I planted the spiritual roots for my people, and they bestowed upon me a body inscribed with incense

Before leaving, Li Yuan made sure to have Li Tong inform Wang Tiezhu to gather the members of the bandit-extermination team and wait outside the courtyard.

Two hours later, Li Daqiang and Li Yuan arrived at the temple gate, pretending to be hunters passing by, and stepped into the temple.

When Mo Long and his men saw someone enter the temple, their underlings immediately stepped forward.

"Gentlemen, would it be alright if you found another place to rest today?"

Seeing this, Li Daqiang roared:

"Where did this dog come from? Is this your yard? Just because we can't rest here doesn't mean we can't rest here!" After saying that, Li Daqiang gestured for Li Yuan to sit down.

Seeing Li Daqiang's unreasonable words, the man could no longer restrain his bandit nature.

"Damn it, if you're not leaving, then you'd better die here!" With that, he swung his knife at Li Daqiang.

Seeing this, Li Daqiang looked disdainful, swung his broadsword horizontally, and cut the man down with a single stroke.

Mo Long was caught completely off guard by what happened in that instant. By the time he realized what was happening, his men were already dead.

"How dare you!"

Mo Long finally realized something was wrong, stood up, and roared at the two men with a gloomy expression.

Li Daqiang glanced at Mo Long.

"Come on, if you want to fight, I'm ready. You spineless coward." These words instantly ignited Mo Long's anger.

"Very well, I accept your order." Just as he was halfway through his sentence, Li Daqiang slashed at him with his sword.

Seeing this, Mo Long rolled away to dodge Li Daqiang's attack, his face now flushed red.

Li Daqiang wouldn't give him another chance, and stepped forward to slash horizontally with his sword. Seeing this, Mo Long drew his long sword, intending to block Li Daqiang's attack.

Clearly, his sword was utterly useless; the horse-slaying saber easily severed the precious sword in his hand, and the tip of the saber grazed Mo Long's cheek.

This completely stunned Mo Long. He was about to ask one of his underlings to get his sword when he turned around and saw that there were countless corpses lying on the ground, but one person was still alive.

This man was used by Li Yuan to raid Black Wind Mountain's lair, so of course he can't be killed.

Seeing this, Mo Long also realized something was wrong; this was clearly not a simple coincidence.

"Who are you? We were just passing by, why did you treat us so cruelly?"

Seeing this, Li Daqiang was about to speak when Li Yuan spoke up.

"Who we are is not important. Blame it on you for having too many people involved. This is the adults' decision."

Upon hearing this, Mo Long was stunned for a moment before he instantly realized what was happening.

"Were you sent by Second Uncle?" Seeing that Li Yuan and the other man remained silent, Mo Long roared angrily.

"I knew it, that old bastard really doesn't trust me." But killing me won't be that easy.

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan couldn't help but think to himself, "Good heavens, there's definitely something fishy going on here."

After speaking, Mo Long tucked his hands into his sleeves, and when he took them out, he was wearing a pair of golden gloves.

"What you have is indeed powerful, but what I have is a black gold glove made of refined gold, which is the treasure of Wu Family Fortress."

Seeing that what he was saying was nonsense, Li Daqiang ignored him, stepped forward and stabbed him, preparing to finish the fight quickly.

Seeing this, Mo Long caught the blade with both hands, preparing to snatch the horse-slaying knife from Li Daqiang's hand.

Seeing the scene before him, Li Yuan picked up his henchman and turned to leave, a thought creeping onto his face:

"Another idiot."

As expected, the horse-slaying sword cut Mo Long, who was preparing to catch the sword with his bare hands, in two. After searching Mo Long's body, Li Daqiang came out and met up with Li Yuan, who was waiting at the temple gate.

The two then headed straight for the small fishing village.

Back in the courtyard, ten members of the bandit-suppression team had already gathered outside. Since the team was established, Li Daqiang had been teaching Wang Tiezhu kung fu whenever he had free time, and the others would practice along with Wang Tiezhu.

That's how the ten of them learned some kung fu, more or less.

Seeing that everyone had gathered, Li Yuan looked at the bandits on the ground who were like corpses, stepped forward and slapped them awake from their unconsciousness.

Upon waking up and seeing the scene before him, the bandit immediately knelt down.

"Sir, spare my life! I only did this because my family was desperate and had no other choice. Please spare my life!"

Seeing this, Li Yuan stepped forward and slapped him again, then said:

"I'll tell you, you answer, and if I'm satisfied, I'll spare your life."

Seeing that Li Yuan had relented, the man quickly kowtowed repeatedly to Li Yuan, saying as he kowtowed:

"I will tell you everything I know, I will tell you everything I know."

"Are you from Black Wind Mountain? Where is your Black Wind Mountain stronghold?"

"I am from Black Wind Mountain. Our Black Wind Mountain stronghold is located in Yichun Tower, west of Luoshan City."

This answer surprised Li Yuan somewhat; the bandits' hideout wasn't actually in the mountains. Interesting.

Then Li Yuan spoke again:

"So you usually keep the things you rob at Yichun Tower in the west of the city? You'd better tell the truth."

Seeing this, the man quickly spoke up:

"Yes, I had the honor of delivering money once. It should be located downstairs at Yichun Tower. As for the exact location, I really don't know. I only know that there is also your treasure nearby, and the key is in the hands of the chief."

Seeing this, Li Yuan glanced at Li Daqiang and noticed that he was holding a strange-looking key.

Seeing that Li Yuan was no longer speaking, the man's expression immediately became tense and he spoke up:

"Sir, are you satisfied?"

Li Yuan nodded, then sliced ​​off the man's head with a single stroke. The men around him were all farmers who had never seen anything like this before, and their faces turned grim. In the end, it was Uncle Tiezhu who led the men to deal with the body.

Seeing this, Li Yuan realized that this was exactly the scene he wanted. He had no time to manage the crowd, and his father hadn't set any rules. If he didn't put them in a strong position, he feared there would be trouble later.

Knowing Black Wind Mountain's lair makes things much easier. Li Yuan looked at the remaining members of the bandit-extermination team and then said:

"Go home, each of you borrow an oxcart, and then set off immediately for the gate of Luoshan City. Uncle Tiezhu will let you know what to do then."

Seeing this, the group hurriedly left before their captain, Li Daqiang, could give any further instructions. What they had just witnessed had been quite an eye-opener. They naturally knew that Li Yuan's words were exactly the same as Li Daqiang's.

Seeing this, Li Daqiang stepped forward and said:

"Not bad, as expected of my son. Once we get the spoils from Black Wind Mountain, it will be enough for my Li family to build a magnificent mansion."

"Oh, by the way, Yuan'er, when you have time, could you scout out the best place in the village for you to cultivate? That's where our Li family mansion will be built."

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan said, "Father, when I return this time, I will take a stroll around the village."

After Wang Tiezhu finished disposing of the body, Li Yuan called Wang Tiezhu, and the three of them, lightly equipped, headed towards Luoshan City.
