C1276 Stay Behind
After a moment, Li Zhong reacted. He flattered Zhou Yan and said, "With these things, our Zhou Family can definitely dominate the entire Black Stone City."
"Hahaha... That's for sure!"
Zhou Yan laughed and said.
Then, he stood up and stared at the distant mountain ridge, his eyes flickering.
"Since that's the case, there's no time to lose. Let's hurry up and take action."
He waved his hand and said, "Li Zhong, you're responsible for guarding the place. Everyone else, come with me."
"Yes, Young Master."
Everyone agreed and followed behind Zhou Yan, quietly setting off.
Black Wind Valley was only three miles away from Black Stone City.
After half an incense stick of time, Zhou Yan and his group arrived.
"Young Master, Black Wind Valley is ahead."
Li Zhong raised his finger and pointed at the mountain ridge in front of him, saying, "According to my memories, there is an empty space in front of us. Let's hide first."
"Alright."
Zhou Yan nodded.
After that, the group found a big tree to hide behind.
They quietly waited for the patrol team from the Black Wind Stronghold to arrive.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Zhou Yan narrowed his eyes and his gaze landed not far in front of him.
"Young Master, what's wrong?"
Seeing Zhou Yan's unusual expression, Li Zhong could not help but ask.
"Nothing."
Zhou Yan waved his hand and said indifferently, "Continue monitoring!"
Boom!
Suddenly, a deafening sound came from within the mountain range.
It was as if the heavens and the earth had collapsed, waking up all the wild beasts.
One wolf after another rushed out of the darkness and charged at the patrols of the Black Wind Stronghold.
Suddenly, blood and flesh flew everywhere.
Although the patrol team of the Black Wind Stronghold was well equipped, they were no match for these fierce wild wolves.
In just an instant, they had lost a lot and were forced back.
"Run...!"
"Help...."
Screams sounded from the patrols of the Black Wind Stronghold.
At this moment, a muscular man roared, "Brothers, follow me and charge out!"
"Charge!"
Hearing this, the remaining bandits of the Black Wind Stronghold roared and charged out.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Finally, after paying an extremely heavy price, the patrol team of the Black Wind Stronghold successfully broke through the encirclement and escaped.
"Haha, we won!"
"Hahaha... I came out alive."
"Brothers, let's go and leave Black Wind Valley."
"Right!"
......
... The Centaurs of the Black Wind Stronghold all cheered and ran away crazily.
"Not good."
Seeing this scene, Li Zhong's expression changed dramatically as he said in fear, "Young master, those bandits are about to escape. Hurry up and send people to stop them."
"Hmm?"
Hearing that, Zhou Yan raised his eyebrows and shouted, "Li Zhong, are you a fool?"
"I already warned you just now, but unfortunately, you didn't listen."
"You want to leave now? It's too late!"
"Young Master, I..."
Li Zhong lowered his head and said with shame, "It's all my fault. I didn't report it earlier."
"Humph..."
Zhou Yan coldly snorted and said, "You did overlook something in this matter, but your crime does not deserve to die."
"Thank you for your forgiveness, Young Master."
Li Zhong was so grateful that he bowed and said, "Young Master, now that the reinforcements from the Black Wind Stronghold have escaped, should we send people to capture them and bring them to justice?"
"No need."
Zhou Yan shook his head and said: "This time, we are going to Black Wind Valley to steal Spiritual medicine, not to kill."
"Furthermore, there are many experts hiding in the Black Wind Valley. If we are discovered by them, I'm afraid it will cause trouble."
As he spoke, Zhou Yan looked in the direction of the Black Wind Stronghold. The corner of his mouth curled into a strange smile as he muttered to himself, "The faster the people from the Black Wind Stronghold run, the better."
"Because their lives have already entered the countdown."
As soon as he finished speaking, a cold light suddenly shot out.
Swish!
The sword light cut through the air and sped into the distance.
"This... Young Master actually let the people from the Black Wind Stronghold go!"
Seeing this, Li Zhong was shocked and hurriedly tried to persuade him: "Young Master, the Black Wind Stronghold has a lot of people, and among them, there is no lack of Martial Disciple Realm experts."
"If they find out, they won't let this go."
"Young master, you can't take any risks."
However, Zhou Yan was too lazy to bother with Li Zhong. He quickened his pace and rushed out of the forest.
"Young master..."
Li Zhong was stunned on the spot. He couldn't calm the shock in his heart for a long time. He couldn't help but swallow a few times, his face filled with bitterness.
The infamous Black Wind Stronghold made people tremble in fear. He was really afraid that Zhou Yan would be in danger.
"Young Master, you will definitely be fine. I will wait for your triumphant return."
Taking a deep breath, Li Zhong hurriedly followed.
...
At the same time.
On top of Black Wind Cliff, a young man stood with his hands behind his back.
This man was handsome and radiated a fierce aura.
His name was Zhao Hu.
He was one of the four leaders of the Black Wind Stronghold, and he was a Rank Nine Martial Soldier that cultivated sword skills.
"Young Lord."
A servant in azure suddenly walked up from behind Zhao Hu.
"Mm, go and make some arrangements. Throw away all the corpses here. Also, seal off the news and don't let anyone else know!" Zhao Hu ordered.
Zhao Hu ordered.
"Understood."
The azure-robed servant respectfully said.
The azure-robed servant soon went to make preparations.
"Young Lord, there's a secret passage in the Black Wind Stronghold that leads to the depths of the valley."
At this moment, Zhao Hu spoke, "As long as the secret path is blocked, no matter how many reinforcements the Black Wind Stronghold has, they won't be able to break through the valley."
"Oh? There's such a thing?"
Hearing that, Zhou Yan's eyes lit up, and he muttered to himself, "In that case, let's take action immediately!"1
With that, Zhou Yan took the lead and rushed towards the entrance of the secret passage.
"Yes."
Seeing that, Zhao Hu did not dare to be negligent and immediately followed.
The two of them passed through the dense forest and quickly arrived at the end of the secret passage.
"Young Master, this secret passage is not blocked."
Zhao Hu said after inspecting it.
Hearing that, Zhou Yan thought of something and said: "That's good."
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Without any hesitation, Zhou Yan used his movement technique and snuck into the depths of the valley.
...
In the depths of the valley, there was a dark cave.
This cave was as dark as ink, and one could not even see their fingers in front of them.
"Who is it?"
Suddenly, a cold and sinister voice sounded from the darkness.
Weng ~ ~
In an instant, a black mist rose from the depths of the cave and gathered into a muscular figure.
"Brat, who are you?"
"This is a hiding place that I spent a great deal of effort to excavate, and you dare to enter? You've eaten the heart of a bear and the guts of a leopard!"
This figure was wearing a black robe. He was tall and sturdy. His skin was dark like it was made of steel, full of explosive power.
"Hehe... Black Eagle, I trust you have been well since we last met!"
Zhou Yan grinned and said: "I came to find you this time because I want to ask you a question."
