Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 1373: Chapter 754: Night Raid (Part 2)

The Golden Roach King was a bit sluggish, but when it saw Zhu San’s figure gradually disappearing, it immediately started chirping, calling its little brothers to follow.

In an instant, the sound of countless shells rubbing echoed through the mountains.

Under the moonlight, the cockroach swarm had grown even larger in just a few days, surging toward the drainage canal like a tide.

Jindai Yunlo was very busy tonight. He had to send off Jindai Sorajima, welcome the outlaw Zhu San, and do a lot more.

…

…

The streets of City 20 were deserted, with a full curfew imposed across the north due to the Parents’ Meeting strike wave. Only the high caste had the right to go out at night.

Jindai Yunlo was desperately fleeing, seemingly in a panic, with a route that made no sense and lacked any pattern.

Initially, the Garrison Forces thought he was trying to escape out of the city, even activating the metal storm on the city walls, but Jindai Yunlo kept leading them around the city without any intention of leaving.

Some started to wonder: could this guy be lost?

If he kept going like this, wouldn’t he eventually be surrounded? Surely he would die then.

As time passed, the encirclement gradually tightened, reducing Jindai Yunlo’s range of movement.

Until he suddenly saw Jindai Yunxiu at an intersection, wearing a suit and holding a long katana in his arms.

Jindai Yunlo slowed his pace, placing his hands in his sleeves, and smiled as he asked, “Did they send you to kill me? Do they know you’re not my match?”

At the north end of the street, three Qieshe Yumian experts appeared, dragging their long knives slowly on the ground, sparks flying from the ground.

On the south segment of the street, four more Qieshe Yumian experts appeared, surrounding the two, creating a battlefield.

They weren’t advancing recklessly, seeming to leave the opportunity to Jindai Yunxiu.

The eyes of these death warriors were locked onto the two, and any unusual behavior would prompt the seven masters to act instantly.

The air on this long street felt frozen, unbearably heavy, pressing down like a weight impossible to bear.

Jindai Yunlo looked at Jindai Yunxiu: “Are you planning to fight me?”

Jindai Yunxiu calmly said, “You brought this upon yourself, placing outsiders’ interests over the clan’s. If such behavior isn’t punished, how will the clan manage in the future?”

Jindai Yunlo nodded: “Being the Protector for our clan’s top enemy, Qing Chen, seems indeed a bit excessive, and even drinking with him, opposing your new bosses, the Kingdom and Future Organization… Even I think I might have gone too far! So yes, it makes sense you all want to kill me!”

The Qieshe Yumian masters exchanged puzzled looks; why was he suddenly accusing himself?

Jindai Yunxiu slowly stepped toward Jindai Yunlo: “If you know what wrong you did, then don’t blame the clan for disregarding old ties.”

But just then, someone suddenly threw a can of beer from above.

With a thud, the can exploded at Jindai Yunxiu’s feet, staining his shoes with white foam.

Residents on both sides of the road silently watched the scene.

At first, they thought it was just a Jindai internal feud, having nothing to do with them.

But when Jindai Yunlo mentioned he was being hunted because he served Qing Chen as a Protector, even the usually timid common folks couldn’t hold back.

Qing Chen, the Parents’ Meeting, had long spread like a virus during strike and march waves.

Especially with every article Gao Wen from Hope Media wrote recently, pushing the Parents’ Meeting and Qing Chen’s prestige to higher levels.

Perhaps even Qing Chen himself didn’t know he had more followers than he imagined.

So someone threw a beer can at Jindai Yunxiu.

Jindai Yunlo watched the scene in astonishment, then turned to the upper floors smiling: “Thank you for your goodwill, but don’t draw attention to yourselves at this time or you’ll be implicated.”

“Enough with the nonsense, I’m sorry in advance, I’ve got no choice,” Jindai Yunxiu slowly drew his katana, going for an all-out attack.

Jindai Yunlo laughed: “Let’s see if you’ve improved.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Jindai Yunxiu lunged forward, katana at the ready, aiming to cut down the Onmyoji body directly.

Jindai Yunlo leapt backward, controlling three shikigami to counter the attack, while three others dealt with the obstacles behind him.

The two rapidly moved along the long street, residents on both sides held their breath!

Tonight, they unexpectedly got to witness the top cultivators from both Qieshe Yumian and Onmyoji traditions clash!

…

…

In the Garrison Camp of City 10.

Jindai Sorajima hysterically shouted: “Let me out, prepare an airship for me immediately, I must depart to City 20!”

Qing Ye was leaning against the doorway, cleaning his ear and sighing: “This girl is supposed to be quiet and gentle, but she’s suddenly like this for Jindai Yunlo. Weren’t they supposed to be cousins?!”

“Jindai doesn’t care about these things; their movies make it seem like ethics don’t matter…” Qing Qu muttered.

“Ah, that makes some sense,” Qing Ye nodded in agreement.

Jindai Sorajima glared at Qing Ye: “You still have time for idle chatter? If it weren’t for Qing Chen inviting Yunlo to be his Protector, how would tonight’s events have happened?”

Qing Ye glanced at his watch, patiently explaining: “Listen, girl, we’re not just idly chatting; we’re waiting for the right time.”

“What time?” Jindai Sorajima was stunned: “What do you mean?”

Qing Ye, cheerfully removing his gaze from the watch, said: “The time has come… You know our boss, his mind? Haven’t you experienced it by now? From tonight, everything is intricately planned; since he wanted to lure you to City 10, how could he watch you encounter trouble? Everyone, let’s go, let’s work!”

With that, Qing Ye and Qing Qu led the way in, with a family member holding the Golden Eye of Truth, opening a Key of Gate for them.

Behind Qing Ye, hundreds of firearms floated, along with ten full boxes of ammunition, looking like they planned to massacre the city.

As Jindai Sorajima saw the Key of Gate opening, she immediately wanted to rush through, only to be forced back by Qing Ye’s floating firearms.

He said: “Girl, stay put here, don’t make it difficult for us, or we’ll have to tie you up, and that wouldn’t be pleasant. Relax, Jindai Yunlo won’t die tonight.”

Jindai Sorajima then turned to see the doors of the conference room open, revealing the fully armed Shadow Troop filing in, their faces smeared with black and green paint, looking fierce and serious.

Was this the legendary B-Class average Shadow Troop?!

This moment made Jindai Sorajima realize that Qing Chen was using tonight as an opportunity to launch a night raid on Jindai City 20!

She realized there were many things she didn’t know and that Jindai Yunlo seemed to have already reached some agreement with Qing Chen, not fighting hastily.

With this understanding, Jindai Sorajima suddenly said: “I want to join the Shadow Troop; if I join, can I go with you?”

Qing Ye laughed: “What are you thinking? Your skill at exploiting loopholes is way beneath our boss’s level.”
