At the same time, the commoners looked at Hu Lai with hostility.
No matter what, Hu Lai's exposure of the dark cloud under the Taoist priest was not good for their safety at all.
If the Taoist priest was a fake, their lives would be in danger!
Feng Ying was in a difficult position.
However, she did not believe that Hu Lai was with the bandits. Hence, she got rid of Yun Ge and ran to Hu Lai's side. "Sister Hu Lai, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Hu Lai seemed to realize that he had said too much. He quickly covered his mouth and said embarrassedly, "Sister Feng Ying, I didn't mean it. I just saw that the dark cloud under the Taoist priest seemed to have wings flapping, so I made a wild guess. I didn't expect that there was really something wrong with the dark cloud. It's my fault, my fault, hehe."
The bandits were not in the mood to pay attention to the conversation between Hu Lai and Feng Ying. At this moment, under the leadership of the bandit leader, they were shouting at the Heaven-Crippling Taoist priest in the air.
"Stupid Taoist priest, come down if you dare!"
"Pretentious guy, you made me think that I had met an immortal. I almost knelt down in front of you!"
"If you don't f * cking come down, I'll shoot you down with arrows!"
The Heaven-Crippling Taoist priest seemed to be infuriated by the bandits' roars below!
He swung the red horsetail whisk in his hand and shouted, "How dare you! How dare you insult me! You deserve to die! If I don't punish you, do you think that I'm easy to bully? Humph! "
After a cold snort, thunder and lightning suddenly flashed in the dark cloud under the Heaven-Crippling Taoist. Finally, the thunder and lightning converged into a bolt of lightning as thick as an arm. Immediately, a bandit who took out a bow and arrow was struck into a charred corpse!
When the bandits saw that their companion's corpse was still emitting black smoke, they broke out in a cold sweat.
Zhao Gang and the rest were overjoyed when they saw this!
The commoners immediately knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing. "Thank you, Taoist priest, for saving us!"
Feng Ying was afraid that the lightning bolt would scare the child in Hu Lai's belly. So, she quickly pulled Hu Lai back and knelt down as well.
Hu Lai was also shocked. He knelt down with Feng Ying, but his eyes never left the Crippled Daoist.
Fortunately, the Crippled Taoist Priest's move had completely subdued the bandits. Even the bandit leader panicked and stood there, not knowing what to do.
Tian Can glanced at the bandit leader with satisfaction before continuing, "Brother, the Poor Way believes that the Heavens are benevolent and that these commoners are innocent. In the opinion of the Poor Way, why don't we let them go?"
What do you think?
What else could they do?
Even if all the bandits worked together, they wouldn't be a match for this strange Daoist priest!
Although the bandit leader was extremely disappointed, he had no choice but to lower his head at this moment.
Just as he was about to agree and leave with his men, he suddenly heard a voice from the crowd.
"Yo, Taoist Priest Tian Can, with you here, I think these bandits wouldn't dare to do anything to us commoners no matter how bold they are.
Us commoners have never interacted with the legendary Daoist Master. Since we're fated to meet today, why don't we ask Daoist Master to let these bandits treat us to a big meal as an apology to us commoners? It's also a good opportunity for us commoners to interact with the Taoist priest for a while. It'll be good for us to get some of the Taoist priest's immortal aura! "
The bandit leader's eyes lit up when he heard this. He quickly nodded and agreed, "That's right, Taoist Priest Tian Can. We've just offended you and shouldn't make things difficult for the commoners. I hope you'll give us some face and let us commoners find a chance to treat you to a good meal. I hope you won't reject us!"
As for Zhao Gang and the rest, they originally wanted to leave this place as soon as possible. However, after witnessing the power of the Crippled Daoist Priest, their hearts were set. At the same time, they wanted to take this opportunity to get closer to the legendary Taoist priest. Who knows, they might get some great opportunity!
Therefore, the commoners pleaded in unison, "Please allow us to do so, Taoist priest!"
The Crippled Daoist Priest was obviously in a dilemma. However, after seeing the questioning look from the bandit leader, he had no choice but to nod and say, "Since that's the case, fine. I'll go with you."
The bandit leader was overjoyed when he heard this. He quickly got up and led the way with his men. Behind him, Zhao Gang and the rest of the commoners followed closely.
The Crippled Daoist Priest was still sitting on the dark cloud, floating above the bandit leader.
After walking for more than half a day, it was almost midnight when the group finally entered a small mountain stronghold.
"The Second Leader is back!"
"Haha! There are so many people. It seems that the Second Leader has gained a lot this time!"
"Hurry up and open the door. Put those people in cages. Start skinning them at dawn. Set up the pots and prepare the food!"
Suddenly, the village was in a mess.
However, when they opened the door, they found the bandit leader looking defeated. On the contrary, the commoners who were treated as prey were all overjoyed, as if they had returned home.
What was going on?
"What's wrong with you, Second Leader?"
The bandit who opened the door asked in confusion.
Slap!
The bandit leader slapped him and roared angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? Hurry up and prepare the barbecue to entertain the guests behind us! "
The bandit who was slapped looked at the uncles behind him with grievance. Although he was very confused, he did not dare to neglect. He quickly ordered the others to prepare the barbecue.
In the huge dining hall, the commoners were happily sitting together, chatting and laughing. These commoners had walked for nearly a day and a night, and along the way, they had been frightened. In the end, it was a false alarm. Now, they had become the guests of honor of a group of bandits. No matter how they thought about it, it was inconceivable.
Of course, all this was thanks to the mysterious Crippled Daoist Priest. Otherwise, most of them would have been killed by him!
Soon, the fragrant barbecued meat was ready. More than 20 bandits put on a long face and placed a large pot of barbecued meat in front of each table of people.
The commoners had been hungry for a long time. The barbecue in front of them was almost all the rare meat of the exotic beasts. Many of these commoners had never enjoyed such high treatment. Without being told, they immediately stretched out their claws and began to eat.
The bandit leader curled his lips and walked out of the restaurant. He looked at the Crippled Daoist Priest, who was floating in the air outside. He cupped his hands respectfully and said, "Please come in and have a rest."
"Okay."
The Crippled Daoist Priest nodded and waved his horsetail whisk. The dark cloud under him immediately dispersed.
