Sometimes, such bandits would even deliberately loot the Yin Yang Sect's swift boats.
Due to the fear of these kinds of bandits, the Yin Yang Sect elder standing at the front of the swift boat would steer the swift boat to avoid a straight line every once in a while.
Because of this, their safety was greatly improved.
Of course, this did not mean that they were absolutely safe.
Sometimes, if they were unlucky, anything could happen to them.
Time passed by quietly.
Another half a month had passed, and the swift boat was already halfway through its journey. It would only take another half a month to reach the Inner Land.
The two Yin Yang Sect elders breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that they had successfully completed half of the journey.
However, before they could catch their breaths, horror dawned on their faces as they looked in the direction of the swift boat in unison.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
…
An ear-piercing whistling sound came from the front of the swift boat, and it was getting closer and closer.
This was also the reason why the two Yin Yang Sect elders' faces turned pale.
"Bandits!"
In a flash of lightning, the two Yin Yang Sect elders looked at each other and spat out the two words in unison.
They did not deliberately suppress their voices, so it was exceptionally loud in this quiet swift boat. In an instant, more than half of the people were awakened.
After these people were awakened, they were still a little confused at first. However, when they regained their senses, horror dawned on them one after another. "What?! B-Bandits?! "
Bandits!
They had encountered bandits on the Ruo Shui River?
They had heard of the bandits on the Ruo Shui River before. They were far more powerful than the ordinary bandits in the Inner Land and Outer Land. Some of them were even at the Martial Monarch Stage!
Very soon, the people who had regained their senses looked at the front of the swift boat. They could see a few black dots that were getting bigger and bigger as they rushed towards them.
"Huh?"
Xiong Quan was also awakened by the noise. When he realized what was happening, his face turned grave.
"We're on the Yin Yang Sect's swift boat. The bandits shouldn't dare to provoke us, right?"
"The two elders are at the Martial Monarch Stage. Even if they provoke us, we might not be the ones at a disadvantage."
"It's not easy for us to cross the Ruo Shui River. It's considered a success for us to encounter bandits."
…
Many people whispered to each other.
These people were all people who were crossing the Ruo Shui River on the swift boat for the first time. They were full of confidence in the two Yin Yang Sect elders and did not think that anything would happen to them.
Now, they were looking forward to the scene of the two Yin Yang Sect elders killing the bandits and forcing them to retreat.
"Humph! You guys are really naive. "
Hearing the words of these 'hotheads', some people, who had taken flying boats to cross the Ruo Shui River more than once, snorted coldly and said, "Didn't you see the change in the expressions of the two Elders? Do you think those bandits won't be able to tell that the flying boat we're on belongs to the Yin Yang Sect? "
"The bandits of the Ruo Shui River are all cunning … If they weren't confident, do you think they would make a move?"
As soon as this person finished speaking, everyone who had woken up on the swift boat looked at the two Yin Yang Sect elders in unison.
Shua! Shua! Shua!
…
When they saw the ugly faces of the two Yin Yang Sect elders, their expressions changed again. They realized that the bandits in front of the flying boat were indeed hostile.
"Even the expressions of the two Yin Yang Sect elders changed. It's obvious that they don't have the confidence to deal with these bandits … What should we do?"
"I don't want to die! I don't want to die! "
"Why did I want to go to the Inner Land for no reason? Look at it now! I'm going to lose my life here!"
…
At once, the entire swift boat was in chaos. Most of the people's expressions changed drastically as fear filled their eyes. It was as if doomsday had arrived.
In such a noisy environment, even those who were focused on cultivating would be woken up by the noise.
Among them were Duan Lingtian, Feng Tianwu, and the old man who was sitting not far away from Duan Lingtian. It was the old man who had kindly warned Duan Lingtian at the Ruo Shui River.
"Bandits? Even the two Yin Yang Sect elders don't have the confidence to deal with them? "
Soon, the group of people who had just woken up, including Duan Lingtian, learned about the dangerous situation they were in.
"Little brother, it seems like we're going to die here today."
The old man looked at Duan Lingtian and said with a long face.
A gleam flashed across Duan Lingtian's eyes. He did not say anything as he looked at the front of the swift boat immediately.
With just a glance, he saw seven small swift boats whizzing towards them. They arrived at the front, back, and sides of their swift boat, surrounding them completely.
"Friends from Yin Yang Sect, listen up! Stop the swift boat immediately! Otherwise, we'll destroy your boat and kill you! "
At this moment, a loud voice resonated from the small swift boat in front of the swift boat. The voice was filled with coldness as though it came from an ice cave. It made one's heart palpitate.
"No! No! "
At once, the Yin Yang Sect's swift boat fell into chaos again.
"Hmph!"
A cold snort resonated and suppressed the noise. It was the Yin Yang Sect elder in front of the swift boat. He snorted and began to control the swift boat at the same time.
After a while, the swift boat began to decelerate until it came to a stop.
The swift boat that had just come to a stop began to free-fall again. It fell from the sky and shocked many people on the swift boat so much that their faces changed drastically.
It was only when the swift boat stopped falling that their faces relaxed.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
…
After the swift boat came to a stop, a series of swift whizzing sounds resonated in the air. Numerous figures appeared at the front, back, and sides of the swift boat. It was a group of people dressed in black.
Among these people, there were old men and middle-aged men.
"It's you guys again!"
Just when the people on the swift boat were on high alert, the two Yin Yang Sect elders on the swift boat cried out in shock.
The moment the two Yin Yang Sect elders' words left their mouth, many people on the swift boat heaved a sigh of relief.
Based on the words of the two Yin Yang Sect elders, it was obvious that they had encountered these bandits before. Since the two Yin Yang Sect elders were still alive, it meant that these bandits did not have the ability to kill them.
Duan Lingtian raised his eyebrows and watched the scene before him with interest.
He was also curious.
How did these two Yin Yang Sect elders know this group of bandits?
"Elders, we meet again after half a year … I must say that we're really fated."
Among the group of bandits standing at the edge of the swift boat, an old man in black who stood at the front of the swift boat looked at the two Yin Yang Sect elders and smiled faintly.
"Who's fated with you?!"
The two Yin Yang Sect elders' faces turned pale.
"Half a year ago, the three of us fought with the two of you. Although we were able to suppress the two of you, if this continued, even if we managed to kill the two of you, we would've suffered some losses as well."
As if he could see the confusion on the people on the Yin Yang Sect's swift boat, the old man in black said nonchalantly, "That time, we came to an agreement. Give us 1,000 high-grade Origin Stones, and we'll leave on our own.
This time, I won't ask for too much … It's still 1,000 high-grade Origin Stones. What do you think? "
After the old man in black finished speaking, he looked at the two Yin Yang Sect elders.
At this moment, the people finally understood why the two Yin Yang Sect elders did not die when they encountered these bandits in the past.
It was because they had paid the toll.
As if they were agreeing with the words of the old man in black, the other two old men beside him suddenly released two powerful auras. It was so oppressive that most of the people on the swift boat felt suffocated.
"Martial Monarch powerhouse!"
At this moment, other than Duan Lingtian and Feng Tianwu, everyone on the swift boat had a change of expression.
"Not only that, he's not an ordinary Martial Monarch powerhouse!"
Among the people on the swift boat, there was no lack of insightful people. Their faces were extremely pale.
The two Yin Yang Sect elders' faces turned even paler. However, they did not reply to the bandit leader's words. Instead, their eyes landed on the back of the swift boat in unison.
To be more precise, their eyes landed on a purple-clad young man.
Duan Lingtian!
At this moment, the bandit leader also looked at Duan Lingtian with great interest. A gleam flashed across his eyes.
"Why are the two elders looking at me? Since we can spend money to avoid disaster, why do we have to fight to the death? "
Seeing the two Yin Yang Sect elders looking at him, Duan Lingtian grinned. "There are about seventy of us in this group. Each of us paid 30 high-grade Origin Stones to ride on this swift boat. In total, it's 2,000 high-grade Origin Stones."
"1,000 high-grade Origin Stones is only half of what you've collected this time."
Duan Lingtian finished his sentence in one breath.
Duan Lingtian's words were approved by most of the people on the swift boat. They nodded in agreement.
"You … You …"
The two Yin Yang Sect elders originally wanted to discuss with Duan Lingtian to see if they could deal with this group of bandits together. However, they did not expect Duan Lingtian to say such a thing. They were so angry that their lungs were about to explode.
Although they did not think that Duan Lingtian's group was more powerful than them.
However, since Duan Lingtian's group had the ability to destroy the Gold-Devouring Organization, they might be able to suppress this group of bandits if they joined forces with them.
What they did not expect was that Duan Lingtian would be so spineless.
The bandit leader originally had a fearful expression as he looked at Duan Ling Tian.
At such a critical moment, the two Yin Yang Sect elders had their eyes on him. He must not be a simple person.
However, when he heard Duan Lingtian's words, he could not help but laugh out loud.
"Haha … This little brother is really tactful! As the saying goes, 'A wise man submits to circumstances'. Both elders should learn from this little brother. "
When the bandit leader reached the end of his sentence, he stared at the two Yin Yang Sect elders deeply.
The two of them were so angry that they wanted to vomit blood!
"Since I'm so tactful, shouldn't you give us a discount? For example, how about 50 high-grade Origin Stones less? "
Duan Lingtian looked at the bandit leader and asked with a smile.
"How dare you!"
At once, many of the bandits' faces changed as they shouted angrily, "Boy, how dare you bargain with our leader … Are you tired of living?"
Just when the group of bandits was getting agitated, the bandit leader raised his hand and silenced them.
"Interesting, interesting."
The bandit leader and Duan Lingtian looked at each other for a while. The smile that had disappeared from his face reappeared again. "Then, I'll give you face and charge you 50 high-grade Origin Stones less!"
"Thank you."
