After dealing with all the bandits, Jiang Qiong walked towards a wooden house in the center of the village.

When he opened the door, he saw Han Mo's fellow disciples being locked inside. They all looked pale and had obviously suffered a lot of torture.

Seeing Jiang Qiong coming in, Han Mo's fellow disciples were stunned for a moment, and then they all showed looks of astonishment.

The elders were even more stunned. They obviously didn't expect that the person who saved them would be Jiang Qiong.

“Senior!” An elder was the first to react. He clasped his fists and saluted, his eyes filled with gratitude. He said, “Thank you very much for saving us. If it weren’t for you, we would have…”

People are not fools.

Jiang Qiong suddenly appeared here, and she had obviously come to rescue him.

The other disciples followed suit and saluted, saying in unison: "Thank you for saving my life, Senior!"

Jiang Qiong nodded calmly, looking at everyone, and said, "No need to be polite. There is no grudge between us. Since you are trapped by the bandits, it is only convenient for me to help you."

Han Mo also followed in at this time, and was relieved to see that his fellow disciples were safe and sound.

He stepped forward, clasped his fists towards the elders and said, "Elders, brothers, it was unfortunate that we were captured before. Fortunately, this senior arrived in time and I was able to escape."

An elder nodded and sighed: "Han Mo, you did a great job..."

Another elder also said: "Yes, Han Mo, you have made a great contribution. It is a blessing for our sect to be rescued by the senior this time."

Han Mo shook his head modestly and said, "Thank you for the compliments, elders. All this is due to the efforts of our predecessors. I have only done my humble part."

Jiang Qiong waved his hand and said, "Okay, no need to be polite. Now that you are out of trouble, leave here quickly. It is not advisable to stay in this mountain village for long."

The elders nodded in agreement.

An elder could not help but speak slowly: "Senior, our sect will definitely remember your kindness. I wonder if you need anything, we will do our best to repay you."

Jiang Qiong shook her head and said, "I helped you and have already agreed on a reward with Han Mo. You don't need to say anything more. The most important thing now is your safety."

"Let's go quickly."

Upon hearing this, the elders bowed deeply to Jiang Qiong again to express their gratitude.

Afterwards, they led their disciples to quickly pack up their luggage and prepare to leave the village.

Just as everyone was about to leave, Han Mo suddenly remembered something, walked over to Jiang Qiong, and asked tentatively:

"Senior, I wonder if you are willing to trade with the plant spirit we mentioned earlier?"

Jiang Qiong looked at Han Mo expressionlessly, which made him feel a little embarrassed. He smiled awkwardly twice and finally gave up.

"This is a teleportation talisman. Please accept it. Once we have prepared the reward, we will teleport you."

Because all their belongings were stolen by the robbers.

Han Mo and the others currently have no items in their hands, so if they want to pay, they can only go back to the sect to raise funds.

"Leave here and come back to me when you have prepared your reward."

Jiang Qiong glanced at Han Mo and said calmly.

"Yes." Han Mo and the elders thanked Jiang Qiong again, and then led the disciples to leave the village quickly.

The firelight from the village was reflected in the distant sky.

In the county town not far from the village, the atmosphere was unusually serious.

In the most luxurious teahouse box in the county, a group of family heads were gathered together to discuss how to deal with the Black Wind Monster from the mountain village.

The head of the Zhu family sat in the main seat with a gloomy look on his face.

His son Zhu Fu caused trouble outside, which angered the Black Wind Monster, causing many bandits to attack villages and resource-rich areas around the county, and even kidnapped many innocent people and robbed a lot of resources.

Today's meeting is to discuss how to calm this storm.

"Master Zhu, you really caused a big disaster this time!"

A family head said indignantly: "We are not unaware of your son Zhu Fu's misbehavior on a daily basis, but this time he actually provoked the Black Wind Monster, causing us all to have no peace!"

"Yes, Master Zhu, you have to give us an explanation for this matter." Another master echoed.

Zhu An's face turned pale, and he slammed the table heavily, saying angrily: "How could I, Zhu An, shirk my responsibility?"

"I have already severely punished Zhu Fu, that bastard! But the most important thing right now is how to solve the problem."

Wang Zhenghe, the head of the Wang family, quickly acted as a peacemaker and advised:
"Everyone calm down, now is not the time for infighting."

"The Black Wind Monster is vicious and cruel. If we don't unite as one, I'm afraid more innocent people will be harmed."

After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. An elderly family head pondered and said, "In this case, why don't we send someone to the village to apologize and see if we can calm the situation down?"

"Apologize?" Zhu An snorted coldly and said slowly, "Is that old monster Black Wind so easy to talk to? Even if we humble ourselves, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to give up."

Wang Zhenghe pondered for a moment and said, "What Patriarch Zhu said makes sense, but we have no other choice at the moment."

"If I don't apologize, I'm afraid it will bring about a greater disaster. By apologizing, I can test the other party's attitude and then make plans."

Finally, after a heated discussion, everyone reached a consensus.

Although they felt aggrieved, in order to preserve the peace of the county, they decided to send someone to the mountain village to apologize.

At the same time, Jiang Qiong was sorting out the spoils in the mountain village.

Han Mo and others had already left. He stood alone in the mountain village, looking around.

Suddenly, he felt a strong fluctuation of spiritual power and frowned slightly.

Jiang Qiong felt the strong fluctuation of spiritual power and became alert.

He quickly calmed his mind and carefully identified the source of the fluctuation.

Soon, he realized that the fluctuation of spiritual power came from not far outside the village, and it seemed that someone was approaching quickly.

At the same time, the heads of the noble families in the county had sent a team to the mountain village to apologize.

The team was led by Wang Zhenghe himself, and Zhu An sent several trusted men to accompany him.

These confidants carefully carried several boxes of heavy treasures.

The box was covered with red silk, through which shone the faint light of elixirs, talismans, minerals and spiritual stones.

When the team reached the outskirts of the mountain village, they could see from afar the flames burning inside the village and the smell of blood in the air.

Wang Zhenghe frowned, feeling a little uneasy. He waved his hand to signal the team to stop and whispered:

"Everyone, be careful and investigate the situation first."

The group approached the stronghold cautiously and saw that the gate was wide open and the bodies of the bandits were lying all over the ground.

Wang Zhenghe was shocked and whispered, "It seems that a fierce battle has taken place here. Everyone should be vigilant." One of Zhu An's confidants, named Li Meng, was a cultivator with extraordinary skills. He immediately stepped forward to check the condition of the corpse.

After a while, he returned to Wang Zhenghe and reported in a low voice: "Master, these bandits were killed in one blow. The method was clean and neat. It was obviously done by a cultivator of a high realm."

Wang Zhenghe felt even more uneasy after hearing this.

He looked around and saw that there seemed to be movement in the wooden house not far away, so he motioned for everyone to follow him and go check it out.

Jiang Qiong stood in front of the wooden house, looking at the group of strangers with cold eyes.

His breath was perfectly restrained, as if he had completely blended into nature.

Wang Zhenghe followed the others into the mountain stronghold. When he saw Jiang Qiong inside, he was startled. He quickly stepped forward, bowed and said:
"Senior, who are you? Why are you here?"

Jiang Qiong smiled calmly and said casually: "I just passed by here and solved some problems."

Zhu An's confidant Li Meng stepped forward and asked cautiously, "Senior, are the troubles you are talking about referring to these bandits?"

Jiang Qiong nodded, glanced at the crowd, and said slowly: "Yes, these bandits did a lot of evil, and I took care of them."

Wang Zhenghe was moved when he heard this, and he immediately bowed his hands and said with gratitude: "Thank you for your help in solving these bandits. You are really a great benefactor of our county."

Jiang Qiong smiled slightly and said, "You're welcome. I just did it for fun."

Zhu An's confidant also showed gratitude and continued, "Senior, we are from a county not far away. We provoked the bandits here before, which led to the Black Wind Monster's bandits causing chaos and causing a lot of trouble to the county."

"We came here specially today to apologize, but we didn't expect that Senior has already solved this big problem for us. We are really grateful."

Jiang Qiong said calmly: "Since the matter has been resolved, you don't have to worry about it anymore."

"However, the remnants of Black Wind Monster may come back again, so you must be careful."

Wang Zhenghe nodded and said, "Senior, you are right. We will definitely strengthen our precautions to ensure the safety of the county."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Zhu An's confidant's heart moved, and he asked tentatively: "Senior, are you willing to stay in the county? We will do our best to repay your kindness."

Jiang Qiong shook her head and said, "I have other things to do and can't stay long."

Seeing this, Wang Zhenghe hurriedly said, "Senior, if you need anything, just tell us and we will do our best to satisfy you."

Jiang Qiong smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but I don't need anything for now."

Upon hearing this, Zhu An and others bowed to Jiang Qiong again to express their gratitude.

Afterwards, they left the village with mixed feelings and returned to the county town.

After Wang Zhenghe, Zhu An and others returned to the county, they immediately summoned the heads of various families and held an emergency meeting in the largest meeting hall in the county.

The lights in the conference room were bright, and the heads of each family looked nervous, waiting for Wang Zhenghe's report.

Wang Zhenghe stepped forward, bowed and said, "My fellow family heads, the situation in the mountain stronghold has been investigated, and the bandits there have been completely eliminated by a master."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar in the conference room.

The heads of each family looked at each other, their eyes filled with astonishment and disbelief.

"Really? All the bandits were wiped out?" asked a family head in disbelief.

Wang Zhenghe nodded and said, "Indeed, that master's realm is unfathomable. Standing next to him, it's as if I was facing towering mountains. He easily dealt with the Black Wind Monster's bandits."

Zhu An's confidant also stepped forward and added: "We saw with our own eyes that the bodies of the bandits were lying in all directions in the mountain village. It was obvious that they were killed by a powerful person at a higher level."

Hearing this, all the family heads showed happy expressions, and the heavy stone in their hearts finally fell to the ground.

They have been worried about the threat posed by the Black Wind Monster for a long time, but now the crisis has finally been resolved.

"God bless us!" exclaimed a family head.

"Yes, if a master hadn't suddenly come to help, we wouldn't know how to deal with the threat from the Black Wind Monster." Another family head sighed.

"It seems that our county is really blessed to have met such a great man." An elderly family head had a pleased look on his face.

At this moment, the head of the Wang family suggested: "Everyone, now that the bandits have been eliminated, why don't we hold a banquet to celebrate this joy?"

All the family heads agreed and thought it was a good idea.

Therefore, everyone decided to hold a grand celebration banquet in the largest restaurant in the county, "Zuixianlou", to express their gratitude to the master and let the monks in the county share the joy.

That night, Zuixianlou was decorated with lights and was extremely lively.

The heads of various noble families came with their families to attend the banquet, and the whole restaurant was filled with laughter and joy. The tables were filled with delicious wine and food, and the aroma was so delicious that it made people salivate.

The head of the Wang family, as the host of the banquet, went on stage and gave a speech: "Everyone, today we gather together to celebrate the surprise of the bandits being annihilated."

“Here, we would like to express our special thanks to the mysterious master who passed by. It was his help that saved our county from the invasion of bandits.”

Everyone raised their glasses and said in unison: "Cheers to that great man!

While talking.

The head of the Wang family looked at Wang Zhenghe and said, "After the banquet, remember to take people to build a statue of the senior so that we can admire it day and night and remember its kindness."

have to say.

The head of the Wang family was a man who knew how to handle things. He could see that the master passing by was at a terrifying level, so he tried to flatter him and specially built a statue to worship him.

"As ordered."

Wang Zhenghe accepted the order respectfully.

this side.

Jiang Qiong had no idea how the county's aristocratic families would react.

After killing the bandits, he continued on his way and soon arrived at the Qiuguang County City in the Dynasty.

Jiang Qiong stepped into Qiuguang County City. People were coming and going at the city gate, vendors were enthusiastically selling all kinds of goods, and the air was filled with the aroma of freshly baked meat patties.

Walking into the city, you will see neatly arranged shops on both sides of the wide streets, and the red brick and green tile buildings look particularly dazzling in the sun.

In the middle of the street, a small river meanders. The water is so clear that you can see the bottom. A few egrets are leisurely foraging in the water.

The bridge spans the river, with pedestrians coming and going. The willow trees beside the bridge sway in the wind, giving people a feeling of tranquility and peace.

The square in the center of the city is filled with various stalls selling talismans, magic tools, elixirs and other goods, and it is very lively.

On one side of the square is a towering bell tower, and the melodious sound of the bell can be heard throughout the county town.

Jiang Qiong continued walking forward. There were teahouses and restaurants on both sides of the street. Occasionally, she could hear the melodious music of folk artists coming from inside. (End of this chapter)
