Chapter 30

"wang lie, you actually dared to injure the martial artist our family invited!" wang ding immediately flew into a rage.

"wang ding, I am your uncle. How could your father have taught you to be so disrespectful? Do you know what respect is?" Seeing Ye Xiwén display his might, Wang Lie felt greatly reassured and retorted without hesitation, "You actually protect this kind of waste. Didn't you hear what he said just now? That was an insult to the One Yuan Sect. Are you complaining that our Wang family is developing too well? If you drag us down, can you bear the consequences?"

Wang Ding turned pale and red with anger, secretly annoyed that those martial artists were all useless, not a single one of them was competent, and they were beaten so badly by a teenager.

"Wang Lie, you wait and see!" With a nasty look on his face, Wang Ding could only leave in a huff.

"Too refreshing! This bastard has never taken me seriously since childhood. Now I've finally gotten some revenge!" Wang Lie laughed heartily, finally venting years of pent-up frustration.

The surrounding martial artists looked at Ye Xiwén differently, no longer daring to underestimate him as they had before.

"When do we set out?" Ye Xiwén asked Wang Lie.

"We set out in the afternoon, and we'll enter the city tonight!" Wang Lie replied.

Enter the city at night? Are we trying to avoid someone?

Ye Xiwén didn't think much about it. Wang Lie probably didn't know much either; otherwise, given their relationship, there would be no reason for him not to say anything.

After a while, Wang Lie had other things to attend to, and Ye Xiwén found a place to sit down, closing his eyes to rest. Throughout the morning, more than a dozen martial artists arrived, all of them at the Sixth Level of the Later Heaven stage or higher, with formidable strength.

"Thank you all for taking on this mission this time!" As noon approached, an old man with a slight hunchback appeared at the door. "I am Wang Deying, the steward of the Wang family. I will be in charge of leading this mission!"

"Ah, it's the Swift Blade Wang, I have heard much about you!" A martial artist stepped forward and clasped his hands in greeting.

"So, he is the Swift Blade Wang Deying who roamed the Qingfeng Mountains a hundred miles wide twenty years ago. I didn't expect him to become a servant in the Wang family!"

"Thank you all for your cooperation. Please get ready; we will set out shortly!" Wang Deying said solemnly.

After everyone had gathered, Ye Xiwén followed the Wang family's convoy to escort the herbs. However, what puzzled Ye Xiwén was that no one from the Wang family appeared, only an old steward and some of the Wang family's guards, and Wang Lie didn't show up either.

This made Ye Xiwén uneasy. The escort mission itself was already strange, escorting a batch of herbs for three thousand low-grade spirit stones, indicating that this mission was very important. The number of spirit stones was directly proportional to the difficulty of the mission. Yet, in this situation, the Wang family only sent an old steward, which was somewhat bizarre.

At this point, the martial artists also felt something was off. Their years of living on the edge told them that something was amiss, and they all fell silent, no longer joking around.

The convoy moved slowly. After about an hour and a half, there was a commotion up ahead.

"Chen Long, Chen Hu, the two leaders of the Qingfeng Fort are here. I didn't expect this to be just a cart of ordinary herbs, not worth the two of you coming in person!" Wang Deying's voice came from the front.

Qingfeng Fort!

There was some commotion among the martial artists. Qingfeng Fort was well-known in the area. The Qingfeng Mountains were surrounded by many mountains, and the people were fierce, with many bandits and mountain outlaws. Qingfeng Fort was the largest of them, and its two leaders, Chen Long and Chen Hu, were notorious. They were said to be a pair of brothers with extremely high strength, both at the peak of the Eighth Level of the Later Heaven stage. Together, they could even match a Ninth Level Later Heaven expert.

For these martial artists, the two leaders of Qingfeng Fort were a significant deterrent.

"Are they really just ordinary herbs, Wang Deying? You were once a formidable fighter and a respected senior. Don't play dumb with me. Are you trying to bully us for being inexperienced?" At the front of the group, a hundred or so men blocked the road. The two leaders, both muscular and rough-looking, had a striking resemblance, clearly the two leaders of Qingfeng Fort, Chen Long and Chen Hu.

"Of course not. However, our Qingfeng Trading Company and your Qingfeng Fort have always been on good terms. We have never neglected to send gifts during the holidays. Why are you making things difficult for us this time?" Wang Deying said in a steady, powerful voice.

"We don't want to make things difficult. Just hand over the herbs in the back, and we'll leave!" Chen Long, the older of the two leaders, said.

"Hmph, so you two are willing to turn against us, the Qingfeng Trading Company. We have always been kind to others, but we are not made of clay. You won't have it easy either!" Wang Deying continued.

"Enough talk. Do you think we didn't consider this before we came out? People die for wealth, birds die for food. After this job, do you think we will stay in this area?" Chen Hu laughed loudly.

"Enough talk. Since you won't hand them over, don't blame us for being impolite. Men, attack!"

Immediately, a group of bandits from Qingfeng Fort charged forward with wild cries, and the two leaders, Chen Long and Chen Hu, led the charge with a loud laugh.

"Everyone, follow me, attack!" Wang Deying roared, leaping into the air with a step. He drew a long sword, and a cold light illuminated the sky, creating a fierce wind as he slashed down at Chen Long and Chen Hu.

The two leaders of Qingfeng Fort drew their weapons, a mace, and charged forward with wild cries.

"Boom!" The long sword and the mace collided, and a terrifying force spread from the point of impact, forming a fearsome gale.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect the Swift Blade, who once dominated the area, to be just this much!" Chen Long laughed loudly, engaging Wang Deying.

"Hahaha, the Swift Blade is just this much. Old man, you're too old!" Chen Hu also laughed loudly in agreement.

Chen Hu, a towering figure, swung his mace, and any guards or martial artists from the Qingfeng Trading Company who were hit had their bones shattered.

"What do we do? Those two are too strong. If no one stops them, we will all be slaughtered!" A martial artist said with a pale face.

The other martial artists also said with lingering fear, not expecting to encounter the two leaders of Qingfeng Fort here. This escort mission was indeed not simple.

Suddenly, a figure charged out, heading straight for Chen Hu.
