Heard Someone Was Looking for Me?

Black Tiger Stockade is a well-known bandit group around Quhe Town, but it's just that, a bandit group.

Normally, Black Tiger Stockade bullies the weak and fears the strong, so they haven't provoked any tough opponents, nor have any righteous young heroes come to exterminate them, which is how they've survived.

However, a few days ago, Black Tiger Stockade provoked a powerful family in Quhe Town, the Sun Family, and their young lady was kidnapped by the stockade.

Nowadays, any woman kidnapped by a bandit group, regardless of whether the stockade did anything to them, will have their reputation ruined. No family will want a woman who has been kidnapped by bandits.

The Sun Family was naturally furious and offered a heavy reward to recruit Martial Artists to exterminate Black Tiger Stockade.

They even issued a commission to the renowned Zhenyuan Escort Agency.

This was enough to show the Sun Family's determination for revenge.

On this day, the Sun Family mansion was bustling with activity, with countless assisting Martial Artists entering the grounds.

Black Tiger Stockade was not weak; their seven leaders were all at the Late Qi and Blood Stage, with the Great Leader even reaching the Great Perfection of Qi and Blood, ready to knock on the door of Hua Jin at any moment. There were also quite a few other Qi and Blood Martial Artists.

However, breaking through to Hua Jin was extremely perilous. Failure meant the Qi and Blood would leak out, leading to severe damage to cultivation at best, and death on the spot at worst.

Even so, the Great Leader of Black Tiger Stockade was significantly stronger than an ordinary Late Qi and Blood Stage cultivator.

In Quhe Town, there were only two old instructors at the Late Qi and Blood Stage. Their Qi and Blood were declining, and even with their extensive combat experience, they were no match for the three stockade leaders.

Besides them, all the other families combined could only muster three or four Late Qi and Blood Stage Martial Artists, which was no match for Black Tiger Stockade, let alone the fact that not the entire town was willing to help the Sun Family.

In the Hundred Cities Domain, the large cities were the centers of the human race. Haiyuan City alone was as large as a thousand Quhe Towns. The Hua Jin experts who emerged from the subordinate towns and villages had all gone to the cities to make a living.

The gap between the cities and the towns was too vast.

This was also the reason for the weakness of the towns and villages.

In the Sun Family courtyard, several tables of food were laid out, with numerous Martial Artists drinking heartily, eating meat, and chatting boastfully.

"Everyone!" A voice, not loud but full of energy, rang out, and the Martial Artists in the courtyard fell silent.

"This operation to attack the stockade will be entrusted to all of you! This old man thanks you all in advance! There will be generous rewards afterward!"

The head of the Sun Family, over sixty years old, was not highly cultivated, and his Qi and Blood had long since declined. He trembled as he cupped his fists to the Martial Artists in the courtyard. With a wave of his hand, Sun Family servants immediately brought out three or four chests.

As they were opened, the sight of gleaming silver made the Martial Artists' eyes gleam with greed.

"Old Master Sun, rest assured! With us, the Three Brothers of Hanshan, around, those bandits are nothing but sitting ducks."

"Just some rogue cultivators who found some random techniques. My senior brother can take on three of you!"

"You brat!"

There were six people seated below the Sun Family head. Three were the so-called Three Brothers of Hanshan. They had found martial arts somewhere years ago and, through their own study, had all become Late Qi and Blood Stage Martial Artists. However, being rogue cultivators and habitually bullying the weak and fearing the strong, their strength was not great.

Among the other three, one was Wang Jie, the most proud disciple of Old Instructor Li in town. Another was a Late Qi and Blood Stage guard heavily funded by the Sun Family. The last was Old Instructor Huang from the town.

Old Master Sun ignored their bickering and looked at the crowd of Martial Artists, nodding with satisfaction. A look of hatred flashed deep in his eyes, and the grip on his cane tightened.

That was his most beloved granddaughter; how could they do this to her!

Now, with these six Martial Artists, plus two Qi and Blood Martial Artists sent by other families in town, and one Late Qi and Blood Stage escort from the Zhenyuan Escort Agency!

A total of nine Late Qi and Blood Stage experts. How could Black Tiger Stockade resist?

Old Master Sun forced a smile onto his face and said, "When the young hero from the Zhenyuan Escort Agency arrives, we will depart immediately! Black Tiger Stockade has plagued the region for too long; today is their day of reckoning!"

"Someone from the Zhenyuan Escort Agency? Hmph, I'd like to see them!" Wang Jie's face showed pride. He didn't believe he was weaker than Late Qi and Blood Stage cultivators from top factions.

His master had told him that he was the most suitable person to inherit their cultivation method in the past few hundred years.

"Hahaha, in my opinion! We don't even need to wait for that young hero from the Zhenyuan Escort Agency. My senior brother can hold off that Black-Hearted Tiger!" The person next to Wang Jie was Wang Jie's junior brother, with Mid Qi and Blood Stage cultivation. He was the one arguing with the Three Brothers of Hanshan earlier. His name was Qian San.

"Hmph, a frog in a well! Those who haven't been to the city have no idea of the difference between city dwellers and country folk!"

The eldest of the Three Brothers of Hanshan said disdainfully.

"What right do you have to judge us! You're just three rogue cultivators!" Wang Jie's face showed a hint of anger.

"Senior Brother, later when we take action, we'll need to decide who takes the lead. Why don't we have a spar now, and the winner will be in charge!" Qian San said from the side.

The others remained silent, observing the confrontation between Wang Jie's faction and the Three Brothers of Hanshan.

Old Master Sun's face stiffened, and he quickly tried to mediate, "Alright, alright, all you heroes, stop arguing. After we've dealt with Black Tiger Stockade, we can then compete for first and second place."

"After we defeat Black Tiger Stockade, I will dig out that Black-Hearted Tiger's liver and soak it in wine! Then I'll treat everyone to a drink! Hahaha." As Old Master Sun spoke, his kindly face suddenly turned ferocious.

He didn't realize he had spoken his inner thoughts aloud.

"Yes! Sun Yinyin is my plaything. I spent two years training this plaything, and now someone else has taken her. Even though she's just a plaything, this revenge must be taken! I will cut off their... to soak in wine, hahaha, then my abilities will reach another level!" The Sun Family's Late Qi and Blood Stage guard's face began to contort strangely. He muttered in a low voice, but everyone could hear him clearly.

"What!" Old Master Sun's expression changed, becoming even more ferocious. He roared, "That is my most beloved granddaughter! Who took you in, you surnamed Bai! To make you successful!"

"Hahahaha, you're killing me, truly! Do you think I don't know you killed my parents back then? I've been slaving away for the killer of my parents! But I'm not at a loss, your granddaughter is truly... juicy!" The guard surnamed Bai's face crumbled, and he roared with manic laughter.

"I've been sick of you for a long time! Why did you get Senior Sister!" a burly man suddenly roared.

"Hahaha, Senior Brother, I've had my eye on you for a long time. Marry me!" a burly man laughed maniacally.

"Die, I've tolerated you for a long time!" another person's face contorted with rage.

"Die!"

"Hahaha!"

"Bang!"

"Riiip!"

Suddenly, all the Martial Artists in the courtyard began to riot. The harmonious atmosphere from before was gone. All the banquet tables were instantly overturned, and the food and drinks were scattered across the ground, trampled without mercy.

Everything happened too suddenly, yet the people in the courtyard hadn't noticed anything unusual.

Some ignored the fighting around them, focusing solely on the food and drinks. However, even though the food and drinks were already on the ground, these people still ate like pigs and dogs, hunched over.

On the other side, Old Instructor Huang was stunned by the behavior of those around him, a strange look on his face. His expression then stiffened, turning greedy as he looked at the three chests brought out by Old Master Sun.

"Treasures! With these riches! My Huang Martial Arts School can rise again, and that old geezer surnamed Li won't be able to suppress me anymore!" As he spoke, Old Instructor Huang reached out towards the three chests.

But he wasn't the only one lunging for the chests. They instantly began fighting each other with bloodshot eyes.

Meanwhile, the Three Brothers of Hanshan showed no reaction to Wang Jie's provocation.

Wang Jie casually killed a Martial Artist who tried to sneak attack him. Facing the abnormal events happening around him, Wang Jie acted as if nothing had occurred. He arrogantly looked at the Three Brothers of Hanshan.

Qian San, standing nearby, kept sneering, but the jealousy in his eyes as he looked at Wang Jie was overflowing.

Wang Jie arrogantly said, "What are you three good-for-nothings? Even that kid from the Zhenyuan Escort Agency would have to grovel before me!"

"Hahaha! With my senior brother here! Why don't you all quickly kneel and worship!" Qian San added with a laugh.

"You guys?" The Three Brothers of Hanshan, facing the chaotic scene around them, reacted slowly. They looked around in confusion, but had no response.

"Three wastes, why are you speechless?"

"I heard someone was looking for me?" At this moment, a clear, cold, and emotionless voice rang out.
