Wang Daoyuan followed the five Red Beard Bandits and walked towards the northwest for over two hundred li before entering Mount Huiyan.
Finally, the five of them arrived at a small valley.
He used the Earth Escape Technique and followed them from a distance.
There were thirty to forty people in the valley. The weakest of them was at the middle stage of Qi Disciple while the strongest were three at the peak stage of Qi Disciple.
The five scouting cultivators arrived at the valley and reported the situation to the three peak stage Qi Disciple cultivators.
Wang Daoyuan moved to a distance of ten zhang away from them and hid under the ground.
In order to avoid alerting the enemy, he did not dare to release his spiritual sense and could only rely on his ears to listen.
He only heard one person ask: "What's the situation with the mine?"
Another person replied: "When we return, there's only one middle stage Qi Disciple cultivator guarding the mine. We just don't know which family's property it is."
The person who asked the question sneered: "The clans of Shannan have been causing a ruckus recently. The First Master and Second Master have us brothers come here to fish in troubled waters.
We don't care whose property it is. We'll rob whatever we see and kill whoever we see. After robbing for ten days to half a month, we'll quickly run.
The two masters have said that whoever gets the most loot will get to keep it. Whoever gets the most loot will be heavily rewarded by the masters. "
The group of people became excited and let out strange cries.
Hearing their words, Wang Daoyuan's killing intent was set.
If these Red Beard Bandits were only here to rob the mine, then it wouldn't matter. He could withdraw his people and let them rob as they liked.
A low-grade cinnabar mine was only worth a few spirit stones.
It was not worth it to start a war with the Red Beard Bandits for it.
However, if they wanted to rob nearby for ten days to half a month, it would be enough for them to wreak havoc in all the territories to the west of Jadespring Peak.
There were many ordinary clansmen nearby. How could he allow them to wreak havoc?
If he pretended to be a Liang clansman and only wore a Daoist robe, it would be too obvious.
If he wanted to put on a show, he had to put on the Liang clan's clothes and disguise himself as a Liang clansman. He also had to use methods similar to the Liang clan's inheritance.
The Liang clan's ancestor was a loose cultivator. He mainly cultivated wood-attribute techniques and had a variety of techniques. He had learned quite a bit of controlling plants, refining corpses and poisoning.
Wang Daoyuan hadn't dabbled in the path of refining corpses, but controlling plants and poisoning were still very simple.
When he was in the Green Willow State, he would go into the mountains to search for spirit items. He would often find some valuable spirit plants that he could not use for the time being.
He had collected some seeds of these spiritual plants for future use. Now, they could finally be put to good use.
Using wood attribute spiritual energy to stimulate the growth of spirit plant seeds and relying on spirit plants to defend against enemies was a common tactic used by wood attribute cultivators.
Not all spirit plants could use spirit energy to defend against enemies. Only a few could.
He just so happened to have a spirit plant that was especially suitable for defending against enemies, called the Sawtooth Vine.
The leaves of the Sawtooth Vine were serrated and did not have a leaf stalk. The leaves were directly attached to the vines, and each vine seemed to have grown a few hacksaws.
The leaves were extremely hard and the edges were very sharp.
Once a human cultivator was bound by the Sawtooth Vines, without the protection of a defensive magic artifact, they would definitely be covered in wounds.
Furthermore, the Sawtooth Vines were poisonous and could make people feel weak all over.
He used the Earth Escape Technique and buried the seeds of the Sawtooth Vine near this group of people.
When he was burying the seeds, he discovered that on the west side of the valley, about a hundred zhang away from the group, there were two people.
These two people were only at the initial stage of Qi Disciple. They seemed to be preparing food.
Wang Daoyuan laughed in his heart: "I was just worrying about how to leave them alive. Here they are.
Normal peak stage Qi Disciple cultivators can't use their spiritual sense to detect more than a hundred zhang away. It wouldn't be suspicious if I let them go. "
Directly killing everyone was not advisable. The Red Beard Bandits had come for revenge, but without a target, they would kill indiscriminately. The Wang family would be the first to bear the brunt.
After burying the seeds of the Sawtooth Vine, he used the rank one wood attribute spell — — Entanglement Technique.
The seeds buried underground encountered the wood attribute spiritual energy with vitality and quickly grew.
This group of Red Beard Bandits was still laughing when they were suddenly tied up. They were completely unprepared.
The Sawtooth Vine was not to be trifled with. It instantly cut through their skin.
The group of people struggled a few times before collapsing powerlessly.
They wanted to retaliate but had no strength. They could only curse loudly.
Wang Daoyuan sneered: "Reckless Red Beard Bandits, daring to extend their claws to the southern part of the mountain."
He used the Wood Thorn Technique to kill this group of people one by one.
Then he used the Fireball Talisman to burn the corpses and the Sawtooth Vine, destroying all traces.
After burning them, he used the Immaculate Technique several times to clean up all the ashes.
The two initial stage Qi Disciple cultivators had long been scared out of their wits. They used the Earth Escape Talisman to escape.
Wang Daoyuan walked over and cleaned up all traces of their food preparation.
There were witnesses who had escaped, so there was no need to leave any traces. The more carefully he cleaned up the traces, the less likely it was that someone had framed him.
In order to prevent others from seeing him, he did not directly return to Jade Spring Peak after leaving the valley. Instead, he went straight south.
He changed into a loose cultivator's outfit and followed the border of the Meng family's territory south. He arrived at Clear Glass Market and returned to Jade Spring Peak.
This matter concerned the survival of the family, so he could not be careless.
He called the family head, Twelfth Uncle, and Ninth Uncle together and told them about this matter.
The three of them agreed with his decision. There was no good way to deal with this matter, and they could not report it to the Underworld Sect.
Otherwise, it would be easy for others to link the killing of the Red Beard Bandits to the Wang family.
Although there was no evidence, the Red Beard Bandits had never considered evidence.
The Wang family adjusted the focus of their defense. Wang Shouye was in charge of the south, while the family head was in charge of the north. The focus was on the northwest.
Taigong continued to oversee Jade Spring Peak, supporting the northwest at any time.
The others were completely unaware of this matter, so there were no changes to the defense arrangements.
Wang Daoyuan was also forced to stay at Jade Spring Peak to avoid being killed by the Red Beard Bandits.
After all, the leader of the Red Beard Bandits might be a Zifu Disciple. If he ran into him, he would be killed instantly.
He would not just wait. He released the Golden-Winged Goshawk to patrol the western part of Jade Spring Peak.
The reason why he did not release the Soulchasing Bees was mainly because they needed to be close to the enemy to scout.
If the leader of the Red Beard Bandits was a Zifu Disciple, the Soulchasing Bees would not be able to escape his spiritual sense.
However, the Golden-Winged Goshawk was different. It could fly high in the sky and see the situation two to three hundred kilometers away.
It only needed to fly less than a hundred kilometers west of Jade Spring Peak to have a panoramic view of the western part of the Wang family's territory.
Even a Zifu Disciple would not be able to clearly see an eagle with a wingspan of less than three meters from two to three hundred kilometers away. Their spiritual sense would not be able to reach that far.
Three days later, the Golden-Winged Goshawk reported that it had discovered two hundred people five hundred kilometers west of Jade Spring Peak. They were heading southeast.
This group of people did not attack the properties of the Wang and Meng Clans. Instead, they headed southeast along the border between the Wang and Meng Clans.
The southeast was the territory of the Liang Clan.
Wang Daoyuan led the Golden-Winged Goshawk and immediately reported the situation to the family head.
When they arrived at the family head's residence, Wang Zhian saw the Golden-Winged Goshawk perched on his shoulder and asked, "When did you get such a good thing?"
Wang Daoyuan hurriedly said, "Don't worry about it. I just released it and had it monitor the situation in the western part of the Wang family's territory.
It reported that two hundred people came out of Mount Huiyan and headed southeast along the border between our Wang and Meng Clans. "
