The sun went down with many villagers still smiling from molar to molar.
After all they witnessed, they felt that Boss Chu could do anything.
Maybe it was the words from those in Wenji town or the miracles they saw Boss Chu create.
Either way, they seemed to have forgotten their initial panic... Especially after seeing their village Chief Yangku also relaxed.
Flame bandits?
They sneered. They were waiting for these bandits here!
As suggested, many crowded in either the village chief's residence or the times of elders like Cerberus.
They sat and lay on the ground with no one stepping out.
Throughout these past few days, this was how they spent their nights.
Those who cultivated moved about the village protecting them at night while they stayed together in groups.
And at the moment, they were divided up into 3 of the largest homes in Hyu village.
Sure. It was way overcrowded. But they didn't mind.
Of course, they also chose these sites, taking into consideration their escape route and plan.
Though they knew it would be meaningless when in the face of absolute strength, it was still worth a shot.
This was how their nights were.
They are and sleep very close to one another, fearing for their lives.
But today, unlike the other times, they were very chilled.
.
Chu Che and Old Fru met Yangku and the test, making plans for the night.
"Young master, I overheard one of the bandit guards say they would attack Hyu village tonight." Old Fru reported.
It took some time finding out.
But after running across the dense forest, he was finally able to. Locate the Bandit fortress that was well-positioned on a cliff.
The illusion tactics were good because the fortress was carved from cliff rocks.
And the few overgrown greenery and natural advantages also did a marvelous job.
No wonder Yangku and the rest had no clue where the fortress was
But for him, the moment he scanned the scene, he could also feel the strengths of many within the fort.
The only reason he didn't continue was that he feared that maybe an even more powerful bandit was around.
During the day, he found the fortress.
"What about their strengths?"
"So far, I can only detect the strongest being in the 6th Dan....though I did sense an even powerful person of roughly the arm strength as myself in there. Noticing this, I dared not pry in anymore."
Old Fru recalled how he quickly left the scene when the person opened his eyes in the fortress.
He was sure that such a person would check their surroundings.
But with the shielding artifact he had, he should've been able to cool that person into overthinking things.
All in all, he and Chu Che should be able to handle any who come over tonight.
Chu Che nodded in satisfaction before turning his attention to Yangku. "Tonight, you'll need to act your part. Don't worry; we'll be protecting you from the shadows."
He just wanted all bandits together in one place.
It would save him time.
'If I don't want any other bandits to bother Hyu village, then I have to destroy the bandit fortress too.' Chu Che thought.
Yangku, Cerberus, and a few other cultivates nodded in understanding before watching Boss Chu and Old Fru vanish into thin air.
The group looked at each other tactfully, pretending to be calm.
"Heh... Khanji... I will be here to watch you mess this operation up. Do you think I will ever allow you to climb too high above me?'
Khanji squinted his eyes dangerously.
It was the bastard from Number's side.
Tonight's operation was too vital for their long-running plan.
They needed the Hyu village for their ultimate plan.
With the Big 10 sent out on various missions, Khanji felt that this was the time for him to prove himself and maybe become a member of the big 10... Changing the name to the big 11.
For years, he had been working under number 3. But now, if he could conquer not only Hyu village but also the other nearby villages just as planned, he had a hunch that the leader would give him a big fat promotion.
Deep within him, he felt that soon, he should be able to break through, entering the early stage of the 7th Dan!
This was his time.
All good things were coming to him at once!
Khanji tightened his chest while trying to calm his excitement.
"Everyone, don't forget the leader's orders. We are to capture or Kill Village Chief Yangku, his son, and any you sense out of the mortal realm!"
Right!
Many subconsciously nodded.
Hyu village would be their expanded territory.
Those who could cultivate would be taken into the fortress as slaves or killed, while the ordinary mortals would remain here, working for them.
They are all needed for the cause!
.
Swish! Swish!
In the vast forest, the many shadows moved like the wind.
The night sky was dark, with countless stars in sight.
1 2, 3...
It didn't take long for them to reach the village.
With an evil hint in his eyes, Khanji took his blade out ruthlessly.
Good.
They, the Flame bandits, were here!
