With his powerful magic treasure destroyed, the early stage Devil King cultivator tasted something sweet in his throat before spitting out a mouthful of blood. His body flew out and smashed into the wall of the secret room.
The other leaders were about to attack, but when they saw this scene, their butts, which had just risen half a foot, fell back into their seats. Their faces were filled with shock.
They were not only shocked that Xiao Lingyu blocked the attack of the magic axe with his bare hands, but also that Xiao Lingyu could easily injure an early stage Devil King cultivator with a wave of his hand.
Not to mention the other leaders, even Zhu Jin and the other cultivators on their side were somewhat shocked. After being shocked, they were filled with joy, secretly thinking that they had followed the right person.
"Are you convinced now?" Xiao Lingyu gently placed his arm in front of him and asked with narrowed eyes.
The injured early stage Devil King bandit did not dare to look directly at Xiao Lingyu. After a light snort, he turned his head away and did not answer.
"We are convinced. Master's strength far surpasses ours. Naturally, we have to treat Master as our boss. We are willing to be at Master's beck and call." The mid stage Devil King bandit did not hesitate for too long and said very sincerely.
Xiao Lingyu knew that although they said so, they might not be convinced in their hearts. Even if they were convinced, they would not be willing to be slaves. However, he did not need them to feel comfortable. In a place like the Devil Realm, the weak had no right to speak. As long as you were strong enough, you did not need to worry about your subordinates playing tricks.
"Make an oath."
Xiao Lingyu did not intend to dawdle and said straightforwardly.
"We still need to make an oath?" An early stage Devil King leader asked in surprise.
"What? You don't want to? "Xiao Lingyu asked with a cold expression. His eyes were already shooting out a sharp light.
Under Xiao Lingyu's gaze, the other leaders felt a chill in their hearts and began to make an oath. Anyone could see that whoever did not make an oath would definitely die in this secret room.
This Master seemed to only have the aura of a late stage Devil King, but he gave these leaders a feeling that he was more terrifying than an early stage True Devil expert. They did not dare to have any thoughts of resistance.
After the other leaders finished making their oaths, Xiao Lingyu's expression softened. He said with a smile, "Now that we are a family, we have to get along well with each other. We can't have internal conflicts. Everything has to be discussed."
Xiao Lingyu pointed at Zhu Jin and said, "I am not usually in the mountain. Zhu Jin's arrangements, I will come back when I have time. Of course, Zhu Jin will send a message if there... of course, if there is a big matter that cannot be resolved. Zhu Jin...
"Boss, after we join forces, shouldn't we come up with a more prominent name?" The bandit leader of the mid-stage Devil King bandits asked.
"It doesn't matter if it's a title or not, but if you think it's necessary, then there's no harm in giving it a title." . Xiao Lingyu thought for a while, then said, "I don't have any good suggestions. You can name it yourselves."
"This matter should be decided by the head of the clan." A Devil King sincerely said.
"Let's call it 'Heavenly Bandits'," Zhu Jin suggested.
"Heaven Smiting? Robbing the heavens? "a Devil King said in confusion.
"Robbing the heavens is good. This name is very impressive!" a Devil King praised.
"That's right!" the other leaders all agreed.
"Hehe, if no one has any objections, let's call it 'Heavenly Bandits'," Xiao Lingyu said with a smile.
In the Devil World, the name of a bandit group that would be called a mythical existence in the future was decided in this small secret room by a few Devil King cultivators.
A tree that needs to be hugged begins at the end of a hair, and a thousand feet high platform rises from the ground! No one would have thought that this bandit group, which only had two hundred people now, would have such amazing achievements in the future.
The bandit leaders had already sworn a Soul Oath, so they naturally didn't dare to have any other thoughts. After completing the merger of the two bandit groups, Xiao Lingyu didn't leave immediately. Instead, he made use of everything that he had prepared beforehand to have his subordinates carry out the previous mission.
Xiao Lingyu, on the other hand, watched from the side and then corrected some of the problems in the operation.
Last time, Zhu Jin and the other bandits wanted to rob a sect called the 'Devil Scorpion Sect'. They were about to succeed, but at the last moment, because of the appearance of an early True Demon expert, everything fell short.
The Devil Scorpion Sect's strength was far inferior to the East Demon Sect. The East Demon Sect could barely be considered a third-rate sect on the Bloodmoon Continent, so the Devil Scorpion Sect was simply not a first-rate sect. The strongest cultivator in the sect was only an intermediate Devil King cultivator. The entire sect only had three hundred cultivators, and most of them weren't very strong.
However, for a second-rate sect like the Devil Scorpion Sect, if they wanted to establish themselves in the Devil World, they naturally couldn't rely on their own strength. They would often join forces and help each other.
Last time, Zhu Jin and the other bandits repelled the early True Demon expert, but the reinforcements of the Devil Scorpion Sect had already rushed over. This was the root of the failure of Zhu Jin and the other bandits.
If they wanted to succeed in robbing the Devil Scorpion Sect, the most important thing was to surround the sect before the reinforcements of the Devil Scorpion Sect arrived. Then, they would quickly make the Devil Scorpion Sect lose the ability to resist.
The reason why they chose to rob the Devil Scorpion Sect was that the sect was relatively wealthy. Secondly, Zhu Jin felt that he could eat this big fish. Thirdly, the Devil Scorpion Sect's cultivators had a very bad reputation in the nearby cultivation world. It was to the extent that almost everyone loathed them.
The cultivators of the Demonic Scorpion Sect would raise and carry a Demonic Scorpion with them. Although they appeared to be a proper sect, they would lurk on the roadside like bandits and rob others. Additionally, after each robbery, they would have their Demonic Scorpion devour the robbed cultivators.
Most of the bandits would let the victims live as long as they were willing to hand over their treasures. After all, cultivation wasn't easy, so the bandits generally wouldn't kill indiscriminately.
When the robbed cultivators encountered the Devil Scorpion Sect, not only would they lose their treasures and lives, but they would also sometimes have their Devil Infant and Nascent Spirit imprisoned. The Devil Scorpion Sect would wantonly toy with and torture them. They might also be used for cruel experiments. This was the key reason why the Devil Scorpion Sect's cultivators had such a bad reputation.
Moreover, the Demon Scorpion Sect would often ally themselves with other sects to deal with weaker bandit groups. In the past hundred thousand years alone, no less than fifty bandit groups with uneven strength had been wiped out by them.
Many of the nearby bandit groups hated the Devil Scorpion Sect to the bone. This was actually the reason why everyone thought of the Devil Scorpion Sect when Zhu Jin asked them who they were robbing.
"This Devil Scorpion Sect really needs to be taught a lesson." Xiao Lingyu nodded after hearing the explanation.
It hadn't been that long since the last robbery, so the difficulty of this operation would definitely be much greater than last time. However, the difference was that the two bandit groups last time appeared to be united on the surface, but were actually divided at heart. This time, they were like one family, dealing with each other with their full strength. Moreover, there was an additional expert like Xiao Lingyu overseeing the operation, so the success rate wouldn't be any lower.
After waiting for another half a month, when Xiao Lingyu's time limit was almost up, the Heavenly Bandits' informants reported that the reinforcements invited by the Devil Scorpion Sect had already left for three days.
This was the best opportunity for the operation. Xiao Lingyu promptly made a decision and gave Zhu Jin the order to begin the robbery.
Immediately, all the members of the Heavenly Bandits came out in full force and scattered, slowly encircling the Devil Scorpion Sect's encampment from all directions.
The Devil Scorpion Sect's encampment was located in a valley at the foot of a mountain known as the Giant Peak. The valley had long been renamed the Devil Scorpion Valley because of the Devil Scorpion Sect.
The valley was backed by a mountain, and there was a small river about three hundred meters wide on its side. In front of and around it was a small mountain forest that couldn't be considered very large.
For a sect, such an environment could be considered easy to defend and difficult to attack. This was because it was very difficult to silently encircle the place.
Ordinary cultivators simply couldn't scale the mountain behind the Devil Scorpion Valley. If they could, there would be no need for a sneak attack. They could directly attack from the front and easily destroy the Devil Scorpion Sect.
However, the cultivators of the Devil Scorpion Sect hadn't considered this point. Others couldn't scale the Giant Peak, but neither could they. The Giant Peak protected their rear, which was equivalent to cutting off their own escape route.
Zhu Jin's plan didn't include the encirclement of the Devil Scorpion Valley's rear. When the members of the Heavenly Bandits arrived at a distance of five hundred kilometers from the Devil Scorpion Valley, they began to gather at the front, left, and right of the valley before slowly advancing.
As for the security arrangements that the Demon Scorpion Valley had arranged in the surroundings, Zhu Jin had already sent people to investigate them thoroughly. Previously, they had already eliminated them once. This time, although the other party would not continue with the same arrangements, the disciples they sent might not necessarily be experts in the field of security.
Before the Heavenly Bandits formed an encirclement, the news had already reached the Devil Scorpion Valley. After all, after the previous incident, they had increased their security. It was very difficult for the Heavenly Bandits to surround the enemy's front door before the enemy knew that they were surrounded.
However, Zhu Jin didn't care if the enemy knew because the cultivators of the Devil Scorpion Sect had always been arrogant and conceited. At a time like this, they would choose to resist with all their might while asking for reinforcements. After all, the failure of the Heavenly Bandits last time should have greatly encouraged the cultivators of the Devil Scorpion Sect, causing their self-confidence to soar again.
It wasn't clear whether the Devil Scorpion Sect's self-confidence was truly inflated or if they had other means to rely on. In any case, even after receiving the news, the cultivators of the Devil Scorpion Sect acted as Zhu Jin had imagined. They didn't flee in panic, but instead, they prepared for battle.
Another four hours passed. Everyone from the Heavenly Bandits had arrived outside the Devil Scorpion Valley. Apart from the Giant Peak that couldn't be scaled, they had sealed off the front, left, and right of the Devil Scorpion Valley.
Two mid-stage Devil King and five early-stage Devil King bandit leaders, in addition to nearly a hundred Heavenly Devil King bandits, had far surpassed the strength of the Devil Scorpion Sect.
After ascertaining the strength of the Heavenly Bandits, the Devil Scorpion Sect wisely arranged a demonic formation that enveloped the entire Devil Scorpion Valley.
