In the spring, in addition to the flowers blooming on the land of the Spirits, there is another creature that becomes extremely active, and that is the human beings called "robbers".

I don't know when the rules appeared, but by the time everyone found out, the thieves had already acted according to the rules that had been passed down for a long, long time, and they were generally most rampant in the spring, slightly converged in the summer, basically extinct in the autumn, and occasionally appeared in the winter. Therefore, the people of the Soul Realm usually do not choose to travel far away with a large number of items in the spring without the escort of powerful bodyguards, and if they encounter robbers, they will definitely lose their money.

Bandit spirituality is an outlier in spirituality, they are like ordinary human robbers who frequently haunt in the spring, but they have the same organizational discipline as general spirituality, and some even operate in one place for a long time to form a spiritual force, but no matter what, robbers are robbers after all, and what they do is nothing more than robbing homes and killing people and setting fires, but because they are spiritual, the objects of robbery are also spiritual.

The northern section of the junction of Boyang Mansion and Zhaoyang Mansion is a continuous group of mountains, there are many lakes and swamps in the boundary of Boyang Mansion, but there are only three small rivers and their tributaries within the boundary of Zhaoyang Mansion, and it is rare to see a large lake with an area of more than 100 acres, the environment in this mountain is very good, the aura is sufficient, there are many hidden spiritual forces or families, in such an environment, many robber spiritual gangs develop and grow in the mountains, they continue to fight among themselves while robbing others, annex and split each other, and finally develop three famous bandit groups - "Pigeon in the Forest". "Island in the middle of the lake" and "Wolf's Tooth Pavilion".

The island in the center of the lake in the three bandit groups is located in the territory of Boyang Mansion, and the old nest is located on an island in a super big lake, because there are spiritual cultivators who are proficient in the formation in the group, and the islands in the lake have been arranged several times, and finally become a paradise that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The Wolf's Tooth Pavilion is located in Zhaoyang Mansion, the old nest is located on a dangerous peak, because the peak resembles a wolf's tooth and is named, in addition to the deep valley around the cliff, the only gentle slope is heavily guarded, it is also easy to defend and difficult to attack, most of the people in it are murderous madmen, it is an excellent place for the important criminals wanted by the major forces to hide, and the people who met them have lost their lives after being robbed, so few people dare to pass around the Wolf's Tooth Pavilion, basically how far they can go around.

Lin Zhongge is the most special one of the three major gangs, they have no fixed stronghold, they have always gone wherever to settle down, the members are all dressed in white, in the northern section of the border between Boyang and Zhaoyang Mansion in this big mountain, few people can catch their tails in the forest, and the people they rob always lose their traces as soon as they hand over the money, as if they never appeared.

There is a story about the three bandit groups that has been circulating.

A few decades ago, there was a wealthy spiritual merchant in Boyang Mansion who brought his family property to Zhaoyang Mansion to do business, and brought a lot of spiritual guards with him.

But what the rich businessman didn't expect was that not long after he entered this area where bandits were rampant, he was chased by a group of unknown robber spiritualists and lost his way, and plunged into the sphere of influence of the island in the middle of the lake.

Where could the whereabouts of the pigeon in the forest be predicted in the route he planned? Just as they were about to cross the border between the two provinces, a group of spiritual cultivators dressed in white suddenly appeared like ghosts, chopping melons and chopping vegetables, killing the guards in all directions, sweeping away another part of their possessions, and then leaving like ghosts.

At this moment, the rich merchant realized that he had underestimated the spiritual cultivation of these robbers, and knew that he could not stay here any longer, so he hurriedly turned around and headed south, wanting to get out of this mountain.

But a day later, the wealthy merchant regretted not asking a stargazer to calculate the bad luck of his trip before going out, because just as they were about to leave the mountain, they were confronted by a group of Wolf's Tooth Pavilion spiritualists.

This group of spiritual cultivators didn't know what they had just experienced, they were full of murderous aura, and when they saw this group of people, their eyes lit up, and they started killing without even saying hello, and a group of people only escaped from two slightly stronger spiritual guards, and the rich merchant even folded all his belongings in the hands of the Wolf's Tooth Pavilion.

After the news was spread by the two escaped guards, the reputation of the three bandit groups became louder and louder, and that mountain suddenly became a forbidden place in the eyes of many people, but there were also many people who were eager to try, thinking that it was a good place to try, for example, Yu Chen had a senior brother who had run back and forth in this mountain several times, and almost hung up several times, but his strength also went up slowly, when he entered the mountain, it was the late stage of Ning Yuan, and after he came out, it was already the middle stage of Chengdan, and after returning to Tianxuan Peak, he became a steward, At that time, Master Yu Chen took over the position of Elder Tianxuan, so he broke away from the master and set up his own door to recruit apprentices, but the junior brothers and sisters who entered the door later than Yu Chen were still commensurate with the same brothers, and they still called the master when they saw Elder Tianxuan, so the relationship between them was not bad, otherwise they would not know about this kind of thing.

"So you mean we're going to have to take a detour?" After listening to the above, Li Qingyu sat on a big stone with his eyes open, looked at Yu Chen, who was standing under the stone and leaning against a tree, and asked.

"If we don't take a detour, we may not be able to reach Zhaoyang Mansion intact." Yu Chen spread his hands, looking very helpless.

"But that senior brother of yours is not good, and he still uses them as a test to sharpen himself, is a genius like you inferior to your senior brother?"

Yu Chen was speechless: "Didn't I still take you with me, I'm worried that I won't be able to take care of you if I really have something." ”

"You don't have to worry about that." Li Qingyu waved his right hand, and his eyes smiled into two crescents again, "As soon as there is a wind and grass, I will become a prototype and hide, unless there is a master of the Yuan Infant Stage, no one will be able to find me!" ”

"......" Yu Chen didn't know what to say, and it took a long time before he spoke again, "You don't want to take a detour so much?" ”

"Trouble, it's a good detour to delay time." She still wants to see Wei Li sooner!

"Alas, since that's the case, then let's go straight, by the way, let's test my cultivation results over the years, the master also said that the sword soul needs to be constantly fought to conceive, otherwise it will not be able to grow, thinking about it this way, I am looking forward to meeting those people." As he spoke, Yu Chen's eyes showed a hint of excitement.

Li Qingyu was slightly stunned, but did not show it.

After getting along for such a long time, except for the time when the sword hole was broken, Yu Chen had always given her a feeling of warmth as jade, coupled with the fact that their journey was calm and there were no twists and turns, she almost forgot that the person in front of her was the future Shao Tianxuan, and when she saw him in the previous life, the image of being fierce and unapproachable almost completely faded and disappeared. But just now, Yu Chen's desire to fight suddenly made her wake up: her existence was a drag on him, if it weren't for her, maybe Yu Chen would have rushed into the bandit group's nest and killed all sides, right?

Thinking like this, she casually continued: "You just let go of the trial, I will definitely not trouble you." ”

Yu Chen was immersed in the fantasy of the upcoming confrontation, and did not notice the subtle change in the girl's tone, only smiled and nodded: "Then let's set off?" ”

"Let's go!"

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

"It seems that there are a lot fewer people coming this year than last year." A man in white sat lightly on a finger-thick branch, and said to the man in white who was also sitting on the branch next to him, his tone was full of complaints, "The boss has robbed too hard over the years, and everyone is reluctant to come." ”

Although the other person was also sitting, his sitting posture was much more leisurely than that of the person who spoke just now, as if there was not a fragile branch under him, but a chaise longe, and even the tone of his voice was lazy and had little strength: "How can we live if we don't rob a little harder?" The competition in this area is so fierce, we don't have a fixed cave house, and we will be killed by others if we don't pay attention. ”

"Tsk, if you want to say that the people in the Wolf Tooth Pavilion are too ruthless, how can anyone kill the fat sheep, isn't this cutting off their own way back? Sure enough, it's a group of crazy people who can only kill, their brains are full of paste, and they never want to kill anything but kill. ”

"Those people are not robbers at all, can you expect them to come by the rules? Not snatching all the fat sheep is already very face-saving for us. ”

"It's a rat poop that's broken......"

"Shhhh Someone approached, it seemed to be a sword cultivator! ”

Before the words fell, the two of them disappeared from their places at the same time, but the branches carrying the two of them did not even shake slightly, as if they were missing two clumps of catkins.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Standing on Yu Chen's flying sword, Li Qingyu hugged his waist from behind him, and the two flew through the air at a speed that was neither fast nor slow, avoiding some tall trees from time to time, looking very relaxed, but both of them knew that their nerves had been tense, for fear that someone would suddenly rush out to rob, and if they couldn't react, they would definitely be injured.

Suddenly, Li Qingyu hugged Yu Chen's arm and tightened: "Let's land, I feel the fluctuation of spiritual power, not far ahead." ”

Yu Chen paused and slowly descended.

Although they have only just entered this mountain, according to the information they have received, they have already entered the sphere of influence of the bandit spiritualists, and flying in the sky is tantamount to being a live target for people, and descending to the earth is the best way to deal with it.

As soon as she landed, Li Qingyu dropped the words "Someone is coming, you be careful" and disappeared in place, Yu Chen didn't have time to pay attention to where she was hiding, holding a sword in one hand, nervously paying attention to the surrounding environment.

All of a sudden, the air seemed to be a little heavier.
