Chapter 239 – Striking the Black
However, in the eyes of Yang Junshan and the others, it was actually no different than eating the dark. Although the gains from killing the robbers belonged to everyone, the truth was that half of the gains from killing the robbers would be turned over to the Heaven-Shaken Sect. The remaining half would be divided equally among the cultivators in order to gag everyone.
After noon that day, Liu Zhifei brought all the members of the third team and hurriedly left the stronghold. At the same time, squads five and seven left the stronghold, but the three squads didn’t greet each other, and their destinations were different as well.
Some of their expressions were calm, while some of their thoughts were directly on their faces. However, with Liu Zhifei’s pressure and Ning Ran’s and Xiong Xiyi’s indifferent attitude, no one dared to say anything, and only buried their heads in the desolate mountain forest.
In truth, what Liu Zhifei had done was simply to not let the matter of the bandits be leaked out, but as for the bandits, they did not have any concerns at all. Not to mention the huge being erected behind Liu Zhifei, no one dared to go against it, not to mention the large amount of spoils of war that they received.
As for the risk involved, from the moment they became border guards, regardless of whether it was voluntary or forced, everyone had already considered the risk.
A gust of wind swept through the dense forests of the wilderness, and the ten Martial Realm Cultivator s were already more than thirty meters away. The eyes of the mortals could only see the shadows of people, and this was because everyone had used the Wind Riding Talisman to stick to their legs. Although Liu Zhifei was able to fly in the air and escape, he was useless towards the others.
As Yang Junshan followed the crowd as they fled, he looked around at the surrounding terrain routes, only to realize that they had actually left the border region, and were headed for the Wangshan Town.
The more they walked on the mountain road, the more deserted they became, and gradually they went deeper into the wilderness. Although there were small paths here, it was impossible to make a caravan with a large number of caravans move, not just Yang Junshan, but also others. At this time, suspicion filled their hearts, thinking, could it be that the person chasing them was a solo merchant or a solo thief?

Amongst the field, Yang Tiangang smiled as he welcomed Fang Xuansheng and Yan Qinxi to the warehouse to serve them tea.
After the two of them greeted each other with the honor of being juniors, Yan Qinxi asked first: “Sorry to trouble you, Senior Yang, to receive me, I am sorry, but where did Brother Yang go?”
Yang Tiangang laughed and said: “My son has been selected to be one of the border guards of the Heaven-Shaken Sect, and just received the small team’s notice yesterday, but he has already rushed over. This old man does not know the reason why, but before my son left, he entrusted the matter of the two young friends to me, so you two just need to talk about it. When my son left, he said that the two young friends are both disciples of a large sect, so you can trust him.
Yan Qinxi and Fang Xuansheng looked at each other, and Fang Xuansheng nodded his head, and said: “Alright, senior is too straightforward, this junior will not be hypocritical anymore, and will follow the rules that was set the day before, this time I will try my best to bring what Brother Yang needs, if there are any deficiencies, we will also compensate you according to the quantity of Jade Coins s.”

Liu Zhifei and the rest were hiding behind a mountain, looking at the extremely simple and crude village from a distance. Yang Junshan and the rest of the seven were hiding behind him, the only ones missing were Ning Ran and Xiong Xiyi.
After a while, Yang Junshan’s brows twitched, and his gaze swept downwards to the left almost imperceptibly. After that, he continued to concentrate on looking at the village at the foot of the mountain, but he heard Liu Zhifei chuckle, and said: “He’s back!”
Everyone naturally knew that Liu Zhifei was referring to Ning Ran and Xiong Xiyi who went to investigate, but when they looked around, they did not see any clues.
It was at this time that Ning Ran’s voice came from below four hundred and fifty meters to the left of everyone, and he said: “Senior Brother Liu is impressive, to have been discovered by Senior Brother Liu from such a distance. It seems like this Invisibility Rune is only so-so.”
It was indeed Xiong Xiyi and Ning Ran. At the same time, two yellow colored talismans fell from the sky, and the light that was nurturing them gradually dissipated. In the instant they landed, they fell to the ground, turning into ashes.
Everyone gathered behind the mountain ridge. Liu Zhifei looked at the two people who had returned and asked: “How are things inside the village?”
Ning Ran took the lead and said: “The village is newly built, but it is extremely simple and crude, and there are quite a few messy looking boxes inside. From the looks of it, they are all plundered items, that’s right, it should bemporary camp for robbers!”
Xiong Xiyi continued to speak: “There should be more than ten people inside, six of them are cultivators, and only two of them have martial arts realm, the rest are mortals, they should be the guards, and there should be other accomplices in this stronghold. They most likely already went out to look for their targets.”
Ning Ran then said: “There are some simple and crude warning methods around the village, but they are not considered good, we can easily avoid them and catch them off guard!”
Liu Zhifei’s face had a look of happiness, and he said in a low voice: “Looks like we are quite lucky, we encountered a bandit’s nest, and from the looks of it, the bandit has yet to return. The remaining people are nohreat, we just have to take care of their nest, we must definitely not let anyone escape!”
Just as Liu Zhifei was about to arrange a circle of people to annihilate all Fei Xiu, Fang Zhonghui suddenly asked curiously: “Why are there mortals here?”
Liu Zhifei slightly paused for a moment, before faintly speaking from the side: “We are family!”
Everyone were startled, but Liu Zhifei opened his mouth to speak, everyone could only suppress the uneasiness in their hearts, and focused on listening to Liu Zhifei’s arrangements.

Amongst the field, the people of Madame Yang had finished counting the supplies Fang Xuansheng and Yan Qinxi had brought, they nodded towards Yang Tiangang, who then signalled to the other person and finished transferring the two sets of array flags, the array discs and array diagrams.
Yang Tiangang laughed: “Speaking of our deal with you two, it is the last deal of our caravan. After you two have left, I will also be returning to the Xishan Village.”
Yan Qinxi laughed: “Three days ago, when I met brother Yang, this warehouse was full, but now it’s sold out. It’s clear that Senior Yang’s business is flourishing, you must have maduge profit!”
Yang Tiangang smiled and shook his head: “The trade is still considered prosperous, but the big profits are not necessarily true. They are all country bumpkin and wild game, although there are a lot of them, they are not worth much Jade Coins s, and won’t enter the eyes of the disciples of the two sects!”
Yang Tiangang personally escorted Fang Xuansheng and Yan Qinxi to the exit of the warehouse. The two of them clasped their hands and said their goodbyes.
Yan Qinxi’s gaze was hesitating, as though she wanted to say something, only to see that there was someone who was rushing over to the warehouse, and Yang Tiangang had obviously already seen the person who had arrived, and welcomed him with a serious expression, while Fang Xuansheng whispered to urge him on, causing Yan Qinxi’s eyes to dim, and then he turned and left.
Seeing Yang Qianhai rushing over, Yang Tiangang’s expression became anxious, knowing that the matter was related to Yang Junshan, he hurried over, and asked: “Did something happen at the small mountain?”
Yang Qianhai passed a piece of Message Talisman in his hand over and said, “This is a message that Miss Bao Yuer has sent back. Third Uncle, take a look yourself!”
Yang Tiangang suspiciously accepted the Message Talisman s and looked, his expression immediately changed and said: “Go and invite Clan Leader Xu, Clan Chief Shi and the others back, inform the caravan to temporarily halt their journey, we are not leaving today.”
Yang Qianhai only knew that the news was urgent, but did not know the contents, and immediately replied: “But the merchant caravan has already been cleaned up, and every day at the warehouse, they will have to pay a large amount of rent to the field, and the market is not over yet, and there are still caravans rushing in unceasingly. When they found out that I had left today, they had arranged for the other caravans to return tomorrow.”
Yang Tiangang waved his hand, he was already walking towards the warehouse. As he walked, he said: “Don’t say anymore, we are not lacking in rent, and with the field s telling An Xia to work things out, we would rather spend more and we can talk about it tomorrow.”

Yang Junshan’s sudden outburst shocked the other people around him, they only saw him expressionlessly fighting with a Martial Realm Cultivator who was shouting and rushing towards them with his life on the line, while the other people saw that Yang Junshan was the first to rush in, so they did not stay any longer, and quickly went to the side of the two to fight their way into the village.
As for Fei Xiu, who was fighting with Yang Junshan, his transformation was obvious, he should be injured, but at the moment, he was like a mad tiger, fighting with Yang Junshan with all his might, but he was far from being as strong as Yang Junshan. After fighting for a while, his head was smashed apart by Yang Junshan’s finger, the red and white of his body splattering everywhere.
Xiong Xiyi frowned and avoided the red and white objects that flew over, looking at Yang Junshan who had a serious expression. She had seen that Yang Junshan had not had any results, and wanted to help him take down the bandit village as soon as possible, but she did not expect that before she could even go forward, Fei Xiu, who was fighting with Yang Junshan, would easily kill him.
Was this fellow trying to stall for time?
Xiong Xiyi suspiciously glanced at the expressionless Yang Junshan, and suddenly turned his head, only to see a middle-aged woman who was gritting her teeth while sneakily rushing over from behind, her expression frozen for a moment, and then fresh blood gushed out from her mouth. The moment the corpse fell onto the ground, Xiong Xiyi saw that there wahree-year-old child on the woman’s back, but right now, both her and his mother’s breath had ceased due to the effects of the divine ability she had used.
Xiong Xiyi’s expression was startled, the red and white on her face flickered, then suddenly, she heard a few miserable cries, the voices were sharp and tender, it was obvious that they were women and children, she seemed to suddenly understand something, she suddenly turned to look, but Yang Junshan’s face was still expressionless, but at the center of the village, she already started to count the cultivation supplies scattered around the village.
“Ha, Little Yang, you’re really impatient. You’re already thinking of taking inventory of the benefits?”
Zhuang Guangyu walked out from the stronghold, his expression was extremely ugly. Previously, when he rushed into the stronghold, there were two blade wielding men that rushed towards him and used a technique to kill him, but they were only eight or nine years old children.
