Red Devil Valley. Sha Village.
The name Sha Village is simple and ordinary, but in the eyes of passing caravans and armed escorts, it is notorious.
Because it is one of the strongholds of desert bandits.
Not knowing when it started, the people living in all corners of the Gobi Desert began to gather here. Their population is increasing, but because of the lack of resources, there is no way to solve the survival problem of this huge population.
When a rather intelligent rogue among them set his eyes on the trade route of the Red Devil Valley and told his clansmen about his plan, the clansmen's breathing quickened and their faces flushed.
"Yes, that's what we're going to do — — We rely on the Red Devil Valley, the Red Devil Valley is our territory — —"
"Those merchants are profiteers, they are rich but they never know how to give us some — —"
"We won't kill them, we'll just rob their goods — — For my children, I'm willing to do anything sinful — —"
----
As a result, a bandit group with the slogan of fairness and justice and 'robbing the rich to give to the poor' was born.
The guy who first proposed the plan was recognized as their leader, and the others enthusiastically responded and became a member of the group.
They rode on the horses they plundered, brandished the sabers they bought from the nomads outside the pass, and engaged in the business of scourging the entire kingdom for thousands of years.
Li Muyang stood on the watchtower of the village, coldly scanning the bustling scene inside the Sha Village.
Groups of bandits dressed in black robes dragged in large and small carts stained with blood, some of the carts still had a head or an ear that had not been thrown away. Another group of bandits dressed in black robes were wiping their sabers, ready to go out. They were the most experienced hunters of the Red Devil Valley, rushing to their familiar hunting ground.
They were laughing and chatting, greeting each other cordially.
"Hey, today's harvest is good — — Is there any wine? I'll exchange it with the best satin. "
"Zhao Sifang, you bastard, you stole another woman — — How many wives do you have? Today I'll buy her for fifty gold coins — — What? One hundred? Did a dog eat your conscience? Which woman is worth so much money? Is that part of her made of gold? "
"Boss Meng Ji, every time you make a move, our team is far inferior — —"
----
In the Sha stockade, there were old men smoking tobacco, strong middle-aged men, and youths as young as Gan Liang.
They didn't feel guilty at all. They treated robbing as a legitimate business, a profession that had been in their blood for thousands of years.
They wanted to live!
To live was to exercise the most primitive reason for all evil.
"Boss Red Beard brought a team of one hundred people out, I'm afraid they're going to bring back a big package today — — Brothers, we have to work hard today. Otherwise, they will laugh at us. " A man with a knife scar on his face shouted loudly on horseback, cheerfully cheering for his brothers in the team.
"Don't worry boss Hu, we can't compete with Red Beard boss, other teams may not necessarily snatch as much as us — —" A black-robed youngster responded enthusiastically.
When he saw another group of men in black get on their horses and rush out of the gate under the lead of a leader, Li Muyang moved.
He leaped down from the watchtower, and as he was in midair, he unsheathed the Heavenly Sword in his hand.
Screech —
He chopped off the railing of the watchtower.
The railing fell forward, and then fiercely smashed towards the gate of Sha stockade.
Crash — —
The wooden gate was smashed to pieces, the desert bandits on horseback panicked and scattered in all directions.
A loud noise resounded, startling everyone in the stockade.
The old man smoking tobacco tossed away his cigarette holder, raised his saber and pounced towards Li Muyang.
The middle-aged man who was bargaining with his clansmen to buy a woman for sixty gold coins revealed an ominous glint in his eyes, his eyes bloodshot as he pounced towards Li Muyang.
There were also the young children, who unknowingly pulled out a dagger suitable for them, gnashed their teeth and lunged towards Li Muyang.
There were also the women, the young girls who looked like they have no strength to truss a chicken — — Some of them hid scissors, some brought out bows and arrows.
They were all members of the Sha stockade, accomplices of the desert bandits.
Their bodies flowed with the blood of murder and robbery. They were fed with the blood of people and plentiful goods.
Li Muyang stood in the middle of the square in the middle of Sha stockade, the place they used to divide up the looted goods or women, and tidy up their equipment in preparation for another 'battle'.
He stared coldly at the people, at the people who were surrounding him from all directions.
"If you don't go to hell, who will?"
The old man smoking tobacco rushed over, but was chopped into two halves with one slash of his sword. Also chopped into two halves was the cigarette holder in his arms.
The middle-aged man who wanted to buy another wife rushed over, but his head was chopped off by Li Muyang's sword. His head flew into the air, his expression was one of panic and a strong reluctance to leave this world.
They were still young children, they had a tender face, but their sword moves were experienced and ruthless.
Li Muyang did not hesitate at all, the Understand Heaven Sword dripping with blood pierced through their chests, and then pushed forward, another similarly young boy was pierced through the heart — —
----
Silence.
A deathly silence.
Apart from the skeleton flag at the top of the stronghold fluttering in the wind, there was no other sound in the entire Sha stockade.
Li Muyang stood, standing in the middle of the crowd.
The entire body of his sword was dyed red with blood, his clothes were also dripping with blood, like an asura demon crawling up from the depths of hell.
At the feet of Li Muyang, blood flowed like a river and corpses were scattered everywhere.
Some people were beheaded, some had their arms chopped off, and some had their hearts pierced through — —
Those who were still alive, their knees were weak, and the sabre in their hands was as heavy as a thousand pounds, difficult to control.
They stared wide-eyed at Li Muyang, at Li Muyang who was bathed in blood, and at Li Muyang whose eyes were blood-red and looked more like a demon than them.
It was hard for them to believe, how did they provoke such a killing god? How could the lives of so many clansmen be easily taken away by this person?
He is a demon, a demon of the Gobi desert.
There were men begging for mercy, women crying, and children screaming — —
Li Muyang's face was expressionless as he once again charged towards them with his sword in hand.
----
In front of the illusion of Water Moon Heavenly Cave, the atmosphere was solemn and everyone looked serious.
Even the two famous teachers of Starry Sky, Kong Li and Xiahou Qianbai, who liked to quarrel the most, were silent, staring wide-eyed at everything happening in front of them.
It wasn't until he saw Li Muyang slashing his sword at the child that Kong Li's face turned unusually ugly. "Too much. This boy is too much — — How could he kill the old, the young, women and children? Does he still have the word kindness in his heart? For Starry Sky to recruit such a student into the academy, if this boy succeeds in his studies and becomes someone like Li Ruobai or Du Ruofu, I'm afraid he will bring disaster to the entire Starry Sky and become the shame of the school — — "
"Killing bandits in anger, exterminating a clan of bandits in anger. The root of the evil of these bandits is in their hearts, in their bones and blood — — Li Muyang's action is a good way to solve the problem once and for all. What he did was a bit cruel, but his intention was good — — After all, when he saw his savior and a group of innocent escorts die in front of him, his heart must have been very stimulated. If they can destroy the families of these escorts, why can't he destroy the families of the bandits? "As expected, Xiahou Qianbai would not allow Kong Li to be alone in front of the world. As long as the other party supports it, he will oppose it and oppose it, he will support it.
"Although that's the case, the big picture can be seen from the small details. Because of this, it can be seen that this boy's state of mind is not under control and is not bound by the rules of the secular world. If he learns the magical powers of heaven and earth, and someone provokes him in the future, he will exterminate their entire family? Which country provokes him? He will exterminate a country? "
"This is a hypothetical, an analogy. This is a fact that has not been established yet. As far as I know, when brother Kong encountered this, you also killed a lot of people, right? "
"I killed people that deserved to be killed."
"Li Muyang did not kill people that deserved to be killed?"
"Those women and children, those children that have not yet grown up — — What crime did they commit?"
"When they grow up, they will also be bandits."
"You're not just hypothetical? It's not an analogy. Isn't this putting a crime on them? If those children grow up, maybe they will also be admitted to Starry Sky Academy and become Starry Sky students? "
"In any case, I feel that what Li Muyang has done is very satisfying. It's even more satisfying than my assessment back then."
"I strongly oppose this boy's admission. Even if he is admitted, he will only be allowed to do odd jobs and is not allowed to enter Water Moon Heavenly Cave — — "
"Teachers — —" Bookworm Xiaoxin tried to mediate from the side, he is already used to this kind of scene. "Li Muyang was personally recruited by the dean."
“----”
Kong Li and Xiahou Qianbai exchanged a glance and then looked at Bookworm together.
"Li Muyang was admitted to Starry Sky with the first place in the kingdom's exams. It can be said that he is the student with the worst qualifications this year, and also the student with the worst qualifications over the years. Even the students who were eliminated are much better than him — — Which year did not have the first place in the kingdom's exams? Which country did not have the first place in the exams? How many people can be admitted? "
Kong Li's eyes were filled with puzzlement, he nodded and said: "I also think it's strange. This boy's cultivation is unsightly, he was battered and exhausted when he climbed up the mountain, even the servants that the students brought are much stronger than him — — But at this very moment he showed such skills. What is going on? Pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger? Trying to deceive the world? "
"Why did the dean specially recruit him?" Xiahou Qianbai's focus was obviously different. "Could it be he has some relationship with the dean? Is he the illegitimate son of the dean? "
Bookworm shook his head. "This is not something I can know."
Kong Li and Xiahou Qianbai simultaneously glared fiercely at Bookworm. "Why did the dean tell you this secret — — but we don't know?"
