The bandit immediately stopped talking and was stunned for a moment. Then, he begged,
"I naturally want to live. I hope that you can spare my life. As long as you let me go, I'll do anything.“
Daoist Priest Qing Feng snorted and said,"
"Good! I'll give you a chance to live. Let me ask you, this is the back mountain of Black Wind Mountain. How many people are lying in ambush here? Are there any hidden weapons?"
The bandit thought for a while and then said,
"Reporting to Dao Master, this is the back mountain of Black Wind Mountain. A few brothers saw you descend the mountain from the front, so most of the people are looking for you on the mountain in front.”
"The Second Leader instructed us to guard this place in case you go down from the back mountain. There are many traps in the front and back mountains of Black Wind Mountain. There are hidden crossbows, traps, fishing nets, and so on.”
"The Second Leader even found an expert to set up a hallucination array. As long as they are not from our Black Wind Mountain, they will definitely get lost on the mountain and be captured or killed by the mechanisms on the mountain.”
At this point, the bandit suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
"I've already told you everything. Please don't kill me…"
Daoist Priest Qing Feng nodded in satisfaction and asked coldly,"
"Then do you know the way down the mountain?”
"I know!"
The bandit quickly replied,
"There's a locust tree at each fork of the front mountain and the back mountain. There's a red cloth tied to the locust tree. Each time you see that tree, you should walk on the left road so that you won't get lost. Additionally, you can go down the mountain safely. However, there are some brothers guarding the exit. I can only take you there. It depends on you whether you can get out or not…"
"Good!"
Daoist Priest Qing Feng replied and then said,
"As long as you bring me down the mountain, I will spare your life. However, you have to tell me clearly how many people are guarding the foot of the mountain.”
"Everyone on the mountain is looking for you and that old man. There shouldn't be many people guarding the mountain, only about ten people. As long as you can get past them, everything will be fine.”
the bandit said honestly.
Daoist Priest Qing Feng nodded and pondered for a moment before saying to the bandit,"
"Alright then, follow me…"
The bandit stood up with trepidation and followed Taoist Priest Qingfeng into the depths of the forest. After about half an hour, they arrived at the place where Old Liu was put down.
Old Liu held a big knife in his hand and flashed out from behind a big tree. When he saw that it was Daoist Priest Qing Feng and a bandit following behind him, he quickly asked,
"Brother Qingfeng, what's the situation over there? Why didn't I hear anything?"
"This Penniless Priest has killed all those bandits and brought one alive. He can bring us down the mountain. Let's go quickly. It will be troublesome if we meet other bandits later.”
Daoist Priest Qing Feng said.
Without waiting for Old Liu to reply, Daoist Priest Qing Feng turned around and looked at the bandit behind him. He said coldly,"
"Go over and carry him on your back. Lead the way.”
"Hey!"
The bandit responded and quickly ran to Old Liu's side. He squatted down. Old Liu chuckled and leaned on the bandit. He smiled at the bandit and said,
"Kid, you have to be honest. The saber in this old man's hand doesn't recognize people!”
The bandit was so frightened that his entire body trembled. He said with a crying face,
" I say, this grandpa…don't scare me. I've just witnessed the methods of the two grandpas. They can take a person's life in the blink of an eye. Even if you give me three guts, I wouldn't dare to do anything…"
Old Liu chuckled again and slapped the bandit's butt with the big knife in his hand."
"It's good that you know. Hurry up and carry Grandpa…"
The bandit repeatedly agreed and quickly walked forward with Old Liu on his back.
Daoist Priest Qing Feng clenched a few more copper coins and followed closely behind them.
The bandit was right. The few of them walked all the way to the fork.
Indeed, he saw a locust tree with a small piece of red cloth tied to it.
If one did not look carefully, they would not be able to find it.
The bandit carried Old Liu on his back.
He walked to the left side of the road and it was peaceful.
Daoist Priest Qing Feng carefully inspected the area along the way. It was just as the bandit had said.
This Black Wind Mountain was really full of traps. There were fishing nets hanging from many trees, and there were also some places where crossbows were hidden. If they were accidentally touched, they would lose their lives.
The three of them walked in the dark for about two hours.
In front of them, a faint light appeared. The bandit suddenly stopped and turned to Daoist Priest Qing Feng behind him.
" Master Dao, the exit of our Black Wind Mountain is right in front of us. There are more than ten brothers guarding that place. This lowly one can only send you here. If they see that this lowly one brought you here, Chief will definitely skin me alive…"
Daoist Priest Qing Feng looked at the place where the light was and said to the bandit,"
"Are you sure that's the exit? Is there an ambush?"
"My life is in your hands, how would I dare to lie to you…"
The bandit said in a trembling voice. It seemed that he was not lying.
Old Liu patted the bandit's shoulder and said,"
"Alright, put me down.”
The bandit squatted down and put Old Liu down.
Old Liu's feet had just landed on the ground when a fierce light flashed in his eyes. Then, he raised the big knife in his hand and was about to slash at the bandit's body. The bandit was so frightened that he sat on the ground and cried,
"Grandpa, please spare my life!"
"Wait!"
At this moment, Daoist Priest Qing Feng let out a low cry, and Old Liu's saber froze in mid-air.
"Since we've already left Black Wind Mountain, what's the point of keeping him? These people followed Jin Batian to commit crimes and kill countless people. It's not too much for this old man to kill him!”
Old Liu looked at Daoist Priest Qing Feng suspiciously, his face full of killing intent.
"Since I've promised to spare his life, I won't go back on my word. Besides, I still have a use for his life.”
Daoist Priest Qing Feng said in a deep voice.
"Oh?"
Old Liu was puzzled.
"What's the use of keeping him alive?"
Daoist Priest Qing Feng walked to the side of the trembling bandit and said expressionlessly,"
"Get up. Since I promised not to kill you, I will not go back on my word. However, you have to help me do one thing!”
The bandit stood up in trepidation and said in a trembling voice,
"Lord Dao…if there's anything you need, just tell me, as long as you don't kill me…"
"I want you to lure those people out from the exit. Can you do it?”
Daoist Priest Qing Feng asked.
