Bao Gang laughed heartily: "Of course, no problem. Our Black Wind Stronghold has always welcomed heroes from all walks of life to join us. How about we take care of the remaining guards together first?"

A chill ran through him, for the ambush of the Yu family was a matter of great importance and could not be leaked in the slightest. If he didn't know the man's background and a conflict broke out at this moment, allowing him to escape, things would become troublesome. Therefore, he decided to deal with the Yu family first, and then gather the strength of all his brothers to eliminate him.

Anyway, this person couldn't possibly be a fifth-rank official or higher, otherwise he could have kept everything for himself, why would he need to cooperate with them?

Hiding in the bushes, Ji Xiaoxi was puzzled. She didn't understand what Zu An was up to. If she didn't know about his physical condition, she might have already become suspicious.

“No problem.” Zuan drew a knife and charged forward, clashing swords with the Yu family’s guards.

The Yu family guard swayed, while he was blasted several meters away.

The Black Wind Stronghold members: "..."

The Yu family members: "..."

I thought he was some kind of expert, but he couldn't even beat a third-rank guard? And that guard had just gone through several major battles and was now at his last gasp.

Bao Gang's anger level has increased by 99!

The Black Wind Stronghold bandit's anger level has increased by 99!

Bandit B from Black Wind Stronghold has +99 anger points!

Bandit C from Black Wind Stronghold has +99 anger points!

...

Bao Gang thought about all the things he had been wary of and all the plans he had made, only to find that this guy was just a second-rank official, and he felt a headache coming on.

I wanted to just kill him with one blow, but I was worried that he was faking it. After thinking it over, I had no choice but to suppress my temper. I thought to myself, how dare you play tricks on me? After I deal with the Yu family, I'll make sure to skin you alive.

Anger level from Bao Gang +199!

Seeing Bao Gang's face twitching slightly, Zu An secretly rejoiced. These guys were quite polite, weren't they?

He stopped charging ahead and instead weaved through the crowd, occasionally delivering a finishing blow. This was partly to experience the atmosphere of the battle and partly to get used to his newfound power. His previous encounter with Plum Blossom Twelve was a sneak attack, and there had been no direct combat.

But his actions made the people in Black Wind Stronghold grit their teeth. This guy couldn't help at all; instead, he was just getting in their way. If the Third Leader hadn't secretly given them orders, they might have already killed this troublesome fellow.

The Black Wind Stronghold bandit's anger level has increased by 33!

Bandit B from Black Wind Stronghold has +33 anger points!

Bandit C from Black Wind Stronghold has +33 anger points!

...

After a fierce battle, the Yu family guards were all captured. Bao Gang hesitated for a moment but did not kill them. Instead, he spared the lives of the last few people and placed a restriction on them.

There is a lot of information about the Yu family that needs to be obtained through interrogation, and perhaps these people can also be used to blackmail Madam Yu.

Seeing that these people had been subdued, Zu An rubbed his hands together and walked towards the carriage with a chuckle: "Finally, I can see Lady Yu's beautiful face."

"The Yu family will not let you get away with this!" The guards with knives to their necks glared angrily at Zu An.

Yu Bin's anger level increased by 299!

Yu Jun's anger level increased by 299!

Yu Meng's anger value increased by 299!

...

Zu An chuckled and said, "In this desolate wilderness, how could the Yu family possibly know what I've done?"

"Young man, aren't you getting a little too excited?" Bao Gang sneered from behind.

Zu An's expression changed: "What do you mean?"

Bao Gang waved his hand, and his men in black surrounded him. "Who wouldn't want a beauty like Madam Yu? But there's only one Madam, and we have so many people here. There aren't enough of us to go around, so how could there be any for you?"

"How dare you turn your back on me?" Zu An pointed at him, looking trembling with anger.

"Pah!" Bao Gang cursed, "What kind of scoundrel are you, trying to have fun with us? You're just a second-grade cultivator, who gave you the courage to negotiate with us?"

Having secretly observed him during the battle, he had confirmed that this guy was indeed a second-rank cultivator, not some charlatan pretending to be weak. Having been famous for many years, he was confident that he had the ability to see through such things.

"Chop this guy up and feed him to the dogs!" Bao Gang gave the order, finally venting his anger after holding it in for so long, feeling incredibly relieved.

"stop!"

Seeing the group of people surrounding Zu An, Ji Xiaoxi panicked. She didn't know what Zu An was doing, but she knew that with so many people surrounding him, they could cut him to pieces in no time.

"There's another person!" Bao Gang was startled. He had just sensed someone over there, but when Zu An jumped out, he became careless. He secretly wiped away a cold sweat when he thought about what might have happened if the other person had quietly run away and told others.

"Hahaha, Third Master, we've got another pretty girl. We're really lucky today." The group of men in black couldn't help but whistle when they saw Ji Xiaoxi's beautiful face.

Although they had previously claimed they would capture Madam Yu and enjoy themselves together, they knew their place. Madam Yu was a woman of great stature; she was not someone for lowly soldiers like them to serve. It would definitely be the leaders who would be in charge.

But now things are different. With this charming and beautiful young girl, they finally have hope.

"My father is Ji Dengtu of Bright Moon City. If you release him, we won't tell anyone about what happened today!" Ji Xiaoxi knew that going up there would be pointless for her with her cultivation level, so she could only resort to her father's name.

The men in black were taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter: "A lousy doctor, who are you trying to scare?"
