2"My responsibility this time is mine. I was careless!" Liu Zhifei said guiltily.

The bandits who had been planning for a long time had almost been caught in a fire, casting a shadow over the supposed great harvest of robbers.

The third team returned in a hurry. The fifth and seventh squads hadn't returned yet, but the news that the Heaven Shaking Sect had started their bandit operation in Mengyu County had spread. The Heaven Shaking Sect wasn't the only one; the Heavenly Wolf Sect was in Ling Zhang County and the Spirit Opening Sect was in Hu Yao County as well.

By the second day, almost everyone in the discussion hall had heard of this news, causing all the merchants present to panic.

This was because from the news that came from two days ago, other than the three factions that had made an unexpected and huge victory on the first day, the second day's battle results were few. On the contrary, the three sects' border guards would occasionally receive news of injuries, and from time to time, there would also be reports of caravans being robbed and killed.

Even though the bandits' contact was clearly scattered, and most of the bandits were just harassing them, and they just stole away. Although the bandits' contact was obviously scattered, and most of the bandits were just harassing them, and most of them just stole away. Most of the caravan's losses weren't too serious, but this time, the bandits were no longer robbing or killing the merchants that had returned from the business.

Things were getting more and more out of hand. Not only were there a lot of bandits, they were also a lot braver. How big a deal was this joint operation of the border guards from the three counties? Even bandits dared to commit crimes against the wind?

There were even some people who thought that this was a kind of conspiracy, a dark method used by certain forces to harvest all kinds of cultivation resources. They were going straight for the three major sects that were hosting this event.

In a warehouse in the middle of the square, a few Martial Disciples from the Xishan Village gathered together to discuss when to leave the square.

"Although bandits have been rampant for the past few days, most of the caravans were still able to safely travel back and forth. Currently, our Western Mountain Merchant Group has four to five Martial Disciples, and the Lord Village Chief is a cultivator at the late stage of the Martial Human Realm. Even if he was unlucky enough to run into the bandits, he would probably still be able to fight, right?" Shi Nan Sheng said.

An Xia directly shook her head and said, "It's true that they have the power to fight, but from the news I've heard, the robbers are no longer trying to snatch the entire caravan away. Instead, they're all rushing forward to snatch it away!"

An Xia shook her head as she spoke, "Although our caravan is not as large as it was when we were here, there are still more than ten large carriages. Although our caravan is not as large as before, there are still more than ten large carriages.

"Right, right. Do not leave the discussion hall at this time, it's the safest place!" A voice suddenly sounded in the room. It was the silent Shi Jingxuan.

However, just as he finished speaking, Shi Nan Sheng glared at him, while Xu Sanniang said, "If you don't leave, the rent of this warehouse is extremely expensive. After staying for two or three more days, you will have to pay close to a thousand jade coins.

Shi Nan Sheng asked Yang Tian, "Brother Yang, is there any news from your son?"

"Yes, right, Yang Junshan is on the border guard team. Since he sent the message earlier, we can ask him about their patrol route and make an appointment to leave the discussion site at a time similar to the caravan's return route to Barren Town. That way, we can have the border guard team escort us all the way back." Shi Jingxuan proudly said.

"Shut up!"

The others did not say anything, and Shi Nan Sheng could not bear to listen any longer.

Currently, the entire border guard squad is under martial law, and every village and town has their own child within the border guard squad. I've also asked the caravan in the other villages for help, but none of them have received any news from the border guard squad.

Yang Tian's eyes swept over Shi Jingxuan as he spoke. Shi Jingxuan panicked for no reason and his entire face turned pale.

An Xia sighed, "In the past few days, more than half of the caravan from the Terra Village had been robbed. One Martial Disciple in the village died, one was injured; the caravan from Tun Meng Village had also been robbed. If it weren't for the news Meng Shan received from Third Brother and retreated back to the business area, it wouldn't have been as simple as losing two carts of supplies."

Just as everyone was at a loss for words, Yang Qianhai suddenly knocked on the door and said: "Third uncle, there's news from outside."

Yang Qianhai didn't mention it, but Yang Tian knew that he was talking about the latest news from Yang Junshan, so he quickly said, "Quick, show it to me!"

As Shi Jingxuan saw Yang Tian impatiently open a secret talisman using a specific method of spiritual energy, his eyes flashed for a moment. He then let out a sigh of relief and said, "Everyone, let's head back to Desolate Land Town tomorrow and inform Meng Shan and the caravan of the other villages. Tomorrow morning, we'll leave through the same path as Desolate Mountain Town!"

An Xia frowned and said, "Notifying the village is one thing. Although the caravan only has a few big carriages, at least there is a Martial Disciple like Meng Shan holding the fort. The other villages don't have a proper caravan.

The others clearly did not agree to inform the cultivators of the other villages. Yang Tian thought for a moment and said, "Then we will only notify Meng Shan. If the others know, they are willing to follow."

Due to the injury caused by Ningxia, the members of Team Two were sent out on the third day after resting for one day on the second day. Ningxia did not accompany them this time.

However, this time, before leaving the stronghold, Liu Zhifei had informed everyone of the route of the patrol in advance, while Yang Junshan once again informed Tigress through the Golden Orchid Seal that Tigress had been lurking in the nearby forest, and told her to send Bao`er over. Meanwhile, Yang Junshan used the loophole of the defensive array to reveal the route of the patrol to Bao`er, and had her deliver the news to Yang Tiangang, who was waiting in the discussion area.

At this time, near a sand dune in Sandstorm Town, Zhang Sun Star carefully avoided the attention of the Martial Disciples in Sha Tian Village and snuck under a sandstone at the back of the village.

After a few days of secret investigation, Changsun Xinghe finally confirmed that one of Mengyu County's family treasures should be under a sandstone in the sand dune behind the sand field village of Dune Town.

However, after a few days of investigation, he found out that the village in Shatian Village was a very prestigious late stage Martial Disciple cultivator of Shatian Town. Shatian Village was the strongest village in Shatian Town, so in order to not be noticed, he had been patiently waiting for an opportunity.

Finally, three days ago, after the debating area had begun, Village Zhengtian had formed a caravan and hurried to participate in the exchange market. Without the protection of a late stage Martial Disciple, Zhangsun Xing finally took the opportunity to sneak into the village.

However, after they had finally snuck into the Sha Tian Village, the expected entrance to the treasure was never discovered. However, after they had finally snuck into the Sha Tian Village, the expected entrance to the treasure was never discovered.

He was certain that the family's treasure trove was here, but after repeatedly searching for it and finding nothing, Changsun Xinghe believed that there was only one way to deceive his spirit sense. That was, the entrance to the treasure trove had been sealed off by someone.

In order to not attract the attention of the cultivators guarding Shatian Village, Zhangsun Xing had long since been prepared to place both of his hands on the ground and then beat the ground with it at a rapid frequency. In order to not attract the attention of the cultivators guarding Shatian Village, Zhangsun Xing had long since placed both of his hands on the ground and then beat the ground with his hands.

Yang Junshan had set up an array to hide the entrance to the cave, but the array itself didn't have much power, and Zhangsun Xing had already been prepared for it, so once the array was found, it could be easily broken.

However, about an hour after Zhangsun Xing broke through the formation and entered the hole, he came out of the hole with an extremely gloomy expression.

After sneaking out of Shatian Village, Zhangsun Xing headed southeast to the border between the three counties. This place was only about ten miles away from Yang Junshan and the others' foothold. This generation's territory was mostly hilly, which looked extremely desolate from afar.

He rode on the wind and flew on the ground, as if he had sensed something after a gentle slope. Suddenly, he dispersed the turbid wind he was controlling, and two people came out from behind a small hill at the bottom of the slope. They were Fang Xuesheng and Yan Qinxi.

"How is it, did you find the clan treasure?" Fang Xuesheng asked with a smile.

Zhangsun Xing nodded, but his expression was still gloomy. Yan Qingxi observed his expression and asked, "What? Did something go wrong?"

"The treasure is in the sand dune behind a village. If we want to transport away the family's stored goods, it will definitely startle the entire village."

Yan Qingxi was stunned for a moment before saying, "Brother Zhangsun doesn't need to worry about it. The treasure is already there, so if you have time in the future to bring it back, you should do so."

It was hard for Zhangsun Xing to hide the disappointment on his face. He sighed and said, "It's not because of the cultivation materials in the treasure, but because the treasure has definitely been discovered."

Fang Xuesheng was surprised and said, "We've been discovered. The materials stored inside are gone. We've been discovered by the people from Shatian Village?"

Zhangsun Xing shook his head. "Most of the materials are still inside. They definitely aren't from Shatian Village!"

Yan Qingxi's expression was solemn as she asked, "Has the treasure been touched by someone?"

Zhangsun Xing nodded, "Out of the six hidden treasures of our clan in Yu County, each one has been designed with a hidden secret cave." Zhangsun Xing nodded, "Out of the six hidden treasures of our clan in Yu County, each one has been designed with a hidden secret cave.

He was too tired to wake up when he got home. Fortunately, he woke up in the middle of the night.
