In this vast house, the commotion caused by Cheng Mengying was like a pebble thrown into the sea. It only caused a slight ripple and quickly disappeared without a trace.
At the same time, in the center of the residence, in the most grandiose room, the young master was sitting opposite an old man with a frown on his face. There were two cups of steaming hot tea on the table, and the two of them seemed to be discussing something.
The old man looked rather old. Not only was his sideburns white, but there were also many silver strands in his hair. However, his body was very straight, and his eyes were emitting waves of light. From time to time, there would be a soul-stirring look in his eyes. The hand that was holding the teacup was still steady and strong, and it did not tremble at all.
"If I remember correctly, you should have been staying in the headquarters in Yaoxian Prefecture. Why did you suddenly come here?" The old man put down the teacup in his hand, raised his head, and stared sharply into the Young Master's eyes as he asked expressionlessly.
This old man was the Young Master's father, who was also the Great Master of the entire bandit group. The mountain bandits that were wreaking havoc in Liuxian Prefecture and the arrogant horse bandits in Baxian Prefecture were all subordinates of this group. Their power was almost everywhere in the entire Immortal Cultivation World.
As he rarely showed his face, the Great Master had always been a very mysterious figure. Apart from a few important figures, no one else knew what he looked like. They only knew that he was an existence that people looked up to.
"Father, I was forced to come here to seek refuge. I was really forced to do so. I have nowhere to go!" The Young Master seemed to be a little afraid of the Great Master. He lowered his head and answered gloomily.
Usually, in the headquarters, it was the Young Master who dealt with matters. The Big Master rarely gave any instructions. Now that he had lost the headquarters and left in defeat, the Young Master was actually very nervous in his heart. He was afraid that his father would reprimand him in anger.
However, if he did not report it, his father would definitely be even angrier. So, after thinking about it, the Young Master chose to come over and tell the truth. Perhaps he could gain some sympathy.
"What happened?" The Great Master's expression became even more unhappy. He knocked on the table and asked, "Such a big headquarters was left for you. Why do you have nowhere to go?"
"It's all because of those troublemakers!" The Young Master waved his fist fiercely and gritted his teeth as he said, "If that little brat Xiao Chen hadn't destroyed the mountain bandits' hideout in Liuxian County and the headquarters in Yaoxian County, and the Horse Bandits' power had been destroyed by that little girl, Cheng Mengying, I wouldn't have fled back here in such a hurry!"
"What? Even that Nangong guy failed? Looks like this brat Xiao Chen really has some skills. "The Great Leader was slightly stunned and looked a little surprised.
"That's right! Fortunately, I placed my eyes outside in advance, so he didn't catch me red-handed. " The Young Master's expression was a little distorted as he said fiercely, "Fortunately, I caught that little girl, Cheng Mengying. When I have some free time later, I will definitely torture her and take revenge on her!"
The Great Leader was slightly surprised, but his expression quickly turned cold. When he heard the Young Master's words, he reprimanded him in a deep voice, "Don't think about such nonsense. We have too many things to do. How can we have so much time to play around with a little girl?"
"Yes, I know my mistake. Please forgive me, father." The Young Master quivered and immediately lowered his head to admit his mistake. His back was drenched in cold sweat.
The Great Leader nodded slightly and didn't reprimand him anymore. Instead, he asked indifferently, "Have you dealt with the Horse Bandits' headquarters? Although this is only a large branch, you should know that all the important research is carried out in this place. If Xiao Chen finds traces of this place, the consequences will be unimaginable! "
"You can rest assured about this. I have already asked people to destroy all the relevant information. All the subordinates have also been transferred here with me this time. No matter what, Xiao Chen will not be able to find the location of this branch!" The Young Master immediately nodded and guaranteed confidently.
"That's good. Don't worry about it too much. I have other things for you later." The Great Leader's expression softened slightly as he instructed indifferently.
"Thank you for your understanding, father. I will remember your teachings." The Young Master bowed respectfully. He hesitated for a moment and asked again, "That … Father, may I ask if we should send more masters to get rid of Xiao Chen?"
"Xiao Chen, this brat …" The Great Leader's vigorous and powerful fingers knocked on the table a few times. He murmured with a somewhat dignified expression, "As far as I know, Elder Nangong is already at the Peak of the Mysterious Ascension Stage. I didn't expect that even he …"
"Yes! I don't know what kind of luck Xiao Chen has. His cultivation actually improved so fast! " The Young Master continued the conversation and sighed sincerely, "I guess we can only send Mountain Opening Stage masters over this time. By the way, we should also clean up the Burning Sky Faction. Those bandits took away all the storage in our mountain bandits' hiding place. We can take them back to make up for our recent losses."
From the Young Master's point of view, now that the Horse Bandits and mountain bandits could no longer be dispatched, their income would definitely decrease a lot. Therefore, they had to take back all the resources from before. He had completely forgotten that those spirit crystals and heavenly treasures were also snatched from others!
However, to the Young Master's surprise, the Great Leader did not immediately agree to his suggestion. Instead, he rubbed his temples and pondered for a while. Then, he slowly shook his head and said, "What you said … I'm afraid it won't work for the time being."
The Young Master was stunned. Before he could ask, the Great Leader explained, "It's not that easy to invite Mountain Opening Stage masters. There are only a few of them in the entire Immortal Cultivation World. If we want to invite them, we will definitely have to pay a huge price. Moreover, our main focus is on collecting spirit crystals now. It's impossible to spend a lot of effort to deal with Xiao Chen's group."
"But, if we keep Xiao Chen alive, it will definitely be a big problem. He is already an Mountain Opening Stage master now. If we don't get rid of him as soon as possible, I reckon there will be endless troubles in the future!" The Young Master said with a face full of worry.
The Young Master's heart was filled with hatred towards Xiao Chen. He couldn't wait to get rid of this fellow immediately. Even in his dreams, he wished that he could kill him. However, he had no way to deal with it now.
Although the Young Master's organization was very large in scale and usually had sufficient connections and resources, what the organization lacked the most was a powerful Immortal Cultivator expert!
