Wang Zhian smiled. "They're going to take revenge on the Liang Clan.
According to the Netherworld Sect's rules, if a hostile force attacks a subordinate force of the Netherworld Sect, the nearby clans have to help.
We won't get involved in this matter. Shouye and I will go to the northeast corner of the clan for a stroll. We can find an excuse to go later.
You and Grand Elder will stay at Jade Spring Peak and pretend you don't know about the Red Beard Bandits.
When Elder Zhou of Clear Glass Market brings reinforcements to the Liang Clan, or when the Red Beard Bandits make a move against our Wang Clan, inform me. "
After Wang Daoyuan agreed, Wang Zhian directly rode his sword towards the northeast.
He told Taigong and Ninth Granduncle about this matter, then returned to his cave.
He released Jin Yi and continued to monitor the Red Beard Bandits' movements. He had nothing to do, so he watered the spirit plants in front of his cave.
When he was sixteen, he got seeds from Twelfth Uncle and casually scattered them around his cave. He ignored them for more than twenty years.
He had to constantly monitor the Red Beard Bandits' movements. He couldn't cultivate, concoct pills, or craft talismans. He could only find other things to do.
Jin Yi was extremely busy. He flew in and out continuously, monitoring the Red Beard Bandits' movements and reporting back to Wang Daoyuan.
Yun Yi also wanted to come out and have some fun. Unfortunately, his five to six meter long fat body was too easy to discover.
In addition, his eyesight and flying speed were far inferior to Jin Yi's. He really wasn't suitable for this job.
Eight hours later, Jin Yi reported that the Red Beard Bandits had wiped out the Liang Clan's properties west of Clear Glass River. They began to cross Clear Glass River and attack the Liang Clan's core properties.
The Liang Clan's ancestor, Liang Liang, wasn't at Clear Cloud Peak. Only Foundation Establishment cultivators were there.
Once the Red Beard Bandits crossed the river, six Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Liang Clan flew out from Clear Cloud Peak to stop them.
Five Foundation Establishment cultivators also flew out from the Red Beard Bandits' troops to pin down the Liang Clan's Foundation Establishment cultivators.
Jin Yi only knew that those who could fly were stronger than him. He couldn't determine the battle situation from two to three hundred miles away.
Wang Daoyuan was rather surprised. Rumor had it that the Red Beard Bandits only had two Foundation Establishment cultivators, but five of them suddenly appeared.
However, the two leaders of the Crimson Beard Bandits shouldn't be in the Violet Palace Realm. Otherwise, the Liang Clan would be guarding Blue Cloud Peak to the death instead of coming out to fight.
After another two hours, Jin Yi reported that a few people had flown over from the south to help the Liang Family fight the Red Beard Bandits.
Wang Daoyuan immediately sent a message to the Patriarch. The cultivators of the Netherworld Sect in Clear Glass City had made their move.
Not long after, the Great Elder received a message from Elder Zhou, ordering the Wang Family to send people to surround and annihilate the Red Beard Bandits.
Otherwise, he would be charged with collusion with the enemy.
After receiving the letter, the Wang Clan naturally didn't dare to be negligent.
Grandfather Wang Daoyuan rode on his sword and rushed towards the battlefield. However, his flying speed was a little slow, even slower than Wang Daoyuan when he used a low-grade Grade Two Divine Travel Talisman.
At this rate, they might not even be able to reach the battlefield in four hours.
Wang Daoyuan didn't dare to be negligent. He immediately summoned the dozen or so late-stage Qi Refinement disciples who had stayed at Jade Spring Peak and rushed to the battlefield on the spirit ship.
As the spirit ship flowed down the river, its speed wasn't too bad. There was no need to waste any spiritual power to drive it. It would take about a day to reach the battlefield.
The disciples on the ship chatted and laughed as if they were celebrating the new year.
As the Patriarch of the Wang Clan, Wang Daoyuan naturally had to be more serious. He held back his laughter and reprimanded with a straight face, "Be more serious. We're going to support the Liang Family, not to celebrate."
After the spirit ship traveled twenty to thirty kilometers, the Patriarch and the Twelfth Uncle flew over on their swords.
The Twelfth Uncle even lowered his altitude to greet the people on the spirit ship.
However, the two of them were flying at an extremely slow speed. They weren't even as fast as Wang Daoyuan's Cloud Mist Escape.
Four hours later, the spirit ship was already a hundred kilometers away from Jade Spring Peak.
Grandfather Wang Jize sent a message saying that he had already rushed to the battlefield. The Red Beard Bandits were about to escape, so he asked Wang Daoyuan to bring the Wang Clan disciples over as quickly as possible.
Wang Daoyuan had been waiting for this news. He immediately shouted, "Full speed ahead. The Red Beard Bandits are about to escape."
The Wang Clan members took turns to drive the spirit ship. In two hours, they had traveled more than a hundred and fifty kilometers.
At this moment, Grandfather Wang Jize sent a message saying that the Red Beard Bandits had already started to escape in the northwest direction.
Wang Daoyuan naturally understood what this meant. He ordered the Wang Clan disciples on the spirit ship to go ashore. Then, he leisurely rushed towards the west.
Not long after, he saw more than ten Foundation Building cultivators fighting a great battle about twenty or so kilometers ahead.
The five Foundation Building cultivators had red beards and red hair. Among them, two of them had beards and hair that were like raging flames. They should be the two leaders of the legendary Red Beard Bandits.
These two people were both at the peak stage of the Foundation Building realm. Working together, they were able to resist six Foundation Building cultivators from the Liang Clan.
The Foundation Building cultivators who came from Clear Glass Market as reinforcements, as well as those from the surrounding clans who came to help, didn't put in any effort.
They rode on their flying swords and watched the show from the sky. After half a day, they would throw out spells as a show of strength.
The other three Foundation Building cultivators from the Red Beard Bandits were able to block more than ten Foundation Building cultivators. Even they themselves didn't dare to believe it.
Wang Daoyuan still wanted to watch the show, but one of the Clear Glass Market's Foundation Building cultivators ordered, "Aura Refining cultivators, chase after the fleeing Red Beard Bandits."
He cupped his fists and said, "Understood."
Then, he led more than ten of his clansmen. Using the standard speed of a late-stage Aura Refining cultivator, they chased in the northwest direction in an orderly manner.
On the way, they even met Aura Refining cultivators from other clans. Everyone greeted each other cordially and slowly chased after the Red Beard Bandits.
After a day of great battle, the Red Beard Bandits lost more than thirty Aura Refining cultivators. Moreover, all of them were killed by the Liang Clan's Foundation Building cultivators. The clans that came to help all killed zero enemies and suffered zero casualties.
Of the five Foundation Building cultivators, one survived. Three were heavily injured and two were lightly injured.
The Red Beard Bandits didn't suffer heavy losses. Furthermore, they managed to steal quite a lot of good stuff.
The Foundation Building cultivators from other clans who came to help held back their laughter and consoled the Liang Clan's Patriarch.
Afterwards, they all returned to their clans, ending this relaxed and joyful battle.
In this battle, the Liang Clan lost seven or eight of their properties. More than ten Aura Refining cultivators died in battle.
Originally, they had less than a hundred cultivators. This time, they lost almost one-fifth of their clansmen.
The Liang Clan didn't have many mortals. Most of them lived near Clear Sky Peak, so they weren't hit by the shockwaves.
The six Foundation Building cultivators were all injured. Three of them were heavily injured. The one with the most serious injury might not be able to improve his cultivation anymore.
According to the Red Beard Bandits captured by the Liang Clan, they wanted to take advantage of the chaos in the north of Clear Li County.
In the end, dozens of people in the vanguard were killed by cultivators suspected to be from the Liang Clan. Only two chefs escaped. The five heads of the clans brought their elite subordinates to take revenge.
Knowing that the Red Beard Bandits were caused by the chaos of the clans, the Netherworld Sect naturally couldn't sit by and do nothing.
The Netherworld Sect issued an order. If itinerant cultivators dared to attack the properties of their clans again, they would be pursued to the end.
Once the order was issued, the territories of the Wang, Yang and Meng Clans were finally peaceful. The Meng Clan became the biggest beneficiary.
During this period of time, the Yang Clan dealt with the itinerant cultivators' sneak attacks very easily. The Wang Clan also handled it with ease. Only the Meng Clan was in dire straits and suffered many losses.
The Meng Clan's Grand Elder Meng Qingshan didn't have many years left to live. If this continued, the Meng Clan might really collapse.
After that, the Netherworld Sect gave the Liang Clan another blow.
In order to boost morale, the Netherworld Sect wantonly announced that the Liang Clan's cultivators had killed the vanguard of the Red Beard Bandits. They even gave the Liang Clan a lot of rewards.
The Liang Clan was also stunned. They didn't even know who did it, but they were recognized as heroes.
How was this a reward? It was clearly a basin of sh * t that was forcefully placed on their heads.
The Netherworld Sect recognized that the Liang Clan had killed dozens of Red Beard Bandits. They couldn't deny it even if they wanted to.
In the future, the Red Beard Bandits would be at odds with the Liang Clan. If they didn't destroy the Liang Clan, where would the Red Beard Bandits put their face?
Wang Daoyuan was also relieved. No one would investigate the matter of him impersonating a Liang Clan cultivator and killing the Red Beard Bandits.
What did the Liang Clan killing the Red Beard Bandits have to do with Wang Daoyuan?
