Sun Wukong and his companions ignited the pile of corpses that was completely covered by vines grown by spiritual power. A raging fire was ignited in an instant, and the fire instantly engulfed the entire pile of corpses. There was no other way. Although people of this era believed in returning to their roots and being buried in peace, in this chaotic world, there was no way to deal with so many deaths. They had to be cremated because there were too many corpses. If they were buried directly or left alone, so many corpses would rot at the same time, breeding a large number of bacteria and forming an epidemic. In this era, plague was simply a catastrophic existence. Once a plague broke out, it would be difficult to deal with. The danger had to be nipped in the bud.

At the end of the Western Han Dynasty and the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the world was in chaos, peasants rose up everywhere, there were wars everywhere, and people were dying everywhere.

By the time the flames burned out, Sun Wukong and the others had almost recovered. They had just used up a lot of spiritual energy by using all their strength to grow vines to collect corpses throughout the town. It was just right for them to wait for the flames to burn out before leaving. They took advantage of this opportunity to practice Taiyi Xuanqing Jue to absorb the surrounding spiritual energy and recover from their consumption.

"Have you all had a good rest? Let's get going."

Sun Wukong picked up his sword that had been placed on the ground and looked at everyone.

"Brother Luo, how should we find those bandits?" asked a fellow apprentice.

"Brother Xiaowu, the map"

Sun Wukong glanced at Senior Brother Xiaowu. After hearing what he said, Senior Brother Xiaowu opened his storage bag and took out several maps. He rummaged through them, selected a map and handed it to Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong unfolded the rolled-up map and spread it on the ground. Sun Wukong pointed to a place on the map and said, "This should be where we are."

According to the map, there is only one place within dozens of miles around the town where bandits might be present, because it is surrounded by mountains and has steep terrain, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack. If there are really bandits nearby, they must be in this place.

"I've seen the bodies at the entrance of the town. The wounds are messy. They must have been caused by bandits. The range of activities of bandits is usually not too far from their strongholds. Let's go to this hill first to take a look."

"Brother Luo is right, let's go take a look first."

The ten men picked up their weapons and followed the direction given on the map, heading towards the area in the distance that was suspected to be the bandit mountain.

This is a mountain range that stretches for thousands of meters. The cliffs on both sides of the mountain range are towering, the peaks reach the sky, and the mountainside is even steeper, as if it was cut by a knife or an axe.

Sun Wukong and his companions took the mountain road because it saved them a lot of time, otherwise they would have to take a detour. Most of the bandits were riding horses and robbing and killing innocent people in nearby villages and towns.

This mountain road is extremely steep and difficult to walk on. Most people cannot walk on it at all, not to mention that there are many ferocious beasts and demons near the road. It is still okay in the Han Dynasty territory, as the Han Dynasty is blessed by its fortune, and the demons are relatively weak. Once you leave the Han Dynasty and head west, the demons will become more and more powerful.

The mountain road was rugged and steep, and the group's speed was still acceptable. After all, they were all cultivators, and their bodies were much stronger than ordinary people. It was just that the outer sect disciples with lower cultivation levels were much slower than Sun Wukong and the others. After all, the brothers were all cultivators in the foundation-building stage, and Sun Wukong was also in the foundation-building stage. Even if Sun Wukong hid his cultivation level in the late stage of Qi training, his strength was well known to everyone in the entire outer and inner sects.

Sun Wukong and his companions kept running on the ground and jumping on the tree trunks, and finally walked out of the mountain path. Once they were out of the mountain path, they felt a lot more relaxed. After all, the forest was too depressing. There were even few sounds of insects and birds, and the air was filled with a fishy smell, a mixture of blood and evil spirits.

Finally they arrived at the place on the hill where the bandits were suspected to be. Senior Brother Oda led everyone to hide in a bush. As soon as Senior Brother Oda came out of the mountain road, he felt that there were people on the mountain, and there were quite a few of them. They of the Qingshan Sect practiced the Taiyi Xuanqing Jue and reached a certain level and degree. They could receive information from the surrounding plants through the unique spiritual power of the Taiyi Xuanqing Jue.

"With my level of Taiyi Xuanqing Jue, I can only sense that there are quite a few people up there, but I don't know exactly how many there are. We can't act rashly. We must find out their details in advance, including how many people there are, the manpower layout, whether there are any monks, and whether there are any captives."

Senior Brother Oda told everyone about his arrangement, and everyone nodded in agreement. However, no one dared to act rashly. After all, they didn't know how strong the enemy was, and there were too many of them, so it would be difficult to deal with them with just ten of them.

"Brother Xiaotian and I will go and find out the situation. Brother Xiaolin will take a few people to block the way down the mountain. Brother Xiaowu will wait for our news and then rush up the mountain directly."

After Sun Wukong and Senior Brother Oda arranged their respective tasks, the two of them sneaked towards the hill where the bandits were.

"Brother, you are responsible for eliminating the sentries on the way up the mountain. I will go up to investigate the situation."

"Then be careful"

"kindness"

Senior Brother Oda nodded and left quietly. Seeing this, Sun Wukong immediately walked up the steep cliff and used the Taiyi Xuanqing Jue to create tree branches. The branches directly dragged Sun Wukong. In this way, the branches continued to grow upwards, and Sun Wukong was able to quickly reach the top of the mountain.

In fact, Sun Wukong had already felt the number and strength of the bandits in the mountain, but he couldn't tell his senior brothers and the others directly. The strongest bandit in the mountain was only at the first or second level of Qi training and was no match for them at all. There were just too many of them, hundreds of them, and it would be difficult to deal with them if they attacked together.

This time, Qingshan Sect sent most of its disciples out in order to save the people of the world and to train those new disciples who had no experience in the world. It would be more difficult to deal with the monsters of the Heavenly Demon Sect in the future. After all, the Heavenly Demon Sect was much more terrifying than any bandits.

Sun Wukong used the branches created by his spiritual power to lift himself up the mountain. He sensed that there was no one active nearby and those bandits seemed to be gathered together. Were they celebrating their success?

Sun Wukong went up the mountain, and with his powerful perception of energy, he found that all the bandits were gathered in one place. Most of them were the same as he imagined, hateful guys whose crimes were unforgivable.

Sun Wukong is waiting for Senior Brother Xiaotian. As long as Senior Brother Xiaotian takes care of those secret sentries, he can take action.

The hateful bandits paid a heavy price. He also sensed some faint breaths, some even dying. They should be the captives and women captured by those beasts.

"Brother Xiaotian, hurry up!"

Sun Wukong suppressed his anger and thought to himself.

Senior Brother Oda climbed up the mountain, relying on the Taiyi Xuanqing Jue to feel for the location of the secret sentry bandits. He sneaked over and used his spiritual power to grow vines, instantly strangling the secret sentry bandits to death.
