Warren's Rise and Fall

When they arrived at the village, the scene before them was like a tragic picture of hell. Thick black smoke, like the tentacles of a demon, spread wantonly over the village, dyeing the originally peaceful and tranquil sky into a chaos. Some of the once warm houses had now been devoured by the ruthless fire, leaving only ruins struggling in the flames. The ground was covered with shocking bloodstains, as if it was the silent cry of the earth. The cries and screams of the villagers echoed in the air, and each one was like a sharp knife, piercing straight into their hearts, making people feel heartbroken.

Wang Lunwo's face turned extremely ugly, and his originally resolute face was now covered with anger and regret. He gritted his teeth fiercely, and squeezed out a low and resentful word between his teeth: "Damn, we are still a step too late. These bandits actually used the strategy of luring the tiger away from the mountain." His hands unconsciously clenched into fists, and the joints turned white due to the force.

Zhang Sunmingzhi's eyes flashed with angry flames, as if the flames wanted to burn all evil to ashes. He stared at the tragic scene in front of him, his voice cold and resolute: "We must make these bandits pay the price. They have committed unforgivable crimes, we can't let them go." His heart was filled with hatred for the bandits, and this hatred surged in his chest like a tide.

Sima Yan'er's eyes were full of tears, and the crystal tears rolled down her beautiful and pale cheeks. She looked at the tragic scene in front of her, and her heart was filled with pain. She hated herself for not discovering the bandits' conspiracy earlier, and hated herself for not being able to protect these innocent villagers. Her delicate body trembled slightly, like a flower swaying in the cold wind.

Wang Lunwo took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He knew that now was not the time to blame himself. They needed to take action as soon as possible. Every second of delay could mean the loss of a life. They had to save the villagers who were still alive, and find the traces of the bandits and catch them all in one fell swoop.

They began to search for survivors in the village. Every time they passed a ruin, their hearts felt like they were hit by a heavy hammer. In a ruin that had been burned by a fire, they found the village chief. The village chief was covered in dust and blood. His breath was weak, but he was still alive. Sima Yan'er quickly took out the Xiao Huan Dan from her storage bag. It was a precious pill that emitted a faint light. She carefully fed the pill to the village chief, and then used her spiritual power to heal the village chief's injuries. The village chief's eyes slowly opened, and he looked at Wang Lunwo and others with sadness in his eyes.

"Dead, all dead." This was the first sentence the village chief said when he woke up. His voice was weak and hoarse, as if it was a lament from the depths of his soul.

Wang Lunwo said gently: "Village chief, what happened?" His eyes were full of concern and anxiety, and he was eager to know what happened.

"Originally, when we got the news that you were going to suppress the bandits, the whole village was very happy and was preparing to kill chickens and cattle to celebrate for you. We all thought that good days were coming and those bandits were finally going to be eliminated. But who could have thought that when we were so happy, the bandits suddenly came. They were like a group of demons, killing any man in the village they saw. The scene was simply horrible. When they saw women, they forcibly dragged them into the house and raped them, and some of them were even teenage girls. They were simply beasts." Due to the violent emotional fluctuations, the village chief coughed a few times and coughed up a mouthful of blood. His eyes were full of pain and despair, as if he was recalling a terrible nightmare.

"Village chief, don't get excited. We will definitely rescue the kidnapped woman." Wang Lunwo said firmly. His words were loud and clear, as if he was making a solemn oath to the village chief.

"I believe you. I'm dying. I know it. I'm just holding on. Wang Lunwo, you have to promise me that you will wipe out the twelve bandits in the Yunan Mountains, okay?" The village chief looked at Wang Lunwo seriously, his eyes filled with endless expectations and instructions.

Wang Lunwo met the village chief's gaze and said heavily, "Okay." This word seemed to carry a heavy weight. It was his promise to the village chief and his responsibility to the innocent villagers on this land.

After hearing this, the village chief seemed to lose all his energy and fell into a deep sleep in Wang Lunwo's arms.

"Village Chief!" Wang Lunwo, Zhangsun Mingzhi, and Sima Yan'er spoke at the same time. Their voices were filled with grief and reluctance.

Wang Lunwo's eyes were red, and his heart was filled with anger and grief. "Brother Changsun, I plan to spend some time here this time. I hope I can live up to the trust of the village chief." His voice was low and firm.

Changsun Mingzhi felt Wang Lunwo's inner anger. He patted Wang Lunwo on the shoulder and said, "Brother, let's not say anything. Yan'er and I will accompany you to clean up the twelve bandits in the Yunan Mountains to prevent other villages from encountering the same thing." His eyes were full of firmness and determination.

"Okay." Wang Lunwo looked at Changsun Mingzhi gratefully.

After the three of them buried the village chief, they followed the horse tracks left by the bandits. They had only one thought in mind, which was to catch up with the bandits as soon as possible and rescue the kidnapped girls. They followed the tracks left by the bandits, and their speed became faster and faster. Their figures were like three flashes of lightning, shuttling through the mountains and forests. The anger in their hearts became more and more intense, and it seemed that the anger was about to burn their reason to ashes. They vowed to make these bandits receive the punishment they deserved.

After chasing for a while, they finally found the bandits. The bandits were taking the looted property and some women from the village and preparing to flee. The women's faces were full of fear and despair, and their eyes were filled with tears, as if they were silently calling for help. Wang Lunwo and others rushed forward without hesitation.

Wang Lunwo once again mobilized the spiritual power in his body, and his hands quickly formed seals. As he moved, the air around him was filled with thick water vapor. The water vapor gradually condensed and formed a series of water blades. The water blades flashed with cold light and contained powerful spiritual power. Wang Lunwo shouted loudly, and the water blades slashed towards the bandits. The bandits panicked and dodged. The water blades slashed on the ground, splashing a cloud of dust.

Zhang Sun Mingzhi also used a powerful spell. A flame appeared in his hand, and it burned like a roaring fire dragon. He threw the flame at the bandits, and the flame exploded among the bandits, and screams suddenly rang out.

Sima Yan'er was taking care of the villagers who were abducted by the bandits and ensuring their safety. Her eyes were full of tenderness and care, and she gently comforted the frightened women.

One of the one-eyed bandits was holding a mace, which was gleaming with cold light. "I am Murong Chaoyang, the eleventh of the twelve bandits in the Yunan Mountains. Please teach me." He raised the mace and smashed it towards Wang Lunwo frantically. His movements were very ferocious, like a mad beast.

Wang Lunwo dodged the attack of the one-eyed bandit easily. His eyes were full of contempt, "Come on, I'm looking for you." He quickly formed seals with his hands, and a huge water curtain rose in front of him. The one-eyed bandit's mace hit the water curtain, splashing water. Wang Lunwo took the opportunity to launch a counterattack. He passed through the water curtain and condensed a water sword in his hand. The water sword exuded a cold breath. He stabbed the one-eyed bandit in the chest. The one-eyed bandit was unable to dodge and was stabbed by the water sword. He fell to the ground and died.

Under the fierce attack of Wang Lunwo and Zhangsun Mingzhi, the bandits gradually couldn't hold out. Their numbers were getting smaller and smaller, and finally only a few bandits were still resisting.

Wang Lunwo said angrily: "You damned bandits, today is your death day." A huge water ball condensed in his hand, which contained powerful spiritual power. He threw the water ball at the bandits, and the water ball exploded among the bandits, killing them all.

The women who were abducted were saved. They looked at Wang Lunwo and his men with gratitude in their eyes. They all knelt down and kowtowed to Wang Lunwo and his men to express their gratitude. Wang Lunwo and his men also felt a little relieved in their hearts. They finally avenged the people in the village.

However, they also know that this incident has sounded a wake-up call for them. They can no longer be complacent because of a temporary victory. They need to be more cautious in facing every enemy. Their road to immortality is still long, and there are many challenges waiting for them. They must constantly improve their strength and protect those innocent people.

Wang Lunwo looked at Zhangsun Mingzhi and Sima Yan'er and said seriously, "We have learned a lesson from this incident. We must always be vigilant and not let such tragedies happen again. Especially this kind of tactic of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west to lure the tiger away from the mountain."

Changsun Mingzhi and Sima Yan'er both nodded, their eyes full of determination. They knew that their mission was not yet completed, they had to move forward, they had to eliminate the twelve bandits in the Yunan Mountains.

However, they also understood that these twelve bandits had been entrenched in the Yunan Mountains for a long time and had deep roots. It was not easy to catch them all in one fell swoop. They needed to make a more detailed plan to understand the distribution of these bandits, their activity patterns, and their strengths and weaknesses.
