Bringing the Hokage legacy to the Nine Realms of Golden Light

In the nameless forest

Zhou Zheng used Wood Release to spread the field, and used Earth Release and Shadow Secret Technique to kill.

In this one-sided massacre, the Xijianryu ninjas suffered heavy losses without even seeing where their opponents were.

Under such circumstances, I was so scared that I didn't dare to enter the mountain.

We can only surround them outside the mountains and forests, set up strict checkpoints, and wait for the arrival of senior officials.

For a time, the two sides formed a tenuous balance.

The Xijianliu acted brazenly and never concealed their whereabouts.

This morning, the morning light is dim and the morning dew is colorful.

Zhu Wu Niang led the team out of the valley and prepared to go to the nearest village market to buy daily necessities.

Passing through the neatly arranged tree-bordered area

As a strong archer, extreme observation is an extremely necessary basic quality.

But when she walked into the woods, she found that the trees in the forest had changed and were very different from before.

"Everyone be careful! Something is wrong!" Zhu Wuniang suddenly stopped and reminded everyone.

"Ms. Zhu, what happened?" asked a big man carrying prey who was following behind her.

They have been living in seclusion for several years and have long since run out of money. If they want to go out and buy supplies, they can only barter, or first exchange their hunted game for money and then use the money to buy.

Therefore, in order to make the prey more valuable, people would go hunting the day before and exchange it the next day to prevent the prey from rotting and affecting its value due to waiting too long.

"Something's wrong with this forest. It's very different from before!" Zhu Wuniang raised her hand and everyone behind her hid, carefully observing the surrounding situation.

"Ah?" Zhu Wuniang's words frightened the people behind her, and they didn't know what to do for a moment.

The timid ones even fell to the ground.

"Ms. Zhu, why don't we go back first? We can deal with these prey ourselves for a few days, and then go out to exchange supplies when it is safe." Someone said hurriedly, worried about the situation.

Zhu Wu Niang thought for a moment and finally nodded in agreement.

"You go back first. I'll observe the forest for a while and confirm the situation first." Zhu Wuniang's eyes were like an eagle's and her gaze was as fast as lightning. She didn't relax at all.

"Then Miss Zhu must be careful!" Several people who were carrying supplies on their shoulders turned around carefully and went back on the road.

"Lady Zhu, we'll stay and help you!"

"Ms. Zhu, do you see anything wrong?"

After the common people left, a few martial artists still stayed.

Some of these people really put loyalty first, while others wanted to have a chance to get closer to Zhu Wuniang because of her martial arts and beauty.

"We have been in and out of this forest many times. Today, these trees are different!" said Zhu Wu Niang.

"Come to think of it, the trees around here do seem to be thicker than before." Someone whispered while touching the tree trunk next to him.

"It seems that the signs left on the road to prevent people from getting lost are gone!"

"Could it be that someone from the Western Sword School came in?"

While they were discussing, Zhou Zheng had already arrived beside them.

As early as when they stepped into the tree world, Zhou Zheng sensed their presence and movements.

The principle is the same as Nagato's Yuhu Zizai Jutsu, except that his medium of perception is the trees in the tree world.

Observing from afar that it was Zhu Wuniang and the others, Zhou Zheng felt that this might be an opportunity to have formal contact with them!

So Zhou Zheng adjusted his state and pretended to be vigilant and came to their side.

"Who is it? Come out?" Zhu Wuniang quickly noticed Zhou Zheng's weakness, and she drew her bow and arrow, aiming in his direction.

"Who are you? Why did you come out of the mountain?" Zhou Zheng also asked, hiding behind a tree trunk so that she dared not draw her bow easily.

The two sides were on guard against each other.

"This is our territory. We can come out wherever we want! What's it to you?" A warrior next to Zhu Wu Niang shouted arrogantly to Zhou Zheng.

"You live in there? Aren't you Xijianliu's lackeys?" Zhou Zheng questioned.

"What bullshit are you talking about?" another person asked back.

"No matter who you are, if you don't want to die, then leave now! I have set a trap here, and the Western Sword Flow outside has surrounded this place!

“When the masters of the Western Sword School arrive, they will definitely launch an attack here. If you want to live, leave quickly.” After saying that, Zhou Zheng left directly. During the whole process, he did not even show up, nor did he show up in front of Zhu Wu Niang and others.

For the first contact, this is enough!

Zhou Zheng left and the scene fell into silence.

After waiting for a while, Zhu Wuniang frowned and asked, "Are you still there?"

There was no response, and I couldn't see or notice any unusual movement around me.

Zhu Wu Niang put away her bow and arrows.

"Ms. Zhu, what should we do next?" someone beside her asked.

"Observe for a while longer, and go out to see if there are any Western Sword Stream troops blocking the area outside." After Zhu Wu Niang made the decision, she walked straight out with her skill and courage.

Seeing Zhu Wuniang take action, the warriors around her also followed her out.

Walking outward from the inner circle, although the environment has changed, the terrain remains the same.

After walking half the distance, I finally saw the battlefield.

The forest was littered with corpses, and the smell of blood even attracted animals in the forest.

The spikes that pierced the corpses were not removed. Exposing their bodies in the wilderness was a punishment for these invaders, and being eaten by wild beasts was their final contribution to the ecological cycle of nature in the Central Plains.

"Look, why are there so many dead bodies!"

"From the looks of their attire, they seem to be Japanese from the Western Sword School!"

"So what that person just said is true? Is the outside of the mountain really surrounded by the Western Sword Clan?"

"Then should we go back and inform the Pope to take everyone away?"

As the group spoke, they turned their gaze towards Zhu Wu Niang.

"Let's go outside and take a look at the situation first!"

Having said that, he still walked out of the mountain with determination.

On the outermost hilltop, Zhu Wuniang and her group had found a relatively clean and secluded place as an observation point, looking towards the Xijianliu camp outside the mountain.

The closer you get to the outskirts, the more corpses you’ll see in the forest.

There are basically two ways of death: being pierced through the chest and abdomen by a musket, or being strangled by a special force.

Outside the mountain, there were some Saikenryu ninjas standing aside, observing from afar.

The temporary camp in the rear was built very simply.

Just as they were observing the Western Sword Flow outside, Zhou Zheng suddenly appeared behind them.

"Why would someone live in such a desolate mountain?" Zhou Zheng suddenly asked, which scared everyone.

It even made some people jump up on the spot.

"Oh my god, you almost scared me to death!"

"Is it your business where we live?"

"We were here first, so if there's any problem, it's your problem!"

Zhou Zheng ignored the people around him and looked at Zhu Wu Niang.

“I just thought this was a barren mountain, so I planned to set a trap here to kill those Western Sword Clan members!

"Everything is ready now. All that's left is for their big shot to arrive and then go into the forest and capture them all in one fell swoop!

"I don't care who came first or who arrived first. If you want peace and stability, then just hide in your valley and don't come out during this period of time!

"Once I get rid of the people outside, you will be free!" Zhou Zheng said in a serious and unkind tone.

Then, without waiting for them to speak, Zhou Zheng spoke again, this time in a much softer tone: "Don't worry, the main force of the Western Sword School will definitely come in no more than five days! As long as I get rid of them all, I will leave! Now the arrow is on the string, there is no way I will stop here!"

Zhou Zheng's words showed Zhu Wuniang his firm attitude.

She was not like Jin Qianhua, who would easily make people let go of their hatred regardless of the reason, and she also knew the killings that the Chinese and Western sword styles had brought to the Central Plains in recent years.

So she didn't have much objection to Zhou Zheng's attitude and the choices he made, and she also admired him for being someone who dared to think and act.

"I will report the situation outside to the Pope. As for what the Pope will do, we all respect her choice!" After saying that, he took another look at the Xijianliu camp outside the mountain, and then led everyone back along the original route to the valley.

After Zhu Wuniang and others left, Zhou Zheng began to use his escape technique to go to Xijianliu's camp to gather intelligence and deal with some lone ninjas.

Create an illusion for the people of Xijianliu!

Let them think that Zhou Zheng’s strength is not enough to deal with large-scale group forces, so that the people of Xijianliu can concentrate all their forces together as much as possible.

As the rock pillar spears suddenly shot out from the ground one after another, all the Western Sword Ryu ninjas who were patrolling and standing guard outside the camp died one after another.

However, just when Zhou was looking for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack in Xijianliu's temporary camp.

A figure came from afar and rushed over quickly.

The man had white hair and beard, and was dressed in a gray robe. He was simply dressed. He walked in a straight line and did not dodge any obstacles.

They even rushed straight over from the Xijianliu camp.

Those ninjas who wanted to stop him along the way died before they even had the chance to see his appearance clearly.

The grumpy old man chased all the way for the clue of the ninth sister, fearing any accidents. After learning the news, he traveled day and night without rest. It took him nearly two days and he finally rushed from the south of the Central Plains to the north of the Central Plains.

After passing through the Xijianliu camp, leaving a pile of corpses behind, they simply rushed into the mountains.

Although he slowed down a lot in order to search for the target after entering the mountain, his superb martial arts skills still allowed him to fly from one hill to another.

From a high vantage point, the search for the valley village went very smoothly.

Just as he reached the top of the hill near the mountain village, he saw the village in the valley at a glance!

"Where is Jie Tianlan? Your father is here to kill you!"

The sound containing inner strength resounded throughout the entire mountain range!

Let everyone in the village look up to the sky where the sound comes from!

"God is angry!"
