On the outskirts of Green Maple Town, in a temple that had been abandoned for many years.
Third Brother He was holding a roasted chicken in one hand and a pot of wine in the other. He was feasting under the Buddha statue.
Recently.
His days were really good.
He casually spat out a chicken bone on the ground and touched the bulging and heavy bag on his back.
He sighed with emotion."Money, wine, and meat. This is a f * cking life!"”
The bag behind him was filled with spirit stones.
Ever since he had discovered the spirit stone mine, Third Brother He had been very careful. In order not to be discovered, he would sneak into the spirit stone mine every night to mine for spirit stones.
However, he was still alone. Even though he had exhausted all his strength, he had only managed to extract about 3,000 spiritual stones after more than ten days.
With the spirit stones in his hands, the third brother could not help but want to squander them.
However, he was still cautious. He knew that his spirit stones were not from the right source. Every time he squandered spirit stones, he would hide his identity and choose a different shop.
After so long, nothing had happened.
He walked out of the temple and casually poked the spider web in front of him.
He raised his head and looked at the moonlight to estimate the approximate time.
"It's almost time, it's time to start mining spirit stones."”
Suddenly...
The expression on his face froze, and he felt an inexplicable sense of unease in his heart. He, who had been out all year round, seemed to feel that today was a little different from usual.
It seemed to be too quiet today, too quiet.
He carefully looked around and did not find any strange movements.
He was puzzled, Could it be that I've been too nervous during this period of time? Was that why he was being paranoid? It should be."
He shook his head.
He dispelled the uneasiness in his heart, raised his feet, and was about to leave…
Around them, dense footsteps could be heard.
Third Brother He's heart jumped to his throat.
"There's someone!"
"Hehehehe…Hehehehehe...?”
A hoarse laugh came from afar.
Third Brother He looked over and frowned.
Under the hazy moonlight.
A figure covered in a black robe slowly walked towards him with his hands behind his back.
"Third Brother He, where are you going?" The black-robed figure asked.”
As soon as he finished speaking.
The sound of weapons being unsheathed entered Third Brother He's ears.
Third Brother He quickly looked around and saw that he had been surrounded by men in black who had strong auras.
The sword in her hand was pointing at him.
The only thing that could be seen in his eyes was coldness.
He No. 3 narrowed his eyes and asked,"Who are you? Why are you blocking my way? I've never offended anyone before. Is there some misunderstanding?”
The black-robed figure chuckled.
"You should know why we stopped you, right? Hehehe, Third Brother He, just surrender and you can avoid some physical pain."”
Hearing this…
Third Brother He thought to himself,"This is bad."
However, he still held onto his hope and said,"Everyone, I really don't know."
The man in black snorted.
"We've already come knocking on your door. Third Brother He, who are you trying to fool?" If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for taking something you shouldn't have!”
Almost instantly.
Old Third He knew that the truth had been exposed.
These men in black must have known that he had a spirit stone mine in his hands, which was why they had come looking for him.
He could not fall into the hands of these men in black.
"Run!"
Third Brother He roared in his heart.
He circulated his movement technique and increased his speed to the extreme. His body darted out like a gust of wind, wanting to escape from the encirclement of the black-clothed people.
The black-robed figure saw this.
He sneered.
"You still want to escape under this old man's nose? What a fool's dream!"”
His body moved, and when he appeared again, he was already ten meters away.
Within a couple of breaths, he had caught up to the black-clothed person and his palm gently landed…
"No!"
In the midst of Third Brother He's terrified scream, a palm landed on his back.
His bones instantly broke, and a heart-wrenching pain struck his heart.
Third Brother He spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.
Then, several sharp steel knives were placed on his neck. If they advanced a little further, they would be able to cut off his head.
Third Brother He said in disbelief,""Inborn expert!"
He had defeated Third Brother He, who was at Houtian seventh stage, with one strike.
The black-robed figure acted as if he had done something insignificant.
He lowered his head and looked down at Third Brother He.
He sneered.
"You overestimate yourself!"
Old Third He's eyes were wide open, and a raging fire was burning in his chest.
He wanted to curse, but the burning pain in his back made him unable to speak.
"Bring him back." The black-robed figure ordered.
"Yes, Great Elder!"
The two men in black responded.
Ignoring Old Third He's injuries, he lifted him up roughly and the group quickly disappeared from the dilapidated temple!
.......
Green Maple Town, Dark Weapon Workshop.
In the depths of a stone room, a weak candle flame was burning and releasing its own light.
In the stone room stood a dozen men in black, as if they were waiting for someone.
Not long after, the heavy stone door slowly opened.
A thin black-robed figure walked in.
Seeing this thin black-robed figure, the group of black-robed men bowed in unison.
"Greetings, Patriarch!"
The thin figure nodded.
He looked at the group of men in black and then said to one of them,"Great Elder, did you catch Third Brother He?”
The black-robed man removed the black veil from his face, revealing his true appearance. That old and familiar face was surprisingly the head elder of the Chen family.
Needless to say, this thin figure was the head of the Chen family, Chen Kun.
When the Great Elder heard this, he replied,"My clan leader, fortunately, we didn't fail our mission. We've already captured him!"”
Chen Kun clapped his hands and smiled.
"Very good!"
He seemed to have thought of something and asked the men in black behind the Great Elder,""Who is the Honorable Guest Tong Huan?"
A man in black heard Chen Kun call out his name, and his eyes were filled with excitement.
She hurriedly stood up and took off her veil.
He cupped his fists respectfully and said,"Master of the Clan, I am Tong Huan!"”
He looked at the sturdy man in front of him.
Chen Kun laughed heartily, his eyes revealing a look of admiration.
He extended a hand and patted Tong Huan's shoulder.
He said,"Tong Huan, you've done a good job in this matter. This family head will remember your contribution. When this matter is over and you return to the family, this family head will reward you according to your contribution!"”
Tong Huan's face turned red when he heard that.
He knelt down on one knee in excitement and thanked him,"Thank you, Master!"
Tong Huan had discovered a spirit stone mine for the clan and had not chosen to hide it from the clan. Chen Kun would naturally not be stingy with his rewards.
Those who have made contributions must be rewarded.
Those who offend must be punished.
Only when rewards and punishments were clear could one be considered a qualified superior!
After Chen Kun helped Tong Huan up, he turned to look at the Great Elder.
He said,"Great Elder, since Third Brother He has been captured, let's not waste any more time. Everyone, take a rest. We will enter the Huayang Mountain Range at night!"”
"Yes, Patriarch!"
