"Oh? Is that so?" Gu Sheng's eyes flashed with a trace of cold light. "Then let me see just how capable your Black Wind Village truly is!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Sheng's figure flickered and vanished instantly. The next moment, he appeared behind the leader of the men in black and struck out with a palm. The leader only had time to let out a miserable scream before being sent flying, crashing heavily into the rock wall.

"Is this the strength of your Black Wind Village? Truly disappointing!" Gu Sheng said coldly.

The leader of the men in black struggled to his feet, his eyes filled with fear and unwillingness. "You… you just wait! Our Black Wind Village won't let you off!"

"Hmph! We'll be waiting for you!" Xing Lie said disdainfully. "But you'd better pray we don't find your stronghold; otherwise..."

The leader of the men in black said no more and left the mine with his subordinates in defeat. Gu Sheng and the others did not pursue them further; they knew these mountain bandits were no longer a threat.

"Haha! How satisfying this is!" Kou Hai laughed heartily. "Those bandits, guilty of countless crimes, finally got a taste of their own medicine this time!"

"Indeed! Thanks to Brother Gu and Brother Xing this time!" Ying Tianxing remarked with heartfelt gratitude.

"Since we are like family, there's no need to speak of separate favor," Gu Sheng said with a smile. "This time, our survival and great victory were thanks to everyone's unity and collaboration."

Everyone nodded in agreement, deeply realizing the importance of teamwork after this incident.

"By the way, Brother Gu, your palm strike earlier was truly incredible!" Wu Tianxiong praised. "What cultivation technique was that?"

"That is a special cultivation technique I practice, called the 'Gale Nine Swords,'" Gu Sheng explained. "This technique emphasizes both speed and strength, allowing explosive attacks in a short time."

"Amazing!" Wu Tianxiong exclaimed with admiration. "I wonder if I'll ever be able to cultivate to such a level."

"As long as you keep working hard on your cultivation, you'll achieve this realm someday," Gu Sheng encouraged. He understood well that the path of cultivation was arduous and challenging, but with persistent effort, success was guaranteed.

After chatting for a while, Gu Sheng suddenly suggested, "Since we've obtained such a treasure as the Ancient Divine Crystal and defeated the Black Wind Village bandits, I think we can seize this opportunity to raid their stronghold—Black Wind Ridge!"

"Raid Black Wind Ridge?" Hearing this, everyone revealed shocked expressions. They knew Black Wind Ridge was the base camp of the Black Wind Village, undoubtedly heavily guarded. Raiding it would not be an easy endeavor. But when they thought of the Ancient Divine Crystal and the treasures of Black Wind Village, they couldn't help feeling tempted.

Raid Black Wind Ridge

"Brother Gu is right! We can't let those bastards off the hook!" Xing Lie declared, waving his fists with righteous indignation. He was the first to express support for Gu Sheng's proposal.

His eyes sparkled with wildness and a penchant for battle, as though he could already see the dawn of victory ahead. "We, descendants of the Thirteen Great Raiders, have never feared trouble! And I believe, with our strength, conquering Black Wind Ridge will be a piece of cake!"

"Brother Xing is right! We need to teach them a lesson!" Kou Hai shouted excitedly, his face showing a fierce expression, as if he couldn't wait to fight. Others also eagerly prepared themselves, expressing support for the plan.

Gu Sheng stood at the forefront of the group, his gaze firm and sharp, as though piercing through all falsehoods and illusions. "Since everyone agrees, we'll take swift action and give them no chance to react. This mission allows only one outcome: success!"

Everyone responded in unison, their morale high. Led by Gu Sheng, they quickly left the mine, heading toward Black Wind Ridge. Their steps were resolute and powerful, as though each footprint pressed upon the hearts of their enemies.

The night grew darker, but they showed no intention of stopping. Silently, they advanced toward the mountain peak, preparing to deliver a fatal blow to the bandits of Black Wind Village.

As they neared the peak, they suddenly heard a commotion. It turned out the bandits of Black Wind Village were drinking and celebrating tonight's 'victory.'

Gu Sheng's eyes flashed with cold light. He waved his hand, signaling everyone to prepare. Then, he took a deep breath and activated his cultivation technique.

A vast torrent seemed to surge within him, and behind him appeared a wondrous panorama of rivers, mountains, lakes, seas, creatures, and exotic beasts—the awe-inspiring power of the Sea Floor Realm at the First Level.

At the same time, Gu Sheng's Ancient Sacred Body revealed its unique effects. His flesh seemed cloaked in golden light, with golden grids swirling continuously, as though encased in golden battle armor. He could unleash golden palms and fists at will, each attack carrying devastating power.

"Attack!" Gu Sheng issued a low cry and charged forward. His figure darted through the night like lightning, heading straight for the reveling bandits of Black Wind Village. Under his command, the members of the Jade Maiden Gang descended upon the bandits like untamed tigers unleashed, overpowering everything in their path.

The Black Wind Village bandits were taken completely off guard by this sudden assault. Panicked, they grabbed their weapons to resist, but under the relentless onslaught of Gu Sheng and his allies, they quickly fell into disarray. Some cunning bandits, seeing the situation turning sour, rushed to surrender and beg for mercy.

"Please spare us! We surrender!"

"Don't kill us! We'll hand over all the treasures!"
