Chapter 1686: Unexpected Change

th nodded readily, everyone wanted as much benefit as possible, but in this situation, the three of them were already on the same boat. Since Lu Xiaoteng had promised them priority, there was nothing...As for the spoils, they will be temporarily held by Yu Zi Mo until we return, and then they will be distributed. 。These bandits are surprisingly fast. 。Judging by their appearance, they don't all seem to have sand-restraining beads. 。"Lu Xia Tian said with some bewilderment, " 。“Lu, you might not know this, but these desert bandits have been active here for years. Every so often they consume a spiritual herb called “Shaji Grass” which also allows them to avoid being affected by the sand dust. The only problem is, this Shaji Grass only grows deep within the desert, and it’s rare to find on the outskirts.” 。This is also the reason why bandits are relentless. 。As a newcomer, it is difficult to pose a mortal threat to the bandits who have the advantage of terrain. Even a powerful cultivator who has reached the Nascent Soul stage will be greatly affected by their divine consciousness when they enter this place. 。"Yu Zi Mo patiently explained," 。"Something's wrong!" Lu Xiaoxiao's face suddenly changed. 。“What’s wrong” Yu Zi Mo asked puzzled. 。"The bandits are acting strange, retreat!" Lu Xia Tian said in a deep voice. 。"Is this really true How come we didn't notice" 。Guo Jingyu's face clearly showed a hint of disbelief. 。As soon as the words left his mouth, the two smaller squads on the outskirts panicked and fled backwards. 。Swoosh, a series of dense sounds came from the ground. 。“We’ve been tricked, retreat quickly!” A middle-aged man in front clutched his injured left arm and cried out as he retreated. 。"Oh no, a swarm of venomous sand ants are blocking our way back!" 。Another cry of alarm went up from behind. 。Unexpectedly, after decades of not clearing the Yan Sha Ridge, these bandits have grown so powerful. 。A majestic voice boomed, and a huge shadow enveloped the area from mid-air. The colossal phantom stretched out its arm and pointed. The swirling sandstorm that had obscured vision vanished instantly, revealing what lay behind. A band of fifty or sixty fierce sand bandits, each riding atop a giant yellow and black striped ant, came into view. 。 。 。Had it not been for the imposing voice that instilled confidence in these intruders, they would have likely retreated and dispersed at this very moment. 。“Wu Qinghe, I knew it. After you intercepted the Ice Eagle Soul Lantern, Yuanling City would definitely send you, someone familiar with the situation in Yanshaling, to eradicate us. After hundreds of years of grudges, we should settle them.” 。A deep voice responded with equal force. A lone figure clad in brown crystal armor, with a dark complexion and riding atop a massive cockatoo-crested flying python, slowly approached through the rolling sandstorm. 。

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked. They had originally thought that with Wu Qinghe, a powerful cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage, stationed in Yanshala Ridge, even if they couldn't completely eliminate the Sand Bandits, it would at least be a smooth campaign. Who could have imagined that another Nascent Soul stage cultivator appeared in Yanshala Ridge!

It seems that there is still an unresolved grudge between him and Wu Qinghe. 。"Yue Donglai, I didn't expect you to actually advance to the Nascent Soul Stage. If I had known this beforehand, I shouldn't have been afraid of that little trouble and just killed you with a single palm strike." 。Keep a tiger as a pet 。 。Wǔ Qīnghé, with a solemn expression, looked utterly surprised. 。With a slap of his hand into the void, a sudden burst of thunder shook the air. 。Winds and clouds surge wildlyto her current Nascent Soul early stage, survive in the chaotic demon domain, and make it to where she is today. It was Lu Xiaotian's support that proved key.Qing Li has always held a deep sense of gr...
