Lin Fan did not linger in the Heaven Mountain City for long. It was just a single night where he had a good chat with Wang Xiaoliu.
The next day …
Lin Fan picked up Wang Xiaoming and dove into the void. He then tossed Wang Xiaoming somewhere far away from the Heaven Mountain City.
"Uncle Lin, you must take care of me!" Wang Xiaoming yelled out.
"Don't worry."
The moment Lin Fan left, he let out a mysterious smile.
Now that he was out of the city, who knew how many Destined Children would go berserk under that arrogant personality of Wang Xiaoming's.
For Lin Fan, this was something to look forward to.
However, in order to prevent Wang Xiaoming from doing anything overboard, Lin Fan had the Heaven's Will take care of him.
If he were to forcefully snatch a chick, he would definitely be struck by lightning.
As the saying went, 'God is three feet above one's head'. And Lin Fan was the god above Wang Xiaoming.
Since Wang Xiaoming was calling him uncle, Lin Fan naturally would not allow him to go astray. It was alright for one to be a little cocky when one was young. After all, Lin Fan himself was pretty cocky as well.
After a long time …
For Lin Fan, it was merely the blink of an eye.
A gigantic city appeared before Lin Fan's eyes.
"To think that such a huge city could be developed in the Xuanhuang World. Seems like after the problem of the beasts is settled, the city would no longer be harassed by them. With that, the city would be able to develop steadily."
Lin Fan descended from the void and entered the city.
Along the streets, there were countless peddlers hawking their wares and countless martial artists walking on the streets.
Lin Fan extended his consciousness over and realized that there were all sorts of martial artists here. Not only that, their cultivation states were pretty decent as well.
Evidently, they had not been harassed by the outside world for the past few years and had developed steadily.
Inn!
Lin Fan was like any other ordinary person as he sat there and ordered some dishes and wine while listening to the stories of the people around him.
It had been a long time since he had such a relaxing moment.
Five years ago, the Xuanhuang World was not peaceful at all. Beasts roamed freely. Today, this city was safe and sound. However, it was hard to say that it would not be destroyed by beasts tomorrow.
"Today, the story of the Fourteen Sand Dao Kings shall be told."
At this moment, an old man, supported by a young girl, slowly walked in from outside. Soon after, he came to a fixed position, put down the tools in his hand, and with a shake of his body, he shouted loudly with a high spirit.
"Alright! The story of the Fourteen Sand Dao Kings is great!"
"Old Man Xu, hurry up and tell us. If you tell us well, there will be a reward."
Fourteen Sand Dao Kings?
When Lin Fan heard this, he was a little enraged. Why did this sound so familiar?
Lin Fan was pretty sure that these Fourteen Sand Dao Kings were his underlings.
At the thought of the Fourteen Sand Bandits, Lin Fan could not help but feel nostalgic. The Fourteen Sand Bandits of the past who had done all sorts of evil deeds. After they were subdued by him, they devoted themselves wholeheartedly to the art of robbery.
Now that five years had passed, he had no idea how things were going.
But, by the looks of it, it was evident that they had improved.
"There are a total of fourteen of these Fourteen Sand Dao Kings. Each of their cultivation states are exceedingly high, and they are the number one Dao Kings of the entire Xuanhuang World. However, the 'Dao' I'm talking about is not the 'Bandits'. Even though they are bandits, they are righteous and righteous, and can be considered as heroes." Old Man Xu's words were like a river, gushing out endlessly as though he was familiar with them.
"You're wrong, old man. They're clearly bandits. How in the world did they become heroes?" A young man at the neighboring table asked curiously.
By the looks of it, he seemed as though he had just come out to roam the Pugilistic World.
"Little Bro, there's no hurry. Let me explain in detail." Old Man Xu raised his withered palm and continued.
"If they were merely bandits, then they wouldn't be considered as heroes. I, Old Man Xu, had once had the honor of meeting with the head of the Fourteen Sand Dao Kings, the Head Leader Sha. After an entire night of conversation, the Head Leader Sha spat out some truths after he was drunk. Even though the Sand Bandits are known for the art of robbery, they are different. What they pursue is the art of robbery."
"Old Man Xu, you can continue bragging. Someone like you could have an entire night of conversation with the Head Leader Sha? HAHAHA!"
Someone said in disbelief.
Old Man Xu coughed dryly, unbothered in the least bit, "The Fourteen Sand Dao Kings do things in a weird manner. If they were to rob, they would definitely kill. But each time they rob, not only would they not kill anyone, they would only take a fixed amount of money. At the same time, they would send the other party to their destination. Don't you guys think that's weird?"
"Weird. That's weird indeed."
For the people of the bar, this was a place where they loved to listen to stories during their free time every day.
Seeing that the atmosphere was pretty good, Old Man Xu continued, "In this old man's opinion, even though the deeds of the Fourteen Sand Dao Kings are unspeakable, if you think about it carefully, aren't the Fourteen Sand Dao Kings doing good deeds?"
"Right now, the world is peaceful and free from the harassment of beasts. However, bandits roam the land. Merchants have to travel a long distance to transport their goods. Most of them would be stopped by bandits. Losing their money is a small matter. But if they were to lose their lives, that would be a huge problem."
"As for the Fourteen Sand Dao Kings, even though they rob, they do it in a fixed amount. Even though they are bandits, they do not kill anyone. After robbing, they would send the merchants to their destination. Based on this old man's observation, there are quite a number of merchants in this city who do not hire any guards and enter the territory of the Fourteen Sand Dao Kings intentionally."
"And when the Fourteen Sand Dao Kings are not around, these merchants would set up camp there and await the arrival of the Fourteen Sand Dao Kings. Tell me, for bandits to be able to go to such an extent, can they be considered heroes?"
Old Man Xu said.
The moment Lin Fan heard this, he nearly spat out the wine in his mouth.
Weren't Sha Dulong and the others way too bloody good at doing things? To think that they could even come up with such a way to rob!
To be able to make people wait at the same spot willingly for them to rob, they did have some capabilities.
In the past, Lin Fan had only told them about the Dao of Robbery. But in reality, that was just a scam.
But by the looks of things right now, it seemed as though Sha Dulong and the others had truly come into contact with the Dao of Robbery.
Talents! They were truly talents indeed!
Lin Fan gulped down his cup and could not help but sigh. Seemed like anyone who had gone through his tutelage would definitely turn into talents.
"Hmph! Aren't they just a bunch of bandits? To think that they can be described as heroes by you! After today, the Fourteen Sand Bandits shall cease to exist!" At this moment, a group of disciples dressed in sect uniforms walked in one after another.
"Lad, serve the wine!"
…
"Why do the few of you guys say that?" Old Man Xu asked curiously.
The disciple in the lead had a haughty expression, "Today, Your Daddy is in a pretty good mood. Let me tell you guys about it."
"We are disciples of the Jiuling Sect. Today, the Barren City shall become the vassal of the Jiuling Sect. Therefore, all the bandits in the surroundings shall be eradicated. These Fourteen Sand Dao Kings or whatnot shall become history as well."
The moment this haughty looking disciple spoke about the Jiuling Sect, he could not help but feel even more proud. Lifting up his wine cup, he gulped it down in a single gulp.
"They're disciples of the Jiuling Sect?"
"The Jiuling Sect is a new sect that has just risen up in the past few years. I heard that when the sect was first opened, all the major sects came to congratulate them. It was a huge scene!"
"I heard that the Grandmaster of the Jiuling Sect is a young woman who is known as the Great Empress of the Jiuling Sect. Her strength is torrential, and her martial arts are tyrannical. Countless people have died in her hands."
"The Barren City is going to become the vassal of the Jiuling Sect. This is a big deal. If the Jiuling Sect were to strike out, the Fourteen Sand Dao Kings would definitely be in danger."
"That's right … that's right."
Lin Fan frowned. Without lingering any longer, he turned around and left the place.
