Li Banfeng felt a faint unease creep into his chest.
Something about this doesn't feel right. Could someone who needs a crowbar just to pry loose a rock on the cliff… be that same person who can climb down dozens of meters and kill a third-level Homebound Cultivator?
Li Banfeng didn't believe it at all! He suspected that the one who killed Old Hu wasn't outside. They were inside Iron Gate Fort.
Old Hu had refused to pay and had even wanted to fight back against the bandits from Flying Eagle Mountain. On top of that, he was old and had arrived at Iron Gate Fort earlier than most, even earlier than the Fort Lord himself. A person like that could easily become a target of the Fort Lord.

Wu Yongchao thought Li Banfeng couldn't hear a thing, but Li Banfeng caught every word. He possessed the ability of Perceiving the Spirit's Melody, which allowed him to hear spirit voices as clearly as if they were spoken aloud.
This honest man really was quite lucky. He had met a good dwelling spirit, and he had also run into a good "Peddler."
Li Banfeng was just about to leave when Wu Yongchao hurriedly stopped him. "Don't go out. Just stay here for now. If the Fort Lord...
