Ta, ta, ta …

The sound of the hooves of the horses echoed.

"Big Brother, there's someone here!" Someone suddenly exclaimed.

"He was hit by an arrow from the government. I'm afraid he's not an ordinary person. Take him away and check his identity."

Following that, the sounds of horses galloping could be heard once again. Dust flew into the air as the group of people quickly left.

"Drip drip drip drip …" The sound of water droplets constantly sounded. The figure suddenly woke up and sat up. Before he could even react, an intense pain came from his back, causing him to inhale a mouthful of cold air.

This person was Jiang Yi.

While he was escaping, he was hit by an arrow from Zhou Tong, but he didn't dare to stop and continued to flee for his life. He left the forest and ran for who knows how long and where.

While he was unconscious, he seemed to hear the faint sounds of horses' hooves.

The crossbow bolt on his back had already been pulled out by someone, and his injuries were extremely severe. Fortunately, he managed to avoid the vital parts at the critical moment, or else the consequences would have been unimaginable.

He didn't have any Reverse Life Pills on him.

"Where is this?" Jiang Yi looked around and frowned.

It was a spacious cell, dark and humid. The floor was covered in withered grass, and there were even rats moving around the corner of the cell. The air was filled with a disgusting musty smell.

"Could it be that I've already fallen into the hands of the government and have been imprisoned?" Jiang Yi was startled, but immediately shook his head, denying the thought.

The environment in the cells of the government was not bad to such an extent, and there were no guards in sight.

"This is Black Cloud Stronghold, the stronghold of the bandits!" At this moment, a hoarse voice came from a dark corner, "You've been unconscious for two days!"

Jiang Yi immediately looked towards the source of the voice and saw a figure sitting on a chair by the wall. Even though it was extremely dark, he could still see the figure of the person clearly.

This was a young man with a disheveled appearance and tattered clothes. His eyes were slightly sunken, and his face was yellow and skinny. He looked malnourished, and it was unknown just how long he had been locked up here, suffering from hunger.

"I am Jiang Yi, and you are?" Jiang Yi asked, but in his heart he secretly heaved a sigh of relief, as long as it was not an official, then everything was fine.

"Jiang Yi?" The young man muttered to himself, seemingly pondering over this name, then nodded: "My name is Huo Kong, I have already been captured here for one month."

"One month?" Jiang Yi was astonished in his heart. With the brutality of the bandits, they were actually not able to kill him?

Seemingly seeing through Jiang Yi's doubt, the youth called Huo Kong continued: "My Huo family is a famous family in the Qingzhou region, with great power and influence. The reason this Mountain Bandits did not kill me is because they were waiting for the Huo Family's huge ransom, but too bad I'm just a concubine of the Huo Family, with no status or value, so even if I die, I die, and no one will care about me."

As the youth spoke, the corners of his mouth revealed a sense of self-mockery, as if he had seen through life and death and was not afraid of being in a dangerous situation at all.

Hearing that, Jiang Yi went silent.

On the surface, these prestigious clans appeared to be very popular. However, there were actually many problems within their families. They ate without spitting out bones, and if they could not show their worth, they would only be abandoned.

In the famous sects, they didn't raise useless people.

It was even more so within the palace compound.

However, Jiang Yi could tell that this youth called Huo Kong was not simple. Even though he had fallen to the position of a prisoner, he was still calm, standing upright, without a hint of bending. It was as if he was deliberately holding himself back, waiting for a day like this when he would amaze the world with a single brilliant feat!

Jiang Yi was also currently like this. He bore a deep grudge against them, but he was powerless. He could only endure, hoping that the day would come when he could take revenge.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely be fine!" Jiang Yi's eyes flashed, and said with determination.

Then, he closed his eyes slightly. While channeling "Grand Sun Gold Body Spell" to heal his injuries, he released his psychokinesis to check the situation in the Black Cloud Stronghold.

At this time, in the main hall of Black Cloud Stronghold, the three strongholds were gathered together, seemingly discussing something important.

"Big Brother, we've already investigated thoroughly. That brat is called Jiang Yi, and is a disciple of the Dream Soul Sect of a sect under heaven. Cang Lang, the third chief of the stronghold, was the first to speak.

All the cities in the Central Dynasty had lists on them that stated their wanted list, and Jiang Yi's identity was quickly found out by these bandits.

However, the imperial government would not spread the news that the Great Dream Heart Scripture was on Jiang Yi.

"In the current world, Central Dynasty are like the sun in the sky. Organizing an army to exterminate sects and sects, their auras are like rainbows and their sharpness is difficult to resist. If we were to hand this child over to the imperial government to conscript an army, I'm afraid we will obtain enormous benefits." Second chief, Wild Fox's eyes flashed as he said greedily.

"Second Brother is right, this is an opportunity given to us by God!"

At this time, the chief of the Black Cloud Stronghold, Hei Hu spoke: "Our Black Cloud Stronghold, with hundreds of troops, specializes in robbing houses, blocking the way to kill people, and seizing the treasures. We are the most vicious bandits in the entire Yuan Zhou, our evil reputation is known everywhere, and makes people tremble in fear, but to go against the imperial government is still not the right path. Since he is listed on the wanted list of the imperial government, he is definitely not a simple person. We will hand him to the imperial government for enlistment of troops, and then use this opportunity to wash off his identity as a bandit, and even join the imperial government for enlistment of troops is not impossible. "

The chief of Black Cloud Stronghold, Black Tiger, Martial Dao Grandmaster's third step, a realm where he was invincible and powerful. He was extremely powerful and brutal, and had killed countless people.

"Right now, the imperial government's recruitment army is extremely hot. Wherever we go, it will be extremely glorious and awe-inspiring. If we can really enter the imperial government's recruitment army, we won't have to be worried anymore and will just be licking our wounds."

"If we enter the imperial government to conscript the army, we might be able to achieve great feats in the future. To become a king, that is what truly stands out."

The eyes of the second and third chief of the stronghold, Wild Fox, and the Ash Wolf, burned with passion. It was as if they could see a bright path opening up for them.

"We have to be careful in this matter, or a disaster will befall us and we will die without a burial!" Black Tiger's expression suddenly became serious. Since ancient times, officials and bandits were not separated. They were bandits, and now they were trading with the government, it was like they were picking on fire. If one was not careful, they would set themselves on fire.

"How about this, I will personally make a trip to investigate the attitude of the imperial government in conscripting troops. If not, we can discuss further. The two of you, stay in the village and don't go anywhere for these next few days. Keep an eye on them and don't let anything bad happen to them.

"Brother, don't worry. That boy has suffered such a heavy arrow wound so he can't run away. I will immediately send people to keep an eye on him. He is absolutely safe!"

The third chief, Ash Wolf, vowed.
