966: Chapter 926: Encounter with Mountain Bandits 966: Chapter 926: Encounter with Mountain Bandits The iron door in front of him was half open, with a broken iron lock lying on the ground.

It must have been the lock that the mountain bandits had destroyed just now.

Lu Chuan pulled the iron door open, swinging it fully ajar.

Then, Lu Chuan stepped into the cave ahead, entering the spacious circular space beyond.

The area here was enormous, resembling the courtyard of a residence, with a fountain in the center from which water continuously flowed.

Surrounding it were various items for daily living, such as beds and screens, dining tables, desks, bookshelves, chairs, and other pieces of furniture.

Moreover, Lu Chuan could see a few iron cages on the other side, within which crouched several human figures.

At the top of the cave, there were several crystal formations similar to stalactites, which emitted a natural pale blue light, illuminating the interior of the cave.

“This place is indeed not simple, ah, he turned it into a comfortable dwelling; it must have taken a lot of effort and energy.”

Lu Chuan sighed.

“The first time I came here, I was also mildly surprised, this place is indeed nice, but I was less surprised when I learned how all this was achieved.”

“How was it achieved?”

Lu Chuan asked.

“He sacrificed countless people to turn this place into a comfortable home.”

Jyang Ran continued, “In a pit behind the mountain, there lay the bones of countless people.”

“Nangong Qianying brought over numerous craftsmen and carpenters to create this environment, but basically, they were killed off once used, just thrown away after being killed.”

“Just for the sculpture in the middle, who knows how many people died to complete it.”

“It may look all shiny and splendid on the surface, but in reality, it’s built on a pile of corpses, Nangong Qianying this guy, he really accumulated a lot of karmic debts, and now, it seems he has repaid them.”

Lu Chuan couldn’t help but chuckle, “Aren’t you considered one of the Demonic Cultivators?

Do you actually care about this?”

“The path I’ve chosen doesn’t mean I have to become someone completely devoid of humanity.

Nangong Qianying, on the other hand, was determined to walk this path; he has now gone completely mad.

Fortunately, you killed him, otherwise, more people would have died.”

“Although I had some dealings with him, it wasn’t particularly deep.

Now that he’s dead, it’s all come to an end.”

“Look around here; maybe you’ll find something useful.”

Lu Chuan frowned, scanning the surroundings, “Isn’t it said that the Gang Leader of the Tiger Head Gang was looting this place?

Why can’t I see anyone?”

Lu Chuan curiously scanned the area.

Dongfang Cheng also looked around in curiosity, “Indeed, no one can be seen.

We haven’t been deceived, have we?

Maybe there’s actually no one here and they’ve fled with the goods!”

Jyang Ran, with hands on hips, turned to Lu Chuan, “See, you should’ve killed everyone.

Letting go of people was a sheer mistake!”

Just then, a whizzing sound suddenly erupted.

Whoosh!!!

Two successive secret arrows shot out, flying rapidly towards Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan’s brow knitted tightly, and he immediately raised the Soul Terminating Sword, swinging the Longsword towards the trajectory from which the arrows came.

Clang!!

With two quick movements, he chopped the arrows in half, successfully evading this sneak attack.

Lu Chuan shouted loudly, “Come out, I already know where you’re hiding!”

A moment later, still no one came out.

Jyang Ran took out his brush, and Dongfang Cheng also drew his Peijian.

“You’re hiding behind the screen.

If you don’t come out now, I’ll kill you with a single strike.

If you’re even half a step slower, you’re as good as dead!”

Lu Chuan bellowed angrily.

Suddenly, a figure emerged slowly from behind the screen, followed by two attendants.

Leading the way was a burly man with mutton-chop whiskers.

He tossed his crossbow bolt to the ground and drew his cleaver, walking toward Lu Chuan.

“The three of you are late.

We discovered this place, so rightfully, everything here should be taken by us.”

“Don’t talk to me about who came first; everything here is mine.

Touch anything and I’ll kill you!”

Lu Chuan’s words were extremely domineering, causing the corner of the Tiger Head Gang Leader’s mouth to twitch.

“Do you know who I am?”

“Your lackey already told me, you’re the Gang Leader of the Tiger Head Gang.

But I don’t care.

No matter who you are, if you stand in my way, you will die!”

Lu Chuan scoffed, not caring at all about his status as Gang Leader.

“Good, you’ve got guts, kid.

This whole mountain is the Tiger Head Gang’s territory, and you dare to run wild here.

You’re asking for death!”

He brandished his cleaver and roared.

Lu Chuan continued to stand there calmly, looking at him and asking, “Do you know who the owner of this cave is?”

“It surely isn’t you!

Cut the crap.

If you don’t leave, I’ll see you off.

If you get injured then, don’t blame my heartless blade!”

He threatened fiercely.

Lu Chuan chuckled, “The owner of this cave is Nangong Qianying.

Now you should know, right?”

“Nangong Qianying…is it him?

Impossible, if he created a cave here, I would definitely know.

After all, he’s such a high-profile figure, and every move he makes is being watched by many people.”

“Fool, Nangong Qianying wielded the power of the Martial Saint Realm.

Did you really think you could detect his movements?

You’re not worthy.

He has lived here for decades.

You only discovered it now because Nangong Qianying is already dead.

Otherwise, those who found the cave would’ve been gone from this world long ago!”

With these words, the legs of the Tiger Head Gang Leader went weak with fear.

He took several deep breaths to calm himself down.

“Is that true, Nangong Qianying’s territory?

Damn it, we’ve offended Nangong Qianying; what should we do now?”

The Gang Leader immediately became anxious.

A lackey behind him hastily reminded him, “Boss, he said just now that Nangong Qianying is already dead.

Otherwise, we wouldn’t have found this cave.”

The Gang Leader suddenly became stunned, “Nangong Qianying is dead?

That can’t be.

With his strength, and with such a large Nangong family, how can he be dead?

This must be a lie!”

Lu Chuan continued, “Nangong Qianying is indeed dead, and he died by my hand.

Hence, this cave is now mine.

If you dare touch anything here, I will tear you to pieces.”

The Gang Leader of the Tiger Head Gang nervously swallowed his saliva, watching Lu Chuan with vigilant eyes.

“You…you killed Nangong Qianying?

I don’t believe it!”

“Alright, then why don’t you come and verify it for yourself?”

Lu Chuan lifted the Soul Terminating Sword, looking confidently at the Tiger Head Gang Leader.

“I…I was just joking, please don’t take it seriously…”

He immediately burst into an awkward laugh, not daring to speak another word.
