20

Earlier, there were three figures running among the trees and hills. All three were dressed in uniform, with weapons at their waists and bags over their shoulders.

All three of them had a speed that ordinary people did not have, especially the one at the front. He was a man in his mid-20s, while the other two were young.

"Senior, is it okay. We are deviating from our duties, we should be investigating other cases" said a young man behind him.

"I was thinking the same thing, why did senior insist on coming to someone's engagement. Is she your daughter!" The young woman also spoke, but the man in front of them instantly turned his head and made both of them silent.

"You guys really want to know, alright. The father of that child, once saved me when I was dying and once helped me when I was in trouble. You could say, I owe him my life, of course I have to repay him. Satisfied" he explained lazily, while the two nodded in understanding.

"Then, what about our mission senior?" Asked the young man behind he, they should be going in the other direction, to work on a mission.

"Take it easy, we still have plenty of time. I'll be in charge" said the man, but his face said differently, he wasn't really sure either but he had to repay his debt.

"Besides, why did the bride have to be kidnapped anyway. There's nothing" she said angrily, they got a message yesterday. That the bride had been kidnapped by someone and needed their help.

"Never mind don't keep complaining, we'll be there soon. I'll do whatever you want" Hearing that, both of them immediately smiled.

"Okay I want..." There was an explosion from above them, coincidentally they took a shortcut to speed up their journey.

The three immediately stopped, they became serious and immediately changed direction. They didn't speak, but moved straight towards the explosion.

"Take out your weapons, there might be monsters" said the man in the lead, the explosion was very loud and was heard several times, like a continuous explosion.

When they arrived, they saw that there were destroyed trees and a person's hand coming out of the rocks. The young man opened the rock, there was someone who was almost out of breath.

While the young woman checked the trees, she saw a dying man and knew who they were.

"They're bandits" The young man and young woman knew the two were bandits, After one of them confessed.

"It looks like something happened here, let's go inside and be prepared" The man in the lead was a little worried, they walked side by side.

Once inside the cave, there were screams after screams coming from inside the cave. Once inside, there were more bandits but they were all paralyzed.

"Let's speed up" The screams grew more and more, the three of them quickened their pace and finally arrived at the large room.

"That..." the young woman was about to advance, but was stopped by he senior. This man felt something strange about the masked figure, he wanted to observe her for a moment.

The man gave a silent order to his junior, both of them nodded and observed carefully. "Someone is coming" a woman ran towards them.

"Help..." This young woman suddenly fainted in front of him. The man told his junior to take care of her. They went back to watching the figure's movements.

The three of them did not feel any power from the masked figure, so they were curious. What would the masked figure do, against the dozens of bandits in front of him.

At first, they thought the masked figure was a swordsman. But they didn't see any weapons, maybe the figure was an empty-handed user.

But their seniors, sensing a presence from behind the room, there were two bandits who were hiding and about to attack the masked figure.

He deliberately did not come forward, out of curiosity as to what the masked figure would do. As soon as the two bandits attacked, a strange aura blew out a strong wind and carried a dense creepy aura.

The faces of the three instantly tensed up, they had never felt such a terrifying aura. Their entire bodies were sweating, as they felt the aura that made their hair stand on end.

"Atta-" the man covered their mouths, then told them to keep quiet. Then gave the code to get ready, both of them nodded with tense faces.

Then something terrible happened, the two bandits were squeezed by a strange force until their bodies were crushed. The three of them were wide-eyed at the sight, until the young woman's hands shook violently.

The figure moved at high speed, the man immediately advanced and attacked Zhang Kai. He attacked Zhang Kai with a sword that emitted energy.

"Damn it, that was close!" Zhang Kai really almost died this time, because this man came at such a high speed that he did not feel his arrival.

"Demon cultivator!" The man was furious, he stared at he angrily. Not long after, a young man also came out.

"Sword technique: Wind knife storm!" Suddenly a storm appeared that formed hundreds of knives, Zhang suddenly understood who they were and lowered his temper.

But he stopped the attack first, he made a wall of stone and blocked the attack. "Calm down, I'm not a demon cultivator!" Zhang Kai didn't know what it was, but he had to clear up the misunderstanding.

If they were really cultivators, then he had to be careful. Moreover, looking at their uniforms, they must be a group and he could not cause trouble with a group at this time.

"Bastard, your aura alone makes your identity clear. Don't dodge" Zhang Kai's wall was cut off, a young woman appeared who tried not to be afraid. he threw the two of them backwards, the three of them were shocked.

"I'm sorry, but I'm really not a demon cultivator. You can check if you want" said zhang kai, he was just talking. But he was sure they must know something to check whether he was a demon cultivator or not, even if it was just his opinion.

"Show us your blood!" Said the man restrained by Zhang Kai, the other two also agreed. Zhang Kai immediately slashed his hand and out came fresh, bright red blood.

The three immediately fell silent, then the man looked at his junior and nodded. "You must be from the black sect" Zhang Kai thought, the color black must have a bad meaning so he shook his head.

"Then, are you from the neutral sect?" Zhang Kai shook his head, he slowly put the man down.

"Haaaaah, there's no way you're from the white stream!" Asked the young man, Zhang Kai paused for a moment, he then shook his head as well.

"What...did you just come out of seclusion?" Asked the young woman nervously, Zhang Kai instantly nodded.

He could make a good excuse finally, "That's right, I just came out of seclusion and know nothing about the cultivator world. Please forgive me" Zhang Kai slightly bowed respectfully, making the two young people awkward.

"But that doesn't explain your frightening aura" asked the man suspiciously, Zhang Kai smiled.

Zhang Kai took off his clothes, instantly revealing a body full of wounds. "Maybe it's because I hold a grudge, against someone" the man grimaced looking at his body, the wounds were numerous and gruesome.

The three finally understood why Zhang Kai had such a terrifying aura. They lowered their guard, the young woman was also no longer nervous. "You can come out" said the young man, An Rui came out trembling, she was still scared.

"Yun si calm her down" said his senior, she nodded and left with an rui.

"There seems to be a little misunderstanding here, please forgive me and my junior" both bowed respectfully, cupping their hands.

"Introducing, my name is Duan Wu. Senior disciple of the Sunstorm Sect and these are my two juniors, please forgive our treatment" Duan Wu immediately bowed apologetically, he was really embarrassed for showing hostility.

"I'm fang kong, I'm sorry for attacking you first" fang kong was still a little suspicious of him, but Zhang Kai didn't really care.

"That young lady Yun si, she is my junior too" Duan wu said with a friendly smile, Zhang Kai nodded.

"I'm Meng Po, it seems like you people were given a mission by An Zhou?" Asked Zhang Kai, he just assumed, because there was no other city near here, other than the Plum wind city.

Duan wu and his junior looked at each other, this person knew the purpose of the two. "Looking at your expressions, it seems to be true. That young lady is the one, the child of an Zhou" he said in a friendly tone.

"That's right, we're really helped. But before that, let us take care of them" Duan wu looked at the bandits who were silent in the corner, they were scared.

Duan wu ordered fang kong, he immediately tied up the bandits one by one. He needed to ask Zhang Kai more questions, "You seem to be a wandering warrior, how did you get that power?" Duan wu asked curiously.

Zhang Kai looked at him Duan wu's tone became more polite, "I don't know it was a long time ago, I forgot" he also didn't know where his strength came from, Duan wu nodded.

"Are you guys from the white stream?" Asked Zhang Kai, he needed to confirm. Duan wu nodded, 'it seems that the sect, is a grouping of individuals. I need more information' Zhang Kai nodded.

"Are you employed by Mr. An Zhou?" Asked Duan wu, it seemed impossible that this mysterious cultivator was working for an zhou.

"I was just passing by, then heard about this incident. My heart told me to help" he said in a calm tone, Duan wu finally understood.

"It seems that everything is done, let's go to the city" said Zhang Kai, he also still has some business with someone.

They finally came out, carrying all the bandits that had been tied up. They were all frightened by Zhang Kai's figure, they had never seen such a death.
