Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaofei was startled and instantly hid inside the spatial bead.
Standing inside the spatial bead, Lin Xiaofei was surprised to see a Taoist priest in a white robe chatting with a burly man as they strolled along the mountain path.
"Isn't this the little bully?"
When he was chasing He Buzhong, I profited from it, obtaining the Three Body Tempering Techniques and a large amount of silver. My improvement in strength was somewhat related to him. How could he be near Shuitong Bay?
There was another person, who turned out to be the fourth leader of Black Wind Stronghold? But he was wearing a white Taoist robe and had a red bronze bell hanging at his waist, looking remarkably like Master Zhang. Could he be Master Zhang's disciple?
As Lin Xiaofei pondered this, a figure suddenly appeared in his mind, and he knew who it was.
Zhang Shuanghai, a disciple of Master Zhang.
Previously, in Zhang Yugui's cultivation records, it was mentioned that Master Zhang had a disciple. Today, through the spatial bead, he saw that the disciple's clothes and appearance were very similar to Master Zhang's, and he immediately guessed who the disciple was.
"Zhang Shuanghai is not only a cultivator, but also the fourth leader of Black Wind Stronghold. What is the relationship between Immortal Master Zhang and Black Wind Stronghold?"
Lin Xiaofei wondered to himself.
In his view, Master Zhang was respected throughout Qingshan Town, and even the leader of the Qingfeng Gang branch had to give him some respect. However, Zhang Shuanghai was a bandit hated by everyone in Qingshan Town. The fact that the two of them had a master-disciple relationship surprised him.
Why is Zhang Shuanghai, the fourth leader of Black Wind Stronghold, with a small-time bandit leader?
Lin Xiaofei stood inside the spatial bead, watching the two people slowly walk on the path in front of him, intending to listen to more of their conversation.
Unfortunately, their conversation was coming to an end. Zhang Shuanghai said coldly, "Since you already know that this matter is of great benefit to both of us, then deliver the goods as soon as possible. I'll give you a month and a half at most. Otherwise, I'll take action myself, and you should know what the consequences will be, right?"
"Understood, I will take care of it."
The little bully smiled and nodded.
Zhang Shuanghai glanced at the little bully, turned around, and lightly touched the ground with one foot, stepping on the flowers and leaves like a dragonfly skimming the water. He leaped into the air and instantly flew more than ten meters away, heading towards the low hills and deep forests.
"The speed at which they trampled through the branches and leaves is far superior to the lightness skills of us martial artists. It is truly a skill that only cultivators possess."
Watching Zhang Shuanghai leave, the little bully's eyes lit up with envy. He couldn't help but sigh, then turned and headed back down the path. He then mounted a black horse and rode away quickly, seemingly in a hurry.
Only after the two figures gradually disappeared did Lin Xiaofei glance around to make sure there was no one else there before emerging from the spatial bead.
He didn't attack the two men earlier, after all, they were bandit leaders, and their men might be nearby. If they were to attract a large number of bandits, he himself wouldn't be in trouble, but he was afraid that Liu Hengchang and Qin Hong would suddenly come looking for him, which would put Qin Hong and Liu Hengchang in trouble.
Even if the three of them could kill the little bully and Zhang Shuanghai among a group of bandits, the consequences would be something the three of them couldn't afford to offend.
Especially Zhang Shuanghai, who is the fourth leader of Black Wind Stronghold. Once the third, second, and first leaders of Black Wind Stronghold find out, the three of them will be targeted by Black Wind Stronghold in Qingshan Town, just like when Zhang Shulong of Zhang Family Escort Agency was killed by the bandits of Black Wind Stronghold.
Moreover, Zhang Shuanghai also has a master who is not someone to be trifled with.
Therefore, Lin Xiaofei had simply stayed quietly inside the spatial bead, eavesdropping on their conversation.
"Are those two making a deal? Zhang Shuanghai wants the bully to escort something, what could it be?"
Lin Xiaofei was puzzled and muttered to himself.
It's unlikely that a deal between two bandit leaders is going to be anything good. Moreover, Zhang Shuanghai's master is Zhang Xianshi, so could Zhang Xianshi also be a hidden bandit?
If Master Zhang is also a bandit from Black Wind Stronghold, could this transaction also be related to Master Zhang?
After thinking about it, he still had no clue. However, Lin Xiaofei made some judgments based on the content of the conversation between the two.
The thing Zhang Shuanghai wanted was for Black Wind Stronghold, but he didn't know what it was or what it was used for.
"Furthermore, since Master Zhang is the master of the fourth leader of Black Wind Stronghold, he must not be a good person either."
When I killed Zhang Yugui, the strange beasts he raised were mostly used to harm the chickens raised by villagers outside the town for his own profit. Zhang Xianshi's son was not a good person to begin with.
Therefore, that Immortal Master Zhang may have done many bad things in secret, and since his cultivation level is no lower than the fifth level of Qi Refining, he is a dangerous person.
After thinking for a while, Lin Xiaofei's thoughts gradually became clear, and he couldn't help but sigh.
After the bully had completely left, Lin Xiaofei walked back along the river.
When they arrived near Daozhai, they saw Liu Hengchang and Qin Hong searching quickly in the woods. They called out to them, and the three of them soon gathered together.
"Are you alright?"
Qin Hong asked with concern.
Do I look injured to you?
Lin Xiaofei shrugged and said with a smile.
Although the traitor was clever and had some strength, killing the other party was effortless; it was a one-hit kill. However, on the way back, he accidentally encountered the bully and Zhang Shuanghai talking, which delayed him a little.
Liu Hengchang glanced at Lin Xiaofei and saw a bright red package in his hand, with blood dripping onto the ground. He knew it was the head of a traitor, so he didn't ask any further questions.
"Let's go back."
Lin Xiaofei said something, and the three of them walked into the village. They saw several corpses in the courtyard, indicating that all the bandits had been killed.
“The traitor has been killed. Now, let’s search the houses in the village. These bandits have been here for many years, so they must have hidden some valuables!”
With a smile on his face, Liu Hengchang quickly walked into the house through the front door.
Lin Xiaofei and Qin Hong both nodded. Qin Hong went into the house and ransacked it, while Lin Xiaofei searched the yard outside.
Half an hour later, the three of them were taking stock of their belongings in the courtyard outside the house. Qin Hong and Liu Hengchang each carried a large package, while Lin Xiaofei held three horse reins and had three black horses standing beside him.
