Chapter 422: Three Bandits
Chapter 422: Three Bandits
At this time, Du Fang was being carried and rushed eastward along the Wangsheng River.
The wind whistled in her ears. After a while, Jiang Yingxue seemed to realize that the direction was wrong. She hesitated and said, "Uncle, aren't we going north? Why are we heading east now?"
Jiang Li snorted coldly, "Those two people just now were the spies planted here by the Longyuan Sword Sect. The twenty-three high-level sword cultivators of the Longyuan Golden Sect are all distributed among the seven major cities in the Wangsheng River Basin. The bald man is the Pavilion Master who commands this place. Don't you understand why these two showed up here?"
"Ah..." Jiang Yingxue was shocked. She never thought that her uncle's old friend would be from Longyuan Sword Sect. Moreover, her uncle did not expose the truth just now. The two men, a monk and a Taoist priest, pretended to be old acquaintances and waved to each other.
"Then...then why are you..." Jiang Yingxue hadn't finished speaking.
Jiang Li knew what he wanted to ask and interrupted him immediately: "Idiot, if I had pointed it out earlier, we would have been fighting with them by now. They didn't get into a fight because they were afraid of my higher cultivation level. If we really fought, even though I have a higher cultivation level, Long Yuan's four great sword slaves are all in the Northern Territory. If we were to hold them back, any sword slave of the third level of the Immortal Slashing Dao would come here. Not to mention the two of us, even if we used the strength of my entire clan, we wouldn't be able to save the entire Yingxue City!"
Jiang Yingxue trembled as she spoke, "So... So they already knew what we did on the river, but kept it to themselves and let us go. They must have set a trap ahead... waiting for us to fall into it..."
"You're finally smart!"
Jiang Li sneered, "We killed Wang Shisan, so naturally those two saw it. If they didn't act immediately, it means they weren't sure they could take us down. So guess... why didn't they chase us?"
"Are they...waiting for help?" Jiang Yingxue asked doubtfully.
Jiang Li sneered and said, "I've already guessed this. Yes, you're right. There are too many high-level cultivators in the north right now. Not to mention the masters of Longyuan, there are also many Nine Realm Sword Cultivators who have been left behind by the Nine Sword Sects. There are also people who have come to watch the battle from all over the place. The exiles from the five major sword sects in the southern region have all come from the Realm Sea and know the secret of the immortal spirit. What do you think... if they knew that we had the second immortal spirit flower in our hands..."
He didn't say anything else. The pros and cons had been stated, and he knew what choice his nephew should make.
"I will obey my uncle's orders!"
Jiang Yingxue looked at her uncle with admiration. Her uncle was really an old fox. However, her mind changed and she suddenly became worried. She looked at the Wangsheng River in the east and the dark clouds.
"what are you worried about?"
Jiang Li's expression was not very good either.
"Nephew... I'm worried... Ahead is the Black Stone Mountains, the heartland where the three clans of Jinghai and the ghost clan mine!"
Jiang Li said: "The ghost tribe is nothing to be afraid of. They have already been seriously injured. Yuan Ying of the Immortal Three Slash Dao is also in the White Bone City and can't threaten us!"
"My nephew is worried...that..."
"Just say what you want to say, man, don't be so hesitant!" Jiang Li was very unhappy.
Jiang Yingxue immediately said, "The Black Stone Mountains are where the Thirteen Great Bandits of Jinghai often appear!"
'The Thirteen Great Bandits of Jinghai'!
As soon as the six words came out, Jiang Li's body suddenly stiffened. He was very clear about the power of these words. Fifteen years ago, no one in the surrounding areas of Jinghai, whether in the southern or northern regions, had ever heard of these thirteen big bandits.
Until seven or eight years ago, they suddenly rose up and started to make trouble. Many powerful cultivators suffered losses in the seven huge cities along the Wangsheng River, including Yingxue City, Kaiyuan City, Heyang City, and the sword sects in the six or seven big cities along the Wangsheng River.
No city can fight against the thirteen bandits alone.
The origins of these bandits are very mysterious, as if they suddenly appeared out of thin air from the sea. The center of their enclave is the Black Stone Mountains.
After six or seven years of fighting, the city lords, who had suffered countless losses, finally gradually figured out the origins of the bandits. These people were once the elites of the major sects in the Southern Region.
For unknown reasons, they were abducted by the three tribes of Jinghai and enslaved in the deep-sea mines of Jinghai, digging for stardust mines. The big bandits began to emerge. It was fifteen years ago that there was a big earthquake. The three thousand feet of sea water in Jinghai evaporated, the earth dragon turned over, and the Buzhou Mountains rose.
These big bandits seemed to have received some kind of evil inheritance. Each of them had top-notch cultivation, and almost every one of them was a powerful warrior who had reached the ninth level.
They lay dormant for seven years and developed in the mine for seven years before they began to leave the mine and started fighting with the powerful cultivators in the human city on the ground.
These bandits neither rob women or property in the big cities nor steal the secret techniques of cultivation in the major cities. Their only hobby is to kill people.
And those killed were basically the top cultivators in the huge city.
No one knows the reason.
The only thing we know is that there are thirteen bandits, all of whom are disabled, with either a broken leg, a missing arm, a cut-off nose, or a missing ear, including the deaf, blind, and lame.
Half of the body was refined, and the skin and face were engraved with words and runes.
Stitched onto their bodies were the limbs of former monsters.
There are even some that can transform into monsters and compete with human swordsmen. According to legend, the one who commands these thirteen monsters is a blind man with a broken arm.
He gave himself a name - Blind Boss!
No one has ever seen his appearance, and no one knows his cultivation level, but everyone is filled with fear of this name, because Yuan Ying, the Lord of White Bone City, a ninth-level strongman of the Ghost Clan, a third-level immortal swordsman, and a white-bone swordsman stained with divine blood, also suffered losses at his hands.
Countless people in Jinghai believed that after that battle, the Ghost Clan lost the stardust mine deep in Jinghai, and therefore had no choice but to move the entire clan to White Bone City.
So, when Jiang Yingxue said these words, Jiang Li's body also trembled.
He suddenly stopped while holding Du Fang's body. Jiang Yingxue was not paying attention and the sword flew far away. It immediately turned around and came back, calling out anxiously, "Uncle!"
Jiang Li looked at Du Fang, and suddenly stretched out his hand. A breath of air hit his forehead, and Du Fang's stiff body immediately felt soft and his body was limp, but he could actually move.
He could start cursing as soon as he moved:
"You old thief, if you carry me like this, I will chop you into eight pieces one day to vent the humiliation I suffered today!" Du Fang became furious as Jiang Yingxue approached him.
This bastard is so young, but he tells lies without hesitation. He even said that he is a traitor from Jiangmen in Yingxue City and stole the Taoist secrets of Yingxue City.
Du Fang was about to continue cursing when Jiang Li suddenly stopped him and said calmly:
"If you curse again, I'll cut off your tongue and throw it into the river to feed the fish!"
Du Fang stopped talking in dismay. He had seen what the two men said and did, and knew that they would definitely do such a thing if they were desperate.
He even killed the people he brought with him. Even though the two naked women who had made love with the City Lord Yingxue not long ago, were like pigs and dogs in the eyes of this young man, not to mention himself whose life was in the hands of others.
Du Fang bit his lip in anger, but then he felt unsurprised and cursed angrily:
"I'm not a fairy, you've got the wrong guy!"
