Myriad Daos of the Heaven

The Land of Stray Bandits was mostly high mountains and vast forests.

Moreover, deep within these mountains, the Six Paths Spiritual Energy was even richer, making it a treasured land for cultivation.

Therefore, the mountain peaks were contested by many.

There, one could find Spirit Medicines, treasures, and all manner of Exotic Treasures.

The Spiritual Qi of the Six Paths Illusion Realm was also wondrous; its effects were consistent for all living beings of the Six Paths Realm.

Thus, even though this was a remote region known as the Land of Stray Bandits, many Cultivators still came.

They cultivated here or searched the mountains for Spirit Medicines and Exotic Treasures.

In short, there were far too many Cultivators in the Six Paths Illusion Realm, but the truly High Level cultivation resources had already been seized by major powers.

Those Loose Cultivators of the Six Paths Illusion Realm could only come to this remote land to seek their fortunes.

Besides, there were indeed many mysterious places here. Anyone who entered and managed to come out alive would reap great rewards.

People still frequently came and went from these mountain peaks.

However, Jiang Jichen had been walking on this mountain path for a long time without seeing a single soul.

Just then, his Divine Thought stirred, and a cold smile touched his lips.

'No wonder this place is deserted. So, it's a bandit road!'

The moment this thought crossed Jiang Jichen's mind, the strange grasses on both sides of the path began to rustle.

Immediately after, more than ten bandits exuding ferocious auras surged out and surrounded him.

Among them, three were dressed strangely, clearly different from the others.

One wore a shirt, pants, and hat, each a different color.

One was dressed head-to-toe in black, with skin as dark as charcoal.

One was dressed head-to-toe in white, with skin as fair and smooth as snow.

The one in the multi-colored clothes spoke first, "I planted this tree!"

The charcoal-skinned man shouted next, "I paved this road!"

The fair-skinned man in white said the third line, "Your life for your money!"

Finally, the three of them declared in unison: "Your money for your life!"

Their voices echoed through the mountains, reverberating in all directions.

Well, Jiang Jichen was genuinely stunned by the scene before him.

'To think that even bandits can be so unique. This truly is the Land of Stray Bandits.'

They were on a completely different level from the bandits in the Yunshui City Suburbs.

Seeing Jiang Jichen's dumbfounded expression...

The three men threw their heads back and laughed, looking extremely pleased and satisfied.

"See? With a routine like this, we can intimidate this little guy with words alone!"

"Watch, he'll obediently hand over all his valuables now."

The white-clothed man spoke.

The three of them were Cultivators at the Initial Stage of Nascent Soul Fusion, and the followers behind them were at the Spirit Infant Perfection Realm.

Therefore, when facing Jiang Jichen, who was only at the Late-Stage Spirit Infant Realm, they could afford to be dismissive.

"Hmph, we were supposed to find a Cultivator at the Mid-stage Nascent Soul Realm to test our skills on. It's a shame we only got a Junior Cultivator from the Spirit Infant Stage."

The charcoal man also spoke with regret.

"Hey, kid, are you scared stupid? Didn't you hear what we just said?"

"Leave everything you have on you. Hmm, we'll let you keep a pair of underwear. Now scram!"

The man in the tricolored clothes saw that Jiang Jichen still looked dazed.

He assumed the young man was too frightened to have snapped out of it yet, so he offered a reminder.

Jiang Jichen was indeed frightened!

'Are these three guys here to rob me, or to be comedians?'

Finally, Jiang Jichen calmed himself and decided it was necessary to teach them a lesson.

In the past, if Jiang Jichen had encountered bandits, he would have slaughtered them all without hesitation.

But while these bandits were trying to rob him, they intended to take his wealth, not his life.

They weren't like other mountain bandits who would kill everyone, sparing neither the old, the young, nor the women, showing no humanity whatsoever.

So, facing this group of bandits, Jiang Jichen felt no Killing Intent.

Jiang Jichen looked at the three bizarre bandits and said, "Are you sure you only want to leave me with a pair of underwear?"

The three bizarre bandits looked at Jiang Jichen as if he were an idiot. "Looks like this little guy really is scared stupid. He can't even understand plain words anymore!"

"Keep dawdling, and we won't even leave you the underwear! You can streak your way out of here!"

The three bizarre bandits' words made the ten followers behind them roar with laughter.

Jiang Jichen couldn't help but smile too. He suddenly stared at the group of bandits and said, "In that case..."

At that moment, his voice suddenly changed. A powerful aura erupted from him, and he became incredibly imposing.

"This is a robbery! Hand over all your valuables! You're only allowed to keep one pair of underwear! And remember: your life for your money, your money for your life!"

Jiang Jichen's sudden change left all the bandits stunned for a moment.

Before they could react, Jiang Jichen struck like lightning. His figure flickered a few times, and everyone was knocked to the ground, their cultivation sealed.

In the end, he alone stood domineeringly in the middle of the mountain path, looking down coldly at the bandits sprawled on the ground.

'What's going on?'

'Aren't we the bandits here?'

'Aren't we the ones doing the robbing?'

'So how did it turn into us getting robbed instead?'

The group of mountain bandits was completely bewildered.

And they had been instantly taken down by this Late-Stage Spirit Infant Realm Cultivator.

In other words, he could have killed them all in an instant.

At that moment, realization dawned, and a chill crept into their hearts.

"Wait, stop! W-we'll give you our money for our lives!"

The three bizarre bandits shouted at the same time.

Jiang Jichen couldn't be bothered to make things difficult for them and asked directly, "Speak. Which bandit village are you from?"

"Hero, spare us! We're from Luochen Village, on this mountain!"

"We never meant to harm you, Hero! I have old parents and young children to support! I was forced onto this path of no return!"

"Please let us go! We'll do anything you ask!"

Before Jiang Jichen could say anything, the three bizarre bandits were already wailing.

Clearly, they were the type who clung to life and feared death.

'Luochen Village?'

Jiang Jichen was taken aback when he heard the name.

He could hardly believe it was the name of a bandit village.

It sounded so poetic and picturesque.

Jiang Jichen realized that everything from the bandits themselves to the name of their village seemed different from the mountain bandits he was used to.

A sense of curiosity stirred within him.

"Take me to your village!"

Jiang Jichen commanded.

The three bizarre bandits nodded like bobbleheads, not showing the slightest bit of refusal.

Jiang Jichen even saw a flash of joy in their eyes.

'Clearly, something's fishy!'

But Jiang Jichen didn't mind. He didn't think a small bandit village could have any truly powerful figures.

Besides, he had so many trump cards and methods up his sleeve; he was confident he could protect himself no matter the situation.

In the end, the three bizarre bandits led Jiang Jichen deeper into the massive mountain.

"Hero, we're lucky to have met a reasonable person like you. If it had been any other Cultivator, we would have been no match and would've all been killed by now."

"Yes, for that alone, we'll definitely put in a good word for you with the Village Chief later!"

No longer sensing any Killing Intent from Jiang Jichen, the three bizarre bandits finally relaxed.

And being natural chatterboxes, they started talking to Jiang Jichen.

Regardless of whether Jiang Jichen responded, they could talk by themselves for a long time.

The three bizarre bandits also introduced themselves.

The bandit in the tricolored clothes was named Shi San;

The pitch-black fellow was named Big Black;

And the fair-skinned man in white was named Little Bai.

Ugh... 'These three really live up to their names!'
