Chapter 1418: Lonely Tiger's Den (I)
"Then what should I do now?" Hu Yifan looked at the tall and thin man as if he understood everything, and couldn't help but ask again.
"There is another way, which is what I just wanted to say......" The tall and thin man closed his eyes slightly, then looked at Hu Yifan and smiled coldly, "We can cooperate-"
"You mean, you 'Nine Tombs and One Clan' are cooperating with our 'Vermilion Wing Faction'?" Hu Yifan looked at the confident expression of the tall and thin man and asked cautiously.
"We, the 'Nine Tombs Clan', know a lot of clues about the treasures of the Demon Master, and are experts in tomb robbing and treasure hunting, but unfortunately there are not enough people...... "The tall and thin man continued, "And your 'Vermilion Winged Faction' has enough manpower, but unfortunately there are no clues and progress...... If we work together, we can not only help each other, but also be one step ahead of the other and find the whereabouts of that treasure, so why not do it?"
"Why should I believe you?" Hu Yifan asked cautiously, still cautiously.
"Our people are now in your hands, life and death are all decided by you, do you think I still need to lie to you now?" the tall and thin man asked with a smile, and then said, "And if you really don't feel at ease, you can escort us to your master's side first, and I will ......talk to your master myself."
Hu Yifan didn't answer immediately, and stood in place and thought for a while.
"There is only one chance, Brother Hu has to think clearly......" The tall and thin man even called him "Brother Hu" in order to "set close".
"Okay, forgive me, you don't dare to play any tricks......" After thinking about it, Hu Yifan seemed to agree with the decision of the "Nine Tombs and One Clan", and nodded in response.
After hearing this, the tall and thin man couldn't help but smile.
"Boss, do you really want to bring them back to the master? In case the master blames him......" Hu Yifan's subordinates were still a little jealous, and couldn't help but step forward and ask quietly.
"The master is bent on getting the treasure of the demon master, but until now there has been no progress......," Hu Yifan replied, "I believe that the master is also an assertive person, seeing and knowing the facts, no matter what the outcome of this matter is, he will personally decide ......"
"What do you mean ?......," the subordinate continued.
"Take them back first, everything is subject to the master's fate-" Hu Yifan said bluntly, and then ordered his subordinates to bring the people of the "Nine Tombs and One Clan" back to their stronghold in the form of escort......
On the other hand, Su Jia took Gui Xinxin to escape from the encirclement of the "Vermilion Wing Faction" and temporarily stayed on a hill not far away to rest.
Because Gui Xinxin was a little injured and couldn't travel too far, Su Jia helped Gui Xinxin heal while repairing, and it didn't take long for Gui Xinxin to ease up......
"Here, Xiao Gui, this is your knife ......" After escaping from danger, Su Jia still said with a smile on her usual face.
"Thank you, big sister......" Gui Xinxin thanked her, unexpectedly Su Jia was not only strong in martial arts, but also good at medical skills, Gui Xinxin couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Big sister, you are so powerful, and you are actually ...... Do you know how to heal?"
"Of course, after so many years of experience abroad, I have come through ups and downs, and I have also learned a lot of skills......" Su Jia still smiled slowly, showing a friendly expression and said, "It's you, Xiao Gui, I didn't expect you to be so bold at such a young age, in order to save me, dare to fight with those villains of the 'Vermilion Wing Faction'......"
"Big sister, don't laugh at me, in the end, it's not the other way around, big sister, you saved me......" Gui Xinxin said with some guilt.
"I mean really, I didn't expect you to have a chivalrous heart at a young age, which ......is rare," Su Jia smiled from the bottom of her heart.
"But if you have a chivalrous heart and no ability, you can't change anything......" Thinking of the scene where she had just fallen into trouble, the danger of being invincible with two fists and four hands, Gui Xinxin said with a little inferiority, "Although I worship Sister Su, after all, I don't have the ability like her, and it is ......far from enough to protect the people of Liusha Town and be a heroine who helps the world."
"I'm sure you can succeed one day—" Su Jia smiled confidently.
"Really?......" Seeing Su Jia constantly encouraging herself, Gui Xinxin blushed slightly, and then thought of the "rescue" scene just now, Gui Xinxin couldn't help asking, "Then again, big sister, who are you, you have such powerful martial arts, and you can beat those 'Vermilion Wing Faction' villains down in a few moves......
Su Jia smiled faintly and said calmly: "I said it, I am Su Jia——"
"Okay, big sister, don't joke......" However, Gui Xinxin still didn't believe Su Jia's words, after all, Su Jia had changed her appearance, and Gui Xinxin couldn't recognize it at a glance.
"Hey, if you don't believe it, forget it......" Su Jia sighed with a smile, and then said in a tight voice, "By the way, Xiao Gui, since you are out of danger, then you should go back to Liusha Town first-"
"What, isn't the big sister with me?" Gui Xinxin looked at Su Jia as if she had other plans, and couldn't help asking.
"I still have some things to investigate...... Su Jia stood up and said seriously.
"Investigate, what is ...... investigating?" Gui Xinxin continued.
"I'll tell you honestly, when I rescued you at the bottom of the mountain just now, in fact, with my ability, I could easily take the lives of those villains......" Su Jia thought back, "But I didn't do that, because these guys are still useful to me......"
"What is the use ......value?" asked Gui Xinxin, still curious.
"When I was in Liusha Town, the reason why I followed them was because I heard the ......secret about the treasure of the Demon Master," Su Jia continued, "Unfortunately, my companions and I are also looking for that treasure, and we are actively investigating it in order to prevent it from falling into the hands of those evil people......"
"But what does this have to do with those people from the 'Vermilion Wing Sect' and the 'Nine Tombs Clan'?" Gui Xinxin continued to ask.
"I just showed my hands at the foot of the mountain, whether it is someone from the 'Vermilion Wing Sect' or someone from the 'Nine Tombs Clan', I will definitely think that there are masters who are also investigating the secrets of the treasure. In order to be the first to be in the front, I guess they will definitely work together to investigate the whole thing......" Su Jia continued, "Because of the secret of the Demon Master's treasure, there are constantly enemies sneaking into the town, and even affecting the safety of the people of Liusha Town, so I can't ignore ......"
"What do you want to do, big sister?" Gui Xinxin continued to ask.
"Haven't you heard?, let go of a rat and end up the whole rat nest," Su Jia chuckled at the corner ......of her mouth.
"Big sister means...... Follow them?" Gui Xinxin understood at once, and couldn't help but sigh.
"That's right, whether it's the 'Vermilion Wing Faction' or the 'Nine Tombs Clan', there must be a bigger force behind them...... Su Jia said firmly, "It is now imperative to follow them to the main stronghold and find the mastermind behind the whole incident...... Since God has given me this opportunity, I can't miss it-"
"In that case, I'm going to go too—" After Gui Xinxin heard this, she suddenly stood up and said.
"You?" Su Jia looked at Gui Xinxin's figure, thinking about the danger at the bottom of the mountain just now, Su Jia Insurance said, "This is not good, in case Xiao Gui you encounter danger again......
"I'm not afraid—" Gui Xinxin straightened up and said, "After Sister Su Jia saved Liusha Town three years ago, I vowed to be like her and become a heroine in the future...... The secret of the Demon Master's treasure is related to the safety of the people of the entire Liusha Town, as a member of Liusha Town, I have to take this responsibility and find out the whole thing!"
"Little Gui ......" Su Jia looked at Gui Xinxin's resolute expression, saw the shadow of her childhood from her, and couldn't help but smile slightly, so she nodded and agreed, "Okay, I promise you to act with me...... But I made it clear in advance, following those people to the stronghold, this is a dangerous situation deep into the tiger's den, all actions must be under my command, and you must not act recklessly like just now!"
"Well, I listen to my big sister in everything-" Gui Xinxin nodded in response, full of trust in Su Jia......
So, Su Jia took Gui Xinxin with him, quietly followed the trajectory of Hu Yifan and others along the road just now, and went to the enemy's "stronghold......
After noon, Hu Yifan returned to the stronghold with the people of the "Nine Tombs and One Clan......
"Here, here......" Hu Yifan said, pointing to a cave in front of him.
"This is the stronghold of your 'Vermilion Wing Faction'?" On the side of the Nine Tombs Clan, the tall and thin man couldn't help laughing, "It's really sad and lamentable, thinking that three years ago, your 'Vermilion Wing Faction' was showing off its might in Liusha Town, but I can't imagine that now it has fallen into such a small land, it's really sad and lamentable......"
"Hmph, don't talk nonsense, at least you are still a 'captive' now, before you meet your master, it's best to give me a little more ......" Hu Yifan said coldly to the tall and thin man, and seemed to be very disdainful of the other party talking to him in a biased manner.
The tall and thin man just smiled slightly and didn't say anything more......
After a long time, Hu Yifan walked to the entrance of the cave and shouted at the cave: "Master Qiqi, we are back-"
"Is it the master of the Hu Hall?......" The outline inside gradually became apparent, and the person who came out was actually Ma Lingfeng's master, Jin Yindao.
It turned out that since the disintegration of the "Vermilion Wing Faction" three years ago, it has always been the remnants of the "Vermilion Wing Faction" that have been manipulated by the Jinyindao people and have set up a stronghold outside the eastern suburbs of the town to form a confrontation force with Liusha Town. And the several intrusions of the "Vermilion Wing Sect" were also carried out by the people of the Golden and Silver Dao, and the purpose was naturally for the treasure of the legendary demon master......
"The two seniors are adorned with gold and silver clothes, could it be that they are the legendary gold and silver Taoist known as the 'Western Regions Demon Master'?" the tall and thin man seemed to recognize the gold and silver Taoist people, and couldn't help but say in a condensed voice.
"Who are you?" Seeing that the other party recognized him, and felt that the other party was not good, the silver Taoist asked cautiously first.
"I forgot to introduce myself...... tall and thin man said humbly, "In Xia Han Chenghu, the master of the Muxiang Hall of the 'Nine Tombs Clan'-" It turned out that this tall and thin man was named "Han Chenghu", and he couldn't imagine that the people of the "Nine Tombs and One Clan" kidnapped by Hu Yifan with drugs had such a high status.
"You are the people of the 'Nine Tombs and One Clan'?" Jin Yindao seemed to know Hu Yifan's plan from the beginning, and Jin Daoren asked with some disdain, "Hmph, as the head of a gang, he was actually held hostage by my subordinates so easily, it seems that the people of the 'Nine Tombs and One Clan' have no ability......"
This sentence is obviously a contempt for the "Nine Tombs and One Clan", but Han Chenghu didn't seem to care, and continued to smile coldly: "No, no, our 'Nine Tombs and One Clan' are good at robbing tombs, and we may not have a few hands on the rivers and lakes, even if we are captured by your rats, there is no ridiculous meaning......
"Who do you say is the rat generation?——" Hu Yifan listened to Han Chenghu scolding himself in a different way, and couldn't help but say a word.
However, at the critical moment, the Yindao people stopped Hu Yifan's impulse, and then said: "Having said that, there must be a reason why you can remain so calm when you are caught by our people...... You deliberately came here with us, as a guest, I'm afraid you have something to ask for, right?"
"It's really worthy of being a silver senior, a word to wake up the people......" Han Chenghu continued to smile and said, "Whether it's our 'Nine Tombs Clan' or your 'Vermilion Wing Sect', they are all looking for clues to the treasure of the demon master...... However, something happened on the way today, and two women secretly followed us, obviously our purpose was to let others find out ......" The "two women" in Han Chenghu's mouth naturally referred to Su Jia and Gui Xinxin.
"?...... discovered," the silver man was stunned, and then calmed down and said, "So what? Mr. Han came back with my subordinates today to see us, what is it for......?"
Seeing that he had finally talked about the key points of the topic, Han Chenghu then smiled and said, "Now our 'Nine Tombs and One Clan' and your 'Vermilion Wing Faction' have both encountered a dilemma and encountered their own difficulties...... I was thinking that maybe we could work together so that we could do more with less......"
"Want to cooperate with us?" Hmph......" Jin Daoren listened to it, and smiled secretly on the side.
"What's so funny?" Looking at Jin Daoren's inexplicable smiling face, Han Chenghu couldn't help but ask.
"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Mr. Han...... Jin Daoren opened his eyes and said with a sneer, "Although your 'Nine Tombs and One Clan' are tomb robbers in the rivers and lakes, and the treasures of the world are at your fingertips, but this time I am afraid that you don't need ......."
"Because we have already found the whereabouts of the Demon Master's treasure——" The Silver Daoist laughed at the Golden Daoist's words.
Hearing this, Han Chenghu was taken aback, and couldn't help asking, "What, you guys...... Have you found the whereabouts of the treasure of the demon master?" It seems that Han Chenghu himself did not expect that the "Vermilion Wing Faction" would actually take a step ahead of him and find the clue of the treasure.
"Hear it, we don't need your cooperation......" When Hu Yifan heard this, he was already disdainful of Han Chenghu, and took the opportunity to mock, "So you 'Nine Tombs and One Clan' are dead in this heart, and the treasure belongs to our 'Vermilion Wing Sect'-"
"Cut ......" Han Chenghu heard this, as if things were out of his expectations, and he couldn't help but say a word.
"No, even if we know the whereabouts of the treasure, we still hope to cooperate with you 'Nine Tombs Clan'......" However, who would want the Silver Dao people to suddenly turn around......
