Misguided practice of sinister cultivation techniques: Slander! The problem lies with you all, not me!-Chapter 993 - 518: When Even Bandits Become Good People
From Yun State to Qingzhou, it's a difficult and dangerous journey for ordinary people. It's truly a high mountain and distant road with bandits at every turn; even if you don't encounter deadly beasts, the mere bandits lying in wait in the forest can easily take your life.
But for Duan Yun and Murong, it's a heroic journey full of eating, drinking, and slashing.
Those bandits are simply evil demons sent their way, and after cutting them down and looting their corpses, they can still swagger into town.
They stay at the finest inns and drink the most expensive wine, all thanks to the sponsorship of these old comrades.
Yet there are times during their journey when they have to "spend" a little, such as encountering a group of frail bandits.
The leader is tall but as thin as a stick, and his "brothers" are wielding hoes and wooden sticks, with sallow faces. Crucially, among them are old men and women, and two women are holding babies in swaddling clothes.
It's their first time encountering such frail and pathetic robbers.
When Murong punched and broke a tree, this group of bandits was so scared they almost wet themselves, wanting to flee but unable to escape Young Hero Murong's grasp, whoops, Young Hero Murong's coverage.
After cornering the group, Murong learns that they were originally farmers from Pingcang City.
They owned fields back then, but two factions fought, their young master was killed, the rented field was taken back, and their previous food supply was robbed by the new faction.
With nothing to survive on, they decided to head to Yun State.
It is said that there are fields there, plus you don't have to pay taxes for farming.
Not paying taxes while farming sounds more absurd than a ghost story, even scarier, but with nothing left, they decided to take a gamble.
On the way, they ran out of money and food, unable to continue, and had to turn to banditry.
Finally encountering Duan Yun and Murong, who were only two people, they turned out to be experts.
After telling their story, the tall leader was close to fainting with tears, and the baby in the swaddle, "knowing what's up," started crying heart-wrenchingly.
Duan Yun and Murong exchanged a glance and realized it truly wasn't an act. With Duan Yun's experience as a women's doctor, he thought the babies wouldn't survive without some food.
So they gave them some Silver, pointed them the way, and told them all about the Martial World, which was true.
The group was overwhelmingly grateful, and Murong and Duan Yun didn't linger, swiftly leaving.
Even after Duan Yun and Murong's figures had long disappeared, the group stayed put.
After some time, the woman muttered, "Is it all true?"
"Did we really encounter Bodhisattvas?"
"Nonsense, if you see Bodhisattvas in a temple, you have to give Silver. Are Bodhisattvas so kind-hearted?"
...
All the way, Duan Yun and Murong were quite satisfied with their "sponsors" and their "robbing the rich to give to the poor" rhythm. After all, while slaying demons, they enjoyed good food and drinks without spending their own money.
But after two days, they had no "business."
This made Duan Yun and Murong feel a bit uneasy.
After all, outside the Martial World, things were chaotic. They looked like easy targets, yet suddenly no one wanted to rob them?
Yes, even the female bandits were gone, truly absurd.
Later, after inquiry, they learned rumors were spread saying Old Demon Duan and Murong Demon were passing through. Everyone should cherish their lives and properties.
No wonder everyone suddenly became "good people."
Duan Yun couldn't help but angrily rant, "Damn it, who spread the rumors, spreading lies."
In the Martial World, there's always a saying that chaos is decided by someone, to show off a person's formidable power and influence. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
Now when Duan Yun and Murong passthrough, the originally chaotic Martial World became calm, even adding countless "good people." It only means they are "formidable" in their own right.
You know it's close to Qingzhou, which is the territory of the White Sock Divine Sect.
The White Sock Divine Sect, with numerous followers, always liked to eliminate dissent. If you did not agree with their teachings, they wouldn't do anything in the open, but a simple urging by their followers and "free" righteous warriors would charge forward fiercely, smashing and robbing without restraint.
Even for some experts opposing the White Sock Divine Sect, these free warriors would mindlessly charge forward.
Even if killed brutally, after a few quiet days, they would continue enthusiastically being used as pawns.
This is why the White Sock Divine Sect has deep roots, and others don't want to be their enemy.
No other reasons - there are too many rabid fans; anyone normal could not bear it.
And if there's anyone the White Sock Divine Sect hated the most in recent years, Duan Old Demon, head of the Yuzhu demons, is the prime target.
But at this moment, no one dared to challenge him.
Even the most devout, brain-dead fans of the White Sock Divine Sect wouldn't come to challenge him.
It can only be said that Duan Yun's various tactics made even the most mindless ones become rational.
This is the power of reputation!
For this person is so terrifying, so demonic, so insane, so inhuman!
For this false peace, Duan Yun and Murong were not very satisfied.
Feeling down, they slurped five bowls of snail noodles to cheer themselves up.
Once the noodles were slurped, their moods lifted.
How can one not slurp noodles?
Since no one came to stir up trouble, they enjoyed the leisure.
