10 The Crimson Bandit

The morning of the next day...

Xuanyuan Wentian got out of bed early as usual and started to mediation before doing the activity.

Shortly thereafter, Xuanyuan Wentian gradually opened his eyes. His eyes were like the deep sea beneath the dawn rays, yet it was subtly fluctuating like strong waves...

"According to the rumors that had spread in the city, the Crimson Bandit had appeared on Purple Swan Mountain" he began to open his mouth.

Crimson Bandit is a well-known group of bandits in the Sky Cloud Territory.

They are famous for their atrocities when robbing a merchant who is transacting through the mountains. They not only stole but also killed the victim and slaughtered the victim's neck until it was separated from its body and hung it over a pole.

They even plundered a village and slaughtered all the villagers in a mountainous area, they used the heads of the villagers as the sign of their visit.

The ruthless cruelty of the Crimson Bandit when seizing its victims has attracted a lot of reaction and anger from various big factions in the Sky Cloud Territory.

One of that big factions is the Water Jade House.

They are even willing to spend a lot of money and resources to find out the whereabouts of the Crimson Bandit.

However, the reason was still unknown.

Hearsay, the Crimson Bandit has robbed and killed one of the members of the Water Jade House.

Another says that the Saintess of the Water Jade House has been the target of Crimson Bandit's operations and died in the hand of theirs.

There was even the spread of rumors that the Saintess of the Water Jade House's virginity had been stained and seized shortly after being robbed and killed.

There were many other bad rumors regarding the Water Jade House's retaliation against Crimson Bandit.

It is known, all members of the Water Jade House are women who are still pure, clear and pristine. They are simply a group of unstained perfect women.

Therefore, the Water Jade House had put up a bounty on the member of Crimson Bandit's head.

Whoever can decapitate a member of a Crimson Bandit's head and bring it to the Water Jade House will receive 10,000 gold for each head.

The bounty announced by the Water Jade House spread like a wildfire, making its way throughout the Sky Cloud Territory...

Making the entire Sky Cloud Territory was stirred.

Every cultivator in the Sky Cloud Territory spared no expense. Unfortunately, up until now, no one can find the trail of any member of the Crimson Bandit, because the Crimson Bandit was famous not only for their cruel robberies but also with their cunningness.

At this time there was another rumor circulating in the Sky Cloud City about the appearance of Crimson Bandit on Mount Purple Swan. Even so, they still can't find any trace of Crimson Bandit in there.

Xuanyuan Wentian wanted to try his luck. He was always believed in his own luck. Since he is always able to do things that no one else can do, there's a chance that maybe he can find Crimson Bandit accidentally.

Besides, he also needs to find a Spiritual Medicine on Purple Swan Mountain, by chance he will try to inquire the traces of them.

The Spiritual Medicine that he will look for is the Purple Order Grass.

His cultivation progress has been advanced too fast in a year in a sect. Although he never suspected and felt anything wrong about the advancement of his cultivation, there is nothing wrong if he has to be on guard if a bad possibility arises such as the instability of his cultivation which will be fatal later and will hinder his own future.

The Purple Order Grass is a typical Spiritual Medicine that grows on Mount Purple Swan. It can help stabilize one's foundation when the cultivator advances too fast.

Many people want and seek this Spiritual Medicine, but not just anyone who knows where the Purple Order Grass grows.

Luckily he had someone in the sect who was concerned about his cultivation progress. Who else if it wasn't Old Wang, Xuanyuan Wentian did not have a teacher to guide him on the path of cultivation. However, since he met Old Wang, he was always given several important directions that needed to be considered for his own cultivation.

Honestly speaking, he was very grateful to Old Wang. However, he was very suspicious of the real figure of Old Wang, he was quite sure that Old Wang was not an ordinary figure on the Sky Cloud Sect because he could not feel the slightest Spiritual Qi from his body, even he could not see through his actual cultivation.

To say the Sky Cloud Sect placed a mortal as a Guardian of the Martial Pavilion, it's rather impossible.

Well, it doesn't matter to him. All he had to do right now was to find the Purple Order Grass that Old Wang said to help strengthen his foundation. Then try to find the trail of Crimson Bandit on Purple Swan Mountain.

...

The sun has risen from the east.

A silver masked man dressed in black was walking through mountains filled with slopes and trees.

According to information provided by Old Wang about the Purple Order Grass, its grew in a gorge south of Mount Purple Swan. However, a mountain range is so vast with trees and makes it difficult for people looking for that place, let alone finding the Purple Order Grass.

"Sigh, if only I knew the exact location" Xuanyuan Wentian was only given a little information from Old Wang, the rest he had to find out for himself.

Suddenly he heard a crisp woman's voice not far from his direction.

"Do you really know the exact location where the Purple Order Grass grows?" the woman's voice asked as if suspecting something toward her companion.

Xuanyuan Wentian's eyes lifted thoroughly as if he found a bright spot from his long dark path.
