Chapter 49: Stealing the Flag

  Today's second update~~~

  Zhang Chong had suffered the bitter consequences of taking the "Six Poison Pills", so he also bought some, planning to go back and study them. Even if he couldn't remove the poison from his own body, he would have to think of a way to put some poison on Mo He Chang Lao's body as well, to avenge this poisoning grudge.

  He doesn't care about the level of strength, as long as it enters his revenge vision, he has already started preparing meticulously.

  "Brother forever won't say sorry~~~" This is Zhang Chong's life motto.

  After Zhang Chong finished buying the medicine, he saw that it was already late and found a place to rest. As he entered the inn, he unexpectedly caught sight of a convoy of carriages.

  There were over a dozen carriages in the convoy, each pulled by eight-legged beasts. These eight-legged beasts had incredible strength and endurance, and it was clear that this convoy carried a great deal of wealth.

  What attracted Zhang Chong's attention, however, was the two flags at the very front of the fleet. One flag had a large " Luo" character written on it, while the other had a large "Hei" character written on it.

  "Could it be the Luo family?" Zhang Chong's heart skipped a beat as he asked the young servant.

  "It's just the Luo family, how could ordinary people have so many goods?" said Xiao Er.

  "In such a chaotic world, how dare you bring so many goods on the road? Doesn't the Luo family worry? Didn't the Chen family get robbed just before?"

  "Hmm?" The shopkeeper's eyes lit up when he heard Zhang Chong's words, and his usual calm demeanor changed instantly. As someone who often walked around the store and met guests from all directions, he relied on his mouth to gather information. He perked up his ears at this news, and what's more, he liked to share it with some curious customers who loved to gossip.

  In his eyes, Zhang Chong was just such a customer. At this point, he also said,

  "The Chen family can't compare with the Luo family at all." The tone was full of disdain, as if the Luo family were beneath him.

  "Did you see that black flag? The Luo family travels this road every year, and they dare to walk like this only because of that flag."

  "Oh," having heard this, Zhang Chong suddenly felt invigorated and listened intently as the waiter continued.

  "This is the great banner of Heifeng Mountain, on this line between Qingyang Town and Lengwu Town, except for the areas controlled by the Demon Clan, other unmanned areas are almost all under the control of Heifeng Mountain. Their leader, Hun Hao Black Leopard, is a ruthless killer, with strength already at the 9th level of Divine Power, an extremely formidable figure! The master of the Luo family is on good terms with him, and can be said to be running freely on this road."

  "Could it be that Chen's goods were robbed by Heifeng Mountain?"

  After listening to Xiao Er's words, Zhang Chong's heart was also clear. Since the Luo family could be so open-minded in the underworld, it was only natural that they became the richest man in Dayang District.

  Recalling that day at Zhenling Pavilion, seeing the situation where Luo's family sent someone to represent them, Zhang Chong had already guessed eight or nine out of ten about the style of Luo's family doing things.

  "Shameless people, yet they still pretend to be dignified." Zhang Chong cursed under his breath. The so-called six-month deadline given by the Lu family to the Chen family on that day was just a trap set by the Lu family. How could the Chen family possibly escape?

  This extra time was just for Luo's family to gain a good reputation.

  The image of the Lu family's master had already deeply imprinted a fake gentleman's mark in Zhang Chong's heart. Since he was such an unbearable person, Zhang Chong didn't have any reason to be polite to him, let alone when the other party was thinking of killing him with all his might, how could he not counterattack in anger?

  On the second day, the convoy set off. Soon, they left Qingyang Town and arrived on the vast wilderness. On the way from Qingyang Town to Lengwu Town, the mountains stretched as far as the eye could see, and the mountain roads were rugged, so the convoy was not moving fast either.

  It was noon, and they had only traveled about 300 miles. The leader waved his hand, and the convoy stopped to rest for a while.

  The leader, named Huang Haifeng, was a strong fifth-level deity who was the third master of Heifeng Mountain. He sat down and took a sip of water when he heard someone rushing over to him, shouting...

  "Third Master, something's wrong! Our flag has been taken away by someone!"

  Is this the case? Huang Hai's eyes widened and his body flew out, he stood on top of the car, seeing that the top was empty. The two flags had disappeared without a trace.

  Huang Hai stood there, unable to make sense of it. He felt strange and unusual in his heart. On this road, he had run no less than a hundred times over the past decade, yet this was the first time something like this had happened.

  Who dares to hang a black wind flag on this road? He still can't think of who it is.

  Could it be Qingling Lake?

  Huang Haifeng's mind turned, thinking of a family. But immediately he shook his head, just three months ago, he was still drinking with the other party's master, it was impossible to turn friends into enemies so quickly.

  The scale of Qingping Lake is much smaller than theirs, but it's also one of the larger strongholds in the vicinity. They and Heifeng Mountain each occupy a separate region, usually not interacting with each other, and shouldn't cross borders or look for trouble with them either.

  Besides, this convoy is carrying goods for the Luo family. To offend both Heifeng Mountain and the Luo family at the same time, he can't even think of such a thing.

  Huang Haifeng couldn't think of it because the person who stole this flag was Zhang Chong. Zhang Chong had no background, he was alone, how could he have thought of it.

  "Should we inform the master of the house?" asked the servant beside him with some concern.

  "Hmm~" Huang Hai nodded and then said,

  "Don't rest anymore, go all out and rush forward."

  Zhang Chong saw them set off immediately, and he also displayed the "Shen Xing Bai Bian" technique, following closely behind. He was going to Changshengmen anyway, so they were heading in the same direction. And he wanted to see if anyone would dare to come forward and touch the tiger's whiskers after the flag was removed.

  As for himself, it is absolutely impossible.

  Zhang Chong had already seen clearly that the strongest person on the opposite side was holding a three-pronged fork, and his strength must be much stronger than his. Around him, there were two divine power level guards and more than twenty refining body level guards.

  With so many people, Zhang Chong was brave enough not to go down and collide with this nail head-on. He was waiting for an opportunity, when someone came to rob, he could take advantage of the chaos and stir the water again.

  But this opportunity came extremely quickly.

  By dusk, the sun had already hidden half of its body. At this time, the convoy arrived at a dense forest.

  At this moment, a faint rustling sound came from the dense forest in front of them.

  "Stop." Huang Haifeng's eyes gleamed like a torch as he stretched out his hand in a stopping gesture.

  Wherever leaves fall, a voice echoes through the sky

  "This mountain was opened by me, this tree was planted by me..."

  As the voice faded away, a figure floated out of the dense forest. He was about twenty years old, slender and agile, holding in his hand a gigantic stone tablet that was half as tall as he was.

  The man's body rotated half a circle in mid-air before falling to the ground.

  "If you want to get through this, cough~~~cough~~~"

  He originally wanted to finish the sentence, but didn't expect that when he fell, his strength was a bit excessive, and he almost lost his balance. At this moment, he was also startled, and hurriedly stabilized his body. After that, he threw down the stone tablet and loudly said:

  "Leave some money for the road."

  He clutched his chest and finally said this last sentence.

  Huang Hai's eyes, however, were fixed intently on the stone stele that his opponent had thrown down. The stele landed on the ground and sank into it, about one-third of its length disappearing into the earth.

  This shocked him greatly in his heart as well.

  This person's power should be extremely great; otherwise, he wouldn't carry a stone monument with him. It seems that this is also his weapon.

  "Who are you?" Huang Haifeng asked in a low voice.

  "This is my elder brother, Wang Mingyang, the Tombstone Hand."

  In the dense forest, another figure emerged, holding a folding fan in his hand, looking elegant and refined. The man's eyes were long and narrow, his face was thin and angular, with a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth, as he looked at Huang Hai Feng and said

  "I am Miao Shan Gong Zi, Li Rui~~~"
