"Boss, business has been so slow lately." A man with a pointed chin and monkey cheeks said to the burly man in front of him.
The man went up to the guy with a pointed face and kicked him, cursing, "I don't need you to remind me."
The man's name was Pan Sang, nicknamed Master Pan San, and he was also the biggest bandit leader in the area of dozens of miles, and his strength had even reached the peak of Guanli Realm. The man with a pointed chin and monkey cheeks was his aide-de-camp, named Shatuo, and although his strength was only at the initial stage of Guanli Realm, he was still quite smart.
Pan Sang had been doing pretty well in the neighborhood. He would leave small business to his subordinates, and would offer "tributes" to big businesses as long as he showed up. He would also go to some villages from time to time to rob a few women, so his life was pretty comfortable.
However, recently, some young horse thief chopped off the child of a big shot in the Chamber of Commerce, and told everyone about it as if it was something worth bragging about. As a result, the Chamber of Commerce, which used to always spend money to keep safe in front of the horse thieves, began to fight back against them desperately. Not only did this make his business very bad, but even many of his brothers died, which made Pan Sang very upset.
Just when Pan Sang was having a headache, a younger brother suddenly rushed in in a panic and reported to him: "Boss, the brothers only saw a small cavalry team coming towards us."
"How many people?" Pan Sang was very happy when he heard his men say that a small horse team had arrived. He hadn't opened his business for many days and was itching to get started.
"There were more than 20 people and six carriages. I don't know what the specific cargo was, but they were taking the official road. Judging from how careful they were, it shouldn't be anything bad."
"Official road? That's a bit troublesome." Pan Sang rubbed his temples, and his eyebrows gathered together again. They had already offended the Chamber of Commerce, and now if they offended the government again, it would be troublesome.
"Boss, you are confused." Shato walked up again with a flattering look on his face.
"Oh? Tell me what you have in mind?" Pan Sang knew that his subordinate had many tricks up his sleeve, so he wanted to hear what he had in mind.
"Boss, the government in Jiutian City is just a tool used by the powerful to control the civilians. Ordinary small horse thieves don't dare to provoke us, but we are the largest horse thief group in this area. How can the government go against us for a small horse team of more than 20 people?"
"Besides, Boss, we haven't opened for business for several days. Although we still have some food in stock, if we continue to be so cowardly, I'm afraid our brothers will really starve."
After hearing what Shato said, Pan Sang pondered for a moment and said to Shato: "Bring forty brothers and follow me." Pan Sang decided to be more cautious this time and take action on his own, trying not to waste time or leave any handles.
At this time, Long Xiangtian and his companions were traveling non-stop on the official road.
"We are quite lucky. Not long after we got on the official road, we met a small horse team. It made things a lot easier." Cui Li sighed.
As soon as Long Xiangtian and his companions got on the official road, they saw a small horse team. The leader of the team was a small businessman. Seeing that Long Xiangtian and his companions were ordinary people with no cultivation, he knew that they were ordinary people from a nearby village who were going to sell some animal furs.
Since it was on the way anyway, the merchant invited them into his horse team and provided them with food. He even gave them some food when he knew that the two teams had to separate, which made Cui Li and his friends very grateful.
"Yes, we will reach Jiutian City today, and we can relax then." Cui Jinhua said happily, "I will take you to a restaurant in the city. The food there is even more delicious than the game at home. Oh, I almost forgot, Mo Wen, you are a city dweller, so you must go to this kind of restaurant often."
Long Xiangtian nodded and dealt with it. He often went to restaurants, but not the ones here, but those in Tianming City. To be honest, he still didn't know whether he was in the foreign land or returned to the Tenglong Empire. It seemed that he had to find a way to ask after he arrived in Jiutian City.
"This is the pony team you fucking mentioned. It's small, really fucking small." Pan Sang, who was standing on the cliff, kicked his subordinate angrily. He thought it was a caravan, but these people were obviously ordinary people from some village, driving a broken carriage. It was unlikely that they would have any precious things.
"Boss, this, I..." I was also confused. I clearly saw a lot of people and five carriages, so how come it suddenly became just a few people and a broken carriage
"Boss, shall we retreat?" Shatuo asked Pan Sang cautiously, fearing that Pan Sang would get angry and punish him as well.
"Leave, I've been holding my anger for days. It's their bad luck to meet them. You wait here, I'll come back after I kill them." Pan Sang was also very angry about this matter, and planned to vent his anger on these unlucky country bumpkins. He rode a horse, holding his machete, and ran down the mountain.
When Cui Li and his companions were chatting enthusiastically, they suddenly saw a big man riding a horse and running towards them aggressively. They reacted quickly and took out their weapons from the carriage, and blocked Long Xiangtian and Cui Hao behind them.
"Damn it, why is my luck so bad that I ran into horse thieves." Cui Li cursed.
"It's okay, he's alone. Even if he's riding a horse, he won't be our match as long as we are careful. We just need to protect Haozi and Mo Wen." Cui Jinhua analyzed rationally.
However, Long Xiangtian looked gloomily at Pan Sang on his horse, and his heart sank suddenly.
Seeing that the people in front of him still had the intention of resisting, Pan Sang immediately released all his momentum and forced Cui Li and the others to lie on the ground in a crushing manner. Only Long Xiangtian was still standing there.
Although Long Xiangtian was still standing there, Pan Sang was too lazy to doubt anything at this time. After all, in his eyes, he could not detect any mysterious energy on Long Xiangtian. Pan Sang immediately decided to kill the remaining few people first, and then study this strange boy carefully.
At this time, the hearts of the people lying on the ground were cold. The person in front of them was actually the legendary cultivator, but how could the cultivator be interested in them? However, they also knew that since they had encountered a cultivator, only death was waiting for them. Their eyes were full of despair and even guilt. After all, in their eyes, Long Xiangtian was also implicated by them.
Suddenly, Long Xiangtian spoke up: "Wait a minute, do you know the mysterious man?"
