Misty Rain of the Old Times

Chapter 314: Pingshan and destroying the village
"you you you……"

The woman was speechless after hearing what Chen Xuan said. She subconsciously raised her finger and pointed at him. Her delicate body was shaking, her face was pale, and her eyes immediately turned red. Tears rolled in her beautiful eyes and fell like pearls.

People in this era cherish their reputation, and some even value reputation more than their life. Chen Xuan's words were no less than a slap in the face to the woman in public. How could a girl bear it?

However, Chen Xuan was not indulging her and continued to shake his head and said, "What do you mean by 'I'? Am I wrong? So many people died. Look for yourself. Many people were missing arms and legs. Their bodies were not complete. You didn't care about them at the first time. Instead, you came to me and smiled at me. Is this something a normal person can do? Indeed, judging from your dress, you are not an ordinary person. You are either rich or noble. Maybe they were hired by you, but at least they paid with their lives. Are you so at ease? Forget it, I am a gangster, heartless, what kind of person you are is none of my business."

The woman's face turned three shades paler again, tears kept flowing, her delicate body trembled and she began to sob, but she couldn't utter a word to refute. If it weren't for the maid's support, she couldn't even stand up.

Her maid saw it and was anxious in her heart. She looked at Chen Xuan anxiously and said, "Young man, you are going too far. My lady just came out to say hello to you. How can you say that to her? She is not the kind of person you say she is."

"That's right, young man. Are you a little prejudiced? My young lady is very kind-hearted. She treats us very well. In addition, she has donated a lot of money to the charity over the years, invested in repairing bridges and roads, and even provides porridge to save people in winter. Ask everyone present, who would not give a thumbs up and praise my young lady? Is there any misunderstanding here?" Another maid also spoke up.

Then, a guard who seemed to be of some importance in the crowd also bravely bowed and said, "Young man, my lady is indeed not the kind of person you say. After all, you saved our lives. My lady should come out and say hello, otherwise it would seem a bit ungrateful, right?"

Chen Xuan remained unmoved, pointing to his own eyes and said calmly, "Don't wash her. I only believe what I see. It's right to repay a favor, but to still laugh when so many people have died is truly unacceptable."

"Young man, don't you think you are being too extreme?" Her maidservant tried to defend herself.

Chen Xuan was getting impatient and waved his hand, saying, "Stay away. I'm a fierce gangster and I don't have time to discuss these meaningless things with you. If you keep pushing me, I'll deal with you too. I have a bad temper."

"Huh, young man, you are right. I was wrong. They gave their lives to protect me. I should have cared about them first, instead of forcing a smile to greet my benefactor in order to escape the fear in my heart..." The woman finally recovered and choked with sobs.

Chen Xuan interrupted with a wave of his hand: "That's your business, none of my business. Considering that you are a girl, I didn't dare to say more vicious words, otherwise you would be embarrassed and angry enough. Don't bother me, I'm busy."

Forget about his manners. Chen Xuan is not the kind of person who can't walk when he sees a beautiful woman. He says whatever he thinks and doesn't indulge anyone.

The reason why he was so cold and unkind was that he was really busy, and secondly, this matter was too coincidental. Gao Jingming had just set foot in this area when such a beautiful woman encountered a bandit. If he had not been there, according to normal development, Gao Jingming would appear here at their most dangerous moment... It was hard for Chen Xuan not to suspect that someone was setting up a trap. It is better to be safe than sorry. Even if he thought too much, it was better than falling into someone else's trap.

As he spoke, Chen Xuan looked towards a certain direction in the deep mountains, curled his lips, and thought to himself that he had found it.

Then he glanced back and saw that Xiao Gao and the others were only two or three miles away. He had previously told him that Gao Jingming was a smart man and could see many things more clearly than he did. So there was nothing to worry about. He carefully felt around and found that there was no other danger in a large area. So he said, "If anyone is still alive, clean up this place quickly and get out. Haven't you learned your lesson yet?"

As he spoke, he tapped the treetops with his toes, and his figure flew over mountains and ridges into the distance, disappearing from everyone's sight in a few blinks of an eye.

After he left, everyone present looked at each other, with thousands of words stuck in their throats and not knowing what to say.

"What kind of person is that? Really, miss, don't take it to heart. I think that person is very powerful, but he is a little different from ordinary people." The girl's maid opened her mouth, pointed at her head and whispered.

The woman shook her head and said, "I can sense that this person isn't as unreasonable as he appears to be. Perhaps he has his own reasons. Anyway, I acknowledge your life-saving grace. It's a shame we couldn't share our knowledge and leave a name behind. I'll have to repay you in the future. Okay, everyone, check and collect the bodies. Treat those who can be saved. I'll cover all expenses. I'll double your salary afterwards, and I'll double the compensation for those who unfortunately lost their lives. I'll personally deliver them to their families and kowtow to express my gratitude."

"Miss, you are so kind. We thank you." Everyone hurriedly bowed to express their gratitude, with a look of emotion on their faces. They thought that Sang Biao, who had claimed to be a bandit, had really misunderstood them, but it was a pity that the other party did not even give them a chance to explain.

Glancing around, a trace of pity and fear flashed in the woman's eyes. She suppressed her discomfort and squatted slightly to salute. Then, with the help of her maid, she returned to the carriage without saying a word.

"Miss, why were you speaking for that rude and unreasonable person just now?" the maid asked in a puzzled voice.

The woman lowered her head and shook her head: "It's just the facts."

"But Miss, he said that to you in public. It's not good for your reputation. What if it gets out?" "Thinking about it carefully, he was right. It was my fault. I should have cared about everyone first. In comparison, he is a more open-minded person."

"Miss, you defend him so much, it's not because he saved your life, and his attitude is completely different from others, and he is tall and handsome, and his strength is unfathomable, so you are moved by him, this is not right!" The maid said in disbelief after thinking about it.

The woman's eyes flashed and she glared, "What are you talking about, you little bitch? Be careful or I'll tear your mouth apart."

"Don't say that, it's really hard not to be moved by a man like this, it's human nature," the maid dodged...

On the other side, Chen Xuan quickly arrived at the mountains more than ten miles away. He stood on the treetop and looked ahead with a smile on his face. He thought to himself that it was just as the Forbidden Martial Arts Bureau had recorded. Not only was there a fierce bandit entrenched in Niu Shou Mountain, but the leader was also a member of the innate realm.

He said before that he was busy and was looking for the aura of this innate realm. The other party had some tricks and was quite skilled in hiding his aura. It was obvious in the wilderness, but it still took him some time. Speaking of which, Chen Xuan was an expert in hiding his own cultivation. No matter how deep the other party hid, he could pull it out. So, after sensing it, he followed the "network cable" to find him.

At this time, a few hundred meters in front of Chen Xuan was a mountain with cliffs on three sides. There was a single road leading up the mountain, and on the mountain was the lair of the Juyi Village. The terrain was like a natural barrier, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Even with dozens of times more manpower, it would be difficult to break through this place. No wonder this group of bandits could stay here for many years without falling.

There were clusters of buildings on the mountain, so they were naturally not exquisite. According to Chen Xuan's feeling, there were at least 800 people entrenched here, almost all of whom had martial arts skills, and no less than ten of them had opened up the eight extraordinary meridians, and two of them had even opened up the Ren and Du meridians, hoping to impact the innate. The most crucial thing was that almost everyone had a smell of blood on their bodies. To use the words he saw on the Internet in his previous life, they were all red monsters, some of them were so red that they were purple, and some were so purple that they were black. There were only a handful of clean ones.

"They are indeed a bunch of ruthless bandits. How many crimes must they have committed and how many people must they have killed to create such a bloody and murderous aura that even birds dare not approach? They are simply a den of demons!"

With a sneer in his heart, Chen Xuan was most concerned about the innate aura deep in the mountain village. It seemed to be there and not there, extremely cold and gloomy, like a poisonous snake that was choosing its prey.

Raising his eyebrows slightly, Chen Xuan thought it was quite interesting. Not only was this person good at hiding his skills, but he was also practicing an extremely cold and superior technique. This was not something that an ordinary wanderer in the martial arts world should have.

Especially that air of self-sacrifice, it was hard not to make Chen Xuan think of a special existence...

"The records of the Forbidden Martial Arts Department say that this is a congenital master who practices evil skills and has taken over the magpie's nest to do evil. Why do I find it hard to believe? Bandits are all about being free and easy when they rob. In this scorching hot weather, they are running out on the road in waves, working diligently. This is obviously inconsistent with the character of a bandit. It makes sense that they would be more diligent in the morning and evening when it is cooler."

Chen Xuan's mind flashed, and he simply stopped thinking about it. Now that he had found their lair, these evil guys would be punished.

I will destroy the mountain and the stronghold today and make these bandits become history!

As for the specific situation of the bandit leader in the innate realm, we have to talk to him in person to find out. Maybe there will be unexpected gains. If it is as expected, can a grandmaster like me pry open his mouth?
It didn't take long to find out.

After a moment of thought and looking at the mountain stronghold for a moment, Chen Xuan walked forward with the sword hanging loosely on his waist, walking on the treetops as if it were flat ground, and approached the murderous bandit's nest as if he was taking a leisurely stroll in the garden, as if he was enjoying the mountains and rivers.

As he took a step, leaves one after another swirled around him like a gentle breeze, supporting him as if he were flying in the air.

The Grandmaster's cultivation is still unable to break away from the laws of nature and fly freely in the sky, but his superb lightness skills are no different from flying in the eyes of ordinary people. As long as there is something to leverage, his inexhaustible true energy can keep him in the air without falling!

As Chen Xuan approached the mountain stronghold, leaves surrounding him would occasionally fly out and fall into the forest. Each leaf could take away a life. They were all the sentinels of the evil bandits in the mountains, and nothing could escape Chen Xuan's senses.

These people's hands are covered in blood, and their deaths are not a pity. Chen Xuan will definitely not kill the wrong person.

Anyway, as he approached, the bandits in the mountains died silently one after another, without any pain at all. It was a good thing for them...
