Hundreds of miles away from the Barren City was a desolate desert.
This was the territory of the Fourteen Sand Dao Kings.
Back when Sha Dulong was looking for a mountain, he had his eyes on this place. Therefore, he stayed here for a couple of years.
In these few years, Sha Dulong had made a name for himself. The entire Barren City knew that there were fourteen Sand Bandits in this desolate desert hundreds of miles away.
However, for the people of the Barren City, these Sand Bandits weren't scary at all. They wouldn't rob poor people like them.
As for the merchants, they were extremely fearful at the start. But ever since the first merchant appeared, things started to change.
The Fourteen Sand Bandits started to gain popularity. From time to time, there would be merchants stopping by intentionally, hoping to be robbed by the Fourteen Sand Bandits.
From this day forth, the Fourteen Sand Bandits were referred to as the Fourteen Sand Dao Kings by the merchants.
These were the righteous Sand Bandits!
In the eyes of these merchants, the Fourteen Sand Dao Kings were bandits with professional ethics.
"Today is yet another good day for robbing." Sha Dulong stood on a sand dune and looked at the blazing sun.
"Big Bro, you're right. The weather is really good today." Everyone chimed in.
"The Dao of robbing … We've already seen the basics. Big Bro wasn't lying to us in the past. The Dao of robbing truly exists." Sha Dulong's face let out a look of reminiscence.
At this moment, everyone quietened down. In the past few years, their party had grown stronger, and they had taken in quite a number of people. But at this moment, everyone knew that the Big Head was thinking of someone once more.
They had to maintain absolute silence. Otherwise, the Big Head would fly into a rage.
If everyone were to fly into a rage, things would be dire. They would at least be starving for a couple of days.
"Come, let's go rob." After a long time, Sha Dulong finally snapped back to his senses. He opened up his palms and made the robbery sound so dignified, as though there was nothing wrong with it at all.
For the Fourteen Sand Bandits, only when they were robbing could they feel the meaning of their existence.
...
"Why aren't the Fourteen Sand Dao Kings here yet?"
A convoy stopped in the middle of the desert. The leading convoy had a bright flag. If the residents of the Barren City were to catch sight of it, they would naturally recognize it.
This was the flag of a trading company in the Barren City.
At that moment, a middle-aged man walked down from the leading carriage. "Still not here?"
"Not yet," the servant who had been watching shook his head.
The middle-aged man looked at the desolate desert. Then, he looked into the distance. A few cars appeared one after another.
"I didn't expect my luck to be so bad this time. There are actually so many caravans." The middle-aged man said in a very displeased manner, as if he was very dissatisfied that someone had come to rob them.
If someone who didn't know about the situation here passed by, they would definitely be extremely shocked.
Now, even the targets of robbery were queuing up. Could it be that the world had changed?
When the carriages arrived, the middle-aged man frowned unhappily. He had seen his competitors.
Not only in the industry, but also in this field. Damn it.
"Oh, Shopkeeper Wang is here too." A chubby middle-aged man said with a smile from the carriages coming from afar.
"Shopkeeper Li, you were the one who was robbed last time. Could it be that you want to rob me again this time?" Shopkeeper Wang said with a displeased expression.
"Shopkeeper Wang, that's where you're wrong. Capable people are robbed. Furthermore, you're not the only one who's waiting to be robbed." Shopkeeper Li replied.
"Hmph."
They were all merchants of the Barren City. In the past, caravans would have to travel through mountains and rivers to other cities, passing through many dangerous places.
Even though they had hired quite a number of powerful martial artists, four out of ten times, they would fail at the last step. For them, that was a huge blow.
But now, things were different. Any caravan that the Fourteen Sand Bandits took a liking to would have a smooth journey. Along the way, they would arrive at their destination safely.
For the caravans of the Barren City to be chosen by the Fourteen Sand Bandits, it was a huge stroke of luck.
Just then, the skies were filled with yellow sand and dust.
"They're here …! They're here …!"
All the caravans looked into the distance with a look of anticipation.
If they didn't get chosen this time around, they could only wait for the next time around.
To them, the Fourteen Sand Bandits were a guarantee of their credibility.
In the past, they had paid a huge sum of money to have the Fourteen Sand Bandits escort them.
But to Sha Dulong and the others, this was an insult to their profession as bandits. Hence, they rejected it decisively.
…
"Boss, there are so many caravans this time around. Which one should we rob?" For some of the older members of the party, this was a headache.
As for some of the newbies, they were equally stumped by this situation.
To think that being a bandit would be this easy!
One by one, the caravans rushed to the entrance, afraid that they wouldn't be robbed.
Sha Dulong was long used to situations like this, "We'll follow the will of the Heavens."
All of a sudden, a long howl rang out. Sha Dulong leaped up with a majestic stance.
"Robbery …!"
This howl of robbery was enough to shock the entire world and make the gods and ghosts weep. It was truly admirable.
"The bandits are here …! The bandits are here!"
At this moment, countless caravans started screaming out in panic. The entire place was shrouded in a fearful atmosphere.
Some of them had come to the Barren City from other cities to retrieve their goods. Now that they had gotten their goods, they were preparing to head back. When they heard the rumors about the Fourteen Sand Bandits, they decided to come and try their luck.
But looking at the looks of fear on the faces of these caravans, they were curious as well.
"Fourteen Sand Dao Kings, please come and rob me! I'm willing to pay a certain amount of money!" The newly arrived caravan yelled out.
As for the surrounding caravans who were enjoying themselves, they looked at this caravan as though they were looking at idiots the moment they heard the shouts of this caravan.
"This caravan must be new, right?"
"To think that they would dare to say such humiliating words!"
"That's right! Those who don't know better can't be blamed! Aren't these words a blatant humiliation to the Fourteen Sand Bandits?"
…
"Hmph! The Fourteen Sand Bandits have never robbed before! They don't fear our caravans! Men, chase them away!" The moment Sha Dulong heard these words, his face changed into one of rage. The might of the Fourteen Sand Bandits was unparalleled, and they ruled over a radius of tens of thousands of miles. To think that there would be a caravan that didn't fear them at all! This was a complete humiliation to them!
"Yes!"
"What's going on?"
The newly arrived caravan was stumped, not knowing what was going on.
"This is a robbery! Men on the left, women on the right! Transvestites in the middle! We, the Fourteen Sand Bandits, will only rob you of your riches, not your bodies, and not your lives! But, if you don't behave, don't blame us for being merciless!" Sha Dulong hollered out as his aura shrouded everyone present.
"Spare me! Spare me!"
"Don't rob me!"
Even though these experienced caravans were begging for mercy, their actions weren't slow at all as they stood in line.
Men on the left, women on the right, transvestites in the middle. But up till now, they had never seen a transvestite before.
"Boss, there's someone standing in the middle!" Suddenly, a loud shout rang out.
Sha Dulong's face changed as he rushed forth.
Shopkeeper Li's face was filled with fear right now. However, he still stood up straight, "Don't kill me! Don't kill me!"
"Hmph, don't worry. We, the Fourteen Sand Bandits, are professional people. We won't kill you, nor will we rob you of your goods. Place all your valuables into that little sack." Sha Dulong said sternly.
"Yes, yes …!" Shopkeeper Li's heart leaped with joy. His hands did not stop moving as he instructed his men to place all their valuables into that sack.
Looking at how the Fourteen Sand Bandits had robbed Shopkeeper Li, the surrounding caravans were exasperated. To think that they wouldn't be fancied once more!
Shopkeeper Wang was filled with regret. How could things have turned out like this? Especially when he caught sight of the gleeful look on Shopkeeper Li's face, he was even angrier than ever.
BOOM!
Just then, the entire ground began to tremble.
In the distance, the yellow sands were rumbling.
"Boss, the Barren City's army is here!"
"Yes, the Barren City's army is here? Everyone, prepare for battle! "Sha Dulong shouted.
"Yes!"
