Chapter 52 The Upheaval in Tianfeng City, the Black Mountain Bandits
Before we knew it, the weather had turned cold.
Winter has arrived, and the sky is filled with dark clouds.
It seems a snowstorm is about to arrive.
In the past few days, the situation in Tianfeng City has changed again.
People still go missing from time to time, but the entire city of Tianfeng has long been under martial law.
This has, to some extent, slowed down the frequency of missing persons.
However, even so, if the root cause of the problem is not addressed, issues will inevitably arise sooner or later.
On this day, the Pavilion Master of Feiyan Pavilion arrived at Qin Wu's courtyard, looking travel-worn.
Although Qin Wu did not join the Flying Swallow Pavilion.
However, because Qin Wu had already learned the White Ape Star-Picking Technique, the Flying Swallow Pavilion Master already regarded him as half a disciple of the Flying Swallow Pavilion.
The Pavilion Master of Feiyan Pavilion spoke:
"Recently, things have become increasingly strange. There seems to be a lot more conflict between the families. Just yesterday, the younger generations of the Xu and Zhao families suddenly started fighting, and I heard that many people died."
Today, both families have gathered their strongest members; it seems a large-scale internal conflict is imminent.
Qin Wu was somewhat surprised to hear this.
"What on earth happened that the two families are still fighting at a time like this?"
Logically speaking, the fact that these two families were able to gain a foothold in Tianfeng City is enough to prove that they are not fools.
Such a small matter could never have caused such a conflict between the two parties.
"I'm not sure."
The Pavilion Master of Feiyan Pavilion shook his head, then continued:
"I heard this isn't the first time they've had a conflict. Some time ago, they even got into a fight, but Baili Yufeng intervened and stopped them. So, there haven't been any conflicts between the two families recently."
But now that the conflict between the two sides has suddenly escalated, even if Baili Yufeng intervenes again, it will be useless.
He sighed.
Qin Wu's eyes flashed, and then he spoke:
"Senior, if I remember correctly, the conflict between the Tianyun Gang and the Zhang family a few days ago was also stopped by Senior Baili Yufeng, right?"
"Um?"
The Pavilion Master of Feiyan Pavilion was taken aback.
"What do you mean by that?"
Qin Wu's expression was slightly playful:
"That senior Baili Yufeng has resolved quite a few issues, but it seems that all the conflicts have suddenly erupted recently..."
"You suspect that something's wrong with Baili Yufeng?"
The Pavilion Master of Feiyan Pavilion spoke in a heavy voice, then firmly stated:
"That's absolutely impossible. Baili Yufeng's reputation is the result of decades of accumulation. He would never risk ruining his reputation by doing such a thing."
Moreover, he was the strongest person in Tianfeng City; he had absolutely no reason to do such a thing.
"That's not necessarily true..."
Qin Wu shook his head, but did not continue to explain.
Because he knew that no matter how much he explained, it would be meaningless in the face of Baili Yufeng's decades of accumulated prestige.
"Don't speak recklessly about this matter. I've come here to tell you that the Black Mountain Bandits have recently been appearing in my Tianfeng City."
This group committed all sorts of evil deeds, and among them were more than one expert at the Meridian Opening Realm. Wherever they went, nothing could grow.
Tianfeng City is planning to issue a kill order against the Black Mountain Bandits; perhaps we'll need your help someday.
Qin Wu nodded.
He had also heard of the Black Mountain bandits.
Those members of the Blood Fiend Alliance were all masters of evil arts.
But even they were no match for the Black Mountain bandits in terms of cruelty.
This is a group of extremely wicked people.
After finishing his business, the Pavilion Master of Feiyan Pavilion turned and left, but his expression became very solemn.
Even though he trusted Baili Yufeng a lot.
But Qin Wu's words were still etched into his mind.
As night fell, the sky was covered with dark clouds, making it so dark that one could not see their own hand in front of their face.
Outside the city, a group of hooded men galloped into a valley.
Upon arriving at their destination, the leader dismounted and removed his hood.
This person was none other than Wang Guiyuan of the Wang family.
He led a group of Wang family disciples into the valley.
Before long, a campfire ahead caught his attention.
"Gentlemen, I've been looking for you everywhere."
Wang Guiyuan began to speak.
Upon hearing this, the many people gathered around the campfire turned to look at them.
These people had cold expressions, and the moment they saw them, they placed their hands on their weapons.
They were all clearly seasoned veterans.
Then, the Black Mountain bandit leader, sitting in the very center of the campfire, spoke:
"It's quite unexpected that your Wang family would come after my Black Mountain Bandits."
"I need you to help me kill someone."
Wang Guiyuan spoke coldly, saying:
"A young man with profound inner strength, named Qin Wu."
"Qi nourishing the lungs and internal organs?"
The Black Mountain bandit leader looked at him suspiciously and said:
"This kind of strength, you think your Wang family can't handle it?"
"Of course we can handle him, but we promised Baili Yufeng, so it's not a good time to make a move against him right now."
Upon hearing the name Baili Yufeng, the leader of the Black Mountain bandits' brow twitched slightly.
Then he suddenly grinned and said:
"No problem. As long as the reward is enough, I can get you the head of a Qi Condensation Realm cultivator, let alone a Qi Refining Realm cultivator."
After saying that, Wang Guiyuan led his men away under the cover of night. He didn't want to have too much contact with this infamous Black Mountain bandit gang.
"Boss, should we really help him?"
As Wang Guiyuan left, one of his subordinates looked at their leader.
The Black Mountain bandit leader's lips curled into a mocking smile as he said:
"Why not? Even though we don't know who Qin Wu is, there's no harm in killing him."
As he spoke, he looked at the crowd and said:
"We are different now than before. In three months at most, everything will be over. You should hurry up and improve your strength, or you may become pawns."
"yes!"
The Black Mountain bandits tensed up and quickly answered.
After speaking, the leader of the Black Mountain bandits looked in the direction where Wang Guiyuan and the others had left.
He uttered two words.
"idiot."
How could a mere Qin Wu possibly be the target of the Black Mountain bandits?
They brought a great gift to the Wang family during their visit to Tianfeng City.
Qin Wu was unaware of all of this.
He simply absorbed all the knowledge about the Mountain-Shaking Palm technique greedily.
For him, the White Ape Star-Picking Technique had reached perfection, and the ape soul had been completely integrated.
It's unrealistic to expect to improve White Ape Star-Picking in a short period of time.
The benefits that the Mountain-Shaking Palm brought to him were undeniable.
After this period of cultivation, he has fused with a considerable amount of bear spirit.
This resulted in a huge increase in his own strength. Now, even without activating the Tiger Fiend Technique, he is confident that he can fight against a martial artist in the Meridian Opening Realm, or even kill him.
Just as he was walking down the street, a woman in a purple gauze dress suddenly tripped and bumped into him with a cry of "Ouch!"
Qin Wu helped him up.
The woman looked up at Qin Wu, her eyes unfocused.
"Young master, thank you. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have fallen."
