Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

Without any hesitation, Lu Feng summoned the Treasure Basin from his dantian, then transformed into a wisp of green smoke and vanished without a trace.

Meanwhile, outside the stronghold of the villains...

Shh...!

A rustling sound came from afar, and the next moment a tiny black shadow rolled slowly from a distance until it finally revealed its true form: a bronze cauldron the size of a palm.

"Huh? What's that...!"

Seeing the bronze cauldron roll down from the valley and land steadily at the village entrance, one of the bandits on guard duty looked puzzled and instinctively picked it up. "This is... an ancient cauldron?"

"Strange, where did this thing come from...?"

The bandit on guard duty curiously played with the ancient bronze cauldron in his hand.

"Old Song, what happened?"

At this moment, another young bandit approached. When he noticed the bronze cauldron in the other's hand, his eyes lit up. "Hey, this thing looks pretty valuable...!"

"Could it be that the second-in-command accidentally left behind some spoils of war upon his return?"

"That... seems very likely!"

Upon hearing his companion's words, the bandit who had been on guard duty also changed his expression slightly. He immediately put away the bronze cauldron in his hand, then turned around and hurriedly ran towards the council hall in the village, as if afraid of being late.

After all, they were just a group of lowly guards. Even if they dared to embezzle the spoils of the second-in-command, Yin Wei, if they were discovered, they would most likely be in deep trouble, or even face the death penalty!

Meanwhile, inside the bronze cauldron

"Hehe, infiltration successful...!"

Lu Feng also raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a smug smile.

Although with his current cultivation level and the extent of the Treasure Basin's repair, he can only hide in the Treasure Basin space for an hour, an hour is enough for Lu Feng to safely infiltrate the Evil Village.

As for the issue of revealing his whereabouts, Lu Feng didn't need to worry about it at all.

After all, the villains of the Evil Village, who were only at the seventh or eighth level of the Spirit Soul Realm, would not be able to detect the existence of the Treasure Basin space, let alone know Lu Feng's whereabouts!

"Hey! Old Song, what's with the rush? Did a dog chase you or something?"

"Hahaha! You little rascal, is your manhood about to burst again, or have you taken a fancy to those newly captured Bai family women? Planning to rush to the village cellar to relieve your pent-up desire?"

"It seems very likely. Last month, this kid did absolutely nothing but run to the cellar in the village every day. There were even a few virgin girls who couldn't withstand his torment and were literally played to death on the spot...!"

On the way to the council hall, I saw the guard looking flustered, and several henchmen passing by were making joking noises, as if they were very familiar with him.

"Get the hell out of here!"

Faced with the crowd's teasing, the bandit named Old Song's face darkened, and he immediately shouted at the top of his lungs, "I have something important to report to the second-in-command. If you have nothing better to do, get out of my way and don't block my path...!"

After saying that, Old Song didn't waste any more words with these henchmen and continued running towards the direction of the council hall.

"A cellar in the village?"

Inside the treasure basin space, Lu Feng's ears twitched slightly, and his face showed displeasure. "The Villain Stronghold truly lives up to its name; they're simply a bunch of beasts worse than animals..."

Although Lu Feng didn't know what the cellar in the stronghold that everyone was talking about was used for, he could guess from the conversation of these henchmen and the evil deeds of the evil stronghold, such as robbery, murder, and kidnapping, that the innocent women who were kidnapped to the evil stronghold were probably not going to have a good end!

hum!

Just as Lao Song turned into a deserted intersection in the village, a strange faint light suddenly appeared from the bronze cauldron in his arms.

Swish!

The next moment, a figure in a gray robe appeared out of thin air, causing Old Song's expression to change drastically, filled with terror. "You, who are you?!"

"The one who will kill you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Feng once again swung his Ice Shield Axe through the air.

Click...!

A cold, sharp axe flashed past, and the next moment Old Song's head fell to the ground, staining the ground crimson with blood. He was dead beyond any doubt!

"Given Bai Qianqian's abilities and methods, a mere gang of bandits from the villainous stronghold shouldn't be able to do anything to her. As for the Bai family women and other innocent women who were abducted, they are most likely being imprisoned in the stronghold's cellars right now..."

"No matter what, let's go check it out there first..."

With a single axe stroke, Lu Feng killed the bandit named Lao Song. He then changed into Lao Song's clothes, cleaned up the body, and swaggered into the depths of the village.

Hey buddy!

Seeing an older, pockmarked bandit approaching, Lu Feng grinned and casually patted the man on the shoulder, "I'm Lu Yishou, and I have a few things I'd like to ask you for advice on..."

"Lie down? What kind of ridiculous name is that..."

When Lu Feng suddenly blocked his way, the pockmarked bandit's expression froze slightly, then he asked with a hint of confusion, "Hey... uh, Brother Lu, what brings you here?"

"Excuse me, sir! Do you know which direction the cellar in the village is located?"

Lu Feng cupped his hands in a gesture of respect once more, a forced smile on his face.

"Brother Lu, are you new here? How come you don't even know where the cellars are in the village?"

Upon hearing this, the pockmarked bandit was taken aback for a moment, then said with a strange expression, "Just keep going straight from here, then turn left, and keep going straight and you'll get there. That place is a place of extravagance and debauchery; basically all the brothers in the stronghold have been there..."

"However, the cellar in the stronghold isn't a free place to enter. Unless the two leaders grant you special permission, it will cost a lot of spirit stones and pills each time you enter. You absolutely can't go empty-handed, or you'll have made a wasted trip..."

"I see, thank you, sir."

Upon hearing this, Lu Feng didn't hesitate. He immediately took out a small cloth bag from his pocket and stuffed it into the other person's hand, saying, "Just a small token of my respect..."

"This is... an eighth-grade elixir, the Qi-Replenishing Pill?"

"Hey! I didn't expect you to be so well-off, even though you're new here!"

He quickly opened the cloth bag and found that it contained an eighth-grade pill. The pockmarked bandit's face lit up with a slight smile. Then, he changed the subject and said, "Brother Lu, seeing how sincere you are, I'll tell you another secret that no one else knows...!"

"A secret no one knows?"

"good...!"

The pockmarked bandit first looked around to make sure no one was nearby before pulling Lu Feng aside. He then whispered weakly, "Brother Lu, there are five large doors under the cellar in that stronghold. Behind each door is a special cell. If you just want to have some fun, you only need to open the first three doors..."

"As for those two large doors behind you, Brother Lu, you absolutely mustn't open them or go near them carelessly. Otherwise, if the two leaders blame you, even the King of Heaven himself might not be able to save your life...!"
