Chapter 46: Encountering Bandits Again

It turns out that Wang Hao is a disciple of the Huanxi Sect, which is an evil sect. The person who founded this sect intended to utilize the characteristics of dual cultivation between men and women so that the cultivation of both men and women can be improved rapidly.

But as the sect developed, it gradually went astray. Some people discovered that dual cultivation could not only increase their cultivation level, but also deprive the other party of their vitality and increase their own lifespan.

As a result, many disciples of Huanxi Sect began to capture people from the world of immortal cultivation and the secular world to practice dual cultivation. Those who practiced dual cultivation were forcibly deprived of their vitality and essence by the other party, and died in a horrible manner.

This caused dissatisfaction among many sects, and they were jointly wiped out 20 years ago. Many disciples were killed, and only a few remained.

After reading the introduction, Zhang Chen also had a complicated expression. It seemed that Sima Feng's family was really most likely murdered by these remaining disciples of the Huanxi Sect.

When Sima Feng learned this information, his face turned red and he clenched his fists.

"Happy Sect, I swear to kill you all."

The next morning, Zhang Chen was practicing on his bed. Li Yingnan knocked on the door and said:

"Master, my father has heard the news. Please go to the front hall."

Zhang Chen opened his eyes, got off the bed, and opened the door. Looking at Li Yingnan, who was dressed very elegantly, he smiled and said:

"Don't call me Master anymore. Call me Senior Brother from now on."

Zhang Chen called Sima Feng and went to the front hall together, where Li Qian was waiting.

Seeing Zhang Chen and Sima Feng arriving, he hurried over and welcomed Zhang Chen and Sima Feng into the restaurant, and started talking while they ate.

Li Qian arranged two servants to hold a huge map with vivid locations drawn on it, and red circles were drawn in many places.

"Masters, please look, these red circles are the locations where the bandits attacked. The darker the color, the more recent it happened." Li Qian stood up and introduced them to the two of them.

Zhang Chen and Sima Feng looked at the circle on the map, frowning, not knowing how to start. They looked at Li Qian, hoping he could give them some advice.

Li Qian saw Zhang Chen and the other's reactions and knew what they meant. He quickly expressed his thoughts.

"Masters, please look, the places attacked by these horse bandits are all relatively close to the north, and these trade routes are attacked the most. So I speculate that the horse bandits' lair should be in this area." Li Qian said as he drew an area on the map.

"In that case, let's set off now." Zhang Chen nodded, agreeing with Li Qian's analysis.

Zhang Chen and Sima Feng set off riding the fast horses and maps prepared by Li Qian for them.

"Brother Sima, don't we feel like we are traveling around the world with a sword in hand?" Zhang Chen said to Sima Feng while riding a horse and looking at the scenery.

When Zhang Chen came out, he had already asked Li Qian to prepare several sets of clothes. Now the two of them were dressed like knights, with swords hanging around their waists.

"Stop joking and take out the map. There were so many forks in the road just now. Don't take the wrong one." Sima Feng reached out to Zhang Chen and asked for the map.

Zhang Chen threw the map to Sima Feng and observed the surrounding situation. They had been walking for a day and were getting closer and closer to the area Li Qian mentioned.

"According to the map, if we go another hundred miles forward we will reach the area Li Qian mentioned," Sima Feng said to Zhang Chen while looking at the map.

"Do you have any plans?" Sima Feng rode his horse to Zhang Chen's side.

"No, we can only take it one step at a time." Zhang Chen said, looking ahead.

Zhang Chen was still quite worried about this mission. If the sect was alarmed, it meant that the people in the secular world could no longer handle it. Not knowing the specific situation of the opponent made Zhang Chen feel uneasy.

At night, Zhang Chen and Sima Feng let the horses go and let them graze on their own. Zhang Chen took out the cracked spirit sword from his storage bag and studied it. He found that the spirit sword operated in a similar way to the spirit film he had arranged.

The spirit sword itself is hollow, with special holes to input spiritual energy, then detonate the spiritual energy and push the spirit sword out to attack the opponent. Since the spiritual energy is detonated inside the spirit sword each time, the number of times the spirit sword can be used is limited.

Zhang Chen looked at the magic sword in his hand. It was obvious that it had been used many times and was almost reaching its limit. Once the limit was exceeded, the magic sword would shatter and become completely useless.

"It looks like I can't try out its power." Zhang Chen put away the magic sword and prepared to use it as his secret weapon.

Zhang Chen had already divided Wang Hao's things with Sima Feng. Since Sima Feng had no spiritual energy, Zhang Chen took the skills and the spiritual weapon. The spiritual stones and elixirs were divided equally between them, and the mace was given to Sima Feng.

Sima Feng was practicing with a mace, which weighed 200 jin, just right for Sima Feng to swing. Sima Feng could lift objects weighing more than 1,000 jin with his hands, and if he swung the mace with all his strength, it could reach a force of more than 2,000 jin. If Sima Feng had used this mace to attack Wang Hao, he would have beaten him half to death with one blow.

At dawn, the two continued to set off, getting closer and closer to the location on the map. Zhang Chen also became more cautious. At noon, looking at the map, the wild boar forest should be ahead. It was already in the area divided by Li Qian.

The two continued to walk forward, and suddenly heard the sound of many people in front of them. They rode their horses to see that it was a caravan with more than 60 people, more than 30 of whom were guards, all holding steel knives and riding tall horses, with quivers and bows and arrows hanging on both sides of the horses.

Among the remaining thirty people, there were women, children, and old people. This puzzled Zhang Chen. Caravans usually consisted of adult men, so why were there old people and children?

When the guards saw that there were only Zhang Chen and the other person, their tense expressions relaxed.

Zhang Chen approached them and started chatting with them, only to find out that they were not transporting goods but moving house.

"Brother Sima, I think we should follow them. Seeing them like this, it will be easy to attract bandits." Zhang Chen said, looking at the convoy in front of him.

Sima Feng looked over, nodded and said, "It's better than us looking for it aimlessly."

So Zhang Chen and the other person stayed at the back of the caravan, walking at a leisurely pace. After walking for two hours, everyone in the caravan was a little tired.

Zhang Chen carefully observed the situation on both sides. He found that the sight became shorter and shorter as he walked. It turned out that he passed a sunken ground, which was only about 20 meters wide in the middle, with steep slopes of 6 or 7 meters high on both sides and a forest behind. He could not see clearly what was going on inside.

Suddenly, Zhang Chen noticed that the trees on the steep slopes on both sides were shaking slightly, which was definitely not caused by the wind. Listening carefully, it seemed like the sound of a bowstring being pulled.

"Oh no, there are ambushes on both sides, Brother Sima, be careful." Zhang Chen's face changed and he quickly said to Sima Feng.

Then he discussed with Sima Feng and rushed towards the steep slopes on both sides. At this moment, countless sharp arrows shot out from the woods on both sides of the hillside. Many guards were shot and fell off their horses. Suddenly, screams continued, and the convoy was immediately in chaos. The shouts of men, the screams of women and the cries of children mixed together.

At this time, Zhang Chen had just rushed to the bottom of the steep slope. Looking at the guards who had suffered heavy casualties, he was extremely angry. He used his body skills and instantly climbed up the steep slope. He saw dozens of horse bandits lying in ambush. They were still shirtless, holding bows and arrows in their hands, with steel knives inserted in front of them, and were putting arrows in preparation for the next wave of attacks.

Zhang Chen used his skills and condensed a golden needle in his hand, which pierced the throats of the two horse bandits in front of him. The two horse bandits covered their necks and screamed in fear, but no sound came out.

The other bandits were all surprised to see Zhang Chen approaching, especially when Zhang Chen condensed the golden needle and killed several people in a row. They were all horrified. They had seen this kind of method in the village. This was the ability of a cultivator. It was not something they could contend with.

"All of you shoot him with arrows. He is alone and he is also a mortal. He will not survive if you shoot him." One of the leaders said sternly.

When the other bandits heard this, they turned their arrows and shot at Zhang Chen. Zhang Chen used his body skills and rushed to the left at high speed, and the arrows all shot at the place where Zhang Chen had just stood.

Zhang Chen condensed a fireball and shot it straight at the bandits. The fireball exploded in the bandits, causing them to scream. Zhang Chen condensed golden needles and shot them at the bandits. The bandits kept falling down, like wolves among a flock of sheep. The bandits became lambs to be slaughtered and had no power to resist.

The remaining bandits immediately lost their fighting spirit and fled in all directions, running deep into the woods.

But their speed was no match for Zhang Chen. Zhang Chen followed behind them, and people kept falling. In the end, only the youngest bandit was left, who looked only about 17 or 18 years old. He did not beg for mercy. Zhang Chen did not see fear in his eyes, only indifference. He quietly waited for Zhang Chen's butcher knife, as if he had accepted his fate.

Zhang Chen thought he would have to ask him the location of his lair, so he kept him.

Zhang Chen took him to the convoy. Listening to Sima Feng, there were continuous screams of bandits coming from the woods, but they only screamed once and then stopped abruptly.

After waiting for half an hour, Sima Feng jumped down from the steep slope. Looking at the blood on Sima Feng's body, one knew that those horse bandits must have died miserably.

Seeing Sima Feng's pale face, Zhang Chen said quickly: "Brother Sima, don't think too much. They are all unforgivable people who should have died long ago."

Zhang Chen knew that this was probably Sima Feng's first time killing someone, so he must be feeling a little uncomfortable, so he quickly comforted him.
