92: The rules are set to affect only the Li family! The law-abiding caravan has arrived!
Wulian Mountains.
A place Ye An meticulously selected.
It was located on the only path between Ye Family Pass and Jianglan City.
It was named Wulian Mountains because of the five interconnected mountain ranges nearby!
And Wulian Mountains was about half a day's journey from Ye Family Pass.
So, in terms of distance, it was relatively safe.
After all, if they actually started fighting, it would also prevent Li Xiaotian from Ye Family Pass from bringing people to reinforce them.
Some might say, Ye An already had this much strength, and so many subordinates, did he need to be so cautious?
This couldn't really be blamed on him; it was a personal habit!
For instance, the Black Demon Fiend back then, whose strength was far above Ye Changfeng's, didn't he also constantly emphasize being careful and cautious?
This was a matter of personal conduct... Deep into the night.
On one of the mountainsides of Wulian Mountains.
Ye An, Bei Shan, as well as the demoness and Blood Rage, had already set up an ambush here.
Looking at the winding route below, the demoness excitedly said,
"The place my husband chose is so tricky!"
"Located at the foot of the mountain, with such a winding and tortuous route, even if we encounter a large caravan, we can attack them in segments!"
Ye An smiled and nodded.
Indeed, this was the final reason he chose this place.
The mountain roads near Wulian Mountains were winding and tortuous, without long straight sections.
And on both sides were the Wulian Mountains ranges; once blocked from front and back, there was no other way to go except up the mountain.
Most of the caravan members were ordinary people, and once blocked, it was almost impossible for them to escape.
This also meant that Ye An and his group only needed to clear out the few Cultivators guarding the caravan.
Then they could obtain all the supplies of the entire caravan.
Of course, sometimes they didn't even need to clear out these Cultivators; even just a feint to draw them away.
They could use the advantage of their numbers to transfer the supplies!
"Boss, are we still following the old rules from Decapitation Mountain, killing everyone and taking all the goods?"
North Wind asked excitedly.
Ye An also noticed that North Wind seemed very excited whenever fighting was mentioned; he even talked more.
Normally, he was a person who couldn't even manage a single word for a long time!
Ye An said,
"Remember this, all of you, you are no longer people of Decapitation Mountain!"
"You are my, Ye An's, private armed force!"
"I'll give you a new name later!"
"As for now, I need to set some rules with you!"
"Rules?"
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
Ye An nodded.
"That's right, setting rules!"
"Your actions at Decapitation Mountain before were those of bandits!"
"Although in the Immortal Cultivation world, the strong are respected!"
"But if you don't understand the rules of this world, you will eventually be wiped out by various forces!"
"Take this robbery as an example!"
"The rule I'm setting for you is: you are only allowed to touch the things of the Li family's caravan!"
"If you encounter resistance from people of the Li family's caravan, it's fine to kill them, but remember, do not touch caravans other than the Li family's!"
"Just scare them away!"
"Boss, why is that?"
Bei Shan asked, puzzled.
Even Qin Ruyan looked at Ye An with a bewildered expression.
"Husband, is there a difference?"
Ye An was speechless upon hearing this, thinking,
"Good heavens, you natives of the Immortal Realm understand the law less than I, an outsider?"
"Indeed, not understanding the law is truly terrifying!"
Ye An explained helplessly,
"There is naturally a difference!"
"According to the laws of the Great Yan Dynasty!"
"Private disputes are not managed by the Great Yan Dynasty!"
"As long as officials like city lords are not involved, even if two forces fight to the death, they won't interfere!"
"But if it's like bandits, robbing anyone indiscriminately by blocking the road, then the Great Yan Dynasty will issue an extermination order!"
"You people from Decapitation Mountain used to hide in Ye Family Pass and acted more cautiously, which is why Jianglan City didn't do anything to you!"
"But if we rob every caravan we see this time, within three days, Jianglan City will definitely issue an extermination order!"
"You'll then only be able to hide in the storage ring to avoid the limelight!"
"But if you don't touch other caravans tonight, then legally you cannot be judged as bandits; it can only be considered a private dispute of personal grievances!"
"And Jianglan City will not interfere with private disputes!"
"Do you understand now?"
Everyone nodded upon hearing this.
Ye An said,
"Robbing the Li family's caravan is a long-term job!"
"I don't want it to end in one go, so all of you be smart!"
"Pass down my rules; anyone who dares to rob a caravan other than the Li family's later, don't blame me for turning hostile!"
"Yes!"
North Wind, Qin Ruyan, and Blood Rage nodded busily.
Immediately, Ye An's rules were passed down.
And while Ye An and the others were setting rules.
Indeed, in the darkness, a trail of fire slowly appeared on the official road ahead.
Clearly, the caravan had arrived!
Soon, a subordinate responsible for scouting ran back, panting heavily.
"Bo... Boss, the Li family's caravan has arrived!"
"But there are also three or four small caravans traveling with them!"
"The personnel arrangements have all been scouted!"
"There are a total of five Heavenly Mansion Realm experts escorting them, with strengths ranging from Heavenly Mansion Realm stage 4 to Heavenly Mansion Realm stage 5!"
"Among them, the Li family's caravan is escorted by three Heavenly Mansion Realm stage 5 experts!"
"The other three or four small caravans have hired two Heavenly Mansion Realm stage 4 experts to escort them!"
"The Li family's caravan is at the very back of the procession!"
Everyone looked at Ye An upon hearing this.
Ye An also pondered for a moment, then said,
"Their strength is very ordinary; the difficulty of this robbery tonight isn't high!"
"But still, the same words: do not touch other caravans!"
Saying this, Ye An looked at Blood Rage!
"Alright, let the small caravans in front go first. Once they pass this bend in front of us!"
"Blood Rage, you lead the beast slave army and charge down immediately, cutting off the connection between the Li family's caravan and the caravans in front!"
"If necessary, you can kill a few people from the Li family's caravan to make an example!"
Blood Rage nodded busily.
Ye An then looked at North Wind!
"North Wind, you are responsible for leading people to cut off the retreat of the Li family's caravan!"
"Anyone who tries to escape will be killed without mercy!"
"Understood!"
North Wind nodded.
Finally, Ye An looked at Qin Ruyan!
"Later, I'll trouble my wife to come with me to retrieve the goods!"
"As my husband wishes!"
Qin Ruyan smiled.
Ye An wasted no more words and immediately waved his hand.
Everyone took out black cloths and covered their faces!
At the same time, they also took out their respective weapons and got everything ready... Time passed by minute by minute.
Indeed, half an hour later.
A caravan of about a hundred people appeared on the official road below Wulian Mountains.
The entire procession was brightly lit, like a fiery snake, constantly rushing forward.
Ye An also saw.
Within the procession, there were indeed five Cultivators in robes guarding both sides.
The two in the very front should be the two Heavenly Mansion Realm stage 4 experts hired by the small caravans.
And on both sides and at the rear of the caravans behind, there was one Heavenly Mansion Realm stage 5 expert standing at each position.
Clearly, these should be the Li family's guards!
Ye An clearly understood the situation, and then he no longer delayed.
Taking advantage of the moment the caravan in front had just turned the corner.
With a wave of his hand.
Instantly, Blood Rage led hundreds of beast slaves, charging down like a tidal wave.
The entire caravan immediately fell into chaos.
And at the same time, Bei Shan also led his people from the other side, directly cutting off the retreat of the Li family's caravan.
Hundreds of subordinates immediately surrounded the rear, making it airtight!
The three Heavenly Mansion Realm experts of the Li family immediately blocked the path of the beast slaves and Bei Shan.
One of them even shouted anxiously!
"May I ask which brothers you are?"
"Why do you block our path?"
"We are the Li family's caravan from Jianglan City!"
"Please come out and show yourselves, and state your names!"
