Successful Retreat, Great Harvest

After searching for a while, Su Chen looked a little disappointed. Apart from a dozen or so silver notes, he didn't find the other party's martial arts.

To be honest, he was quite envious of the Third Head's martial arts.

After all, this was the first Practice Force Warrior he had encountered, and the value of the martial arts on his body was self-evident.

Unwilling, he wanted to search again. This time, he stripped the body completely naked, but still found nothing.

Su Chen gave up, got up, and under the awe-struck gazes of the crowd, came to the group of bandits.

"Hand over the money on you, and I'll let you go."

Su Chen said lightly, wanting to make up for the loss of not finding the martial arts from these people.

When the bandits heard that they could survive, although unwilling, they still painfully handed over the money from their bodies.

Su Chen collected another few dozen taels in a scattered manner, put them in his arms, and ignored everyone's gazes, putting away the Third Head's broken saber.

Just as he was about to leave, a bandit weakly said, "Didn't you say you would let us go?"

Hearing this, Su Chen turned his head and glanced at him, leaving a sentence: "I let you go, now it's them who won't let you go."

The bandits: "..."

Watching Su Chen leave, Yan Que immediately said, "Thank you for your help. I am Yan Que from the Broken Saber Sect. If you need anything, you can go to the Broken Saber Sect to find me..."

After speaking, Yan Que turned his gaze to the group of bandits.

"Don't, don't kill us."

The bandits wanted to cry but had no tears. They had just left the wolf's den, and now they had entered the tiger's den.

No, they had always been in the wolf's den and tiger's den.

"Where are our goods and people?" Yan Que asked in a deep voice.

"In the mountains and forests, we can take you there, as long as you let us go," one of the bandits said.

Yan Que didn't speak, but instead had everyone start counting the number of people.

"By the way, where is Junior Brother Su Chen?"

Suddenly, Fang Rou exclaimed, a little nervous, but soon, she saw Su Chen in the crowd and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

It was good that Su Chen was okay, otherwise she wouldn't be able to explain it to Master Hong.

Soon, the headcount was completed. Apart from a few Fang Family guards who were injured, the rest were almost unharmed.

These bandits, apart from the leader, the Third Head, were inferior to the Fang Family in terms of numbers and strength, so naturally they could not bring them much loss.

Afterwards, under the leadership of the bandits, Yan Que and others quickly found those who had been kidnapped from the Fang Family, as well as a batch of goods.

In addition, Yan Que learned from these bandits.

Originally, they planned to pay money to redeem the people, but the Third Head insisted on extorting another sum, so the previous incident happened.

"Master Yan, how should we deal with this group of people?"

After rescuing the Fang Family caravan, an accompanying warrior looked at the group of bandits and asked.

Hearing this, all the bandits tensed up and hurriedly knelt on the ground begging for mercy, with all sorts of reasons.

However, Yan Que remained unmoved. With his order, the lives of the bandits came to an end.

He didn't think that Lianyun Stronghold would let them off just because a Third Head had died.

Since they had formed a deadly feud with Lianyun Stronghold, there was no need to keep this group of people around.

In the end, Yan Que personally took action, killing these bandits one by one.

Because they were worried that the people from Lianyun Stronghold would get the news, Yan Que and the others left immediately after dealing with the bandits.

Not long after Su Chen and the others left, deep within Lianyun Mountain, in a stronghold.

"Report, Second Head, something bad has happened!"

A burly man who was training bandits on the open ground roared when he saw the man running over in a panic, "What are you shouting about? Can't you see I'm training?"

With that, he rushed over and slapped the man, making him dizzy and sit down on the ground.

After a long while, the burly man asked in a deep voice, "Speak, what is it!"

The man came back to his senses, covered his cheek, and his expression suddenly became flustered: "Something bad has happened, the Third Head has been killed!"

"What did you say?" The burly man grabbed the other party's collar, his tiger eyes filled with baleful aura.

"Yes, it's true, the Third Head's body is at the entrance of the stronghold." The man gasped.

Hearing this, the burly man didn't bother to get angry and went straight to the entrance of the stronghold.

As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the stronghold, he saw a thin man. He stepped forward and asked, "Big Brother, Third Brother, he?"

The First Head didn't speak, but looked at the body covered with white cloth. Seeing this, the Second Head's heart skipped a beat.

He walked over, lifted the white cloth, and his eyes immediately widened in anger: "Third Brother!"

Then, with bloodshot eyes, he asked, "Big Brother, who did this? The Fang Family? Was it the Fang Family?"

Hearing this, the grief and indignation on the First Head's face completely transformed into towering anger:

"Fang Family, Fang Youwei, you killed my Third Brother and humiliated him like this. The day my Lianyun Stronghold breaks the city will be the day the Fang Family is exterminated!"

In the evening, as the brilliant xiaguang spread across the earth, the figures of Yan Que and the others appeared outside White Stone City.

After leaving Lianyun Mountain, everyone didn't dare to delay for even a moment, hurrying on their horses, and finally returned to White Stone City before dark.

Everyone's hearts finally relaxed, with joy of surviving a disaster on their faces. After paying the city entrance fee, everyone entered the city.

"Master Yan, Miss Fang, we won't follow you any further." Someone said goodbye.

Yan Que nodded: "Thank you for your hard work!"

The warriors cupped their fists in response one by one, and parted ways with Yan Que and the others.

"Junior Brother Su, take care!"

Fang Rou bid farewell to Su Chen. Yan Que, who was beside her, noticed this, his eyes flickered slightly, but he didn't say anything.

Soon, everyone else left, leaving only the Fang Family members.

Yan Que looked at Fang Rou and smiled, "Let's go, let's go back too."

Fang Rou nodded.

The group returned to the Fang Family, and when Yan Que told Fang Youwei about his experience at Lianyun Mountain, Fang Youwei was almost scared out of his wits.

Fortunately, Yan Que and Fang Rou returned safely, which put his mind at ease.

"Brother-in-law, thanks to you this time, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable." Fang Youwei said gratefully.

Yan Que waved his hand after hearing this, "We are all family, brother, you don't need to be so polite. Moreover, this time, it was thanks to that One-Armed warrior."

"This person can actually kill a Practice Force Warrior, his strength should not be underestimated. Logically speaking, he shouldn't be an unknown person. Could it be that he is not from White Stone City?"

Fang Youwei basically knew all the Practice Force Warriors near White Stone City, but he had never heard of a One-Armed warrior.

"No." Yan Que shook his head, "This person should be from White Stone City."

"Why do you say that?"

"I heard the yamen runners mention before that there was a One-Armed man who brought the head of wanted criminal Liu Tong..."

After parting ways with Fang Rou and the others, Su Chen did not immediately go home.

Instead, he went to the Money Shop and exchanged the silver he had obtained for gold before returning.

By the time he returned home, it was completely dark. He entered his room and placed his gains from this trip on the table.

A broken long saber, ten taels of gold, and sixty taels of silver.

As he looked at them, suddenly, Su Chen's body trembled, a flush of blood surged onto his cheeks, and he covered his chest, coughing lightly several times.

"I wonder if the ultimate Turtle Shell Skill can eliminate the injuries caused by the remaining force in my body!"
