Chapter 98: The Smiling Devil Gift

Inside the Dust Valley Sect, the Sect Master had just had a meeting with the clans when he received a message on his Spirit Link.

Without looking at the sender, he knew it was from his son.

When he took out his Spirit Link and read the message, his expression changed.

A solemn expression appeared on his face as he got up on his feet.

’This...’ His expression faltered.

His son had left the Western Region for the Central Region.

With how dangerous the outside region was, he wished to rush to the border and bring him back.

But from the message, he knew his son had already made up his mind. If he tried to bring him back, that would not spell well.

He sighed and shook his head.

’I guess it’s time for him to explore on his own.’

"Be safe."

With that, he left the grand hall with his face etched with worry and expectation.

Could his son develop his business in the other region?

As for the threat in other regions, he knew his son well. He would have prepared very well.

With his son’s wealth, having many powerful Core Refining warriors as his guard would be easy.

.....

....

On the long road that led outside the Western Region, a long caravan was moving slowly.

Each carriage was pulled by the Cloud Chase Horse. Although they looked as if they were moving slowly,

Their speed was fast for a caravan.

After traveling for half a day, they were finally outside the Western Region and it was already past midnight.

Slowly, the caravan came to a stop and the Moon Orb was switched on.

With the Moon Orb switched on, the quiet narrow road was brightened and everyone could see their surroundings.

Mo Jian came out of his carriage to stretch his legs. The sky was dark with no traces of the moon.

"Young Master..."

The old withered man came down from his horse and gave Mo Jian a slight bow.

"How long before we reach the first bandit?" Mo Jian asked.

"In the next two hours, we should reach the first bandit."

"When we’re closer, send your men to kill a few of their men and catch their leader and bring him to me."

"Yes, Young Master..."

With that, the old withered man left and returned to his post.

The servants quickly prepared food with the No-Heat Stove for the group.

Without using a burning fire, the group ate to their fill and was ready to continue their journey.

Quickly, the group was back on the road.

After an hour, in the distance, a tall valley shrouded in a thick forest was eerily quiet.

Among the thick trees and trinkets, five intermediate Core Refining warriors were moving swiftly between the trees.

At the heart of the forest were many makeshift tents and standing around the tents were guards dozing off.

Whoosh!

All the guards in the perimeter were killed in one swift attack and without making a noise. The five intermediate Core Refining warriors proceeded to the biggest tent.

Bang!

A deafening sound mixed with bone-crushing echoed in the still night.

"We’re under attack." A voice screamed!

Inside the boss’s tent, a female Core Refining warrior held the bandit boss by the neck and dragged him out.

Outside, the bandits had woken up from their slumber and were attacking the four intruders.

The four Core Refining warriors’ swords were like deadly vipers, ripping the bandits’ lives.

"T-This is bad...."

"They are all Core Refining Warriors!"

All the bandits trembled in fear, their backs drenched in cold sweat. Their boss was the only Core Refining Warrior among them.

Just then, the woman brought out their boss and said coldly, "We are not here to kill you. Our Young Master needs to speak with your boss. But if you dare raise your weapon again..."

She did not complete her statement as she dragged the unconscious boss leader out of the area.

All the bandits froze as they watched their boss being dragged away.

As for the thought of chasing after them, no one harbored such a thought.

Slowly, the bandits returned to continue their sleep as if nothing had just happened.

Outside the valley, a caravan was approaching at top speed. Just then, their speed slowed down before it came to a stop.

Just then, a group came out of the forest and approached the caravan while dragging an unconscious man with a battered face.

Creak!

Mo Jian came out of his carriage and looked at the unconscious man and creased his brow.

A couple of meters from him, Zhao Tian also came out of his carriage.

"Such a nice pig head..." he muttered with a light smile.

Mo Jian looked at the damn fatty and commanded, "Wake him up."

Pa!

A resounding slap landed on the bandit boss’s face and his eyes flew open with both shock and confusion.

"W-What happened?"

He was just in his tent, enjoying a beautiful dream when he detected an intruder, but before he could react, everything went blank.

Just as he was grappling with what happened, he heard a cold, calm voice.

"Choose. Do you want to die or live?"

The bandit boss raised his head and looked at Mo Jian and did not respond immediately.

His eyes wandered around the caravan and his heart skipped a beat.

"Break his left arm."

Crack!

Ahhhhh.

A miserable scream escaped from his lips as his left arm twisted in an impossible angle, dangling lifelessly on the side.

"What do you choose?"

Mo Jian still wore the same calm smile.

However, to the bandit boss, it was like he was looking at a devil’s smile.

"Young Master, I don’t think he wants to live. Why don’t you just allow them to kill him?" Zhao Tian said with an evil grin.

’Bastard! Who are these people? Why do they have so many Core Refining Warriors?’

’Besides, who was this young man they called Young Master?’

With his thoughts running amok, the crushing sound of his right arm jolted him from the whirlpool of thought and a miserable scream escaped from his mouth.

"Please Young Master, I want to live." he shouted.

"What took you so long to respond? You wouldn’t have had to suffer that pain if you replied to me quickly. Anyway..."

"I heard this area is under your rule?" Mo Jian questioned.

"Ah! Yes, Young Master." the bandit boss responded quickly.

He had already learned his lesson. Any delay meant a part of his body would be broken.

"Good. Do you see this flag?" He pointed to one of the flags around the caravan.

The bandit boss nodded.

"Do you know what you will do?"

He shook his head.

"When you see them, you protect them through your area. If anything happens to them in your area, you will pay with your life."

"Do you understand?"

"Yes, Young Master. I’ll make sure to protect anything that has this flag with my life." the bandit boss responded quickly.

"Good. I know you’re easy to talk to." Mo Jian’s smile deepened. "Give him one No-Heat Stove and one Moon Orb."

With that, Mo Jian returned to his carriage.

Quickly, a servant gave the bandit boss one No-Heat and Moon Orb.

She explained briefly to him how to use them before she rushed back to her carriage.

The bandit boss was stunned, with confusion etched on his face.

Before he could recover from his shock, the caravan had departed.

"What just happened?" he muttered and looked at the two artifacts before him.

This was the first time he had been in such a situation. He thought his life was going to be over, but in a blink,

He was given a gift by that devil.

While the first bandit boss was having a rollercoaster of emotions, the caravan had departed deep into the night.

Quickly, they arrived at the second bandit area. Just like the first bandit boss, he was captured with ease.

After having a nice dialogue with Mo Jian, he was also given a No-Heat Stove and a Moon Orb.

Though his two arms were crushed before he behaved.

Just like that, the caravan traveled through the known dangerous border while capturing the bandit bosses and giving them a gift.

At the last two bandits, one of the bandits had one early Core Refining Warrior and an intermediate one.

They struggled for a few seconds but the result was the same.

The early Core Refining Warrior was killed while the intermediate Core Warrior, who was boss, was taken alive.

His encounter with Mo Jian allowed him to have a change of heart and he received the gift.

For the last bandit, which was the strongest bandit group, they had five Core Refining Warriors among them.

Their boss was a Peak Core Refining Warrior, stage-7, a powerful force in the region.

But under the attack of two Peak Core Refining warriors and five intermediate warriors,

They were easily subdued and their boss was led to the Santa Claus.

His encounter was smooth without seeing the other side of Santa.

With the gift, the caravan departed swiftly, leaving the bandit boss stupefied.

As the day broke, the caravan emerged from the Western Border and entered the Southern Region.

At the edge of the forest that connected both the Western Border and the Southern were a group of merchants that were waiting for daybreak.

When they saw a large caravan coming out of the narrow forest road, all the merchants were stunned.

It was a known secret that the border could not be traveled at night and yet...

The caravan did not have any sign of battle and their guards looked relaxed, not covered in blood.

How could this be?

Who were they to ignore the deadly border threat?

While the merchants were trying to guess the caravan’s identity, the caravan sped off into the distance.

Unknown to Mo Jian, his action would leave a legend in the Southern and Western border.
