American Comics: BOSS Invasion

The spring breeze was balmy, and the spring was warm with blooming flowers.

On the official road, a convoy was moving slowly forward.

The convoy didn't fly any flags. Two teams of cavalry protected the three carriages in the middle at the front and rear, a conspicuous display.

The three carriages were identical. From the outside, you couldn't see who was inside. In the second carriage, Qi Shan and his sister sat facing each other.

Qi Shan held a book in his hand, slowly turning the pages.

Recently, he had been searching for information about the martial world, from historical biographies to small rumors, leaving nothing out. Now, he had some understanding of the martial world.

Overall, this martial world was no different from others, all presenting a pyramid structure.

The top sects were only a few, below them were the high-level sects, then the countless local sects like carps crossing the river, and below them were the small gangs and the insignificant thugs.

The martial world referred to 'One Duke, Two Mountains, Three Star Caves, Six Gangs, Seven Factions, and Ten Gates'.

This basically encompassed all the top forces in the martial world.

As for Qi Shan's Four Seas Bank, although it had a lot of money, it still couldn't compare with the martial arts sects. After all, this world valued martial power. Although money was important, it couldn't compare with the number one expert in the world.

Moreover, the Four Seas Bank's business model was very special. Instead of eating alone, it preferred to cooperate and win-win with local sects, forming a loose alliance.

Although it was inconspicuous in the martial world, those who truly understood the martial world would not easily provoke the Four Seas Bank.

His sister lay listlessly on the table. She had been bored for many days. At first, she was very excited when they came out, chattering and pestering Qi Shan to talk every day, but later she became weak and just lay on the table in a daze.

These days, news of the Dark Flower List came every now and then, and heads were sent like flowing water, then directly destroyed.

Qi Shan was too lazy to even take a look. The Dark Flower List was different from other underground forces. They were very clear about the financial resources of the Four Seas Bank. When you have money to a certain extent, it is definitely not something ordinary small martial arts forces can fool.

Moreover, Qi Shan didn't let them work for nothing. In addition to the necessary commission, he also sent 50,000 taels of gold as a supervision fee. As long as someone dared to cheat, they would be killed directly, and they could also receive double the bonus.

The Dark Flower List also passed this news out, which immediately stopped some martial arts heroes with careful thoughts, and no one dared to have any crooked ideas for the time being.

However, martial arts heroes are old and experienced, and taking risks is their way of life. Dying for wealth can be said to be the most legitimate reason. In the face of thousands of taels of gold, what is human life?

Qi Shan believed that as time went on, there would be many people who wanted to fake it and cheat the reward. He hoped that the Dark Flower List could withstand it. If it couldn't, it would only be discredited. If it could withstand it, the reputation of the Dark Flower List might be able to rise to a higher level.

This was an opportunity, but also a challenge.

It depended on whether there were experts in the Dark Flower List who could seize the opportunity to rise to a higher level.

People occasionally passed by on the official road, some riding horses, some riding oxen, and some riding donkeys, some in carriages, donkey carts, and ox carts, but most walked on two legs.

They didn't dare to get close to Qi Shan's convoy. More than 90% of the people would hide far away, then leave the official road and go around a big circle, bypass Qi Shan and his party, and then walk forward quickly.

Pedestrians would stop directly on the side of the road, waiting for the convoy to pass slowly before continuing on their way with trepidation.

The news of the Four Seas Bank's young master traveling spread quickly. For martial artists, a master who could take out tens of thousands of taels of gold to hunt down people at will was definitely not easy to provoke, but also a shining gold mine.

During this period of time, more than a dozen groups of people had come up with crooked ideas, including several lone rangers, a group of black forces working together, and a group of bandits rampant in the vicinity.

They all wanted money and didn't want to sell their lives for others, so they chose to come to Qi Shan to die.

It's just that these people's martial arts were a bit too weak. His carefully manufactured level three demon soldiers hadn't had time to take action before they were dealt with by the cavalry following the team.

It must be said that the Four Seas Bank had invested a lot in cultivating martial power. The cavalry and a large number of guards that had been cultivated were not simple characters. They were different from lone martial artists. They paid more attention to cooperative combat, making up for each other's flaws, and fighting desperately, like a small army.

Once entangled by a large force, as long as they didn't break through the innate true energy and couldn't regenerate endlessly, that was the end. Even if they reached the peak of the acquired realm, experts could only die with regret.

Currently, none of the people who had come were experts. Almost no one was a match for the cavalry team. Only a group of bandits had a relatively large number of people. The two sides stood for about half an hour before they were forcibly dispersed, leaving a ground of corpses.

A man rode back on his horse, stopped next to Qi Shan's carriage, and briefly communicated with the servant.

The servant who had been serving Qi Shan nodded and said, "Young Master, the Dark Flower List has sent a message saying that Wuliang Mountain in front is the hidden headquarters of the First Building."

"They really know how to find a place. Continue to move forward. According to our previous plan, let the people under our command prepare the things. Courtesy first, then force. Don't let the martial arts world say that our Four Seas Bank doesn't understand the rules!"

Qi Shan chuckled lightly and ordered faintly.

The servant quickly agreed, "Understood, Young Master. All the things have been asked to be prepared. This matter will definitely be handled properly!"

"Yes!"

Qi Shan responded faintly.

The team continued to move forward and soon slowly drove into a somewhat sparse mountain village at the foot of the mountain.

This small town was backed by Wuliang Mountain, and Wuliang Mountain was not a very famous mountain, it could only be said to be relatively famous within a few hundred miles. There was a hidden Taoist temple on Wuliang Mountain, said to be a martial arts force, but it never publicized it.

This area within a hundred miles belonged to the Wuliang Taoist Temple, but they only collected a little head tax every month, a little grain every year, and a little toll from merchants, and did not collect any other money.

It was precisely because of this advantage that there were quite a few small villages and towns scattered around Wuliang Mountain.

This looked like someone with an extraordinary identity. Going up for no reason would easily cause trouble. If they caused disaster for the Wuliang Taoist Temple, it would be more than worth the loss!

So the philosophy of the guards was to only find suitable targets to collect money from, and to turn a blind eye to the real big shots!
