Shen Yuan Ring

Ji Daoyi whispered, "Sister Yueyue, it seems they aren't the bandits we're looking for. But I have a feeling the Sanhe Gang they mentioned might be."

Wang Yueyue nodded in agreement. She also found the Sanhe Gang suspicious. The fact that these people were resorting to highway robbery to join the Sanhe Gang suggested that they weren't exactly good people either.

Wang Yueyue turned to Ji Daoyi and the others and said, "They're in your hands now. You don't need to go too far, just subdue them. Ask the Sanhe Gang about it later."

As soon as Wang Yueyue finished speaking, Wang Dan shot away.

"There's no need for everyone to help with this meager amount. My cultivation level is the lowest, so leave this small matter to me!"

In less than ten seconds, the four burly men collapsed to the ground, writhing in pain and crying out in agony.

Then Wang Dan clapped his hands and said, "Done!"

Ji Xiaohu stepped forward and patted Wang Dan on the shoulder, complaining, "Leave one for me next time. Look at me, I haven't even had a chance to make a move since last time. You've taken all the chances to show off."

Ji Daoyi smiled and said, "There will be plenty of opportunities. There are dozens of bandits, enough to keep you busy. The bandit leader will be handed over to you. I have high hopes for you."

Upon hearing this, Ji Xiaohu's momentum immediately diminished. "Brother Dao, please stop joking with me. That's the Blood Refining Realm Perfection stage, while I'm only at the Marrow Refining Realm."

Just as the group was chatting, Wang Yueyue suddenly displayed her domineering aura, and the group that was rolling on the ground and groaning immediately fell silent.

"If you can still move, that means you're still alive. Stop howling like ghosts. Otherwise, I wouldn't mind making you silent forever!"

"Tell us, what's the deal with the Sanhe Gang? If you satisfy us, we might be willing to let you go!"

Upon hearing that they had been released, the one-eyed man stared at the group in disbelief: "Really...really?"

"Of course, if you're hiding even the slightest thing, I don't mind crippling your third leg first!!" Wang Yueyue glanced at their genitals!

Not only did the four people on the ground feel a chill in their lower bodies, but Ji Daoyi and Wang Dan also shivered involuntarily. Ji Xiaohu was unaware of the situation, but the two of them were eyewitnesses!

One-Eyed Dragon and the others were so frightened that they quickly recounted the entire story of the Sanhe Gang, one after another!

The statements from several people corroborated the information regarding the mission issued by the Inner Court.

Ji Daoyi has already determined that the Sanhe Gang is their target this time!

To get these people to do the right thing, Wang Yueyue threatened them, "If you ever encounter a robbery or other dishonest behavior again, I'll cripple your third leg and make you unable to take care of yourselves!"

"I'll never do it again! We'll definitely be good people and never do this kind of robbery again!"

"get out!"

Upon hearing this, the robbers disregarded their injuries and limped away.

"No wonder the Sanhe Gang is so hard to wipe out! So that's why! They've been recruiting ordinary people as peripheral members, and to become a peripheral member, you have to successfully rob someone once!"

"We need to deal with the Sanhe Gang as soon as possible, otherwise, if things continue like this, the number of bandits will only increase!"

"Let's go. We'll take down this stronghold now, and then use it as a base to wipe out their main base as well."

Sanhe Village,

The entire village looked dilapidated, with most houses being thatched huts and only a few scattered households using mud-brick houses.

The village roads were riddled with potholes, making it difficult for horse-drawn carriages and oxcarts to pass.

As Ji Daoyi traveled along, he discovered that the farmland around Sanhe Village had been abandoned and was hardly cultivated.

"Brother Dao, is there no one left in my Sanhe Village? Look at these wastelands, it looks like no one has cultivated them for a long time."

Ji Daoyi nodded. "That's possible. Otherwise, how could it have become a stronghold for bandits? Or perhaps the original villagers here have already been wiped out by these bandits."

“They deserve to die. They’re worse than animals. They can even lay hands on these unarmed people. We must eliminate these inhuman bastards and stop them from causing further harm.”

Sun Puyue cautioned, "We should all be careful, lest we fall into someone's trap like we did in Yi Village. This time, all of us are here, so we don't want to be wiped out in one fell swoop."

"Don't worry, I won't give them a chance."

"That's right, it's only because Dao Ge and I weren't with you last time that the village chief wouldn't have been able to successfully drug you," Ji Xiaohu said proudly, sounding like he was showing off.

In order to search for Sanhe Village more quickly, Ji Daoyi divided the five people into three groups of two, with the aim of determining the location of the bandits.

"Remember, we must remain as concealed as possible. We should not take the initiative to attack before we encounter any danger, so as not to alert the enemy."

"Yes"

"Let's get started! Meet here in twenty minutes."

Each group is responsible for a specific area. Ji Daoyi is in a group and is responsible for the central area of ​​the village. Wang Yueyue has completely stayed out of it. She will not take action unless Ji Daoyi and his group encounter danger.

Sanhe Village is not large, and Ji Daoyi did not go into every house to check. He only checked for signs of human activity outside the houses. If there were no signs, it meant that there were no residents.

Since there would definitely be many people moving around in the bandit's stronghold, there would be no sign of people moving around outside the room.

Twenty minutes passed.

The five returned one after another. Ji Daoyi was the first to report his findings. Subsequently, Ji Xiaohu and Wang Dan's group found the same thing: not only was there no one there, but the houses were also in a state of disrepair, and the courtyards were overgrown with weeds.

Ji Zihan smiled slightly, "It seems that only we have gained something."

"Stop keeping me in suspense and tell me quickly, have you found the bandits?"

"We found them. They're not far from the river, and there are quite a few of them. However, most of them are ordinary people, and there's only one cultivator, whose cultivation level is only at the Skin Refining Realm. When we arrived, they were still carrying things onto the small boat on the riverbank."

"Are they trying to escape? Or are they planning to transport something out of the country? Do you think they might head to the location of the Sanhe Gang's stronghold?"

"It's not impossible. Let's leave this base untouched for now, follow them, and see where they're going to send the goods."

After discussion, the five decided that Ji Xiaohu would stay behind to clear out the remaining bandits at the stronghold, while the others would follow the cargo. Ji Xiaohu would then rejoin them based on the markers along the way after completing his mission.

bandit stronghold,

"I never imagined their stronghold had so much stuff to move, enough supplies for two whole small boats. How many people have they robbed, how many families have they ruined?"

"Don't worry, everything will be over after today. Xiao Hu, before you deal with them, interrogate them first and see if you can get any useful information."
