Generally speaking, although the bandits of Black Wind Stronghold were rampant, they were still afraid of being strangled by the army and not being massacred by the caravan.
As long as the caravans paid a certain amount of fees, they would be allowed to pass.
However, something that happened not long ago had a lot to do with them. It shocked the entire Soaring Cloud Empire.
It was the people from Black Wind Stronghold that attacked the Mo Clan's caravan dejectedly. Mo Xiao, the Eldest Young Master of the Mo Clan, almost lost his life here.
After the incident, the Ling Xiao Empire also sent people to kill them. The Black Wind Stronghold travelled through the Black Wind Plains year in and year out, and as they were very familiar with the terrain, the army couldn't do anything about it. Furthermore, there were powerful forces supporting the Black Wind Stronghold from behind.
Of course, it was impossible for the Black Wind Stronghold to only have one bandit group in the huge Black Wind Mountain Range. It was just that the other bandits were much smaller in size compared to the Black Wind Stronghold.
At this time, it was also deep into the night. The bright moon hung high in the starry night sky, and the world was tranquil.
But in this Black Wind Mountain, it was not quiet, nor would it be quiet.
This was because night happened to be the time when the black storm was most active. It whistled across the vast Black Wind Plains like the wailing of ghosts and the howling of wolves, extremely horrifying.
When timid people passed by and heard the sound of the black storm sweeping past, they would be so scared that their faces would turn pale.
Tonight, Black Wind Mountain was also destined to not be peaceful.
Rustle, rustle, rustle …
At the foot of a mountain in Black Wind Mountain, the sound of light footsteps could be heard. Dozens of black figures walked out from the pitch-black darkness under the night mist.
They did not hold torches in their hands, but instead walked through the night mist. They were like emissaries of the night, traveling through the night mist with incredible speed.
"Ling Yun, are you sure that Black Wind Stronghold is up ahead?" An abrupt voice suddenly broke the silent atmosphere.
This group of people were none other than Lingyun and the others. After Qin Feng recovered, they set off. Up until now, there were already five groups of bandits that had fallen at their hands.
His goal of training his troops had already begun to bear fruit.
Their current goal was precisely the Black Wind Stronghold!
In order to prevent the news from spreading out, the people of Black Wind Sect had to flee no matter what. They didn't even care if it was already night.
"That's right!" Ling Yun slightly nodded his head, "He's in a valley not far ahead."
At this point, Lingyun's voice suddenly became a lot louder, "You all have to be careful later. These bandits of the Black Wind Stronghold are different from the others. They are all martial artists, a total of more than 500 people …"
Ling Yun gave a brief summary of the information he had received.
After he finished speaking, a series of gasps could be heard from behind him. Although they had killed many bandits today, most of them were strong men who hadn't cultivated yet. This was the first time they had encountered a group of bandits filled with warriors.
However, they weren't afraid. What they had was endless fighting spirit. So what if they were all martial artists? There was no difference in front of them; they were nothing more than a bunch of chickens and dogs. Once a battle formation was formed, who could compete with them!
"You must not be careless. According to the information I obtained, more than 60% of these bandits are veterans. Not only do they have a lot of battle experience, they can also use simple formations!" Seeing that the people behind him did not care, Lingyun said with a gloomy face.
"Veterans?" Qin Feng laughed coldly as a cold glint of light flickered in his eyes.
As a soldier, it was simply unforgivable to plunder, even if it included the shadow of the Wen Yuan manor.
