Can You Really Not See?

Li Banfeng told Luo ZhengNan to go first, but Luo ZhengNan refused.

He didn't know what Li Qi had gone through, but the idea of revenge was brought up by Luo ZhengNan himself.

Now that Li Qi wants to eliminate the gang in Black Stone Slope, how can Luo ZhengNan let Li Qi fight alone?

"Seventh Master, you're insulting me. I may not be a good person, but I'm definitely not a coward. As long as you're here, I certainly can't leave."

Li Banfeng wasn't being polite to Luo ZhengNan; he was worried that Luo ZhengNan wouldn't be able to keep up.

Luo ZhengNan is first-rate in reconnaissance and judgment, but Li Banfeng does not yet know how good he is in combat.

Luo ZhengNan said he could fight too, and Li Banfeng didn't doubt that either, but the current situation couldn't be solved by fighting.

The Guanfang Envoy has interfered in Jiang Xiang Gang's affairs. Although Li Banfeng is not a native of Pro State and does not have a deep fear of the Guanfang Envoy, he still has to be prepared to maneuver and maneuver.

To put it bluntly, this battle requires the ability to fight and retreat at any time. House Cultivator excel at entering the battlefield, Travel Cultivator excel at withdrawing from the battlefield. Luo ZhengNan lacks this ability and will find it difficult to keep up with Li Banfeng's pace.

On this point, Luo ZhengNan also had a clear understanding of himself. "Seventh Master, I won't hold you back. Let's split up. I'll go gather information, and you can make your move when the time is right."

For the next day or two, please conserve your energy and try to avoid appearing in public.

Li Banfeng said, "You mean there won't be a suitable opportunity in the next day or two?"

Luo ZhengNan laughed and said, "Seventh Master, although the Jiang Xiang Gang is a second-rate gang, it has been around in the martial arts world for many years."

Judging from the heavily guarded posture of the temple, I estimate they can hold out for at least a day or two. It wouldn't be worth it for us to confront them head-on in that time.

"We'd better do what we did with Pei One-Bite: try not to act within his territory. Since they've started this Child Snatchers business, they'll definitely need to produce goods. Let me find out more information, then we'll see what the right opportunity is."

Luo ZhengNan is a smart man; he always knows what Li Banfeng needs most.

The two agreed to meet at noon the day after tomorrow. Li Banfeng found an inn, ate a Golden Essence Pill, which neutralized about 70-80% of the Pill Poison, and then went back to Portable Abode to rest.

With this Golden Essence Pill, staying in my Portable Abode for two or three days will not cause any major problems. I can take this opportunity to use the "Live and Work in Peace" technique to accumulate some good fortune.

I spent thirteen hours at Portable Abode before, and my luck improved slightly, which was very noticeable.

Jiang Xiang Gang's Black Stone Slope branch was very small. According to Li Banfeng's plan, they should have taken action immediately after getting off the bus. However, Luo ZhengNan noticed something unusual near the branch, which was where the fortune lay.

What kind of effect can we expect from staying for a day and a half this time?

After a day of waiting, the record player casually asked, "Hey husband, aren't you planning to go grocery shopping today?"

Li Banfeng stroked the megaphone and then sang. "Hey, my Wife, your husband stays at home, aren't you happy?"

The Wife replied, "Oh, my husband, Little Slave would be very happy if you stayed home to keep Little Slave. I'm just afraid that you would be too comfortable at home and neglect your great ambitions."

"Hey, my Wife, is buying groceries such a grand undertaking?" Li Banfeng scratched his Wife's armpit, Wife laughed so hard she trembled.

The two were singing and dancing together, which sounded very sweet, but Hong Ying felt something was off.

She has also worked as Home Spirit. What kind of Home Spirit drives the House Cultivator away?

What does Zhao Xiaowan mean by this?

Li Qi was also puzzled; it seemed he knew what Zhao Xiaowan was thinking.

After staying for another half day, Li Banfeng went out. Before leaving, the record player instructed him, "Judging from your complexion, my husband, you have a very good day. You can be more decisive in your actions."

Great fortune!

The 30-plus hours were worthwhile.

After leaving the house, Li Banfeng quickened his pace and soon found Luo ZhengNan.

Luo ZhengNan actually found out some information. "Seventh Master, I was investigating the Child Snatchers yesterday, but I didn't find anything. Then I changed my approach and found out some things."

Recently, there's been a Shadow Play in Black Stone Slope who sets off before dawn, heading to the distant suburbs, and returns at unpredictable times at night.

A friend of mine saw two fortune tellers near his place. Judging from their business practices, he knew they were from Jiang Xiang Gang and were probably doormen for the Shadow Play troupe.

Using Shadow Play to abduct children is a common tactic employed by Jiang Xiang Gang. Two hours ago, my friend brought news that the Shadow Play had fled to the West Suburbs.

Li Banfeng organized his thoughts and devised a plan. "I'll go to the West Suburbs to find this Shadow Play. You go to his place and check the situation. I suspect the children are hiding there."

"Just make sure you understand the situation clearly, and don't alert them. Let's find out the strength of both sides first, and then we'll wipe them out in one fell swoop."

Luo ZhengNan nodded repeatedly; Li Qi's thoughts were completely in line with his.

Clang, clang!

Willow Pond Village, in the West Suburbs.

A Pellet Drum sound reached the village entrance, and several children followed the sound.

They thought Peddler had come and wanted to buy a couple of pieces of candy, but when they got closer, they realized it was just a Shadow Play.

The Shadow Play was pushing a four-wheeled cart with a large wooden cabinet on it, which was even bigger than the Peddler's display case.

There were eight glass mirrors on the front and back of the cabinet, which were magnifying glasses. People would press their faces against the mirrors to look at the pictures inside the cabinet when watching foreign films.

What kinds of paintings are in the cabinet?

There are scenic spots and storybooks. The people who Shadow Play are all skilled storytellers. They pull the rope, beat the Pellet Drum, switch the pictures one by one in their hands, and tell the story one segment at a time in their mouths.

What's so interesting about this? Why not go to the city to see a movie?

It depends on the location. Willow Pond Village is in the far suburbs. A round trip to Black Stone City takes a whole day. The cheapest movie ticket costs three yuan. Including food and drinks, it would cost at least ten or eight yuan a day. Farmers are reluctant to spend that money.

Watching a foreign film only cost a dime, and the village kids especially loved it.

Five children pressed their faces against the glass mirror, watching intently as the Shadow Play slowly and deliberately told the story while striking Pellet Drum- drum.

Today's story is about Wu Song fighting the tiger. Wu Song had just drunk eighteen bowls of wine, and before he even reached Jingyang Ridge, the Shadow Play started chasing him away. "Alright, alright, that's enough for today, everyone go home."

The onlookers dispersed, but the five children watching the foreign films didn't leave.

Judging from their posture, these children haven't had enough of the sights; in fact, they're too tired to walk any further.

No one knows what they saw; the foreign films in this cabinet all carried the techniques of illusionary cultivation.

The Shadow Play puppeteer pushed his cart forward, and the five children followed behind.

When they reached a secluded spot, the Shadow Play opened the cabinet door, and the five children lined up and all went inside.

The Shadow Play closed the cabinet door, pushed his cart, and left Willow Pond Village.

Li Banfeng followed behind the man, preparing to make his move when they reached a suitable location.

Meanwhile, Luo ZhengNan had arrived at the residence of the Shadow Play, but found that there were no fortune tellers around.

Luo ZhengNan's mind raced, realizing that the situation was not good.

He sneaked into the courtyard and searched each of the three tiled houses, only to find that no one was inside.

Does this mean they've already shipped the goods?

If that's the case, the situation isn't too bad.

What really worried Luo ZhengNan was that the news might have leaked out, and the other party was on guard.

If that's the case, Li Banfeng be in danger.

Luo ZhengNan immediately left the courtyard, returned to his residence, took out the dial pad from the box, inserted it into his back, installed the antenna on the top of his head, and hurriedly sent a message to Li Banfeng.

Li Banfeng carried a Simple Phone with him. The telephone had no antenna, so he didn't know how good the signal was.

As it turned out, the signal was still good; the phone vibrated, but the message arrived a little late.

Li Banfeng has been ambushed.

He followed the Shadow Play, hoping to find a suitable opportunity to get some information out of Shadow Play.

But the Shadow Play was prepared; he lured Li Banfeng into an ambush.

Five people came out from around, and together with the Shadow Play, there were six of them in total, surrounding Li Banfeng.

One of the men, a middle-aged man in his fifties, wearing a suit and tie, asked Li Banfeng, "He Family?"

Li Banfeng didn't answer. He stared at the man and sized him up. The man's clothes were somewhat unusual.

In Pro State, many people wear suits, but their suits differ from authentic ones, featuring a fitted waist, long lapels, and short collars, giving them a strong Pro State style.

Li Banfeng was wearing a typical Pro State suit, but this middle-aged man was clearly wearing a formal suit, which is not very common in Pro State.

Seeing that Li Banfeng remained silent, the middle-aged man revealed his identity. "I am Commissioner of Guanfang Hall Guanfang Envoy Bureau. I am here on the orders of the Customs Guanfang Hall to ask you a few questions."

Don't worry, we will give you a chance to clarify the facts. We will not let a bad person get away with it, but we will never wrong an innocent person either.

Sure enough, this person was from Outer State.

Li Banfeng smiled and said, "You want me to clarify the facts? Aren't the facts right in front of you?"

The middle-aged man frowned slightly. "I don't know what facts you're referring to?"

Li Banfeng suddenly stepped on a pebble and smashed it, the shattering pebble and shattering the cart used for Shadow Play.

Five children sat in the cupboard. Under the influence of the Illusion Technique, they were in a state of severe dizziness. Coupled with the bumpy journey, they were all out of their minds, with blank faces and various kinds of vomit hanging from the corners of their mouths.

Li Banfeng pointed at the car and said, "Can't you see it?"

The middle-aged man was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I really couldn't see it. I only saw you attack an honest and law-abiding businessman just now."

Li Banfeng pointed at the person Shadow Play and asked, "You said he's an honest and upright businessman?"

The middle-aged man nodded. "I know who's honest and who's dishonest. You come with me to the Guanfang Hall right now, or I'll have to take drastic measures."

Li Banfeng remained silent, currently pondering a solution.

The people Shadow Play were from Jiang Xiang Gang, and their methods were extremely professional, needless to say.

The man in the suit is indeed from the Guanfang Hall; there's no doubt about that.

The four people beside him are his subordinates, and their cultivation levels are definitely not low, but how high can they be?

Li Banfeng did not sense any danger before entering the ambush, proving that these four people were able to conceal their malice.

Is it using the difference in cultivation level to mask malice?

Li Banfeng is a seventh-level Travel Cultivator. If he were to rely solely on the difference in cultivation level to conceal his malice, then the other party's cultivation level must have reached the Ninth Layer.

A cultivator at the Ninth Layer wouldn't be so condescending as to become someone else's henchman.

Therefore, they most likely used a magical artifact or Spiritual Object to conceal their malice.

Of course, this is just Li Banfeng's own speculation; perhaps these people are all tools specially trained by Outer State.

The wisest thing to do now is to run away immediately.

The enemy outnumbers them, making a direct confrontation too difficult. With the speed of a seventh-level Travel Cultivator, escaping would be much easier.

Judging from his attitude, he didn't seem worried at all that I would run away.

The four subordinates stood around the middle-aged man, and their attention was focused on him, not on me.

They didn't seem like thugs; they were more like bodyguards.

One of them had his hand in his pocket the whole time, as if he was about to operate some kind of mechanism.

If I choose to run away, will I fall into their trap?

What if I don't run away?

The moment the thought crossed his mind, a strong sense of danger filled his head.

This is a warning about the art of Auspiciousness and Avoiding Calamity and seeking good fortune; the opponent is quite strong, and rushing in will pose a great risk.

As his thoughts raced, Li Banfeng heard the middle-aged man's warning again. "I believe you've been misled by others, and I even believe this has nothing to do with you."

"Come with me. Once we get to the Guanfang Hall, everything will be cleared up. I promise you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Li Banfeng's figure suddenly blurred; he had used a stepping stone.

These four subordinates were experienced and quick-witted.

They noticed that Li Banfeng had used the "small steps" technique and realized that Li Banfeng was Travel Cultivator. Two of them stood in front of the middle-aged man, while the other stood behind him.

They stared at Li Banfeng, while simultaneously blocking Li Banfeng view of the middle-aged man, preventing him from taking Ride a Horse and Admire Flowers.

They knew the five levels of the Travel Cultivator's skill!

Another subordinate operated a mechanism in his pocket, and a halo of light appeared around him.

Boundary!

Li Banfeng recognizes this thing!

Meng Yuchun used a similar boundary line to fight against the Mountain Pulling Master. The Mountain Pulling Master crashed into the boundary line and almost lost half his life.

Fortunately, Li Banfeng did not choose to run away, otherwise he would have crashed into the boundary line and would have been seriously injured if not killed.

The four guards watched Li Banfeng intently, remaining still to see what action he would take.

These four people handled the situation very well, and going head-to-head with them would indeed involve enormous risks.

But Li Banfeng still charged straight at the middle-aged man.

This is a crazy move.

These four subordinates were indeed quite powerful, with two at the seventh level and two at the sixth level.

The instant Li Banfeng charged forward, they adjusted their positions, giving Li Banfeng almost no chance to make a move.

Boom!

A loud bang!

A cloud of dust rose from the ground.

The four subordinates, along with the middle-aged man, were thrown to the ground by the powerful shockwave. The force of this impact, which seemed to Trample Ten Thousand Rivers, instilled in them an indescribable fear.

What level of cultivation does this person possess?

Could it be the seventh level of the Travel Cultivator's Technique?

All four of his subordinates were injured. They immediately got up and surrounded Li Banfeng, but did not dare to make a move.

At that moment, Li Banfeng grabbed the middle-aged man's hair.

The middle-aged man, his face covered in blood and two front teeth missing, mumbled, "Young man, don't be impulsive. I admire your courage and your character."

The fact that you haven't killed me yet proves that you still want to negotiate with me, and I can give you that opportunity.

But this is your last chance. Let me go right now, and I can overlook what happened earlier!

"You've misunderstood. I didn't kill you. I have something to ask you," Li Banfeng said, pointing to the cart carrying the Shadow Play. He then asked the middle-aged man again, "Can't you really see these five children?"

The middle-aged man replied, "Why are you dwelling on this? What can I do if I can't see it? Is it that important? You hurt me; it's a devastating blow to you. Giving you a chance is an act of leniency..."

"If you can't see, what use are your eyes?" Li Banfeng raised his hand and gouged out the middle-aged man's eyes.
