The mountain bandits of Central Plains are seriously not to be underestimated.
Qin Jiu had been chasing through ravines and valleys for days. His first attack on two petty bandits ended in failure, but he gained the celestial fate of the Scarlet Sand and cultivated successfully. Originally, he intended to exact vengeance, yet who would have expected these bandits to be so shrewd? Once they caught on to being targeted by a cultivator, they packed up, greased their heels, and bolted cleanly. Not only that, even the two bandits wounded and killed by Qin Jiu before—Bandits A and B—turned into liabilities due to their injuries and were swiftly executed by their own comrades to bury their traces. They didn't even bother to bury the numerous corpses left in the camp, vanishing without hesitation.
How could Qin Jiu let this gang of vile, heinous criminals escape? Besides, if he failed this little test, that old monkey would probably beat him half to death!
