On the outskirts of the misty forest, a man and a woman hid behind a huge rock, concealing their presence.
The young man said: "Sanniang, this is not the place we agreed on. We need to go forward half an hour. How did you determine that the old man behind Liu Zhan is so powerful?" The person asking the question was Jiang Feng
Sanniang: "Just watch the show later! That old man, didn't you notice? Every time Liu Zhan spoke, he would glance at him intentionally or unintentionally, as if asking a question. Why would the head of a regiment care so much about the old man's opinion? There is only one possibility: this old man is very powerful!"
After an unknown amount of time, several figures stopped, and the leader said, "Remember, you guys, set up the formation here. Once we get our people inside, choose the right moment and activate it!"
Several people said solemnly: "Yes, sir"
Then the leader took the other person and walked towards the misty forest.
All of this was seen by Jiang Feng and the others. It was just as Sanniang had guessed. This group of soldiers was going to wait until the treasure hunt was over to attack and kill them, and then annex Huoyun Village.
Sanniang gave Jiang Feng a look, and then the two of them slowly retreated. When they reached a safe place, Jiang Feng couldn't help but speak: "This Liu Zhan's methods are really clever. Fortunately, Sanniang saw through his evil plan. What should we do now?"
Sanniang laughed wickedly and said, "They are going to kill us, so we should collect some interest first."
At this time, the five people left by Liu Zhan were discussing countermeasures. One of them was in the middle stage of foundation building, and the other four were in the early stage of foundation building. This Liu Zhan was hiding something deep!
Suddenly, Jiang Feng came behind the middle-stage foundation-building warrior like a ghost, and used the second move of the Wind and Snow Hundred Splitting Fist: Hundred Splits Return to One.
Instantly, countless fist shadows descended from the air, then coalesced into a single punch, slamming squarely into the man's chest. Before the mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator could react, a hole the size of a bowl had already formed in his chest. A second later, his body exploded, blood and flesh splattering everywhere.
Seeing this, the other four turned around and ran. Jiang Feng dodged and punched out with a Hundred Breaking Fists. With a scream, he killed one of them.
The remaining three glanced at each other as if making a decision. One of them fled towards the Misty Forest, probably chasing Liu Zhan, while the other two drew their weapons and prepared to fight Jiang Feng. An elder asked, "Who are you, fellow Daoist? Why are you trying to kill us? Do you know we are from the Bing Zhan Corps?"
Jiang Feng laughed and said, "We're going to kill the Bing Zhantuan." He threw another punch, and within a few breaths, the two men fell to the ground, dead. Jiang Feng didn't rush to chase the last man, but instead summoned the power of the Fire Spirit to clean up the battlefield and collect some spoils.
Not long after, Sanniang came back. Jiang Feng smiled at each other and said, "Did it work?"
A storage bag was thrown over. "Of course, don't underestimate me! Fourth brother, recover your spiritual power. We'll meet up with Liu Zhan in a few hours."
These people have a total of 500 low-grade spirit stones and 50 medium-grade spirit stones. It seems that the formation they want to set up requires a lot of spirit stones, so they can make a small fortune.
Jiang Feng took out his spirit stone and began to recover. He had just used Hundred Splits Returning to One, and he was quite shocked. It was incredibly powerful. However, it consumed a lot of spiritual energy. If he put on the Sky-Splitting Fist Gloves and imbued them with fire spiritual energy, he could unleash his strongest attack. With his current late Foundation Establishment cultivation, he could only manage three punches.
A few hours later, outside the Misty Forest, Liu Zhan looked around and said, "Second Uncle, why hasn't Huoyun Village arrived yet? Could they have run into our people on the way?"
The old man whom Liu Zhan called his second uncle was Liu Guang, the outer sect deacon of the Tianxing Sect.
Liu Guang said: "No, those five people have followed me for many years, so be careful. After this treasure hunt, you must also prepare well. You must get good results in the sect recruitment."
Liu Zhan bowed and said, "Don't worry, uncle, I will not let you down."
Liu Zhan thought for a moment and asked, "Second Uncle, why didn't you kill Huoyun Village and seize the treasure map in advance? Song Yunfeng is injured. Why do we have to wait until after the treasure hunt?"
Liu Guang explained, "Even if Song Yunfeng wasn't injured, what's the point? He's just a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. I can easily destroy him with a flick of my hand. The reason I didn't take action is that I had to eradicate the root of the problem first and not let any news leak out. What I'm more concerned about is that Jiang Feng. At such a young age, even I can't see through his cultivation. I wonder if he's a disciple from a certain family who's come out to gain experience. He'll act according to my instructions later."
Soon after, Jiang Feng and the other man appeared at the meeting place. Sanniang walked towards them with a smile: "Captain Liu, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."
Liu Zhan was surprised: "Chief Song didn't come?"
Sanniang sighed, "To be honest, my eldest brother is injured, so my fourth brother and I will be participating in this treasure hunt. Liu Tuanzhan, please take care of me!"
Liu Zhan didn't expect Song Yunfeng to not come, but it was Hu Sanniang who came who was in the middle stage of foundation building: "Sanniang, you are joking. We are allies now, so we should be of one mind."
"What should I call this fellow Taoist?" Sanniang looked at Liu Guang.
Liu Zhan said: "This is my second uncle Liu Guang. He was traveling outside and now he has joined the Bingzhan Corps." Liu Zhan's words were half true and half false, but they were still watertight.
A moment later, the four of them walked into the misty forest!
