Chapter 521: I love you
In the Purple Cloud Temple, there indeed were the head Sect Leaders of the five major branches of the Emei sect, but aside from these five Sect Leaders, the rest were bandits from the central Sichuan forests!
What are these bandits? The term ’forest heroes’ used in martial arts novels refers to them.
Of course, among the bandits, there might be a few heroic figures, but most of them were robbers, who after committing murder and breaking the law, and finding themselves desperate, turned to banditry.
During the tumultuous years of war, bandit lairs were also called forests, but many of these bandits were a scourge on the common people, for what could they eat or drink if they didn’t prey on them?
In this day and age, there were still bandits; these people were mostly martial artists, and the reason they were called bandits was that they were a group of well-fed scoundrels who, having no other choice, burrowed into mouse holes, or were on the wanted list.
They could only live in dark corners, not daring to take a car, plane, go to the mall, or lead a normal life, so most either lived in the mountains or hid their true names and led ordinary lives.
However, even if they managed to live an ordinary life, they were uneasy at heart.
When something happened in central Sichuan, a man arrived—a very powerful man, who somehow found them and then enticed them with prospects, and they became his followers.
The young man in the Purple Cloud Temple was now their leader. Although they didn’t know exactly what they were supposed to do, this young man gave them a large sum of money and promised them many benefits.
The head figures of the five branches of Emei actually did not want to submit to this young man, but he was powerful and brutal, so for the sake of their homes and their disciples, they had no choice but to yield and obey his orders.
