What Lu Ping had guessed back in the swamp was correct. The Green Fox Nine Bandits were indeed planning to set up a base of operations and end their wandering life of training.
In order to set up a base of operations, the first thing they had to consider was the spirit vein they needed for training. This was also why the Green Fox Nine Bandits had tried to steal the small spirit vein Lu Ping had limited to.
However, the Green Fox Nine Bandits seemed to have forgotten that they were bandits after all, bandits of the training world. Even though they were injured and rarely stained with blood, they still had many enemies. A base of operations did not give them a peaceful life of training, but rather a place that they could not break free from.
Add to that the fact that the Green Fox Nine Bandits had robbed quite a lot of good stuff when they were roaming around and committing crimes all those years ago, and the Green Fox Nine Bandits themselves naturally had no use for these things. As such, the rest of the items were naturally stored away by them. As a result, the rumor that the Green Fox Nine Bandits didn't exist became a hot topic in the training world of the plains and Hebei.
Countless enemies of the past were like cats that had smelled fish. After hearing that the Green Fox Nine Bandits intended to go into seclusion, they all searched the training world of Hebei and the plains for traces of the Green Fox Nine Bandits. In the end, the Green Fox Nine Bandits' base of operations was found, and the hunt for the Green Fox Nine Bandits began.
This was especially true for the Dharma adept of the Diligent Snow Sect, who had heavily injured the Green Fox Nine Bandits in the battle that had made them famous. After the Green Fox Nine Bandits had set up the "Nine Palace Clear Void Formation," they had first killed a few late Core Forging disciples of the Diligent Snow Sect and then heavily injured the Diligent Snow Sect's Laozu, which had directly led to the collapse of the Diligent Snow Sect. It could be said that the Diligent Snow Sect's Laozu and the Green Fox Nine Bandits had a deep-seated hatred that was equivalent to the destruction of the entire sect. Among the cultivators of the plains and Hebei who had chased after the Green Fox Nine Bandits, this Diligent Snow Sect's Laozu had been the one who had put in the most effort.
While Master Xuantian explained the matter regarding the Cyan Fox Nine Bandits to Lu Ping, he failed to notice that Lu Ping's expression had turned unsightly. The Cyan Fox Nine Bandits were chess pieces that Lu Ping wanted to obtain. Lu Ping had already considered them carefully.
Moreover, the leader of the nine, Qing Hu, was the foster sister of the Spirit Taming Sect's direct disciple, Reverend Sang Yu. With this relationship, it might be an opportunity for Zhenling to get closer to the Spirit Taming Sect in the future. Moreover, Reverend Sang Yu owed Lu Ping a favor.
Although Lu Ping had used treasures such as the Spirit Clearing Pill and the Green Jade Glass Liquid to make up for this favor, both Reverend Sang Yu and Lu Ping knew that saving Reverend Sang Yu from the brink of destruction was not something that could be repaid with treasures.
When Lu Ping arrived at the base of the Cyan Fox Nine Bandits in a secluded valley in Hebei's cultivation world, Lu Ping couldn't help but shake his head when he saw the devastation of the small village.
The small village had long since been reduced to ruins. Black ash from the fire could be seen everywhere. Lu Ping could clearly sense traces of the surrounding defensive formations being destroyed. At the same time, he could also sense that the Cyan Fox Nine Bandits had recently changed. All of this showed that the Cyan Fox Nine Bandits had put a lot of thought into this base of theirs.
Lu Ping didn't know how many of the Cyan Fox Nine Bandits could survive the pursuit of the two cultivation worlds. However, although Lu Ping valued the Cyan Fox Nine Bandits, he only cared about their leader, Qing Hu. Although the other eight were somewhat capable, Lu Ping didn't think much of them. As far as he was concerned, it was fine as long as he could save Qing Hu in the end.
Lu Ping opened the door to the House of Gold and let Samling out. Lu Bi and Lu Ling 'er looked around for a while before saying to Lu Ping, "Father, they've gone northeast!"
Among the Nine Bandits, the seventh and ninth brothers had been bitten by Lu Bi and Lu Ling 'er. Naturally, the scent of these two people was very clear. Furthermore, the snake venom in their wounds had been left behind by Lu Ping. As long as these two people did not die, Lu Ping would be able to find the Cyan Fox Nine Bandits' tracks.
In a place where no one else went, Qin Xue Laozu was looking at the Cyan Fox Nine Bandits, who had been blocked by him and his good friend, Nan Hua Laozu.
The greatest shame of his life was that he had been tricked by these nine people. Not only had he been seriously injured, but the Diligent Snow Sect that he had built up had also been destroyed. He had become the laughingstock of the Dharma adepts on the plains.
Qin Xue Laozu had been plotting to kill the Cyan Fox Nine Bandits, and he had been secretly tracking the Cyan Fox Nine Bandits' tracks. However, he did not have much confidence in his own abilities. Thus, after finding out where the Cyan Fox Nine Bandits were hiding, he had no choice but to team up with Nan Hua Laozu.
Qin Xue Laozu and Nan Hua Laozu actually did not have a very deep relationship. It was just that although the Cyan Fox Nine Bandits were famous, they were not hated by anyone. There were not many Dharma adepts who would be willing to make a move against a few juniors. This Nan Hua Laozu could be said to have come looking for him. The two of them naturally hit it off.
Nan Hua Laozu was also helpless. How could he not know that if word of what he had done were to spread, he would definitely be looked down upon by other adepts of the same level? However, he was extremely helpless.
Three years ago, the Huayu Sect had been mysteriously attacked by two Dharma adepts, and more than half of the Huayu Sect's assets had been taken away. The Huayu Sect, which had originally been considered wealthy among the small powers in the Hebei training world, had suddenly become penniless. In addition, in the Yingyu Swamp, the Huayu Sect's number one expert, Qing Hua Laozu, had unexpectedly fallen, and the Huayu Sect's power had dropped even further.
Now, in the words of mortals, the Huayu Sect was already so poor that they could barely eat. In the past three years, the Huayu Sect had not taken in a single disciple. The Huayu Sect had not been able to guarantee the training resources of the sect's adepts, and everyone was living in poverty. Many of the disciples had not been determined, and had already found an excuse to leave the sect to seek their own future.
This was something that the three Laozu of the Huayu Sect were naturally anxious about. Thus, when they heard that the Cyan Fox Nine Bandits might have some treasures on them, Nan Hua Laozu, as a Dharma adept, had come running over. He was prepared to join forces with Qin Xue Laozu to steal the treasures that had originally belonged to the Core Forging adepts of the Cyan Fox Nine Bandits.
"Cyan Fox, where do the nine of you think you can escape to now? If you know what's good for you, then hand over all the loot you've stolen from others over the years. Perhaps Nan Hua and I will give you a quick and painless end. If you still want to resist stubbornly, then we have the means to make you beg for death! "
Qin Xue Laozu looked at the nine despairing people in front of him, and his heart was filled with joy. The trauma that had been left in his heart by the nine of them all those years ago seemed to have disappeared!
After the Cyan Fox Nine Bandits' base had been discovered, their pursuers had quickly arrived. After a series of battles, the nine of them had used the power of the "Nine Palaces Clear Void Formation" to repel most of the pursuers. However, in the end, they were still blocked by the two Dharma adepts in front of them.
As they fought, the nine of them had suffered varying degrees of injuries, and the inner Yuan in their bodies did not have much time to recover. Under normal circumstances, the nine of them might have been able to use the "Nine Palaces Clear Void Formation" to resist for a while, and perhaps one or two of them would have been able to escape. But now, the nine of them seemed to have the will to die at the same time.
"Boss, let's fight it out with them. In a while, the few of us will hold them back. Boss, you take the opportunity to escape and avenge us in the future!"
After Qing Hu and Qing Lang had discussed with the other siblings, they turned to Qing Hu and said, "Don't talk nonsense.
If anyone wants to leave, it should be Seventh Sister and Ninth Sister. They are the weakest, and they won't be of much help even if they stay. After we escape, we should first go to Ying Shan Immortal Academy to find that Lu Xuanping to get rid of the snake venom in his body. If possible, we should see if we can beg him to help our two sisters in Ying Shan Immortal Academy. It's a pity that Eighth Brother is injured … "
"Big Sister, I won't leave. I want to be with everyone!"
Without waiting for Qing Hu to finish speaking, Eighth Brother, who was at the side, said anxiously, "Let Seventh Sister and Ninth Sister leave. I'm already in this state, I can't leave!"
"We won't leave either!"
Seventh Sister and Ninth Sister also protested.
"Nonsense, what do you know? Today, the nine of us have fallen. Only if one of you survives will you have any hope of revenge in the future. With the name of the Nine Bandits, you will still be hated by the world of practitioners. Only by joining a sect and obtaining the protection of a sect can you have a decent life in the future!"
Qing Hu reprimanded in a stern voice.
"Then why do we have to beg that person? That person is very despicable. He used snake venom to force us. He's a complete villain!"
Ninth Sister said carefully. She still held a grudge against Lu Ping's expression that day.
Seventh Sister also said, "That's right. Big Sister, let's not go beg him. If we die, we will die together!"
Qing Hu looked at her two youngest sisters helplessly. Usually, they had many big brothers and big sisters to take care of them, so they had no idea about the viciousness of the people in the cultivation world.
"Now is not the time to talk about this. If Big Brother Sang Yu hadn't gone to challenge the experts of the Yuwen Clan, I wouldn't have entrusted my two sisters to a small sect like Ying Shan Immortal Academy. It's a pity that the cultivators of the Spirit Taming Beast Sect come and go without a trace. Even if I wanted to ask this sworn brother for help, it's impossible. That Spirit Taming Beast Sect has never accepted disciples with skills.
What Qing Hu didn't say was that her sworn brother, Reverend Sang Yu, had a very high evaluation of Lu Ping and had some guesses about Lu Ping's origins. That guess was also the reason why Qing Hu decided to ask her two sisters to join Ying Shan Immortal Academy.
Nanhua Laozu looked at Qinxue Laozu in disdain. Qinxue Laozu, who was intoxicated by success, wanted to establish a sect and become its ancestor? It was no wonder that after she had been defeated, the sect had immediately scattered.
Qinxue Laozu naturally didn't know that she was being looked down upon once again. She looked at the nine people in front of her, who were standing in formation and whispering to each other. Although she couldn't hear what they were saying, she didn't see the Green Fox Nine Bandits panicking in the face of death. Instead, she felt as if she had been ignored. Qinxue Laozu's previous happiness disappeared without a trace.
Lu Ping naturally didn't know what the leader, Qing Hu, was thinking. He followed Lu Bi and Lu Ling 'er's directions and had already arrived at the location of the Desolate drone. At this time, he was using the Five Elements Cloud Robe to conceal himself. He was using his Divine Will, which far surpassed that of the two Dharma adepts present, to observe the situation.
"There are actually two Dharma adepts. The Green Fox Nine Bandits are really unlucky to have provoked two Dharma adepts to lower themselves to kill them. This is going to be difficult."
