Back then, Yue Qianchou's reputation as a scoundrel and madman in the Huaxia Cultivation World was well-known. However, for the lowly disciples of various sects, Yue Qianchou's rebellious, unruly, and arduous struggle to achieve success inspired their fervent admiration.

Because they all came from humble backgrounds, Yue Qianchou's success represented hope for them. While not everyone can succeed, it at least offered a tangible hope. This genuinely influenced many people.

As for whether Yue Qianchou is a scoundrel or a madman, what does it have to do with them? Yue Qianchou has never been a scoundrel, nor has he ever been mad. Whether he's a scoundrel or a madman is something only the aforementioned opinions can address.

At least those grassroots disciples who had contact with Yue Qianchou had a completely different view of him than those of the higher-ups. The Yue Qianchou they saw, and the Yue Qianchou they spoke of, was so kind and approachable, so lovable.

No matter how insignificant you are as a disciple, Yue Qianchou won't ignore you like some people do. He'll talk to you warmly, treating you as an equal, without the slightest air of a renowned master in the Cultivation World. Many lowly disciples have received his greetings, a fact many can attest to. People say he's ruthless, a scoundrel, a madman, but he's actually just someone who hates evil. It's just that some people are deliberately slandering and framing him out of jealousy... That's how those grassroots disciples describe Yue Qianchou.

The Cultivation World is inherently a place where the strong prey on the weak, and the junior disciples in the sects feel there is much injustice, yet few dare to openly rebel.

At this point, Yue Qianchou became the subject of their secret gossip. The story of how he, still in the Core Formation stage, had taken care of someone's son or grandson was brought up countless times. The more they talked about it, the more fantastical and excited they became, wishing they were Yue Qianchou and could jump out and give that person a good beating.

Such rhetoric is highly contagious among the lower echelons of various factions; the more oppressive the situation, the more it spreads. Many novice disciples even grew up listening to the legends of Yue Qianchou.

Some radicals even tattooed the three characters "Yue Qianchou" on their arms, chests, and backs—a truly ferocious display. There's an interesting story behind the Yue Qianchou " tattoo.

Two new gangs have recently emerged in the Huaxia Cultivation World: the "Hong Gang" and the "Qing Gang." These two gangs roam the Cultivation World committing crimes, not exactly utterly wicked, but they are capable of arson, murder, robbery, and all sorts of other evil deeds. They also continuously recruit Rogue Cultivator as members, and in a short period of time, both organizations have reached a membership of over a thousand.

Unlike ordinary rabble, these two Cultivation World gangs are extremely secretive organizations with highly standardized training methods, leading some to suspect they might be working together. When they commit crimes, they are truly ruthless and fearless, striking wherever they are directed.

Many sects that had been harassed repeatedly sent people to suppress them, but these two groups were swift and elusive, always playing guerrilla warfare and never settling in a fixed location. When they needed to commit a crime, they would gather from all directions, and after the crime, they would disperse and go their separate ways, suggesting they had a unique method of communication. No one knew where their hideout was.

Because these are extraordinary times, all factions are constantly on guard against an attack from Wuji Island and cannot afford to spend a lot of time diverting elite troops to continuously search for them. Furthermore, most of the members in these two gangs are low-level cultivators, so no one believes they pose a significant threat. As a result, taking advantage of this opportunity, both gangs have shown a growing tendency to expand their influence.

In addition, both gangs have dozens of exceptionally skilled fighters, making them no match for most smaller sects. To avoid trouble, both Righteous Path and demonic sects are paying protection money to survive. They have no choice! If they don't pay, the gangs will resort to arson, murder, and robbery. The major sects of Righteous and Demonic paths simply don't have the time to eradicate them.

These two gangs are quite interesting. Not only do they not invade each other's territory, but they also know exactly how to collect protection money from smaller sects, keeping to themselves and their own business. The "Qing Gang" collects money from the unorthodox sects, while the "Hong Gang" collects money from the Righteous Path. When they encounter a tough opponent, the two gangs will even join forces to deal with them.

Although in the eyes of the major sects they were nothing more than a gang of habitual bandits, easily wiped out when the time was right, the Green and Red Gangs were seen by the smaller sects as the administrators of Righteous and Demonic paths factions. If any sect dared to defy them, these two gangs would find an opportunity to eliminate any obstacles at the higher levels and install a new leader.

With their strict organizational discipline and some clever methods, the Green Gang and the Red Gang became two forces that could not be ignored in a short period of time.

None of the factions expected that these tangled, independent Rogue Cultivator could actually amount to something. Just as they were fighting against Wuji Island, the Cultivation World Alliance considered recruiting the "Hong Gang" and the "Qing Gang." However, the leaders of these two gangs were elusive and had never been seen, making recruitment impossible.

Once, several dozen newly recruited disciples of the Myriad Demon Palace went down the mountain for training, but they were unlucky and encountered a robbery by the "Hong Gang" bandits. Among the group from the Myriad Demon Palace, the leader, an elder in the early Tribulation stage, had the highest cultivation level and naturally had to fight back with all his might. However, two experts of the same level suddenly appeared from the "Hong Gang" and captured the elder in no time.

As for the other novice disciples, they were no match for the seasoned bandits of the "Hong Gang." Apart from a few who were killed, they were all captured alive and had their Dantian sealed. Just as these prisoners were being searched, one female disciple from the Myriad Demon Palace refused to be searched, fearing that her purity would be defiled.

But who has ever seen a bandit who shows mercy to a woman? The "Hong Gang" thugs were no exception. They went a little too far and tore the female disciple's clothes, leaving her bare shoulders exposed!

Just then, the leader of the "Hong Gang" gang suddenly shouted, "Stop!" He strode up to the sobbing female disciple, pointed to the tattoo on her shoulder, and asked, "Do you know Yue Qianchou?"

It turns out that the female disciple had the three characters "Yue Qianchou" tattooed on her shoulder, and it seemed that some design had been done, as the tattoo was very exquisite and delicate.

"I don't know him," the female disciple replied in fear, unsure of what he wanted to do.

The bandit leader was puzzled and asked, "If you don't know Yue Qianchou, why do you have the name Yue Qianchou tattooed on your shoulder?"

The female disciple replied tremblingly, "Because I greatly admire Senior Yue Qianchou, and at the same time, I hope that the auspiciousness of Senior Yue's name will bring me peace of mind."

"Uh..." the bandit leader asked suspiciously, "Just because of this? You tattooed Yue Qianchou's name on your shoulder?"

He couldn't understand it; how could a woman casually tattoo a stranger's name on her body? He even wondered if he had somehow gotten involved with Yue Qianchou's old flame.

"Yes...yes," the female disciple replied.

"Don't lie to me, hehe! Otherwise, you'll suffer a terrible fate." The bandit leader threatened menacingly, "Tell me honestly, what exactly is your relationship with Yue Qianchou?"

While the female disciple was trembling with fear, a male disciple who had already been searched couldn't stand it any longer and shouted, "Hong Gang thugs, what kind of skill is it to bully women? If you have the guts, come at me. I also have the words 'Yue Qianchou' tattooed on my body."

As he spoke, he ripped off his sleeve, revealing the three characters "Yue Qianchou" embroidered on his arm.

"Still dare to talk back... Bang!" One of the guards immediately knocked him down with a punch.

"Stop!" The bandit leader shouted, halting his men's advance. He pulled the fallen male disciple to his feet, spat into his palm, and then frantically rubbed the tattoo on the disciple's arm. Finding it wouldn't rub off, he released the disciple, muttering with some surprise, "It really is a tattoo!"

The beaten male disciple gritted his teeth and said, "A bunch of cowardly scoundrels! If Senior Yue Qianchou were still alive, how could your 'Hong Gang' and 'Qing Gang' be so arrogant in the Cultivation World? Just you wait and see! Sooner or later, Senior Yue will return with his hundreds of Rogue Cultivators. With Senior Yue's hatred of evil, that will be your death day."

The bandit leader was taken aback by what he said, and then his eyes became somewhat unfocused, as if he had remembered something.

"Not bad!" Just then, another disciple stepped forward, tearing open his shirt to reveal the three characters "Yue Qianchou" tattooed on his chest. He roared indignantly, "A bunch of shameless scoundrels! Kill them if you want! Senior Yue will come back to deal with you sooner or later!"

"Kill them if you want... Swish swish..." Five or six more sleeves were torn off, and several more people stepped forward, their bare arms all tattooed with the three characters "Yue Qianchou".

The group of robbers were dumbfounded. They had seen fearless people before, but they had never seen so many. Could it be that the "Yue Qianchou" tattoo gave them courage? Even the Myriad Demon Palace elder who had been subdued was also astonished, seemingly not expecting that so many of his disciples would have the three characters "Yue Qianchou" tattooed on their bodies.

The bandit leader stood there scratching his head for a while, then asked in surprise, "Aren't you people from the Myriad Demon Palace? How come you're all involved with Yue Qianchou?"

The bare-chested disciple strode forward with an air of righteous indignation, approaching step by step and saying, "Because Senior Yue is upright and incorruptible, helps the weak and punishes the wicked, and specifically targets villains like you, we all admire him. Bah! Senior Yue's name is not worthy of being mentioned by a lowly scoundrel like you. Don't tarnish Senior Yue's name. Just wait! Senior Yue will come back to deal with you sooner or later."

The bandit leader could easily have dealt with him, but the man kept calling him "Senior Yue" and relentlessly pressured him, forcing him to retreat. His expression was extremely complicated. A group of Blood Qi newcomers, seeing that Senior Yue's name could intimidate the bandit leader, were instantly fired up. They all flashed their "Yue Qianchou" tattoos and charged forward, stupidly shouting nonsense like "Kill me if you want."
