CHAPTER 423: CHAPTER 421: LEADER OF THE THREE WOLVES: BLACK WIND WOLF

"Wipe out the Luo Family entirely!"

Upon hearing Cangxuan’s words, Black Wind Wolf, despite being the leader of a camp, broke out in a cold sweat.

A moment later, Black Wind Wolf managed to compose himself, looked at Cangxuan, and said in a deep voice, "However, Luo Feng is now the top new talent, and he also did Tianlan School a great favor during the New Talent Conference. If we do this, won’t Tianlan School and Purple Sun School hold us accountable?"

"That’s why this matter is a family secret and must not be known to outsiders," Cangxuan said, glancing meaningfully at Black Wind Wolf.

Hearing this, Black Wind Wolf was overjoyed. Cangxuan’s words implied he was now considered an ally. Being able to establish a relationship with the Duanmu Family, one of the six major families, was undoubtedly a good thing for Black Wind Camp.

Cangxuan observed Black Wind Wolf’s expression and nodded inwardly. His visit to Black Wind Camp this time was precisely to win over Black Wind Wolf. The Duanmu Family, as one of the six major families, faced inconveniences in handling many matters directly. Some unsavory tasks could be assigned to Black Wind Camp.

"Elder Cangxuan, since the Eldest Son has already gone to Panlong City, and the Family Head’s fortieth birthday is in three days, your trip to Panlong City is for...?" Black Wind Wolf asked, looking at Cangxuan.

Cangxuan took a deep breath and said, "Half a month is enough time for the Eldest Son to travel to Panlong City and return. Logically, they should have been back by now. Yet, there’s still no news. The Family Head is worried something might have happened and asked me to check on the situation..."

"Hehe, that’s impossible." Black Wind Wolf chuckled and shook his head. "The Luo Family in Panlong City only has one expert, Luotian, whose cultivation is at best mid-stage Ninth Heavenly Court Realm. With the Eldest Son and a Family Elder present, the Luo Family could be wiped out in an instant. You’re overthinking, Elder Cangxuan."

"I hope so," Cangxuan replied with a nod, thinking the same.

Black Wind Wolf stood up and laughed. "Elder Cangxuan, I’ve already prepared a feast. Let’s have a hearty drink!"

THUMP THUMP THUMP...

Just as Cangxuan was about to rise, the sound of urgent footsteps suddenly approached from outside, and several figures rushed into the main hall.

"Didn’t I order that no one is allowed to enter without my permission?" Black Wind Wolf, feeling he had lost face in front of Cangxuan, roared deeply as he saw people barging in.

"Big Brother, it’s me!" The leader of the group looked up, revealing a handsome face. It was Liu Zixuan, the second-in-command of Black Wind Camp.

"Second Brother!" Recognizing the visitor, Black Wind Wolf let out a breath of relief and smiled. "Have you secured the Chen Family’s escorted goods? What are the goods this time?"

Liu Zixuan gritted his teeth but remained silent.

Black Wind Wolf sensed the tense atmosphere, frowned, and asked sternly, "Where’s Third Brother? He went to assist you just now. Why hasn’t he come to see me?"

Liu Zixuan looked up at Black Wind Wolf, then knelt with a THUD! With a face full of indignation, he said, "Big Brother, among the escorts hired by the Chen Family this time was a young expert. We fell for his scheme! Third Brother, he..."

A few nearby members of Black Wind Camp exchanged surprised glances. In reality, Liu Zixuan and Xu Tai had been soundly defeated by the young man. Yet, in Liu Zixuan’s telling, it had somehow become a matter of falling into a trap!

Liu Zixuan shot a fierce, sidelong glare at the men, his eyes filled with a chilling, murderous intent. The threat was unspoken but clear. He would never admit to such a shameful thing as being miserably defeated by a teenager, abandoning Xu Tai to his fate, and fleeing in disarray.

The Black Wind Camp martial artists who met Liu Zixuan’s gaze shuddered and immediately fell silent. Liu Zixuan was known for his cruelty, ruthlessness, and extreme malice; he treated even the members of his own camp with the same viciousness. They dared not offend him.

BOOM!

A violent gust of wind suddenly swept through the hall as a ferocious aura erupted from Black Wind Wolf. His eyes, bloodshot, fixed on Liu Zixuan. "What happened to Third Brother?"

THUD!

Three Black Wind Camp martial artists couldn’t withstand the pressure of Black Wind Wolf’s aura and collapsed to the ground. Liu Zixuan, also pale and sweating profusely, gritted his teeth and said, "Third Brother was defeated and captured. He’s probably already..."

SLAM!

A loud crash shook the entire hall as Black Wind Wolf slammed his palm on the stone table beside him, pulverizing it. His face contorted with rage as he roared, "Who was it? I’ll slaughter his entire clan!"

Hearing this, a cold glint flashed in Liu Zixuan’s eyes. He said, "His name is Feng Luo. He sneak-attacked Third Brother and defeated him. His strength is roughly at the early stage of the Ninth Heavenly Court Realm. Currently, he’s an escort for the Shangfeng Escort Agency. As for any other identities, I don’t know."

Feng Luo... Elder Cangxuan, standing nearby, heard the name and pondered deeply but could find no recollection of it.

"Where are they?" Black Wind Wolf’s face was grim, his voice exuding a bone-chilling cold. A ferocious, icy glint flickered in his tiger-like eyes. He had originally intended to use this escort robbery to showcase the camp’s strength to Elder Cangxuan and secure greater benefits in the future. He hadn’t expected it to backfire so spectacularly, resulting in failure!

"We encountered them near Yixian Cliff. They’re with an escorted caravan, so they can’t have gone far."

"Yixian Cliff. Very good!" The scar at the corner of Black Wind Wolf’s eye twitched. He took a deep breath and snarled, "Send out the order! Everyone gather in the square immediately! I want to see who’s so daring as to harm people from my Black Wind Camp!"

Liu Zixuan watched Black Wind Wolf’s murderous expression. Kid, you’re as good as dead this time!

After giving the order, Black Wind Wolf turned to Elder Cangxuan beside him. "Elder Cangxuan, I’ve made a fool of myself. Please wait here for a moment; I’ll be right back."

Elder Cangxuan rose from his seat, a keen light flashed in his narrowed eyes. "No matter. I’ll go with you. I also want to see who this Feng Luo is."

Just as the three of them were preparing to leave, a Black Wind Camp martial artist rushed into the hall in a panic, fell to his knees with a THUD, and cried out, "Boss, terrible news!"

Black Wind Wolf was already seething. Seeing someone else barge in so recklessly, a murderous glint flashed in his eyes. He asked coldly, "We have an esteemed guest here! Why are you in such a state? Have you no decorum? Don’t tell me someone is attacking the camp!"

The kneeling martial artist trembled, his face deathly pale. He stammered, "B-Boss... it’s... an emergency. Someone really is attacking the camp!"

"What!"

Everyone in the hall was stunned. Black Wind Wolf himself could hardly believe his ears. Someone actually dared to storm his Black Wind Camp!

After a moment, Black Wind Wolf recovered from his shock, his face ashen. He strode forward quickly, grabbed the reporting martial artist by the collar, and lifted him from the ground. "Is this true?"

"Boss, it’s absolutely true!" the martial artist replied, his face like chalk.

"How is this possible? Someone dares to storm Black Wind Camp?"

"Something like this hasn’t happened for two years, has it?"

"Who could be so audacious?!"

The few Black Wind Camp martial artists in the hall were thoroughly shocked by this news and began to whisper among themselves.

Liu Zixuan, as if remembering something, suddenly asked, "How many of them are there? What do they look like?"

"Two people. A fifteen- or sixteen-year-old youth, and a girl in red armor," the martial artist answered, his expression strange.

Two people? Could it be him?!

Liu Zixuan’s face twitched violently, his eyes wide with shock and disbelief.

Seeing Liu Zixuan’s expression, Black Wind Wolf dropped the martial artist he was holding and asked coldly, "Second Brother, do you know who they are?"

Liu Zixuan, regaining his composure, nodded, a trace of disbelief still on his face. "He’s the youth who ambushed and defeated Third Brother—Feng Luo! The girl must be Yao Qing, daughter of the Head of the Shangfeng Escort Agency. She must be here to avenge her father."

"Avenge her father? Ridiculous!" Black Wind Wolf sneered, the scar near his eye twitching fiercely. "Good! They’ve saved me the trouble of finding them. Pass down the order: seal the mountain paths! Don’t let them escape!"

"Yes!" The Black Wind Camp martial artists, their scalps tingling from the intense killing intent emanating from Black Wind Wolf, acknowledged the order and rushed out.

"I’ll make them understand that daring to storm my Black Wind Camp leads to only one end—death!" Black Wind Wolf snorted coldly, a murderous glint in his eyes. With a grim face, he strode out of the hall. He was in a terrible mood. It had been a long time since anyone had dared to oppose him. Today, not only had someone harmed his men, but they had also dared to storm his Black Wind Camp. This was a blatant slap in his face!

"Elder Cangxuan, let’s go. We should also see who is audacious enough to storm Black Wind Camp!" Liu Zixuan said with a loud laugh to Cangxuan, looking at Black Wind Wolf’s departing figure.

Cangxuan nodded, a sharp light flickering in his murky eyes. "I’m quite interested myself." For a fifteen- or sixteen-year-old to defeat Xu Tai, the third-in-command of Black Wind Camp, even if by ambush, is already quite remarkable. I want to see what kind of person possesses such boldness and strength.

The group quickly passed through the front hall. From a distance, they could already hear the sounds of intense fighting coming from the square ahead.

Black Wind Wolf’s face was grim. He quickened his pace and soon arrived at the square.

The Black Wind Camp’s square was vast, over a thousand paces in both length and width.

At this moment, the area at the front of the square was a scene of utter chaos.

The main gate in the camp wall had been blasted to pieces. Nearby, a youth in blue martial attire stood resolutely. A beautiful, sword-wielding girl in red armor stood guard beside him. Fresh blood dripped down her sword’s edge to the ground. The dense killing aura emanating from them made people shudder.

Dozens of Black Wind Camp martial artists surrounded the two, but none dared to take a step forward, their faces etched with deep apprehension.

At the feet of the youth and the girl lay the corpses of more than ten Black Wind Camp martial artists!

"Look! The Boss and Second Boss are here!"

"Hahahaha... The Boss is here! Let’s see how arrogant you two can be now!"

"It’s not too late to kneel and beg for mercy!"

Cheers suddenly erupted in the square. The martial artists surrounding Luo Feng and Yao Qing noticed Black Wind Wolf, Liu Zixuan, and the others approaching in the distance, and excitement immediately lit up their faces.

Yao Qing glanced at the newcomers and warned, "Feng Luo, that middle-aged man with the scar near his eye is Black Wind Wolf, the leader of Black Wind Camp. You must be very careful of him!"

Luo Feng’s gaze also shifted to the approaching group. When his eyes landed on Black Wind Wolf, they narrowed slightly.

This man... What an intimidating aura!
