Sister-in-law: I’m really not a fool anymore

"Alright! Stop arguing, everyone. I didn't gather you here to listen to your quarrels; I've called you here to discuss how to solve this problem!"

At the head of the table, a man with a square face shouted at the crowd below, and the entire scene instantly fell silent!

This is none other than the bandit leader, Bai Shuo!
Three hundred years ago, they began to rise in the Immortal Realm, then drifted to the chaotic area, where they gradually gathered a group of desperados!
Later, by chance, when the Qingyuan Sect collapsed, they seized the main peak where the Qingyuan Sect headquarters was located, as well as the territory within a radius of several hundred miles.

The other sects in the Immortal Realm, although they also coveted the legacy of the Qingyuan Sect, did not take action against Bai Shuo and his group because they were worried about fighting each other.

Invisibly, a delicate balance was formed!

Over the centuries, apart from Jiang Yingda's occasional attacks on bandit hideouts, no other sects have made a move here, allowing Bai Shuo to lead his followers to grow up.

Currently, there are two Nascent Soul Realm experts and more than a dozen Golden Core Realm masters among the entire bandit group.

Such a force is already quite powerful in the Southern Continent of the Immortal Realm, even stronger than the forces of many small sects.

"Chief, if the news is true and Ye Fan has really become the sect master of Qingyuan Sect, we are definitely no match for him. Why don't we surrender?"

"Yes! Surrendering means losing half the battle! We've had enough of living on the run all these years. If we surrender, hand over the Qingyuan Sect's territory, and become affiliated with the Qingyuan Sect, we'll have a sect to belong to, and our future won't be bad!"

"That's right! The Third Master is absolutely right!"

“I agree. This is Qingyuan Sect’s territory. It’s just a matter of us handing it over.”

Surprisingly, quite a few people at the scene expressed their support for surrendering!
"Bullshit! Third brother, it's been a while since we fought, are you scared? How can we expect to have a good life if we surrender? Do you think you can still be as free as you are now after joining the Qingyuan Sect?"

"Let me tell you, those sects have a ton of rules! You can't touch this girl, and you can't rob that rich family! If you make a mistake, you'll be punished. Ask the brothers if they can handle that."

In the crowd, a thin man with a pointed mouth and monkey-like face stood up and shouted at the crowd.

"I can't take it! I refuse to surrender!"

"I also disagree with surrendering. I can't stand those damn rules!"

"The second-in-command is right. If we surrender so easily, they will look down on us!"

The third-in-command was in favor of surrendering, while the second-in-command was against it!

In an instant, the second, third, and fourth leaders formed three factions on the spot!

One faction expressed their firm intention to surrender, while the other faction opposed surrender. The fourth leader's side remained neutral and did not express any particular opinion.

Sitting at the head of the table, Chief Bai Shuo looked at the situation before him with a headache!
"Then let's vote!"

Bai Shuo started out alone, but now he leads so many brothers, and the entire bandit group has grown to several thousand people.

Bai Shuo knew that every decision he made was related to the life and death of his brothers, and he had to be careful.

"Alright! Let's vote!"

The crowd raised their hands to vote, and the result was very clear: those who opposed surrendering still constituted the majority.

"Then there's no need to hesitate any longer, let's prepare to move out! Since they won't surrender, let's raid Jiang Yingda's residence tonight... Even if we can't kill all of Ye Fan's men, we'll at least severely injure them!"

"Yes, Chief! Please assign us the task; we will carry it out without hesitation!"

Jiang Cheng, the second-in-command, was extremely excited and eager to get started!

"It's said that this Ye Fan is a real fat pig in the mortal world; he even got his hands on the Soul Palace's treasure trove! Quite a few people in the Immortal Realm have already started making moves, but they failed. This time, it's a perfect opportunity for us!"

"Brothers, follow me! If we pull off this heist, we'll have a prosperous New Year! Everyone needs high-quality pills to quickly boost their strength!" Roar! Roar! Roar!
At Jiang Cheng's call, the warlike bandits on the scene began to roar.

"Then let the second brother lead the team and prepare to attack Jiang Yingda immediately! Remember, make sure to leave him alive!"

Although most people agreed to fight to the death, as the leader, Bai Shuo still had his own ideas.

Only by capturing some of Ye Fan's men can we gain leverage in negotiations.

Based on the intelligence gathered so far, it's practically impossible for them to wipe out all of Ye Fan's men.

Moreover, given Ye Fan's monstrous strength, they will most likely have to submit in the end, but even if they do, they should try to secure favorable terms.

"Yes! Promise to complete the mission!"

"I'll get ready! Third brother, tonight, you're in charge of reinforcing the defenses at the mountain gate!"

Leader Baek Seok's arrangement was actually very reasonable!
The mountain gate was reinforced with defenses, and men were sent to attack Jiang Yingda.

Unfortunately, bandits are bandits; they are not entirely united.

The meeting had just ended when the third brother arranged for several of his trusted subordinates to descend the mountain from different directions and head ahead of time to the residences of Jiang Yingda, Ye Fan, and the others!

"I hope I made the right choice! Sigh, even if I can't be fully accepted, at least I can make some positive connections first!"

……

In an inn in a nearby town, Ye Fan and Gong Shu had already gone to bed and were cultivating in their cultivation space when Guo Li suddenly woke them up from outside the door.

"Boss, emergency!"

Ye Fan, still wearing his coat, looked at Guo Li with a puzzled expression. "What emergency?"

"We just received a message from several messengers saying that the bandits on the mountain are planning a surprise attack tonight, targeting Uncle Da's residence!"

kindness?
Ye Fan frowned, took the letter from Guo Li's hand, and read it carefully.

"Let's go, gather the brothers, and head over there immediately!"

It's better to believe something is true than to believe it isn't.

Moreover, judging from Ye Fan's judgment, the information conveyed by the third leader of the bandits is mostly true!

snort!
It seems that this bandit group is not entirely united!
Since that's the case, let's try a wait-and-see approach!
This is something Ye Fan excels at!

Everyone was woken up and rushed to the area around Jiang Yingda's house to quickly make arrangements.

Jiang Yingda was slightly stronger, so he was quickly alerted. After seeing Ye Fan and the others' actions and hearing Ye Fan's explanation, Jiang Yingda immediately jumped up, shouting, "Hmph! These bastards actually tried to ambush us! I'll fight them to the death!"

Ye Fan smiled calmly, "Uncle Da, tonight, don't do anything, just stay in your room and sleep! If I'm not mistaken, there are definitely eyes around, don't let them find out!"

When Ye Fan communicated with Jiang Yingda, he was always in a blind spot of the surveillance system.

What Ye Fan needed to do was to catch the attackers off guard and ensure they never returned!

Before I could even reach out to them, they came looking for me first. I'll teach them a lesson then… (End of Chapter)
