The spy was reluctant to report the news, which caused fury tremendously to San-Feng, so he shouted…

"Just spill it!" San-Feng yelled at the spy with utmost anger while widening his eyes at him…

"Well… The boss at the cave also told us that the attackers were sent by the seventh prince, sir!"

"Sent by the seventh prince!"

Da-Hu and the three commanders were extremely shocked to hear the news. They did not know how to react to it. Da-Hu was severely shocked more than anyone because he had been thinking about asking for the seventh prince to help him…

"What did you say? Say it again!" Yi-Feng ordered the spy to tell him the news again…

"The boss at the cave told us that the attackers were the seventh prince's men, sir. They also robbed the Qi energy stones. The boss repeated that the whole attack was responsible by the seventh prince, sir." The spy reported right away this time…

"What's going on? Why did the seventh prince do that?" Er-Feng asked while stepping back as if he was about to faint…

"Yeah! How come he…?" San-Feng also fell into that state of shock just like his second brother. Yi-Feng, on the other hand, wanted to say something but decided not to. He turned to look at Da-Hu instead…

"We have to be sure about this before doing anything. But if it's true…the seventh prince!" Da-Hu said wildly, but firm at the same time. He was full of grudges now…

Despite hearing the news from the spy, Da-Hu did not want to entirely believe it yet. The news could be true because everyone knew how the seventh prince was. The minute the seventh prince visited him in the forest, the attacks started. So, he was prone to think that the news was true…

"And how did the boss at the cave survive, since he did not have enough men there? There were more men at the third toll booth that boss Pu-Jee oversaw, but it was still destroyed." Da-Hu asked as soon as he gained back his mind…

"The boss at the cave reported that the martial artists from Greenland passed by and helped them, sir. They killed all the attackers, saying that they helped us because they had a deep grudge against the seventh prince." The spy rushed to give additional information...

"Martial artists from Greenland!?"

Da-Hu and the three commanders exclaimed out of surprise at the same time. They could not think of any martial artists from Greenland. They just could not trust anyone right now because it might be one of the seventh prince's plans…

"I want you to contact the boss of the cave right away. Tell him to bring everyone back to the castle as soon as possible. And tell him to bring those martial artists here too. I want to talk to them. If the attackers were sent from the seventh prince, I'll kill them all with my own hands." Da-Hu ordered the spy to send the messages to the boss of the cave immediately…

"Yes, sir!"

The spy left the room instantly, leaving behind the three commanders and Da-Hu…

"What do you think about this, leader?" Yi-Feng asked Da-Hu concerningly…

"We don't have any evidence yet that it is the seventh prince. Let's wait until the boss of the cave gets back with those martial artists. We'll see the truth then." Da-Hu said while staring at the three commanders…

"Yes, leader!"

A while after the attacks at the Cave of the Immortals, the stolen caravan reached the place where the reinforcement ordered by Tong-Kuang was waiting. When they joined, they went on with the journey instantly…

Back at the entrance of the Cave of the Immortals, the boss of the bandits rushed back to meet Yan-Yu and Ji-Zhung-Gong with a happy smile after reporting the news to the newsman…

"I'm sorry for keeping you waiting." The boss of the bandits at the cave said politely with Yan-Yu and Ji-Zhung-Gong…

"Please don't be too polite with us. We're merely martial artists who roam around." Yan-Yu tried to play it down when he saw how polite the boss at the cave was with him…

"Yeah! Please don't!" Ji-Zhung-Gong also played along with what Yan-Yu started for him…

"I don't mind at all because I am grateful for you. By the way, where are you heading now?" The boss at the cave got an order to invite Yan-Yu and Ji-Zhung-Gong to the castle, but he did not want to be too blunt. So, he pretended to ask for their next destination…

Yan-Yu, hearing the question, let out a light smile because he knew well what the boss of the bandits at the cave wanted to say…

"We don't know yet. I think we will continue our practice in the forest because it is going well." Yan-Yu said while pretending to focus on his practicing mode…

Ji-Zhung-Gong could not help but laugh at Yan-Yu's acting, but he had to withhold it badly because he did not want to expose their identities. The boss of the bandits, at the same time, smiled widely after hearing Yan-Yu telling his plan…

He thought that it fit the situation that Yan-Yu and Ji-Zhung-Gong did not plan to go anywhere, so he said, "If both of you don't mind, as a representative for my leader, I would like to invite both of you to our castle in the middle of the forest." The boss of the bandits at the cave said while politely cupping his fists…

"The castle in the middle of the forest!?"

Yan-Yu and Ji-Zhung-Gong pretended to be surprised to hear about the castle. Then they changed their gestures to being curious about the castle. So, Yan-Yu asked…

"The castle in the middle of the forest? I've never heard of it before."

The boss of the bandits was proud to see Yan-Yu and his excitement about the castle, so he said…

"The castle in the middle of the forest is a place for us, Mountain Tiger Bandits. It is like a big fort and an affectionate home for us all. We've been living there like brothers. We're like family who helps each other all the time." The boss started to tell Yan-Yu and Ji-Zhung-Gong about the history of the castle and other related subjects about the castle and them…

He was not aware that he was telling crucial information about the group to the enemies. Yan-Yu and Ji-Zhung-Gong still pretended to be excited by the information that the boss told them, which made him want to tell even more…

After an hour had passed, the boss had told everything to Yan-Yu and Ji-Zhung-Gong about the castle in the middle of the forest. He told them about the size and number of the people in the group. He told them about all entrances and exits too. Yan-Yu also asked him questions and the boss answered him in detail…

Yan-Yu and his excitement to hear the story made the boss want to tell everything that he knew…

"The castle in the middle of the forest sounds so wonderful. I can't wait to get there." Yan-Yu said with a smile. He continued to act excitedly while trying to hide his cunning smile…

"We really want to go to your castle in the middle of the forest as soon as possible." Ji-Zhung-Gong also said with the same excitement Yan-Yu had…

Anyone who saw Yan-Yu and Ji-Zhung-Gong at this moment would genuinely believe that they wanted to go to the castle in the middle of the forest…

"Then, let's go to the castle tomorrow. You and your men should stay the night with us. Come on! We have many houses for everyone. But you two must stay at my house tonight." The boss of the bandits at the cave invited Yan-Yu and Ji-Zhung-Gong with humbleness…

"Well, we don't want to bother you. Let us stay with our fellow martial artists." Yan-Yu rushed to refuse the hospitality instantly. He tried to show how humble he was and how much he loved his friends to the boss…

When the boss of the bandits saw that, he felt even more respect for Yan-Yu. He then got up and said, "Then I'll have my men prepare food and things for all of you." The boss ordered his men to take care of things for Yan-Yu, Ji-Zhung-Gong, and the troops after he finished the sentence…

After the conversation, Yan-Yu's group headed to the houses that were prepared for them. The boss at the cave excused himself to his house to revive his energy…

Thud!

In the house where Yan-Yu stayed, Ji-Zhung-Gong and some of his close men sat in a circle. They all looked at Yan-Yu and smiled as if they were looking at a movie star…

"You're such a great actor! Your acting was amazing!" Ji-Zhung-Gong started to compliment Yan-Yu while laughing with great satisfaction…

"Yeah, brother Yan-Yu! You were unbelievable back there." One of Yan-Yu's personal spies said with admiration for him…

"Thanks! But I don't want us to be careless. I don't feel too good going to their castle." Yan-Yu said while showing concern about what he talked about. He continued to say, "We have all the information about them. The stolen caravan also reached a safe place. So, I think I should consult with our big brother first."

"Yeah!"

Everybody agreed with Yan-Yu to consult with Tong-Kuang first. Going to the castle was like going to a cave full of tigers. It was like them going to the execution field. If they got caught, the only thing that they would face was death…

At Tong-Kuang's room…

"I see. You guys did a great job. Since we have all of their information, you don't need to go to their castle. And don't do anything yet about the Cave of the Immortals. I will have Lang-Guang-Kuang take care of it." Tong-Kuang talked to Yan-Yu through the communication stone with satisfaction…

"What about the bandits at the cave? Do you want me to take care of them?" Yan-Yu asked whether he should kill the boss and his men at the cave…

"No. Not yet! I want all of you to get out of there. I'll wait for you halfway back here. We've done quite successfully at this stage, so we can pull back our troops. This must be a very painful truth for the bandits that the seventh prince played some trick on them."

"Yes, big brother, I'll do accordingly."

After the communication, Tong-Kuang ordered everyone at the first toll booth to pack everything up. He also asked Lang-Guang-Kuang to take a group of warriors with him to seize the Cave of the Immortals after Yan-Yu's group left the cave. Tong-Kuang split his men into two groups. He wanted the first group to accompany him and the second group to go back to the clan with everything that they packed…
