Chapter 225: Demon Bandits

After that, Chen Ansheng returned to the palace and told Grandmother Chen to rest easy here. Whenever he had free time, he would come to accompany her.

For the first time in her life, Grandmother Chen tasted so many novel foods and saw different beautiful scenery, so she was naturally happy to stay here.

Emerging from the spirit realm, Chen Ansheng planned to set off immediately to find a piece of unclaimed land in the Sinful Dragon Sea.

“Ansheng, where is your grandmother? Where did she go?” Second Uncle asked with concern and confusion.

“Second Uncle, my grandmother is fine. She is resting in my space treasure,” Chen Ansheng replied.

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

If Ansheng’s grandmother had just left like that, he would have been heartbroken.

Now that was good; this kid had impressive abilities and could save his grandmother, which made everyone happy in their hearts.

“Good, good, good! Ansheng, it’s all thanks to you for coming back, not only ridding our village of the demon threat but also curing your grandmother’s illness. Truly a double joy! Tonight, we will hold a grand feast; no one will leave until drunk,” Second Uncle said happily.

Chen Ansheng, however, shook his head and said, “Second Uncle, I need to hurry to find medicine for my grandmother. I can’t delay for even a moment. Next time I come back, I will host a feast to thank everyone for taking care of my grandmother.”

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

“Alright, your grandmother’s situation cannot be delayed, so we won’t keep you. Be cautious while you are out.”

“Yes, I know.”

Then, Chen Ansheng said goodbye to the villagers and soared into the sky toward the nearest teleportation array.

Two days later.

After passing through over ten teleportation arrays, Chen Ansheng finally arrived at the legendary region of the Sinful Dragon Sea.

What unfolded before his eyes was an endless expanse of black sea.

At the coast’s teleportation array, people emerged continuously.

These individuals came to the Sinful Dragon Sea to try their luck, to see if they could obtain a piece of unclaimed land, or to respond to some powerful force’s call to help fight for territory.

Among them were true immortals, but most were mysterious immortals. As for celestial immortals, Chen Ansheng had yet to see any.

“Everyone, do not linger. Let’s head to Peace City first; fighting is prohibited there and it’s relatively safe.”

As Chen Ansheng was gazing at the black ocean in confusion, he heard a cultivator in battle armor among a group of newly emerged individuals speaking.

“Brother Wu, let’s report directly to Lord Li. Why go to Peace City?”

“Nonsense.” The leading cultivator shot a glare at the other person and said, “This Sinful Dragon Sea is no ordinary place; various malevolent beings, immortals, demons, and demon bandits are thick as hair. Only teleporting from Peace City ensures safety; otherwise, you might be dismembered before you even reach the immortal island.”

The others gasped, “Is it really that dangerous?”

“What do you think? This place is essentially a killing field, teeming with desperate criminals! Just follow my instructions,” the leader commanded.

“Yes, yes, yes. We will obey Brother Wu’s arrangements.”

The group didn’t delay and rushed east along the coast.

Chen Ansheng, hearing this, silently followed behind them, planning to go to Peace City first to scout the situation.

After flying for about a quarter of an hour, the group constantly used their celestial senses to keep track of Chen Ansheng behind them.

“Brother Wu, someone is following us!”

“Don’t worry about it; we’ll fly at full speed and will arrive soon.”

“That guy is just at the mid-level of mysterious immortals. Why don’t we catch him by surprise and take him out first?”

“Don’t create unnecessary trouble! Otherwise, you won’t even know how you died!” the leader scolded angrily.

Just as his words fell, several figures suddenly surged out of the black ocean ahead.

“Be careful!”

The leading cultivator shouted in terror.

Sensing the murderous intent, the group quickly activated their celestial power for defense, weapons at the ready.

“If you want to live, leave behind your valuables, or die!”

The figures revealed themselves, each covered in scales and looking exceptionally strange.

“Pirates!”

Seeing these individuals, the leading cultivator’s face turned pale.

“Hmph, since you know our identity, hand over all your resources obediently!”

The leading cultivator was about to surrender his storage bag when a burly man beside him got enraged, “You bastards! I live by the sword; do you think I’ll let you lowly scum bully me?”

The burly man was at the late stage of mysterious immortals, his anger boiling as he rushed forward wielding his celestial sword.

“Slash!”

With a loud shout, the burly man struck out a fiercely domineering sword light.

“Seeking death!”

Swish! Swish! Swish!

The bandits moved simultaneously, their figures transforming into streams of black light, flashing through the air.

“Ah!”

A scream pierced the air as the burly man’s arm was severed by the sharp blade.

Thud!

His back was also pierced by black claws.

“Spare me, immortal!” The burly man was engulfed by the threat of death and immediately begged for mercy.

The bandit ignored him completely; with a surge of celestial power, they shattered the burly man’s celestial body.

Seeing this scene, the remaining individuals panicked.

“Run!”

The leading cultivator shouted and turned to flee.

Swish! Swish! Swish…

However, just as they flew a short distance, a large gang of bandits surged out from the sea behind, blocking their escape route.

Also intercepted was Chen Ansheng, who had been following the group.

Before them stood ten demon bandits, each exuding the aura of late-stage mysterious immortals.

“Esteemed gentlemen, let’s talk this over. We’ll hand over our things, and we hope you’ll spare our lives.”

The leading cultivator had no choice but to surrender his storage bag, relinquishing its ownership to the demon bandits.

“Hahaha.”

The leading bandit laughed wildly.

“If you had done this sooner, wouldn’t we all be fine?”

Under the pressure of the bandits, everyone obediently handed over their storage bags.

At that moment, one of the bandits stepped in front of Chen Ansheng.

“What are you dawdling for? Hand over your storage bag!”

The bandit raised his claws, pointing at Chen Ansheng.

“I will give it, I will give it right away.”

Chen Ansheng feigned a terrified expression, but in his heart, he was calculating.

These ten bandits were all at the late stage of mysterious immortals, with a considerable level of cultivation.

However, none of them emitted any fluctuations of magical power.

This meant that they were unlikely to break his magical techniques.

His resources, which he had worked so hard to obtain, were not something he would hand over just like that.

Not only did Chen Ansheng not want to comply, but he also wanted to seize the opportunity!

Free resources that came knocking on his door should not be wasted.

Seeing Chen Ansheng’s fearful and submissive demeanor, the bandit sneered coldly, his eyes flashing with a playful murderous intent.

“Well, here, take it.”

Chen Ansheng took out an empty storage bag and tossed it forward.

“Just be afraid you have a life to take it but no life to spend it!”

As the bandit went to catch the storage bag, he suddenly felt the space twist, a strange force wrapping around his body.

Clang!

In the next moment, a sword light struck swiftly.

Before the bandit could break free from the binding, the celestial sword light pierced through his abdomen!
