Chapter 1130: The Fierce Bandits Have Arrived

Chapter 1130: Chapter 1130: The Fierce Bandits Have Arrived

Bandits of this kind would sometimes even deliberately target the Yin and Yang Sect’s "flying ships" to loot.

Because they were wary of these fierce bandits, every once in a while, the elder from the Yin and Yang Sect standing at the forefront of the flying ship would steer the ship to change course, avoiding a straight path.

As a result, safety was greatly enhanced.

Of course, this didn’t mean they were completely without risk.

Sometimes, bad luck meant anything could happen.

Time quietly passed by.

Another half a month went by, and the flying ship had already covered half the distance, only needing another half a month to reach the "Inner Land."

Seeing that half the journey had passed without incident, the two elders of the Yin and Yang Sect breathed a sigh of relief.

However, before they could fully catch their breath, their expressions changed abruptly, and they turned their gaze in the direction the flying ship was heading.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Piercing whistling sounds came from ahead of the flying ship, getting closer and closer.

This was also the root cause of the dramatic change in color on the faces of the two elders from the Yin and Yang Sect.

"Bandits!"

Amid flashes of lightning, the two elders from the Yin and Yang Sect exchanged glances and blurted out in unison.

Their voices weren’t deliberately suppressed and sounded unusually loud in the quiet flying ship, startling most of the people awake.

These awakened individuals were initially confused, but as they came to their senses, their complexions changed, "What?! Band... bandits?!"

Bandits!

Had they encountered bandits on the Weak Water River?

They had heard of the bandits on the Weak Water River before, who were much fiercer than ordinary bandits from the Inner and Outer Lands, and some were even existences at the Martial Emperor Realm!

Quickly, the awakened passengers turned to look ahead of the flying ship and saw several small black dots rapidly increasing in size, charging straight at them.

"Hm?"

Fill Bear was also awakened by the commotion and when he realized what was happening, his face turned grave as well.

"We are on the Yin and Yang Sect’s ’flying ship’; surely the bandits wouldn’t dare provoke us?"

"Both elders are at the Martial Emperor Realm, even if they came to provoke us, it might not be us who end up at a disadvantage."

"It’s not easy to cross the Weak Water River once, if we encounter bandits, it would be quite the full experience."

Whispers spread among many passengers.

These individuals, experiencing their first flight across the Weak Water River, had full confidence in the two elders from the Yin and Yang Sect and didn’t think anything would happen to them.

Now, they were actually somewhat excited, looking forward to witnessing a scene where the two elders from the Yin and Yang Sect slaughtered and repelled the bandits.

"Hmph! You’re really naive."

Hearing the words of these greenhorns, some with more than one crossing of the Weak Water River sneered, "Haven’t you noticed the change in the elders’ complexion? Do you think those bandits can’t tell that we’re on a Yin and Yang Sect’s flying ship?"

"The bandits on the Weak Water River are all shrewd... Do you think they would make a move without confidence?"

As this person finished speaking, all the awakened passengers on the flying ship turned their attention to the two elders from the Yin and Yang Sect.

When they saw the unpleasant expressions on the faces of the two elders from the Yin and Yang Sect, they changed their complexion once again, realizing that the bandits ahead were indeed ill-intentioned.

"Even the faces of the two elders from the Yin and Yang Sect have changed; they clearly aren’t confident in dealing with these bandits... What should we do?"

"I don’t want to die! I don’t want to die!"

"Why did I ever think of going to the ’Inner Land’? Now, I’m about to lose my life here."

Suddenly, the entire flying ship descended into chaos, with most people showing terror, as if doomsday had arrived.

Amidst such a noisy environment, even those who were deep in cultivation were awakened.

Among them were Wyatt Barnes, Winnie Romero, and the old man sitting not far from the three, the one who had kindly warned Wyatt beside the Weak Water River earlier.

"Bandits? Even the two elders from the Yin and Yang Sect aren’t sure?"

Before long, including Wyatt, a group of people who had just been startled awake learned of the perilous situation they were in.

"Young man, it seems we are doomed here today."

The old man looked at Wyatt with a mournful expression and spoke.

Wyatt’s eyes flashed, but he said nothing, looking at the front of the flying ship first.

With one glance, he saw seven ’small flying ships’ howling towards them, arriving in front of, behind, and around their flying ship, completely encircling it.

"Friends from the Yin and Yang Sect, listen... Stop the flying ship immediately! Otherwise, we will destroy both the ship and its passengers!"

Just then, a loud voice came from the small flying ship at the front, its tone filled with coldness, as if coming from an ice cavern, causing a shudder to the heart.

"Don’t! Please, don’t!"

Instantly, the flying ship of the Yin and Yang Sect was thrown into further turmoil.

"Hmph!"

A cold snort came through, silencing the noisy scene; it was from one of the Yin and Yang Sect elders at the front, who began to control the flying ship.

In a moment, the speed of the flying ship decreased until it came to a steady stop.

The airship had just steadied itself when it once again went into a free fall, plummeting down, startling many of its passengers into a change of countenance.

Only when the airship finally ceased its descent did their expressions relax.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

...

Once the airship stabilized, a series of rapid whooshing noises could be heard as figures clad in black outfits appeared at the front, rear, and on both sides of the airship. This group included both the elderly and middle-aged.

"It’s you again!"

Just as the passengers aboard the airship braced themselves for danger, two elders from the Yin and Yang Sect’s expressions shifted dramatically as they cried out almost simultaneously.

At the words of the two Yin and Yang Sect elders, many on the airship breathed a sigh of relief.

It was clear from the elders’ exclamations that they had encountered these bandits before, and since the two elders were still alive, it meant these bandits did not have the ability to kill them.

Wyatt Barnes’ brows quirked up, taking an intrigued look at the scene unfolding before him.

He was rather curious.

Why did these two elders from the Yin and Yang Sect recognize this group of bandits?

"The two elders, it has been half a year since we last met... I must say, we really are fated," said an old man in black, who stood at the forefront of the bandits facing the airship. He glanced at the two Yin and Yang Sect elders with a faint smile.

"Who is fated with you!"

The complexions of the two Yin and Yang Sect elders were not pleasant to look at.

"Half a year ago, the three of us fought against the two elders and, while we held the upper hand, had we continued, we might have killed the two of you. However, we would have also suffered losses on our side."

As if sensing the confusion of the people aboard the Yin and Yang Sect airship, the old man spoke lightly, "That time, we came to an agreement: you gave us a thousand top-grade original stones, and we left of our own accord."

"This time, I am not going to be exorbitant... How about still a thousand top-grade original stones?"

After the old man in black finished his speech, all looked toward the two elders of the Yin and Yang Sect.

By now, everyone had understood why the two elders of the Yin and Yang Sect had encountered these bandits before and yet survived.

It turned out it was because they had paid a ’toll’.

As if to reinforce the leading old man in black’s words, two potent auras suddenly burst forth from the other two old men beside him, oppressive enough to make most aboard the airship struggle to breathe.

"Martial Emperor level fighters!"

Immediately, except for Wyatt Barnes and Winnie Romero, everyone else aboard the airship changed color.

"And they are not ordinary Martial Emperor level fighters!"

Among them, there were a few with discerning eyes, and their expressions were especially grim.

The complexions of the two Yin and Yang Sect elders were worsening by the second, but neither had responded to the bandit leader’s proposal. Instead, both of their gazes inadvertently fell upon a young man dressed in purple at the rear of the airship.

To be exact, they were focused on Wyatt Barnes.

For a brief moment, the bandit leader also looked over at Wyatt Barnes with interest, a sharp glint visible in his eyes.

"What are the two elders looking at me for? If you can avoid disaster by spending some money, why struggle to the death over it?"

Seeing the two elders of the Yin and Yang Sect looking his way, Wyatt Barnes smiled wryly, "Our group of about seventy people spent thirty top-grade original stones each to ride this airship, totaling two thousand top-grade original stones."

"A thousand top-grade original stones are just half of what you’ve collected for this trip."

Wyatt Barnes declared in one breath.

His words garnered the approval of most aboard the airship, who nodded in agreement, deeply relating to what he had said.

"You... you..."

The two elders of the Yin and Yang Sect intended to discuss with Wyatt Barnes the possibility of joining forces against the bandits, but they were taken aback by his statement and were so agitated they were almost bursting with rage.

Though they did not believe that Wyatt Barnes and his companions were stronger than them.

However, since Wyatt Barnes and his companions possessed the strength to annihilate the ’Gold-swallowing Organization,’ joining forces with them might actually turn the tables against the band of bandits.

What they never expected was for Wyatt Barnes to be so ’spineless’.

The leader of the bandits, who initially regarded Wyatt Barnes warily.

At such a juncture, a person who could draw the attention of both Yin and Yang Sect elders was presumably no ordinary character.

But after hearing Wyatt Barnes’s words, he could not help but let out a hearty laugh.

"Haha... The young fellow understands how things work! There’s truth in the saying ’A wise man submits to circumstances’. The two elders should really take a lesson from this young fellow," remarked the bandit chief. At the end of his statement, he cast a meaningful glance at the two Yin and Yang Sect elders.

The glances made them feel as though they were about to vomit blood!

"Since I’m so understanding, perhaps you could give us a discount? How about taking fifty less top-grade original stones?" Wyatt Barnes looked at the bandit chief with a smile and asked.

"How dare you!"

For a moment, the expressions of the surrounding bandits changed as they shouted in anger, "Kid, you dare to bargain with our chief... Do you have a death wish?"

Just as the bandits were becoming enraged, the bandit chief raised his hand, quieting them down.

"Interesting, interesting."

The bandit chief and Wyatt Barnes locked eyes for a while; the smile that had previously vanished from the leader’s face reappeared, "Then I’ll take fifty less top-grade original stones in consideration of you, young friend!"

"Thank you."

Wyatt Barnes nodded, then closed his eyes once again, no longer paying attention to his surroundings. It was unclear whether he was resting or cultivating.
