Chapter Eighteen: Pang Tian Shan

  The slogan shouted by the disciples of the Tianyi Gang has changed six or seven times with the changing times. At first, it was "Justice shakes the sky, for the people to eliminate harm", then it became "Brothers unite, their power breaks through gold", and after a few more years, it changed again to "Heavenly horses gallop freely, wind and clouds thousands of miles away". And in recent years, after Ma Qianjun seized full control of the gang, it was simply changed to "Ma Qianjun, unmatched in the world!"

  The disciples of the Tiandihui are now shouting slogans such as "Yue Ma Qian Jun, Wu Xia Wu Shuang" and "Yue Ma Qian Jun, One Unified Jianghu", while tightly gripping their swift knives in hand, scanning passersby with a gaze that can kill.

  For ordinary people in Linjiang County, the Tianyi Gang's headquarters had always been a place they kept their distance from. Normally, there were many black-clad disciples patrolling with knives, not to mention that for these two days, the Tianyi Gang seemed to have gone mad, with guards stationed every three steps and sentries every five steps. At the slightest conflict, they would slash at each other with their knives, and all one could do was secretly say in their heart: "The Tianyi Gang is formidable!"

  For the disciples of the Tiandihui, they appear to be powerful and intimidating on the surface, but in reality, they are anxious and uncertain. Deep down, they have only one thought: "This time, our sect is probably in big trouble!"

  They had heard some scattered news that a young man from Linjiazhuang, who was not noticeable at all, was actually the Wulin Demon Head who had lived for unknown years. When Liu Suizhen killed someone, he would have three heads and six arms, and his hands would hold sixteen kinds of weapons. After killing someone, he would cut the person into eighteen pieces alive, and then roast them over a small fire after cutting them into eighteen pieces.

  This time, not only did the famous Fei Tian Shuang Ling and Ji Lie Xiong fall into their hands, but even the Tian Jie Pang family, a powerful force from across the river, suffered greatly, losing at least 300-400 men. Although our sect's losses were fewer, we still lost around 70-80 people.

  These words were so convincing that the ordinary disciples of the Tianyi Sect grasped their single knives tightly at all times, fearing that this several-hundred-year-old great demon would suddenly kill his way into the county town and slaughter them until the rivers ran red with blood. Although Ma Qianjun repeatedly came out to comfort them, dozens of people still pretended to be ill and escaped back home.

  Even Ma Qianjun felt that he had gotten into big trouble, and suddenly a strong martial artist appeared in the county. He stood in the courtyard of the Tong Mansion again, explaining the actual situation to the brothers of the Tianyi Gang: "This time, during the Luoxing campaign, our gang only suffered minor setbacks against the Tianjie Pang family, losing only a few people..."

  He said with great pain: "This time, the setback, all the responsibility is borne by me, Ma Qianjun. You should know that at that time, my elite troops intercepted a group of more than 100 bandits from Liu's gang and gave them a severe blow, killing many of them. Unexpectedly, at the critical moment of victory or defeat, the Peng family's troops suddenly changed sides in front of our formation, and the elite of our Tianyi Society faced being attacked from both front and back. With quick decision-making, we broke out of the encirclement and returned with all our forces intact, leaving behind only a dozen pieces of equipment..."

  Pang Jiaolong, who was in charge of the Tianma Gang's headquarters, was furious when he heard Ma Qianjun's nonsense. He had been frustrated twice and according to the reports from the few people who escaped back to the Pang family, it was all the responsibility of these useless people under Ma Qianjun. But unexpectedly, Ma Qianjun pushed all the blame onto the Pang family.

  In Linjiang County, the Pang family, although a powerful force, couldn't get rid of Guo Yinghua without relying on the Tianyi gang's local connections. However, things took an unexpected turn when these local gangs shifted all the blame onto the Pang family. Just thinking about this made Pang Xianglong furious: "Ma Qianjun, I'll remember this debt, a gentleman takes revenge, even if it's ten years later!"

  Just as he thought of this, he heard a thunderous voice outside: "Who dares to speak ill of the Pang family? Get out here!"

  Pang Jiaolong jumped up and shouted repeatedly: "Master! Master!"

  A sharp and powerful middle-aged man appeared in Ma Qianjun's eyes for the first time, wearing a golden brocade robe, majestic and imposing. Behind him followed dozens of fully armed warriors and more than a dozen Taoist priests wearing Taoist robes. However, all these people put together did not exert as much pressure on Ma Qianjun as this middle-aged man did.

  "Pang Tian Shan?" Ma Qianjun blurted out the name: "You are Pang Tian Shan!"

  That's right, this person is a foundation-building cultivator, compared to these warriors who can only live slightly longer than ordinary people, this Pong Tian Shan has a lifespan of 240 years, and also has earth-shakingly powerful Dao techniques, not to mention that behind him stands an incredibly powerful Tianji Pong family.

  "That's right, I'm Pang Tian Shan!"

  Pang Jiaolong's eyes were about to well up with tears: "Master, I'm too ashamed to face you, Tianming and Qingbai have both fallen!"

  "I know!" Pang Tian Shan said with a fierce tone: "I already know! Ma Qian Jun, quickly hand over those cowardly rabbits who abandoned our Pang family in times of crisis!"

  This is a slap in the face to Ma Qianjun, but Ma Qianjun really can't afford to get angry. This Pang Tian Shan is an old-fashioned foundation-building cultivator, the master of the Pang family at the edge of the sky, a true dragon who has crossed the river.

  If it were twenty years ago when he was vigorous and brave, he would have dared to fight against Pang Tian Shan. However, he no longer had the ferocity of his youth, so he could only beg for mercy: "Master Pang, this is an internal matter of our Tiande Gang, how to deal with him is our gang's private affair, but I will definitely give you an explanation!"

  "Alright!" Pang Tian Shan also knew that he still needed Ma Qian Jun's cooperation for now: "Master Ma, I'll give you this face, but you must give me an explanation! Of course, if you help the Pang family, I, Pang Tian Shan, will definitely reward you heavily!"

  He said with great authority: "Don't look at me as just a foundation-building cultivator, but when it comes to Golden Core cultivators who are extremely close friends, there are at least three or four of them. Your matter is on my mind!"

  Ma Qianjun felt a lot more at ease as soon as he heard this, his management over the years was precisely to turn Tianyi Gang into Cloud Middle Ma Family: "You and I had some minor friction before, but don't take it to heart, Brother Tianshan will arrive soon, those small thieves can only surrender! However, there is a fugitive named Liu Suoyun this time, with exceptional martial arts skills, I'm afraid the elite of your esteemed residence will have to put in some effort!"

  Pang Tian Shan nodded slightly, and he said to the person beside him: "I've rushed to Yun Zhong this time, and I've already heard this name dozens of times by my ear. I didn't expect that such a small place would actually have a martial arts dual cultivation master, it's really rare!"

  It was nothing compared to the elite power brought by his side, let alone a mere martial arts dual cultivator like Liu Suizhen. The team led by Pang Tianshan could be said to be the essence of the Tianji Pang family: "But you can't be careless, before the great change, the four evil wolves of the Gu family were also unknown!"

  The change of the Gao family that year can be said to be the most hated thing in the Tianji Pong family. The Tianji Pong family has been operating for hundreds of years, and it was not easy to have such a situation, but unexpectedly, they suffered a big loss at the hands of the local tyrant, so outsiders all called the four members of the Gao family "four dogs", while only the Pong family called them "four wolves".

  Just thinking of those four evil wolves, Pang Tian Shan reminded them once again: "The lesson from those four evil wolves, you must all remember, we may have luckily won against the Gu family, but the Gu family's four evil wolves, aside from Xing Ruoye being personally killed by me, still have Xu Zhaori hiding in Tianma Yuan, Zheng Wanpeng fleeing to Mo Bei, and Yan Ruojiang's whereabouts unknown. However, as long as they offended our Pang family, no matter where they escape to, we will exterminate them all!"

  His mouth was full of murderous intent: "This time is no exception! Send someone to burn that Linjiazhuang for me, leaving nothing behind!"

  He had just opened his mouth, and Pang Jiaolong could only reply with a difficult expression: "Master, that scoundrel Liu Suizhen has burned down his own mansion to the ground, leaving nothing behind! Even the remnants of the Lin family's gang have all fled!"

  "You think you can just walk away after offending the Pong family? You're underestimating the power of the Pong family!" Pong Tian Shan was ruthless: "Immediately transport 180 stones of coarse salt to Linjiazhuang and spread it all over the fields. Put enough medicine in the wells and springs so that the entire Linjiazhuang is not only thoroughly cleaned, but also uninhabitable!"

  Pang Tian Shan's plan was so vicious that it couldn't be more vicious, and the entire Linjiazhuang would probably not be able to live for a hundred years. As soon as he heard his words, the righteous hearts of the people present at the scene couldn't help but feel a chill, knowing that this kind of vicious person was not worth offending. Pang Tian Shan continued to deploy the capture of Liu Suizhen and Gu Yinghua: "Brothers from Yunzhong County, I am Pang Tian Shan from Tianji. This time, I came from Tianji to capture Gu Yinghua, Huo Qiushu, and Liu Suizhen. Thanks to the great help of Master Ma, I am willing to offer a generous reward!"

  He opened his mouth and offered a reward that shook the entire Tianyi gang: "For those rebels hiding in Linjiazhuang, 500 taels of silver for each one!"

  The Tianyi Bang gang was shocked by this number, those were just ordinary young people from Linjiazhuang, one of them actually had a reward of 500,000 yuan, isn't that a bit too exaggerated?

  But the astonishing reward is yet to come: "As for Huo Qian and Liu Suiyun, those two thieves who killed many of my family's elite troops, I will never forgive those dogs who offended my family. Therefore, the reward for these two dog thieves is 10,000 taels of silver, dead or alive!"

  A reward of one million dollars, this is almost the first time in the history of Yunzhong County, the whole scene was blown up, everyone quickly calculated how much grain, houses and gardens could be bought with this amount of money, even the most experienced helpers felt that this reward was truly stunning.

  "As for Gu Yinghua this thieving woman!" Pang Tian Mountain continued to say: "I'll pay 300 million yuan! 300 million, whoever catches this thieving woman, this 300 million will be theirs!"

  He took the opportunity to guarantee everyone a sentence: "Don't worry about me, Pong Tian Shan, not being able to pay this sum of money. This time I have brought 300 pieces of Xianjia Ling Stone from the Sky Boundary!"

  This is the true foundation of a Xian family, effortlessly mobilizing 300 Xian family spirit stones, but for Ma Qianjun, he values more the elite team brought by Pang Tian Mountain.

  It's said that the Pang family suffered greatly from the Gu family's change, but the strength they revealed today is something Ma Qianjun can't even catch up to. In an instant, they were able to mobilize so many warriors at the Isolated Mountain, Yuan Dragon, and Bone Refining realms, as well as at least fifteen Qi Refining cultivators, not to mention having Pang Tian Shan, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, holding down the fort.

  "This is the true power of the Xiuzhen family!"

  Just the current strength of Pang Tian Mountain is enough to defeat the entire Tianyi Gang, let alone that Pang Tian Mountain still has a steady stream of reinforcements. It's said that he has deployed all 800 elite troops from the Pang family to Yunzhong County, this is truly an overlord!

  Now, Pang Tian Shan was holding Ma Qian Jun's hand to discuss matters: "This time we need to borrow heavily from the Horse Gang Master. Horse Gang Master, as long as you are willing to help with all your heart, I will give you a Four-Sided Heavenly Yuan Bean!"

  Ma Qianjun's body shook violently: "Four-sided Tianyuan bean? This can't be possible, right?"
