The sky was gray and the forest was filled with morning fog. A trace of light shone through the fog, but it was still very dark.
The First Phoenix was woken up by a series of whispers. When she learned that a guard had sounded the alarm and said that there were spies around, her confused mind immediately cleared up.
"Swoosh!"
The First Phoenix jumped up from the ground and ran to the stream to clean her face.
After stuffing the soft pastry into his mouth, First Phoenix moved closer to Old Yellow and rubbed his shoulder against Old Yellow, who was sipping the wine with his eyes narrowed. He mumbled,""Tell me, Old Huang, what happened?”
"Young Master, it seems like the bandits sent someone to keep watch. Didn't we kill a bandit leader yesterday? I think these people are here to seek revenge.”
"In other words, these are still robberies?”
The First Phoenix's eyes sparkled, and she was a little uncertain.
"Most likely, these little thieves are obviously up to no good. They're probably here for our horses.”
Old Yellow glanced at the First Phoenix, whose eyes were darting around. He could tell what the First Phoenix was up to.
After thinking for a moment, he still opened his mouth to advise," Young Master, there are some things that you might not know. Many of the Path-Cutting Bandits within hundreds of miles are secretly raised by some local forces, and there might be some supernatural beings behind them. Now that we're in the south, which is too far away from Liberty City, if we really involve some old monsters who have lived for countless years, even water from afar will not be able to quench our thirst. With just these guards, we won't even have a place to cry. We'll all be finished."”
"Then…what do you mean?" The first phoenix rubbed its chin and glanced at Old Yellow.
"Young Master, I think we shouldn't be too ostentatious. Just a little lesson is enough. If we lose too many people and cause them to suffer severe injuries, they will most likely become angry out of humiliation and use their family's power to take revenge. This is not in line with our original intention, and…it will delay our schedule north!”
Old Huang emphasized his last sentence. The First Phoenix had not been too concerned about it at first, but after hearing this, she could not help but frown. After thinking about it for a moment, she nodded unwillingly and left.
Wang Deye stopped First Phoenix halfway and respectfully led him to the side to report the situation.
Ever since he found out that this smiling and kind young man was more skilled than him, he did not dare to neglect him at all. He also valued his personal safety more than his own life.
After all, a person with such talent would definitely be the focus of training in the Fang family. If anything happened to him, there would only be one outcome for him.
This outcome would definitely not be any better.
" Young Master, we've been targeted, and I estimate that the other party's strength is definitely much stronger than the bandits we encountered yesterday. My suggestion is to try not to have any conflict with them. It's best if we can resolve the problem peacefully. Of course, if the other party insists on not letting go, I'll definitely kill a bloody path for Young Master…"
Wang Deye's mood was somewhat heavy. The other party was coming at him menacingly. He was afraid that this hot-blooded young master of the Fang family would choose to fight head-on with the other party.
From the way the young man's eyes had always lit up when he heard of bandits, this situation was very likely to happen.
"Yes, I know. You can make your own decisions.”
The First Phoenix's expression was calm. She was neither anxious nor excited. Her tone was calm, which was very different from her usual state. Wang Deye was puzzled.
"When did this old man change his personality? It really shouldn't be.”
………………
On Liberty Island, in a luxurious and majestic building by the forest, a man whose actual age could not be seen was having breakfast. His expression was gentle and casual.
A young woman in black stood by the man's side and reported the whereabouts of the First Phoenix and the others.
"Island Master, the day before yesterday, Young Master Feng disguised himself as Fang Ying, the third generation descendant of the Fang Clan in Feng Province. He was heading to the Green Mountain Link with thirty members of the Fang Clan. By now, he is estimated to have entered the territory of the Bai Ting Mountain.”
"A subordinate force of the Lin family in Qingyang County, Yangzhou?”
" Island Master, it's the Lin Family. The Mountain Master of the Bai Ting Mountain, Yuan Feiting, is a second-class Honored Guest of the Lin Family, a Fifth Stage Realm cultivator. Ten years ago, he entered Green Mountain and established the mountain of the Bai Ting Mountain. With the secret support of the Lin Family, he quickly cleaned up and consolidated more than ten mountains of different sizes and gathered more than four hundred brothers. Among the many mountains connected to Green Mountain, the overall strength of the Bai Ting Mountain can be ranked fourth.”
Tyranny responded indifferently, picked up a handkerchief, and wiped the corner of his mouth, which had no rice stains. He then slowly got up and walked out of the room.
Looking at the bright sun, a smile appeared on his face as he murmured,""Fang Clan? This little fellow is really…"
……
The morning fog gradually dissipated. The First Phoenix and the others were ready to go. After packing up, they rode away.
The First Phoenix sat on the horizontal bar at the edge of the carriage and whispered into Old Yellow's ear,""Old Yellow, how many people do you think will be lying in ambush in front this time?”
"Young Master, I can't guess, but thinking about it, there should be at least two or three hundred people compared to yesterday.”
"Three hundred people, isn't that ten times our number? Do you really think that I'm easy to bully and can be manipulated at will?”
First Phoenix was a little angry. This was too much of a bully!
"Didn't we just kill a bandit leader? Is there a need to call hundreds of minions to surround us? If I wasn't in a hurry, I would have taught you a lesson. You're too infuriating!”
" Young Master, these people are all outlaws. Now that there are more than thirty good horses crossing the border, how could they not kill them? I reckon that when we go north this time, there won't be a small group of thieves. Once they appear, they will be a large group of bandits with the support of a big family. In the future, there will be trouble..."
"Then what should we do? Even if he couldn't fight, would it be endless if he didn't fight?”
The First Phoenix was depressed. He didn't have a good impression of the guy who delayed his return home to see his mother.
He felt that it was because he did not bring enough dogs with him.
"If there is a large group of fierce and wild cavalry behind us, let's see if they still dare to block the way.”
"Young Master, there's no need to be so worried. As long as we reveal our identities, the Fang family's flag is still powerful enough!”
Old Yellow saw the First Phoenix's frustrated expression and secretly laughed. He then straightened his expression and comforted her, his tone revealing a hint of dominance.
"Hmm? I hope so, otherwise…"
The corners of the First Phoenix's mouth twitched, and a cold glint flashed across her eyes.
…………………
"Reporting to Mountain Chieftain, the fat sheep has entered the mountain ridge of the Beiting Mountain. Chief Wang has already led his men to lie in ambush on both sides.”
A small leader knelt down on one knee and reported to Yuan Feiting respectfully with cupped fists.
"Oh? He probed again! Tell Chief Wang to wait for this group of people to enter the ambush zone. Don't be in a hurry to make a move. I'm going to meet them.”
Yuan Feiting spoke indifferently, as if the First Phoenix and the others were just a bunch of fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered. His tone was filled with contempt and coldness.
"Understood!" The leader cupped his fists and left.
After he left, the contempt and disdain on Yuan Feiting's face gradually disappeared. Instead, it was filled with doubt and worry.
Ever since he had been ordered to come to Green Mountain to build his business, he had been running the business carefully. He had done his best in all trivial matters. With his calm and composed personality, he had easily cleared away the annoying people around him.
Now, Bai Ting Mountain was the leader of all the mountains within a hundred miles. No one dared to provoke him.
He was not satisfied with the grand scene where all the bandits submitted to him. Instead, he was even more cautious and meticulous.
He would never cross the line to slap the face of a faction he could not afford to offend. Instead, he would be very willing to smile and flatter them.
Relying on this cautious and tactful temperament, he had managed to survive until today and become the undisputed overlord of the Hundred Miles Mountain Range, the Mountain Chieftain of Bai Ting Mountain!
Because he understood a very simple truth: Only by living would one have the life to enjoy and be carefree!
He was actually very reluctant to do this troublesome thing that he had encountered today.
He had already shown his strength. Even a fool knew that the power behind him was not simple, and you still had the cheek to go up and ask for trouble?
However, he had no choice. This was related to the prestige of the Bai Ting Mountain and his prestige in the hundreds of miles of Green Mountain. He had to make some arrangements.
Even if it was just a formality.
It was much better than him doing nothing and letting others criticize him behind his back.
As the incident approached, he suddenly felt uneasy. This feeling was very magical. With this feeling, he had saved himself from danger many times and found a chance of survival in desperate situations.
He trusted his own feelings and knew that he had probably encountered a tough opponent again.
" Since they are no match for others, for the sake of their own lives, they can only solve the problem in a gentle way. As long as they reveal their names and backgrounds, I will flatter them. By then, both parties will be proud and happy. It might be a good story if it gets out!”
Everything was good!
Yuan Feiting was thinking about a small plan in his heart. He listened to his subordinates report that the cavalry was gradually approaching. He straightened his clothes and walked down the mountain from the hidden rock.
The distance between the two sides gradually shortened. Yuan Feiting waited quietly in the middle of the official road. The sound of horse hooves intensified until the two sides met each other's eyes.
The First Phoenix stopped when he was fifty steps away from the middle-aged man and looked at him quietly.
Yuan Feiting only brought about ten followers with him, facing the thirty riders led by the First Phoenix.
Neither side spoke, and the scene froze for a moment.
"What do you want?"
The First Phoenix broke the deadlock and asked impatiently.
He didn't have the time to play a game of staring at each other. The other party wasn't an eye-catching beauty. What was there to look at when he was an old man who could be his grandfather?
After hearing the young man's arrogant and domineering voice, Yuan Feiting frowned slightly. A trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes, but he was even more certain that this person had an extraordinary background.
Not only did he have profound martial arts, but he was also able to be fearless in the presence of hundreds of people. This was not something that ordinary family disciples could do, especially at his current age. It was even rarer.
"Uh…Young Master, you know the answer. I am Yuan Feiting, the Mountain Chieftain of Bai Ting Mountain. I am the king of this place.”
Yuan Feiting hesitated for a moment and decided to sound them out first. It would be fine if they were from a noble family, but if they were from a small rural family with some fortuitous encounters, hehe…sorry, he could just kill them at will.
As for the horses, he would gladly accept them.
"Oh? Why do you care who I am!"
The First Phoenix squinted her eyes and looked like she was asking for a beating.
Originally, he had planned to follow Old Huang's instructions and pull out the tiger skin of the Fang family to boost his strength.
Just as he was about to turn around, a thought suddenly flashed in his mind. A hint of toying with him surged into his mind, and he instantly changed his tone.
Yuan Feiting didn't expect the young man in front of him to be so difficult to deal with.
Originally, he had thought that both parties would reveal their backgrounds, exchange a few pleasantries, and then establish a distant relationship as relatives. After that, they would put on a passionate scene of getting to know each other without fighting, and finally, they would talk about family matters and call each other brothers…
As for the ending, you are good, I am good, everyone is good?
However, who would have thought that this fellow would actually be so unreasonable? His words were extremely aggressive and impudent. Could they still play together?
Yuan Feiting took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart. He decided to ask politely again. If he was still so arrogant, he would just beat him up and kill him. At most, he would show his true colors!
