Zheng Xian and the black mist figure talked for a while. They seemed to have come to an agreement. When the black mist figure disappeared into the distance, Zheng Xian stood up and returned to the valley thoughtfully.
"Father." A few young men were already waiting at the entrance of the valley. One of them, a handsome man with antlers on his head, came up to him.
"The Wang Family in the county capital … we didn't find the item."
Zheng Xian frowned. "Where's Wang Rong?"
"He committed suicide by poisoning himself when we barged in. Only his son escaped, "the man replied hurriedly.
"Investigate! Send people to seal all the entrances and exits. We can't let that kid escape with the item, "Zheng Xian said coldly with a frown.
"Yes!" the man replied. "By the way, the Wang Family's in-laws, Zhang Qian's family, might be hiding a fugitive."
"Bring some men with you and ask them to hand him over! Do they think they'll be fine after offending me in the Autumn Moon County? The item must be left behind. Don't give face to anyone. Open them up if anyone dares to stop us! "Zheng Xian said coldly.
"Father, if the three sects …" The man was in a difficult position.
"I'll talk to the three sects. I can't say for other places, but in the Autumn Moon County, there aren't many people who dare to disrespect me. "Zheng Xian looked at his son, turned around, and left.
…
In the forest.
A teenager in dirty clothes was quietly lying in the grass, not daring to move at all. His attire still showed that he had once been born in a wealthy family, but at this moment, all the signs of wealth were covered by mud and grass.
The teenager had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. He had a scholarly temperament, and was obviously a young master who hadn't suffered much. But now, he could only hold back his tears and hide in the grass, not daring to even breathe loudly.
"Where is it? I heard something just now. "
"Could it be a hare or a rat?"
"Any news from Team Two?"
He could faintly hear people shouting in the distance. In the dark jungle, the young man could not see anything clearly. He could only see pairs of glowing green eyes floating by in the distance.
He knew that the Black Deer Tribe was searching for him.
"Don't worry …" a palm-sized bamboo rat beside the young man whispered with its round belly. "I've smeared the unique smell of mixed feces on you three times. Even the best hound wouldn't be able to sniff out your location."
The bamboo rat's two sesame-sized eyes stared at the Black Deer Tribe members in the darkness.
"I'm not afraid … I'm not afraid … Thank you, Brother Qiang … If it weren't for you …" As the youth spoke, he thought of his grandparents and parents who had been exterminated. He couldn't help but feel sad, and tears rolled down his cheeks uncontrollably.
"Sigh … We've been brothers for a lifetime, and you're already like this. If I don't save you, who will?" The bamboo rat sighed helplessly. "The Black Deer Race is a tyrant in the Autumn Moon County. Almost no one dares to mess with them. The only forces that aren't afraid of them are the three sects, but they won't protect you for no reason."
"I know …" The youth wiped away his tears. "I plan to go to the prefecture city. The Black Deer Tribe can cover the sky with one hand, but the prefecture city is different from here. They can't reach that far!" A trace of determination appeared on his face.
"Have you made up your mind?" the bamboo rat asked seriously.
"Yes, please help me, Brother Qiang!" The youth nodded seriously. "Also, please help me find a place to hide that thing, Brother Qiang."
"You can keep it for yourself." The bamboo rat shook its head. "That's the key treasure that destroyed your family. If you don't want it, you can use it as a bargaining chip in exchange for revenge against the Black Deer Tribe."
"I … I'll think about it!" The youth nodded.
"Alright, let's go. This place isn't safe anymore. The Black Deer Tribe still has some capable people who can catch up to your Brother Qiang's leg hair. I really can't underestimate the people of this world. "The bamboo rat sighed.
"Brother Qiang …" The youth wanted to say something but stopped.
"Don't talk! I know what you want to say! "The bamboo rat raised a paw and turned its head away. "Since I, Zhu Wenqiang, promised to save you from the county, I will definitely do it."
"Brother Qiang …" The youth's eyes became wet again.
He was born with a special ability that allowed him to understand the languages of birds and beasts. Because of this, he often played with all kinds of animals in the forest. Once, he accidentally became the disciple of a bamboo rat named Zhu Wenqiang. The two of them lived a carefree and happy life in the forest.
However, they did not expect trouble to fall from the sky. The Wang Clan accidentally obtained an item, but it caused the entire Wang Clan to face a calamity.
If not for Zhu Wenqiang's warning, he would not have been able to escape this disaster.
"There seems to be some movement over here." Suddenly, a few Black Deer Tribe members slowly looked in the direction of the youth.
"I'll go take a look."
A few men wielding knives pushed aside the grass and slowly approached them.
Looking at the approaching Black Deer Tribe members, the youth's eyes were filled with deep hatred. "Just you wait … One day … I, Wang Yuhui, will return! The hatred of extermination is absolutely irreconcilable! "
Puff!
Suddenly, there was a muffled sound. The Black Deer Tribe members in front of the youth fell to the ground. There were no screams or howls of pain. The fallen Black Deer Tribe members did not make a sound, as if they were dead.
"It's here, right?" A low, calm male voice came from behind the youth.
"Yes, Sect Master," another man replied respectfully.
"Then go. Don't let any of them escape," the first man said indifferently.
"Yes, Sect Master." Several voices sounded at the same time.
Before the youth Wang Yuhui could react, he saw a blurry figure flying out from the distance to his right, pouncing at the Black Deer Tribe members who were still searching.
"Who is it!"
"Ahhh!"
In the dark forest, only a series of short screams could be heard. The screams continued to spread into the distance. Clearly, the Black Deer Tribe had fallen and were easily slaughtered by these mysterious people.
"Let's go, someone even more ruthless is coming!" Zhu Wenqiang trembled and wanted to escape with Wang Yuhui.
"No, Big Brother Qiang, go. I want to see how the Black Deer Tribe will die!" Wang Yuhui was shocked at first, but then overjoyed. His eyes flashed with deep hatred.
"You …" Zhu Wenqiang sighed helplessly. "Fine, I'll take you with me."
…
"Splat."
His head flew up and blood spurted out like a fountain, splattering in all directions.
"It's the Thousand Sun Sect!? You're crazy!! "
At the entrance of the Black Deer Tribe's Valley of the Deer King, a heavy black stone gate blocked the Thousand Sun Sect's way. A large group of the Black Deer Tribe's strongest Golden Eagle tribe guards stood in front of the gate.
Chief Zheng Xian's face was ashen. He stared coldly at the young man who was surrounded by people not far away. Between the two groups, a few elites of the Thousand Sun Sect were slowly sheathing their blades on the clothes of the corpses.
"Lu Sheng, Sect Master Lu, what is the meaning of this? We were planning to treat you well and give you gifts for your visit in the middle of the night, but you killed our people for no reason and invaded the entrance of the Valley of the Deer King! Even if we report this to the prefecture capital, you must give us an explanation! "
"Explanation?" Lu Sheng was playing with an exquisite crystal bead in his hand. When he heard this, he turned to Elder Shi and smiled. "Did you hear that? He wants an explanation."
"Then give him one." Elder Shi was very cooperative, and showed a sinister smile. "The Black Deer Tribe hid spies from the Devil World, and bribed the generals of the prefecture capital to rebel. They deserve to die, and should be killed according to the law!" He loudly announced the reason for their attack.
"Bullsh * t!!" Zheng Xian was shaking with anger. He had nothing to do with those bastards from the Devil World, let alone bribing the generals of the prefecture capital. Plotting a rebellion?
At most, there was some secret agreement, but there was no such thing as a deal. He had nothing better to do, and now he wanted to rebel?
"If you want to blame someone, you can always find a pretext! You're framing Sect Master Lu without any evidence! You're purposely trying to smear the Black Deer Tribe's reputation! "Zheng was enraged and cursed loudly.
"You mean I'm wrongly accusing you?" Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow.
"Is that not the case?!" Zheng Xian wanted to continue cursing, but was stopped by a middle-aged woman beside him. She only had two small white antlers on her head. She wore a luxurious robe and had an extraordinary aura.
"Sect Master Lu, please think of the consequences before you act. The Black Deer Tribe has always been law-abiding. We've always been loyal to the Great Yin, the Imperial Court, and the world. Don't you think you're going too far? "
Lu Sheng smiled, and said, "Actually, I'm not an unreasonable person. However, I've recently received news that the Black Deer Tribe's Divine Weapon, Xuan Mist, has colluded with the enemy and is hiding Devil Generals. If you're willing to hand over the Divine Weapon, I'm willing to report this to the court and ask for leniency. "
'This is too unsightly …'
Elder Shi and King of Shadows' mouths twitched. They couldn't bear to look at this. His Sect Master was really lying through his teeth.
Not all Divine Weapons could become Rogue Divine Weapons. Divine Weapons and Devil Blades that weren't Rogue Divine Weapons didn't have high intelligence, let alone colluding with the enemy and hiding Devil Generals …
If you wanted the Divine Weapon, just say it. You should've found a better reason. Even if the Black Deer Tribe wanted to submit, they couldn't …
"This is too much!!!" Zheng Xian, the Black Deer Tribe's chief, finally exploded. "Lu Sheng! Thousand Sun Sect!! You!! You!! You!! "
Wang Yuhui, who was hiding in the distance, was so happy that his whole body shook.
"You deserve this! You deserve this!? " The ecstasy and contortion on his face mixed together, forming a strange and indescribable expression.
"Sigh …" Bamboo Rat Zhu Wenqiang let out a long sigh. He could understand Wang Yuhui's feelings, but what he didn't know was that the Thousand Sun Sect had always been conservative. Now that they were suddenly looking for trouble with the Black Deer Tribe, there must be more to it than meets the eye.
At this time, there was another change in the distance.
There weren't many people from the Thousand Sun Sect, but they were all elites. They surrounded the entrance to the Deer King Valley.
Elder Stone was holding a horned, hideous head covered in blood.
"This is the Devil General we just killed in the Deer God Valley of the Black Deer Tribe!" he said in a clear voice, his tone cold.
"Slander!! It's the Deer King Valley!! The last time the Deer King Valley opened, not even a single member of my tribe entered! "Zheng Xian's veins bulged, and his blood boiled. His eyes were almost on fire. The other party didn't even know the name of their territory, and dared to slander them right in front of their faces. This was …
"Alright, enough with the nonsense." Lu Sheng was getting annoyed. Attacking the Black Deer Tribe was just a random excuse. There was no point in arguing like this. "Do it!"
"Yes."
Elder Stone and the King of Shadows received the order at the same time. The elites from the Thousand Sun Sect all smiled. Lu Sheng had promised them a lot of benefits before coming here, and Sect Leader Lu Sheng would take care of most of it. They were just following orders. Before they left, they made it clear that it was up to them to get as much as they wanted.
"Kill!" The Black Deer Tribe finally lost all hope when they saw that the situation wasn't good. They led the charge.
