Now that the Gong Family's convoy had left reluctantly, it was fortunate that the other party had not taken a liking to the six beasts. Otherwise, the Gong Family would have suffered a huge loss this time around.
To meet such a situation while crossing the Death Desert, they were helpless as well. The other party was strong, and it was already a blessing that they were able to stay alive. However, they did not know how the other party would treat the fourteen Sand Bandits. If they could kill them in the Death Desert, that would be a good thing.
Without the fourteen Sand Bandits, the Death Desert would be even safer.
Looking at the Gong Family's convoy leaving, Lin Fan heaved a sigh of relief. He was a little taken aback. What Yin and Yang? What gender? Those were just empty words of his. If he didn't care about all that, he wouldn't have been staring at Gong Bingye's chest all this while.
However, he couldn't be blamed for what had happened just now. Who asked Gong Bingye to provoke him with her words? As a man of character, how could he allow himself to be trampled over by a weak woman? This was a black mark in his life that he would never be able to erase in the future, as he was determined to become a man who could shake the world with his might.
Right now, the fourteen Sand Bandits were trembling in fear. "Senior, we can leave now, right?"
Since they were weaker than the other party, they were treated like ants that could be squashed anytime they wanted. But to Sha Dulong, all he wanted was to stay alive.
Looking at the fourteen Sand Bandits, Lin Fan's eyes shone brightly as his lips curled into a smile. This smile caused the fourteen Sand Bandits to shiver in fear. Was he going to kill them?
"Big Bro, why don't we give it our all?" Even though Sha Miexiong was short, the feeling of having his life in someone else's hands was really uncomfortable.
Lin Fan had his own plans right now. His target this time around was the Fiery Hell.
This Fiery Hell was the closest forbidden ground to Glory Sect in the 'Seven Saints Treasure Map'. According to the sect's records, the Fiery Hell was an extremely dangerous forbidden ground. Even for sects, they wouldn't choose to train there.
That place was covered in dust all year round, and the everlasting flames of hell grew there. It was like hell on earth.
Even though this Fiery Hell was the closest out of all the targets, it was still a long way off. Even Lin Fan was only a fifth of the way there.
Lin Fan had no idea what he would encounter along the way.
Moreover, this was not like being in the sect. In the outside world, no one would know who you were, and you had to take care of your own needs.
Looking at the other party's silence and the frightening glint in his eyes, Sha Dulong's heart was filled with pity. Perhaps, today was the doomsday of the Fourteen Sand Bandits.
Sha Dulong looked at these brothers who had followed him for so many years and sighed in his heart. He was indebted to everyone and became their big brother. At this moment, he naturally had to bear the responsibility of a big brother.
At this moment, Sha Dulong tossed the weapon in his hands onto the ground and looked at Lin Fan, "Senior, I shall bear the consequences of my own actions. Even though we, the Fourteen Sand Bandits, have killed countless of people, we have never killed the innocent. In this world, the only reason we live is to have a single breath and a full meal. I implore senior to let my brothers off.
"Big Brother, you can't …!" The bandits' hearts skipped a beat.
"Brothers, that's enough." Sha Dulong waved his hand.
After all, they were people who wandered the desert. Some of them were abandoned disciples of their sects, some of them were hiding from their enemies, and most of them were helpless.
"What are you guys doing?" Lin Fan was deep in thought. By the time he snapped back to his senses, he realized that the fourteen Sand Bandits were tugging at one another, as though they were about to be separated by life and death.
"Senior, please let my brothers off. I'll bear all the consequences." Sha Dulong's face did not change.
Looking at the fourteen Sand Bandits, Lin Fan had an idea. Straightening his face, he glared at them sternly.
"You guys deserve to die for your crimes. But Yours Truly is not a heartless man. From today onwards, you guys shall follow Yours Truly and turn over a new leaf. When Yours Truly deems that you guys can leave, I'll let you guys leave on your own accord. Do you guys have any doubts?" Lin Fan spoke up.
Along the way to Fiery Hell, Lin Fan would definitely need some followers to do some menial work. These fourteen Sand Bandits were pretty decent for most people. But even if he were to chop them up, he might not gain much experience points. Therefore, he might as well bring them along with him and make good use of them.
Sha Dulong and the others looked at one another. They had not expected the other party to say something like this.
"I'm willing to serve senior!" Without hesitation, Sha Dulong kowtowed to the ground.
The other bandits around him did the same, kneeling on the ground as well.
Sha Dulong's heart was filled with excitement. He had not expected the other party to take them in. This was something they could never have imagined.
To them, this was a gift from the Heavens. Even though they would lose their freedom to submit to someone else, it still depended on who they were dealing with.
For someone as powerful as this man before them, if they could follow by his side, that would be a blessing from the Heavens.
"Yes, all of you, rise." Lin Fan nodded his head in satisfaction. At least you guys know what's good for you. If not, I might have really chopped you guys up.
"Let Yours Truly ask you guys. Fiery Hell, do you guys know anything about it?" Even though the sect's records were very comprehensive, it was a long time ago. Lin Fan wondered what it was like now.
These fourteen Sand Bandits had been around for a long time now. They should know much more than him.
"Sir, you're heading to Fiery Hell?" Sha Dulong asked in surprise.
"Yes, I have something to do over there. What's wrong? Is there something wrong?" Lin Fan saw a hint of panic in Sha Dulong's expression, as though something had happened. "Hmm, I have something to do over there.
"Sir, no one dares to venture deep into Fiery Hell. I've heard that a year ago, a beast covered in flames descended upon Fiery Hell. Everywhere the beast passed by, it turned into a sea of flames. Many sects sent their men over, but there were countless casualties. I wonder if they've left yet." Sha Dulong replied.
"Yes, let's talk on the way." Lin Fan nodded his head. This piece of news was important to him. At the same time, he was extremely frustrated. Why was the first place they were going to explore so damn dangerous?
A beast covered in flames? Just what sort of beast was that? There were no records of it in the sect's records!
Along the way, Sha Dulong told Lin Fan about the situation in Fiery Hell. However, there were some things that Sha Dulong did not know about. But to Lin Fan, these pieces of news were of some use.
Lin Fan also found out about the past of Sha Dulong and the others. As for the Gong Family's Family Head, his death in the Death Desert was a tragedy as well.
The Gong Family Head's cultivation base was much higher than the fourteen Sand Bandits. But because he was too flamboyant, he attracted the attention of the powerful beast in the Death Desert. Eventually, he fell.
As for Sha Dulong, he was blinded in one of his eyes by the beast. It was with much difficulty that he managed to escape from death.
But for people in this line of work, they naturally needed some results. Therefore, the news of the Gong Family Head's death was spread far and wide, claiming that he died in their hands.
