After a long time, Li Zhong sighed and said, "Young master, you have been drinking all day long these days. Sooner or later you will be in big trouble."
Zhou Yan's father, Zhou Ba, was originally the richest man in Green Cloud Town. His cultivation talent was outstanding, and at such a young age, he had already stepped into the peak of the Astral Transformation Stage.
In the end, he was assassinated by his enemies and died in the Black Stone Ridge.
And these things were not a secret.
"How dare you! How can you talk about my matters?"
Hearing that, Zhou Yan glared at him and kicked Li Zhong to the ground. He scolded him fiercely, "If you talk any more nonsense, do you believe that I won't chop you up?"
"Young master, please spare me. This servant knows his wrongs."
Li Zhong was so scared that his face turned ashen. He knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
"Humph!"
Zhou Yan snorted coldly and ignored her. He continued to close his eyes and pretend to be asleep as he continued to drink his wine.
"Young Master, are we leaving Black Stone City?"
Seeing that, Li Zhong mustered up his courage and asked.
Although Zhou Yan was drunk, he did not forget his duty.
The reason why he went to the Black Wind Valley this time was to search for medicinal herbs.
"Of course I have to go!"
Zhou Yan squinted his eyes and said: "Not only Black Stone City, but also Green Cloud City. I can't stay here any longer!"
"Oh? Why do you say that, Young Master?" Li Zhong said in surprise.
"You still don't know?"
Zhou Yan said in surprise, "My father was killed by the rebels in Black Wind Valley. My mother was heartbroken and brought my sister and me to Black Stone City."
"I didn't expect that the county captain of Black Stone City would actually send an army to surround us."
"County captain?"
Li Zhong was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Then what should we do?"
"Wait for death."
Zhou Yan said indifferently: "In any case, there is no spiritual energy in Black Stone City. Even if I cultivate to the Inborn Stage, I won't be able to live for long. I might as well fight to the death."
"Fight to the death?"
Li Zhong smiled bitterly and comforted: "Young master, your cultivation talent is not bad and your future is limitless. You don't need to go against the Black Wind Valley."
"Just because my talent is good doesn't mean I'm dumb."
Zhou Yan sneered: "Within the Black Wind Valley, the Spiritual Qi is abundant and the cultivation environment is excellent. As long as I can survive the first three years, I will definitely be able to break through and become a Martial Apprentice."
"This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. How can I give it up so easily?"
"But, if there is a Martial Master guarding the Black Wind Valley, you will most likely die if you rashly barge in."
Li Zhong said: "There are many experts in the Black Wind Canyon. Even if there's no Martial Master, we won't be able to enter with the powerful array."
"This...."
Zhou Yan frowned, "What you said makes sense. Then what should we do?"
Li Zhong hesitated for a moment, then said: "Why don't I accompany Young Master to the Black Wind Valley?"
"Alright."
Zhou Yan nodded.
The two of them made some preparations and left the Zhou Family.
The night gradually darkened.
In a lush forest, Zhou Yan and Li Zhong were hiding.
"Young Master, what should we do now?"
Li Zhong looked around and asked in a low voice.
"Wait."
Zhou Yan shook his head and said, "There will definitely be people going out in the Black Wind Valley. As long as we wait until midnight, we will have a chance to capture the rebels."
"But..."
Li Zhong gritted his teeth and said: "What if those rebels don't come out at all?"
"Hehe..."
Zhou Yan sneered and said, "If the rebels really don't come out, then we can only retreat."
Within Black Stone City, there were hundreds of rebels. Every once in a while, they would come out to burn, kill, and rob.
Right now, more and more rebels were gathering in Black Stone City.
Some of them had even joined the Black Wind Stronghold.
That was why Zhou Yan and Li Zhong were so wary of the Black Wind Stronghold's strength.
After all, there were hundreds of rebels in Black Stone City. If they joined forces, it would be very troublesome.
"Sigh, I hope the rebels will come out soon."
Li Zhong sighed helplessly.
"En, I hope so."
Zhou Yan replied and clenched his fists.
At this moment, his heart was filled with unease. If the rebels did not come out, he could only choose to escape.
"Young Master, there's a situation!"
Suddenly, Li Zhong pointed into the distance.
Following his gaze, he saw a group of thirty to forty people slowly walking out of Black Stone City.
"What are they doing?"
Zhou Yan frowned and asked.
Li Zhong said, "They should be going out to hunt or buy something."
"Hunt?"
Zhou Yan rolled his eyes and said, "Hehe, if we hunt, we can kidnap them and have them help us transport the food."
"That's a good idea!"
Li Zhong's eyes lit up as he agreed.
Zhou Yan nodded and said, "Uncle Li, immediately give the order to call all those merchants over."
"Yes, Young Master."
Li Zhong respectfully replied, turned around and left.
Not long after, he brought over seventy to eighty merchants.
"Young Master Zhou, is there anything you need from us this time?"
These merchants were all in charge of selling all kinds of food and vegetables. They worked in the Zhou Family to earn money.
"Go and help me hijack a few carriages."
Zhou Yan ordered: "As long as you are obedient, I promise to give you a generous reward!"
"Young Master Zhou, what do you mean?"
Immediately, everyone's expression changed as they shook their heads and refused.
"Let me tell you, don't refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit!"
Zhou Yan's face darkened as he sneered: "I have already received news that there has been a riot near Black Stone City. The Black Wind Stronghold's rebels have attacked Black Stone City."
"We are going to explore the Black Wind Valley now. If you dare to stop me, you will be committing treason!"
"Rebellion?"
"This..."
In an instant, the expressions of these merchants changed, and their faces were filled with fear.
"Young Master, I think it is better to think about this carefully!"
Li Zhong thought for a while and then carefully suggested, "After all, the people of the Black Wind Stronghold kill people without blinking an eye. If we piss them off, none of us will have a good ending."
"What do you know!"
Zhou Yan glanced at Li Zhong and angrily rebuked: "I have already found out that there are no Martial Masters guarding the Black Wind Stronghold. Furthermore, there are many rebels chasing after those traitors. In the short term, they will definitely not be able to take care of Black Stone City."
"As long as we take the opportunity to sneak into the Black Wind Valley and seize the Spiritual medicine, even if we are discovered, we will be able to escape."
"Furthermore, there are many treasures in the Black Wind Valley."
Zhou Yan was filled with longing as he said: "It is rumored that there are many pills and Spirit Weapons in Black Wind Valley. They are priceless. As long as we can obtain them, our Zhou Family will become rich."
"Hiss!"1
After hearing Zhou Yan's words, everyone sucked in a breath of cold air.
Pills!
Spirit Weapon!
These two words were far too distant for an ordinary person, as if they were an existence on the horizon.
Even in those rich families, very few people would use pills extravagantly.
Unless they were willing to spend a huge amount of wealth to buy a large number of pills and Spirit Weapons.
"Young Master is wise!"
