Adam's trade caravan was completely surrounded by this band of bandits.
And yet Adam and his people appeared tense, each one's gaze filled with vigilance.
For rchants who traversed the great desert,
once they encountered one of three situations, it would likely an they weren't far from death.
The first was a major sandstorm.
If a great sandstorm arose in the desert, it was an absolute catastrophe.
An entire city could be swallowed, let alone a small trade caravan.
Next was the Desert Emperor Scorpion.
The lowest cultivation level of these Emperor Scorpions was at the Battle King Level, with so even at the Saint Level.
Unless the Emperor Scorpion was in a good mood, one would end up as its al.
The third was the Gray Wolf Team.
This was the largest bandit group in the desert.
They specialized in attacking caravans traversing the desert and were extrely brutal.
Each ti after robbing, they killed the entire caravan without exception.
Additionally, they had three leaders, each one at the Battle King Level.
So basically, if a caravan encountered them, death was almost certain.
And now, the people Adam's group had encountered were from the Gray Wolf Team.
What Adam hadn't expected was that two of the trio of leaders from the Gray Wolf Team had actually made a move.
At the forefront were the second and third leaders of the Gray Wolf Team.
At this mont, the mbers of the Gray Wolf Team looked towards the people of the caravan with playfully sinister gazes.
"Adam, I didn't expect we would et again so soon," the middle-aged man leading the Gray Wolf Team said with a smile as he looked towards Adam at the front.
It was clear he had encountered Adam not just once before.
"Lord Luo Jiao, let us go, and we are willing to offer up all our goods and storage rings," Adam spoke.
He knew the other party were bandits.
Their finances were definitely lost.
All he hoped for now was that they would let them leave.
"It's no wonder you are a veteran of the desert, knowing our rules, but the last ti I let you go. This ti you're unlucky to fall into our hands again. To let you off so easily, isn't that a bit too simple?" the leader Luo Jiao said with a cold sneer.
"We have already given you all our goods. What more do you want? Even if you kill us, it does no good for you," Adam said, frowning.
He hadn't expected Luo Jiao to be so difficult to deal with this ti.
Luo Jiao smiled faintly, "I could let you go, but while the n may leave, the won must stay, especially that one."
Following the direction of Luo Jiao's pointing finger, Adam realized that Luo Jiao was referring to his own daughter.
There were three won in the caravan, not counting Hua Gesang.
At this mont, upon hearing these words, each of the won showed an expression of terror.
And the n were filled with anger.
The idea of abandoning the won to escape was an insult to their character.
"Lord Luo Jiao, that is my daughter, and she is about to go to Rom City to compete to be the Holy Daughter. Could you please show so leniency?" Adam pleaded.
"Compete to be the Holy Daughter?" Luo Jiao said with a slight smile, but soon his smile turned icy cold.
"Adam oh Adam, had you not said those words, I might have considered it. You want to use the Luotian Sect to intimidate , but you don't realize that it has beco the death warrant for your daughter. What if I really let her go and she cos back to seek revenge on ?" Luo Jiao said with a sinister laugh.
Adam's face changed imdiately, and he clenched his fists tightly.
He had originally intended to use the Luotian Sect to scare them, but he had not expected it to end up endangering his daughter.
Now, this group would definitely not let his daughter off easily.
And if his daughter fell into their hands, the outco was unimaginable.
"Luo Jiao, give up that thought, I absolutely won't hand my daughter over to you. If you want to take my daughter, you'll have to get past first," Adam said angrily.
He was prepared for a life-or-death struggle.
```
The n of the caravan behind him drew their swords one after another, their eyes filled with intense defiance.
n of Beimo, each and every one with iron in their blood.
They'd rather die in battle than submit.
"Seeking death!"
Luo Jiao's eyes flashed with a hint of disdain.
"Brothers, charge! Kill all the n, and take the won back for our enjoynt. Whoever kills the most gets that girl. Did you see her face? Did you see her willowy waist? Don't you want to enjoy that?" Luo Jiao roared.
The bandits around him, upon hearing their second in command, were as invigorated as if injected with adrenaline.
Their gazes towards Hua Gesang were like those of desert wolves, filled with vile intentions.
Hua Gesang's eyes burned with fury, yet there was a touch of fear in her heart.
Although she had broken through to Battle General Level, she had rarely experienced life-and-death battles like this.
Therefore, her hand gripping the scimitar was trembling slightly.
Xu Nian sensed Hua Gesang's fear and a faint smile appeared on his face.
This Hua Gesang was usually quite fierce; now she was flustered.
But on second thought, it was understandable. She wasn't that different from the young ladies of the great families.
"Run when the ti cos, run as far as you can. I'll carve out a path for you."
However, just as Xu Nian found Hua Gesang's fear amusing, he heard her voice from up ahead.
Xu Nian was taken aback, not expecting Hua Gesang to say such a thing to him.
At this critical juncture, she was still thinking of him.
It seed that this girl wasn't as prideful on the inside as she seed; she had inherited so of Adam's kindness.
"Alright!"
Xu Nian pondered for a mont, then agreed without hesitation.
Disappointnt flickered in Hua Gesang's eyes, but her expression quickly turned resolute.
The bandits in front of them had already charged forward.
"Kill!"
Adam's caravan warriors roared in unison and sprang into action.
They clashed with the bandits.
Hua Gesang, too, wielded her scimitar and dove into the crowd.
Her blade swiftly reaped the lives of those bandits.
In that mont, she truly beca a valiant warrior.
As a Battle General Level expert, those lowly bandits stood no chance against her.
Soon she had cut a bloody swath through them.
"Aren't you running yet?"
Hua Gesang reached Xu Nian's side, grabbed his collar, and violently flung him away.
Xu Nian was thrown nearly a hundred yards, tumbling across the ground several tis.
Bandits who tried to pursue Xu Nian were preemptively beheaded by Hua Gesang, who then plunged back into the fray.
"Ptui!"
Xu Nian spat out the sand in his mouth.
His face wore a look of resignation.
It was the first ti he'd been thrown like that by anyone, let alone a woman.
Yet in his heart, he felt a touch of gratitude.
"So be it. Since it's co to this, I'll lend a hand just this once—it can be my way of repaying you for saving before," Xu Nian mused with a small smile.
Then he sat down cross-legged on the ground and released his Spiritual Sense Power.
