North Mountain Pharmacy.
At this moment, the Round-Faced Shopkeeper paced back and forth in the hall, looking extremely agitated, his face grim. "Damn it! Why haven't these three returned yet! Could they have embezzled my century-old Snow Ginseng?!"
"No! That can't be! The three of them have helped me with a lot of things like this, there's no reason for them to embezzle now, plus I have dirt on them! They wouldn't run away!"
The Round-Faced Shopkeeper's expression suddenly changed. "Oh no! Could it be that the three of them have already been killed by that kid?!"
Then, the Round-Faced Shopkeeper shouted, "Someone come here!!"
The Round-Faced Shopkeeper's voice echoed throughout the entire hall, yet no one came to greet him.
The Round-Faced Shopkeeper's face darkened upon seeing this. "What are these idiots doing! Why isn't anyone here yet!"
Suddenly, the Round-Faced Shopkeeper felt a chill run down his spine, and cold sweat slowly trickled down his forehead. "Something's not right! This has never happened before!!"
The Round-Faced Shopkeeper suddenly rushed out of the hall, and the horrific scene before him immediately filled his eyes. His pupils contracted sharply. "What... what happened?! How could everyone be dead?! And I didn't notice a thing!"
At this moment, the area outside the hall was littered with corpses, each one dying with their eyes wide open, their throats slit open and slowly bleeding to death!
The Round-Faced Shopkeeper was so frightened by the scene that he turned pale and collapsed to the ground, a foul-smelling yellow liquid slowly flowing out. He scrambled to the main hall.
"Help... help me! Please, someone help me!"
Killer Bee watched the disheveled fat man from afar with a mocking smile, feeling extremely sarcastic. Then, with a flash, he slowly stepped into the hall, looking at the fat man with a cold expression.
Upon seeing a woman approach, the fat man was overjoyed. "Heroine! Quick! Save me! I have plenty of money, I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"
Upon hearing this, the Killer Bee sneered, "How foolish! They can't even distinguish friend from foe! They deserve to die!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Killer Bee darted forward and instantly appeared beside the Round-Faced Shopkeeper, slamming his palm down directly onto the top of his head.
Before the Round-Faced Shopkeeper's horrified eyes, he smashed the top of the man's head, and blood immediately stained his entire fat face as he slowly collapsed to the ground.
With a face full of resentment, it glared at the Killer Bee before dying, "You... you'll die a horrible death!!"
The Killer Bee, upon hearing this, looked at him with sarcasm, "Are you talking about yourself?"
Then, the Killer Bee began rummaging through the fat man's body, finding 300,000 taels of silver on him. Its expression showed slight surprise, "This fat man is really rich. Seeing this place, he must have other places where he keeps his valuables!"
The Killer Bee slowly began searching the entire North Mountain Pharmacy...
One hour later.
The Killer Bee finally found a million silver notes and several top-quality century-old Snow Ginseng in a hidden secret room. "Phew~ It was really well hidden! I almost couldn't find this secret room!"
Seeing this Killer Bee smiled slightly, "It's time to go back and report!"
Then, without saying a word, Killer Bee left. She was deep in thought, thinking, "Now that we have so much money, we might be able to build a force. With Li Changfeng's strength, he is fully capable of developing it."
"Li Changfeng may seem cold, but he is extremely loyal. The fact that he spent so much money to save Blackheart proves it all! With him around, I have a good chance of dealing with the people I need to deal with in the future. As long as I work hard for him, I believe he will help me in return!"
With a resolute expression, Killer Bee took a sudden step, transforming into a purple afterimage that vanished into the distance.
Inn.
Just then, as Killer Bee stepped into the inn, Li Changfeng immediately noticed him and chuckled, "Ziyi, you're pretty quick! I didn't expect you to be back so soon. How did things go?"
Upon hearing this, Killer Bee smiled slightly and handed Li Changfeng the silver notes and five boxes containing century-old Snow Ginseng. "Reporting to my lord! The matter is settled! We found 1.3 million taels of silver and five top-quality century-old Snow Ginseng roots inside!"
Li Changfeng was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, thinking to himself, "This femme fatale was so unruly before, how come she has changed so much now and suddenly become so obedient? It's really strange!"
Li Changfeng slowly unloaded the items, a smile spreading across his face. "Ziyi! You did a fantastic job! Here's 100,000 taels as a reward!"
After receiving the silver note, Killer Bee was overjoyed. "Thank you for your generous gift, sir! Now that you have so much money, have you ever thought about creating a powerful force?"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng pondered deeply, thinking to himself, "This is indeed a good idea! Although Medicine God Valley said they would help me become stronger, it's just a transaction for me. After all, they're a sect that's been operating for so many years; they can't just let me do it whenever they want. There will definitely be some obstacles!"
Li Changfeng slowly said, "Do you... have any suggestions?"
Upon hearing this, a flash of joy crossed Ziyi's face, and she quickly said, "Now that I have eliminated the North Mountain Pharmacy in Northern Di City, and there are no particularly powerful forces around here, we can totally set up a gang or sect here. With the resources of Beishan, we can certainly develop it!"
Li Changfeng frowned upon hearing this. "I don't really like sects and gangs! There are too many rules and regulations in these things, and I don't want to be bound by them. How about this? Let's establish an organization first, and then talk about other things when it becomes large enough!"
Ziyi nodded upon hearing this, "Indeed! There are only a few of us right now, so it's a bit of a stretch to establish a gang or sect. It would be good to establish an organization first and develop it. So, what kind of name does the master plan to give the organization?"
After a moment's thought, Li Changfeng smiled and said, "Hidden Dragon of Cold Mountain! What do you think of that name?"
Upon hearing this, Ziyi's eyes lit up, and she gave Li Changfeng a deep look. "My lord! This name is excellent! It has a wonderful meaning!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng chuckled lightly, "Ziyi! Go and call the others over!"
Upon hearing this, Ziyi nodded, then vanished in a flash.
A moment later.
The group entered Li Changfeng's bedroom, where Ziyi slowly explained the situation to them. They were all surprised, but then became very excited. "My lord! This is wonderful news! We will certainly serve you to the death!"
Li Changfeng smiled slightly upon hearing this, "Alright! I understand your intentions. From now on, don't call me 'sir' anymore!"
"So what should we call you? We can't just call you by your name!"
After a moment of contemplation, Li Changfeng suddenly had an idea and said with a faint smile, "Let's each choose a code name! We can refer to each other like that from now on. After all, this organization hasn't grown too big yet, so it's better to stay secretive!"
Upon hearing this, everyone slowly nodded. "So, what's your code name, sir?"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng chuckled lightly, "Hidden Dragon!"
