(Congratulations on the New Year! Wish all book friends a new year and a new atmosphere! All the best! Thank you to the third young brother of the Tang family for today’s recommendation!)
Beiming Mountain is located in the northwest of Dongchen Empire, not far from Xingyu City.
This mountain range is not particularly tall, but the area is quite vast. There are large and small tribal villages scattered in the mountains. When the Dragon and Tiger Team arrived in a carriage, they stopped in a small market.
The sight in front of them stunned several team members. This market is located in a small town on the east side of the mountains. There are densely packed stalls, the narrow streets are busy with traffic, and various hawking sounds can be heard from everywhere.
"I thought Beiming Mountain was a deep mountain without human habitation!" Several team members couldn't help but murmured in a low voice.
"It's no wonder," Fei Ling said, "If there were no crowds gathering, what evil could the Bei Ming Sect do here? And with more people, it would be easier to hide."
"Let's stay here first and investigate again tomorrow morning to see what ordinary people here know."
Before everyone arrived at a seemingly exquisite and luxurious inn, mortal currency was no longer a problem for them. A low-level spiritual stone could be exchanged for how much real money.
"Waiter! Check in!" Zilong called as soon as he entered the door.
"Oh, you gentlemen! Our house is full today!" The waiter from the first store hurried over and said with a smile.
"Huh? There aren't many people in your hall, why is it full?" Everyone looked at the hall. The tables were basically empty, with only a few warrior-looking men sitting on one or two tables, drinking and chatting.
"I'm really sorry. Not only us, but also several other inns in this town will no longer accept guests!"
"What? What do you mean when you open a store and don't accept customers?"
"What are you making a fuss about! You bastard, if there is no place for you to get out, just get out!" A burly man sitting in the hall became impatient. He put down the wine bottle in his hand with a clang, turned his head and roared at the door.
"Oh? Is this why you don't accept customers?" Fei Ling looked at the warriors with interest. His perception swept over and found that these people were also in the early stages of spiritual enlightenment. It should be that their talents were too poor and there was no hope of building spiritual beings.
They turned to physical training and practiced martial arts, so they were all tall and strong. Such warriors could also cast spiritual energy spells and were much stronger than ordinary mortal warriors. Many nobles were willing to hire them as bodyguards.
"Asshole? You kid is so impatient that you even dare to disrespect me!" The reckless man got angry, and several others turned around when they saw this, looking coldly at the group of children at the door.
"Are you a mercenary group performing a mission, or are you protecting a dignitary?" Zilong asked in a deep voice. They naturally knew the general identities of these people. It seems that something happened in this town. All the inns were occupied by these people.
People occupy it?
"You little brats can ask about my identity?" The reckless man immediately picked up a heavy ax beside him and rushed towards the door quickly.
"Ouch! Master Samurai, please calm down! I'll drive them away now!" The waiter in the shop was shocked, "You guys don't leave quickly!"
"Sir Samurai?" Fei Ling smiled half-heartedly, looking at the reckless man who was rushing towards him.
"Boy, let me run wild!" He roared angrily and struck Feiling head-on with an axe.
Just when it was about to hit, a burst of spiritual energy suddenly burst out from Feiling's body. With a clang, the half-arm-long ax split open, and the spiritual energy stirred up a strong wind, blowing the reckless man into the air.
The man only had time to scream in surprise before he flew up, spun around in the air a few times, and fell heavily to the ground, groaning uncontrollably.
"Ah? Inspector..." The waiter in the shop was frightened when he saw this, and quickly shrank to the corner, looking at the group of children in front of him as if he had seen a ghost.
"Are you students from the Monk Academy?" Another warrior saw this scene and stood up with a surprised look on his face.
"So what?" Zilong knew very well that Fei Ling had just held back, otherwise this reckless man would have been dead long ago. "If you know, be honest!"
"The monks who are here must be here for the reward from the Dongchen Empire, right? Can you please give me a favor to meet my master?" After hearing Zilong's words, the martial artist's attitude changed drastically, and he suddenly became respectful.
The reckless man on the ground suddenly stopped saying anything and pretended to be dead and lay still.
"How did you know?"
"My master ordered us to watch the whole town and find all the monks staying there to discuss important matters together!" The man continued, "In order not to miss a single monk, we made this move and occupied all the inns. We are waiting for you all.
grown ups!"
"Greetings? Isn't this kind of greeting too strange?"
"Immortal masters, please calm down!" The martial artist hurriedly explained, "My master is a great monk at the peak of the Spirit Gathering Realm. He opened a cave in the Beiming Mountains and devoted himself to breaking through the spirit refining. Recently, the Beiming God Sect was wanted for committing evil in the mountains.
It has been uprooted by my master in one fell swoop!"
"Ah? It's been uprooted?"
Everyone was shocked, "Then why didn't he submit the mission to receive the reward? This reward order is not only issued to the monks' academy, but any monk can claim it."
"Here, the master said that he is recruiting monks, and he wants to discuss a major matter together! It just so happens that the reward order is still there, so many monks can come uninvited, which saves a lot of effort..."
"Hmph, ridiculous!" Fei Ling got angry, "Your master really knows how to be clever, and you are not afraid of deceiving us like this and causing public outrage?"
"Master monk, please calm down! My master said that you are here just for the bounty. He can come up with treasures that are much better than the imperial bounty. I guarantee that your trip will be worthwhile!"
"So many of our monks came over, and he invited them all one by one? Your master is very rich! Then why didn't he issue a private mission? How many people have been invited now?"
"Back to the monks, I have only been lucky enough to meet you so far. However, several other towns have come here one after another, and they have all been invited to visit my master!" This warrior is extremely polite and sincere. "
As for releasing the mission... the master has never mentioned it, and the kids don't know about it either."
"No need to say more, let's go! Where is your master now?" Before the other team members could react, Fei Ling spoke.
It seemed that Fei Ling was really angry, and Zilong secretly pursed his lips. But is the owner of this family at the pinnacle of the spirit-gathering realm? Ordinarily Brother Fei Ling shouldn't be afraid, but the other party might have a large number of people. If there is a trap, there will be a trap.
Be careful!
"My lord, my master is in the mountains. Please rest at the inn for one night. Tomorrow morning, I will take you all up the mountain!" When the martial artist heard this, he felt relieved and said, "Servant! Prepare a banquet for us! Flowers for the monks!"
It’s all on our heads!”
"Ah? Yes, yes!" The waiter was dumbfounded by the changes in front of him. He thought these children were playboys, but he didn't expect that they were monks!
"No need, let's go to the room and rest first!" After saying this, everyone followed the waiter upstairs.
The reckless man who had fallen to the ground slowly got up and looked at the others coldly. A trace of unnoticeable ferocity flashed through their eyes.
