The Proof of the Heavens Begins with The Legend of the Condor Heroes

"Huh!" After killing Song Bao in just a few moves, the crazy aura on Fang Hao's body calmed down a little.

His muscles were red and his eyes were bloodshot, which were the aftereffects of being possessed by a demon.

Although the Holy Fire Token was powerful, it also consumed a lot of energy from the practitioner. In just a short while, the little internal energy that Fang Hao had just recovered was almost completely consumed again.

Fortunately, the results are encouraging.

When the bandits saw their vicious and brutal boss being killed by Fang Haoru like killing a chicken or a dog, they lost their will to fight and fled on horseback.

Upon seeing this, Fang Hao led the Ming Cult members, yamen runners and able-bodied refugees on the scene, and together they took advantage of the situation to attack the bandits, successfully seizing half of the horses of the Dahengshan bandits. Even the "Winged Tiger" Luo Fei was killed by the brothers Wu Zhen and Wu Liang of the Ruijin Banner.

After forcing back the remaining Dahengshan horse bandits, everyone returned to the granary again. After winning battles in a row, everyone couldn't help but regard Fang Hao as the backbone.

Fang Hao met everyone's gazes, and after a moment's silence, he said, "Brothers, we have killed corrupt officials and defeated bandits together, so we can be considered to be sharing weal and woe. However, I'm afraid that the Yuan court's army to suppress the rebellion is already on the way."

"The Yuan court is powerful, and I am afraid I will have to flee in the future. Let's divide the property and food that these bandits have robbed equally. We will say goodbye now, and let's leave the future to fate!"

As soon as Fang Hao finished speaking, the Wu Liang brothers took the lead in expressing their opinions: "Master Fang Xiang, the world is dark, where is the pure land? If you don't abandon me, my two brothers will follow you, and from now on we will share happiness and difficulties together!"

"That's right! Master Fang Xiang, we will follow you from now on!" said other Ming Cult members.

Fang Hao had expected the performance of the Ming Cult members. After all, they were all members of the Ming Cult. Fang Hao's performance just now also deeply impressed him. It was completely reasonable for them to follow Fang Hao from then on.

However, many of the yamen runners who originally belonged to Mingguang County and the refugees who were captured by the bandits as soldiers began to hesitate.

Seeing this, Fang Hao said nonchalantly, "I am a straightforward person and will never do anything like abandoning someone after they have done their work. I also know that everyone has a wife, children, and elders, so they have many concerns. Why don't we divide these properties equally and part ways in peace?"

As soon as he said this, many yamen runners and refugees looked at each other, and seeing that Fang Hao had no intention of stopping them, they really left with a lot of gold and silver valuables!
With someone taking the lead, many people chose to leave. Of the hundred or so people who had just followed Fang Hao to fight, only forty or fifty left at once, which was nearly half of the total.

At this moment, a refugee who was struggling with his gold and silver treasures suddenly knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, "My parents are dead, my hometown is gone, what use is there for me to get all this money, Master Fang Xiang, I respect you as a man, from today on, I, Tang Shengzong, am willing to follow you and let you command me!"

Tang Shengzong's words were so powerful that many refugees who were still hesitating knelt down and said, "We are willing to follow Master Fang Xiang, and we will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

After hearing this, the members of the Ming Cult who had already decided to follow Fang Hao also clasped their fists and saluted Fang Hao, saying, "We swear to follow Master Fang until death!"

Looking at the seventy or so people left on the field, Fang Hao knew that they were the first group of people who helped him make his fortune.

Although most of these people came from the bottom of society, a hero is not judged by his origin. Only good people emerge from the grassroots. Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was born a beggar.

"Okay! Brothers, as long as Fang is still alive, I will drive out the Tartars and rebuild our country!" Fang Hao said.

"Master, what should we do now?" Wu Liang asked.

"Song Bao, Luo Fei and Tian Heng, the three leaders of the horse bandits in Daheng Mountain, are all dead. We can take advantage of the situation to capture Daheng Mountain and gather our strength for the coming attack." Fang Hao told everyone about his plan.

To sum it up, it means "build high walls, store up food, and slowly claim the throne." During the chaotic times at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the earlier someone defected, the more difficult it would be for him to succeed.

Zhou Ziwang and Han Shantong were both like this, but it was precisely because of these people who rose up and carried the anti-Yuan banner that Zhu Yuanzhang, Chen Youliang, Zhang Shicheng and others had the opportunity to develop quietly. And this is also Fang Hao's current plan, because he knows that as long as there are people like Ruyang King Chahan Temur, the Yuan court will not be doomed.

It was five days later when Fang Hao and his companions, escorting gold, silver, food and fodder, arrived at Daheng Mountain.

"Master, speed is of the essence in war. If we travel at such a slow pace, I'm afraid that by the time we reach the bandit's lair in Daheng Mountain, they will be ready for battle." Wu Liang said worriedly.

"Brother Wu Liang, you don't understand this. Once Song Bao dies, these bandits will become a group of scattered sand. But if an external enemy attacks the village at this time, the bandits will be forced to unite and face the enemy together under pressure."

Fang Hao said calmly: "But if there is no external enemy to disturb us, these horse bandits will sooner or later be unable to restrain themselves, fight for power and profit, and fall into internal strife. When the time comes, we will attack the mountain stronghold and will be able to capture them all in one fell swoop!"

Fang Hao's remarks fully reveal the nature of the bandits, who are all desperate criminals who seek to harm others for their own benefit.

Sure enough, when Fang Hao and others arrived at Dahengshan leisurely, this mountain stronghold composed entirely of horse bandits had been completely thrown into chaos.

Without the suppression of their leader Song Bao, some of the bandits fought each other for the position of leader, while others robbed treasures and sneaked down the mountain.

By the time Fang Hao and his companions crossed the dangerous Hongshi Gorge and arrived at the Dahengshan stronghold, the stronghold was already in a mess.

"Masters, it was him...it was him who killed the leader of Song Village!" said a bandit who recognized Fang Hao.

"Good boy, you actually come here to die!" said the bandit leader who had never seen Fang Hao in action.

"Brothers, follow me and kill him!" As he said that, more than a dozen bandits holding knives and swords attacked Fang Hao.

Fang Hao didn't even have the heart to take action against this mob. Han Gou'er, Wu Liang, Wu Zhen, Tang Shengzong and others under his command rushed forward, and the two sides fought each other. The hall of the mountain stronghold was suddenly filled with shouts of killing.

A few blind horse bandits came with knives to chop Fang Hao, but Fang Hao moved his feet and tilted his body, and the two long knives missed each other.

Then, Fang Hao raised and released his shoulder blades, and suddenly jumped out like a snake out of a cave, hitting the wrists of the two horse bandits. While knocking the long knives out of their hands, he also knocked the two men out.

The two people who flew out happened to fall on several people who attacked from the other side. At once, five or six horse bandits fell to the ground in a mess.

Lu Bo, Han Gou'er and others took the opportunity to finish off the bandits and killed them.

Fang Hao walked slowly towards the main seat in the hall. Wherever he passed, he waved his hand and flicked his wrist, and cold stars transformed from bone-piercing nails shot out and killed the horse bandits one by one.

By the time Fang Hao sat down in the main seat, there was no longer a single standing bandit in the hall.

"We pay our respects to the incense master!" Everyone knelt down and bowed to Fang Hao.

Fang Hao said in a clear voice: "From today on, the bandits in Hengshan will no longer exist. Only the Hengshan righteous army will ignite the holy fire of light, hoping that one day, we can drive out the Tartars and restore our Han territory!"

In the second year of traveling through the Yitian world, Fang Hao and his 76 followers set up the "Hengshan Righteous Army" in the Dahengshan stronghold, restraining their edge and developing in a low-key manner. (End of this chapter)
