What a lucky world!

Chapter 225 The Buddha demon appears in the mountains!
Watching the hunting gang leave the village and head straight into Changcui Mountain, Zhang Mu did not say anything to stop them.

It’s not about giving up the desire to help others and respecting their fate; it’s mainly because Zhang Mu feels that he can’t stop it at all.

We are not related or friends, but we met on the road. Do you think it is dangerous?
So Zhang Mu thought about it and decided to give up.

However, seeing the hunting gang leave, Zhang Mu began to think about following them.

It would be nice to take this opportunity to test the waters. As for the reward for leading the way, I will save him if I can!

Having made up his mind, Zhang Mu waited for a while. Guessing that the hunting gang had gone far away, Zhang Mu made an excuse to walk around and gave Zhang Erniu a dime of silver, asking him to help him look after the horses. Then he took a detour and entered Changcui Mountain.

……

In Changcui Mountain, the hunting gang fought their way through the thorns and bushes and headed towards Qipan Peak.

Zhuang Yongxian walked in front. As the deputy leader of the Hunting Gang, with a cultivation level in the late Condensation Realm, he was a renowned expert in the county city. This time, he led his team into Changpan Mountain, partly to avenge the death of Zhang Wuyi, a fellow gang member, and partly to secure Changpan Mountain as their hunting gang's sphere of influence.

The existence of a demon on Qipan Peak was no secret to the important figures in the county town. However, the demon neither harmed their interests nor, to a certain extent, blocked the mountain road, preventing refugees from escaping. This was why the area became a lawless zone.

As for the monster's cultivation level, the gang leader estimated it to be at the Condensation Stage. With the disciples' combined attack skills, coupled with the three Spirit Weapon-level Wind-Tearing Arrows he carried, taking down the monster shouldn't be a problem.

He glanced at the crowd and could tell at a glance that his daughter was a little uneasy.

"Rong'er, what are you thinking about?" Zhuang Yongxian walked to Zhuang Rongrong and asked softly.

Zhuang Rongrong is not only his daughter, but also the core of the combined attack technique. He doesn't want anything to happen to Zhuang Rongrong.

"Dad, it's nothing." Zhuang Rongrong shook her head. "It's about that young man I met in Changcui Village before. I think there's something wrong with him."

"has a problem?"

"Yeah." Zhuang Rongrong nodded affirmatively. "When I approached him, I felt a sense of oppression."

"His strength is far superior to mine, even..."

"Stronger than the gang leader!"

Zhuang Yongxian frowned slightly and shook his head: "How is that possible?"

Wang Wenlu, the leader of the Hunting Gang, had reached the Perfection of the Nascent Soul Realm. Although the young man himself had not communicated, when Zhuang Rongrong went to find him, he took a quick glance at him and found that he was about twenty years old.

Being stronger than Wang Wenlu, doesn't that mean he is more courageous?

He is around twenty years old and has reached the state of gathering courage. Could he be the one on Sunset Peak?
But even with just a quick glance, he could see that the man's eyes were no different from those of an ordinary person, and he should not be the young master Du Mu.

"Maybe he is a child of a noble family and has some treasure on him." Zhuang Yongxian guessed.

Zhuang Rongrong nodded: "Maybe."

"But Changcui Village isn't a major transportation route. How could that young man end up there?"

"I noticed his horse before I went in, and I could tell it had been on a long run."

"If you really want to rest, the county town is just a short distance along the main road. Why turn into Changcui Village?"

"So I suspect his target is also Qipan Peak!"

Zhuang Yongxian frowned slightly when he heard this.

"That's unlikely, isn't it? Besides that monster, is there anything else on Qipan Peak that would be worthy of such a figure's attack?"

He spoke lightly, but the expression on his face quickly became serious.

In reality, their actions this time were motivated by revenge and the capture of Chang Cuishan, with the real reason known only to Zhuang Yongxian and Wang Wenlu. The fact that the gang leader, Wang Wenlu, had risen from an ordinary hunter to where he was today was due to a profound karmic connection.

Every few years, Wang Wenlu would have a dream in which an old man would appear and point out where his opportunity lay.

It is precisely because of this dream that Wang Wenlu has achieved what he has today.

As a childhood friend who has followed Wang Wenlu all the way, Zhuang Yongxian also firmly believes in this dream.

A few days ago, the old man of the Zhang family came to the Hunting Gang, hoping that the Hunting Gang would help him enter the Qipan Peak to find Zhang Wuyi, but no one cared.

But yesterday Wang Wenlu had the same dream again. The old man in the dream told him that there was a great opportunity at Qipan Peak.

This is why Zhuang Yongxian came here.

If Wang Wenlu had not been weak for a period of time after each dream, it would not be Zhuang Yongxian who led the team this time, but Wang Wenlu himself.

"Could it be that the young master is also after the opportunity at Qipan Peak?" Zhuang Yongxian muttered to himself, then shouted, "Hide your tracks, speed up, and reach Qipan Peak before sunset."

"Yes!" everyone responded loudly.

……

"Meow..." Xuan Ji yawned and hung on Zhang Mu's shoulder, her smoky voice carrying a hint of impatience, "I'm not a dog..."

Zhang Mu patted Xuan Ji's head and said, "I'm sorry for putting you in such a difficult position. Please find a way for me."

"No, I want to sleep..." Xuan Ji was about to transform into black air again when she heard Zhang Mu say, "If I'm a step late, my chance will be snatched away by those people!"

Xuan Ji paused when she heard this, and her pupils gradually narrowed into a slit.

No! All opportunities belong to me!

You absolutely cannot steal my brother Mu’s opportunity!

Xuan Ji immediately raised her head, sniffed the air, then shook her body, turned into a ball of black smoke, and flew in one direction.

Seeing this, Zhang Mu immediately followed the black smoke that Xuan Ji had transformed into.

……

sunset.

After traveling dozens of miles along the mountain road, everyone in the hunting gang was sweating profusely.

Zhuang Rongrong looked at the surrounding terrain, picked up the map in her hand and compared it, then said to Zhuang Yongxian, "Dad, the Qipan Peak is just ahead."

Zhuang Yongxian nodded and looked at the forest that had not been developed by the hunting gang.

Qipan Peak wasn't named for its smooth, chessboard-like shape. No one would have guessed that its original name was Nirvana Peak, a legend that a high monk from Lankao Temple attained nirvana here. However, due to the vulgarity of the countryside, the name "Nirvana" became "Chessboard." At the time, the Great Yun government was trying to discredit Lankao Temple, so the official name Qipan Peak was officially adopted.

"What a great monk's nirvana, in the end it's just a pile of dry bones." Zhuang Yongxian sighed in his heart, and then shouted again, "Rest here for an incense stick, replenish your energy and water."

"We'll go straight to Chessboard Peak, capture and kill the monster, and avenge our brothers in the gang!"

However, Zhuang Yongxian did not hear the expected response from the crowd, but instead heard a burst of Buddhist chanting in his ears.

Then, a kind voice sounded, which made Zhuang Yongxian feel cold on his back.

"Donor, are you also here to study Buddhism with me?"
