121 arrived at the perfect time

Black Wind listened with a face full of joy. He nodded and said, "I agree. I'll go tomorrow and take this man's head."

For a moment, both host and guests were delighted. The room was filled with laughter! The Black Wind Clan Head waved his hand.

Several terrified young women were brought in. They were disheveled, quite attractive, and their faces were filled with fear.

The Black Wind Stronghold Chief laughed, "This stronghold naturally can't compare to your Huang family, where beauties abound. These are all women we've robbed these past few days; Patriarch Huang, you can make do and choose a few yourself."

Then he said, "Bring wine and dishes." In no time, several large jars of wine were brought out.

Roast chicken, roast duck, roast pork, and roast lamb—the aroma of meat fills the air. A beautiful woman pours drinks.

Huang Lao Er, being a guest, went along with the host's suggestion and randomly picked one. Of course, it was much worse than what he had at home.

The village was brightly lit in an instant. A lot of news was coming from the village.

"I have things to do tomorrow, so tonight we'll drink and eat to our hearts' content, and have a blast!"

Suddenly, the mountain village was filled with a festive atmosphere. Then, cries could be heard everywhere.

High in the air, after a good sweat, I feel refreshed and invigorated. My body feels relaxed and at ease. My mind is clear and my whole body is at ease.

A gentleman's sword hung at his waist. He was dressed in black, with an orchid embroidered on his chest, and wore brocade shoes. Riding the wind and clouds, he flew swiftly towards Black Wind Stronghold.

The rolling mountains resemble a magnificent scroll painting. Ancient trees of all kinds, some several meters tall, others said to be dozens of meters high, densely cover the mountains.

Unless it's a massive fire burning the mountain, a tiny, scattered fire, or a campfire, would be completely undetectable.

The mountains are teeming with wild animals, and the cold wind at night makes the leaves rustle, creating an eerie and chilling atmosphere.

As the person flew through the air, their divine sense activated, they slowly ascended! They sensed a place deep in the mountains, where lights shone brightly, completely out of place against the dark backdrop of the mountains at night.

Yunfeng walked slowly down the mountain. Reaching the foot of the mountain not far away, he saw many noisy footprints along the roadside. It seems many people still travel this path.

So he slowly walked uphill, and hadn't gone far when he suddenly heard a voice! 'Well, Black Third Brother. You actually hid secretly.'

Hehe, share one with me! Otherwise, Black Wind Stronghold keeps losing brothers.

Another rough voice rang out. It was probably the third brother from the gang. He shouted, "Pah! They eat meat, drink alcohol, and play around with women every day!"

What about us? We eat the worst food every day. We do the hardest work. This is something I painstakingly hid away, intending to enjoy it myself. Why should I share it with you?

Another voice spoke in a gloomy tone.

"Hey, Third Brother. We share the good times. Let me tell you, every now and then, one of our brothers goes missing for no apparent reason. It's true. If the other brothers found out about your secret woman, they'd probably tear you to pieces."

Then someone chuckled maliciously, "If you're willing to share with me, I'll cover for you. Two people like this will definitely be fine."

Then the two of them seemed to agree.

He heard the third brother say, "Little lady, listen carefully. Tell my brothers and I to serve you well. You won't have to worry about food or drink. Otherwise, you should know the consequences. All those things you robbed together..."

"My lord, spare my life! My lord, spare my life!" came a weak plea for help.

A few lewd laughs rang out.

Upon hearing that there was no particular news, he stopped waiting and strode to the source of the sound.

There were two burly, dark-skinned men, dressed in black shirts and gray trousers. Their shirts were open, and they were about to take off their trousers. There was a woman on the ground, and a simple thatched hut nearby.

None of them can be called sheds, because they are all less than six feet high.

These two men were burly and strong, and appeared to be newly initiated practitioners.

Suddenly, a person appeared. I was so frightened that I trembled all over.

Especially when wearing black clothes. There are tales of gods and ghosts in these deep mountains, and of the eerie. Could it be that evil spirits have come?

Startled, they retreated hastily, 'You're a ghost! We're from Black Wind Stronghold!'

The rough voice probably belongs to the third brother of the gang.

Upon hearing this, He Chen smiled and asked, "This is Black Wind Stronghold. It seems I've come to the right place."

Upon hearing this, Hei Laosan came specifically to find Heifeng Village.

He muttered to himself, 'People came looking for me during the day. Why are they still coming at night?'

So he was no longer afraid. He assumed they were just coming to ask for cooperation again. He said in a pretentious manner.

"Kid, what business do you have with Black Wind Stronghold? Have you brought enough money? If it's nothing serious, you don't need to bother our boss. We'll take care of it for you."

The third brother's eyes darted around, glancing at his companion beside him. He winked slightly at his companion.

The gloomy person from before immediately understood and nodded in agreement.

He Chen continued, "Alright, it would be even better if you could resolve this. I want to cut off the head of this Black Wind Chieftain. To rid the people of this scourge, I wonder if you two are willing?"

The two men's expressions changed upon hearing this. With a 'whoosh,' they drew their swords. The two thin blades gleamed coldly and trembled incessantly.

"Are you serious? Coming all the way to Black Wind Stronghold, you must have eaten a leopard's heart!" said Black Third Brother.

After saying this, the two men pretended to rush over. But then a flash of light appeared in their hands, and they immediately took off running up the mountain. They focused on their journey and didn't call for help.

He Chen couldn't understand it either.

Little did they know, these two were also harboring considerable resentment. They hadn't received any benefits, and were just stuck guarding the mountain gate all day. They were seething with anger when someone came to challenge them.

The more people die, the greater their chances become.

The previous announcement said there would be something big tomorrow, but these two didn't get any benefit. They still have to stay here guarding the mountain gate, without even getting a bite of meat. You can imagine their resentment.

So, when they saw a young hero coming to provoke them...

I was overjoyed and ran off first. But I wondered if I was worried about being punished?

If you could worry about these things, why would you want to be a bandit? You could just go home and be a servant.

Suddenly, with a flick of his hand, spiritual energy transformed into a blade, shooting out from his hand and striking the two men directly in the neck.

Blood splattered everywhere; he hadn't even let out a scream before.

He glanced at the woman, whose eyes were lifeless, and said, "Find a place to hide for now. Leave tomorrow morning."

With a light step, he reached the third brother of the gang. He carefully searched the two men. They had some loose silver coins on them, totaling only seven or eight taels.

Then he approached the woman and whispered, 'Take this money. Find a better place. Don't get involved easily. The stench of blood is too strong here; we need to find another place.'

The woman remained silent, her eyes lifeless.

With a light step, the young man, carrying a knife, leaped into the mountains, his heart filled with murderous intent.

After the boy had walked away, the woman solemnly kowtowed to him. Then she quickly put away the loose silver and carefully disappeared into the darkness.
