“Ling’er, how many bandits lie in ambush? How strong are they?” Ye Mo asked.

“I will try sensing, but I’m not sure if it will be accurate.” Ling’er nodded and started sensing. Next, numerous scenes were transmitted to Ye Mo’s mind.

More than 100 Northwest Bandits were hidden in ambush along the sides of the canyon. Within the canyon itself, a squad of bandits were on patrol duty as well. Those bandits had sharp eyes and were in high alert. They all moved in a similar fashion with light steps, showing no fear amid the cold dark night.

“There are so many of them!” Ye Mo was extremely astonished seeing the scenes transmitted to him. He could even clearly see the strength of those bandits. The majority of them were Energy Shaping Sixth Realm warriors while there were quite a lot of Energy Shaping Seventh to Ninth Realms around as well.

The bandits were all wanted criminals and were all quite capable in their own rights. They indeed had a formidable lineup of members.

“Without anyone in the True Energy Realm on night watch, I am definitely capable of killing them one by one in the night. Moreover, I will be able to do that undetected.” After ascertaining the strength of his opponents, Ye Mo made his mind up. His Will of the Chu Killing Spear was an assassination will, and with Ye Mo’s strength far above these bandits, assassinating these bandits was as easy for him as blowing off dust.

He abruptly lowered his body before streaking towards a certain corner of the canyon. He moved even faster than an early True Energy Realm powerhouse. Ye Mo landed on a certain peak without creating any sound in the process.

Slowly, he advanced. Soon after, he noticed a faint clump of light in the distance. A group of bandits were surrounding a bonfire roasting some animal meat and eating in big mouthfuls. The other bandits were all over the place, looking around with vigilance.

Ye Mo’s face turned cold. These people had committed various crimes such as rape and pillage, and Ye Mo would never show them mercy. Ye Mo flickered and vanished. Immediately, one bandit seated beside the bonfire collapsed on the ground with the smile still on his face.

“Who is it?” The bandit opposite the collapsed bandit shouted when he smelled blood and saw what happened to his companion. He had barely spoken when he felt a cold sensation on his chest. Next, he collapsed onto the ground as well. It was at this moment that the other bandits reacted.

“Enemy attack! Enemy attack!”

Swish!

With yet another black flash, the several shouting bandits felt a cold sensation on their throats. Before their blood could spurt out, they collapsed. The bandits to the right of the canyon were alerted, and even those at the foot at the mountain were alerted as well. Everyone started looking around.

“Who is it that is sneaking around? Come out! How audacious of you to ambush us. Are you tired of living?” Among them, an Energy Shaping Ninth Realm howled loudly while unsheathing his saber.

Swish!

With yet another black flash, the Energy Shaping Ninth Realm bandit collapsed noiselessly.

“It’s not a ghost, right?” asked one of the bandits with a trembling voice. The only thing they could see was a black flash each time one of them died. They couldn’t even see the enemy clearly. If it wasn’t a ghost, what else could it be?

“Ghost your mother. There are no ghosts in this world. That must be a True Energy Realm powerhouse. Quickly release the signal to notify the chief!” berated one of the bandits as he slapped the head of the bandit beside him. The bandit quickly took out a firework from his dimensional bracelet.

How could the concealed Ye Mo allow him to release the signal? After forming a sharp knife, he used Technique of Interchangeability to reap yet another head.

The bandits were completely frightened. They couldn’t flee, but they did not dare call for help either. They were aware that the moment they tried doing something, their heads would be the next to be harvested.

“Lo-lord, please have mercy!” The bandits gave up on escaping and prostrated themselves on the ground begging for mercy instead.

“I am sent here by the chief to assassinate all of you. With the Chen Clan Army increasingly pushing towards us, defeat is imminent. The chief plans to offer your heads to the Chen Clan Army to get a position within their army.” Ye Mo’s hoarse voice started reverberating in all directions, making it difficult for the bandits to figure out his position.

“How is that possible? How will the chief kill us? Just yesterday he was telling us that our position is impenetrable, easily guarded, and hard to attack. He is also slowly refining the Star Map to cultivate the Star Power. Before long, he would be able to become a peak Spirit Devour Realm powerhouse and would not need to fear even Chen Yihan,” said a bandit, but he immediately shut his mouth when he realized that he had said something he shouldn’t have.

“Star Map? That’s valuable information. I am indeed not sent by your chief. Rather, I am an assassin sent by the Chen Clan to kill all you wanted criminals,” Ye Mo said with a sneer.

“Damn it, let’s fight! Although his methods are weird, he is definitely not a True Energy Realm yet. So long as we find him and hold him up, we can release the signal to notify the two lords,” shouted the bandit when he realized that he had been tricked by Ye Mo to speak.

However, they still couldn’t do anything. The black shadow flickered everywhere, with bandits collapsing everywhere before they could even make a sound.

“Has something happened over there? Something seems to be happening. They aren’t being ambushed by some powerhouse, right?” the bandits on the other side of the canyon asked when they noticed something wrong.

“What’s wrong? If there really was an ambush, the signal would have been re...” he felt his throat go cold before collapsing onto the ground, not even able to finish his sentence.

With the Will of the Chu Killing Spear, the concealed Ye Mo was transformed into an executioner. Each strike of his would harvest a life. In a short while, the bandits at the other side were all killed as well.

Let alone the bandits with ordinary strength, even the bandits at True Energy Realm would fall under Ye Mo’s assassination if they were careless. After dealing with the bandits on the two sides of the canyon, it was the turn of the patrolling bandits to be assassinated. Ye Mo did not take long to finish them off either.

Whoosh!

Ye Mo headed straight towards the inner depths of the canyon. It felt like the depths of the canyon was an entirely different world. It was spacious and wide and the constructs at the middle of it were similar to the strongholds of other bandits. And within it, numerous lofty buildings stood, looking like a miniature city.

These bandits had practically declared themselves the kings of this mountain. Relying on geographical superiority, they had been living in this territory for a few years. Ye Mo landed on the top of a three floor building. Through the window, Ye Mo saw that this was a place for men to relax.

Many women were in the building, all of them in various states of undress. Tears were dripping off their faces; evidently, they were unwilling to be here. These women were all prisoners of the Northwest Bandits. The pretty ones would be taken as the wives of the bandits, while the older ones or those with ordinary looks would be all gathered in this building to be shared with all the bandits. Those wanting to have fun with these women would have to pay with some resources which would be taken by the bandits that had captured these women.

“Damned bastards. They have actually harmed so many women!” Ye Mo clenched his teeth in anger before charging inside.
