At this moment, Li Goudan was like a completely different person. He didn't have that silly look anymore. The determination in his voice made Xiao Chen stunned.
In order to not make things difficult for his father, Li Goudan would never look for his father because of his own matters. He would rather be beaten and bullied than put his father in danger. This was Li Goudan's true thoughts.
How could you say that such a person was silly? At this moment, Xiao Chen seemed to have gained a new understanding of Li Goudan. Perhaps this seemingly foolish fatty was not as foolish as he appeared to be. He also had his own perseverance, and he would endure silently for the sake of those who were important to him.
Li Goudan's words weren't an alarmist. He could even pat his chest and say that if Li Goudan really looked for Li Fang for his own matters every few days, and Li Fang frequently stood up for Li Goudan, then it wouldn't take long for Li Fang's doomsday to arrive.
These villains in the Fengyue Mountain Range didn't have any rules in their hearts. If one wanted to become a leader here, one had to rely on strength. Naturally, the stronger one could become the leader. But at the same time, there were no restrictions, so it was very common for the subordinates to rebel against their superiors.
Once Li Fang angered everyone because of Li Goudan's matter, one could imagine the consequences. Moreover, there were still two vice-chiefs in the Eight Direction Stronghold. Wouldn't they want to kill Li Fang and replace him?
Therefore, even though Li Fang was the chief of the Eight Direction Stronghold, he was actually treading on thin ice. His subordinates were a group of demons who killed without spitting out the bones. If he wasn't careful, he might be devoured. Needless to say, he and Li Goudan would die without a burial place.
It could be said that Li Goudan saw through everything very clearly. That was why he chose to endure. There was no other way. Other than enduring, what else could he do?
He couldn't help but have a higher opinion of Li Goudan. After that, Xiao Chen asked Li Goudan and his father how they came to the Fengyue Mountain Range.
In the face of Xiao Chen's inquiry, Li Goudan didn't hide anything and answered truthfully.
When Li Goudan was just born, Li Goudan's family was still living in Tianyue Prefecture. Moreover, they were doing quite well. Li Fang held a position in the local City Lord's Mansion as a commander.
However, the good times didn't last long. Because of a coincidence, the young master of the City Lord's Mansion took a fancy to Li Goudan's mother and used some underhanded methods to forcefully possess her.
After that, because Li Goudan's mother was ashamed and too ashamed to face Li Fang, she committed suicide. After knowing about this, Li Fang was naturally heartbroken. Without saying anything, he furiously killed that young master from the City Lord's Mansion.
However, in this way, Li Fang naturally made a big mistake and was wanted. He had no choice but to hide in the Tianyue Prefecture for several years. After countless life-and-death escapes, Li Fang had no choice but to enter the Fengyue Mountain Range with Doggie Li and stayed there for several decades.
Li Goudan was very clearly aware that if it wasn't for him, his father wouldn't have fled at all, nor would his father be able to continue living in this world. It was precisely because of him that Li Fang acted like a vicious dog and tried every possible means to survive. Moreover, this sort of survival wasn't for himself but for Li Goudan.
As his father, Li Fang's thoughts were very simple, and it was to allow Li Goudan to continue living.
When he heard Li Goudan talk about their family, Xiao Chen sighed lightly. At the same time, he silently made a decision in his heart. Once this matter was over, he would bring both of them back to Tianfeng Shengzong. With Xiao Chen's identity, it wasn't difficult for him to do this.
Moreover, Li Fang was a Dao Emperor Realm expert. It couldn't be any easier for him to become a powerless deacon in Tianfeng Shengzong. As for Li Goudan, it might be a little difficult for him to become a disciple of Tianfeng Shengzong, but it wouldn't be a problem for him to go to the Tianqi Sect. Even Li Fang could go to the Tianqi Sect to become an elder. It was much better than staying in Tianfeng Shengzong.
Xiao Chen secretly decided in his heart, but he didn't say it out loud.
As they chatted along the way, the three of them finally arrived at the Octagon Stronghold.
From afar, the Octagon Stronghold looked like a stronghold built in a ravine. The surroundings were casually piled up with stones to form a short wall. At the same time, a small city gate was wide open.
Through the city gate, one could see the situation in the Octagon Stronghold. It was muddy and not paved with limestone. Simple wooden houses were scattered randomly in the stronghold.
"Big Brother Xiao Chen, let's go." Along the way, Li Goudan also got to know Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen nodded slightly when he heard his words. Then, the three of them strode into the Octagon Stronghold.
Along the way, Xiao Chen felt that the Octagon Stronghold was dirty, messy, and poor.
Dirty was unhygienic. Filth could be seen everywhere in the stronghold. Moreover, it was mixed in the muddy streets. Waves of foul stench drifted with the wind.
It was simply like a rat's nest. Moreover, not only was the environment and hygiene extremely poor, but Xiao Chen had already seen no less than ten fights after just walking through one street.
These fights weren't ordinary fights that stopped after a certain point. It was a true life and death fight. If there was a disagreement, they would fight with blades in hand.
At the same time, not only were there battles everywhere, corpses were everywhere as well. Every ten meters or so on the street, one could see corpses lying on the ground. No one cared about them, and no one collected them. They were just left to lie there and rot, to the point where they became one with the mud.
Gu Lingyao didn't seem to be used to the environment of the Octagon Stronghold. She just followed beside Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen silently squeezed her little hand gently, indicating that she didn't need to be too nervous.
Along the way, the people on both sides of the street looked at Xiao Chen and Li Goudan with unfriendly expressions. Their eyes were like looking at prey.
Without a doubt, if Li Goudan wasn't beside them, these guys would have already surrounded Xiao Chen and Li Goudan.
Unfamiliar faces were like sheep in the Fengyue Mountain Range.
Xiao Chen didn't care about these people's stares. He had secretly observed the cultivation of these guys. Basically, none of them had surpassed the Tao Validation Realm, so they couldn't be considered as experts.
However, what surprised Xiao Chen was that the population of the Octagon Stronghold was a little shocking. The street that they had just walked through was almost packed with people. The density of the population was so high that it wasn't inferior to the big cities in the outside world.
He was a little shocked, but he soon found the answer to his shock. Under Li Goudan's lead, Xiao Chen and the other two came to the center of the Octagon Stronghold. It was a completely different world from the outer area that they had just passed through.
The ground was no longer littered with corpses, and the air was no longer filled with an unbearable stench. Even the streets were paved with simple bluestone flooring. Compared to the outer area, this place could be called heaven.
