The Disciple Reward System
Chapter 32: The Mastermind

"What's going on? Who would dare to attack our mountain fortress?”

Right now, a middle-aged man came out from a rather luxurious stone house.

The middle-aged man looked at the fleeing mountain bandits in a state of panic and frowned.

“Second commander, there is a problem. Strong cultivators are attacking our mountain fortress!”

When the bandits saw the second commander, they quickly gathered around him as if they had seen their savior.

When the second commander saw this, he could only narrow his eyes. Very quickly, he saw three women wielding sharp weapons, quickly taking the lives of the bandits.

"Gorgeous girls!"

When the second commander saw Yue, he immediately revealed a lewd expression. However, his expression quickly changed.

The strength of those bandits was not weak. However, this group of women easily took their lives. It is clear that these women are strong.

“Brother, hurry back and grab your weapon. Let's catch these three girls!”

Komandan kedua meraung dengan marah. Dia kemudian kembali ke rumah batu dan mengeluarkan pisau panjang yang tajam.

"Follow the second commander and capture the girls together!"

......

Under the lead of the second commander, the bandits instantly became more confident. They rushed towards Huang Ling and the others with long swords, sticks, and other weapons.

However, their expressions immediately changed.

The cultivation level of these three women was extremely strong. They could not even get close to them before being cut in half by the sharp sword qi.

Shua!

As the terrifying sword qi flashed by, a stone house not far from there suddenly split into two and instantly exploded.

"Damn! These girls are so strong!”

The second commander looked at this scene and narrowed his eyes.

It was clear that these three women had not used their full strength before, which caused him to misjudge their strength!

The strength they showed now showed that the three of them had actually reached a state of true essence.

Although he was not weak, he was only at the first level of the true essence state, and was also not very strong. Any core disciple of the main sect who was at the same cultivation level as him would be able to easily destroy him.

These three women were very young, but their cultivation level had reached a state of true essence. They should be genius cultivators from one of the top sects. Given their strength, the bandits were no match for them.

Therefore, he had to seize the opportunity to escape with his life.

“My brother, hurry and kill them. Don't be afraid!”

The second commander roared furiously and urged the surrounding bandits to attack Huang Ling's group. However, the next second, he stopped and suddenly ran in the other direction in panic.

“Hmph! Can you escape?"

Seeing this, Yue eyes shone with a cold light. The sword in his hand shone brilliantly. In an instant, he had flown over a dozen bandits and charged towards the second commander.

"Damn!"

Seeing this, the second commander's expression inevitably changed. The long blade in his hand then released its true essence energy, cutting a stone that weighed thousands of jin that crashed into Yue.

He wanted to use the power of the boulder to hinder Yue's pursuit.

Shua! Shua!

However, he was destined to be disappointed. The sword in Yue's hand shone brightly. The sharp sword qi instantly shattered the huge rock into pieces.

Whooshing sound!

A huge commotion had occurred in the fortress, so the first commander was naturally aware of it.

However, after seeing the strength Huang Ling and the others displayed, he immediately decided to retreat. While the second commander and the others were fighting against Huang Ling, he was secretly using the secret path of the fortress to escape.

Had it only been Huang Ling and the others, the first commander might have been able to escape calmly. Unfortunately, there was still Ye Xuan who had reached the golden core state.

In the next instant, the pressure that even caused the soul of the first commander to feel fear quietly spread.

His footsteps suddenly stopped, and his body could not stop trembling. Most importantly, he found that he could no longer move.

No one helped him. The difference in strength between the two sides was simply too great.

A commander of a third level true essence country was like an ant in Ye Xuan's eyes.

Ah…

Whirr...

It's rumbling!

In a short period of time, all the bandits in the mountain fortress had been annihilated.

Ye Xuan, who was standing on a boulder, stretched out her hand and gently made a grabbing motion. The secret passageway in the mountain fortress immediately opened, and then a terrifying invisible force gripped the neck of the first commander and pulled him out.

The eyes of the first commander were filled with despair. He wanted to kneel down and beg for mercy, but not only could he not move, he could not even speak.

Ye Xuan didn't bother listening to him. His powerful spiritual sense instantly attacked the commander's soul as he used the simplest and most ruthless method to find the information he wanted.

"okay! Let's go!"

After finding the information he needed, Ye Xuan gently patted the first commander's body and immediately exploded.

Ye Xuan then turned around and looked at Yue.

"Teacher, I ..."

Seeing this, the hand of Yue who was holding the Qingyun sword inevitably trembled slightly.

He naturally knew what Ye Xuan implied. His master had already discovered the existence of the bandit group that massacred his village two years ago.

It was true that Ye Xuan had indeed discovered the whereabouts of those bandits from the memories of the first commander.

Coincidentally, the first commander of this mountain fortress not only knew what happened two years ago, but he also knew some information relating to the Xuanyin sect.

The reason why the bandits around Yunhei City were so brutal was indeed related to the Xuanyin sect.

That cultivation practitioner from the Xuanyin sect actually ordered those bandits to slaughter the villagers. Their goal was very simple; they wanted to gather enough qi and blood essence.

“Secte Xuanyin really deserves to die!”

At that moment, there was a cold gleam in Ye Xuan's eyes.

Although the memories of the first commander indicated that he did not know if the cultivation practitioner was from the Xuanyin sect at first, after Ye Xuan saw the martial technique displayed by the other party, it was not clear if it was true, he knew the other party's identity.

Moreover, it was clear from the memories of the first commander that the massacre in Yue village had something to do with the Xuanyin sect.

If not for the instructions of the cultivation practitioners of the Xuanyin sect, that group of bandits would not have massacred the Yue village. At most, they would plunder and steal the wealth of the villagers.

Originally, the bandit group had only plundered the village's wealth. However, under the instructions of the cultivation practitioners of the Xuanyin sect, they returned and massacred all the villagers in Lin Shi village.

Simple reason. The Xuanyin Sect had agreed to give them cultivation methods, medicinal pills, and weapons as long as they slaughtered all the villagers.

The Mountain Miracle Fortress, where the first commander was located, also received similar benefits from the Xuanyin sect.

Under the instructions of the cultivation practitioners of the Xuanyin sect, the first commander and the others had slaughtered three villages.

Whether it was an old man with a foot in the grave or a newborn child, they had all been slaughtered!
