"We don't have the person you're looking for here. Please leave quickly!"
"If our leader arrives, you won't be able to leave!"
The leading sand bandit said sternly.
His words were filled with threats.
At the same time, he secretly transmitted a message to his subordinates, informing them that their leader needed to come quickly as there were enemies attacking.
With the martial cultivation of the three individuals, his every move was completely transparent to them.
However, Xu Chuan did not stop him, as he was certain that the person he was looking for was inside.
If these sand bandits refused to cooperate.
Xu Chuan wouldn't mind sending them to hell!
He could just capture the sand bandit leader along with them, wiping them all out in one go!
After all, these sand bandits were not good people.
They engaged in robbery and murder within this million-mile desert, committing all sorts of evil deeds.
Furthermore, many of these sand bandits were criminals who had committed heinous crimes in the outside world and had fled here. They deserved to die.
Xu Chuan felt no guilt in killing them.
Nor would he show any leniency!
"My young master says he's here, so he is!"
"Move aside quickly, or today you'll die without a burial place!"
Feng Qingyang stepped forward and said to the group of sand bandits.
Being inherently upright, he had no fondness for these sand bandits.
If it weren't for Xu Chuan not giving the order.
He would have already taken action!
Not a single one of these sand bandits would survive!
Upon hearing this, the leader of the sand bandits' expression grew even grimmer.
He had initially thought that by invoking their leader's name and their superior numbers, they could scare Xu Chuan and his companions away.
However, it seemed to have no deterrent effect at all.
At this moment, the sand bandit leader, having received the message, arrived with a group of people.
"Who dares to cause trouble in the territory of my Yellow Sand Bandits?"
"Brothers, kill them!"
The leader was broad-shouldered and imposing, exuding an aura of ferocity.
He was reeking of alcohol and, without asking any questions, ordered to kill Xu Chuan and the other two.
The sand bandits behind him, perhaps emboldened by the presence of their leader, no longer feared Xu Chuan and his group.
They raised their weapons and shouted, "Kill them, kill them!"
Instantly, the morale of the Golden Sand Bandits surged.
More sand bandits, armed with weapons, emerged from the oasis below, joining the uproar.
As a great battle was about to erupt.
"Wait!"
Suddenly, the sand bandit leader seemed to have noticed something and quickly stopped Xu Chuan, who was about to attack.
His eyes, fixed on Xu Chuan, were filled with terror.
He instantly sobered up.
Cold sweat streamed down his forehead uncontrollably.
"Xu... Xu Chuan?!"
"You are Xu Chuan?!"
He asked tremblingly, almost disbelieving his own eyes. He quickly grabbed a towel from his attendant and wiped his eyes.
After confirming that he had not made a mistake, his expression became even more panicked.
The subtle shift in the Golden Sand Bandit leader's demeanor confused his subordinates, who had no idea what was happening.
Just moments ago, he had seemed fearless.
Why was he so terrified now?
The second-in-command of the sand bandits couldn't help but lean in and ask, "Leader, should we still kill them?"
"Slap!"
Upon hearing this, the already terrified leader directly slapped the second-in-command.
"Kill, kill, kill, kill your mother? "
"Can't you see it's the distinguished Saint Son Xu visiting?"
"You have no sense at all!"
This slap left the second-in-command dazed.
He couldn't understand what he had done to deserve being hit.
Didn't you just say to kill them?
A feeling of injustice instantly welled up in the second-in-command's heart.
However, he dared not speak out in anger.
The leader's cultivation was the highest among the Golden Sand Bandits, and he was no match for him.
"Oh? You know me?"
The leader's words piqued Xu Chuan's interest.
Had his reputation grown so much?
Even the sand bandits knew him!
And recognized him at a glance.
The sand bandit leader quickly said obsequiously, "Who in the entire Eastern Domain doesn't know you now? Your achievements have spread throughout the Eastern Domain!"
"You, alone, fought against all the prodigies of the Eastern Domain at the Dao Discussion Conference. Such a feat, who else but you could achieve it?"
The more the leader spoke of Xu Chuan's achievements, the more respectful his attitude became.
A genius like this would only achieve greater heights in the future, not less.
However, he had clearly not yet received the news of Xu Chuan's annihilation of the entire Beast God Clan.
Otherwise, he would have been even more shocked and terrified.
"Since you know me, things will be much easier."
"I'm looking for someone. Let us in to search!"
Xu Chuan said indifferently.
"May I ask who the Saint Son is looking for?"
"Tell me, and I'll help you find them directly. You won't have to trouble yourself, Saint Son."
Upon hearing that Xu Chuan was looking for someone, his expression changed slightly.
But he quickly concealed this emotion.
And respectfully offered to act on Xu Chuan's behalf.
"No need, we can find them ourselves!"
"Tell your subordinates to stand aside."
Xu Chuan refused.
He could tell that the sand bandit leader seemed to be hiding something.
Especially when he mentioned he was looking for someone, the leader became even more tense.
It was clear that the person Xu Chuan was looking for was the same thing he was concealing!
"Your Highness Xu, this might not be appropriate?"
The sand bandit leader put on a troubled expression and tried to stop Xu Chuan and his two companions.
However, Feng Qingyang was not one to indulge him.
He took out his giant hammer and smashed it directly in front of the sand bandit leader, saying, "Move aside, or die!"
He felt it his bounden duty to clear the path for Xu Chuan!
"Since Your Highness Xu is not giving us any face, then don't blame us for being rude!"
"Attack together!"
Seeing that Xu Chuan had tacitly approved Feng Qingyang's actions, the sand bandit leader's face sank visibly.
He then looked at Xu Chuan and his two companions coldly and gave a command.
Upon receiving the order, all the sand bandits immediately prepared to attack the trio.
The sand bandit leader struck first, unleashing a saber strike.
With his peak Tongtian realm cultivation.
He was among the most powerful sand bandits in this million-mile desert.
Coupled with the thousands of sand bandits of various cultivation levels behind him, did he fear three youngsters?
His previous obsequiousness towards Xu Chuan was merely to give some face to the Taiyi Holy Land behind him!
"Another brainless one?"
"Uninteresting!"
Xu Chuan shook his head and, with a wave of his hand, unleashed a punch, erupting with the Sun True Fire.
Boom!
The fist met the saber, and his great saber was directly shattered by Xu Chuan.
With undiminished force, his fist struck the leader's head, obliterating it with a single punch.
Even though Xu Chuan was still injured and had not fully recovered, no rogue cultivator could challenge him!
Even if he was at the peak of the Tongtian realm.
Seeing their leader killed by Xu Chuan's punch.
The Golden Sand Bandits were thrown into a panic.
They scattered like headless flies.
"Kill them all. Let no one escape!"
Xu Chuan said coldly.
These sand bandits deserved to die!
"Yes, Young Master!"
Feng Qingyang took the order and, brandishing his great hammer, charged into the sand bandits, reaping their lives.
Xu Chuan, meanwhile, entered the oasis with Su Miaoyin.
Guided by the stone, they arrived at a secret chamber.
Inside the chamber, a young boy was suspended in the air, in a deep slumber.
Upon seeing the young boy, the stone in Xu Chuan's hand grew even more agitated.
If it hadn't been in Xu Chuan's hand, it would have likely flown directly into the boy's embrace.
Xu Chuan understood that this was the person he was looking for.
