On this day, Chu Yunfan and the others chased a group of sand pirates to a hill. Only then did they realize that they had been surrounded.

It was a trap. Chu Yunfan’s team was surrounded in every direction.

More than 200 sand pirates emerged from the ground. All of them had a strong scent of blood on their bodies. They had been through hundreds of battles and were extremely terrifying.

These people surrounded Chu Yunfan and his teammates. Among the sand pirates stood six sand pirate leaders. All of them had crossed the Acquired Stage. It was clear that they had spent a lot of money to reach this level.

The old Tengda Group could only afford to raise one Acquired Stage expert. The Acquired Stage bodyguards Chu Yunfan had hired were worth tens of millions each year.

An expert of this level was definitely not someone that ordinary people could recruit just because they wanted to. At Federation University, many students were Acquired Stage experts, but for ordinary enterprises to recruit these people was as difficult as ascending to the Heavens. This was because every single one of these people was a chosen one. The probability of them lowering their heads and accepting small jobs was minuscule.

“D*mn. How much money have they spent?” Chu Yunfan could not help but blurt out these words. His teammates were visibly solemn. They thought that they were the hunters. They had not expected these sand pirates to have set up a trap for them.

Although the sand pirates were terrifying, it was not enough to beat these students. There were only a little over 200 of them. If they wanted to break out of this entrapment, they could easily do so. The only problem was the six leaders.

All of these six leaders were Acquired Stage experts. If they were to be entangled with them, it would be much more difficult for them to escape.

“Get out! Now!” Sha Yingying was decisive and instantly made her decision.

“Sha Yingying. Since you come this far, why not stay for a bit?”

Suddenly, a frivolous voice sounded. Immediately after, a figure slowly walked out from behind the hill. It was a man around the age of 20. He was wearing a set of azure armor that was extremely eye-catching in this extremely cold desert.

This man carried a frivolous and proud air.

Upon seeing this person, a look of hatred flashed through Sha Yingying’s eyes.

“What’s the matter? Aren’t you going to say a few words upon seeing your old classmate?” the man said with a faint smile on his lips. This smile explained everything.

The others were also looking at this man with anger. Chu Yunfan instantly understood that the others were acquainted with Gu Lang.

Chu Yunfan understood some things after seeing this. Upon recalling that Gu Lang also hailed from Federation University, it was not difficult to guess what was going on.

“You’re not dead yet. That’s great,” Sha Yingying said with a cold smile.

“And why would I be dead? Hahaha!” Gu Lang laughed. “Over the past half a year, many people have chased after me. Even some people from Federation University’s Internal Affairs Department had come. But I didn’t expect you guys to come to chase me. Looks like the last bit of friendship is about to be severed.”

“Gu Lang, you have the nerve to talk to me about friendship,” Liao Fan said scathingly, “You’ve killed so many people. I too never expected you to be a spy of the Monster Cult.”

“Liao Fan, sharp-tongued as always, but what’s the use?” Gu Lang said with a cold smile.

“Since you’re my classmates, I’ll let you in on something. I’ll let you live a little longer.” There was a cold expression on Gu Lang’s face. “Capture them. Don’t kill them, but you can cripple them as you please. It just so happens that my lab is lacking in test subjects. They’ll do just nicely.”

“Yes, sir!”

The sand pirate leaders responded one after another. They were clearly subordinates that Gu Lang had subjugated. They were very respectful toward him.

“I’ll hold them off. You guys retreat,” Sha Yingying said in a serious tone.

“No way!” The first to object was naturally Sha Peng. He said, “Sister, are you crazy?!”

“I’m not crazy. I know Gu Lang’s style. Since he has set up this trap, he must have confidence in winning. If you guys stay, there’s no other possibility aside from death,” Sha Yingying said.

“Hahaha! After all this time, it’s still you who knows me best. That’s right. I was prepared for this, so it’ll be impossible for you guys to leave. I hate it when people target me. Whoever targets me will die. The same goes for you guys,” Gu Lang said ruthlessly. He possessed nothing of the so-called deep feelings of a classmate. “You want to leave? Not today. All of you will become my test subjects. I need to add a few Acquired warriors to my team.”

“Looks like the negotiation has broken down. Senior Sha, you seem to know this Gu-whatever fellow. Are you sure you’re okay with me killing him?” Chu Yunfan asked as he stepped forward.

Sha Yingying looked toward Chu Yunfan and said, “Chu Yunfan, I know that you’re very strong, but now isn’t the time to show off. Gu Lang is stronger than me, but he’s just one person. We will encircle him and kill him together.

“We have a chance to get out of this, but Gu Lang doesn’t do things that he isn’t confident in. Since he dares to appear and encircle, he must be prepared. It’s better for me to stay behind to cover the rear than for all of us to be trapped here.”

Watching Sha Yingying grit her teeth, Chu Yunfan understood why she was the leader of this group. It was not only because she was strong, but it was also because she was responsible. She had a natural charisma that attracted others to her.

Staying behind to cover the rear would certainly seal Sha Yingying’s fate. It was not something that could be done with just courage.

“It’s too late to escape. He surely won’t allow us to do so. I think it’s better to capture the leader first and take him down. The rest are just a bunch of useless chickens and dogs,” Chu Yunfan disagreed with Sha Yingying. His eyes shone brightly as he stared at Gu Lang.

“Hahaha, you have foresight and courage. Chu Yunfan, you’re a talent that our sacred cult thinks highly of. It would be a pity if you were to be beaten to death by Jiang Lingxiao in the death arena a year from now.

“Your future is as bright as his. I don’t know what grudges you have with him, but if you willingly join our sacred cult, I guarantee that you’ll gain the power to kill him within five years and completely surpass him within ten. I think you’re talented, so I’ll give you this chance.”

Gu Lang laughed.

“Who do you think you are? You’re just a small fry in the Monster Cult and you dare to threaten to give me a future?” Chu Yunfan sneered.
