broken destiny

The whole night was uneventful, and early the next morning, the whole team packed up their things. Wang Xingli also helped organize, and a dozen carriages were all loaded with things.

As Lao Zhang gave the order, the team began to take action, and Wang Xingli followed the team on the road. A week passed in the blink of an eye.

Wang Xingli also knew what this group of people did. They wandered outside the territories of various sects, doing work similar to that of merchants, and occasionally hunted some valuable beasts. Wang Xingli was able to help occasionally, and he worked very neatly, and there were far fewer discordant voices in the team.

After going through so many things, it can be seen that the impact of new humans on the world is not that scary. At least the lives of these people at the bottom have not been greatly affected at all.

Wang Xingli was practicing his spiritual power while wandering around with this team.

A peaceful life is always rare. A sudden snowstorm trapped everyone in a mountain col. Fortunately, they found a large cave, so they didn't have to freeze outside.

"Huh~ This snow is really heavy. I haven't seen such a big snowstorm in many years."

"Tie Zhu, don't sigh for now. Come and set up the tent. You and Li Xing can set up the one over there."

For a while, everyone started working hard, and in a short while more than a dozen tents were set up, including cooking pots and stoves.

“This stove can be used for a month without any problem!”

"Don't be so clumsy, kid, our spare food can't last a month." Lao Zhang looked at Liu Tiezhu speechlessly.

"Look at this blizzard. Even if it stops, we won't be able to walk for a while. Li Xing, don't you think so?"

"Huh? Yes, yes."

Wang Xingli noticed that there was a group of people nearby. He didn't know what they were doing, so he said to Lao Zhang, "Lao Zhang, why do I feel that this cave looks a bit like a wild beast's cave? Is it unsafe?"

Lao Zhang also carefully observed his surroundings, but found nothing.

"I didn't see it, but it's better to be careful during special times. Let's keep vigil as usual!"

After speaking, Lao Zhang also arranged for several people to set up concealment and defense formations at the entrance of the cave.

Wang Xingli glanced twice, raised one hand, and held up a seal. The effect of the concealment formation was greatly enhanced.

The night was uneventful, but the team did not leave, but hung around the entrance of the cave.

This group of people were originally bandits nearby, and the cave was also a place where they often rested. It was a bit confusing to find the entrance to the cave at this moment.

"Brother, this is definitely the right way. It's right near here. Why did it disappear out of thin air?"

"It must be hidden by the concealment formation. Let's attack and see. I want to see who is so brave and dares to occupy our nest."

boom! boom! boom!

Wang Xingli noticed the robber's attack immediately, and Lao Zhang also noticed it soon after.

"Attention all..."

"It seems that this battle is unavoidable." Wang Xingli followed everyone around the cave entrance.

Continuous sounds echoed in the mountains. According to this frequency, it won't take long for the cave entrance to be discovered.

Rumble!

An attack landed very accurately at the entrance of the cave. The defensive formation emitted a dazzling light, and the concealment formation instantly lost its effect.

"Brother, there!"

"People inside, listen, we opened this cave. Those who are wise should make way for us to enter."

"Lao Zhang, they seem to be bandits. They have had conflicts with us before and are very powerful!"

"We can't let them in, Tiezhu, Heizi, you follow me out to meet the enemy. The others are hiding in the cave and don't come out."

boom! boom! boom!

Lao Zhang and others struck preemptively, bursting out spiritual attacks one after another, heading straight towards the group of bandits.

hum~

The leader flicked his cloak, a breath of air escaped, and all the attacks from Lao Zhang and others disappeared.

"You dare to show off your trivial skills and embarrass yourself, so surrender quickly! I'll spare your life."

"Lao Zhang, he seems to have become stronger again, but he probably didn't recognize us." Liu Tiezhu whispered in Lao Zhang's ear.

Lao Zhang has been traveling all over the country for so many years and has encountered many disasters, but this time today is the most difficult to overcome. He can't be beaten again and again, and there is nowhere to escape.

How to do?

Lao Zhang is a little desperate. After so many years of hard work, is it going to be ruined?

Feeling Lao Zhang's despair, Wang Xingli couldn't bear it.

"We surrender, you have to keep your word and let us go."

Lao Zhang's words were full of pathos. If he were alone, he would dare to fight others, but with so many others, he could only make a choice.

"I keep my word, get out of here quickly, my brothers are still out there in the cold!"

Lao Zhang turned around helplessly and called everyone to hurry out. Wang Xingli followed him out silently.

When the bandit leader saw the people coming out, he smiled evilly and called the brothers into the cave.

"Keep those little girls here for a while."

Hearing this, Lao Zhang hurriedly protected him and said, "Didn't we just agree that we would keep our belongings and you would let us go?"

"Of course I keep my word, but look at their bulging chests. They must be hiding something. We have to search!"

The bandit leader stared at Lao Zhang with an unkind expression.

"No, our goods are all left in the cave. You can go and take a look. We don't need to hide things secretly."

Lao Zhang glared angrily, seemingly unwilling to make any more concessions.

"Hey, you ignorant old guy, don't be so shameless!"

The bandit leader raised his knife and struck, and a bloody sword light flew towards Lao Zhang in an instant.

Wang Xingli moved his fingers slightly, and saw a flash of white light, and everyone was so stabbed that they could not open their eyes.

Tsk~tsk~

By the time everyone came to their senses, the bloody sword light had disappeared.

"You actually hid the treasure secretly, hand it over now!"

Wang Xingli originally thought that after he took action, the bandit leader would let everyone go. Unexpectedly, it was self-defeating. Instead, the bandit leader mistakenly thought that Lao Zhang had a treasure.

"What treasure?" Lao Zhang looked confused, having no idea what happened just now.

"You're still pretending to be stupid, let's see if I don't kill you!"

Another bloody sword light appeared.

Wang Xingli frowned, and with a wave of his finger, the white light appeared again, and the bloody sword light disappeared immediately.

"Please be noble and let them go."

A deep voice echoed in the valley. Wang Xingli did not want to expose himself, and wanted to make them retreat in this way.

"Pretending to be a ghost, what kind of treasure is this?"

Unexpectedly, the bandit leader was not afraid at all and approached Lao Zhang with a knife.
