On the other side of the World of Cultivators, in the Burning Sky Faction of the Liuxian Prefecture.
"My husband Xiao Chen, why are your ears so red all of a sudden? Could it be that some woman is missing you? " Hong Zhu, who was lying on Xiao Chen's shoulder, teased his burning ears, and teased him with a smile.
"Oh, maybe it's Mengying and Tang Tang who are missing me!" Xiao Chen didn't pay attention to Hong Zhu's dishonest hands, and continued to look at the map on the table with his head lowered.
"I think it's you who are missing them, right?" Hong Zhu chuckled and looked down from Xiao Chen's shoulder. She asked curiously, "My husband Xiao Chen, what are you looking at? You have been looking at this map for two or three days. Could it be that you still can't see anything? "
"This is a map of the World of Cultivators. I asked Duan Suqing for it." Xiao Chen's finger ran across the map. In the past few days, he had already memorized the geographical locations of the World of Cultivators marked on the map.
"You mean, you are going to …" Hong Zhu blinked and asked tentatively.
"Yes, it's time to leave." Xiao Chen put away the map and said with a serious expression, "It has already been more than a month. The people from the Burning Sky Faction have more or less swept through the small towns around the Liuxian County. However, there is still no news of them. Therefore, I plan to leave this place in two days and go to the other counties to ask around. Otherwise, it is not a good idea to always stay here."
"Okay! I will go wherever you go. The World of Cultivators is so big. I want to go with you! "Hong Zhu was not surprised by Xiao Chen's plan at all. She nodded and agreed.
Actually, Hong Zhu felt that living in the Burning Heavens Faction was quite boring. Every day, apart from dual cultivating with Xiao Chen and drinking the medicinal soup he brewed to help her breakthrough, basically everything was taken care of by someone else. Every day, she had to stretch out her hands to get her clothes and open her mouth to eat. It was almost suffocating her to death!
"Do you think we are going to travel? What's so interesting about the world of cultivators? "Xiao Chen knocked Hong Zhu's head and snapped.
"Aiya, in any case, your disciple's Junior Brother has more or less recovered from his injuries, and we don't have any reason to continue staying in the Burning Heavens Faction. Let's just treat it as a vacation that we can leave whenever we want!" Hong Zhu rubbed his head in an unconcerned manner as he muttered to himself.
"What? What do you mean my disciple's junior brother? " Xiao Chen was taken aback at first, but after pondering for a moment, realization dawned on her. Not knowing whether to laugh or cry, she glared at Hong Zhu and said, "My Big Sister Hong Zhu, can't you speak properly? Their relationship is already weird enough, and you're still messing around. Don't you think it's not messy enough here? "
"I …" Just as Hong Zhu was about to retort, Gong Shaoxi's anxious shout suddenly came from outside the door, "Master Exalted Immortal! Is it convenient for you to come out? This disciple has something to discuss with you! "
Hong Zhu and Xiao Chen looked at each other, both feeling somewhat puzzled, not understanding what Gong Shaoxi was doing here in the middle of the night. Xiao Chen shook his head, arranged the map, opened the door, and walked out with Hong Zhu.
"I say, Little Gong, why do you always like to come and disturb your Master at night? You're already so old, yet you're still so insensible! " Hong Zhu took the lead and walked up to Gong Shaoxi, squinted at him, and curled his lips in annoyance.
"Uh … about that, Master, Master's wife, I've indeed run into a bit of trouble. Otherwise, I wouldn't have dared to come and look for you in the middle of the night, no matter how much courage I had!" Gong Shaoxi explained with a bitter face.
"What happened? Could it be that there's something wrong with your father's body again? "Xiao Chen pressed Hong Zhu down and asked Gong Shaoxi.
Previously, when Xiao Chen had given Gong Ruitong the dregs of the medicine, the latter's immune system had shown signs of slight rejection, causing him to vomit and have diarrhea for quite a while. It was only after taking several doses of medicine in succession that he gradually adapted to the effects.
When this situation first occurred, Gong Shaoxi was so scared that his soul nearly flew away. In the middle of the night, he ran to Xiao Chen's room to ask for help, which made Hong Zhu so angry that he wanted to die, and gave him a good scolding.
After Xiao Chen went to examine Gong Shaoxi, he determined that this situation was due to the fierce medicinal strength of the medicine. Only then did Gong Shaoxi feel relieved.
"No, no, my Junior Brother is fine this time. The problem lies with the mountain bandits near the Liuxian Prefecture!" Gong Shaoxi hurriedly waved his hand and said angrily.
"Mountain bandits? Are you referring to the group of bandits that you mentioned to me a few days ago? "Xiao Chen raised his brows and asked in astonishment.
As it turned out, the Liuxian Prefecture was vast, and most of it was made up of forests and wastelands. In the mountain range surrounding the city, there had always been a group of mountain bandits who raided houses and robbed houses. Usually, they would burn, kill, and loot the belongings of the passing merchants for a living. Almost all the merchants in the Liuxian Prefecture, big or small, had been robbed by them.
When the mountain bandits were wreaking havoc, all the merchants in the Liuxian Prefecture had suffered great losses. They closed their doors and refused to receive any customers. The entire market was on the verge of collapse. After that, they had no other choice but to seek help from the Burning Sky Faction and the Tranquil Forest Sect, hoping that the two largest sects in the prefecture would lend them a helping hand.
The Tranquil Forest Sect and the Burning Sky Faction knew the big picture and sent out their disciples to serve as the merchants' guardians. They ruthlessly suppressed the mountain bandits' robberies, and only then did they curb their arrogant behavior, allowing the merchants to resume their normal trading activities.
However, despite the suppression, the mountain bandits were still like grass that had grown out of the wastelands. With the spring wind, they grew again. They originally wanted to continue their previous behavior, but they realized that the merchants were already guarded by the guardians. After failing to rob the merchants' belongings several times, the mountain bandits became angry out of humiliation. They decided to vent their anger on the Burning Sky Faction and the Tranquil Forest Sect, who had taught them a lesson!
Although they did not have the ability to fight against the two large sects, the mountain bandits had their own tricks. They displayed the principle of fighting if they could win, running if they could not win. They played guerrilla warfare with the Burning Sky Faction and the Tranquil Forest Sect, harassing them from time to time. They deliberately wanted to annoy the two sects to death.
The Tranquil Forest Sect was located in the wasteland, and the surrounding area was heavily guarded. The mountain bandits had probed a few times, but they realized that there was no advantage to be gained. Instead, there were more situations where both sides were injured, and the number of times they launched sneak attacks was also reduced.
However, the Burning Sky Faction was different. Their faction was located on a mountain peak, and it was originally the main peak of a mountain range. As the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathered there, the back mountain was filled with natural treasures. They were usually used for their own use or sold, and it was also considered as their main source of income.
However, the mountain bandits somehow discovered those natural treasures. It was as if they had discovered a new continent, and they would come to rob them from time to time.
Duan Suqing tried to set up various protective barriers in the back mountain, but it was still to no avail. It seemed that there were people among the mountain bandits who knew how to deal with it. No matter what kind of barrier he set up, it would still be destroyed by the mountain bandits. Hence, there were many conflicts between the two parties.
