A Demon’s Path

"Boss Ling, shall we continue running now?" Fang Hongzhao asked Ling Xiao after a burst of astonishment and admiration.

Nalanjie immediately jumped up and shouted: "Where are we running away? We are rushing, you know?"

Ling Xiao giggled twice: "Yes, we are not running away now, but breaking in."

Yao Wan was full of sarcasm and said, "By the way, our Boss Ling Xiao, which way should we go now?"

With such a question, Ling Xiao was stumped.

The map I got from Naranje showed several ways to go south from here. Of course, the most direct and fastest way is to pass through the ten big cities of the Huang family in turn.

However, if they really went like this, with such a large team, as long as there was nothing wrong with their minds, the city lord of Yellow Leaf City would ask them about their origins.

Although the four great families choose to be neutral on the surface, who knows whether they have taken refuge in the tower of gods and demons behind their backs?

If they walked through these ten cities swaggeringly, Ling Xiao reckoned that these buddies would almost die before reaching the Devil Soul Mountain.

Ling Xiao wanted to go directly to the ten cities, so he had to make arrangements for these guys first, so that he could go into battle lightly. However, how to arrange them is another problem.

"The robbers are coming!" Just as Ling Xiao was worried about the arrangement of the five thousand people, the residents of this small town suddenly shouted.

Afterwards, every household closed their doors tightly, and the streets of the whole town instantly became deserted.

"What's going on here?" Everyone looked at the town that had become empty in a blink of an eye, feeling very depressed.

"I seem to have heard them yelling just now...the robber is here?" Ling Shiyu blinked her big eyes and stared at Ling Xiao: "Where is the robber?"

Ling Xiao couldn't help crying and laughing, dare these guys treat them as robbers!

"Bandit?!" Ling Xiao's eyes lit up, and he slapped his thigh suddenly: "Hello, robber, haha!"

Ling Xiao smiled so inexplicably, everyone couldn't help being confused by Ling Xiao: What is Boss Ling thinking?

"Brothers, how about we go to be robbers?" Ling Xiao immediately annoyed the group of soldiers when he said this.

They respected Ling Xiao very much, but they didn't expect Ling Xiao to let them do such a thing!

Fang Hongzhao suppressed his anger, and said: "Boss Ling, although we are not heroes, we are not the kind of clowns who make a living by robbery. If you feel that your brothers are dragging you down, just say it, why use it?" Such a method to piss us off?"

Ling Xiao didn't expect these people to react so violently, and hurriedly said: "Brothers, you have misunderstood me. Indeed, it would be inconvenient for me to take you to the south together. But what I want is not to abandon everyone, but to first Arrange a place for everyone temporarily."

Ling Xiao's attitude was very sincere, and the anger in everyone's hearts subsided a little, and he went on to say: "My current strength is too weak, and not every time I can be as lucky as this time. Even if everyone follows me I take life and death too seriously, but I can't do it."

"What I want to achieve is that every brother who hangs out with me, Ling Xiao, can live a good and prosperous life. When I have enough strength, then, everyone just follow me. "

"But, you can't drag us to be robbers?" A young man who looks very wronged, his wish is to be a warrior who fights bravely for the belief of freedom and self-respect on the battlefield, not a robber robber.

Ling Xiao explained: "Do you really think I'm the kind of big villain who would bully ordinary people?"

When Ling Xiao asked, everyone shook their heads: "No."

Ling Xiao smiled slightly and said, "That's good. My plan is that everyone will secretly deal with the robbers here, and then occupy the mountain as king. I have a lot of medicinal seeds here, and you can plant them on the nearby mountains. With these medicinal materials, everyone can take them to the nearby city chamber of commerce to sell them. In this way, everyone's livelihood will not be a problem."

"You actually think of us as medicine farmers?" Nalanjie rolled his eyes. In his mind, medicine growers are no different from farmers. They are all mud-legged people wearing bamboo hats and kimonos.

On the contrary, Fang Hongzhao smiled relaxedly: "So that's the case, we misunderstood Boss Ling. That's fine, we will grow medicinal materials for Boss Ling in the rear to make money, and when Boss Ling comes back, we will refine pills for everyone and improve our strength!"

When Fang Hongzhao said this, the haze in everyone's hearts was immediately swept away, and their faces were full of sunny smiles.

Such a good thing, thinking about it makes me laugh in my dreams!

Nalanjie always wanted to go on an adventure with Ling Xiao, with a displeased expression on his face: "What if someone comes to clean up the robbers?"

Ling Xiao didn't answer, but Fang Hongzhao spoke first: "If they were willing to clean it up, they would have done it long ago, and would they let these bandits wreak havoc here?"

Nalanjie thought about it, it seemed to be the reason.

Fang Hongzhao went on to say: "Actually, these robbers also got the acquiescence of the city lords. Otherwise, how would they dare to do this?"

Upon hearing that it was related to the city lord, Yao Wan immediately retorted: "How could the city lord allow these guys to exist? They are cancerous tumors in every ruling area."

Fang Hongzhao sneered coldly, and snorted softly, "Cancer? It's just that you don't know about it. Without the existence of these robbers, how could the residents of those small towns be so willing to pay taxes to the city lords to protect their safety?"

"Even some bandits were deliberately released by the city lords, just to scare the civilians and the ordinary caravans." Fang Hongzhao continued, his face full of contempt.

Yao Wan, who was educated by the Tower of Gods and Demons since she was a child, had a hard time accepting such dark thoughts, but when she thought of what the Tower of Gods and Demons had done to her, she gave up the idea of ​​reasoning with Fang Hongzhao.

Ling Xiao was too lazy to listen to Yao Wan and Fang Hongzhao's argument, so she waved her hand impatiently: "Okay, okay, don't worry about this for now. Let's go and see how the land is, hehe!"

Before Ling Xiao finished speaking, dust suddenly flew up on the plain far away from this small town, and the sound of horseshoes could be faintly heard.

Everyone's expressions changed: "The people from Yellow Leaf City are chasing you?"

Ling Xiao also thought so before, but when he saw that the number of those horses did not exceed one hundred, his heart was determined immediately, and he laughed and said: "Speak of robbers, and the robbers will come."

Those unlucky robbers just happened to be short of money these days, and there were no mortal merchants passing by to let them "open", so they had to mobilize all their strength to plunder the nearby villages and towns wantonly.

This small town is the "first stop" for their descent.

Seeing more than 5,000 people standing outside the town, the group of robbers thought it was a team spontaneously organized by the villagers who rose up to resist. But it wasn't until they took a closer look that they realized that the aura exuding from these people was far stronger than theirs.

"Could it be the helpers invited by the residents of the town? Impossible, how did they know that we would come today?" The robbers thought in wonder, and immediately turned their horses around.

Joke, in this situation they still want to rob the town, unless the bandits' brains are rusted.

"Hmph, do you still want to leave when you're here?" Ling Xiao waved his hand, and the five thousand people rushed up immediately, and surrounded the gang of robbers.

During this period of time, a group of my own people were always surrounded and killed by people, and the mood of these five thousand people was very unhappy. It's all right now, finally a group of blind robbers made me vent their anger, hehe.

Surrounded by a large group of fighters who have experienced life and death battles, the faces of these guys who are domineering in front of ordinary people can't help but change wildly.

A gangster who looked as thin as a monkey forcibly plucked up his courage, and said to Ling Xiao and the others: "Everyone, we don't violate the river, and our brothers are just passing by. I hope you will show some face. We still understand the rules of the rivers and lakes." Yes, the benefits of everyone are indispensable."

Ling Xiao jokingly said with a smile: "What's the benefit? What we want, can you afford it? If you are really so rich, why do you still come out to be robbers?"

Being ridiculed by Ling Xiao like this, the thin monkey's face couldn't hold back. He is the leader of this group, and he usually puts on a show in front of the common people, but now he has to swallow his anger, which makes him extremely unhappy.

"Your Excellency, don't be too extreme. Although Hou is not a rich and powerful person, he also knows one or two people that you can't afford." It means that it seems to be warning Ling Xiao, if you offend me, there is nothing good for you.

Ling Xiao didn't take it seriously, he didn't even pay attention to the Lord of Soul, who else would he be afraid of?

"Kill them, don't keep your hands." Ling Xiao snapped his fingers lightly, and the soldiers immediately rushed towards the group of robbers like tigers and wolves chasing sheep.

The thin monkey screamed: "You will regret it..."

His voice was quickly drowned out by screams, and in less than five seconds, the less than a hundred robbers immediately turned into mutilated corpses.

Ling Xiao didn't let their souls go, and used the Tushen to suck the souls of these guys, directly turning them into the power of Tushen.

"Huh? This guy really has some background." Ling Xiao saw some interesting things in the skinny monkey's soul, with a playful smile on his face.

"What background?" The good-natured Nalanjie immediately stretched his neck and ears, waiting to hear something interesting from Ling Xiao.

But Ling Xiao didn't continue talking, and whetted Nalanjie's appetite: "Let's go, those guys live in a good place, let's settle down first, and then talk about other things."

After all, Ling Xiao ignored everyone's curious eyes and walked away.

After walking for nearly an hour, Ling Xiao and his party arrived in a group of mountains to the southeast of the town.

Looking at the basin hidden in the mountains like a small town, Nalanjie couldn't help swearing: "Damn, it's really a good place!"
