As the one-eyed man spoke, Lin Yun stared into his eyes without shifting his gaze away for even half a second.
Although Lin Yun couldn't read minds, he could observe a person's pupils to determine whether they were lying or not. The accuracy of his judgment was as high as ninety-nine percent.
According to Lin Yun's judgment, the one-eyed man in front of him was not lying at all.
Moreover, the one-eyed man was completely intimidated by Lin Yun's aura. He did not dare to lie at all.
After hearing the one-eyed man's words, Lin Yun decisively pulled the one-eyed man out from the wall and threw him to the ground like a piece of trash. Then, he leaped onto the horse.
"Lead the way." Lin Yun spat out these two words coldly, as if he had regained his previous calmness and composure.
The one-eyed man choked when he heard this. "Lead the way? You want to go to our stronghold? "
"If you know, then why don't you hurry up and lead the way?" Lin Yun's voice was starting to show signs of impatience.
After hearing Lin Yun's words, the villagers could not help but gulp. They broke out in a cold sweat for Lin Yun.
"Young hero, you must not go!"
"The Black Wind Stronghold is too dangerous. You'd better not go!"
"That's right. It's too risky for you to go alone!"
Many kind-hearted villagers began to persuade Lin Yun not to take the risk.
After all, Lin Yun had saved them this time. They were also grateful. Although they could not take out anything to repay Lin Yun, they still did not want to see Lin Yun throw away his life.
It was not that they were looking down on Lin Yun. It was because the Black Wind Stronghold was too dangerous.
The Black Wind Stronghold had more than two hundred people. It was the most powerful force within a radius of a hundred miles. No one dared to provoke it.
Although the Black Wind Stronghold had lost more than a hundred people after the mysterious expert's purge a year ago, there were still more than a hundred people left.
In addition, the Black Wind Stronghold had been recruiting people in the past year. They had recruited many evil tyrants who were in cahoots with them. The stronghold had almost returned to its previous scale.
Yet this youth before him actually intended to slaughter his way into the Blackwind Stronghold alone. This was simply too crazy!
It could be said that two fists were no match for four hands. No matter how talented he was and how strong he was, it was impossible for him to defeat two hundred people alone!
Moreover, it was said that the chief of the Blackwind Stockade was also a powerful martial arts expert.
Even that mysterious expert from a year ago, who had charged into the Black Wind Stronghold alone, had gone missing.
Lin Yun completely ignored the well-intentioned advice of the villagers and insisted on letting the one-eyed man lead the way.
In the end, under the grateful gazes of the villagers, Lin Yun left the village with the one-eyed man.
Looking at Lin Yun's receding figure, the villagers could only sigh helplessly, feeling sorry for Lin Yun in their hearts.
…
After an hour of traversing the mountains and ridges, Lin Yun was brought by the one-eyed man to a small mountain with dense forests.
A large wooden gate stood in the middle of the mountain path. The gate had no wooden planks, only a bare doorframe.
The three striking words "Blackwind Stronghold" were carved on the wooden planks at the top of the doorframe. The craftsmanship was extremely crude, and there was no sense of artistry to speak of.
After entering the gate and taking a few steps forward, one could see a few wooden buildings halfway up the mountain.
These buildings were definitely the Blackwind Stronghold's lair.
Under the one-eyed man's lead, Lin Yun followed the mountain path up. Not long after, he met four bandits coming down the mountain.
These four bandits all looked fierce and incomparably valiant, like wild beasts in the mountains.
And their realms were all high level Martial Disciples. When they saw the one-eyed man, they all began to tease him.
"One-eyed, why did you come back alone? Where are the other brothers? "
"Eh? Who is that youth behind you? Don't tell me you're planning to give him to the chief? "
"The chief picked a virgin to bring back, but you picked a youth for the chief. Do you think your life is too long? Are you tired of living?!"
Three of the four were teasing the one-eyed man. Only the man with the knife scar on his face was trembling and curled up at the back. He had an expression as if he had seen a ghost. He was extremely afraid of Lin Yun's appearance.
This was because he realized to his horror that the youth in front of him was none other than the mysterious youth who had asked his group of brothers for directions!
Lin Yun also noticed that this scar-faced man was the leader of the group of bandits that had robbed the merchants before, and he had happened to bump into them.
Lin Yun's gaze fell on the knife-scarred man like a sword, causing him to collapse to the ground in fright.
Hearing the commotion behind them, the three of them all looked back, just in time to see the knife-scarred man lying on the ground.
At this moment, the knife-scarred man was trembling in fear. He pointed at Lin Yun and spat out with a face full of fear: "He, he, he … he … he is … is …"
"Him?" The three of them turned to look at Lin Yun and realized that Lin Yun was just a very ordinary youth. There was nothing to be afraid of.
"Knife Scar, why are you trembling? What is there to be afraid of with this kid? "
"Hahaha, look at your scared expression, it's really funny!"
"Even a kid can scare you to this extent. You are really a disgrace to our Black Wind Stronghold!"
The three of them unscrupulously laughed at the knife-scarred man and looked at him with eyes full of disdain.
As for the knife-scarred man, he frantically turned around and ran up the mountain. As he ran, he shouted: "There is a strong enemy coming up the mountain! Hurry and inform the stronghold leader! "
Hearing the knife-scarred man's words, the three of them laughed even more unscrupulously and even directly turned into holding their bellies.
"Strong enemy? Hahaha, I am dying of laughter. Where is the strong enemy? Why don't you find him for me to see? "
"Knife Scar must have taken the wrong medicine today. Seeing a kid in such a state, he still imagined that the kid was a strong enemy."
"I think he is …"
Before the third person could finish his sentence, he directly choked.
This was because in that instant, a blurry golden light flashed past his face and shot at the knife-scarred man who was running up the mountain at a speed that the naked eye could not catch.
In the blink of an eye, the golden light hit the back of the knife-scarred man's head and instantly pierced through his head.
The knife-scarred man's forward movement instantly stopped. Fresh blood and brain matter flew out from the bloody hole in his head and scattered on the stone steps that extended upwards.
Following that, the knife-scarred man stiffly fell forward on the stone steps and no longer moved.
The scene suddenly fell into a deathly silence.
The three of them were instantly dumbfounded and their expressions were completely petrified. It was as if they had seen the most inconceivable thing in the world.
As for the one-eyed man, his entire body was trembling in fear and a foul smell of urine spread from his lower body.
Only then did they clearly see that the thing that had pierced through the knife-scarred man's head was actually a gold coin!
After a long while, the three people who had previously ridiculed the one-eyed man and the knife-scarred man finally turned their rusty necks and slowly turned their heads to look at Lin Yun.
In that instant, the person they saw was still a very ordinary youth.
