"Good, very good." The one who made the move was Li Kaishan. Initially, upon seeing Wang Yi and the other person suddenly appear, he felt a sense of unease, suspecting that they were sent by his sworn enemies. However, he quickly realized that it would be extremely foolish for these two characters to attempt to kill him, especially since they were so brazenly robbing him. He figured they must have had their heads kicked in to act this way. Seeing the bond between Wang Yi and the other person, who were like brothers and relied on each other for life and death, he couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration.
"Boss, why don't you let me kill him?" the big man said angrily.
"Step back; I have my own plans," Li Kaishan replied coldly.
Wang Yi, who had just walked on the edge of life and death, was extremely excited and felt a surge of joy. It seemed that his strategy had worked. He thought to himself, "Li Kaishan is indeed a powerful figure from the Yuan Realm; he is not someone I can easily gauge. I must remain vigilant."
"Hmph, I've already lost. You can kill or torture me as you please," Wang Yi said with a feigned expression of anger, putting on an air of righteousness.
"I have a way for you not only to survive but also to continue being bandits," Li Kaishan said casually.
"Hmph." Wang Yi snorted coldly and replied, "A cat weeping for a mouse's false compassion."
Li Kaishan showed no signs of anger and continued, "As long as you two brothers join me at Heimu Mountain, you can enjoy wealth and glory in the future. Why not take advantage of this opportunity?"
"Really... really?" Niu Meng asked in surprise.
"Hmph, would you really be so kind?" Wang Yi felt a surge of joy in his heart. However, if he agreed too easily, it would inevitably reveal his intentions to Li Kaishan. So he and Niu Meng began to play along together.
Li Kaishan raised an eyebrow; it was clear that Wang Yi was in charge between the two and that he was someone with a very strong sense of vigilance. Maintaining his composure, he said, "Your lives are now entirely in my hands; whether you live or die depends on my word. Joining us will not only give you a backing but also provide you with things you cannot obtain now."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yi sneered inwardly. Li Kaishan was indeed cunning; he first offered a big stick and then a sweet date, making it hard for both of them not to be tempted.
"So what will it be?" Li Kaishan asked.
"Big Boss, I see these two brats are ungrateful, let's just kill them," one of the thugs couldn't help but shout.
"Alright." Wang Yi gritted his teeth and reluctantly agreed, knowing he couldn't keep pretending any longer. Li Kaishan was a ruthless character who wouldn't hesitate to kill; who knew what he might do next?
"Hahaha, good." Li Kaishan said joyfully, "From now on, you two brothers are part of my Heimu Mountain." He then took out an Azure Pine glass bottle from his pocket and tossed it out, saying, "This is the Purple Gold Pill, each of you take one."
"Thank you, Big Boss." Wang Yi caught the bottle. The Purple Gold Pill was a third-grade elixir that could heal light internal injuries and restore damaged meridians; it was a rare Healing Elixir.
He then took one out and handed it to Niu Meng. The Purple Gold Pill was entirely golden, about the size of a soybean, exuding a rich Spiritual Energy with a fragrant aroma. Wang Yi couldn't help but swallow hard and smacked his lips. The Purple Gold Pill was on par with the Golden Radiance Pill, capable of instantly restoring physical injuries. Although he had terrifying recovery abilities thanks to mysterious help, he still needed to maintain appearances to eliminate Li Kaishan's suspicions as much as possible.
Seeing this, Li Kaishan laughed heartily. Wang Yi smiled faintly and opened his mouth to swallow the Purple Gold Pill. Instantly, he felt as if a fiery warmth was burning in his throat, flowing through his meridians and warming his body as if bathed in radiance.
"Er Gou, prepare two horses for Wang Yi and Niu Meng," Li Kaishan said calmly.
Chen Er Gou responded and brought over two Dark Horses, saying, "Here you go."
Wang Yi understood that these people harbored resentment towards him for his earlier actions. If he didn't resolve this in time, he might face difficulties in the future, and his plans for revenge would be hindered. So he clasped his fists and said, "My brothers have offended you earlier; I hope you can bear with it. Thank you once again from Wang Yi."
"Good, good. Since Brother Wang has said this, let's consider this matter settled."
"We're all in the same boat now; there's no need to say sorry."
The bandits were all straightforward individuals with simple minds. Seeing that Wang Yi was so accommodating, they didn't press further. Wang Yi nodded in agreement; at least he had regained some recognition on the surface. As for what happened behind the scenes, he could only be more cautious.
Li Kaishan secretly nodded and looked at Wang Yi with renewed respect. To resolve some grievances with just a few words was truly remarkable.
"Alright, let's go." Li Kaishan shouted as he raised his whip, and the bandits mounted their horses in response.
The Purple Gold Pill was indeed a third-grade elixir; Wang Yi and Niu Meng's injuries had already healed significantly, and their Vital Energy was gradually recovering. They mounted their horses, following the rules of the road, with Wang Yi and Niu Meng positioned at the back since they were newcomers.
A burly man noticed Wang Yi looking at the girl and laughed heartily, "Brother Wang seems to be interested in this lady."
"Ah, this woman is beautiful; how can I not have thoughts about her?" Wang Yi's face turned red, and he cleared his throat.
Hearing this, Chu Wanqing bit her silver teeth and shot a fierce glare at Wang Yi, as if to say "bastard." She wondered, "How did he end up here? Did my brother send them to rescue me? But where is my brother?"
The nursemaid's eyes were filled with fear as she sighed, "Qing'er, don't be afraid. The master will come to save us."
"Hehe, Big Boss has ordered that these two women cannot be touched. Brother Wang, if you want women, next time I'll take you to a good place." The burly man stared at the woman's fair skin with lustful eyes, swallowing hard and speaking reluctantly.
"Oh? What is the identity of these two women?" Wang Yi asked, feigning confusion.
"I don't know about that. However, Big Boss said this transaction is extremely important and told us to keep a close watch." The burly man scratched his head, looking equally puzzled.
Seeing that he couldn't get any more information, Wang Yi stopped talking and turned his gaze to the distance. Ahead appeared a large mountain; although it wasn't very high, it was perilous with cliffs on three sides and no trees growing.
The burly man chuckled and said, "That mountain ahead is Heimu Mountain. Soldiers have come to suppress us several times but have been beaten back miserably." His words revealed a strong sense of pride.
"Indeed, you brothers are truly unmatched in bravery. Heimu Mountain is a great place; it seems I made the right choice in siding with Big Boss," Wang Yi remarked as he withdrew his gaze with a sigh.
"Of course! Without Big Boss, we would have probably been killed by those corrupt officials long ago." The burly man seemed to hold Li Kaishan in high regard, as if he were his savior.
"You bad guys, how dare you insult the Court official! You will not die a good death." Chu Wanqing's face was filled with anger as she said, "My father will not spare you."
"Shut up, you little girl! If you say one more word, I will..." The big man licked his lips.
"You... you dare." Chu Wanqing's gaze flickered, as if startled. She glanced at Wang Yi and mustered her courage to speak.
"Hehe, miss, shut your filthy mouth; it won't do you any harm. Otherwise, this big brother here will follow through on his words." Wang Yi said coldly. He shook his head inwardly, thinking that Chu Wanqing must have grown up in luxury and ignorance; otherwise, she wouldn't even understand the principle of not walking into a tiger's den.
"Hmph, you thief! My big brother will not let you go." Seeing Wang Yi, Chu Wanqing felt her fear diminish by half and waved her delicate fists.
"Oh oh oh..."
At that moment, the Bandits shouted in unison, waving their large knives like howling wolves.
Wang Yi looked around and saw that they were indeed at the foot of a great mountain, so he dismounted. Niu Meng followed closely behind.
Heimu Mountain was indeed a perilous mountain. The roads were rugged and treacherous, surrounded by steep cliffs that seemed to be carved by knives. There was little vegetation, only some sparse grass and trees growing in the mountain.
After a stick of incense worth of time, Wang Yi found himself in the main hall and understood the dangers of Heimu Mountain. The path could only accommodate two horses side by side, making it a formidable barrier. Moreover, every fifty meters there was a Mountain Bandit guarding the area. There were countless houses built on a flat open space within the mountain.
The main hall was supported by eight wooden pillars. The furniture was old and simply arranged. In the center hung a painting of a fierce tiger descending from the mountain. Two tiger skins were laid on two chairs, exuding an unmatched majesty. Over a hundred people sat below; Li Kaishan and Zhou Chang occupied the upper seats while loyal Bandits sat below.
Wang Yi and Niu Meng, being the least experienced, sat in a corner with several other Bandits. Wang Yi glanced around slightly and thought to himself, "This is simply a local tyrant's lair!"
Li Kaishan surveyed everyone and said loudly, "Brothers, today we welcome Wang Yi and Niu Meng, two brothers joining us. Everyone should not deliberately make things difficult for them; harmony is paramount. Otherwise, don't blame me, Li, for being unprincipled."
"Everyone calls it that."
"Brothers, you've worked hard. Let's serve the dishes." Li Kaishan nodded and waved his hand.
As soon as he finished speaking, more than ten women slowly came in carrying food and drinks. Seeing these bandits, they appeared indifferent, as if they were walking corpses. Wang Yi thought that these women must have been captured by Li Kaishan, feeling furious. He clenched his fists and then relaxed them, knowing that he could not act recklessly at this moment. He needed to wait for the right opportunity to gain Li Kaishan's trust and capture all the bandits from Heimu Mountain.
"Come on, Brother Wang, Brother Niu, cheers." A man laughed as he raised a bowl of wine.
The other men at the table exchanged glances and burst into laughter. One of them said, "Brother Wang and Brother Niu, from now on we are all family, so we should celebrate. Let's each toast to them."
Wang Yi and Niu Meng exchanged glances, knowing that if they didn't show some capability, these people wouldn't let it go easily. So they each took a bowl and stood up. "To Big Boss and Second-in-Command, and all the brothers here, we toast to you." They finished their drinks in one go.
"Good." Everyone cheered. They initially thought these two young men were not good at drinking and would hesitate, but they didn't expect Wang Yi and Niu Meng to be so straightforward. Some bandits couldn't help but put away their contempt; after all, Wang Yi and Niu Meng were not weak themselves. In a world where bandits lived by licking blood off blades, having strength was everything; without it, nothing mattered. This was a world where the strong were respected.
"Report... Big Boss, the eldest sister has returned." At this moment, a bandit rushed in urgently and said respectfully.
"My precious daughter has returned." Li Kaishan exclaimed with joy.
