Xiang Shaoyun was in no rush to go look for the Redwolf Bandits right away. He wouldn't act before making a plan. First, he had to figure out the true strength of the Redwolf Bandits, how many Transformation Realm cultivators they had, and the cultivation level of their strongest member. Then, he had to prepare some supplies that could help treat his injuries and help him in attacking and defending.

His first stop was the largest herb store in town. After buying some healing pills, he asked the shopkeeper about the Redwolf Bandits. From the shopkeeper, he found that the strongest person in the Redwolf Bandits was the leader, who was about seventh- or eighth-stage Transformation Realm, followed by the two vice leaders, who were also late-stage Transformation Realm cultivators. They also had no fewer than 10 Transformation Realm underlings under them.

Because of that, the Green Bamboo Academy was unable to do anything to the Redwolf Bandits, allowing the residents of the town to suffer the bandits' tyranny. With his confidence boosted by the information he gained, Xiang Shaoyun was finally ready to head to the Redwolf Bandits' location.

Since they have the numbers, I will only stand a chance if I take them out one at a time. I will have to be cautious and not act rashly, Xiang Shaoyun pondered.

He then dressed up in a luxurious outfit and pretended to be a rich young master. He believed that he could bait the Redwolf Bandits this way. But of course, a luxurious outfit alone was not enough. He also needed an eye-catching mount. Otherwise, his disguise would feel incomplete.

Thus, Xiang Shaoyun bought a demonic horse before leaving town. The horse was at the Minor Demon level, and its horsepower was much better than a common horse's. Only with a horse like this would he be able to showcase the ident.i.ty of a rich young master.

Mounted on the horse, he headed toward the Redwolf Bandit stronghold.

The Redwolf Bandits had their stronghold within a valley at a location easy to defend and hard to attack. As for the valley itself, it was part of the main route used by the traveling merchants moving between the various towns. This was also the main route leading to the Green Bamboo Town.

There were several hundred members in the Redwolf Bandits, a local tyrant that many hated but couldn't do anything to. Over time, the route they occupied had become increasingly desolate. Today, Xiang Shaoyun arrived all by himself, looking very much like a solitary hero. But in the eyes of the Redwolf Bandits, he was nothing more than a fat lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

A signal was already sent out from one of the Redwolf Bandits sentries, notifying their companions that a fat prey had arrived. One of them was a one-eyed man. Looking toward Xiang Shaoyun from afar, disdain covered his face as he said, ”Where did this reckless kid come from? He dares to venture into our turf all by himself? Just send two brothers out there to slaughter him. Let's see how fat this prey is.”

Thus, two bandits left their camp. When Xiang Shaoyun saw two bandits coming toward him, he immediately fled. The two thought he was scared, so they gave chase. After a while, the two were lured to a hidden place where they were subsequently killed.

”They actually look down on me so much that they only send two n.o.bodies to deal with me?” Xiang Shaoyun grumbled.

Once again, he rode around on his mount in a carefree manner, showing himself to the bandits. When the sentry saw Xiang Shaoyun reappearing safe and sound, he immediately reported the news to the one-eyed man.

”Hmph. That kid is being too c.o.c.ky. Send a few more brothers to lop off his head,” said the one-eyed man. He was clearly offended by Xiang Shaoyun's actions.

Thus, seven bandits left the camp and headed straight toward Xiang Shaoyun. This time, the bandits weren't comprised of only Basic Realm cultivators. An Astral Realm cultivator was leading the team. Evidently, they were no longer looking down on Xiang Shaoyun.

Once again, Xiang Shaoyun fled at the sight of them.

”Where are you running to?” the leader of the group yelled before shooting an arrow at Xiang Shaoyun.
