Zhu Tian: A journey of spiritual practice starting from Joy of Life

Chapter 14 Huizhou Prefecture Green Forest Alliance

After arriving in Huizhou, Leng Feibai disguised himself and entered various villages and towns to inquire about the bandit problem, and was almost angered to death.

Ever since a generation of strange people came to Sanjiang and unified all the bandits in Huizhou Prefecture to form the Green Forest Alliance ten years ago, the whole Huizhou has been plunged into a bloody storm.

They robbed civilians and merchants in various mountain strongholds and committed numerous bloody crimes.

What's worse, some villager tribes even kidnap young children and cook them for food, which is appalling.

"The Green Forest Alliance is the largest bandit group in Huizhou! It's made up of twenty-four mountain strongholds. Their leader, Guo Sanjiang, is skilled in boxing, with a pair of iron fists of the ninth rank, rarely rivaled by anyone within the ninth rank! Furthermore, each of the remaining mountain strongholds is commanded by a seventh rank expert."

Leng Feibai read the scroll's introduction to the Green Forest Alliance, his eyes full of amusement. "Guo Sanjiang is a master of boxing. Although my Vajra Indestructible Divine Art has reached the middle stage, my current peak seventh-grade cultivation means there's only a 98% chance I can withstand his punch. Furthermore, if we take down the Green Forest Alliance headquarters directly, the remaining bandits will likely be forced to flee to the common people, continuing to cause harm to the area!"

Leng Feibai licked his lips and said, "Then let's kill them one by one. This will be fun!"

After saying that, Leng Feibai continued reading the scroll. "The Twenty-Four Mountain Strongholds are spread throughout Huizhou. The closest one is Chaoyang Stronghold, ten miles to the west. Besides the Seventh-Rank Master sent by the headquarters, the stronghold's leader, Fang Dayang, is also a Seventh-Rank Master! Let me test my skills on these two!"

After Leng Feibai finished speaking, he put away the scroll and fell asleep with his clothes on.

Early the next morning, Leng Feibai used the Cloud-Stepping Steps and flew towards the west. Two hours later, he arrived outside Chaoyang Village.

The entire village was built with countless tree trunks, and the walls above the village gate were decorated with countless flags.

"Let's get started!"

After Leng Feibai finished speaking, he took off his outer robe and other belongings and put them into the Twelve-story Building, then swung his Kanglong Mace and rushed towards the gate of the mountain stronghold.

"boom"

With a loud bang, the gate of the village shattered, leaving only countless flying wood chips.

In the smoke and dust, Leng Feibai walked in holding the Kanglong Mace.

The village gate was destroyed, and the village was thrown into chaos.

Hundreds of bandits armed with swords, spears, axes and halberds gathered towards the gate. The two leading men had two swords on their backs, and the other had strong legs and well-developed muscles. They should be the two seventh-rank masters of the mountain stronghold mentioned in the scroll, Zhai Zhenxi and Wu Ziqian.

"Hello everyone, I'm Leng Feibai, and I'm here to destroy this family. Please cooperate!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of laughter rang out in the village. The laughter was so loud that it even caused the surrounding courtyards to tremble slightly.

Zhai Zhenxi drew the two swords on his back and said, "Where did this madman come from to cause trouble in Chaoyang Village? Brother Wu, let me deal with this guy."

After saying this, Zhai Zhenxi brandished his two swords and charged towards Leng Feibai. The swords shone brightly, emitting a faint chill.

The transformation time of the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art is only half an hour. Leng Feibai was too lazy to waste time with this group of people. He brushed his thumb across the wheel of the Kanglong Mace and swung the mace to hit Zhai Zhenxi's double swords.

"Click"

With a loud noise, the two swords in Zhai Zhenxi's hands shattered at this moment and turned into fragments on the ground.

"Mountain-Splitting and Monument-Breaking Palm"

Leng Feibai swung his palm and hit Zhai Zhenxi directly on the chest.

"puff"

Zhai Zhenxi spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground with a bang. After twitching for a while, he fell to the ground again.

"Brother Zhai!"

Wu Ziqian looked at the dead Zhai Zhenxi, his eyes filled with panic, and quickly ordered, "Everyone, attack together!"

Zhai Zhenxi's death instead made the bandits united in their hatred of the enemy, and they waved their weapons and rushed towards Leng Feibai.

Leng Feibai snorted coldly, and a colorful energy burst out from under his feet, and he leaped into the air.

"Teng Long Jue: Spinning Dragon Shocking Heaven Attack"

Leng Feibai somersaulted and slammed his palm to the ground.

The colorful energy turned into an air wave and flew up. The bandits who rushed up immediately followed in the footsteps of the previous group of water bandits.

Leng Feibai seized the opportunity and leaped into the air, his Cloud Steps swift as lightning, his Vajra strength capable of crushing mountains. With his palm and mace combined, the bandits in Chaoyang Village were instantly killed or wounded.

Wu Ziqian looked at the heavy casualties among the people in the mountain stronghold, and felt as if he was struck by lightning. He gave up the idea of ​​fighting any further and turned around to escape.

"Where to go!"

Leng Feibai stepped on the bandit's corpse and chased after him. Seeing this, Wu Ziqian turned around and knelt on the ground begging for mercy, "Young man, spare my life. I promise to retire from this crime and never again..."

"Have you ever spared the people you took abducted to the stronghold, and the women you raped?"

Leng Feibai cursed, "Every single one of these is outrageous. If you don't die, who will?"

After saying that, Leng Feibai swung the Kanglong Mace wheel and hit Wu Ziqian on the head.

Wu Ziqian's brain burst and he fell to the ground.

Looking at the corpse on the ground, Leng Feibai's eyes flashed with golden light and he looked around.

Just at this moment, more than a dozen auras appeared in the houses in the village.

"Everyone inside, come out!"

Leng Feibai said sternly, "If you don't come out, I'll set fire to the village!"

As soon as these words fell, more than a dozen men and women ran out from the surrounding houses. These people did not have the aura of martial arts. When they saw Leng Feibai, they knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

After Leng Feibai asked, he found out that these people were cooks, laborers and innocent women who were abducted to the mountains by bandits.

Relying on the Five Contemplations to Calm the Mind, Leng Feibai knew that these people were not lying. He gave each of them twenty taels of silver and let them leave on their own.

There wasn't much valuables in the stronghold, and after a search, they only found tens of thousands of taels of silver and some jewelry of average quality in the treasury.

Although Huizhou is rich in iron ore, it is not as rich as the Jiangnan area.

Leng Feibai had previously wiped out more than 20 groups of pirates and bandits in Jiangnan, as well as a pirate who occupied an island. The gold, silver, diamonds, pearls, cat's eyes, emeralds, and top-quality jadeite he looted totaled more than 30 million taels of silver.

"Chaoyang Village has been resolved!"

After saying that, Leng Feibai flipped through the map and continued reading. "There are a total of six mountain strongholds in northern Huizhou. The closest one is Guiyun Stronghold, twenty miles south. It's not inferior to this one. The stronghold leader is only at the sixth rank, so it seems a bit easier... If I move faster, I can probably wipe out all six mountain strongholds in northern Huizhou within three days."

Leng Feibai put away the scroll, exerted force with both palms, and a fire dragon flew out. The bodies of the bandits were completely burned to ashes in the raging fire.

In order to go all out, Leng Feibai set the entire village on fire. He waited until the fire was extinguished before leaving Chaoyang Village.

Time passed quickly, and when the sun was at its highest point in the sky, what had just happened in Chaoyang Village also happened in Guiyun Village.

The overall strength of Guiyun Village is not as good as that of Chaoyang Village, and the bandits inside are not even as united as Chaoyang Village. When they saw the tragic death of the village chief and the seventh-grade master sent by the headquarters, they scattered like monkeys when the tree fell and fled out of the village.

Leng Feibai also put in some effort and killed all the bandits in the stronghold with his bare hands, and dragged all the bodies back to the stronghold.

“It’s so tiring!”

Leng Feibai looked at the corpses on the ground, wiped the sweat from his head and said, "These guys are really good at running. They didn't tire me to death!"

After a thorough search, Leng Feibai sent the 80,000 taels of silver he had found into the Twelve-story Tower, and at the same time, an unhappy sound came from his stomach.

Leng Feibai looked at the corpses all over the yard and walked into the kitchen of the village helplessly.

There were a lot of things in the kitchen, including a large pot of steamed rice and several baskets of dry food such as steamed buns and steamed cakes. The vegetables were mostly braised chicken, braised meat, and some unknown animal meat.

Leng Feibai took out a magnifying glass he had made and began to examine it based on his experience as a forensic doctor in his previous life.

After confirming that there was no human flesh in the meat, I felt relieved.

"These beasts really know how to enjoy themselves!"

Leng Feibai took out the silver needles and checked them one by one. After confirming that they were non-toxic, he filled two large bowls of rice and started eating with the braised chicken. The braised chicken had a strong taste, which should be the first time he used the marinade.

After solving his stomach problem, Leng Feibai wrapped the remaining food in cooking paper and brought it into the Twelve-story Building.
