"Where the hell did a cripple like you come from, daring to meddle in my affairs..."

Slap!

A slap across the air.

The whole person was sent spinning in mid-air, executing a Thomas twist before landing, dazed and confused. As the saying goes, a skinny camel is still bigger than a horse, and besides, Wu Daoxu was far from being skinny; he was just disabled.

Not dead.

There was an insurmountable gap between cultivators and ordinary people, one practiced martial arts, the other cultivated immortality—there's no comparison. After being struck through the air, the bandit became much more sober, realizing that the cripple in front of him didn't belong to his world. He immediately put on a flattering smile.

"Greetings, Immortal Master."

"Answer my question first, speak."

He uttered these words expressionlessly.

"Immortal... Immortal Master, Qian, Uncle Qian he still..."

The girl displayed several degrees of anxiety, her petite chest heaving, the rain soaking her long dress entirely, accentuating her developing figure, gasping for air, as if her heart would leap from her throat after running only a few miles.

With a face full of pain and anguish, Wu Daoxu furrowed his brows upon hearing this. He could guess the situation; the fact that the girl could run out alone meant someone was likely holding off the other bandits. But he had to be cautious in everything he did, considering evidence.

Especially after the incident three years ago, which made him extremely careful. With a summon of his remaining left hand, the broadsword he had slapped away was immediately grasped in his hand, a surge of dark spiritual energy injected into the blade, buzzing, without looking, he flung it towards those distant auras!

Whoosh—

Like a meteor streaking through the rain.

The ordinary actions of a cultivator appeared as miracles in their eyes, that bandit couldn't help but swallow a few times, seeing Miss Xue still speechless, he decided to speak first.

"Immortal Master! I've intercepted this woman to seek revenge; she is an enemy of ours among some brothers, hoping the Immortal Master can make a wise judgment."

No reply, only a gesture to continue.

"This enchantress is a descendant of the Xue Family in Qingshui County; Immortal Master might not have heard of them, but locals know their family reputation is terrible, committing all sorts of evil!"

"We turned to banditry due to their family; now, after years of endurance, the Xue Family is finally destroyed, but their bloodline still remains, we are compelled to wipe them out."

"Otherwise, this woman will inevitably make a comeback; remember, back then her family made the whole Qingshui County unlivable, don't be fooled by her pitiful appearance now, she was merciless when tormenting us, causing families to be torn apart!"

"Immortal Master must not pity her, it's all an act she's putting on!"

Grinding his teeth enhanced the exaggeration and alarmed words, believing the Immortal Master was unfamiliar with local affairs and might be just passing by. If he insisted on seeking revenge, not even a cultivator would interfere in his private matters.

Even if he did, the Immortal Master would probably try to inquire at Qingshui County, ensuring their lives would be spared.

Throughout, the frail Miss Xue just lay on the ground panting deeply, with a face of pain, unable to catch her breath, merely shaking her head forcefully.

"No, it's not me... I, I never..."

Wu Daoxu only glanced.

"You say this young lady caused your family's destruction?"

"Yes, yes! It's her! We're just seeking justice."

Without hesitation, he asserted.

"Several years ago."

"Ten years ago! My brothers and I were expelled by their family from the county town, implicated as a family, we could only turn to banditry nearby..."

"So you claim this young lady ruined your family when she was six?"

"This."

Stunned.

The bandit's words were half-truths, to confuse Wu Daoxu, ensuring himself on the advantageous side. He wasn't exactly lying; it was true Xue Ming drove them out of Qingshui County ten years ago, but abducting Miss Xue was just their wishful thinking.

It was a mix of resentment and greed.

"Yes, it's her!"

Made up his mind.

The hatred on his face seemed genuine, merely pointing venomously at Miss Xue.

"It was her who commanded the Xue family's lackeys to torment us commoners back then!"

"My brother was killed by this vile woman's commanded servants. If the Immortal Master doesn't believe it, ask the locals in Qingshui County, every descendant of the Xue Family is a scourge."

"This woman is no exception, Immortal Master must not fall for..."

Before he finished, Wu Daoxu placed his hand behind him, scanning the bandit disdainfully, with eyes full of mockery.

"You're intriguing; the person you're talking about is likely not this young lady, but Xue Wuwei, isn't it?"

Heart stopped suddenly.

But Wu Daoxu didn't stop, merely continued saying, "The Xue Family of Qingshui County is known as merchants even in the state city. Family Head Xue Ming, although indulging his only son, acts decisively and is quite reliable, with many willing to follow him, not a tyrant."

"Only his son, unlike his father, has a sinister character, enjoys bullying the weak with weapons, oppressing civilians, causing quite a mess in recent years, which brought numerous troubles to the Xue Family, resulting in their extermination."
