From a country cook to a master chef

"Junior Brother Lin, let's make this agreement before we take action. If everything goes smoothly, we won't talk about it, but if anything goes wrong, no matter what happens, those who can run should run first. We can't all die here."

Outside the cave, Long Fei gazed at Black Tiger Cliff not far away. Suddenly, his right eyelid twitched. He then turned around thoughtfully and went into the cave, taking some things out of his bag and hiding them in a secluded spot within the cave.

He smiled slightly and waved to the puzzled Lin Jue, saying, "Junior Brother Lin, although we shouldn't be superstitious, it's okay to believe in some things."

My right eyelid twitched without warning just now. Just in case, we should leave some of our belongings in this cave beforehand. If something happens, it won't benefit those desperate thugs from the Black Tiger Cult.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Jue pointed towards the cave entrance, looking surprised, and said, "It was just a gust of wind that blew by and sand got into my eyes. Junior brother's eyelid twitched too, so don't make a fuss, senior brother."

Upon hearing this, Long Fei did not refute it, and continued to place some things in the cave on his own.

A moment later, Long Fei, having weighed everything down with stones, got up and walked out of the cave. He stretched lazily, looked into the distance, and laughed, "Junior Brother Lin, let's go!"

Throughout the journey, the two never forgot to reaffirm their plans for the trip.

"So, what Senior Brother Long means is..."

After hearing Long Fei's arrangement, Lin Jue frowned and couldn't help but wonder, "There must be many Black Tiger Cult members staying in the main communal room. If Senior Brother Lin attacks there, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to escape."

"It would be better to stick to the original plan: Junior Brother will destroy their granary, while Senior Brother Long will secretly sabotage the Black Tiger Cult's warehouse."

"That's not appropriate. Simply destroying the granary and warehouse is too simplistic. After burning down the granary and killing a few Black Tiger Cult members, Junior Brother Lin, don't linger in the fight. Quickly proceed to our agreed meeting point."

Long Fei did not adopt Lin Jue's idea and insisted on his own opinion, saying without hesitation, "My cultivation level is much higher than my junior brother's. After we succeed on both sides, I will do my best to kill two mid-stage Divine Illumination Realm disciples to confuse the Black Tiger Cult. After that, I will go to the agreed location to meet up with my junior brother."

As soon as he said this, Long Fei instantly darted out, like an arrow released from a bow, sliding down the small hill where the cave was located and speeding towards Black Tiger Cliff.

……

At this moment, inside the Black Tiger Cult's Black Heart Hall, the cult leader, Black Heart Tiger, was convening the cult's high-ranking members to discuss a major matter.

Ever since learning of the Zhanbo Kingdom's large-scale invasion of Dawu, the Black Tiger Sect, which had been working for Tianwu Mountain for free, had long harbored the idea of ​​joining forces with the Zhanbo Kingdom.

Over the years, Tianwu Mountain has not only never considered legitimizing the Black Tiger Cult, but also takes a cut of the Black Tiger Cult's profits every year, which has caused dissatisfaction among many high-ranking members of the Black Tiger Cult.

"Master, our Black Tiger Sect was not originally an affiliated force of Tianwu Mountain. Even without them, the Great Martial Cultivators and Martial Artists forces could not do anything to us. There is no need to keep trying to curry favor with them."

"The Grand Elder is right. The Black Tiger Sect was originally an organization of us outlaws. Why should we risk our lives for Tianwu Mountain for the sake of so-called vindication, only to gain nothing in return?"

"We've done so much over the years, but besides those old fogies at Tianwu Mountain, who else knows about it?"

"Yes, Master, since this is a rare opportunity, why don't we join forces with the Zhanbo people? Maybe we'll have a chance to be promoted and made a name for ourselves in the future. Waiting for Tianwu Mountain to vindicate us like this, who knows when that will be?"

The Black Tiger Cult Leader, seated at the head of the table, frowned and listened silently to the conversation of the crowd.

At the center of the Black Heart Hall, there was an iron cage containing a person.

Inside the cage was a middle-aged man covered in injuries, his hands and feet bound.

Black Tiger, lost in thought, interrupted the argument and stared at the man in the cage, laughing, "Wang Shouren, you've been an undercover agent in my Black Tiger Cult for over ten years, so you know my methods."

Now, I, the leader, will ask you only one question: how many men did Tianwu Mountain send to capture Brother Shangguan this time?

"Pah, no comment!" The man in the cage glared fiercely at Blackheart Tiger, his voice low and menacing. "People like you, wavering between right and wrong, will not have a good ending even if you join the Zhanbo people."

Upon hearing this, Blackheart Tiger, who had initially maintained his patience, let out a cold snort, stood up, dusted off his robes, and his eyes suddenly turned icy. He ordered in a deep voice, "Guards, kill him for me! Throw his body down at Black Tiger Cliff to feed the mountain beasts!"

"yes!"

Upon hearing this, many high-ranking members of the Black Tiger Cult were overjoyed. The cult leader's order undoubtedly meant a complete break with Tianwu Mountain.

Black Tiger let out a long sigh, his eyes filled with murderous intent. He stared at the outside of the hall and coldly ordered, "Quickly order the Blood Servants to prepare. No matter how many people come from Tianwu Mountain this time, kill them without exception."

The Black Tiger Cult has been silent for so long; it's time to let the world know that we are not docile lambs, but bloodthirsty wolves.

"Yes, sir!"

All the high-ranking officials stood up, clasped their hands in greeting, and accepted the order. Each of them exuded an impressive aura, and their faces showed a slight hint of excitement.

As night fell, two uninvited guests immediately climbed up the pitch-black Black Tiger Cliff.

After reaching the top of the cliff, the two immediately split up and quietly made their way towards the target they had already scouted.

Watching his senior brother Long Fei rush off in another direction, Lin Jue hesitated slightly, feeling a strange unease. But he didn't dwell on it. After glancing at the quiet Black Tiger Cliff, he silently unleashed the Eight Steps to Catch the Cicada.

"I hope everything goes well."

Lin Jue prayed silently, his rapidly moving body like a dark shadow darting through the Black Tiger Cult.

When he saw a huge granary appear before him, a strange, fake smile appeared on his face.

After waiting for a while, and estimating that Long Fei had arrived at the warehouse, Lin Jue did not hesitate to light the kerosene he had made over the past two days and throw it into the granary.

As pungent black smoke billowed into the sky, the fire quickly spread throughout the entire granary.

Upon seeing this, Lin Jue couldn't help but let out a sinister smile. When he heard that Black Tiger Sect disciples were coming to put out the fire, he first seized the opportunity to kill three people, and then immediately retreated towards Black Tiger Cliff.

On the other side, seeing thick smoke billowing from the direction of the granary, Long Fei immediately took action, setting fire to the Black Tiger Cult's warehouse in the same way as Lin Jue.

However, after dealing with the two Black Tiger Cult members, Long Fei did not retreat, but instead quickly flew off in the opposite direction from Black Tiger Cliff.

At the same time, Lin Jue, who was approaching Black Tiger Cliff, suddenly stopped and hid in a dark corner to look ahead. His face immediately turned ugly.

A large number of Black Tiger Cult members had blocked the path they had come from, and the two leaders were both Black Tiger Cult Divine Illumination Realm warriors.

At that very moment, flames soared into the sky on Black Tiger Cliff as numerous cultists frantically searched for Lin Jue and his companion.

Faced with this raging fire, the Black Tiger Cult seemed to have been prepared and quickly organized manpower to extinguish it in time.

In the deep darkness of night, Blackheart Tiger appeared at the highest point of the stone tower, his roar like thunder:

"Brother from Tianwu Mountain, now that you're here, why not show yourself?"
