Chapter 331
After fighting and killing, the result was really seen. The property of Li Jinfeng's family was found, and the private goods hidden by other people were also found. It was like pouring cold water into a hot pot of oil, and the pot exploded in an instant. The scene became more difficult to control. More people were killed and injured, and the property was also robbed in a mess. It was not until Zhang Xiaohu came to Xicui Mountain again that the dog-eat-dog farce came to an end. The surviving people took their own gains, got off the pirate ship, abandoned the darkness for the light, and found a way out.
Zhang Xiaohu was confused by the words of the bandit. When did his brother become so powerful?
Was there such a divine power?
But no matter how carefully he asked, he couldn't get anything. After all, those who could survive now were extremely cunning old bandits. Moreover, the bandit himself didn't see Qin Shiyue kill people. As he said, the martial arts master killed people like slaughtering chickens. The people on the wall of the stockade were killed before they had time to react. The rest of the people woke up and shouted loudly. When they fled, many more were killed. When the others woke up, it was already dawn. The martial arts master had already gone far away. Who could see the "true face of Mount Lu"?
With a mind full of doubts, Zhang Xiaohu let the bandit go first. He couldn't block the bandit's way of turning over a new leaf, could he?
But Zhang Xiaohu heard the lethality of the martial arts master. He was definitely not his brother — Zhang Xiaohua!
But since this person was not his younger brother, then where did his younger brother go?
Was he killed by the martial arts master who came to seek revenge as a bandit?
Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaohua could no longer ambush on the side of the road. He jumped up and went up Xicui Mountain along the mountain road.
When Zhang Xiaohu stepped into the gate of Xicui Mountain, there was a mess in front of him. Fortunately, the bandits in the stockade were used to disbanding. They robbed in an orderly manner and didn't set fire to the stockade. It seemed that they planned to go up the mountain again. There were only worthless corpses scattered all over the ground.
Many bandits in the stockade had already run away. The rest were the old, weak, sick, and disabled, puppies and kittens. No one cared that a stranger would come to the stockade. Moreover, this person only looked at each corpse carefully. They thought that this guy just came to take the wealth of the dead. They all sneered in their hearts, "Why did this guy only think of it now?
The corpses underground have been swept away by us countless times. How can there be any surplus wealth? "
Then they were busy with their own things and went crazy for the last time.
There were hundreds of corpses on the ground. Zhang Xiaohu looked through them one by one, regardless of their body shape or dress, for fear of missing something. Every time he turned over a corpse, he was afraid to see a familiar face. But after examining all the corpses, Zhang Xiaohu was overjoyed. Since there were no corpses, there must be hope of survival. So he worked hard again to look through all the places in the stockade, but still found nothing. At this time, he was completely relieved. Thinking of his brother's Lightness Skill, he must have run away. Right, at that time, Zhang Xiaohu suddenly had a thought, "Did Xiaohua go back to the Guozhuang House first?"
The steady Zhang Xiaohu did not immediately return home. Instead, he looked through all the corpses again until the sky brightened. After working all night, he was full of energy and rode back to the Guozhuang House.
He was really looking forward to when he returned to the Guozhuang House. His younger brother would be holding a bowl of rice and squatting under a tree, laughing at him for coming back so late!
How could he be so stupid that he didn't know to go back to the Guozhuang House first!
But when he rushed back to the Guozhuang House and saw his mother and sister-in-law waiting for him at the village entrance, he knew that something was wrong. His heart turned cold!
Xiaohua really did not come back!
Zhang Xiaohu's mind turned countless times, but he did not have any good excuses. If he said that Zhang Xiaohua went back or did something else, how could he explain the empty date red horse beside him?
But if he told his mother about Zhang Xiaohua's disappearance, he … how could he open his mouth?
Guo Sufei, who was at the village entrance, was also bitterly waiting for her two sons to return. First, she comforted herself that Li Jinfeng's family was warm and wanted them to stay for one more day. But two days had passed. Which family would have such a reason to keep their guests?
As a result, Guo Sufei could no longer sit still. She had been waiting at the entrance of the village the night before yesterday, hoping that her son would return. Last night, she also did not sleep well. At dawn, she had been waiting at the entrance of the village.
When it was close to noon, she saw a familiar date red horse appear. Her heart was filled with joy, but she immediately saw an empty horse. That horse was missing her heart!
When Zhang Xiaohu arrived at the village entrance and dismounted from the horse, Guo Sufei tightly grabbed Zhang Xiaohu's arm, gritted her teeth, and interrogated Zhang Xiaohua's whereabouts. Zhang Xiaohu's face was ashen. How could he dare to tell the truth at the village entrance?
He only pulled his sister-in-law and dragged his mother back to the small courtyard. When the whole family was gathered, he told the whole story.
When she heard that her own son, who was trying to save someone, had ended up missing, Guo Sufei could not help but feel sad. She knew that her son's actions were the actions of a man and were righteous. But after all, the person he saved was a stranger she had never seen before, and the one who went missing was her son, who she was worried about. How could she not cry?
Zhang Cai and Mr. Liu had different feelings. After all, they were both born as strict fathers. They felt that for a child to do such a righteous and awe-inspiring thing, it was exactly what a man should do. They were quite proud. Even if they were on the side, they would still encourage and gladly go forward.
Moreover, they still had not received the most serious grievous news!
And Zhang Xiaohua had acted for righteousness, so she must be loved by Heaven and Earth. How could she die so easily?
Alas, how could they know that Heaven and Earth were heartless and treated all living things like straw dogs? In this world, how much righteousness could be preached and how much good intentions could be rewarded?
If Zhang Xiaohua had not been coincidentally lucky, she would have been captured and taken to the Dragon God Sect long ago. Who knew what her ending would be?
Everyone tried to persuade Guo Sufei, but they could not ease the knot in her heart. In the end, it was Mr. Liu, who was not involved in the matter, who probed, "Could we ask the Misty School to help Zhang Xiaohua?"
This sentence was like an epiphany, waking Zhang Xiaohu up.
Yes, his abilities were limited, but he had a powerful sect behind him. With such a great resource, how could he not make full use of it?
After thinking about it, Zhang Xiaohu did not have the mood to stay at home. He packed his luggage and immediately set off from the Guozhuang House. He rushed back to the Misty School in Ping Yang City overnight. He also made an appointment with his family. Once there was any news, he would ask someone to inform them immediately.
After Zhang Xiaohu rushed back to the Misty School, he did not know how to ask for help. He could not possibly ask Sect Leader Ou directly and say that his younger brother was missing and see if he could help look for him.
Zhang Xiaohu could imagine that he would definitely be chased out by Ou Peng.
Therefore, he could only ask his master, Wen Wenhai, for help. Wen Wenhai was also rather helpless. Although he was Ou Peng's personal disciple, he did not hold any real power in the sect. He did not have the right to mobilize the disciples of the Divine Mechanics Division.
Therefore, Wen Wenhai also took the time to find an opportunity to tactfully convey this request to Eldest Senior Brother Zhang Chengyue, hoping that Zhang Chengyue would extend a helping hand on the account that they were fellow disciples of the same sect.
Zhang Chengyue naturally knew the importance of Zhang Xiaohua. When he heard this, he did not even say a second word to Wen Wenhai. He immediately rushed out of the door and hurriedly informed Ou Peng of this news, leaving Wen Wenhai stunned at the side. He thought that Eldest Senior Brother was angry over this small matter.
Just as Wen Wenhai apologetically told Zhang Xiaohu that he might not be able to help and that he could look for Ou Yan, Zhang Xiaohu hurriedly rushed over to look for Zhang Xiaohu.
When Zhang Xiaohu arrived at the meeting hall and repeated the matter of Zhang Xiaohua's disappearance, Zhang Xiaohu's reaction was far beyond his expectations. Sect Leader Ou immediately sent ten disciples of the Divine Mechanics Division to Xicui Mountain to find Zhang Xiaohua's whereabouts. They wanted to see her alive or dead.
Zhang Xiaohu was touched. He did not expect Sect Leader Ou to be so benevolent!
A professional was a professional. Not long after, the disciples of the Divine Mechanics Division brought back the news. Although they did not find Zhang Xiaohua's whereabouts, they found out that Xicui Mountain was related to the Dragon God Sect. On the day of the incident at Xicui Mountain, there was a special envoy from the Tenryū Sect present in the stronghold.
When he heard this news, Ou Peng hesitated. At this time, the Righteous Alliance and the Tenryū Sect were at loggerheads. However, there was no direct conflict. Many people related to the Righteous Alliance were killed by the Tenryū Sect's disciples, and many of them were exterminated. However, the Righteous Alliance did not dare to fight the Tenryū Sect head-on. They only made solemn statements and seriously protested. Occasionally, they skirted around the edges and scratched at the weak spots of the Tenryū Sect. Even the super sects of Jianghu were so docile, so how could Ou Peng not avoid them?
He sternly ordered the disciples of the Divine Mechanics Division to quickly return to the stronghold. At the same time, he ordered Zhang Chengyue to temporarily postpone the plan for the Path of Immortality. He was afraid that the Tenryū Sect had other intentions for kidnapping Zhang Xiaohua, or that they had learned the importance of the Fist of the North Star from Zhang Xiaohua.
As for Zhang Xiaohu, Ou Peng only said that the disciples of the Divine Mechanics Division had not found any news about Zhang Xiaohua and were half-heartedly brushing him off. As for Zhang Xiaohu, he did not have any news about his younger brother. Naturally, he was unable to pass any information to the Guozhuang House. He could only hope that the two elders at home would be able to recover from their grief with time.
Time flew by. Soon, it had been almost a year since Zhang Xiaohua went missing. Who knew how many sorrows, joys, and separations had happened in the jianghu? Other than Zhang Xiaohu, who would still remember Zhang Xiaohua, who had been in the limelight at the Misty School's martial arts competition?
Perhaps only Ou Peng was unable to restrain the passion in his heart. When he saw that the Tenryū Sect did not seem to care about the Misty School and placed his hopes on the Fist of the North Star once again, he was extremely disappointed. Only then would he remember Zhang Xiaohua, the originator of the Fist of the North Star!
At this moment, Ou Peng was not only vexed about the setback of the Path of Immortality's revival plan, but also about something else!
