Chapter 42: Chapter 42, Inquiry

What surprised Lu Yun was that the Killing Intent from the other party was rather chaotic and gradually dissipated around Captain Wang.

If Captain Wang stopped killing, the Killing Intent on his body would completely disappear in three to five years.

Of course, this was just Lu Yun’s speculation.

Xiao Chen slightly bowed his hand: “Captain Wang!”

“Young Master Xiao is too polite!” Captain Wang hurriedly returned the courtesy.

“If Young Master Xiao has anything he wants to know, just say it, and I’ll tell everything I know.”

Although there was just a young boy in front of him, he didn’t have any disdain in his heart.

Not to mention standing in front of him, there was a faint sense of danger.

Most importantly, the other party was a disciple of the Martial Academy.

The identity of a Martial Academy disciple was enough to make many people cautious and respectful.

Thinking of this, Captain Wang didn’t dare to underestimate the other party in his heart.

Xiao Chen asked, “Our Martial Academy found that the White Lotus Sect has connections with the mountain bandits in Green Cloud County, and has established a stronghold. We hope that Captain Wang can introduce us to all the information about the mountain bandits.”

“White Lotus Sect?”

Caution appeared on Captain Wang’s face, and his complexion became serious. He then appeared to fall into memory, and after a long time, he slowly began to speak.

“Since Lord Zhao took office as the County Magistrate of Green Cloud County, he has been vigorously rectifying the situation. The gangs in the county have been wiped out one after another, and the mountain bandits have stopped their activities and fled into the deep mountains and forests.

Afterward, the city guards continued to hunt them down. With no other sources of income, most of the mountain bandit forces disbanded.

Now, there are still three mountain bandit forces on a large scale, namely Black Tiger Village, Black Wolf Gang, and White Cloud Villa.”

Xiao Chen and Lu Yun sat there, listening to Captain Wang’s words.

From the other party’s words, it can be seen that he highly respects Zhao Wuji, the County Magistrate, and also obtained some information.

When the other party finished speaking, Lu Yun asked, “White Cloud Villa doesn’t sound like a mountain bandit force, does it?”

“White Cloud Villa used to be White Cloud Mountain Village. After a new Second Master joined them, it didn’t take long for the name to change to White Cloud Villa, and the Second Master transformed into the Villa Master.”

Captain Wang had just finished speaking when Zhao Wuji took over the conversation.

“White Cloud Villa has not been involved in burglary and robbery in recent years, gradually getting rid of the identity of mountain bandits, starting to run their own industry and becoming a part of the county. It should not have much to do with the White Lotus Sect.

I lowever, we need to thoroughly investigate Black Tiger Village and Black Wolf Gang. If they are indeed connected to the White Lotus Sect, 1 will not spare them!”

“This White Cloud Villa is quite interesting?” Lu Yun stroked his chin and thought in secret.

In his opinion, White Cloud Villa must be extraordinary, especially the newly arrived Second Master.

However, Zhao Wuji was not wrong. White Cloud Villa had already gotten rid of their mountain bandit identity.

According to the information from the Martial Academy, Black Tiger Village and Black Wolf Gang were more likely to be the strongholds of the White Lotus Sect.

“Investigating and eliminating the White Lotus Sect stronghold in the Green Cloud County is the mission of my Junior Brother Lu and me on this trip, so Lord Zhao, please rest assured,” said Xiao Chen indifferently.

“Well, since it is a trial mission of the Martial Academy, 1 naturally dare not interfere too much. Moreover, with the strength of Young Master Xiao and Young Master Lu, there should be no problem handling it.”

By the end, Zhao Wuji subtly praised Lu Yun and Xiao Chen.

In fact, what he said was true. Not everyone in the Martial Academy could accept the task of dealing with the Evil Cult forces.

Without enough strength, they could only obediently stay in the Martial Academy and slowly take on those low-contribution tasks. Unless necessary, they were not even allowed to leave the Academy’s gate easily.

After all, those who could enter the Martial Academy had good talents. Once they grew up, they could hold a good position in the various institutions of the court or the army.

“Where are Black Tiger Village, Black Wolf Gang, and White Cloud Villa respectively?”

“Both Black Tiger Village and Black Wolf Gang are in the Green Cloud Mountain Range to the east, while White Cloud Villa is in the outside of the west gate of Green Cloud County, about thirty miles away.” Captain Wang answered this time.

“Located in two opposite directions, this is quite troublesome!” Xiao Chen furrowed his brow slightly.

At this moment, Zhao Wuji suddenly said, “Although this is a trial mission of the Martial Academy, since it happened within Green Cloud County’s territory, I naturally cannot stand idly by. I can provide some simple help.”

Having said that, he looked at Captain Wang and ordered, “Since Young Master Xiao and Young Master Lu are visiting Green Cloud County for the first time and are not very familiar with some places, let Captain Wang guide the two young masters!”

“Thank you, Lord Zhao!”

Xiao Chen did not refuse Zhao Wuji’s proposal. They did need someone familiar with the Green Cloud Mountain Range on this trip. Otherwise, who knows how long it would take for him and Lu Yun to find Black Tiger Village and Black Wolf Gang on their own?

“Today is getting late. If we set off now, it would already be dark before we reach the Green Cloud Mountain Range. Maybe you two should rest for the night and set off tomorrow!”

Xiao Chen and Lu Yun looked at each other, and after nodding their heads together, they said, “Okay, we’ll set off early tomorrow!”

Although it was their first mission, they were not completely inexperienced rookies.

Not only were they unfamiliar with the Green Cloud Mountain Range, but there was also the long journey, which consumed a lot of their True Qi.

If they were not at their peak state and encountered a White Lotus Sect stronghold, it might not be so easy to complete the mission.

With that, Zhao Wuji arranged accommodations for Xiao Chen and Lu Yun.

Originally, Zhao Wuji wanted to set up a banquet for the two in the Bright Moon Building, but it was refused by Lu Yun.

Their mission on this trip was to keep a low profile; otherwise, the White Lotus Sect would discover their clues, secretly move their stronghold, and their mission would end fruitlessly. freew(e)bnovel

“The two young masters have a good rest, and see you tomorrow morning!”

After arranging accommodations for Xiao Chen and Lu Yun, Captain Wang retreated and left.

After Captain Wang left, only Xiao Chen and Lu Yun remained.

Gently closing the door, Lu Yun laughed and said, “Brother Xiao, what do you think of our trip tomorrow?”

“No matter what, tomorrow’s trip to Green Cloud Mountain Range will not be fruitless!”

“Do you think that Black Tiger Village or Black Wolf Gang is connected with the White Lotus Sect, or even one of their strongholds?”

“It’s not impossible, and even if they have nothing to do with the White Lotus Sect, what can be done?

As disciples of the Martial Academy, even if we cannot act on behalf of the heavens, it is our duty to eliminate some mountain bandits that harm the people of Morigin.”

Xiao Chen slowly walked to the window, looking at the slowly rising silver moon, lost in thought.

The bright silver light fell on that somewhat cold face, making the chill on his body even more obvious..
