Qin Tian was struggling with a question: did he kill him? Or did he kill himself?
Even if he only had the strength of a warrior, he would not end up like this.
He sighed helplessly, sighing that human life is so fragile. The life that was alive just now turned into a cold corpse the next second. This is the object of wanton deprivation by the strong, and it is also the sorrow of the weak.
I returned to the inn with mixed feelings. When I saw Qin Tian coming back, the innkeeper's expression was a bit confusing.
Qin Tian smiled and asked, "What's wrong with you, shopkeeper?"
"You, your... she was..." the shopkeeper stammered and pointed upstairs
Qin Tian instantly realized that something was wrong. He grabbed the shopkeeper by his collar and lifted him out from behind the counter. The shopkeeper weighed at least two hundred kilograms, and he was like carrying a chicken. Qin Tian shouted with scarlet eyes, "
What happened?"
"She, she, she, she was captured by the Cream Gang!"
The shopkeeper was startled by Qin Tian's furious look, and his face turned red. As he spoke, he handed the note in his hand to him and said, "This is the note they asked me to give to you."
Qin Tian took the note and let go. The shopkeeper immediately fell to the ground. He opened the note and it said, "If you don't want to collect the corpses of your companions, please come to Zhongyi Temple for a while!"
After Qin Tian read it, he held the note tightly in his hand. In vain, a bright red flame ignited the note and instantly turned it into ashes.
The shopkeeper's eyes widened when he saw it. He was well-informed and naturally understood the meaning of this fire. Only practitioners who have reached the martial spirit level can use attribute energy. In other words, the young man in front of him
The man is at least a strong martial artist.
Although he has met countless people after living for decades, he has never met a strong martial artist, and he is still such a young strong man. He immediately felt a moment of silence for the people of the Ji Lian Gang.
"What is the origin of this Cream Gang?" Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you survive a hundred battles. The angry Qin Tian turned his face and asked quietly.
The shopkeeper didn't dare to hide anything. He was relatively clear about all the forces in Guangming City. He immediately replied, "The leader of the Cream Gang is called Ji Lian. The gang is named after him. There are dozens of people under his command."
A person who specializes in robbing families and homes for a living. He is also ranked among the dozens of gangs in Guangming City. This person has ruthless methods and will do whatever it takes to make money. The reputation of the Cream Gang has been spreading far and wide for a long time!
"
Qin Tian snorted coldly. Since it was for money, Situ Jinger was safe for the time being. If something happened to this little girl in his hands, the young man would be in trouble for the rest of his life.
Qin Tian then asked, "Where is the Zhongyi Temple?"
"That ruined temple on Guangming Mountain is their stronghold." The shopkeeper said, pointing to the east.
Qin Tian thought for a while, took out a piece of gold from the gift ring and threw it to the shopkeeper, "Please come with me."
The shopkeeper was overjoyed when he saw the gold. Qin Tian's words were like a thunderbolt hitting his forehead as soon as he received the gold.
His feet softened, and he knelt on the ground directly, saying with a sad face, "Sir, spare my life, I don't want to die yet. If they know the way I lead, they will chop me into pieces."
The shopkeeper burst into tears and dropped the hot gold on the ground without daring to pick it up.
Qin Tian didn't accept his trick. Situ Jing'er was kidnapped for no reason, and maybe he had a share in it. Qin Tian asked with a sullen face, "You are afraid of the Ji Lian Gang, am I just easy to bully?"
The shopkeeper swallowed hard, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead...
At dusk, Guangming City is no longer bright. This town has used the dark side of human nature to achieve today's glory. This also made Qin Tian deeply understand that to make iron, you need to be strong. If you don't want to make progress, you can only lower your head.
Keep a low profile.
I followed the shopkeeper all the way to the back hill of Guangming City. This place was already very remote, with ruins everywhere, as if it had been baptized by war.
Those who have lived in Guangming City for a long time know that this place used to be relatively prosperous. However, as the years progressed, the original peace and peace of Guangming City were broken by greedy humans. They were divided by forces everywhere, formed their own teams, raped, plundered, and stole.
Robbery and killing, tragedies are being staged one after another every day.
Blood dyed this land red, humans were blinded by darkness, and even the government was unwilling to set foot in this place again.
"Sir, we have arrived." Along the way, the shopkeeper's fat body could not withstand such a long journey and he was out of breath. He pointed to the mountainside in front of him and said, "The Zhongyi Temple is halfway up the mountain. You can
Let me go?"
"Thank you for your hard work. You can leave. I can just go up by myself."
By the light of dusk, Qin Tian saw a looming temple halfway up the mountain. He didn't want to embarrass the shopkeeper too much, he just wanted to find someone to lead the way, so that he wouldn't waste time by asking around in private. Besides, using a piece of gold to let him know
He led the way, and the shopkeeper made a lot of money!
The shopkeeper was relieved, and quickly nodded and thanked, and then ran back without looking back. Whether it was Qin Tian or the Ji Lian Gang, he, a businessman, could not afford to offend him. The best way was to stay out of the matter, no matter who of you lived or died.
It has nothing to do with you, as long as nothing happens, you can continue to run the inn business.
Qin Tian walked up the mountain alone. There were steps at the bottom of the mountain leading all the way to the top of the mountain. This was built in the past to facilitate people to burn incense in Zhongyi Temple.
Nowadays, the temple is in dilapidated condition, the plaque is missing, and it has become a den for bandits. This is a naked humiliation to the two words of loyalty.
It is not a very long road from the bottom of the mountain to the middle of the mountain, and you can walk there in half a stick of incense.
There were a few people standing lazily outside the temple gate, all of them with disheveled hair and slovenly knives in their hands that were sharpened to a gleam. At this time, they were talking and laughing around each other. The laughter was full of lustful flavor, and I couldn't believe it.
They are discussing romantic past events.
"Who is it?" A smarter guard heard slight footsteps behind him and quickly turned around and shouted.
Qin Tian didn't hide anything and walked over directly.
"Stop!" Several guards were very alert when they saw the coming person. They immediately called Qin Tian to stop, pointed the knife in their hands at Qin Tian and asked, "Who are you?"
Qin Tian raised his eyes and said calmly, "Your gang leader Ji Lian asked me to come."
Several guards looked at each other, and suddenly one guard seemed to remember something, slapped his forehead and said, "Oh? I remembered, I caught a girl today, is she your companion?"
Qin Tian did not speak, but nodded with a cold face.
Several guards gradually lowered their guard, looked around Qin Tian carefully, and said disdainfully, "The third master said this guy is extraordinary. I thought this guy had three heads and six arms, and he was just a pretty boy."
Qin Tian has a scholar's face, and the first impression he gives is that he is gentle and frail. As for the third master in their mouth, Qin Tian thought they were referring to the group of guys who made trouble for him in the inn.
One of the guards shouted to Qin Tian with a stinky face, "Come with me!"
Qin Tian followed him into the Zhongyi Temple. It was very noisy inside. More than a dozen tables were placed in the open-air front hall. They were fully stocked with wine and meat. The gang members were eating meat and drinking wine.
It seems that the shopkeeper is right, there are only a few dozen people in this cream gang, about seventy people.
In the main hall of Zhongyi Temple, a bearded man sat in the center. There were desks on the left and right below him, and two people were also sitting there, enjoying their meal at the moment.
At this moment, Qin Tian's eyes fell on a man in the main hall.
The man also saw Qin Tian walking in, with a strange smile on his face.
"Gang leader, we've brought it here." The guard who brought Qin Tian in reported.
The leader of the Cream Gang, who was sitting high in the main hall, ignored it and just kept to himself with a large piece of meat in his arms.
"You are very brave. You dare to come alone. Do you look down on our Cream Gang? Or do you overestimate yourself?" The man sitting below and to the right of Cream asked with a sneer.
"So you are from the Ji Lian Gang." Qin Tianhan's eyes flashed: "Li Jie."
Li Jie raised the corners of his mouth and said, "It seems you have a good memory. Do you still remember me?"
Qin Tian recognized him the moment he entered the Zhongyi Temple. Unexpectedly, this guy turned out to be the third leader of the Ji Lian Gang.
Now Qin Tian finally knows who the third master the guards just pointed out is, and he doesn't know when Li Jie set his sights on himself and Situ Jing'er. After they said goodbye that night in the Dark Forest, Qin Tian almost forgot about him.
I really didn't expect to meet him here.
At this moment, the man opposite Li Jie was chewing meat and said vaguely, "Lao San, you are not very good. You can't handle such a young boy. It's so shameful."
"Second brother, you also know my temperament. If I can outwit him, I can't defeat him. If I want to take his life, it is not difficult. But I didn't expect these two people to be so rich. Otherwise, how could I have done that that day?
It's easy to give up." Li Jie smiled evilly and said, "Fortunately, I went quickly today, and several gang members were trying to make plans for them."
What happened to Qin Tian in the inn has been known to many gangs. How could these gangs let these two 'fat sheep' go, but the Cream Gang got there first.
The first person to know was Li Jie, because there were some of their people in the inn at that time. As a result, he secretly investigated and found out that they were the two people he met in the dark forest, so he went to the inn early in the morning and kidnapped Situ Jing'er.
.
Situ Jing'er is just a martial arts master. Even with the guardian necklace, she is definitely not Li Jie's opponent without escaping.
Qin Tian frowned deeply and lowered his voice and asked, "Where is she?"
