Start with a red name

After Tao Bin, Hake and a group of nine people and ten riders came out of the "Little Stone Forest", they rushed towards Tiejian Mountain without delay.

Tao Bin and Scarface Maogou, who was most familiar with the road conditions and had extensive blood refining skills, walked at the front of the team.

Hake's excitement has not subsided yet, and he is sure that he has found the real pillar of life. The experienced blood refiner, Lu Dan, is "guarding" the back two sides of the team on his left and right.

The other five people, no matter whether they were willing or not, could only run forward driven by the galloping Canglan horses.

Everyone felt amazing.

The mounts under his crotch, even those that were visibly old and sick, seemed to have returned to their youth and healthiest time, and ran to the peak performance of their lives.

Originally, considering the overall condition of these Canglan horses, if they wanted to match the speed of those inferior horses, everyone estimated that it would take at least two or three hours to run two hundred miles.

However, as these Canglan horses were galloping at lightning speed, which seemed to squeeze their lives out, after an hour and two quarters of an hour, the bare low hill called Tiejian Mountain was already in sight in the distance.

"arrive."

Mao Gou, who was walking at the front of the team, shouted loudly to remind everyone.

Tao Bin looked at the destination in the distance. He knew that the villa was just behind this low hill.

There was a gleam in his eyes, and he wanted to remind everyone to be careful and alert, to scout the villa first, and to have a basic understanding of the situation there before making a decision.

But the next moment, he heard Mao Gou beside him shouting, "Second Master, look, big brother!"

Tao Bin looked in the direction his finger pointed and saw Cao Ao had flashed out from behind a huge rock at the foot of the hill. He waved at them from a distance, signaling them to hurry over.

Seeing this, Tao Bin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart fell to the ground.

He stopped reminding the others and continued to urge his horse to go faster, but turned his head and said to Mao Gou with a serious face:

"Remember, I am no longer the second in command, and Cao Ao is no longer the eldest brother of the Black Wind Group."

Seeing how serious he was, Mao Gou patted his mouth with his hand and explained, "I just barked it out of habit."

"If you can't get along, then shut your mouth from now on."

Mao Gou was a little embarrassed and muttered, "I was just teasing us, but you took it seriously."

After hearing this, Tao Bin's eyes instantly became as sharp as a knife.

Just when Mao Gou felt scared, he saw Tao Bin suddenly raised his hand towards him.

Mao Gou's heart suddenly tightened, and he subconsciously put his hands to protect his sides to prevent the flying knives from hitting him, and he was ready to roll over and dodge at any time.

In the end, nothing happened, just a false alarm.

Mao Gou was not happy, and said angrily: "You scared me to death... Are you sick?"

Tao Bin slowly withdrew his hand and said, "Remember, watch your mouth."

As he spoke, he ignored his angry expression and rode quickly towards Cao Ao, who was waving at them from a distance.

……

Seeing that all nine people and ten riders had arrived, they even came faster than he had expected.

Cao Ao also breathed a sigh of relief.

He jumped onto the Canglan horse he had found in the villa and led everyone to rush towards the villa without any cover.

Seeing this, Tao Bin, who was following him, had a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Soon, Tao Bin and his companions saw the deserted villa with only sheep and horses leisurely foraging in the grass.

"What about people?"

"You'll know soon."

After passing the pond and avoiding the obstruction of bushes, the wide open space outside the gate of the villa was presented to the group of riders without any obstruction.

After seeing the situation clearly, everyone couldn't help but stare.

At this moment, in this open space, the most eye-catching thing is undoubtedly the two large piles of human bodies neatly placed on the ground.

Yes, not two, but two piles.

There were not too many people among them, but many of them were disabled.

The bandits naturally knew that all the people here were the "old veterans" who were living in this villa in their old age.

In addition, next to this group of people, there was another group with a larger number of people, including men, women, young and old.

At a glance, it was impossible to determine the exact number of people for a moment, but roughly speaking, there were at least two or three hundred people, and they should be the sand people working in this courtyard.

However, these sand people are now neither grazing nor tending the fields. Instead, they are placed on the ground in rows and columns.

The only exception was five women who were sitting together shivering at the edge of the crowd.

Seeing their group coming, his trembling body shook more obviously.

Then, Tao Bin and others immediately heard the crying of a baby.

Then they saw the woman with her back to them quickly press the baby in her arms to her chest, and the baby's crying disappeared instantly, as if its mouth was sealed by something.

The bandits, who were originally confused, finally realized that the five women were actually gathered together breastfeeding their babies.

Some bandits felt inexplicably excited when they saw this scene, and they immediately made noises of "oh oh wow" from their mouths.

Hearing their booing, which was definitely not well-intentioned, the women who gathered together became even more frightened.

I can only hold the children in my arms tighter to stop them from crying.

Suddenly, a fist-sized stone flew out and hit the loudest and most vicious bandit.

The bandit was unable to dodge and was hit on the mouth by a huge rock.

The two front teeth popped out of his mouth in an instant.

The toothless bandit with a mouth full of blood had no time to get angry. He saw the "murderer" Bai Ma lying in front of several women, with his hands on his hips, cursing at him:
"Want to eat? Go back to your mom!

You come here crying and wailing, hoping someone will pity you and feed you a bite?"

At this moment, a voice came from the gate of the villa behind Bai Ma.

"Okay, Bai Ma, let these women bring their children in... and those children under ten years old, also let them go into the yard."

Seeing that all the bandits had arrived within the planned time, their physical and mental states had almost recovered.

By the way, he also improved the "Blood-Draining Hand" from entry level to minor success.

Geng Xuan also took the opportunity to finish his practice of "Heaven and Earth Pillar".

……

When he subdued those sand bandits, he also subdued the sand people.

But he had already understood that the people of Sand, who were living a better and more stable life because of the bandits, would never understand his actions against the bandits as their salvation.

Although they were weak, Geng Xuan believed that even if most of them were submissive, there were still some who had the courage to resist.

This will certainly not have any substantial impact on him, but for them, the consequences will be very serious and may even be fatal.

In order to avoid this situation as much as possible, Geng Xuan simply subdued them as well.

What he didn't expect was that the two would carry out his orders so thoroughly.

Due to their special circumstances, the five women, all of whom were breastfeeding, did not receive "full anesthesia" but only "partial anesthesia". Their legs were unable to move to prevent them from running around, but this did not prevent them from holding their babies or delaying feeding.

He thought that these five people would be kept in the house, but he did not expect that Cao Ao and others would still follow his orders.

Under Bai Ma's arrangement, the five women were arranged together so that they could keep each other company.

Seeing that everything was arranged properly, the team leader just stood there like a wooden stake and ignored them completely.

Cao Ao, who was feeling somewhat bored, took the initiative to run over and wait for the arrival of Tao Bin and others.

Seeing that the captain finally "woke up", Cao Ao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Because the gap is so huge, the thoughts, ideas and actions of this kind of person cannot be understood or interfered with. There is no other way except to learn to accept it.

If you think about it carefully, this is actually a very frustrating thing.

……

Bai Ma personally took the five women back to the villa. When he saw Hake running over, he asked him to take the children under ten years old away from the crowd.

Geng Xuan looked at Cao Ao and asked, "Have you counted the number of these sand bandits and sand people?"

Cao Ao heard this and replied while thinking back:
“There are a total of 45 bandits inside and outside the villa.

Among them, the number of disabled people was the largest, at nineteen.

Eight of them were elderly, six were sick, frail, and had insufficient vitality.

There are only twelve people who are truly healthy and intact, with no apparent problems.

This should be the real guard that Tielang arranged in this villa."

At the beginning, Cao Ao was still very principled and did not say "Sha bandits", but insisted on saying "Sha Gang".

But Geng Xuan was not shaken by his little trick at all. In the end, he took the initiative to make changes.

He understood that if he continued to be so stubborn, he would be the only one who would suffer.

Cao Ao paused, then continued:
“In addition to these 291 sand bandits, there are sand people in this villa.

This includes all the elderly, the weak, women and children.

If we only count the people who can be used as servants, there are about 210 to 220 people."

"Yakuchi?"

"Oh, Dong Guan often recruits men from various tribes and the settlements of the Sand People to work.

For example, going to Chidunyuan to mine, transporting wood and stone raw materials to Canglan Mountain, transporting firewood to the Hanhai Salt Pond to burn salt and make salt, building a garrison camp for the Xuanyou Iron Cavalry, etc.

At each conscription, the number of people would be at least several thousand, and often tens of thousands.

For convenience, each settlement and tribe must report the number of people available for conscription based on its own situation.

There will be Xuanyou Iron Cavalry and people from the 'Dark Night Department' to conduct screening, either openly or covertly.

If the report is truthful, there will be certain tax reductions and the possibility of being conscripted will be lower.

If there is any concealment of information, not only will there be severe penalties, but one will also be the first to be conscripted.

The casualty rate in such a conscription is extremely high, and an entire settlement can be severely damaged in one go.

If it happens two more times, I will collapse.

The number of people available for conscription reported by each settlement was recorded in the conscription register by Dong Guan’s arrangement.”

At this point, Cao Ao paused, made a "joke", and said: "Everyone says that thing is not a record of conscription, but a record of life and death."

Hearing this "joke", Geng Xuan did not laugh. After a moment of silence, he said:

"I see that the physical fitness of these sand people is very good, and many of them are proficient in cultivation.

There were twenty-five people entering the skin refining stage, fourteen reaching the flesh refining stage, five reaching the blood refining stage, and two reaching the bone refining stage.

...Isn't this a little abnormal?"

According to Cao Ao, Tielang did this for the purpose of making money.

But Geng Xuan took a quick look and found that the area of land nourished by this pond was not too large.

The sand people and sand bandits, a total of more than 300 people, have to rely on the output of this land for their livelihood, which is already very tight.

Another side effect of practitioners' better physical fitness is that they consume more food and meat on a daily basis.

And if you want to maintain your cultivation progress, you have to consume some cultivation resources regularly, and the expenditure is even more terrifying.

All in all, this villa doesn't make any money for Tielang, he even has to spend a lot of money on it every year!
Upon hearing this, Cao Ao was stunned for a moment, his eyes filled with contemplation.

After a while, he looked at Geng Xuan and said, "Captain, I roughly know what's going on."

"Oh, tell me."

"The real controller behind this Tiejianshan villa is most likely not Tielang, but a large bandit group." Cao Ao said.

"Why? Is it because the strength of these sand people is abnormal?"

"Is such that……"

As Cao Ao explained, Geng Xuan gradually understood.

What outsiders see and what everyone calls the "Sand Bandit Gang" are actually just the iceberg floating on the sea in the real Sand Bandit system.

Beneath the sea, there is a much larger part hidden.

And this is often the key to determining whether a sand bandit gang is strong or not, and whether its vitality is tenacious or not.

For small-scale bandit gangs that have not yet made a name for themselves.

The members generally come from very diverse backgrounds, and their thoughts are equally diverse.

Even though I know there are many drawbacks here, I am not qualified to complain too much.

As the gang grows bigger, it will naturally seek a more stable and long-term way to survive.

The threshold for joining the group will become higher little by little, and various tests will be added with different names but the same core, which is essentially called "political review" to ensure the loyalty of new members.

But the most loyal ones are always the direct forces that one has personally cultivated.

However, although Dong Guan acquiesced to the limited existence of the Sand Bandits, he knew that they could not be eliminated at all.

Given the vastness of the two states of Xuanyou, he simply could not use his power to fill every inch of land.

However, Dong Guan will give the most resolute blow to this attempt to build a base and establish a stable base.

But for those large-scale sand bandit gangs, will they just stop doing what they do because of Dong Guan’s resolute crackdown?
How can it be!

They will only rack their brains more and show off their talents on this matter.

The Tiejianshan Villa, which nominally belongs to Tielang, the "Sand Bandit Broker", and is tacitly approved by the Sand Bandit group and Dong Guan's forces, is actually most likely the base for a large Sand Bandit group to cultivate their own forces.

It's just a layer of iron wolf skin.

Listening to Cao Ao's explanation, Geng Xuan's eyes swept over the sand people on the ground, and he seemed to be thinking about something.

He pointed out the forty-six people who were lying in the sand people pile but had cultivation skills, and said, "Take them out and put them together with the sand bandits."

Cao Ao, Tao Bin and others took action immediately and quickly moved the forty-six people out of the original sand people camp and laid them together with another forty-five sand bandits, most of whom were injured, disabled or sick.

——Because there were too many people, there was no careful investigation. In addition, the internal strength of these people was completely dispersed by Geng Xuan. They were all in a state of weakness and powerlessness, making it difficult to investigate.

Therefore, Cao Ao overlooked the fact that there were also a large number of cultivators among these sand people.

The way he and Bai Ma distinguished between the sand people and the sand bandits was, first, the obvious difference in the clothes worn by the two groups of people, and second, whether they were working.

Cao Ao was surprised by this, because these practitioners pointed out by Geng Xuan were all "picked up" by him and Bai Ma from the barley fields and grasslands.

They were obviously working until they were unable to move.

This kind of thing is simply unimaginable for the bandits from the Black Wind Group to happen.

Everyone becomes sand bandits just to get away from these things, but these "quasi-sand bandits" who are trained as the direct force by a certain sand bandit group are actually doing these "menial jobs" conscientiously day after day, and what they do is no different from other ordinary sand people.

"Is this the reason why they can become the direct descendants of the big group?" Cao Ao couldn't help but speculate in his heart.

……

After Cao Ao and the others had finished dealing with the situation, Geng Xuan stretched out his hand and waved it, and the force blew into the bodies of the ninety-one people on the ground like a breeze.

As the breeze blew, the figures that were originally lying on the ground, unable to move at all, began to move little by little.

Geng Xuan partially removed the restraints on these people. Although they could not resist, basic walking, sitting and lying were no longer a problem.

With this sudden "loosening", some of them immediately turned over and tried to sit up.

Most of them continued to lie on the ground like corpses, only glancing at Geng Xuan, Cao Ao and others, as if waiting for them to play some "trick" on them later.

Geng Xuan said to Cao Ao, "I don't care what method you use. I will give you two quarters of an hour to make them all join the Black Wind Group."

Upon hearing this, Cao Ao looked at those figures who were mostly disabled, old or sick, and asked, "Are they also considered?"

"All count." Geng Xuan nodded.

"Any means will do?" Cao Ao asked again.

"Well...try not to kill anyone." Geng Xuan said.

Cao Ao nodded and said, "Yes, Captain, I understand."

After receiving the order, Cao Ao, along with Tao Bin, Mao Gou, Lu Dan and other bandits, strode towards the "prey" on the ground.

For Cao Ao, who has successfully started his own business and is determined to build the Black Wind Group into a group of thousands of people, "recruiting new members" is a basic ability that he must possess and also a core ability.

Now, Geng Xuan has already prepared the dishes and placed them in front of him. If he can't even handle this, then what's the point of starting a business?

Geng Xuan didn't want to do any ideological work on these sand bandits. The key point was that even if he had that idea, his ideas would not work on these sand bandits.

In this case, just let go and leave professional matters to professionals.

He believed that Cao Ao should have a complete set of solutions in this regard.

After handing over the matter, Geng Xuan retreated far away and soon heard bursts of ghost howling coming from the area where Cao Ao and others were active.

In response, he just pretended not to see or hear anything and waited quietly.

After easily subduing all the people in the Tiejian Mountain Villa, Geng Xuan did not proceed with the follow-up actions, but chose to practice quietly.

On the one hand, he was taking the time to recover and rest, and on the other hand, he was indeed waiting for the arrival of Tao Bin, Hake and the other nine people. Recruiting these eleven people gave him an additional twenty-four points of white luck.

Correspondingly, twenty-four points of bad luck were born.

Geng Xuan was almost certain that the bad luck caused by the rapid development of the "Black Wind Group" would inevitably first explode within the "Black Wind Group" system.

Will not mix with the "Giant Bear Gang".

At least, until he, the "only hub", took the initiative to merge the two pieces together;
And before the scale of the dark calamity becomes large enough to overwhelm him, the "only hub", and penetrate across systems beyond him.

The bad luck and calamity generated within each system will first be released and exploded within the system itself.

After gaining a better understanding of the situation in Xuan and You states, Geng Xuan also had a special insight that only he had.

Compared to Yuanzhou, the brewing, transmission, and release chain of dark luck in Xuanyou and Youzhou will be more complicated, more changeable, more random, and faster!
This is related to the differences in the overall environment.

The general environment in Yuanzhou is that each force is highly independent of each other, and from practitioners to forces, the style is conservative and stable, with maintaining the long-term stable succession of the force as the top priority.

To put it simply, as long as you don't provoke them and don't touch their fundamental interests, large-scale conflicts rarely break out between forces.

For example, the Giant Bear Gang expanded rapidly many times, and at its peak, the "accumulated" and unreleased black luck exceeded a hundred points.

However, no other forces except Wuyou Palace, Xu family and Jinsha Gang stepped forward.

In the end, it was Wuyou Palace that took on the important task of "eliminating the disaster" for him, while the Xu family and the Jinsha Gang only suffered some "splash damage" and did not take any further action.

This is related to the rhythm of releasing the dark luck and calamity that he controls.

But it is also related to the overall atmosphere of Yuanzhou.

The two states of Xuan and You are different.

First of all, there is a very high level of uncertainty regarding the group of sand bandits.

There are those who follow the rules, but there are even more who act crazy.

Moreover, in order to avoid being caught by Dong Guan, the sand bandits were always on the move and would never stay in one place.

From thinking to behavior, everything is more flexible, more changeable, more unpredictable and uncontrollable.

The Black Wind Group is a junior group among the Sand Bandits, and the Tiejian Mountain has a complicated relationship with the Sand Bandit circle.

In this situation, if there is enough bad luck to secretly "stimulate and push" it.

These groups of sand bandits will be like quicksand in a vortex and can be easily guided in a direction that is conducive to the outbreak of evil luck.

——The black luck is like a spreading magnetic field, and the bandits are like iron filings within the radiation range of the magnetic field. The more black luck is spread, the stronger the magnetic field is, and the greater the degree and range of the iron filings will inevitably be affected.

In addition, there is Dong Guan in the two states of Xuanyou. With the help of the "Dark Night Bureau" and various other channels, he has extended his tentacles into the two states of Xuanyou.

If the evil calamity is too great, beyond the range that the sand bandit group can contain, and causes "overflow", it will easily lead to an attack and killing by Dong Guan's forces.

Then, this is a matter of one move affecting the entire body.

Even if there is no active push from Black Luck in the future, the attacks from the Dong Guan system will continue to be continuous.

Once bad luck and calamity befall us, we will immediately respond along the shortest and most convenient "link".

In addition, there is the Xuanyou Horse, a fast-moving tool.

“If we say that the emergence of white luck is the lighting of the fuse, and the arrival of disaster is the release of the explosion, then the period between the two is the process of the fuse burning.

In Yuanzhou, the burning process may take several days or even more than ten days.

In the two states of Xuanyou, this burning process would most likely not take even a day.

It almost exploded instantly.”

Based on this speculation, Geng Xuan was very worried that he would ask Cao Ao to incorporate the bandits in the villa into the Black Wind Group before Tao Bin, Hake and others arrived.

It is very likely that Tao Bin and his people will not be able to reach the Tiejian Mountain Villa alive.

Even if this matter is delayed by an hour or two, it will not have any fundamental impact.

Based on this consideration, Geng Xuan waited until Tao Bin and others arrived before handing over the follow-up matters of the villa to Cao Ao and others.

……

Two quarters of an hour later, with a faint smell of blood, Cao Ao came to report to Geng Xuan.

He said with a look of shame:
"My subordinates are incompetent. Only seventy-eight people agreed to join the Black Wind Group, and the other thirteen refused to give in no matter what I did."

Having said this, he paused and continued:

“Among the thirteen people who refused to give in, seven were from the Sand People, and they all have families, wives and children here.

Mao Gou said that maybe we could think of a way to solve this problem and let their families persuade them. "

Let your family persuade you?

In fact, they are threatening their family members.

Geng Xuan saw through the true intention behind these words at a glance.

"I gonna go see."

Soon, Geng Xuan came in front of the thirteen "stubborn ones".

Six of them were former bandits. Two were disabled, one was old, one was sick, and two were healthy.

The other seven people next to them looked even more simple and honest, perhaps because of their long-term labor. Next to them, there were some men and women of all ages who had been carried out from the pile of sand people by Cao Ao.

These people should be the families of these seven people.

Geng Xuan took a quick look, first looking at the six long-time bandits, and asked:

"You all don't want to join the Black Wind Group?"

No one spoke.

"If you have any concerns, please speak up."

There were still five people who didn't speak, only one of them, a sturdy man in his early forties, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood foam.

"Bah, what the hell is the Black Wind Group?

When Grandpa came out to have fun, your bastard parents hadn't given birth to you yet, right?!"

His sudden outburst made Cao Ao and others nearby change color with horror. They realized that they had caused a big disaster and immediately went up to shut him up.

Bai Ma, who was standing by, raised her eyebrows and turned pale with anger when she heard the scolding.

Geng Xuan didn't seem to have any emotional fluctuations about the scolding, but he couldn't waste his time on doing ideological work with a few bandits.

So, he said to Cao Ao: "In this case, let's deal with all six of them. This is what we want."

After hearing such a straightforward order, the expressions of the bandits immediately changed.

There were even two people who were originally silent and wanted to say something, but Cao Ao had already winked at Tao Bin and the others.

Before they could open their mouths to say anything, hands had already slapped them heavily on the head.

Soon, six long-time bandits who, for various reasons, stubbornly refused to join the Black Wind Group immediately, all bled from all their orifices and died on the spot.

Seeing his decisive and efficient way of handling the situation, three of the other seven "stubborn" men nearby broke down their defenses immediately.

One of them went limp and collapsed to the ground.

His legs were trembling and his crotch was wet with urine.

One of them cried out, "I'm in, I'm in."

Geng Xuan waved his hand and said, "Go ahead."

With a wave of his hand, it seemed as if an invisible shackle was immediately released from the three people.

They quickly ran away from him and took their families with them as far away from this terrible place as possible.

Geng Xuan looked at the last four people and said, "You four still don't want to do it, right?"

The four of them just remained silent. No one cursed him, but no one responded either.

Geng Xuan's gaze moved, and finally stopped on the middle-aged sand dweller who had bone refining skills and whose red name concentration far exceeded that of the other three.

Geng Xuan said to Cao Ao, "Bring his family here for me to see."

Hearing this, the middle-aged sand man's expression changed, but he still didn't say anything.

Soon, Cao Ao, Tao Bin and others brought the five people to Geng Xuan and introduced their identities in a low voice.

An old man over sixty years old, this is the father of the middle-aged Shamin.

A woman in her early forties, a young man in his twenties, and a little girl five or six years younger than him.

These three people are the middle-aged Shamin’s wife, son, and daughter.

There was also a foreign woman who was less than 30 years old and had an excellent appearance and figure.

This is the maid of the middle-aged Shamin’s family and also his “toy”.

Geng Xuan took a quick look and found that except for the little girl and the foreign women, the red names on the heads of this family were generally very high.

The elderly are the worst.

Secondly, the middle-aged Shamin’s son also performed extremely “excellently” in this regard.

At such a young age, his red name concentration has already exceeded twenty points.

However, due to the actual situation, Geng Xuan often carries out selective "law enforcement".

But he doesn't mind following through on the original idea if necessary.

As if realizing something, the old man said loudly:

"We have all chosen to join. We have all chosen to join the Black Wind Group."

At this point, he looked at the still silent middle-aged Sand Citizen, first begging, as if wanting his son to surrender, and then angrily yelled:

"Are you stupid? What kind of magic potion did Tielang give you?

Could it be that the lives of our entire family are not worth the kindness of these few meals he gave us?"

The middle-aged Sand Citizen did not turn around to look at his father with blazing eyes. He just lowered his head and whispered:

"Without him, our family would have been gone more than ten years ago. All these years have been earned."

"You...you..." The old man was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Seeing that his stubborn son could not be persuaded, he looked at Geng Xuan with pleading eyes.

Geng Xuan didn't say anything more. He waved his hand lightly, and three balls of power instantly penetrated into the eyebrows of the middle-aged sand man, his father, and his son.

Soon, the three men fell to the ground silently.

The middle-aged woman didn't say anything and was trembling all over, but she held her daughter tightly in her arms, covering her eyes with one hand and her mouth with the other.

The foreign maid was also shivering, as if she was standing naked in the snow.

I'm just scared and cold.

Geng Xuan looked at the three Sand People and asked, "What do you say?"

What else can I say.

Three spines that were forced to straighten bent down one by one in front of him.

From then on, including all the disabled, old and sick bandits, there were a total of 91 practitioners in the villa. After the death of 9 people, the remaining 82 people all agreed to join the Black Wind Group.

Geng Xuan looked at Cao Ao beside him and said, "Let them all come over."

After a while, the eighty-two new members, led by Cao Ao and others, formally met Geng Xuan, the leader of the Black Wind Group, for the first time.

Although the proportion of the disabled and the elderly is very high, the cultivation of these old bandits who have been arranged to retire here is generally good.

Even those "quasi-sand bandits" who are "holding back" are included.

Among the eighty-two new members, the Black Wind Group had two members in the early stage of marrow refining, eleven members in the bone refining stage, twenty-five members in the blood refining stage, twenty members in the flesh refining stage, and twenty-four members in the skin refining stage.

This recruitment has brought about an explosive improvement in the Black Wind Group in both strength and scale.

As eighty-two respectful voices of "Greetings, Captain" rang out in succession, eighty-two new brothers knelt in front of him. Geng Xuan, who had just gained twenty-four points of white luck, suddenly gained another forty-eight points of white luck.

In just less than half a day, the free luck benefits brought to Geng Xuan by the Black Wind Group exceeded the total contribution of the Giant Bear Gang before it absorbed Feng Yu and others on a large scale.

This also means that there are now a total of seventy-two points of bad luck, just like the hair of an evil spirit, which are tightly entangled with the black wind group.

"Well, probably not so much."

Although it was easy to obtain this Tiejian Mountain Villa, but theoretically speaking, it is at least a bad luck disaster with an "energy level" of more than ten points.

We can’t really stop taking bean buns as dry food just because he got it so easily.

To eliminate a disaster, there is more than just passive waiting. Actively detonating it is one of the methods.

However, some of it has already disappeared.

The scale of the remaining disasters is basically the same as that on the eve of the Qingyuanji War.

At this moment, Cao Ao approached Geng Xuan and whispered, "Captain, what are the next arrangements?"

Geng Xuan thought for a moment and said:
“First, take your men to quickly take inventory of the assets in this courtyard, especially the Canglan horses, food, weapons and other supplies.

In addition, arrange people to do a good job of vigilance.”

Cao Ao nodded and replied, "Yes."

He turned around and was about to make arrangements, and at the same time had someone move the nine bodies on the ground away.

Geng Xuan raised his hand to stop them, "Wait, where are you taking them?"

Cao Ao said: "I will go and bury them."

Geng Xuan shook his head and said, "Don't rush to bury it."

"Ah?" Cao Ao looked at him in confusion, not understanding what he meant.

Not only was he confused, but the other bandits also looked at him with puzzled eyes.

Geng Xuan's gaze swept over the disabled bandits.

Finally, it fell on the two new people who had joined in the early stage of marrow refining.

These two people who were in the early stage of marrow refining were both "semi-finished products", one was missing his right leg, and the other was missing his right eye and left hand.

Geng Xuan said:
“I think you all have doubts in your hearts about my plan to absorb half-useless people like you into the Black Wind Group.

This is probably why some people refuse to join. "

No one spoke, but they all looked at him seriously.

What he said was right. In this cruel world, when you completely don't understand someone's actions, you tend to think of his purpose in a bad way.

And in the vast majority of cases, this is correct.

"Do you know Yuanzhou Wuyou Palace?" Geng Xuan suddenly asked again.

The two disabled sand bandits who were in the early stage of marrow refining both nodded, but their expressions were still confused.

It seems to be asking, what does this have to do with you recruiting a group of disabled people like us?
Before they could react, a man in the crowd, with a pale and haggard face, who was actually less than fifty years old but had a head full of gray hair, showed a change of expression and said anxiously:
“From what I understand, although the Wuyou Palace has a bad reputation, it can be said to be the most proficient medical force in the world.

Organ transplants, limb reattachments... It is said that as long as the person does not die on the spot, they can save him completely."

Geng Xuan nodded and said, "Although there are some differences, in general, the situation is as you said."

When the two of them finished their conversation, which seemed to be in unison, the crowd suddenly became agitated.

The one-eyed and one-handed marrow refiner who was in the early stage asked anxiously:

"My hand has been broken for seven or eight years, and my eye has been missing for more than ten years. Can it be cured?"

Geng Xuan nodded, "No problem."

As he spoke, he looked at the nine bodies on the ground and said, "We just need to take the intact parts of their bodies and put them back on you."

The man couldn't believe it and said, "So simple?"

“For me, it’s that simple.”

"You... are from Wuyou Palace?" Another bandit with a broken leg stared at him with suspicion and inquiry in his eyes.

Geng Xuan did not answer this question directly, but just smiled faintly:

"This is not your concern. You just need to know that if they do, I will too."

The man with a yellow and haggard look, who was the first to point out the extraordinary medical talent of Wuyou Palace, said anxiously: "I fought with others and lost too much vitality... Is there any way?"

"There is a way, but it's a bit dangerous." Geng Xuan said.

The man was overjoyed when he heard this, "That's good, that's good."

As for the words "a little dangerous", they just entered his left ear and were immediately kicked out of his right ear.

This had no place in his mind at all.

He immediately knelt on the ground again, prostrating himself respectfully, and said: "From today on, my life, Ye Fei, belongs to you, Captain!"

The two old bandits who were in the early stage of marrow refining looked at each other and knelt on the ground.

"As long as the captain can cure us, from now on, our lives will be at your disposal!" (End of this chapter)
