Chapter 57: The Night at Wulung Mountain

  "Wulong Mountain!" A hint of anger flashed in Shi Sheng's eyes, the lives of Lin Wan'er's parents and dozens of people from Guchui Village were all buried in the hands of Wulong Mountain bandits.

  "This world's Shi Sheng, was initially beaten by them and broke his leg, in the end they still wanted to kill him. Luckily, the officers arrived, although I wasn't the one who got beaten at first, but even if it's for helping Lin Wan'er's parents take revenge, this time we must bring all the bandits to justice!" Shi Sheng clenched his fists.

  "Alright, everyone's team roster and destination have been assigned. Everyone must follow the captain's orders and not act arbitrarily. Does everyone understand?" Liu Chang asked.

  "I understand!" The crowd shouted in unison, some with excited and thrilled faces, their eyes filled with curiosity, while others looked worried and anxious, lacking experience at a glance.

  Liu Chang shook his head: "Alright, let's say it one last time. Even if we're facing an ordinary person, we must still be careful. Everyone can leave now, the task is complete, and each of you will receive a reward of 10 pieces of Xuanjing Jade. Those who performed exceptionally well will receive additional rewards!" After Liu Chang finished speaking, everyone began to leave Tianxuan Sect one after another.

  ……

  A mighty procession of over fifty people, after descending the mountain quickly divided into five teams, each going in different directions, with more than ten people in each team.

  "Shi Shidi, I heard that your hometown is Guhuai Village, which should be closer to Wulong Mountain. Why don't you lead the way?" said Guan Ping with a calm and even tone on his face.

  "All right, there's a shortcut that can save us nearly half the time. I'm familiar with Gǔ Huái village, but Wū Lóng mountain is not so familiar to me!" Shí Shēng's face turned serious.

  "It doesn't matter, we can ask around when we get to the nearby village!" Guan Ping said, and Shi Sheng led everyone out, following the same small path they had taken last time.

  "In the lower village, fatty, Shí shī dì, originally you are from Gǔ Huái Village? I am from Shén Miào Village, it's very close, hehe!" On the road, a little fatty came to chat with Shí nearby.

  "Oh!" Shi Sheng responded casually, not knowing what the Temple Village was, so as not to say anything wrong. These people didn't all know Shi Sheng, but most people knew him because of his outstanding performance on the day of the new disciple competition.

  "Shi Shidi, can you teach us ordinary people some martial arts? You were so fierce at the competition that day!" A young man caught up with Shi Sheng.

  "My name is Yun Fang, Shi Shidi, teach us that little fireball trick again, hehe, you were so handsome that day!" A woman in a white dress, with stars in her eyes and a silly grin on her face.

  Shi Sheng felt a bit helpless and was at a loss for words when Lin Pangzi stepped forward to bail him out.

  "This is the rule of our school, how can Shī Shīdiè teach you all this nonsense?" Little Fatty waved his hand to interrupt everyone's thoughts. Before Shí Shēng could thank him, Little Fatty spoke again.

  "Haha, but Shi Shidi is indeed formidable. I didn't expect that not only did he take the top ten spots, if he was willing, perhaps the top three wouldn't be out of his reach either... That day, he even surpassed Master Guan Ping..." Lin Baozi seemed to have also realized his mistake and hastily shut his mouth.

  Everyone immediately looked at Guan Ping, and Guan Ping frowned and glanced at Shi Sheng. The fat boy's words almost made Shi Sheng vomit blood in anger, but he restrained himself from slapping him to death. It was indeed a case of "which pot doesn't open, which pot is mentioned".

  Everyone was chatting and laughing along the way, with Little Fatty He Yunfang among them. The road wasn't lonely at all. When they were tired, they would rest for a while. Each of them had dry rations on their bodies. Half a month later, they arrived near Gǔ Huái Village. By now, everyone was more or less familiar with each other.

  Entering the village, after inquiring with Guan Ping and others, everyone successfully found Wulongsan, but it took seven or eight days to arrive at the foot of Wulongsan. However, no one dared to proceed further and instead prepared to rest for a night before setting off again early the next morning.

  This is a valley of no small size, with mountains on both sides. The crowd hid in the valley, not afraid of being discovered, but dared not to make fire, for fear of bringing unnecessary trouble.

  "Everyone, get a good rest tonight. Tomorrow morning, we'll attack Wulong Mountain. According to the elder's orders, those who surrender will be sent to the government office, while those who resist... will be killed on the spot!" Guan Ping said, clearly hesitating for a moment when mentioning killing people.

  "Everything will be arranged by Master Guan Ping!" Hei Yan said, and everyone nodded in agreement. Along the way, Shi Sheng also discovered that Guan Ping was a meticulous thinker, calm and composed, and indeed suitable to lead this team. Moreover, his personal strength was above everyone else's, so many of his fellow disciples respected him.

  "Guān Píng shī xiōng, everyone is resting, but we must leave someone on guard to prevent accidents and sneak attacks. Moreover, we are not familiar with this place, and we don't know if there are any wild beasts roaming around at night!" Just then, a pale-faced girl spoke up.

  Upon hearing this, Guan Ping's eyes lit up: "Hehe, Mu Qing thought of everything, but I've already arranged for Hei Yan to take the night watch. Everyone can rest assured and get some rest. I'll switch shifts with him in the second half of the night!"

  "Master Guanping's thoughts are so meticulous, but it seems that his sister Tang is too impulsive!" The woman called Muqing flicked her hair and smiled calmly.

  Shi Sheng nodded slightly, among the three white-robed women, Mu Qing was not simple, and the other two women were also surrounding Mu Qing. Mu Qing's thoughts were obviously better than the other two women, but she didn't usually speak up, occasionally glancing at Shi Sheng casually!

  As for others, it's almost as if they've never set foot in society before, like a naive teenager on Earth. Even those in their twenties don't have much experience with the harsh realities of life. They're all just chatting and laughing with people around them, rarely observing their surroundings or paying attention to others. As a result, they can't anticipate dangers ahead of time, and their vigilance is still somewhat lacking.

  Of course, apart from Guan Ping, Shi Sheng also discovered a young man in white clothes, who had hardly spoken on the way. No matter where he walked, he would pay attention to the changes around him, and it seemed that he was also a person with some heart. It is said that this person is Liu Changlao's disciple, named Yuan Yong!

  Lin Pangzi and Hei Yan are quite comical, but Hei Yan is a sly type, being more cunning, while Lin Pangzi is almost a silly fool, perhaps with some minor cleverness, but only in his own opinion. Through this month of contact, Shi Sheng has also gained a general understanding of everyone's personalities.

  A crowd of people gathered in a small area, but each person was spaced out at a distance from one another. Some were sitting cross-legged, while others were lying down fast asleep. Lin Pàngzi was among them, with drool flowing from the corner of his mouth and emitting a snore that was hard to bear. Fortunately, they were in the countryside; if they had been in a room, it would have been impossible for anyone else to rest.

  Time slowly slips away, deep night, bright moon hanging high, gentle breeze caressing!

  Shi Sheng sat on a rock, his eyes slightly closed, trying hard to recall the events of his past life. However, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't remember that one segment about the bandit, nor did he know who was the real enemy.

  "In that case, let's kill the ringleader to avenge ourselves. The leader of the robbers must be the one who led them!" Shi Sheng's heart rose with murderous intent, and he secretly made plans.

  "Huh?" Shi Sheng's ears perked up, and he heard a faint noise coming from afar. He looked up to see a flash of light, but it disappeared instantly. (End of this chapter, the next one will be even more exciting!)
