“Brother, these words make sense.”
Guo Haishen and Fang Zhen quickly nodded in agreement. They had to stabilize the situation first.
The two of them had spent the past few months with Chen Feng. Under his influence, they were no longer against killing officials. The main reason was that they did not want to attack others so casually.
The group ate and drank their fill before setting off again.
After walking for a few more days, everyone finally arrived at the foot of Tiger Head Mountain.
At first glance, this mountain appeared like a tiger lying on a high platform. The forest was serene, but it actually belied the dangers within.
Everyone stood at the entrance of the mountain, not knowing how to start. They all uniformly turned to Zhou Jing, waiting for his instructions.
Fang Zhen leaned on the iron head staff and asked,
“Second Brother, should we charge straight up the mountain or get someone to report?”
“We came to compete in martial arts to subdue the other party’s leader, not to attack the stronghold. We have to be polite before resorting to force.”
Zhou Jing replied casually.
Then, he looked around and suddenly shouted at the forest in front of him,
“People of Tiger Head Mountain, come out and speak! We kindred from the Green Forest have come to pay a visit!”
His voice was like a tiger’s roar, echoing through the forest.
There were a few thuds in the forest, as if someone had fallen. Not long after, a lackey from Tiger Head Mountain ran out with a surprised expression.
Every stronghold in the Green Forest would usually set up sentries at the mountain pass to scout out the passersby.
The sentries here were hiding in the forest and had long noticed Zhou Jing and the others. Because they were unsure of their intentions, they did not appear previously. Now that they felt that they did not come with good intentions, someone boldly came out to ask.
“Who are you? Where are you from? What are you doing here?”
This sentry was frightened by Zhou Jing’s burly muscles, but still braced himself to ask.
Zhou Jing carried the Coiling Dragon Spear and deliberately revealed a fierce expression,
“Us brothers are here on behalf of Red Cloud Mountain to fight and subdue Tiger Head Mountain. We’re about to go up the mountain to visit the leaders. Go back and tell your Chief to ask them to come out and see me. Also, immediately put down your weapons and surrender. Know what’s good for you!”
The guard’s eyes widened in disbelief. He almost doubted what he had just heard.
These hundred or so people were actually here to challenge them?
How much had they drunk?
The guard found it difficult to understand and asked loudly, “Do you dare to leave your name?”
Zhou Jing pressed his thumb against his chest. “Grandpa’s name is Chen Feng!”
“You’re the Death Beckoning Yama King?!”
The guard was stunned, then his expression changed slightly as he blurted out.
In the past few months, Zhou Jing’s reputation in the Lu River area had been too resplendent. Everyone in the forest had more or less heard of him.
“It’s precisely this Grandpa.” After Zhou Jing replied, he suddenly glared and shouted, “Why are you still staying here? Hurry up and go back to pass the message, or I’ll let you eat Grandpa’s iron spear!”
He thurst Coiling Dragon Spear on the ground with great force, and a few cracks appeared on the hard ground under his feet.
The sentry jumped and hurriedly turned around to run up the mountain. This matter had nothing to do with him, so he decided to let the leader of the mountain make the decision instead.
Zhou Jing picked up the Coiling Dragon Spear again and turned on the map radar to lock onto this sentry. Following which, he waved his hand and instructed the people behind him,
“Come, let’s go up the mountain together.”
Everyone looked at each other and could only brace themselves to follow.
The corners of Guo Haishen’s mouth twitched slightly.
What kind of courtesy was this? He was simply looking for trouble and deliberately fanning the flames… Back then, when he went around to spar, he did not even dare to speak like this.
My second brother is so arrogant. He’s really not afraid that others will swarm him…
…
On Tiger Head Mountain, inside the stronghold.
The leaders were drinking and chatting about Lin Song, whom they had captured a few days ago.
“The two of you have caught a hot potato this time. This surnamed Lin comes from Wu Mountain Sect and is one of the Sect Master’s personal disciples. His identity is not simple.”
The Chief Peng Jin took a sip of wine and shook his head.
His nickname was the Fire Fur Lion. True to his namesake, he possessed red hair and a broad lion’s nose.
Shi Dong, who was sporting several sword wounds on his body, angrily spat out, “Why are you so worried? I wanted to let him go, but he took the initiative to injure me. If you ask me, I don’t care who he is. I’ll just kill him.”
“Brother, don’t underestimate them like this. The Wu Mountain Sect is not to be trifled with. Although their numbers can’t compare to ours, they’re all experts in martial arts. If they come to “seek guidance”, we won’t be able to gain anything. In my opinion, we should let him go.”
Third-in-charge Li Pei immediately tried to persuade him otherwise.
He was once a hunter and was good at using a bow, giving him the moniker of “Flying Archer”. His archery skills were extraordinary and he had the ability to pierce through everything.
When Shi Dong heard this, he said disapprovingly, “We’ve already offended this person. Even if we let him go, there’s no benefit. Could it be that this person is still useful?”
Peng Jin knocked on the table, his eyes shining. He lowered his voice to speak,
“This Lin Song is a personal disciple of the Wu Mountain Sect. Since he knows the profound martial arts of the Wu Mountain Sect, why don’t we interrogate him about the martial arts of the Wu Mountain Sect… We all came from unorthodox backgrounds. Could it be that you’re not curious about the martial arts of such a large sect? Especially the so-called internal cultivation methods, I’ve never seen them before.”
Shi Dong’s eyes lit up as he patted his head, “Boss is really insightful. Why didn’t I think of this?”
Li Pei frowned and said worriedly, “It’s a huge taboo for martial arts to be leaked. If we do this, I’m afraid Wu Mountain Sect will not let the matter rest.”
Shi Dong snorted, “There’s only one person with the surname Lin. If we kill him to silence him, the news won’t leak. What’s there to be afraid of?”
