Travel through a martial arts world and gain a little breakthrough every day.

Chapter 105 Is this a knock-off? This is practically a city!

After having breakfast, Lin Feng and Zhao Dadan rode away from the mountain stronghold together.

Lin Feng discovered that there were many road signs carved on the big trees in the forest.

However, these road signs were sometimes facing forward and sometimes backward, and Lin Feng couldn't find any pattern. If he didn't know how to read the road signs, he would definitely get lost.

Lin Feng couldn't remember the route even after walking for a while.

The two ran through the mountains for half a day before finally arriving at the headquarters of the Heavenly Serpent Gang in the afternoon.

Lin Feng stood in front of the Heavenly Serpent Gang's headquarters, his mouth agape.

This mountain village was a little different from what he had imagined.

This is no longer a knock-off; it can be called a city.

It's even bigger than the town where the Iron Rod Gang was based.

How exactly was this three-zhang-high stone wall built?

This is deep in the mountains and forests, where would we find so many laborers to build stone walls?

Lin Feng realized that everyone had underestimated the Heavenly Serpent Gang.

Seeing Lin Feng's surprised expression, Zhao Dadan smiled and said, "Brother Zhang, how is it?"

"Is my Heavenly Serpent Gang's headquarters still presentable?"

"That's pretty good. I thought the headquarters of the Heavenly Serpent Gang was just a mountain stronghold that was a bit bigger than Brother Zhao's village."

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a city.

It's truly breathtaking.

"Haha, let's go to the city and take a look."

The two men led their horses into the city.

Zhao Dadan had a pass token, and the two of them passed the city gate guards' inspection smoothly.

Lin Feng discovered that the city gate guards had actually kept a record.

Moreover, the city walls were manned every three steps and guarded every five steps, making the defenses extremely tight.

The fact that they've gone on such a large scale suggests that the Heavenly Serpent Gang probably has bigger schemes up their sleeves; they can't possibly be just eyeing the meager profits of ordinary people.

In the city, the roads are smooth and flat, and pedestrians come and go in an endless stream.

There are also various shops and street vendors along the roadside.

It looks just like a proper city.

The city is well-ordered.

Every now and then, a patrol team would pass by Lin Feng.

Lin Feng checked the attribute panels of these patrolmen and shuddered in fright.

The words "Demonic Sect" appeared on the attribute panel of a patrol leader.

Faction/Affiliation: Wanhua Valley, Hehuan Sect, peripheral male disciple.

Could it be that the City Lord's Mansion is colluding with the Demonic Sect?

That would escalate the situation.

Colluding with bandits and colluding with the demonic sect are completely different concepts.

Seeing that Lin Feng's expression was not good, Zhao Dadan asked, "Brother Zhang, what's wrong?"

Lin Feng quickly composed himself. "It's nothing. I've been wanted by the police the whole time. I feel uneasy whenever I enter a well-ordered city like this. I'm always afraid that the constables will rush out and arrest me."

"Hahaha, you have nothing to fear at the headquarters of the Heavenly Serpent Gang."

However, the rules in the main office are very strict, and no one is allowed to cause trouble.

Brother Zhang, you should probably tone it down.

"My little brother understands."

Lin Feng was placed in a three-story building.

There were many similar three-story buildings around him, presumably places where martial artists from the Jianghu (martial arts world) were housed.

There is also a square in front of the small building for people to enjoy.

Lin Feng didn't have any luggage, so Zhao Dadan told Lin Feng to leave his broadsword at his lodgings and then took him out for a stroll.

The city has restaurants, brothels, and a full range of entertainment facilities.

The silver earned by the bandits could be spent directly at the main headquarters, and the silver eventually returned to the hands of the bandit leader.

This is a perfect business closed loop.

The two first went to a restaurant for a meal, where the prices were at least 50% higher than outside.

After the two had eaten and drunk their fill,

Zhao Dadan led Lin Feng for a walk around the square in the center of the city.

He pointed to the deep pit in the middle of the square, which was a hundred meters in diameter, and said, "That is the residence of Lord Tian She and his descendants."

Traitors or spies who are caught will be thrown there and offered as sacrifices to Lord Tian She.

Of course, ordinary martial artists like Lord Tian She would not eat it; it was all fed to Lord Tian She's descendants.

Only virgin boys and girls, and martial artists at the Skin Refining stage or above, will personally enjoy this.

Lin Feng said bitterly, "I hate traitors and spies the most. They should be beaten half to death first, and then thrown down to be offered to Lord Tian She."

While Lin Feng said this, he was thinking that with his lightness ability, he couldn't jump out of this snake pit.

What should I do to escape if I fall?

After walking around the city, Zhao Dadan went to meet the second-in-command. He dropped Lin Feng off at his lodgings and then left.

Lin Feng lay in bed unable to sleep, thinking about how to spread the news about the bandits and the Demonic Sect.

If a carrier pigeon flies into this city, it will surely be shot down.

It's not so easy for me to leave the city.

Everyone entering or leaving this city needs to be led by someone from within the bandit group.

It seems this matter cannot be rushed; we must slowly look for opportunities.

If I get one of the top spots in the martial arts competition, I can become the leader.

Regardless of who the leader is, they are all leaders among the bandits, and they will be much freer then.

For now, just stay put, eat well, sleep well, and don't worry about anything else.

……

Zhao Dadan didn't return until the next morning.

When he returned, Zhao Dadan was already extremely weak.

Lin Feng felt as if he had lost more than ten pounds of flesh, and his muscles seemed to have shrunk.

Zhao Dadan walked with a limp, his eyes were sunken and lifeless, he looked like a dried-up corpse.

His appearance startled Lin Feng. "Brother Zhao, what happened to you? You seem to be seriously injured?"

A silly grin spread across Zhao Dadan's face. "No, it's nothing."

"To die beneath the peony blossoms, even as a ghost, is to be romantic."

Lin Feng guessed that this guy must have had his Yin replenished by that second-in-command.

The saying "Wine is a poison that burns through the intestines, and lust is a steel knife that scrapes the bones" is absolutely true.

Zhao Dadan's one-night stand will likely cost him several years' worth of training.

Zhao Dadan said to Lin Feng, "Brother Zhang, I mentioned you to the Second Boss, and he is very interested in you."

Let me take you to meet her tomorrow.

Lin Feng's heart skipped a beat. He wasn't a lecherous man like Zhao Dadan. His sister had a family, and he couldn't mess around like that when they were out together.

If it were the second-in-command, everyone would be more polite, which would be better.

If the second-in-command forces himself on me, then I will have no choice but to fight back to the death.

The key is that my martial arts skills are hard-earned, and it would be a huge loss if someone were to use them to replenish my yin energy.

Zhao Dadan's words really angered Lin Feng.

Lin Feng wandered around the small square for a long time and quickly came up with a way to counter it.

His method would make the second-in-command completely lose interest in him.
