Chapter 170 Zhang Bairen, the Chief of the Heavenly Stronghold, and the Female Ghost Who Staged an Accident! (Please Subscribe)

In the blink of an eye.

Several months have passed since I returned from Leifeng Pagoda.

Niu Jun remained true to his original aspiration and continued to explore the entire map, collecting mythical power bit by bit.

Chang'e, Xu Xian, Bai Suzhen, and others have been completely forgotten by him.

Everyone has their own life and their own things to do. No one is going to be so idle as to pay attention to other people, especially unrelated ones.

Of course, after the events involving Chang'e and Xu Xian, he became even more careful and secretive about his whereabouts, employing various methods to conceal his secrets in order to prevent being schemed against again and getting involved in some serious matters.

What can be done?

There are some things he can't avoid just because he wants to.

On this day, following his intuition, Niu Jun arrived at an official road in Dongzhou.

"Young master, look over there is a beautiful young lady, she's sure to be a good mother!"

The speaker was a burly man dressed in a black martial robe, riding a tall horse, with a handsome young man in a white martial robe beside him.

The boy looked to be no more than ten years old, with a face as white as jade and a silver-white longsword hanging at his waist.

"What a beauty!"

"She's a perfect match for my boss, Zhang!"

The young man looked up at the sound and saw a woman walking alone on the official road ahead. She was dressed in white, her skin was as white as jade, and a white brocade belt cinched her slender waist. Her graceful figure was captivating.

Following behind the two was a servant dressed in blue. Upon hearing the boy's words, he hurriedly said, "What boss? Young master, you must hold back."

"This woman dares to travel alone; she's probably not as simple as she seems. We'd better avoid her."

The boy's face stiffened, and he said sullenly, "Yes, it's me!"

Done.

He seemed to feel that the servant was boosting the morale of others and diminishing his own, so he pouted and said, "Gao Ming, aren't you being a little too cautious? Your young master is a young talent from the surrounding area, how could I be afraid of a woman?"

The servant looked helpless and couldn't help but mutter under his breath, "It wouldn't matter if it were a woman, but I'm afraid she's not human."

"What are you muttering about?"

The young man turned to look at the servant, then urged, "Quickly check on that woman for me. If there's no problem, I'll need a wife to take as my wife."

"My father kept telling me to get married and have children to carry on the family line before he died."

His name was Zhang Bairen. He was a bandit who had lived in the mountains for generations. After his father died, he succeeded him as the leader of Tiandi Village. He had thousands of men under his command. Although he was not a big name in the entire Dongzhou, he was quite famous in the area within a thousand miles of Dongshan Prefecture.

Zhang Bairen went down the mountain disguised as a noble young master to visit the prefectural city, only to hear that the prefect of Dongshan Prefecture had prepared a birthday tribute worth a million strings of cash in order to bribe a certain important figure in the imperial court and to extort money from the people.

After this news spread, all the powerful figures in the entire Dongshan Prefecture were alarmed, and they were all sharpening their knives, eager to make a big score.

As the leader of Tiandi Village and the top outlaw in Dongshan Prefecture, Zhang Bairen naturally coveted the birthday tribute and considered it his for the taking. So he took two quick-witted subordinates down the mountain to investigate.

His two subordinates were no ordinary people either.

That burly, dark-skinned man, despite his imposing appearance and seemingly rough-and-tumble physique, was actually a shrewd and cunning individual. His name was Li Changgeng, and he was skilled in swordsmanship, his Gengjin Sword Technique being unmatched for miles around.

Because of his ruthless methods, he was known as the Black-Faced Killer God, and his reputation was enough to stop a child from crying.

As for Gao Ming, whom Zhang Bairen mentioned, who was the servant behind the two of them, he was no ordinary person either. He was an extraordinary individual with divine eyes that could see hundreds of miles away and observe the fortunes and misfortunes of all things.

The fact that Tiandi Village was able to repeatedly plunder and reap rich rewards without being besieged by the imperial army was a testament to its brilliance, earning it the nickname "Ghost-Eyed Lord".

These two, Li Changgeng, the Black-Faced Killer, and Gao Ming, the Ghost-Eyed God, are no ordinary figures; they could be considered powerful figures even in the entire Zhen Ding Realm. Yet, these two are utterly devoted to Zhang Bairen, the young leader of Tiandi Village.

This left the heroes of Dongshan Prefecture completely baffled.

"Young master, I think you should forget about it. You're still young. There's no rush to get married and have children. You're so young and you're already thinking about women. Aren't you afraid of being drained of your life force by a vixen?"

Gao Ming emphasized the words "female demon." They were all old partners who had worked together for many years.

Zhang Bairen instantly understood the meaning behind Gao Ming's words, and said somewhat listlessly, "Forget it, forget it. I have no interest in what you've said. Let's go back now."

After saying that, he waved his hand and moved on from the topic, continuing on his way with the two people behind him.

Zhang Bairen is a decent man. If she were a respectable woman, he would have taken her back to the mountain stronghold as his wife, which would have been fine, as she could at least carry on the family line. How could he bring a demon back to the stronghold as his wife?

however.

Zhang Bairen was unwilling to provoke the woman in white.

The woman in white was unwilling to let Zhang Bairen and his two companions go.

Just as Zhang Bairen rode past the woman in white, she seemed to suddenly twist her ankle and turned straight around, falling down onto the official road.

Although it was just a fleeting glimpse, it still startled Zhang Bairen and his two companions who arrived on horseback.

Zhang Bairen, in particular, was completely stunned. He felt that he had never seen such a beauty before. The wives that his father had abducted before his death could not even compare to her.

Seeing this, the woman in white secretly felt smug, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes.

Before her smugness could subside, Zhang Bairen's horse seemed to be startled, and its tiny hooves landed directly on the white-clad woman's beautiful face.

The speed and timing were so fast that not only Zhang Bairen, but even the woman in white herself didn't have time to react.

boom!
In an instant, the stunning beauty who had suddenly twisted her ankle and fallen on the official road had her head crushed by the horse's hooves. Her whole body was like a deflated doll, with only a shattered painted skin remaining. She was trampled into the mud by the horse's hooves and turned into ashes.

The white horse continued galloping happily forward.

It wasn't until they had run more than ten meters that Zhang Bairen, still on horseback, came to his senses: "What just happened? I think I saw a stunningly beautiful woman, but where is she?"

Zhang Bairen looked back at the deserted official road and couldn't help but scratch his head.

No.

Where is the beauty?
Was everything just an illusion?
"Old Hei, I think I just saw a stunningly beautiful woman asking me for help, but she disappeared in the blink of an eye. Do you think I was hallucinating?"

“Young master is not hallucinating. Just now, a woman did fall on the road and asked for your help, but it was not a human, but a female ghost in a painted mask.”

At this moment, Li Changgeng, the black-faced killing god, also came to his senses and said with some lingering fear.

"A female ghost in disguise?"

Zhang Bairen was greatly surprised and couldn't help but ask, "Really? Where's the ghost?"

Hear the question.

Li Changgeng glanced at the white horse Zhang Bairen was riding, and then said in a low voice, "The female ghost had just used her charm on us when Xiaobai stomped on her and shattered her disguise. Under the scorching sun, her soul was scattered."

While talking.

Li Changgeng glanced at the blazing sun overhead and thought that the painted-skin female ghost really wasn't thinking straight.

It's one thing to come out in broad daylight under the scorching sun, but to stage a fall on the ground and try to scam the three of us on horseback? Did she think her charm would work on warhorses?

The result was good.

Not only did her attempt to stage an accident fail, but she also had her painted skin crushed by the white horse, the leader's mount. Without the protection of her painted skin, it's no wonder that a small female ghost could not withstand the scorching midday sun.

That's really insane.

"His painted skin was shattered by Xiaobai, and his soul was scattered?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Bairen's lips twitched involuntarily, and he also felt that the female ghost was not quite right in the head.

A female ghost came to stage an accident in the middle of the day.

Are you sure it's not an illness?
