Duan Tianyang assigned two thousand soldiers to the Qinba tribe to be responsible for the task of reclaiming wasteland and expanding the territory.

Xiguan City serves as a frontier barrier and cannot afford to lose any military force, so most of these two thousand soldiers come from Yunzhong City.

However, with the withdrawal of this group of soldiers, the defense force of Yunzhong City suddenly decreased sharply, leaving only a few hundred people.

Fortunately, there are no powerful enemies surrounding, and the rebels around Yunzhong City have never intended to invade, so the situation can still be maintained stable.

On this day, Duan Tianyang was immersed in the Qi Condensation Technique taught by Gu Changhuan.

Ever since the last time he accidentally absorbed other people's true energy, he deeply felt that the speed of practicing this method was much faster than practicing on his own. As long as he figured out how to use the ring on his hand and transform the absorbed true energy into his own use without any harm, it would be simply too amazing, comparable to Ren Woxing's Star-Absorbing Technique in "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer".

Just as he was immersed in it, Jin Bao rushed into the room with a panicked look on his face.

"Brother Tian, ​​something terrible has happened!" Jin Bao said breathlessly.

Duan Tianyang slowly opened his eyes, his gaze fell calmly on Jin Bao, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Our caravan was robbed!" Jinbao replied anxiously.

Duan Tianyang raised his eyebrows slightly, but there was no emotion on his face. He asked leisurely: "Do you know who did it?"

Jin Bao hurriedly said: "It was Haojie who helped that group of bandits do it!"

Hero Gang? Isn't this name too rustic?

Duan Tianyang couldn't help but ask, "Are there any casualties among the caravan?"

Jin Bao replied: "No, but we suffered heavy losses. Two carts of ceramics, two carts of cloth, and most importantly, a whole cart of Xuan soldiers was robbed."

Duan Tianyang took a deep breath and said, "Got it, Jinbao, go and appease the brothers in the caravan first, and I'll take care of the rest."

Jin Bao was sweating profusely and said anxiously: "Brother Tian, ​​our losses this time are too great, especially that car of Xuanbing, which is worth tens of thousands of taels of silver!"

The titanium ore mined by the Wild Wolf Tribe will be transported to Yunzhong City, where it will be sintered and refined, and finally the titanium will be extracted and forged into black weapons, which will then be sold to the Western Fan Kingdom. This constitutes a considerable source of income for the Hongxing Society.

Duan Tianyang remained calm. He stood up and said to Jin Bao with a smile, "Don't worry, Jin Bao. I will take care of the rest. I promise that none of the lost goods will be lost."

Seeing Duan Tianyang so confident, Jin Bao's mood gradually calmed down.

Duan Tianyang shouted: "Someone come!"

Soon, a soldier came in. He saluted Duan Tianyang and said, "Brother Tian, ​​what can I do for you?"

"Go find Lu Jingyuan." Duan Tianyang ordered.

"Yes!" the soldier agreed and left quickly.

Not long after, Lu Jingyuan walked in with flowers.

After several months of rest, Lu Jingyuan's injuries have fully recovered.

He walked up to Duan Tianyang, bowed, and then asked, "Brother Tian, ​​what do you want to talk to me about?"

Duan Tianyang asked with concern: "Jingyuan, how are you and your fellow disciples from the Divine Arrow Sect doing now?"

Lu Jingyuan smiled and replied, "Brother Tian, ​​our injuries have all healed."

"Great, do you want to stretch your body?"

Lu Jingyuan looked serious and asked, "Brother Tian, ​​what can I do for you?"

Duan Tianyang said slowly, "Recently, a batch of our goods was looted by a neighboring gang. I want you to go with me to take them back."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jingyuan's face turned grim and he asked, "Where is this gang hiding?"

Duan Tianyang turned his gaze to Jin Bao, who scratched his head and replied in a low voice: "Brother Tian, ​​I don't know either."

Duan Tianyang immediately ordered: "Go and find Yan Bin."

Yan Bin, as the leader of the Tianyan Hall of the Hongxing Society and in charge of intelligence gathering, rushed over quickly after hearing the news.

When he heard the name "Hero Gang", he responded without hesitation: "Brother Tian, ​​I know this gang. In our area, they are quite powerful. The boss is called Li Min, and he has hundreds of people under him. Brother Tian, ​​why do you suddenly mention them?"

"It was them who dared to rob our caravan!" Jin Bao muttered indignantly.

Duan Tianyang signaled Yan Bin to draw a map of the hiding place of the Haojie Gang. Yan Bin outlined it carefully and explained the details of the route from time to time.

After Yan Bin finished, Duan Tianyang smiled lightly and said, "It seems that they are not far from Yunzhong City."

"These guys are so bold that they even dare to steal our society's goods. Brother Tian, ​​how are you going to deal with them?"

Duan Tianyang smiled and shook his head, "Ah, if it rains, my mother will marry. If someone wants to die, I will naturally help him!"

At noon that day, Duan Tianyang led Lu Jingyuan, Hua Duoer and other disciples of the Shenjian Sect and headed towards the hiding place of the Haojie Gang.

After walking for a long time, Lu Jingyuan raised his arm and pointed to the distance, then turned back and said loudly: "Brother Tian, ​​look over there, Minyuan Town should be ahead!"

After passing through Minyuan Town and walking forward for about twenty miles, you will reach the hiding place of the Hero Gang.

Duan Tianyang narrowed his eyes and looked ahead, and sure enough, the outline of a small town gradually emerged in his sight.

He nodded slightly and suggested, "Let's go to the town to rest for a while and drink some hot tea before continuing on our way."

The sandstorm here is particularly strong, making people's mouths dry and their whole bodies feel uncomfortable.

Although Minyuan Town is not a small town, it is in a dilapidated state. Most of the houses in the town are broken and incomplete, and it is obvious that no one lives there.

Even the main road in the town looked desolate and deserted, with no signs of human life. The whole town was like a dead city.

What kind of a place is this?

Duan Tianyang shook his head secretly and was walking forward. He happened to catch a glimpse of a flag on the street with the word "Wine" written on it, swaying in the wind.

He waved his hand gently, signaling Lu Jingyuan and others to follow him. They rode their horses and galloped towards the direction indicated by the wine flag.

As Duan Tianyang and his party stepped into the tavern, they immediately felt a strong sense of oppression.

He remained calm, raised his head slightly, and looked around.

In the middle of the tavern, a burly man sat alone at the table, chewing meat and drinking fine wine, showing a heroic and unrestrained spirit.

He had a resolute face and a full beard, like a towering mountain, solid and steady.

Around this big man, seven or eight big men in black were sitting separately. The table was empty, with neither wine nor food.

They held their swords tightly in their hands, staring at the burly man with cold eyes, as if ready to attack at any time.

In addition to this group of people, there was another table in the corner, where two young girls and a weather-beaten old man sat.

Duan Tianyang didn’t know what was going on here, but he just ignored it since it had nothing to do with him.

He was not a person who liked to join in the fun. He turned his eyes and found two empty tables on the right edge, so he walked straight there.

After sitting down, he shouted at the top of his voice: "Excuse me, is there a waiter here?"
