Chapter 119 Turning Against Each Other
"I know, I know. We'll find a few scapegoats later, and that'll be the end of it."
Kong Wu nodded, then asked about something else: "Hmm, I heard you have two guys here. Have they done their job?"
"The people below are doing it."
"That's good. We're not real bandits, so we can't afford to make any mistakes."
"I know."
"By the way, I was told to say that we can still do things like issuing warrants (for kidnapping women), but we probably can't do things like selling children."
"What?"
"Women are cheap, once they're gone, they're gone. But boys are their lifeblood. If too many are lost, many people will go to the government to make trouble. It's gotten really big now, and we're afraid that if we keep making trouble, people in the capital will find out."
"Ugh! What a nuisance, I have to think of new ways to make money again."
"..."
After a moment of silence, Tian Lin said, "You go about your business, I need to go back and be with my beautiful wife."
"What a disgrace!" Kong Wu laughed and cursed, but waved for the others to leave.
Finally, he was all alone. He walked to the back of the weapon rack and suddenly realized that something was missing. He hurriedly searched for it everywhere.
But he couldn't find it, so he quickly called over his younger brother and asked, "Where's that stone here?"
The younger brother thought for a moment before replying, "Oh! You mean that inconspicuous stone? During the day, the head of the household said that a piece was missing from the front hall, so he had someone carry it over to use as a stepping stone."
"What!" The bandit leader was furious and kicked the man who had reported the incident.
"Move it back right now, quick!"
The younger brother hurriedly brought over the stone, which Kong Wu carefully held like a treasure, placing it on the weapon rack before waving the others away.
"Tell your master that this is a treasure, and no one is allowed to touch it!"
"Yes!"
After everyone had left, he fumbled for the mechanism on the stone and entered the secret chamber.
Xia Li and the other hurriedly followed inside, only to discover that this was the Snow Mystic Realm.
This……
They exchanged a glance, their eyes flashing with deep shock.
No wonder there were so many mundane items inside besides those used for cultivating immortality. So, it was the treasure trove of these bandits.
"Who?"
Surprised, the two accidentally bumped into a pebble. Kong Wu immediately turned around, his sharp gaze sweeping over them.
He had prepared a deadly move and was about to attack Xia Li and the other person.
Xia Li's eyes darted around, and an idea instantly came to her. She smiled and took two steps toward Kong Wu:
"Please don't misunderstand, we're not here for any other reason than... to make a fool of ourselves."
"Ok?"
Kong Wu was so shocked that he forgot to attack. He was somewhat stunned: "What did you say?"
"You don't know this, do you? Our leader already knew about this secret realm, and the treasures inside have been moved."
"!!! Tian Lin, that brute, he's gone mad! He dares to touch the Third Prince's things?"
The Third Prince's? No wonder there are so many, almost as many as two gold mines.
This must contain the vast majority of his belongings.
If he took it away, wouldn't he be so angry he'd vomit blood?
Thinking of this, Xia Li wanted to laugh; karma was finally getting its comeuppance.
You bastard!
She wouldn't mind adding fuel to the fire.
"Kong Wu, now that you know the secret of this place, you only have one way out: death."
Yu Yang also spoke with ill intent:
"The master said that as long as you die, the Third Prince won't discover anything unusual here. Then, he can frame you for embezzling treasure and fleeing to avoid punishment."
After saying that, Yu Yang prepared a killing move and attacked Kong Wu.
Kong Wu cursed, "Idiot!" and then quickly countered. The two opponents were also cultivators, and he couldn't see through their cultivation levels, so he was finding it difficult.
Of course, Xia Li wanted him to return alive, but she couldn't let the Third Prince discover the strangeness of the place too soon.
With the two deliberately holding back, the critically injured Kong Wu finally found an opportunity to use the secret treasure to escape.
However, the moment the treasure was opened, Yu Yang's palm struck Kong Wu's back. Now, even if he escaped, he was completely unconscious and wouldn't wake up for at least ten days to half a month.
Without a miracle cure, it might have taken even longer for him to regain consciousness.
Before he fell into a coma, Kong Wu was still furious with Tian Lin, that idiot!
It turned out that Kong Wu had discovered this secret place by chance, and the Third Prince used it as a treasure hiding place. Because Wulong Village was relatively close to the capital, he put the stone in a secret room in Wulong Village. After all, only he and Tian Lin could enter that place, so he was not worried about being discovered at all.
They thought everything was foolproof, but unexpectedly, the people from Wulong Village intercepted them.
Kong Wu had no suspicion whatsoever.
Because Tian Lin himself was a bandit who was greedy for money and killed without blinking an eye.
Tian Lin, that brute, is capable of murder and robbery!
Meanwhile, inside the secret realm, Yu Yang and the other person were discussing their next steps.
"Haha, Kong Wu was planted in the western suburban military camp by the Third Prince, in charge of his open army. Wulongzhai is the army he secretly trained. When these two armies fight, the First Prince will take the opportunity to attack. I want to see if this Third Prince is really dead or alive!"
Xia Li felt a sense of exhilaration, as if he were about to avenge a great grudge.
"Alright, it's almost time. Let's hurry and go check on Haifei."
When the two arrived at Li Haifei's location, they were stunned by what they saw.
Outside, all was quiet; inside, everything was neat and tidy, with no signs of a struggle.
The petite and well-behaved Li Haifei was standing on tiptoe, stirring something next to a large pot, her face full of innocence.
A scene of tranquility and peace.
If you ignore the bloodstains on the ground and the human flesh in the pot.
Xia Li immediately had a bad feeling: "Haifei, what are you doing... Where is that bandit leader?"
As soon as Li Haifei saw them, she felt as if she had found her pillar of support. She rolled up her sleeves with a wronged expression and said, "Brother and sister, you're finally here! Look! He beat me up and now I'm covered in bruises."
Yu Yang: "What older brothers and sisters? Aren't they younger brothers and sisters?"
Xia Li: "Then where is he?"
Li Haifei pointed to the pot: "It's here."
Xia Li: ...
"So, was the meat in this pot of soup cut off by this person himself, or was it pieced together from various places?"
Li Haifei said innocently, "Yes, he's a good person. He even wanted to cook soup for me!"
"..."
Angels and demons!
However, she didn't blame Haifei. Tian Lin had been a bandit for over a decade, committing atrocities such as trafficking women and children, arson, murder, and robbery. He deserved his fate.
However, Haifei's actions... were indeed a bit unseemly.
but……
Suddenly, Xia Li thought of something, and his expression changed drastically!
"Haifei, kill him!"
!!!
Then they'll probably need to change their original plan for a two-way battle.
The three of them huddled together again.
Fifteen minutes later...
"kill--"
