[Bonus chapter] Bandits

Yuan and his group continued their journey through the mountain range, their horses galloping at an astonishing speed. 

The landscape around them blurred as they pressed forward, leaving the traces of death and blood behind.

As they traveled, their eyes scanned the surroundings, ever watchful for any signs of danger. 

The remnants of carnage marked their path, with more lifeless bodies and pools of blood scattered along the way. 

However, the group remained unfazed, for they had grown accustomed to the harsh realities of their world.

"Kyaaaaaaaa!" 

Suddenly, a piercing scream echoed through the air, reaching their ears with unmistakable clarity. Yuan and his companions, their senses honed by their cultivation, immediately recognized the cry for help.

Lily turned to Yuan, her voice filled with concern. "Did you hear that? Someone is calling for assistance."
