Xiuxian, I can travel to another world

Chapter 468 Sneak Attack
"The city is still the best."

Bald Eagle ranked seventh among the leaders of the Sky Eagle Bandits. He was skilled in using a pair of mandarin duck axes and possessed a cultivation level of the lower seventh rank.

He also has a wife who is beautiful and has a good figure.

Red Eagle Children's Delight!
The third leader of the Skyhawk Bandits.

Their personalities were complete opposites.

Tong Chixiang is fiery and has a short temper; Bald Eagle is plain-looking but quite patient.

It was precisely because his personality was compatible with Red Eagle's fiery temper that they eventually developed a deep bond.

"Miss."

"This is Zhangjiapu's Golden Silk Snowflake Cake, a dessert made with seven carefully selected ingredients."

The vulture looked at him with obvious affection:

"You love desserts, have a taste."

"Mmm." Hongying Tongchixiang took the pastry and put it in her mouth, the sweet taste spreading throughout:
"Not bad!"

"Life outside may be carefree and comfortable, but you're always on edge, sometimes hungry and sometimes full. It's nothing like the comfort of city life."

She swallowed her snack and sighed softly.
“I’ve found that as I get older, I’m increasingly drawn to a peaceful life. When do you think we can settle down in the city?”

"Almost there." The vulture's face showed affection.
“We helped the Sanhe Gang deal with the Qingyi Gang. Once the Sanhe Gang is stable, we can change our identities and live in the city for a long time, and also find a legitimate way out for our two children.”

Although they were bandits, they did not want their descendants to live such a precarious life. They enjoyed it when they were young and impetuous, but as they got older, they needed a stable life more and more.

Several years ago.

The two had discussed how they could step down.

Hongying Tong Chixiang nodded slowly, a hint of confusion appearing in his eyes:
"What is that young master of the Hai family doing?"

"Let's pool our money and buy medicine," Bald Eagle said.
"The advancement of the demon race is far more troublesome than that of the human race, especially for those with the dragon bloodline, who need to consume rare and precious herbs, which are not cheap."

"Recently, the Hai family has been allowing its demonic subordinates to rob merchants and extort money. Goods that cannot be exchanged for money are instead given to merchants in exchange for cash. This repeated extortion is all for the purpose of buying a Body-Removing Pill to help it break through to the sixth rank and become a fifth-rank great demon."

The fifth-rank great demon also has another name.

A thousand-year-old demon!
Generally speaking, only demons that have cultivated for a thousand years can achieve the fifth rank, which is considered a great demon.

If one does not wish to engage in arduous cultivation, one can rely on external aids, but such elixirs are all incredibly valuable.

"Li Xianshan doesn't care?"

“Li Xianshan is the adopted son of an elder of the Pai Sect. Although he has extraordinary martial arts talent, his background isn't particularly strong.” Bald Eagle shook his head.
"He is also somewhat weak-willed. He was able to become the leader of the Sanhe Gang entirely because of the help of the Zhou family and the demon race. This matter concerns Young Master Hai's advancement to a thousand-year-old demon. If he were to interfere, he would become an enemy who obstructs his path. He doesn't have the guts."

“Heh…” Hongying Tong Chixiang sneered:

"It seems this leader of the Sanhe Gang isn't all that great. Doesn't he know that if Hai Yunzhou advances to the fifth rank, his status will become even lower?"

"never mind."

She waved her hand and said:
"It has nothing to do with us."

"Yes." The vulture nodded.
"Speaking of which, the previous head of the Zhu family also died at your hands. They were really unlucky."

"No rush," Hongying Tong Chixiang said slowly, glancing at the passing carriage.

"We finally have a chance to enter the city, let's let him live a few more days so we can enjoy ourselves too."

"Not bad." The vulture agreed.
"I just inquired and found out that the Jiang family in the south of the city is the most famous for tailoring. I'll go there tomorrow to make you a dress."

"Ah."

Tong Chixiang smiled sweetly.

…………

Sanhe Gang's headquarters.

With permission granted, Master He pushed open the door and entered the study.

"Gang leader."

"Ah."

Li Xianshan put down the book in his hand and spoke slowly:
"Is something wrong?"

This person who replaced Hong Qingyi as the 'number one person' in Taiyuan Prefecture was of average appearance, the kind of person who would never be noticed in a crowd.

He was rather thin, giving off a frail and weak impression, and his vitality was barely visible.

However, he is a genuine expert at the peak of the sixth rank.

"Chief..." Hall Master He hesitated for a moment before whispering:
"Today, because of the Zhu family's cloth, the Zhou family and the Crocodile Hall Master's men had an argument in the hall."

"It's not just Zhu Ju Cloth Shop; the extortion by the Crocodile Hall Master during this period is no less than the forced collection of taxes."

"The wealthy families in the city were filled with lamentations."

“It’s understandable that Yunzhou is a bit impatient to become a fifth-rank beast.” Li Xianshan smiled faintly: “When it helped me become the leader of the Sanhe Gang, I promised to do everything I could to help it become a great demon.”

"Of course I cannot go back on my word."

“But…” Hall Master He looked up.

"There's no 'but'," Li Xianshan waved his hand.

"I am aware of this matter. You may leave now. Try your best to suppress the grievances of the merchants in the city, and also try to persuade Master Crocodile."

"So be it!"

"This..." Hall Master He looked troubled, then sighed helplessly:
"Yes."

He bowed and left the study, closing the door behind him.

"Father."

A clear voice rang out from the darkness:

"Hai Yunzhou has gone too far. Are we really just going to ignore it and let it cause public resentment to boil over?"

"Public resentment?" Li Xianshan gently shook his head.

"Holding a grudge doesn't mean you'll take action right now. This is just the beginning; it's not time yet."

"and……"

"Achieving the fifth rank is not easy."

Bald Eagle and Red Eagle rented a courtyard in the city.

The front yard was left to the Skyhawk Bandits who had followed the two into the city, while the back yard was where the two of them lived.

"People can't deny getting old."

Standing in the courtyard.

Hongying Tongchixiang looked up at the full moon and muttered to himself:

"When I was a teenager, what I hated most was being stuck in the city and not being able to go out and play."

"Now……"

"How wonderful it would be to have a courtyard of one's own, surrounded by children and grandchildren!"

She raised her hand and touched her eyebrows, revealing some clear wrinkles.

She is now thirty-seven years old, and although she takes good care of herself, wrinkles have already appeared on her face.

At the age of twenty-eight, she attempted to break through to the sixth rank, but failed. Now, with increasing age and declining blood and energy, her cultivation level has dropped from the peak of the seventh rank to the middle of the seventh rank.

Third in command.

It no longer lives up to its name.

If it really came down to a fight now, even the fifth brother would be a step ahead of her. If it weren't for the leader's consideration for their past relationship, she would have already dropped several places in the rankings.

"Third Master".

The subordinate's voice came from the two gates separating the front and back yards:

"Seventh Master has ordered wine and food, and wants us brothers to have a get-together up ahead today. Please come over."

"Oh!" Hongying Tong Chixiang raised an eyebrow:

"We don't have any wine."

"I'll take it," the man said with a smile.
"It's been so long!"

"squeak……"

Open the door.

Under the cover of night, a person is bowing and waiting.

"go!"

Red Eagle Tong Chixiang waves:
"It's a rare treat to be in the city, so let's get drunk tonight..."

"Ok?"

Before she could finish speaking, her expression suddenly changed:
"who are you?"

What greeted her was the opponent's sword-like fingers, their sharp energy aimed directly at her throat.

Danger!

Having endured countless battles and faced life-or-death situations, the instincts that had been honed in Red Eagle Child Chi Xiang made her react subconsciously.
