64: Chapter 64 The Incompetent Cabbage Gang, Yao Luyuan Being Bullied
Lin Kuang and Yu Xiaotang concealed their presence on the rooftop to watch the drama unfold.
Looking outward, the scene before them left Lin Kuang and his companion in shock.
The surrounding trees were being swallowed by the raging Blaze Beast.
The entire scene was like Hell.
Several carriages nearby had been overturned, and the bandits were busily tying up the women of the Bai household with great delight.
Because all of this was theirs now!
Who wouldn't be happy?
The brutally killed men lay in the sea of fire, staring at the bandits with eyes wide open in death.
"Why? Why? I just got married, how did it end up like this!" Baicai Bang questioned incessantly, while the cries of the servants echoed around him.
"Wuwuwu, save me, Young Master! I don't want to be taken by the bandits, save me!"
"Young Master! They killed my husband! You must avenge us!"
"Why are there bandits here! How are they so powerful! Someone, save us!"
"Brother Bai! Save me! I don't want to be taken by them!" Yao Luyuan's cries rang out.
Baicai Bang gripped his long sword and slashed at a bandit, killing him in one strike.
"Oh? Quite a lot of strength! To kill one of my underlings in a single strike!" the bandit leader stroked his chin and said.
"Young Master Bai, don't struggle! We will treat your family well!" The second-in-command seized the opportunity and knocked his long sword away.
"Go to Hell! Give Yaoyao back to me!"
Baicai Bang delivered an elbow strike, but it was easily blocked by the second-in-command, who retaliated with a slash.
Although it didn't hit a vital spot, it left a several-centimeter wound on his abdomen.
"Ah! You..." Baicai Bang suddenly became weak.
The second-in-command had coated the blade in poison; while not fatal, it could paralyze a person's nerves.
The bandit leader sneered, "Damned magistrate, just obediently become our prize! I will take good care of your family!"
With one blow, he knocked Baicai Bang unconscious, then dragged them all into the house.
"Brother Lin, let's help them! They are so pitiful!" Yu Xiaotang tugged at Lin Kuang's sleeve and said.
"Cultivators should not interfere in mortal affairs, and besides, they brought this on themselves!" Lin Kuang had seen when he entered the wooden house that Magistrate Bai had raised taxes to 90%.
90% was not meant to let ordinary people survive at all! This was clearly meant to strip them of everything! Facing such vicious and wicked people, Lin Kuang chose not to help; after all, it had nothing to do with him.
"Do not harm the children! Bring them back!" the second-in-command ordered.
This wasn't a sudden discovery of conscience, but rather to raise them so they could expand the number of bandits! It would help his underlings solve their family issues.
Before long, Baicai Bang woke up, and a foot stomped fiercely onto his face.
"Magistrate Bai, did you ever think this day would come?" The second-in-command's voice came from above.
"What are you doing this for? Money? My family is very wealthy, I can give it to you!" Baicai Bang's eyes were full of the desire to live: "If it's not enough, I can still raise taxes, just give me a few years!"
"Hahaha! You corrupt official who scrapes the fat off the people! We are punishing you!" Hearing this, the third-in-command, who usually never spoke, slowly walked out from the shadows.
"Do you see this! This arm was broken by your men because I couldn't pay the money!" The third-in-command rolled up his sleeve, and a severed arm was shockingly revealed before their eyes.
"Alright! Since the main character is awake, it's time to get down to business!" The bandit leader grabbed Yao Luyuan's hair and licked his lips.
"We are not like you, we won't waste a single drop!"
"What does that mean?"
"It means, little ones, hurry up and line up! Today we get to be the magistrate for once!"
"Boss, what if I have mysophobia!" a thin, white-clad bandit slowly said.
"Then you go first! I'll line up behind you!"
"You! Aaaah..." Baicai Bang, like an incompetent husband, pounded the ground and wept.
"No! Brother Bai..."
Yu Xiaotang couldn't hold back anymore; she summoned the Fengming Sword and said to Lin Kuang: "Let me go! I'm going to kill those pieces of scum!"
"Calm down! Even if you kill them now, the ordinary people will still suffer!" Lin Kuang held Yu Xiaotang and said calmly: "They are just one family, but how many households of ordinary people are there?"
Yu Xiaotang couldn't listen to reason at all, so Lin Kuang had no choice but to knock her unconscious first.
"What was that noise?" The bandit leader slowly stood up and looked toward the roof.
"Boss, it must be a sparrow, don't worry about it. There are brothers on guard outside!"
"Good! As long as there's nothing wrong, let's continue!"
"I beg you, let me go, I'll give her to you, I'll give you all my money!" Baicai Bang said while kneeling on the ground.
"Hahaha! Little sister, look, your husband doesn't even want you anymore!" The bandit leader said to Yao Luyuan after hearing this.
"No! That's not it!"
"I'm speaking from the heart, let me go, both she and the money are yours!"
"You..." At this moment, her heart went cold. All those passionate vows they had made in the past were now gone.
"Boss, I will be your wife! Kill him for me!"
"No way! That will have to wait until the brothers have had their fun first!"
...
"Sigh! It's not that I don't want to save you; my parents were also ordinary people, and they were also exploited!" Lin Kuang shook his head and flew off into the distance.
"Hey, what was that just now! Something huge was flying in the sky!" said a bandit on guard duty.
"Probably a wild goose!"
"Since when are wild geese that big!"
"Don't worry about it so much, just keep watch! It'll be our turn soon!"
While Lin Kuang was flying, he suddenly saw that familiar figure again.
Liu Ruyan was leading several Cultivators from the Cultivation Alliance in pursuit of several Spirit Beasts.
"Ah! Let them get away!" Liu Ruyan stamped her foot and said angrily.
"What's wrong? Big Sister Liu?" Lin Kuang immediately went over.
Seeing Yu Xiaotang lying in Lin Kuang's arms, Liu Ruyan asked anxiously: "Were you ambushed by that group of Spirit Beasts!"
"Eh? Why do you say that?" Lin Kuang looked at Liu Ruyan, completely confused.
"It's just that a group of wild Crystal Turtles appeared recently, and they've been gathering together to ambush ordinary Cultivators! A few Cultivators were just injured by them!"
"Oh? Is that so?" Lin Kuang thought for a moment and said: "Do you want me to help you? I'm very good at tracking!"
Lin Kuang had long coveted Liu Ruyan; after all, whenever this name appeared in novels, it always represented a femme fatale, and Liu Ruyan was no different.
Her front was quite normal, but her back was extraordinary; overall, she had the figure of a bunny girl from an anime.
"Hmm? What about Yu Xiaotang? She's unconscious, how about we send her to a safe place first!" Liu Ruyan said, pointing at Yu Xiaotang.
"Okay! Let's find a safe place first and get Yu Xiaotang settled!" Lin Kuang also agreed with Liu Ruyan's suggestion.
While Liu Ruyan was escorting them into the nearby town, she kept staring at Lin Kuang.
