Over The World, Beyond Heaven

Chapter 1123 1123: The Reverse Incident (1)

Why!?

The three young women shouted in unison upon hearing Zheng-Fu's advice. But the most curious person was Lin-Nie. She was confident that her recommended route was the safest way to escape the bandits. Moreover, if they followed the same route they came from, they might have a chance of encountering bandits if the bandits split into two groups to lie in wait and ambush them.

"I told you, believe it or not, it's up to you all. I'll excuse myself!" Zheng-Fu did not explain further, other than saying goodbye and walking towards the direction the three young women had traveled from earlier.

Ah!

You!

Lin-Ying looked very angry at Zheng-Fu's expression. Ever since she grew up, some young men had wanted to approach her and flirt with her every day. But this young man ignored her and did not pay any attention to her at all. The important thing was that he liked to keep his face cold and annoying until it made her feel inexplicably irritated. But no matter how dissatisfied she expressed, the young man did not care and quickly walked away.

"Which way should we go, Sister Lin-Nie? Should we go the way you told us, or should we follow him?" Lin-Xi asked with a worried look. She began to feel frightened. Even though she was a Heavenly Deity Originate Stage cultivator, she had never really fought or been in the midst of killing before. If something like that really happened, she would not be able to do anything but stand still and scream out loud in fear.

"We'll follow him!"

Lin-Nie!

Lin-Nie immediately decided to follow the young man who had given them advice. Even though he looked mysterious, his eyes showed no lies or deception.

"No need to say anything. Let's hurry!"

All right!

Let's go!

As soon as they made up their minds, the three young women controlled the huge wolf monster beasts to turn around and run after Zheng-Fu.

A few minutes later...

Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!

"Where have the victims gone? Aren't they supposed to be around here?" A middle-aged man with tan skin, a thick beard, and a scar on his face said displeasedly as he reached the spot where the three young women and Zheng-Fu had been.

"There are footprints here, sir, Chief! It looked like the footprints of wolf monster beasts. It was probably their beasts of burden. These footprints had gone back the same path. And from the warmth around these traces, I don't think they could have gone very far!" A skinny middle-aged man with an ugly face and buck teeth examined the traces on the ground. He found some fresh traces and reported them to his chief.

Hah?

"Go back the same path they came? Crazy bastard! Didn't those people say that victims wouldn't go back on the same path? What the hell is this? If I had known before, I would have left someone to watch over here!" The bandits' chief was extremely enraged. Because the employer had clearly told them all the details and plans. It should not be a mistake.

"So, what do we do next, Chief? Will we follow…"

Slap!

"Must follow! Are you going to wait for your father to come and cut the ribbon first?!" The chief slapped the thin man's head hard before ordering his underlings to follow Lin-Nie's group.

"I understood, Chief!"

"Go, you guys! What are you waiting for? You'll get slapped like me!"

"Yes, sir, Brother Buck Teeth!"

The bandits quickly followed after not seeing the victims, according to the plan they had set up with the mysterious group, and knowing they had returned the same way they had come.

As for the two mysterious men lurking on another path that Zheng-Fu had sensed earlier, they began to feel that the situation was strange. It was not like they had thought. They expected the three young women would escape through the route they were hiding in when encountering the bandits. And when that time came, the two would join in attacking the three young women with the bandits.

"What happened? Why haven't Third Young Miss, Fourth Young Miss, and Fifth Young Miss come yet?" One of the two middle-aged men who were hiding said curiously and impatiently.

"Could they have been killed by bandits?" Another middle-aged man added, after thinking for a moment.

"No way! Although Third Young Miss's energy level is at the initial Heavenly Deity Originate Stage, her abilities are not inferior to the intermediate Heavenly Deity Stage, so she should have escaped the bandits!" But the first middle-aged man did not think so because he knew the three young women's abilities well.

"If it's really like you said, they should have already arrived here. But they haven't come yet. We should go back to take a look!"

I agree!

Thinking that the situation was not as expected, the two of them immediately returned to the point where they had arranged for the bandits to attack the three young women.

Back to Zheng-Fu and the three young women…

"Hey, man! So, who are you and where do you come from?" Lin-Nie continued to question Zheng-Fu because she was very curious. Zheng-Fu was dressed so normally, but she felt like he was a nobleman or a wealthy person's son.

"I already told you that I was just an ordinary person who got lost!" Zheng-Fu was too bored to talk to the young woman back then. He really wanted to get away from them. But he still did not know where to go, so he needed to explore the surrounding area first. Moreover, because he was a good person, he could not abandon them at a time like that.

"But your demeanor doesn't look like that of an ordinary person. You must be from a big sect or a big clan!" But the young woman did not believe him and tried to find out the truth.

Siiiigh!

"Lin-Nie, why do you care about him? He's just an ordinary person. Let's hurry and get out of here. If those bandits knew that we had come back the same way and caught up with us, we definitely wouldn't survive. So…"

Over there!

They're over there!

But before Lin-Ying could finish speaking, a middle-aged man's loud shout sounded from behind them. And soon, many people came after them. From the faces and clothes those people wore, it was clear that they were bandits.

Bandits!

Lin-Ying's face turned extremely pale when she saw the group of bandits catching up with them. She wanted to cry so much at that moment. It's because of her cousin, Lin-Nie, that if she had rushed on the journey, they would have already entered a densely populated area. But Lin-Nie was too curious about that strange young man and chose to follow him, not caring if the bandits followed; they did not get far.

Ha ha ha!

"Finally, we caught up! Wow! What beautiful women! Today I'll have three new wives. Ha ha ha! You guys capture them!" The bandit chief's eyes widened when he saw the faces of the three young women. Their beauty made the chief want all three of them as wives. So, he ordered his underlings to capture them instead of killing them.

"And what about that guy, Big Brother?"

Hah?

Guy?!

"How long have you been working with me? Hah? Do you still not know what kind of work I do? Kill him! Are you going to keep it to satisfy your desires?" The bandit chief immediately lost his temper, hearing a question from one of his underlings. Having led them on numerous robberies where most of the male victims had been killed, he was particularly enraged when he heard such a question.

"Yes, sir, Chief!"

"You guys, go surround them!"

Yes, sir!

"Damn it! You two run away quickly. I'll resist them myself!" Lin-Nie did not expect the bandits to catch up so quickly. But since that was already the case, she had to stall for time to let the others escape.

"No! If you don't go, I won't go either!" But Lin-Ying refused to run away. Even though she was afraid, she would definitely not abandon her cousin.

"Me… me too! I'll join in the fight!" Lin-Xi bravely chose to fight beside her elder cousins, suppressing her fear and doing her best to balance herself on the back of the wolf monster beast.

Sigh!

"If you had gone quickly from the beginning, you would have escaped the bandits by now. And I don't have to be in trouble!" Zheng-Fu suddenly said after sighing in boredom. He helped the three of them escape, but they were in no hurry to flee. And the one who would have been blamed was Lin-Nie, for trying to follow him and not rushing away.

You!

"What do you mean by saying this? You blame us?!" Lin-Ying immediately had a displeased expression when she heard Zheng-Fu's words. She had never seen a man so unmanly like him. All along, everyone was ready to sacrifice for her. But Zheng-Fu behaved so pathetically in accusing them.

"Come on, Lin-Ying! It's all because of me. If I hadn't just asked him too much, we would have been safe, and he wouldn't have been in trouble. Therefore, I'll be responsible for this matter. You all hurriedly get away from here. Don't delay any longer!" But Lin-Nie was not angry or blaming Zheng-Fu at all. She knew that what Zheng-Fu had said was true. Even though they had been given the opportunity, they did not seize it and delayed until the bandits could catch up with them.

No, Lin-Nie!

Sister Lin-Nie!

"You guys don't have to fight. Because everyone will definitely be all right!" At that moment, Zheng-Fu sensed the two men who were hiding on another path had just arrived. He found that they were no longer releasing their killing intent towards the three young women like before. He thought that the two of them would definitely show up and help. But that was just his assumption.

Hah!?

"What do you mean?"

"That's right! Why are we all right?"

The three young women looked puzzled upon hearing Zheng-Fu's words. Looking at the situation at that time, there was no way for them to survive. Although the outpost group of bandits was not scary. And they were able to deal with them. But if their chief acted himself, they definitely would not be able to cope. So, how did Zheng-Fu ensure that they would be all right and able to survive?

"If you don't believe me, try calling the two people over there to come down!" Zheng-Fu knew that the three young women would definitely not believe him. So, he told them to call out the two mysterious men hiding in a tree so that they would know if he was telling the truth.

Hah!?

Are there people over there?!

Not only were the three young women shocked, but the two middle-aged men who were hiding were also shocked when they saw Zheng-Fu pointing at where they were. Because they had completely erased their identities and hid their aura, it was unlikely that anyone would be able to recognize them, except for people with a higher energy level than they.

"I didn't feel like anyone was there. It isn't that you..."

"If you two Masters came with good intentions, please come help us. I promise to repay you well when I return to the clan!"

Lin-Ying was about to scold Zheng-Fu because she did not believe him. Moreover, she could not see anyone. But Lin-Nie did as Zheng-Fu said. She clasped her hands together in a salute and raised her voice to invite those she could not see to come down and help them.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Thump! Thump!

"Even if you don't request it, we'll help you anyway!"

Hah!?
