Chapter 123 123 Chou Jingxiao
"Lord Wen, have you come to deal with the Blood Wolf Thieves nestled in Julong Cave?
My Pang Family and Xuanyang Martial Sect received the news and, after rushing here, are just in time to help the Demon Cleansing Bureau eliminate these bandits."
Pang Songyuan walked over, smiling and greeting Wen Tingyun with a salute.
Wen Tingyun, expressionless, responded indifferently, "The Demon Cleansing Bureau appreciates the goodwill of the Pang Family and Xuanyang Martial Sect.
However, eradicating the Blood Wolf Thieves is a matter for the Demon Cleansing Bureau alone, no assistance is needed from your two families.
It would sound rather bad if Great Zhou, which feeds us, the Xuan Armor Guards, with the fat of its land, has to rely on sects and noble families for help."
Ding Yuan of Xuanyang Martial Sect had a rough appearance but his words were sharp as needles.
He chuckled and said, "Lord Wen, you are mistaken. Such wicked thieves as the Blood Wolf Thieves must be punished by everyone.
Moreover, we are not here just to offer unwanted help, but because we, too, have grievances against these thieves."
At this point, Ding Yuan's face showed a hint of resentment, "After the Blood Wolf Thieves came to Southern Mountain, they obliterated a small sect called Green Sun Sect.
The sect leader was my good friend from the past, yet he was cruelly murdered by the Blood Wolf Thieves, and the sect was slaughtered. Of course, I must seek revenge for him."
Beside him, Pang Songyuan also nodded and added, "Indeed, my Pang Family had in-laws from the Li Family who were also annihilated by the Blood Wolf Thieves. The women were abducted and the rest were cruelly killed, including the children. Their actions were utterly appalling!
With such deep blood feuds, we have no choice but to act, and not to disrupt the plans of the Demon Cleansing Bureau."
A cold smile appeared on the corners of Wen Tingyun's mouth.
These two guys had noble excuses, but did they really think the Demon Cleansing Bureau knew nothing?
Indeed, the Green Sun Sect leader had known Ding Yuan when they were young, but one entered a small sect and the other Xuanyang Martial Sect, and they hadn't been in contact for over a decade.
And that related family of the Pang Family, the Li Family, was even more absurd.
A branch daughter of the Li Family married a son of a guest elder of the Pang Family as a concubine; their relation was so distant it could hardly be considered kinship.
However, with both families keen on intervening, Wen Tingyun couldn't outright stop them.
The more anxious she appeared now, the more it would indicate that the Blood Wolf Thieves truly possessed something valuable.
"Since you both have such deep hatred for the Blood Wolf Thieves, it just might be appropriate to join forces to annihilate them.
However, do not say outwardly that it's to assist the Demon Cleansing Bureau, for we do not have the custom of joining forces with Martial World Sects. Everyone should act on their own.
The Blood Wolf Thieves are cruel and cunning, please be careful."
Saying this, Wen Tingyun waved her hand firmly, commanding, "All members of the Demon Cleansing Bureau, follow me into Julong Cave and exterminate the Blood Wolf Thieves!"
Pang Songyuan and Ding Yuan exchanged a glance, each showing a hint of confusion in their eyes.
Wen Tingyun actually didn't stop them, just letting them enter Julong Cave so easily?
Could it be that they were mistaken?
Did the Blood Wolf Thieves not actually have anything valuable?
However, they then issued orders for their elite troops to enter Julong Cave.
Regardless of whether there was valuable loot or not, since they were here, they were determined to get involved.
And according to their analysis, the Blood Wolf Thieves likely did possess some remarkable treasures.
Otherwise, there was no way to explain why Smell Fragrance Sect would suddenly attack the Blood Wolf Thieves so aggressively at this time, even at great cost.
Besides, they did indeed have reasons for wanting to destroy the Blood Wolf Thieves.
Although these struggling thieves posed no threat to the Pang Family or Xuanyang Martial Sect, this territory was under their influence.
Allowing the Blood Wolf Thieves to rampage and kill here also impacted their interests.
...
At this moment, out of the thousand caves in Julong Cave, hundreds of Blood Wolf Thieves occupied one of the larger caves, surrounded by ruined walls and collapsed Buddha statues.
A man in tattered Black Armor built a makeshift stove out of three Buddha heads and was roasting a cow leg on it.
But after roasting it for a little while, he seemed unable to wait any longer and started tearing at the half-cooked beef, biting into it with blood splattering everywhere.
Suddenly, the man lifted his head, revealing a hideous and terrifying face.
One side of his face seemed to have suffered severe burns, covered with dark red twisted scars like worms clinging to that half of his face.
The other half of his face, although intact, was also full of knife scars, as if he had been tortured.
He was the leader of the Blood Wolf Thieves, "Ghost Face Sky Wolf" Chou Jingxiao.
On the other side, beneath a Bodhisattva statue broken in two, came the pitiful wails of women and the wild laughter of men.
Dozens of Blood Wolf Thieves surrounded three women, their white arms and legs occasionally visible through gaps in the crowd.
A one-eyed burly man, satisfied, walked over holding his pants and also grabbed a half-cooked ox leg, taking a bite and said indistinctly,
"Damn, after wandering through the deep forests of the Tiancang Mountain Range for so long, we finally had some fun.
Boss, why don't you try those young ladies? Those from noble families have soft, delicate skin, tender as dough, very comfortable."
Chou Jingxiao said coldly, "It's fun but tell the brothers not to let their guard down.
Even though we've left the Tiancang Mountain Range, it doesn't mean that the Smell Fragrance Sect won't continue to pursue us.
Besides, Southern Mountain is not safe either. Now that we're here, the local Martial Arts Forces and the Demon Cleansing Bureau are probably watching us.
What we have is a hot potato, everyone wants a bite!"
The one-eyed burly man hesitated and then said, "Boss, why don't we hand this thing over? Holding onto it, we can't use it, and we're being tightly monitored."
Chou Jingxiao glanced at him and fiercely threw the ox bone in his hand at the man's head, smashing it to pieces.
"Great Master died for that thing, and we've lost thousands of brothers! And now you say to hand it over?
We Blood Wolf Thieves are like wolves, when have you ever seen a wolf spit out its prey?"
Chou Jingxiao stared intensely at the one-eyed burly man, "Old Blind, if you're scared you can say so. We've been brothers for so many years, I wouldn't force you to die with us."
The one-eyed burly man looked fierce, but at that moment he shivered violently.
"Boss, that's not what I meant. We Blood Wolf Thieves have been dominating Huainan Road for so many years, who have we ever feared?"
Chou Jingxiao lowered his head, his voice cold and gloomy, "That's better.
Faced with the Smell Fragrance Sect, our brothers did not retreat.
Traveling through the Tiancang Mountain Range, facing those demons, we did not retreat.
It makes no sense to come to Southern Mountain and start thinking of retreat now that we've had a moment's peace.
I am not intent on leading my brothers to their deaths.
For now, we'll rest and gather strength in Julong Cave, and tomorrow we will head to Smoke Wave Lake.
Smoke Wave Lake is the largest lake in Southern Mountain, known as the thousand-mile misty Smoke Wave Lake, with countless small islands and hidden rivers.
Once our brothers hide there, neither the Sects nor the Demon Cleansing Bureau can do anything to us.
In the mountains, we are the ruling Blood Wolves of the Tiancang Range.
In the lake, we are the Flood Dragons that overturn rivers!"
Seeing that their leader already had a plan, Old Blind, the one-eyed burly man, also breathed a sigh of relief.
The Blood Wolf Thieves had been completely crushed by the Smell Fragrance Sect in Huainan Road, followed by being chased for thousands of miles, fleeing into the Tiancang Mountain Range.
God knows how much they suffered to finally make it through the Tiancang Mountain Range to Southern Mountain.
Originally, before they entered the Tiancang Mountain Range, they had more than 300 people, but now there were less than a hundred left.
Although those remaining were the elites of the elites, if this continued, they too were at their limits.
Just then, a Blood Wolf Thief rushed into the cave.
"Boss! Our trap has been triggered! Someone has come in!
Our frontmen have already spotted them, there's people from the Demon Cleansing Bureau and also local Martial World forces!"
Chou Jingxiao stood up, sneered and said, "The Demon Department's dogs sure have sharp noses.
Tell the brothers to stop fooling around and get ready to receive guests!
We'll break out of Julong Cave, I'll take them to the lake for some carefree fun!"
Inside Julong Cave, the remaining Blood Wolf Thieves immediately stood up, put on their pants, and casually strangled the three pitiful women to death.
In an instant, these Blood Wolf Thieves were covered in an astonishing fierce Evil Qi.
What do you think?
