Chapter 68 Badges and Secret Words

That night,

A figure strolled in the shadows of Mingyun Town.
He easily avoided the patrolling guards and sneaked back from the central area to the outskirts where the treasure-stealing group was located.

"Shi Jie thought it through. If he hadn't called these people to drink, it wouldn't have been so easy to succeed."

Obviously, this is Wang Hao who started the action.

During the day, Shi Jie took him to visit several radical members of the Salt Survivors, and then invited them to drink.

Because of the so-called relationship between the third uncle and the eldest uncle, those survivors of the salt industry just thought that "Yan Jie" was completely close to them.

Naturally, I was not on guard and went to the banquet happily.

After they left their respective residences, Wang Hao took action.

He stole some shoes and clothes from the treasure-stealing group's residence and then sneaked into the residences of these radicals.

They first collected some precious items, and then left a little trace on the shoes and clothes of the treasure-stealing group. The trace was very faint, but it could still be found if you looked closely.

After finishing everything, he returned from the central area to the outer area where the treasure-stealing group was located with ease.

The Yinyuan Society has gathered many members of the treasure-stealing groups, each of which has different groups.

Therefore, in the outer areas, the treasure-hunting groups also have their own divisions of power.

However, patrols here are not as intensive as those in the central area.

Wang Hao walked on the street with a swagger, and no one came to question him.

The entire Mingyun Town has private army patrolling outside and direct soldiers guarding the center. Only the outer area where the treasure-stealing group is located is the most chaotic.

It’s not that the people of Yinyuan Society don’t want the Treasure Stealing Group to show order, it’s just... the Treasure Stealing Group is just a Treasure Stealing Group after all.

Walking between the bases of the treasure-stealing groups, Wang Hao looked around and finally saw a familiar flag.

A black crow.

The Black Crow Treasure Steals!
The treasure-stealing group that was wiped out by the Qianyan Army in Guiliyuan now appeared here openly.

This is also the reason why Wang Hao was so surprised when Shi Jie told Wang Hao that their own treasure-stealing group was called the Black Crow Treasure-stealing Group.

[The Black Crow Treasure Stealing Group, which Wang Hao and the Qianyan Army had previously wiped out, was unexpectedly replaced by Ningguang's men.]

[I can only say that Ningguang is really good at playing. 】

[It's really unlucky for the people of Yinyuan Society to run into Ningguang. 】

[There are spies from the General Affairs Department among the core members, and some in the Treasure Stealing Group. There won't be any in the private army that is not undergoing peripheral training, right?]

[Tsk tsk tsk, with Ningguang's means, if she knew that Yinyuanhui had recruited private soldiers, she would definitely mix some people in. ]

[So, Yinyuan thought that his actions were secretive, but Ningguang actually had the ability to see through them, right? ]

[It should be semi-perspective. At least Shi Jie just got the news about the core area and was unable to pass it on directly.]

【…】

The comments on the forums mocked Yinyuan Hui.

Wang Hao looked around, and after making sure that no one was paying attention to him, he quietly entered the main tent of the Black Crow Treasure Stealing Group.

"Who are you?" A big man in the tent saw someone coming in and immediately became alert.

Wang Hao did not speak first, but threw a badge to the other party, and then said: "It is always the Lord's grace, and it is difficult to accompany. Sikong sighed and prepared, and people returned to their homeland."

This is the token and secret message given by Shi Jie.

After taking the badge, the big man's guard gradually dropped, revealing a gentle look: "How can I help you?"

He did not ask about Wang Hao's specific identity because that was against the rules.

His mission is to lurk in the treasure-stealing group and provide assistance to those who hold the emblem.
He doesn't care about other things.

"I need information about all the treasure-stealing groups here, especially those with bad tempers who get angry easily." Wang Hao said directly. The big man nodded and said directly:
"The Iron Axe Treasure Stealers. Their leader is a man who uses a big axe. He has a bad temper. It is said that he escaped to the Treasure Stealers because he killed someone. Their symbol is a black axe."

"The Two-Headed Crow Treasure Stealing Group is a treasure stealing group that holds the Crow Seal. Their boss is very sinister and petty. Their symbol is..."

"The Gray Wing Treasure Stealing Group was once the Gray Crow Treasure Stealing Group. They were wiped out by the Thousand Rocks Army and lost the Crow Seal. The current leader also has a bad temper."

He reported several treasure-stealing groups in succession, including one that possessed the Crow Seal.

The Crow Seal is the true symbol of the treasure-stealing group. Theoretically speaking, only the treasure-stealing group that holds the Crow Seal is a recognized treasure-stealing organization.

Treasure-stealing groups like the Iron Axe Treasure-stealing Group are actually just a gang of robbers who kill people and rob, and are not recognized by the treasure-stealing group organization at all.

The reason why the big man who was communicating with Wang Hao was able to sneak in smoothly was because Ningguang obtained the Crow Seal of the Black Crow Treasure Stealing Group and gave it to the big man.

He already has the Black Crow's mark on him, so how could he not be the Black Crow?

Therefore, the big man holding the Crow Seal naturally replaced the former Black Crow.

After noting down the several treasure-stealing groups mentioned by the big man, Wang Hao nodded slightly, took back the badge from the big man, and left.

He did not ask about the big man's specific identity. The only proof of trust between them was a badge and a secret code.

Only recognizing the badge and not the person, and only listening to the secret words and not anything else, is also a way to avoid being tricked into revealing one's identity.

Leaving the Black Crow Treasure Stealing Group,
Wang Hao continued to travel through the outer area where the treasure-stealing groups were located, and soon found out the locations of the several treasure-stealing groups that the big man had told him.

In the dark night,

The agile figure emerged from several treasure-stealing group camps without attracting anyone's attention.

……

Early the next morning,
A loud noise rang out throughout Mingyun Town.

In the core area, some of the Salt Survivors angrily rushed to the treasure-stealing group area.

Behind them, there were the direct troops of the Yinyuan Society, holding swords and guns to help stand on the platform.

"I say, gentlemen, what are you doing so early in the morning?" A member of the treasure-hunting group who was woken up came out and said very unhappily.

The Treasure Stealers were originally unruly people, and they followed the orders of the Silver Plains Society only for Mora's sake.

They are not members of the Yinyuan Society.
If only a few individuals were bullied, these treasure-hunting groups would not care. But if someone came with people to attack like this, the treasure-hunting groups would not be easily bullied.

Therefore, some treasure-hunting groups also gathered here with weapons in hand.

"Hmph, stop talking nonsense. The central area was robbed last night. Get out of the way. We need to conduct an inspection." The leader of the Yinyuan Society was none other than Wang Hao's second brother Yan Wu, whom he had visited with Shi Jie yesterday.

He was holding a big knife in his hand, looking murderous.

However, this did not scare the treasure-stealing group.

A single treasure-hunting group is just a bunch of worms, but if hundreds of them come together, they can also be cannibalistic.

"Oh, if you want to search, then search. I won't let you."

The treasure-stealing group that was speaking seemed to be a big boss.

He had no other intention in stopping Yan Wu, he just simply was displeased with him.

With the leader angry, many treasure-hunting groups also came up to support him.

"Yes, if you don't allow me, then I won't allow me."

"You guys are enjoying yourself in the center, and now you want to search us? You're dreaming."

"When I was killing people, you didn't even know where I was. Who are you trying to scare with a broken knife?"

The treasure-stealing group taunted Yan Wu.
