Bound hand and foot, Tang Sanzang was escorted straight to the foot of the mountain by a bandit and his men.
"What is the meaning of this? Are you trying to use this fellow to threaten us?"
The soldiers at the foot of the mountain looked at Tang Sanzang in the bandits' custody, utterly unsure what they intended to do.
"This is an eminent monk from the Eastern Tang. He is a very important person."
The bandit said little else and simply shoved Tang Sanzang over to the soldiers.
"Our crimes are already beyond forgiveness. We don't want to drag an ordinary man down with us."
With that said, the bandits turned and left.
Though his mouth was gagged, Tang Sanzang kept struggling as he watched the bandits walk away.
The soldiers took Tang Sanzang away, then devoted all their attention to storming Bandit Mountain.
Although Nüyin had racked her brains, all her efforts still came to nothing.
The soldiers sent against the bandits were simply far too powerful.
Against those soldiers, the bandits had no ability to fight back at all.
Under such circumstances, no matter how Nüyin exploited the advantages of Bandit Mountain's terrain, it made no difference.
The moment Bandit Mountain fell, Nüyin drew a deep breath, without the slightest thought of retreating.
Just as she had said before, this was her home. Since her home was about to disappear, she would never leave this place alone.
Watching the soldiers about to reach her, Nüyin wore a helpless expression.
If only the bandits had been a little stronger, things would never have come to this.
But there was no point in thinking about any of that now.
Looking at the Bandit Mountain she knew so well, Nüyin sighed and leaped, intending to throw herself off the mountain.
