Aside from a few of the leaders of the scattered Heaven Smiting Bandit Groups, the other cultivators were all acting as spies, gathering information from all over the place. Any useful information they obtained would quickly be sent to Zhu Jin through their communication beads.
The situation was constantly expanding, and the experts on both sides were getting more and more. In just two or three months, both sides lost six Spirit Demon experts on the battlefield. As for the experts above the Spirit Demon Stage, the spies of the Heavenly Bandits couldn't find out.
However, Xiao Lingyu and Zhu Jin both guessed one thing wrong. The Blood Soul Sect and Meng Family, who were in the center of the storm, should have been the first to bear the brunt and be destroyed. But in fact, the Blood Soul Sect was indeed destroyed, but the Meng Family only lost some experts and didn't suffer a devastating blow.
The reason for this was that before the situation was fully expanded, the Meng Family had hidden all their elite disciples, and all their shops in Mengdai City were closed, which made the enemy lose their target.
It was said that there were countless experts secretly assassinating the Meng Family in Mengdai City, but except for the experts who had been sent to the battlefield, the other members of the Meng Family seemed to have evaporated from Mengdai City.
"No wonder they closed all their shops before, it turned out that they were not going all out to deal with the Blood Soul Sect, but to hide their strength." Xiao Lingyu said with a frown after receiving the news.
"Even if the Meng Family didn't retreat, they at least kept 80% of their strength. They might even secretly hunt me down." Zhu Jin said gloomily. Originally, he thought that even if the Meng Family wasn't completely destroyed, they wouldn't pay attention to him, but he never expected this situation.
"They can only secretly hunt you down. After all, there are some people who are thinking about them. Since they chose to hide, they don't dare to easily expose themselves. Especially the experts of the Meng Family, they are unlikely to come out in the near future. After all, this is still the center of the storm in the Blood Moon Mainland. If they dare to come out, it is very likely that they will be blocked by others before they can find you. "Xiao Lingyu calmly analyzed.
"Then what should we do?" Zhu Jin asked.
"Let's not think about the Meng Family's pursuit. Let's just do what we need to do in this chaotic world." Xiao Lingyu replied.
"In times of chaos, many sects will be destroyed. When that happens, countless homeless cultivators will appear. For a bandit group that wants to expand, this is not only the best time to plunder, but also the best time to recruit a large number of experts," Zhu Jin said, his eyes shining.
"Let's do that then. However, I suggest that the entire Heavenly Bandits should not gather together for the time being in order to avoid becoming the target of those experts who are passing by. We can first split up into several groups and develop our own strength. Once the situation has calmed down, we can gather together again." Xiao Lingyu nodded and suggested.
Zhu Jin immediately left Xiao Lingyu's secret room. He was probably going to contact the scattered robbers.
They couldn't stay near Mengying City for a long time. Under Zhu Jin's intentional control, the scattered cultivators of the Heavenly Bandits were all developing according to the plan while slowly approaching the center of the Blood Moon Continent.
Xiao Lingyu and the other leaders of the Heavenly Bandits were also moving at the same time. What they saw and heard along the way made Xiao Lingyu even more certain that the current situation of the Blood Moon Continent was very chaotic. There were constant killings and floating corpses everywhere. Wherever they went, they could smell a strong smell of blood.
Almost every day, hundreds and thousands of cultivators would join the Heaven Smiting Bandit Group. At the same time, many weaker sects would be annihilated every day. After this great upheaval, all the forces in the Blood Moon Mainland would be reshuffled.
These were not the problems that Xiao Lingyu cared about. What he cared more about was the constant news from the Bounty Hunter Branch in Blood Moon City. The missions to collect materials he issued were almost all completed.
There were a lot of materials. Even if they couldn't find them, it didn't matter too much as long as they had most of them.
However, there was one main material that couldn't be missing. It was just that it hadn't been sent to the branch.
This main material, like the Double-Colored Spiritual Infant Fruit and the Three Lives Flower, would play a huge role in the final stage of the promotion. If it was missing, Xiao Lingyu would definitely fail to break through to the Chaotic Void Refining Stage.
More than half a year passed like this. Xiao Lingyu and the others were still very far from the center of the Blood Moon Continent, but the Heavenly Bandits was gradually growing stronger. With Xiao Lingyu's help, they even recruited a few masters of the True Demon Stage. However, one day, a leader sent a message saying that a master with a group of people was preparing to join the Heavenly Bandits, but he wanted to see Zhu Jin first.
It was normal for masters to want to join the Heavenly Bandits these days, but every time they wanted to see the leader, not Zhu Jin, so Zhu Jin felt that this matter was a bit strange.
But no matter what, if the other party wanted to join, he had to go see him. After thinking about it, Zhu Jin rushed over.
Even though the Heaven Smiting Bandit Group had spread out, they weren't too far apart from each other. For the sake of Zhu Jin's safety, the scattered bandits didn't know the location of Zhu Jin's group. However, Zhu Jin knew where they were and had always been in contact with them through his communication pearl.
Originally, Xiao Lingyu didn't plan to follow them. With Gong He and Cang Ju accompanying them, they would be very safe under normal circumstances.
However, Xiao Lingyu thought about it again and felt that there was a problem. In the past, the masters who wanted to join all wanted to see him. After all, Zhu Jin was only a military counselor, not the real leader.
Moreover, even if those people didn't have any ulterior motives and sincerely wanted to join the Heavenly Bandits, Xiao Lingyu had to meet them and make them swear loyalty.
Xiao Lingyu didn't dare to let anyone he couldn't trust stay in the Heaven Smiting Bandits.
With these concerns, Xiao Lingyu also chased after them.
Although Xiao Lingyu's speed was fast, he didn't directly catch up. Instead, he followed behind Zhu Jin and the others. He wanted to see the situation first.
In just three days, Zhu Jin and the other two found the group of bandits in a forest that wasn't very big.
Xiao Lingyu hadn't entered the forest yet, but he had already felt a very obscure but powerful Devil Sense sweeping towards him.
"There is a Spirit Demon Expert!"
Xiao Lingyu's heart tightened, and he immediately stopped and released his Divine Sense.
After scanning with his Divine Sense, Xiao Lingyu found the owner of the tyrannical Devil Sense. That person was actually among the bandits of the Heavenly Bandits.
After carefully sensing it, Xiao Lingyu found that this person's body and Divine Sense fluctuations were full of Meng Family's aura.
If Xiao Lingyu hadn't fought with the Meng Family's True Devil Disciple last time, he wouldn't have been able to distinguish the Meng Family's True Devil Disciple.
It would be very difficult for the Meng Family to find Zhu Jin's hiding place, but it wouldn't be difficult for them to find the scattered members of the Heaven Smiting Bandit Group. This time, it was definitely their plan to lure Zhu Jin out.
Originally, Xiao Lingyu was going to send a message to Zhu Jin, but even if he told Zhu Jin, it wouldn't have much effect. After all, in front of a Spirit Demon Expert, Zhu Jin and the others who had already entered the forest had no resistance at all, and it was impossible for them to escape.
Xiao Lingyu knew the power of a Spirit Demon Expert, but after thinking about the silver moon broken sword, the fear in his heart disappeared. His body flashed, and he appeared beside Zhu Jin and the others.
At this time, Zhu Jin and the others were less than a hundred feet away from the group of robbers.
"Great Leader, why are you here?" Zhu Jin asked in surprise.
"Oh, I heard that there are experts joining, if I don't come to see, wouldn't I be neglecting the brothers who are about to join?" Xiao Lingyu smiled and said.
"It turned out that the Great Leader came in person, this Yang is really honored!"
The cultivator who hid his cultivation to the early stage of True Devil Realm smiled and greeted him, and said. But in his heart, he was thinking that this Heavenly Bandits' Great Leader was only at the early stage of True Devil Realm, so he couldn't ruin his family's business.
"So your surname is Yang, I thought your surname is Meng." Xiao Lingyu said jokingly.
When the person heard this, his expression suddenly changed, but then returned to normal and said: "Great Leader is really joking."
Originally, Zhu Jin was a little confused about the sudden arrival of Xiao Lingyu, but after listening to Xiao Lingyu's words, he was surprised and understood.
Through the change in the other party's expression, Xiao Lingyu was more certain that this person was from the Meng Family.
Moreover, the people behind this person were all on high alert. Their Demonic Senses were also locked tightly onto Xiao Lingyu, as if they were facing a great enemy.
Among these people, two were Demon King Late-stage, and the others were all at True Devil Realm.
Just for Zhu Jin, the Meng Family dispatched so many experts, it seems that they really valued the treasure that Zhu Jin knew.
"Since you are willing to join the Heavenly Bandits, you should not mind making an oath, right?" Xiao Lingyu smiled and said straightforwardly.
Hearing the oath, the people who came frowned, but then the Spirit Devil Realm expert laughed and said to the people behind him: "Yes, we should make an oath! Come, let's make an oath together! "
Then, the person's face suddenly sank, and he turned around and slapped Xiao Lingyu.
The person who came felt that this Great Leader was only at True Devil Early Stage, and he was very close to him, so his palm was absolutely impossible to dodge.
Xiao Lingyu really couldn't dodge such an attack from the Spirit Devil Realm expert, but he had expected the other party to suddenly attack, so he had already put the silver moon broken sword in front of him.
Even if the person who came was a Spirit Devil Realm expert, he couldn't take back his palm.
Not waiting for the other experts of the Meng Family to make their move, the palm blade of that person collided with the Silver Moon Broken Blade. Then he uttered a blood-curdling scream, because his palm was split open by the opposite party's broken blade, and blood splashed all over his face.
This was exactly what Xiao Lingyu wanted. He already knew that this would be the result, so he raised the Silver Moon Broken Blade in his hand and slashed towards the opponent's neck.
After all, the person who came was a Spirit Devil Realm expert. He didn't expect the other party to be so powerful, but at this time, his reaction was not slow, and he quickly leaned back and dodged the attack.
