Wild Dogs

Zhou Peng still wanted to stop it.

Yang Fan waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to be nervous.

"It's alright, I have many treasures on me, and besides, you're here to protect me, aren't you?"

"As long as you're by my side, I have nothing to worry about."

Then, Yang Fan tapped on the table again.

"If we don't get to the bottom of the Blood Blade Sect, even if we wipe out the Sky Wolf Gang today, a new Sky Wolf Gang will emerge in a while and continue to plunder the people."

Zhou Peng pondered for a moment, then said firmly.

"Master, what does their abduction of mortals have to do with us?"

"Those who cultivate the Tao should only focus on cultivating themselves; they can't care about life and death."

Yang Fan sighed.

"If the Xue family grandfather and grandson have nothing to do with us, I can naturally pretend I didn't see them."

"But I've already told them about this, and it's already tainted by karma."

"Besides, I killed the people from the Sky Wolf Gang. They worked for the Blood Blade Sect, so how could the Blood Blade Sect not investigate?"

"Instead of waiting for them to investigate, let's take the initiative to go to the Blood Blade Sect and find out the truth."

Zhou Peng wanted to say something more.

Yang Fan waved his hand.

"Okay, it's settled then."

"Let's head to the Blood Blade Sect immediately."

"However, I don't plan to just barge in."

Zhou Peng raised an eyebrow.

"So, what do you mean, Master?"

A smile appeared on Yang Fan's lips.

"I want to disguise myself as a kidnapped mortal and sneak in to find out what's going on."

Zhou Peng's eyes widened.

"I'm afraid that won't work. Impersonating them would be too dangerous."

Yang Fan laughed.

"I'm sure the Blood Blade Sect has more than just the Sky Wolf Gang as a henchman; there are definitely other gangs in the nearby villages and towns searching for ordinary people."

"I'll sneak in then and see what the Blood Blade Sect is up to."

"As for the danger you mentioned, what danger could there be? I will disguise myself as a mortal, and they won't attack mortals indiscriminately."

Yang Fan looked at the corpse on the ground.

"To them, all mortals are useful, and killing them would be a waste."

"All you need to do is protect me carefully and follow me all the way."

After saying that, Yang Fan stood up before Zhou Peng could say anything else.

Zhou Peng understood that Yang Fan had made up his mind.

Since Yang Fan had already made his decision, as a puppet, he had no choice but to obediently follow behind Yang Fan.

"When does the master plan to depart?"

Yang Fan smiled.

"When else? Now, of course."

Immediately afterwards, Yang Fan followed Zhou Peng and left the place.

Then, under Zhou Peng's protection, Yang Fan immediately headed towards the villages and towns near the Blood Blade Sect.

A few days later, Yang Fan had arrived outside a village or town.

After arriving outside the village, Yang Fan did not rush in, but instead explored the surrounding area.

Once he was certain that there was indeed a gang in the vicinity that occasionally kidnapped ordinary people, Yang Fan's eyes lit up.

Then he lowered his voice and spoke to Zhou Peng.

"Do you think these people would take action if they found out there were ordinary people from out of town?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Peng pondered for a long time before nodding firmly.

"Yes, they will definitely take action."

"If they're locals, it's not easy to take action, but if they're captured from other places, the situation is completely different."

"These ordinary people who have just arrived from other places often have no connections, so no one will bother to arrest them."

Yang Fan nodded.

"So now I'm going to pretend to be an ordinary person."

Next, Yang Fan changed into some ordinary clothes and then carefully walked into the village.

After entering the village, Yang Fan begged along the streets, claiming that he was a refugee seeking food.

Out of sympathy, many people gave Yang Fan some food.

As evening approached, Yang Fan went to stay temporarily at the dilapidated temple at the entrance of the village.

He figured someone would definitely attack him that night.

Sure enough, as evening approached, the door to the dilapidated temple where Yang Fan was staying was kicked open.

"It's him."

A burly man with a full beard walked in.

After glancing inside the dilapidated temple, the burly man stared intently at Yang Fan.

Seeing Yang Fan all alone, a cold smile crept onto his lips.

"Hey kid, you're the one who fled here?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Fan hurriedly stood up and nodded repeatedly, feigning fear.

"Yes, I am a refugee fleeing from abroad, passing through your esteemed land. May I ask what business you gentlemen may have with me?"

Upon hearing this, the burly man with a thick beard chuckled.

"It's nothing, you stole things from our village, we're taking you back for questioning now."

Upon hearing this, Yang Fan feigned extreme anger and glared at the other party.

"Stealing? How could I possibly steal anything? You must have misunderstood something."

Then, Yang Fan hurriedly explained in a panic.

But this person was deliberately looking for trouble, wanting to catch Yang Fan, so how could he possibly listen to his explanation?

"Hmph, whether he stole it or not, we'll find out once he's taken back for questioning."

And just like that, several people immediately stepped forward and took Yang Fan away like wolves and tigers.

Not long after, Yang Fan was taken to a nearby mountain god temple.

Inside the mountain god's temple, Yang Fan saw other mortals who had also been captured.

Because there was a large group of people guarding them, none of these people dared to make a sound.

Yang Fan understood that these people were so obedient most of the time because they had already suffered losses before, so he did not put up any resistance.

Seeing that Yang Fan was so honest, everyone was very satisfied.

He was then pushed into the crowd of ordinary people.

"Kid, stay put and behave yourself. As long as you don't cause trouble, we'll let you live."

"If you dare to cause trouble, I'll kill you."

As he spoke, one of them brandished the sword in his hand at Yang Fan.

Yang Fan nodded repeatedly, pretending to be honest.

The gangs present are all ruthless killers; there's no need to waste time with them.

Although Yang Fan has some life-saving methods that could easily kill them, he won't act rashly just to be on the safe side.

He wanted to find out the situation of the Blood Blade Sect. As the saying goes, "Nothing ventured, nothing gained," so he had to find a way to sneak in and investigate.

And so, another large group of mortals were brought to the mountain god's temple.

Looking at the crowd, Yang Fan noticed that many of the mortals had injuries, indicating that they had tried to resist but were brutally treated. It was also possible that some of the leaders had been completely wiped out.

Seeing this, Yang Fan remained silent.

Over the next two or three days, more and more ordinary people were brought in.

Looking around, Yang Fan saw that there were already dozens, or even nearly a hundred, of ordinary people here.

Just as Yang Fan was looking around, a voice suddenly came from the side in a low voice.

"My friend, it seems you're also trying to find a solution."

Upon hearing this, Yang Fan turned his gaze and saw a middle-aged man speaking to him in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Yang Fan looked at the other person, puzzled.

"What do you mean?"

The middle-aged man looked around to make sure no one was paying attention, then continued speaking to Yang Fan in a low voice.

"I think you, young master, feel the same way I do—you want to escape, don't you?"
