The elites of Green Bamboo Academy set off, heading toward the Redwolf Bandit stronghold. It caused a sensation within the town, and a lot of unaffiliated cultivators were attracted into their ranks.
”The Redwolf Bandits have committed numerous heinous crimes. People like us with hot blood flowing in our veins shall naturally partake in their extermination.”
”I am a person with nothing left. Since the Redwolf Bandits had failed to kill me back then, I shall join in today as well. Just killing one of them is enough, and anything more than that will be considered a reward for me.”
”They were the ones who had killed my parents. The day has come for me to take my revenge!”
”Kill! Let us follow the princ.i.p.al and elders of the Green Bamboo Academy and slay those sc.u.ms!”
It seemed the people of the town really hated the bandits. The resentment they had kept bottled up against the bandits erupted, and in a short while, a group several hundred strong was formed, heading toward the Redwolf Bandit stronghold.
Not even Xiang Shaoyun had expected things to go this way. He only planned to borrow the Green Bamboo Academy's strength to keep the Redwolf Bandits in check while he dealt with the stronger bandits. But now, it would seem he no longer needed to worry about the regular bandits interrupting his battle with their leader. While the people from the Green Bamboo Town were heading toward the Redwolf Bandit stronghold, the bandits received news of Mo Lang's and his group's deaths.
”What? Mo Lang is dead? Not possible!” shouted the leader of Redwolf Bandits, Bai Fan. ”Tell me, who did it! Is it that old b.a.s.t.a.r.d from the Green Bamboo Academy? I'm going to slaughter his entire family for this!”
The bandit reporting the news remained on his knees and fearfully told Bai Fan everything that had happened.
”It's the same little b.a.s.t.a.r.d? So he really is at the Green Bamboo Town!” Bai Fan fumed. He then commanded, ”Gather all our brothers. Today, we shall drown the Green Bamboo Town in blood.”
”Head, calm down!” persuaded a beautiful woman standing beside Bai Fan.
The beautiful woman looked to be about 30 years old. She had a medium build, looked incredibly seductive with all the curves at the right places, and was dressed in an extremely revealing fas.h.i.+on. She practically radiated s.e.x appeal. She was Mo Mo, the second head of the Redwolf Bandits, and was also known as Lady Red Scorpion. She might look harmless, but she was a vicious and merciless individual.
”Third brother is dead. How can I stay calm?” Bai Fan said.
”Since he is able to kill third brother, it is clear he is not much weaker than us. And with us being at the Green Bamboo Town, we will be fighting on their turf. The Green Bamboo Academy will not stay out of this. If we go rashly, we might not be able to even leave if we wanted to,” Mo Mo a.n.a.lyzed.
Bai Fan finally calmed down after listening to her a.n.a.lysis. ”What should we do, then? Are we going to let that brat off just like that?”
”Of course not. But we have to plan our next action carefully,” said Mo Mo after thinking about it for a bit.
But before they had the chance to think of anything, they received a report that a large army was heading toward them from the Green Bamboo Town.
”How brave of them. Has the Green Bamboo Town forgotten about our fangs?” Bai Fan said before he lifted his saber and rushed outside.
Mo Mo followed closely behind him and said, ”Head, they definitely come prepared. Let us stay on the defensive. After all, a good defense can be offensive in itself. We can get the men to prepare the catapults. Any who dare to come near the stronghold shall be turned into mincemeat.”
”You're right, second sister. We shall go on the defensive,” agreed Bai Fan.
Thus, the alarm was sounded in the stronghold as the bandits gathered and prepared for battle. Meanwhile, Xiang Shaoyun and the Green Bamboo Town members had just arrived at the vicinity of the Redwolf Bandit stronghold.
”Everyone, stop here,” said the princ.i.p.al.
Everyone obeyed.
