Chapter 776: Chapter 774, Walk Right into the Trap

In the darkness of the night.

Xu Wendong’s figure moved through the mountains like a nimble spirit monkey, eventually arriving in front of the cluster of buildings halfway up the mountain.

”Who are you?” Xu Wendong had just appeared when a disciple of the Heifeng Stockade blocked his way.

Both were Foundation Establishment cultivators, now standing vigilant, staring at Xu Wendong.

Xu Wendong politely said, ”Hello, brothers, my name is Xu Wenqiang. I have heard that the Heifeng Stockade is a gathering place for heroes, and so I have come to admire it, hoping to join as one of you.” Saying this, he presented two Spirit Stones to them as a tribute.

Seeing how tactful Xu Wendong was, the two disciples of the Heifeng Stockade brightened up and their gazes softened considerably. After all, nobody could refuse such a person.

A middle-aged man accepted the Spirit Stones, laughed, and said, ”Coincidentally, the four bosses are discussing matters in the Hall of Heroes. Come with me.”

”Alright!” Xu Wendong eagerly followed behind, not without marveling at how money truly makes the world go round, whether in the secular world or the cultivation realm.

In front of the Hall of Heroes, the middle-aged man let Xu Wendong wait outside for a moment, then entered the hall and said to the four bosses, ”There is a brother who wishes to seek refuge with us at the Heifeng Stockade. I brought him here because he seemed clever. Would you like to see him?”

The chief, Cai Jin, sat in his chair and casually asked, ”How is his cultivation level?”

”Foundation Establishment.”

Upon hearing this, all four of them frowned involuntarily.

Foundation Establishment cultivators are not common, and even though the Heifeng Stockade has many Foundation Establishment experts, they are all cultivated from within the stockade.

There had never been a case where a Foundation Establishment expert joined them, especially since many loose cultivators had gone to the secular world. Why would anyone join the Heifeng Stockade?

Cai Jin said indifferently, ”Let him in then.”

”Yes!” The middle-aged man exited and returned shortly after with Xu Wendong, bringing him into the Hall of Heroes.

In the instant they saw Xu Wendong, a flash of unseen light crossed the eyes of the four leaders of the Heifeng Stockade.

”Younger Xu Wenqiang, pays respects to the four seniors!” Xu Wendong bowed humbly and saluted the four.

The second boss, Guan He, looked at Xu Wendong with a teasing gaze, ”Your cultivation level isn’t bad. Why do you want to join my Heifeng Stockade?”

Xu Wendong politely replied, ”Water flows downwards, people move upwards. This young one seeks a strong backer.”

His reasoning was indeed logical.

Cai Jin showed a smile full of implications, ”Raise your head.”

Xu Wendong suppressed his inner tension and slowly raised his head.

Cai Jin smiled slightly, ”Should I call you Xu Wenqiang or Xu Wendong?”

Boom!

Those simple words were like a bolt from the blue.

Xu Wendong’s face was filled with shock, and he immediately retreated backward.

However.

Guan He was faster, stepping forward to block his retreat, then kicking him several meters away.

”You Xu, didn’t you know you’re wanted by the Azure Dragon Stronghold?” Guan He laughed heartily, ”The ridiculous thing is you even thought of changing your name to sneak into our Heifeng Stockade. Did you really think we’d never seen your portrait?”

The other three burst into laughter as well, each looking at Xu Wendong with amused smiles.

”Captured by you, I have nothing to say.” Xu Wendong clutched his chest, his face unusually weak, his gaze showing a hint of relief.

Guan He asked with interest, ”Tell us, why is the Azure Dragon Stronghold after you?”

Xu Wendong grinned, ”If I tell you, will you let me go?”

His smile appeared somewhat mad, especially with blood staining all his teeth, it was a gruesome sight.

Slap!

Guan He slapped Xu Wendong’s face from a distance, eyes cold, ”Xu, you’re a turtle in a jar now. What right do you have to bargain with us?”

Xu Wendong was dazed from the slap.

But the killing intent in his heart grew even stronger, as this was the first time someone slapped his face.

He glared at Guan He, wanting to tear him apart.

”What are you staring at? Not convinced?” Guan He raised his palm to slap again, but was stopped by Cai Jin, ”Second Brother, that’s enough. Our task is only to capture Xu Wendong and deliver him to Yao Tian. If we kill him, we won’t be able to use him to our advantage.”

Hearing this, Guan He reluctantly lowered his hand.

In fact, helping the Azure Dragon Stronghold capture Xu Wendong was advantageous to them, not just a favor. If they succeeded, they could exchange for ten medicinal herbs aged a thousand years and a hundred Spirit Stones.

Such supplies were not a small temptation for them.

The third boss, Qiu Tai, laughed and marveled, ”The Azure Dragon Stronghold just issued the wanted order today, and by nightfall this guy walks into our trap. We really were destined to make a big haul at the Heifeng Stockade!”

”Stop it, look at the dejected expression on this guy’s face. I bet he regrets it so much he wants to kill himself,” the fourth, Jia Hong, couldn’t help but laugh out loud, even though he didn’t intend to.

Cai Jin also revealed a less than honorable smile. They had been discussing ways to capture Xu Wendong, yet who would have thought he’d walk right into their arms effortlessly?

With a pause, he waved his hand and said, ”The three of you go and rest first. Tomorrow, I’ll escort Xu Wendong to the Azure Dragon Stronghold for the reward.”

Guan He volunteered, ”Big Brother, you don’t need to handle such a trivial matter personally. Leave it to me.”

”No, I need to go to the Azure Dragon Stronghold myself.” Cai Jin’s gaze turned somewhat serious as he needed to see if the chief of the Azure Dragon Stronghold was about to break through.

This was important to him.

Reluctantly, Guan He backed down. He initially wanted to force Xu Wendong to reveal why the Azure Dragon Stronghold was after him but couldn’t defy the chief’s words.

After the three left, Cai Jin set up a barrier with a wave of his hand before looking at Xu Wendong.

Before he could speak, Xu Wendong let out a long breath, smiling as he said, ”Chief Cai, was my performance just now not realistic, impeccable?”

”······” Cai Jin had a face full of incredulity, ”What do you mean?”

Xu Wendong picked up the nearby water jug, poured a cup, and rinsed his mouth before smiling at his counterpart, ”You didn’t really believe I walked into the trap, did you?”

”Isn’t that the case?” Cai Jin looked at Xu Wendong curiously, increasingly feeling this guy was hard to read.

Xu Wendong said, ”I did walk into the trap, but my purpose was to save you from a disaster.” With those words, he took out a letter given by Wang Qian, wrapped it in soul force, and sent it flying before Cai Jin.

”Read this letter. Once you do, you should understand why I chose to ’walk into the trap’.” With this, he showed a smile full of hidden meanings.
