According to the information obtained by the Underworld Sect, the Red Beard Bandits' largest lair was located in a small valley two thousand kilometers northwest of Gold Goose City.
The valley was shaped like a gourd. It was wide at both ends and narrow in the middle, hence its name.
The Gourd Valley was two thousand kilometers away from the southern foot of Mount Huiyan and seven to eight hundred kilometers away from the northern foot of Mount Huiyan. The Red Beard Bandits usually pillaged the northern foot of the mountain.
The thirty or so cultivators that exterminated the Red Beard Bandits had to travel eight thousand kilometers from Clear Glass Market to reach the Gourd Valley.
Although there were many Red Beard Bandits' lairs, they weren't interested in attacking them one by one. Instead, they went straight for the Gourd Valley.
The core members of the Red Beard Bandits were the First Master and Second Master. The two of them were in the Gourd Valley.
According to the plan, the Liang Clan and their close clans would send a total of eight Foundation Establishment cultivators to attack the Gourd Valley. The other twenty or so Foundation Establishment cultivators would lie in ambush around the Gourd Valley.
If they could attract the Red Beard Bandits from the other lairs, they would eliminate them all.
If the Red Beard Bandits from the other lairs didn't come, they would go all out to kill the First and Second Masters.
The two brothers were both at the peak of Foundation Establishment and possessed exceptional talent. Who knew when they'd open the Violet Palace.
If the two madmen opened the Violet Palace, the entire northern border would never have peace.
As long as the two core members of the Red Beard Bandits were killed, the other four Foundation Establishment cultivators wouldn't be able to cause much trouble even if they used the name of the Red Beard Bandits.
The Gourd Valley was eight thousand kilometers away from Clear Glass Market. For Foundation Establishment cultivators, this wasn't considered far.
Among the thirty or so Foundation Establishment cultivators, Wang Daoyuan's cultivation was the lowest.
Furthermore, in order to conceal his strength, he used his spiritual sense to suppress the fluctuations of the other four elements. He behaved like an ordinary cultivator with the water element.
If one didn't look carefully, they wouldn't be able to see anything unusual.
The other Foundation Establishment cultivators took good care of him. In order to prevent him from falling behind, the entire group traveled at a speed of five hundred kilometers per hour.
Wang Daoyuan naturally wasn't in a hurry. Since the others were taking care of him, the slower they flew, the better.
It would be best if the Red Beard Bandits had enough time to retreat and hide again.
The Liang Clan had already paid the price. Even if they returned without success, the Liang Clan, they wouldn't be able to get their properties back.
Sixteen hours later, they were only two to three hundred miles away from the Gourd Cave.
Everyone was divided into three groups. The eight Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Liang Clan and the clans close to them temporarily waited in place.
The head of the Yang Clan, Yang Zhiyuan, led his clans, including the Wang Clan and the Meng Clan, and more than ten cultivators to surround the Gourd Cave from the west.
The ten Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Netherworld Sect circled around from the east side of the Gourd Cave.
After the cultivators from the east and west were in position, Liang Jiaxing led the eight Foundation Establishment cultivators into action. They flew directly above the Gourd Cave.
At this time, the Red Beard Bandits in the Gourd Cave were not on guard at all. They were still eating, drinking, and playing in the valley.
Eight Foundation Establishment cultivators cast spells in the air, attacking the Qi Refinement Red-Bearded Bandits in the valley.
These ordinary Red Beard Bandits usually followed their leader to plunder houses and houses or fight battles that went smoothly. How could they possibly contend against a Foundation Building cultivator?
A few large-scale destructive spells were thrown at them, and the group of people were like headless flies, fleeing in all directions.
Not long after, a defensive light barrier lit up in the valley.
This defensive light barrier was not weak. Liang Jiaxing, a late Foundation Establishment cultivator, cast a rank two spell, but the light barrier only flickered slightly.
The strength of this defensive light barrier was definitely not something a rank two spell formation could have.
It seemed that the Red Beard Bandits had put in a lot of effort to set up a rank three defensive spell formation here.
Liang Jiaxing saw that he could not break the spell formation in a short period of time and shouted, "They say that the Red Beard Bandits are unstoppable in the north and south of Huiyan Mountain. Today, it seems that this is all there is to it.
In the past, you Red Beard Bandits relied on your numbers to ambush my Liang Clan's property. My Liang Clan cultivators still dared to come out and fight.
Today, I've come to take revenge, but you don't even dare to show your heads in your lair. "
Huang Wanzhang also mocked, "Red Beard brat, do you only know how to be a coward?"
The Red Beard Bandits could not take this provocation. After a few breaths, two burly men with red beards and red hair flew out of the valley on their swords.
The one in the lead said angrily, "You scoundrels of the Liang Clan only know how to bully with numbers. Last time, you relied on the Underworld Sect and a few other clans' Foundation Establishment cultivators to besiege us brothers, but you still couldn't do anything to us.
Today, you scoundrels want to take down the Gourd Valley with just you? "
The eight people led by the Liang Clan saw the Red Beard Brothers come out and did not waste words. They directly threw a few spells at them.
The Red Beard Brothers' cultivation was higher than the eight people of the Liang Clan. Their reactions were also faster and they dodged the attacks with their swords.
Afterwards, they each condensed a ball of fire the size of a millstone and threw it at the eight people.
These fireballs were not ordinary flames. Although they could not be counted as spiritual fire, they were still extraordinary. The eight people did not dare to take them head on and could only dodge the fireballs.
The eight people of the Liang Clan did not have enough cultivation and did not have the heart to fight to the death. Eight against two, they were actually evenly matched.
The Wang Clan and the others were hiding more than twenty miles away from the cliffs on both sides of the Gourd Valley.
At this distance, a Foundation Establishment cultivator's spiritual sense would not be able to detect them. As long as there was something to hide them, they would not be discovered.
The Red Beard Brothers seemed to have cultivated a type of joint attack spell. When the two of them worked together, their power was multiplied by several times.
The eight people did not dare to face them directly. They could only rely on each other to restrain them and barely contend with them.
The two groups were unable to determine a winner and the battle continued for eight hours.
At this moment, the Yang Clan Leader transmitted a voice message to the people lying in ambush, "Someone is coming from behind. Hide in the earth."
These Foundation Establishment cultivators were all experienced. Those who did not know the earth escape spell had Earth Escape Talismans on them.
Once they heard that they were hiding in the earth, they quickly escaped more than thirty meters deep.
At this depth, a normal Foundation Establishment cultivator's spiritual sense would not be able to detect them.
After a few minutes, four Foundation Establishment cultivators flew over them on their swords.
In half a cup of tea's time, more than three hundred Qi Refinement Red-Beard Bandits entered the Gourd Valley from the small paths on the north and south sides.
Wang Daoyuan could not believe it. The infamous Red-Beard Bandits, who had rampaged in the Huiyan Mountain area for more than a hundred years, were surrounded just like that?
They were surrounded in an instant.
The goal this time was to kill the Foundation Establishment Red-Beard Bandits. The group did not pay attention to these Qi Refinement cultivators. Now that they were here, they could kill them all in one fell swoop.
Above the Gourd Valley, four Foundation Establishment cultivators joined the battle. The situation became six against eight.
The eight people of the Liang Clan immediately became strained. Liang Jiaxing shouted, "Everyone, Daoyou, it's time to make a move."
Yang Zhiyuan took the lead and rushed out with two Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Yang Clan.
Wang Daoyuan wanted to continue watching the show, but since the Yang Clan had made a move, he could only follow.
The Underworld Sect's Foundation Establishment cultivators lying in ambush on the east side of the Gourd Valley also jumped out immediately.
More than twenty people flew into the sky on their swords and surrounded the six Red-Beard Bandits.
The six Red-Beard Bandits did not linger and directly flew down on their swords.
They did not leave the defensive light barrier. Now that they suddenly fled, no one could stop them in time. They successfully fell into the formation's light barrier.
After the six of them landed, the Great Master laughed arrogantly. "If not for the fact that I was worried that you would not be able to take down the Gourd Valley and cause trouble for the other brothers, I wouldn't have bothered with you.
I didn't think that you scoundrels would still be so immature. You let my brothers enter the Gourd Valley just like that.
In this Gourd Valley, not to mention you Foundation Establishment cultivators, even if that old man Liang Liang came personally, what could he do to me? "
So these two brothers had wasted so much time here just to put on an act.
They had more than thirty Foundation Establishment cultivators on their side, and they really thought that these two brothers were boorish men.
In the end, they had all been played.
Sure enough, those who could survive in the Immortal Cultivation World were not fools.
If they wanted to kill the Red-Beard Bandits now, they would have to first take down this Tier Three defensive formation.
