Black Wind Stockade, in a sealed room in the deepest part of the dungeon.
The bandit chief, who was being controlled by Zhang Xuan, was panicking.
He had kicked an iron plate!
Zhang Xuan, who was clearly controlled by the acupoints, could easily open his acupoints. What did this mean?
Zhang Xuan was not a second-rate expert. He was hiding his strength.
Especially since Zhang Xuan had always kept a low profile and only revealed his strength now. He was clearly waiting for him.
As for Zhang Xuan's motive, it was obvious that he was plotting against him.
The completely panicked bandit chief knew very well that he had no ability to resist in front of Zhang Xuan. The only thing he could do was beg for mercy.
However, he realized that his mute acupoint had been sealed. Even if he wanted to beg for mercy, he had no chance.
"Rest in peace."
Under the bandit chief's terrified gaze, Zhang Xuan smiled coldly.
As soon as he finished speaking, he twisted his hand that was holding the bandit chief's neck gently. The bandit chief of the Black Wind Stockade, who no one in Lin'an City dared to provoke, died on the spot.
With a muffled bang, the bandit chief fell to the ground.
This was the second time Zhang Xuan had personally killed someone, but he did not feel any discomfort.
For an evil mountain bandit like the bandit chief, his death was not worth pitying. He did not need any pity at all.
Zhang Xuan looked at the bandit chief, then took out a few things from his pocket and started working on them.
He had already made preparations when he took the initiative to come to Black Wind Stockade. However, he did not expect the bandit chief of Black Wind Stockade to cultivate an evil martial art. Furthermore, he wanted to absorb his internal energy. This made Zhang Xuan change his plan at the last minute.
What he needed to do now was to swap his identity with the bandit chief of Black Wind Stockade.
Although Zhang Xuan had already mastered the disguise technique on the way back, this was his first time using it. It was still a little difficult to do.
Even if he didn't need to do it perfectly and could fool the mountain bandits for some time, it still took Zhang Xuan a lot of time.
After all, not only did he have to disguise himself, but he also had to disguise the bandit chief of the Black Wind Stockade. This was a very complicated process.
Outside the sealed room, the two trusted aides guarding outside waited for a long time, but there was no movement coming from inside. This made the two of them frown.
"Did something happen to the chief?"
Doubt flashed across the eyes of one of them as he asked his companion solemnly.
This was not the first time they had helped the bandit chief guard the door. In the past, the bandit chief would come out in at most an hour. Now, more than four hours had passed, but the bandit chief still did not come out. It was too abnormal.
"Wait, if the bandit chief still doesn't come out, we'll knock on the door."
His companion thought for a moment and said in a low voice.
Their bandit chief was a first-rate expert. Furthermore, Zhang Xuan's acupoints had been sealed. How could anything happen to the bandit chief?
Moreover, this was not the first time the bandit chief had done such a thing. It was even more impossible for an accident to happen when he was absorbing someone's internal energy.
Just as the two of them were feeling puzzled, the door slowly opened and the bandit chief walked out with a corpse.
"I can't believe he's dead!"
The bandit chief casually threw the corpse on the ground and instructed his two trusted aides,
"Take care of it."
The bandit chief who spoke was none other than Zhang Xuan, who had used the disguise technique to change his identity.
The two trusted aides did not suspect anything. They carried the corpse and left quickly.
This was not the first time they had encountered such a situation. Countless so-called experts had died at the hands of the bandit chief.
When the two of them passed by the dungeon, He Yushan and the others were shocked when they saw the familiar clothes on the corpse carried by two trusted aides.
"Zhang Xuan! It's Zhang Xuan!"
He Lingxue recognized the corpse at a glance. This made her feel endless grief.
Zhang Xuan, whom she had always misunderstood, was dead just like that?
She didn't even have time to apologize!
Various scenes of her targeting Zhang Xuan flashed past He Lingxue's eyes.
The more He Lingxue recalled the past, the more her heart ached.
From the beginning to the end, Zhang Xuan had never said anything bad about her. At the beginning, she looked down on Zhang Xuan, and towards the end, she was envious. She mocked and sneered at Zhang Xuan, and even targeted him. All these were like steel needles that pierced her heart.
He Yushan and the higher-ups of the escort agency were all stunned. At the same time, they were furious.
Although their internal energy had been sucked dry, at least they were still alive and had a chance to start over.
As for Zhang Xuan, he had completely lost all opportunities.
Such an outstanding young man was gone just like that?
Especially He Yushan. He had high hopes for Zhang Xuan and had repeatedly tried to matchmake his daughter and Zhang Xuan.
Because he saw the hope of strengthening the escort agency in Zhang Xuan.
What was even more precious was Zhang Xuan's loyalty. He Yushan had never seen anything like that before.
The heavens were jealous of geniuses!
A sorrowful atmosphere spread throughout the dungeon, making He Yushan, his daughter, and the higher-ups of the escort agency extremely angry.
However, they couldn't even protect themselves now. Apart from feeling sorry for Zhang Xuan, they couldn't do anything.
However, no one knew that what He Yushan and the others saw was not real.
Zhang Xuan, who had disguised himself as the bandit chief, had returned to the celebration banquet hall of the stockade.
"The chief is back!"
"Congratulations to the chief for reaching a new height."
"Let us toast to the chief."
Seeing the bandit chief walking over with a smile, everyone hurriedly went up to him and praised him.
These mountain bandits had followed the bandit chief for many years, so they knew him quite well.
One look at the bandit chief's happy expression and one could guess that he had gained a lot.
"Come, let's toast!"
The bandit chief laughed and raised his cup as he spoke to the mountain bandits.
As he spoke, his gaze swept across everyone in the hall, and a meaningful smile flashed across his lips.
As soon as the bandit chief finished speaking, the atmosphere in the hall became even warmer. Everyone raised the wine glasses in their hands, raised their necks, and drank the wine in one gulp.
After a few glasses of wine, the mountain bandits completely let loose. They shouted vulgarities, and many of them shouted to commit a few more big deals.
Zhang Xuan's eyes flashed with a cold killing intent when he saw everyone talking about murder and arson. However, he quickly hid it and the bandits did not notice it.
At this moment, the two men who had been guarding outside the secret room walked back. The two of them came in front of the bandit chief and bowed respectfully.
Just as they were about to report the mission, the bandit chief sitting on the high seat suddenly flipped his hands and punched the two of them.
BANG! BANG!
The fist wind whistled, and a series of explosive sounds erupted in the trembling air, directly piercing through the two of them.
The two subordinates didn't even have time to scream before they died on the spot. They fell straight to the ground with two muffled sounds.
What's the situation?
This scene stunned everyone in the hall.
The originally noisy hall fell into a strange silence.
Everyone's gaze landed on the bandit chief.
