Chapter 77: Leave Everything Here

Liu Yan activated his B-Grade skill, Traceless Silence, and moved forward to check out the situation first.

At the same time, through the contract, Liu Yan communicated telepathically with the Shadow Wolf and had it notify Murong Xue and Chu Long to bring them over.

It wasn’t that Liu Yan needed the two of them to help him, but rather to prevent them from encountering danger again. If Liu Yan took action here, he wouldn’t be able to escape in time to help them if they were to get into trouble.

As he disappeared, Liu Yan’s movements were completely concealed as he moved forward.

Not long after, Liu Yan stopped behind a patch of flowers and grass to observe the situation in front of him.

There were three Awakened currently surrounded by more than ten other Awakened in the open space in front of them.

When Liu Yan saw this, he was quite surprised. Normally, a small squad of the Awakened consisted of only three people.

When the Awakened had just entered the third level of the Tower, they tended to form large groups.

But later on, rumor had it that the Awakened were ambushed and attacked by a group of fierce beasts that night, resulting in heavy casualties.

After that fateful night, the Awakened realized the power and number of the fierce beast on the third level of the Tower.

The large group disbanded on the spot, and the Awakened began to move separately.

As it turned out, the Academy’s rule of having three people in a group was quite reasonable.

Except for Liu Yan, who was too powerful and could walk alone, the Awakened couldn’t deal with any fierce beast on the third floor of the tower alone.

However, the Awakened could deal with most of the fierce beasts when they travelled in groups of three.

As for the fierce beasts they could not tackle, the safest way was to avoid them and not face them head-on.

Liu Yan didn’t expect that the Awakened would form a large group even though it was already the fourth day in the third level of the Tower.

There were thirteen people in this squad of the Awakened.

However, the three Awakened they were surrounding didn’t look weak either. However, looking at the corpses of the fierce beast and the wounds on their bodies, it was obvious that this group had just been through a huge battle with the fierce beast and was heavily injured.

This small group of Awakened were already injured and were surrounded by four times the number of people. It was a dire situation.

In the open space, the leader of the group was a young man with a clear scar on his face. It was obvious that he didn’t come from the Academy.

“The three of you, surrender all the yin and yang cards you have. Give me whatever you have on you now, and I will spare your lives! If not, I will kill you!” The leader of the group of young men said with a sinister smile.

Seeing this, his subordinates at the side began shouting and clamouring for attention.

“That’s right. Why aren’t you all handing them over? Are you courting death?”

“Our boss Scarface has already spoken, Aren’t you all going to do as he says?”

“I’m sure you’ve heard of our boss, Scarface. And I’m sure you’ve heard about his reputation. If you don’t want to die, then hurry up!”

“These three fools. Are you sure you want to resist? Hahaha!”

“...”

The three Awakened on the other side knew that the ringleader of other party was Scarface. It seemed like they had heard of him before, and their expressions weren’t positive. The three of them discussed in low voices.

“That guy is Scarface. I heard that they’re all very powerful, and their attacks are very vicious.”

“There are many Awakened squads that have already suffered in their hands these past few days.”

“Don’t listen to them. I know that Scarface and the others are very ruthless. Even if we hand over the items, we’ll still be killed. They won’t give us any way out.”

“What should we do? We could make a run for it if we weren’t injured. But we can’t even run now!”

“We can’t hand the weapons over. We’re dead if we do!”

“...”

At the same time, Murong Xue and Chu Long were led by the Shadow Wolf and came over.

Seeing the situation in front of them, Chu Long frowned slightly and said, “These people are too much. More than ten people are bullying just three people!”

Murong Xue looked at the clothes of these people and reminded them, “The Awakened that we met before seemed to be with them.”

Liu Yan was just about to remind them not to speak for fear of discovery, but he was already too late.

One of the underlings beside Scarface said a few words in his ear. Scarface immediately brought a few Awakened to surround Liu Yan and the others.

Obviously, some of them had a perceptive skill.

Liu Yan had been careful about this. After all, Liu Yan had relied on the Traceless Silence skill to hide his voice. That was why he dared to come so close.

If Liu Yan were to use his perceptive skill, he would be able to sense Murong Xue and Chu Long’s arrival from a hundred meters away, not to mention the distance of 20 to 30 meters.

Seeing that he had been discovered, Liu Yan decided not to hide anymore. He brought Murong Xue and Chu Long out of the bushes and revealed themselves.

As for Shadow Wolf, Liu Yan arranged for it to continue hiding. Later on, he could use it as a surprise move. It could also be considered as a backup plan to prevent any accidents.

Seeing Liu Yan and the other two come out, especially the two extremely beautiful ladies, Scarface and the others became excited. They all looked at Murong Xue and Chu Long with narrowed eyes.

“Oh! I didn’t expect to see two great beauties.”

“Aren’t you pretty? I never thought I would see such a pretty lady.”

“Tsk, tsk. tsk. After you’ve had your fun, Boss, I have to be the first one!”

“Aren’t we lucky today, Brothers!”

“...”

Scar’s underlings started to tease them one after another.

They didn’t take Liu Yan, Murong Xue and Chu Long seriously.

The Awakened thought that even if each individual’s skills were stronger, they had strength in numbers. The Awakened themselves were not weak, and could just gang up and get rid of this trio.

At this moment, Scarface frowned as he looked at Liu Yan and the other two. He had a bad feeling, especially when he saw Liu Yan’s calm expression.

Liu Yan looked like an inexperienced young man, with hardly any societal experience. Yet, Scarface just felt like Liu Yan would be a tough opponent.

However, Scarface did not put too much thought into it. After all, there were more than ten people on his side. The other party only had three. It should be a piece of cake, right?

Liu Yan looked at Scarface and the others in front of him, but his expression was calm. He asked indifferently, “Are Big Brother Hai and Shouhou on your side?”

“Big Brother Hai? Shouhou?”

When Scareface’s subordinates heard this, their expressions changed immediately.

“Kid, you know them? Do you know where they are?”

“The last time those guys went out, they didn’t come back. Seriously.”

“They are on our side. Kid, how do you know them? Tell us now!”

When Scarface heard this, he frowned slightly. He looked at Liu Yan, then nodded and said, “That’s right, they are my subordinates. Do you know them? If you know them and are friends, you can hang out with us.”

Liu Yan heard this and immediately confirmed that these people were allies. These were all Awakened that were released from prison, and had taken action against other Awakened in the Tower. Liu Yan decided that he would not let any of them off.

If he came across other groups of the Awakened, Liu Yan would just rob them of their Yin Cards. He would not harm them if it was not necessary.

However, Scarface and the others weren’t good people and harmed countless others.

Liu Yan naturally wouldn’t show mercy.

“Well, since you lot are in cahoots, you’ll all die here today.”

Liu Yan’s tone was extremely calm, but what he said shocked Scarface and the others.
