C691 Bandit Logic
The curtain in front of Ling Jian was lifted. He could clearly see the ugly faces of these Desolate Thieves. Of course, the cultivation bases of these Desolate Thieves were also clearly shown in front of him.
A group of people who couldn't even be considered a mob in the Heavenly Spirit Path. With a flip of his hand, he could kill all of them.
However, although Ling Jian could easily kill these people, they didn't know the true strength of Ling Jian when it came to the cultivators of the merchant group.
When Ling Jian joined the merchant group, these cultivators had also guessed Ling Jian's strength, but they never thought that he was a powerful existence who had already stepped into the Heavenly Dao Realm.
After all, if one's cultivation had reached the Heavenly Dao Realm, they would already have the ability to fly in the sky, so why would Ling Jian choose to join the merchant group?
Moreover, each Heavenly Dao Realm expert was a supreme existence in the Great Cosmos. Each of them had a high status, and even if they wanted to travel through cities, they would definitely not be so extravagant.
In fact, let alone Heavenly Dao Realm experts. Perhaps even those cultivators with cultivation bases in the Heavenly Spirit Path might not choose to join the merchant group. Those with cultivation bases at this level usually had their own pride. They would also have their own mounts, even if they weren't flying mounts. However, it was enough for them to travel alone in the Desolate Land.
At this moment, the captain of the merchant group looked at the three Earthly Spirit Dao Thieves in front of him and fell into silence.
His gaze was gloomy, and his eyes flickered with a pondering light.
To the merchant group, the things they were most unwilling to encounter in the Desolate Lands were nothing more than a bunch of tough Desolate Thieves.
This was because for merchant groups, if they encountered tough Desolate Thieves, their situation would become quite dangerous. There was even a possibility that all of the merchant group's cultivators would be killed, and all of their goods would be taken away by the Desolate Thieves in the end.
"Hand over everything. Are you really going to keep your word? Will you really let us go? "
The captain of the caravan glanced at the man who had spoken earlier and broke the silence.
If they handed over everything, it would be a huge loss for the caravan. However, this was the biggest concession for the Desolate Thieves.
A world where the strong were respected was extremely established for everyone, even if these cultivators were Desolate Thieves.
If it wasn't for his outstanding strength, perhaps these Desolate Thieves would have started slaughtering the entire merchant group instead of giving them so much nonsense.
"I always keep my word. Naturally, I will keep my word."
The cultivator laughed.
The captain pondered for a moment and said, "But can your words represent what they mean?"
The captain looked at the other two people. One of them was the elder brother of the cultivator, while the other one's cultivation was slightly weaker, but his words held a lot of weight.
"What I said can naturally represent their intentions."
The cultivator said slowly, and as he finished speaking, the big brother beside him let out a cold snort, but he did not say anything. Clearly, he agreed with the cultivator.
Even his boss was the same. As for his third brother, who was at the late stage of the Earth Spirit Dao, he didn't have any objections.
"Okay, then I'll trust you this time, brother."
The captain of the caravan looked deeply at the cultivator.
He gritted his teeth, opened his mouth, and spoke with a loud voice.
"Everyone, listen up. Put down your weapons and gather at my side."
After the captain of the caravan spoke, the cultivators on both sides of the carriage changed their expressions.
They had been in the merchant group for many years, so they naturally understood what the merchant group meant by these words.
As for the cultivators in the carriage, their hearts were trembling at this moment. They also knew how terrible the situation was.
"It seems like they are planning to give the entire caravan to them."
One of the cultivators spoke. Although he was dissatisfied, there was nothing he could do about it. He had no choice but to walk out of the carriage.
The other cultivators were unwilling to do so, but they could do nothing about it. They all walked out of the carriage and appeared in the open space of the caravan.
Many of the bandits revealed crazy smiles and ferociousness. Just like the merchant group, they were also aware of the current situation, and the smiles on their faces became even brighter.
Although most of the cultivators who entered the Desolate Lands were prepared to fight, it was not a bad thing for them to have such an outcome.
After all, they did not suffer much loss either.
Soon, all the cultivators who came out appeared at the front of the merchant group. They also looked at the Desolate Thieves, their eyes full of anxiety and uneasiness.
On the contrary, when the Desolate Bandits saw them, they were extremely nervous. It was as if they weren't a group of cultivators that had appeared in front of them. It's a pile of spirit stones.
The captain's expression was unprecedentedly solemn. He looked at the crowd behind him and said emotionlessly, "Since you've come out, then hand over your Qiankun bags."
His voice was not particularly loud, but after he spoke, it caused everyone's expressions to change drastically.
Although they didn't have anything too valuable on them, they still had the resources that cultivators usually used for cultivation.
And for any cultivator, the value of resources undoubtedly occupied a huge amount of weight.
And now that they were going to hand over all the treasures, wouldn't that be the same as cutting off their path of cultivation?
"What? Could it be that I heard wrongly? Why does the captain want us to hand over the Cosmos Sack?"
"We already paid spirit stones when we were in the carriage, and now he wants us to give up? This doesn't make sense, right?"
"It's not just unreasonable, it's simply shameless. When we joined the caravan, he kept saying that he would protect us. Is that how he protected us?"
"We will never hand over the Heaven and Earth Pouch."
...
When the cultivators heard the captain's words, they all voiced their objections, clearly not planning to hand over the Heaven and Earth Pouch.
If they hand over the Cosmos Sack, then their cultivation speed would definitely slow down for a period of time. For any cultivator, this kind of situation was not something they were willing to see.
"What, you're all deaf, right?"
The Third Company Leader, who had yet to speak, sneered and cursed.
"If you don't hand it over, all of you will die."
The rough looking First Company Leader's voice suddenly became incomparably cold.
His expression was extremely malevolent. Coupled with his already fiendish appearance, his words now caused one's hair to stand on end.
In particular, his aura caused everyone to be unable to catch their breath. With his cultivation at the peak of the Earth Spirit Dao, it was enough to render many cultivators helpless.
"If you hand over the things, I won't be able to save you. You can decide for yourself."
The captain of the merchant group also spoke at this time.
Everyone looked at each other in dismay. Their expressions became unprecedentedly ugly at this moment.
They already had some understanding of the cultivation of the captain of the merchant group when they joined the merchant group. That was a genuine peak Earth Spirit Dao cultivation.
It was precisely because they were clearly aware of this that they joined this merchant group. But never had they imagined that even the captain of the merchant group would find it difficult to deal with now. It could be imagined that the few Desolate Thieves on the other side would be extremely powerful.
In an instant, everyone's thoughts became extremely complicated.
At this point, they knew that even the captain of the merchant group could do nothing about it.
If they really didn't hand over the Cosmos Sack, they would very likely die here. Compared to life and death, no matter how many cultivation resources they had, they were merely illusions and not worth mentioning at all.
"Hurry up and make a decision. My patience is limited. Otherwise, my subordinates will make a move."
That regiment commander impatiently urged. As his words fell, the members of the Black Wind Group began to shout, causing the cultivators to hear their voices. Instantly, the panicked cultivators became even more terrified.
"I'll hand it over, I'll hand it over, I'll give you everything"
Finally, one of the cultivators couldn't take it anymore, he quickly walked out from the crowd, reached his hand into his pocket, and handed over three low grade spirit stones.
"You're so poor, you don't even have a Cosmos Sack?"
The leader glanced at the three spirit stones in the cultivator's hand with a gloomy gaze. His cultivation had reached the peak of the Earth Spirit Dao. Three low-grade spirit stones were of no use to him.
However, even though he said so, he knew in his heart that some warriors might not even have a single low-grade spirit stone on them, let alone a heaven and earth pouch.
At this moment, he only casually swept his gaze over this martial artist. After confirming that he didn't have any treasures, he let this person go.
"Scram to the side, next."
A large group of long and cold voices sounded. That martial practitioner immediately nodded and retreated to the side when he heard this. There was still lingering fear in his heart.
With the first cultivator taking the lead, at this moment, although the cultivators behind were reluctant, after weighing the pros and cons, each and every one of them steeled their hearts.
The cultivation resources were indeed incomparably precious, but compared to their own lives, the latter was clearly more important.
Very quickly, they all gave the few cultivation resources they had to the leader of the Black Wind Group.
Among them, there were some cultivators from the Human Spirit Sect who also wanted to secretly hide some resources. However, their final outcome was extremely miserable.
Each and every one of them was slapped to death by the leader of the Black Wind Group. In the end, both their wealth and theirs were gone.
After these cultivators were killed, nothing like this had ever happened again. Each and every one of them had their own way of doing things, and didn't dare to try anything funny.
"Alright, the people I've sent over have already handed over their belongings. Now, can we leave?"
At that moment, after the cultivators handed over their spirit stones and Cosmos Sacks, the captain of the merchant group asked.
"No."
The second captain shook his head, his eyes were deep and deep, no one knew what he was thinking.
However, after hearing his words, the expressions of the cultivators instantly changed, their entire bodies shivered with fear.
They had already followed the other party's request and handed over the items on their bodies. Could it be that these Desolate Thieves were planning to go back on their word?
"You're not going to keep your word!"
The captain of the merchant group said coldly as he glared at the captain.
"Hehe, they did pay, but it seems like you haven't given me yours yet, right?"
The captain sneered, his eyes full of ridicule.
This merchant group seemed to be quite large, and the leader of the merchant group was the strongest person. The goods he had on him would definitely be even more precious and plentiful. This was undoubtedly extremely useful to the Black Wind Group.
The captain's expression instantly froze. Just as the captain had thought, he indeed had quite a few good goods on him.
At the very least, he already had a lot of spirit stones on him.
When those cultivators joined the caravan, all of the spirit stones they paid were with him.
However, he had thought that this group of Desolate Thieves wouldn't discover him, but he hadn't expected that they would.
At this moment, the three captains' gazes were all focused on the captain of the caravan.
The three of them locked onto him. The captain of the merchant group also knew that there was nowhere to hide. He could only secretly sigh at his own misfortune before handing over his Qiankun bag.
When the surrounding Desolate Thieves saw this scene, all of them revealed mocking expressions.
So what if he was an Earth Spirit Dao expert? Wasn't he going to obediently hand over the Cosmos Sack on his body?
"Everyone is here, right?"
At this moment, the captain of the caravan swept his gaze across the empty path ahead. This was a path that the Desolate Bandits had opened up for them to pass through.
Then, the captain of the caravan swept his gaze past the many cultivators behind him and asked in a deep voice.
The cultivators behind him looked at each other in dismay. They had joined the caravan at the last minute, and they didn't know each other. How could they know who had come or not?
The captain of the caravan was naturally aware of this. However, he still had to do it. At this moment, he quickly swept his gaze across the crowd before slowly withdrawing his gaze.
He was naturally unable to remember the faces of these cultivators. However, he felt that it was about time. Just as he was about to leave with the crowd, he suddenly seemed to have thought of something.
"Oh right, it seems like there's still someone who hasn't come out yet."
The captain of the merchant group quickly thought of a person, and the image of Ling Jian appeared in his mind.
This young man had left an extremely deep impression on him.
Unlike the other cultivators who had joined the caravan from the city, Ling Jian was an exception. He had only joined the caravan halfway through the Desolate Land.
Moreover, when he first came here, there weren't any extra carriages for him to rest on. However, this young man was quite generous and directly booked a carriage. This also made him, as a merchant, have a deep impression of the Bureau Chief.
But now, he did not see Ling Jian's figure in the crowd anymore.
"Why isn't he coming out?"
The captain of the merchant group frowned and said in a low voice.
It wasn't that he didn't suspect the possibility of escaping, but he quickly shook his head.
In front of so many experts, if there was a slight abnormality, how could it escape their senses?
The captain's gaze quickly landed on the third carriage. At the same time, his gaze passed through the curtain of the carriage and happened to see Ling Jian, who was resting with his eyes closed.
At the same time, the Desolate Thieves also noticed the captain's actions. They immediately followed the captain's gaze and naturally saw Ling Jian, who was in the third carriage.
"Huh? What's going on?"
"He... He's still sleeping?"
At this moment, no matter if it was the surrounding bandits or the cultivators of the merchant group, they were all petrified on the spot.
How could this young man not notice at this moment?
How powerful was his mental state to be able to achieve this?
At this moment, almost all of the cultivators on both sides were looking at En Ling Jian.
Even the Desolate Thieves were stunned.
Some of them had been Thieves for a long time. They had surrounded and killed many merchant caravans, but this was the first time they had encountered someone who could still sleep under the encirclement of Thieves.
"Who is this person?"
"Just how ambitious is he? Don't tell me he doesn't know that we're already surrounded by the Desolate Thieves?"
"I remember this person. He seemed to have joined us from the middle of the wasteland. At that time, he was the only one."
"Originally, he didn't have a spare carriage when he came over. However, he generously bought an empty carriage. At that time, I came from his carriage."
"It seems like he has some background. He was generous and dared to walk alone in the wasteland. Could it be that his own strength isn't weak?"
"This shouldn't be possible, right? If his own strength was great, then why would he join a merchant group? Furthermore, he's so young, unless he's a genius from the younger generation of the various cities. Otherwise, even if he really did have some achievements at his age, it wouldn't be too high. "
"In any case, I've been a Thief for so many years, but this is the first time I've encountered something like this."
"He's so young, so how can he be so powerful? I think he's probably just pretending."
"I think so too. It's possible."
...
At this moment, whether it was the cultivators on the bandits' side or the cultivators on the merchant group's side, they were all discussing Ling Jian's actions.
Even the three captains and the captain of the merchant group were frowning as they looked at Ling Jian.
Even though the three captains had robbed their homes in the Wasteland for so many years, this was the first time they had encountered such a thing.
"Someone come and wake him up."
The second commander said in a deep voice. His gaze fell on the thief outside the third carriage and instructed him.
The thief nodded and walked towards the carriage with a puzzled expression.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A thief walked over and arrived in front of the frame's door. He slapped the frame's door hard, and at the same time, shouted at Ling Jian, who was resting inside, "Get out here!"
In the carriage frame, Ling Jian was still resting with his eyes closed. He didn't react to the Thief's knocking, as if he hadn't noticed him at all.
The surrounding cultivators, whether they were from the Desolate Bandits or the caravan, all frowned.
If Ling Jian had been sleeping soundly and did not know what was happening outside, it was possible.
However, the situation was different now. Other than pretending, there was no other way to describe it.
"Hmph, he's actually still pretending to be asleep."
Outside the carriage, when the thief saw that Ling Jian was actually indifferent, he immediately flew into a rage and clapped his hands again.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
This time, the strength of his slaps was clearly greater, and the commotion that was emitted instantly attracted the surrounding cultivators.0
However, Ling Jian remained unmoved, as if he had really fallen into a deep slumber.
At this moment, even the captain of the merchant group frowned deeply.
When he first saw Ling Jian, he could already tell that Ling Jian was a cultivator with a cold personality. He never expected that it would be like this.
However, even though he was cold, it was obvious that he still needed to attend to different occasions.
Obviously, he was still so indifferent even when he was surrounded by bandits, and it was undoubtedly courting death.
"Could it be that he's a junior of some great clan? Looks like his natural talent isn't bad. Otherwise, he wouldn't have developed such a disposition. "
The captain of the merchant group thought to himself. He took Ling Jian as a young disciple of a great clan.
But he quickly shook his head. If this sort of clan disciple was in his own territory, then it would be fine if he was arrogant, but now it was different.
Presently, they were in the Wasteland, and they had to face numerous desperate criminals. They wouldn't take into account that you were a disciple of a large clan, and so long as they were displeased, they would make a move and kill you.
"It would be a pity if he died here, but if he really was a disciple of a great clan, then if he was saved, then perhaps they would be able to form good karma."
The captain of the merchant group had his own plans at this moment.
"You still dare to pretend to be asleep? I'll kill you!"
Beside the third carriage, when the Desolate Thief saw Ling Jian's indifferent expression, he couldn't take it anymore and his face was filled with anger.
Although this Thief only had the cultivation of the Martial Dao Realm, he had a very bad temper.
At this moment, he stepped onto the carriage, and stretched out his hand to grab Ling Jian by the collar.
Ah!
Almost as soon as his palm reached out, the next moment, a miserable scream came from the mouth of this martial artist. The scream was extremely miserable, as if he had encountered something terrifying.
Everyone hurriedly looked over when they sensed the movement. They saw that the thief was like a kite with a broken string. He drew a perfect parabola behind him and smashed violently onto the ground.
Not only that, after the warrior landed on the ground, he rolled his eyes and foamed at the mouth. In an instant, all the vitality in his body rippled and he died.
At this moment, the cultivators from both sides were stunned.
No one would have thought that Ling Jian would actually dare to kill someone, and even in front of them.
"Damn it. He actually killed one of our people."
"Kill him."
Soon, all the Desolate Thieves regained their senses. Their furious gazes fell upon Ling Jian, not hiding their killing intent at all.
The faces of the three commanders of the Desolate Thieves were all gloomy.
This was especially the case for the second commander. At this moment, his gaze had become incomparably savage. The remnants of blood in the air made him feel an impulse to kill.
"Sigh, at this point, I'm afraid I can only be powerless."
The captain of the merchant group had also not expected Ling Jian to kill this Thief. In this way, it was impossible for him to save him.
"How dare you kill a member of the Black Wind Group in front of us!"
