Entering the territory of Da Xia.
Bai Zihe and Murong Mingyue returned to the headquarters of the Wandering Bandits without stopping.
This place was located amidst towering mountains.
According to Murong Mingyue, traps of all kinds were densely packed everywhere, and a single misstep could result in immediate death.
However, with Murong Mingyue leading the way, these were naturally not an issue.
Moreover...
Bai Zihe was now "Seventh Master," and he encountered no obstacles on his way back to the attic of the Wandering Bandits' headquarters.
"Third Master!"
"The mission to the Land of the Ying people is complete!"
Murong Mingyue approached a man wearing a silver mask and presented the Kongwu with both hands: "This is Kongwu, the supreme treasure stolen from the treasure vault of the Land of the Ying people."
This caught Bai Zihe's attention.
It had to be handed over to lower the headquarters' guard.
"Oh?"
The Third Master took it, played with it for a moment, and his eyes were filled with amazement: "Good, very good, excellent."
It was unclear whether he was amazed by Murong Mingyue's feat or by the exquisite craftsmanship of Kongwu.
"Murong Mingyue..."
Immediately, the Third Master's gaze fell on Murong Mingyue's face, and even through the mask, Murong Mingyue could feel the smile on his face: "This mission was brilliantly executed."
"I believe..."
"In the near future, you will have your place on the golden roster of the Wandering Bandits!"
Murong Mingyue's face lit up with joy: "Thank you, Third Master!"
"Hmm..."
The Third Master nodded and waved his hand: "This mission must have been fraught with difficulties. You should go down and rest. If there are further missions, you will naturally be notified."
"Your subordinate takes his leave!"
Murong Mingyue immediately withdrew from the main hall.
The Third Master watched Murong Mingyue's retreating figure, his gaze becoming deep.
The night was slightly cool.
The moon was slightly cool.
Cold as frost.
Bai Zihe infiltrated the treasure vault of the Wandering Bandits.
According to Murong Mingyue.
Most of the treasures they stole were stored here and processed periodically.
The two avoided layers of defenses and delved deep inside.
"There it is!"
Upon entering, Bai Zihe immediately spotted another True Yuan Spirit Stone.
The patterns on it, the powerful aura...
They were identical!
Immediately, Bai Zihe flashed to the side of the True Yuan Spirit Stone.
But at this moment, a sudden change occurred.
"Swish!"
"Whoosh..."
"Rustle—"
"..."
Five extremely powerful auras suddenly appeared, swooping down from the air, and in an instant, they had encircled Bai Zihe.
"Kid, you are not Seventh Master, who are you?"
The Third Master, wearing a silver mask, had piercing eyes, filled with intense anger.
"Speak!"
Beside him, an individual with an extremely sinister aura, like a viper lurking in the shadows, ready to strike a fatal blow at any moment!
"You wear his mask, but your aura cannot deceive us."
"We have been waiting here for you for a long time. We advise you to be wise and confess everything. What did you do to Seventh Master? Otherwise..."
This group of people.
Were precisely the five elder brothers of Seventh Master.
That is, the Sixth, Fifth, Fourth, Third, and Second Masters who usually managed the Wandering Bandits, holding high positions and possessing extraordinary strength!
"Heh..."
Bai Zihe had no time for pleasantries with them and answered with his fists.
"Boom!"
"Bang!"
"Crash..."
Seeing that Bai Zihe dared to resist, these people were instantly enraged.
Immediately.
Auras surged from the ground, instantly interlocking, forming a cage of energy that had no blind spots, as majestic as a mountain and as vast as the ocean.
Moreover, this cage was constantly shrinking, attempting to crush Bai Zihe within it.
"Kid, die!"
"You dare to lay hands on Seventh Master, death is your only end."
"Go to hell and repent!"
"You deserve to die..."
The five experts gnashed their teeth, their faces contorted with ferocity.
"You want me dead?"
Bai Zihe grinned, revealing his pearly white teeth, and his words were arrogantly unrestrained: "Do you even qualify?"
As his voice fell.
A fist emerged from the sky.
This punch...
The heavens were silent, the moon gave no light!
Boundless fist wind, surging killing intent!
"Rumble!"
In the blink of an eye, it fiercely struck the cage of energy formed by the five men.
Instantly.
The energy dissipated, and the cage was shattered.
The five experts all vomited blood and were sent flying backward.
The power of one punch, terrifying indeed!
Bai Zihe disabled several of them and grabbed the True Yuan Spirit Stone in his hand.
But as soon as he touched it, his expression changed drastically.
This thing...
Was fake!
