”Hmph, dealing with a few petty bandits, it’s no big deal.”

In response to Yang Bo’s compliment, Chen Weiming was not one to shy away from taking credit himself, saying, ”Keep that bandit’s head safe, so you can take it back as proof of merit.”

Their conversation completely ignored Qin Tian and the others.

The glory that Qin Tian and Zhao Lanjin risked their lives for was directly seized by Chen Weiming.

Moreover, this guy had initially failed to kill Qin Tian and the others and then turned to steal their glory.

This was too much!

All six of Qin Tian’s group glared angrily at Chen Weiming.

But Chen Weiming acted as if nothing had happened, giving a sneer to Qin Tian, ”Qin Tian, what’s with that look in your eyes? Not satisfied with my arrangements?”

”No.”

Qin Tian grinned, turned around, and ignored the guy, saying to Zhao Lanjin and the others, ”Let’s go, time to wrap up.”

”Did I say you could leave?”

Originally, as Qin Tian and his group were stepping back to rest for a bit, they were stopped by Chen Weiming before even turning away.

Qin Tian frowned, ”Sir, is there anything else?”

By this time, Qin Tian had long developed a strong tolerance for these situations, enduring not just Chen Weiming’s petty tricks but even greater humiliations was something he could handle.

”Hmm, the bandits you just beheaded are only a part of the ones we need to eliminate this time. Next, you need to keep up the good work and try to find the bandit leader and the head of the Demon Clan Immortality Cultivators for me.”

”Hmm, expecting you to find and kill them is unrealistic. It would suffice if you just locate them, and I’ll take care of the rest myself.”

With that, Chen Weiming pointed to the distant Nanyun Town, saying, ”Go on!”

Qin Tian gritted his teeth and looked back at Xie Tingjie and the others, all of whom were already furious to the point of gnashing their teeth.

Zhang Hefei’s face was pale with anger, and if it weren’t for Ye Zhiyuan holding him back, he would have exploded long ago.

Seeing Qin Tian and the others not moving, Chen Weiming frowned, feigning anger, ”What, you don’t want to go? Thinking of defying orders?”

”No, we’re going now.”

Qin Tian ignored Chen Weiming and led Zhao Lanjin and the others, turning and walking towards Nanyun Town again.

”Qin Tian, why are you holding me back? That Chen Weiming is just begging for a beating!” Zhang Hefei said furiously.

Xie Tingjie also said, ”If it were my old temper, I would have killed that annoying guy!”

Qin Tian replied, ”Brothers, people see what we do. Just wait, that Chen Weiming won’t have a good ending!”

Zhang Hefei said, ”So we just go be the vanguard for him again, to die for Chen Weiming? If that’s the case, I’d rather commit suicide with some dignity.”

”Calm down, Fei. Since he wants us to go back, we’ll go back. Hmph, does he really think his ploys will work again? I doubt it.” Qin Tian smirked.

Ye Zhiyuan said in surprise, ”Qin Tian, what do you mean? I think Chen Weiming is indeed trying the same old tricks again!”

Zhao Lanjin calmly said, ”He might be trying the same trick, but the bandits in Nanyun Town aren’t stupid. With so much commotion, do you think they’d just wait in Nanyun Town for us to wipe them out?”

”Oh, that’s true...”

”Then there’s nothing to worry about. Let’s go back.”

After Zhao Lanjin’s analysis, Ye Zhiyuan and the others finally relaxed and followed Qin Tian into Nanyun Town, which, upon entering, was indeed quiet and empty.

”Qin Tian, why don’t we just sleep here and let Chen Weiming gloat outside?”

After seeing no one in the town, Zhang Hefei suggested.

Qin Tian shook his head, ”Since we’re here, we should gain a little something. Fei, I reckon if we go a bit further, the Southern Camp people will start fighting with those bandits and Demon Clan Immortality Cultivators. By then, we could just go in, gather some Cultivation Immortality Resources. How about it? It’d be our compensation.”

Qin Tian’s suggestion instantly made Zhang Hefei’s eyes shine, ”Great idea! Damn, if those bandits die, their Cultivation Immortality Resources would just go to waste. We might as well go clean up the battlefield, haha!”

It was common in the army to loot the spoils of the dead, and no one expected Qin Tian to propose raiding Cultivation Immortality Resources from the Southern Camp’s people.

The group continued north, and sure enough, after walking a few miles, they intermittently heard the sounds of skirmishes, indicating that the Southern Camp was engaging with the bandits.

Paying no heed, Qin Tian led the group across the previous battlefield, beginning to gather the spoils.

”Qin Tian, see over there?”

When Qin Tian sat down on a hilltop to rest, Zhao Lanjin, who had not been gathering spoils but had been looking around from the hilltop, pointed at a distant peak and lowly said to Qin Tian, ”See what’s happening over there?”

”What’s happening?” Qin Tian hadn’t paid attention earlier.

Zhao Lanjin replied, ”I saw figures moving at the foot of that mountain, heading in the opposite direction of the Southern Camp, toward Chen Weiming’s flank. I suspect it’s the bandit leader.”

”These people, driven out of Nanyun Town, would undoubtedly encounter the Southern Camp people at other towns— panicked after a bout of fighting, they’re hiding in those mountain forests.”

”I suspect they have a base or hideout within those forests.”

Zhao Lanjin gazed into the distance, analyzing for Qin Tian.

After listening seriously, Qin Tian responded, ”Even if what you say is reasonable, then what?”

Zhao Lanjin looked at Qin Tian and replied, ”Then it depends on whether you want to earn merit.”

”Ha, merit? It would be more like giving merit to Chen Weiming. He might not be good at earning merits on the battlefield, but he’s great at seizing others’ credits...”

Halfway through his sentence, Qin Tian’s eyes lit up as he thought of something, laughing, ”Good, military merit. With such a great opportunity, how could I let it slip?”

Qin Tian pondered and came up with a brilliant plan, saying to Zhao Lanjin, ”How about it, come with me on a little trip?”

Zhao Lanjin nodded.

Qin Tian then said to Zhang Hefei and the others, ”You guys stay here and wait for us. Lanjin and I will head to that mountain to check things out. We’ll regroup with you later.”

Before setting off, Qin Tian thought of something, telling Ye Zhiyuan, ”Zhiyuan, if Chen Weiming comes with his people, tell him we went to investigate that mountain forest, understood?”

”Ah, should I tell him the truth, Qin Tian?”

”Yes, tell him the truth.” Qin Tian nodded to the surprised Ye Zhiyuan, then glanced at Zhao Lanjin, who wore no expression, and the two headed into the dense mountain forest.

”Chen Weiming, feel free to come and steal the glory.” Qin Tian took a deep breath, inwardly whispering.
