C217 Perfect Plan
Gu Xiaofeng was the son of an ordinary farmer's family in the town. Their ancestors were all merchants and farmers, and never had cultivators come out of them. Gu Xiaofeng could be considered to be a virtuous ancestor who accidentally opened his eyes and was absorbed by the Hidden Sword Pavilion as a member. In Gu Xiaofeng's words, his parents were against it.
Because Gu Xiaofeng was his only son, his parents hoped that he could stay by his side and live a normal life, as long as he was safe and sound.
Until a few years ago, a tyrant of Qibei Town had taken a fancy to his sister and wanted to take her in as his concubine. Gu Xiaofeng immediately rushed back from the Hidden Sword Pavilion and killed that tyrant to snatch back his sister. Only then did his parents allow him to cultivate, but he was still on tenterhooks every single day, afraid that his only son would be beaten to death someday.
So, in order to let his parents be at ease, Gu Xiaofeng trained with all his might, he had never dared to slack off.
After leaving in the evening, they arrived at the northern town at dawn. They didn't encounter any dangers on the way.
Just as Gu Xiaofeng had said, Bailee Changfeng was a very cautious person, he would definitely not let Weiqing and the rest make their move the moment he left the Jiannan City, so as to not arouse suspicion. After thinking about it, Weiqing felt that the biggest point of action was to leave the North Bridge Town, since there was a very long official road to the west of the town that led to there.
"Wait, why don't we divide these hundred High Rank Spirit Stone?"
When they were about to reach the town, Shan Xiong took out four bags from his body and said: "With this middle ranked Spirit Stone, even if all four of us are dispersed, we will still be able to recover our vitality in a short period of time. Weiqing, here are the forty pellets I gave you. I will give you twenty, Erlang Shen will also give me twenty, and the remaining ten should be given to you, right? "
Gu Xiaofeng retrieved a small bag and said excitedly: "Thank you, Old Dan!"
Shan Xiong snorted: "This is for Erlang's sake, that's why I'm giving it to you!"
Gu Xiaofeng carefully put away the storage pouch and placed it on his chest, saying: "Thank you so much. Without you all, I would already be dead. Originally, I could have never taken these Spirit Stone for free, but I really need these ten middle tier Spirit Stone, hehe, in the past, I had gone to fight in the dark to earn these Spirit Stone. "
Weiqing patted his shoulder, and laughed: "We are all brothers, what are you talking about?"
Although Gu Xiaofeng was the leader of the swords in Hidden Sword Pavilion, his salary was actually very low. Five low rank Spirit Stone in a month, and one middle rank Spirit Stone was equivalent to ten low rank Spirit Stone. In other words, these ten middle rank Spirit Stone in front of him were Gu Xiaofeng's salary of two years.
For a person like him who trained madly, Spirit Stone were never enough!
Taoism Realm was precisely this cruel and unfair, just like how it was in the mortal world.
For a descendant of the Humble Class like Gu Xiaofeng, even if he were to enter the Taoism Realm, he would still face all sorts of challenges. Because he had no background, he was looked down upon by others. Even his salary was much lower than those with a background. Because he did not have the resources, he could only work even harder than others. Even though they were both at the peak of the Opening Period, Bailee Changsheng, the son of a Venerable Family, had paid less than a tenth of what Gu Xiaofeng had paid!
Actually, for a Humble Class child like Gu Xiaofeng, joining a sect was more appropriate.
In order to attract talents, the sect's welfare was much better than its Hidden Sword Pavilion. However, Gu Xiaofeng said that the sects had too deep of a water base, so their Hidden Sword Pavilion was not as safe as it could be. As a member of the Hidden Sword Pavilion, Bailee Changsheng could still use the strength of his clan to openly kill his opponents, let alone those sects.
It was not excessive to say that Taoism Realm was a world where people ate each other.
To Gu Xiaofeng, being alive was the most important thing.
Very quickly, the horse carriage passed through the northern town and headed towards a small road that led to a village, the Gu Family Manor, that was about five miles away.
The Gu Clan Villa was a small mountain village. The houses were all made of clay and the best house was Gu Xiaofeng's house, a green tile courtyard. Gu Xiaofeng's parents, upon seeing that an important guest had arrived, immediately called out to him enthusiastically. Even if the couple were to kill chickens and ducks in the middle of the night, they wouldn't be able to stop them!
After dinner, it was already 3 in the morning.
Weiqing and Gu Xiaofeng shared a room. Yang Erlang said that he was used to sleeping in the same room by himself, and Shan Xiong took the guest room. As for Gu Xiaofeng's parents and elder sister, they went to the firewood house and called out to the Supreme Celestial, saying how could they let the Supreme Celestial sleep there?
At this moment, on the official road outside the Gu Clan Manor, a great battle had just ended …
There were more than thirty corpses lying on the road. The corpses were dressed in all sorts of strange clothing, and in this not cold weather, they were all wearing cotton-padded jackets, and each of them had a ghost-mask on their faces. At this moment, blood was flowing out from the masks, and several horses were cut down, wailing on the ground, the smell of blood permeating the air.
All of them held longswords in their hands, as well as wore tattered cotton-padded jackets, and the fresh blood on each of their longswords had yet to dry. Only the white-robed man with a severed arm stood in front, the white sword in his hands, was snow-white, without a single trace of fresh blood.
One of the men in black walked fearfully to the man with the severed arm and shouted in a low voice, "Head Steward, all the bandits are dead. It's been confirmed!"
The man with the severed arm lightly nodded his head. He swept his gaze over the corpses on the ground and shouted, "Get on the horse, let's go to the Gu Clan Manor!"
"..."
Five or six in the morning was the time one died the most in their sleep!
Boom! *
A loud sound rang out!
Weiqing still had not reacted, Gu Xiaofeng grabbed his sword and rushed out, shouting for his parents!
Weiqing immediately realized that something had happened!
Weiqing rushed out of the room and sucked in a breath of air. Only then did he realize that the woodshed in the courtyard was lit up with flames that soared to the sky. What was even more terrifying was that in the dark village all around, the fire was blazing high into the sky and thick smoke was billowing everywhere!
Boom! *
The wooden door of the courtyard exploded with a loud bang.
A dozen men wearing ghost masks rushed in. Each of them held a long sword in their hands and had a cold expression on their faces. Among them stood a swordsman with a severed arm and a silver ghost mask. These ghost masks were like a black flame. They looked ferocious and gave off an ice-cold killing intent!
Strangely, there was a shivering old lady standing beside the one-armed man …
Weiqing was instantly enraged, and shouted: "Kill all these bastards!"
"Don't be rash, things are not as simple as you think!" Shan Xiong's gaze landed on the one-armed man, and snorted: "Good method with Bailee Family, to actually disguise as a bandit to loot the village, but do you think that this will be enough to deceive the heavens and the earth?"
At this time, the one-armed swordsman sneered and said: "As long as you all die, everything will be perfect."
Bailee Changfeng's plan was indeed perfect!
In the name of doing business with the bandits, he lured a group of famous bandits to the official road. He told the Ah Da to kill all the bandits, leaving no one alive! Afterwards, the Ah Da led people to loot the entire Gu Clan Village, leaving only an ordinary old lady as a witness. It was a group of rogue bandits that looted the Gu Clan Manor!
But Weiqing and the rest had just lost their lives to these bandits due to bad luck!
As for how bandits on the official road had died, no one would bother to investigate. This was because a matter like the Bloody Butcher Village angered both the gods and people, and anyone had the right to kill them! Except for one old woman who was left behind to testify, everyone else was dead. Even bandits were dead. As the saying goes, death without a witness was perfect!
