Monstrous Killing Intent!

Qin Heilang nodded and said to Zhou Yun seriously: “Magistrate Zhou, what I want to talk to you about is very simple. For the next three years, I want Heiye City to not conduct any serious operations against us. In essence, I want Heiye City to tolerate us for the next three years.”

Zhou Yun’s expression changed slightly.

The Black Wolf Bastion was powerful but if Zhou Yun made up his mind to mobilize the entire Heiye City, he would still be able to destroy the Black Wolf Bastion. Of course, the price he would have to pay would not be small!

Recently, after Zhou Yun had ordered the extermination of the bandits, there would be bandits being wiped out every once in a while. Clearly, the Black Wolf Bastion had also sensed Zhou Yun’s determination and felt that Zhou Yun would one day attack the Black Wolf Bastion. That was why they did what they did today.

Qin Heilang wanted Zhou Yun to promise not to attack the Black Wolf Bastion for three years.

Zhou Yun frowned and stared at Qin Heilang. “Not attack the Black Wolf Bastion for three years? Why do you think I would agree?”

Qin Heilang offered: “Of course I won’t make things difficult for you. I promise that three years later, I will disband the Black Wolf Bastion! Three years!”

“What?”

Zhou Yun and Wang Wu were slightly stunned.

Heiye City would not send troops against Black Wolf Bastion for the next three years, while Qin Blackwolf would disband the Black Wolf Bastion three years later. This was equivalent to eliminating the threat without wasting a single soldier.

Zhou Yun’s face was filled with hesitation and doubt for he did not understand Qin Heilang’s motive.

Qin Heilang laughed and explained: “To be honest, Magistrate Zhou, I don’t intend to be a bandit for the rest of my life. I have greater ambitions. This Black Wolf Bastion is just a springboard for me to fulfill my ambitions. Three years later, I won’t need the Black Wolf Bastion anymore. I will naturally disband it.”

Su Jie, who was at the side, was also surprised. This Qin Heilang seemed to have some stories to share. He established the Black Wolf Bastion only to reap its benefits. In another two to three years, when he reaped enough benefits, he would retire.

Seeing how Zhou Yun was hesitating, Deputy Chief Tong Yu chimed in, “Magistrate Zhou, you just have to promise not to send troops against us for the next three years. In addition, we will also restrain ourselves a little. We will not come within 15 kilometers of Heiye City. Three years later, we will disband on our own!”

The conditions of the Black Wolf Bastion undoubtedly tempted Zhou Yun.

After all, the Black Wolf Bastion was powerful. If they really launched a large-scale attack on the Black Wolf Bastion, even if they succeeded, they would suffer heavy losses. If they failed, the consequences would be even more unbearable!

On the contrary, if they agreed to the Black Wolf Bastion’s conditions, the Black Wolf Bastion would automatically disband in three years. This was undoubtedly the safest option.

Moreover, the Black Wolf Bastion Bandits also promised not to approach the area near Heiye City and would not make things difficult for Zhou Yun.

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Yun stared at Qin Heilang and questioned: “What you are saying is true?”

Qin Heilang said seriously: “Although I, Qin Heilang, am not a good person, I have always kept my word!”

In the end, Zhou Yun made up his mind. He nodded slowly and said, “Alright, we’ll do as you say. Within three years, if I’m in charge, Heiye City will not attack the Black Wolf Bastion. Three years later, you will disband on their own!”

Su Jie, Wang Wu and the others did not say anything. Zhou Yun’s decision was within their expectations and it seemed like a good choice!

Zhou Yun’s decision was also within Qin Heilang and Tong Yu’s expectations. Qin Heilang said with a face full of joy: “That’s good. Magistrate Zhou is so righteous! Let’s eat, the food is getting cold!”

After the negotiation, Qin Heilang was undoubtedly in a good mood.

Zhou Yun did not pick up his chopsticks. Instead, he requested: “Chief Qin, since the conditions have been reached, I can’t stay any longer because I’m busy. I’ll take my leave first. Previously, your Black Wolf Bastion seems to have captured dozens of innocent villagers and a few officials. Please let them go.”

The reason why Zhou Yun came to the appointment was not only to see what Qin Heilang wanted to negotiate with him but also to save the hostages captured by them. Zhou Yun had not forgotten this goal.

“Alright, since Magistrate Zhou is busy, I won’t hold you back. None of those hostages have been killed, so they will be released together!”

Qin Heilang readily agreed to Zhou Yun’s request on the spot. One of the main reasons for capturing these hostages was to use them as chips to force Zhou Yun to agree. However, the negotiations were smoother than expected. Zhou Yun had already agreed without needing these hostages.

“I thought we were going to fight…”

After the two sides came to an agreement, Su Jie was speechless. Initially, he thought that there was a high chance that they would fight. From the looks of it, the martial world was not only about fighting and killing but the ways of diplomacy were also very important!

The group of people left the hall. The hostages were also released under Qin Heilang’s orders and brought over by the bandits.

Most of these hostages were ordinary civilians. All of them were still in shock. Originally, they were captured by the bandits of the Black Wolf Bastion and were anxious. Now that they knew that they were saved, they were all overjoyed.

“The magistrate of Heiye City? He’s here to save us himself!”

These people were grateful to Zhou Yun.

Su Jie casually glanced at the released hostage but his body suddenly trembled. His incredulous gaze fixed on one of them.

This person was tall and strong. It was none other than Su Wu!

“Father? Why is he here? Could it be that… the mission he was on previously was related to the Black Wolf Bastion?” Su Jie was stunned for a moment and found it unbelievable.

Su Jie quickly thought for a moment. Previously, Su Wu had said that he was carrying out a very important mission from the Divine Constable Bureau. In the end, he appeared in a group of hostages from the Black Wolf Bastion?

“Previously… The Black Wolf Bastion searched the villages around Heiye City and captured someone. Could it be to capture Father?”

Su Jie also thought of the information he had learned from Zhou Yun.

The Black Wolf Bastion had captured dozens of civilians along with a few officials, which included Su Wu!

Su Wu was investigating the Blackwolf Bandits and had an accident on the way. As a result, he was accidentally captured and appeared in this group of people who had been released by the Blackwolf Bandits. Fortunately, Zhou Yun had negotiated with the Blackwolf Bandits and his life was not in danger.

However, Su Jie’s body trembled further. He noticed that Su Wu was not alright. His face was extremely pale and weak, especially his right arm, which was empty.

An arm was missing! The gauze wrapped around the shoulder had long since dried up!

“One of Father’s arms… was cut off by these bandits?” In an instant, Su Jie’s expression changed drastically. His eyes were bloodshot and his fists were clenched.

Previously, when Su Wu was investigating the Blackwolf Bandits, he was discovered and hunted down by them. During the intense battle, Su Wu was outnumbered and was captured alive. One of his arms was even chopped off!

Su Jie was wearing a mask. Otherwise, his change in expression would definitely be noticed by everyone.

“Brother Ape Demon… what’s wrong?” However, Wang Wu still noticed the change in Su Jie’s mood. He asked curiously and subconsciously shivered. For some reason, he felt the air become cold.

“Nothing.” Su Jie recovered himself. He took a deep breath and replied in a hoarse voice. The killing intent in him was difficult to suppress!

Su Wu’s arm had been chopped off by the Blackwolf Bandits. There was no way he would let this go!
