"What the Bear King said is right, but what concerns me more is a message delivered earlier by some unknown person. It said that the Three No-Rules Bandits we sent out seem to have fallen as well.
"And from the description in the letter, the person who took them down was also the one who captured Ling Longzi."
In Western Heaven War City, within the Little Western Heaven Realm.
The moment the Winter Elder spoke, everyone's expression changed.
The Three No-Rules Bandits were notorious throughout the surrounding continents. They burned, killed, robbed, and plundered, committing every evil imaginable. Their name came not only from their names-Wu Li, Wu Qing, and Wu Yi, which sounded like "no propriety," "no compassion," and "no righteousness"-but also from their ruthless methods. Almost no one survived their attacks. If anything valuable caught their eye, they would seize it. They were despised by people and dogs alike.
In truth, however, the Three No-Rules Bandits were gathering resources for Western Heaven War City. Over the years, the treasures they delivered had helped the Western Heaven War Hall nurture quite a few powerful cultivators.
Their leader, Wu Li, had also advanced to Earth Sovereign thanks to the Western Heaven War Emperor's assistance.
This time, however, the Three No-Rules Bandits had fallen. Had someone not secretly delivered a letter, the Winter Elder would probably still have known nothing about it.
"Elder Winter, something doesn't add up. The Three No-Rules Bandits wouldn't dare admit they belong to our Western Heaven War Hall. Since they've been captured, the person who sent the letter certainly wasn't their captor. In that case, how did the sender know they were our people?" Ling Feizi asked with a frown.
The others turned toward him as well. Though they said nothing, they shared the same doubts.
