Chapter 1043 Chapter 1043: The Bandits' Punishment (1)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation "Nian Ye, why have you been captured as well?"
An older woman, who was dressed in short robes with a floral pattern, noticed Gu Ruoyun immediately as she entered the square and looked mildly shocked . She then cried out angrily, "These bandits simply have no humanity! They wouldn't even spare a maiden . Furthermore, she's only a passerby yet this time, she has been dragged down by the Wind Fall Village . "
Gu Ruoyun smiled gently as she asked, "Auntie Hua, are these bandits very powerful?"
"Of course they are," sighed Auntie Hua . "Apparently, the Leader of these bandits is a Martial King! To us common folk, a Martial King is simply invincible! It looks that the Wind Fall Village is finished this time . "
A Martial King?
Gu Ruoyun shrugged her shoulders .
There were numerous Martial Kings in the Northern Block Territory so they were not considered to be particularly outstanding . However, how could they have possibly been reduced to looting from villagers?
After all, generally speaking, cultivators were a very proud bunch . They have always viewed anyone attacking the common folk with disdain! Hence, even though common folk does exist on the mainland, they have always lived peaceful and untouched lives .
"Nian Ye, if you get the chance, just run . Don't worry about us . These bandies have never blinked whenever it comes to murder so no good can come from falling into their hands . "
Under these circumstances, some of the simple villagers were still worried about Gu Ruoyun's safety . It made her feel rather touched .
"Don't worry, just leave this matter to me . "
Gu Ruoyun smiled and turned her gaze towards the bandit at the foremost of the group .
"Leave it to you?" Auntie Hua was stunned and she could not understand the meaning behind Gu Ruoyun's words . "Nian Ye, I know that you're not an average person so perhaps you're a cultivator too . However, these bandits' powers aren't like anyone else's . If you rush towards them, you'll lose out!"
These villagers have never left Wind Fall Village all their life so they do not really understand the world outside . Therefore, when it comes to the insignificant Martial Kings who were not even worth mentioning, they were like gods in the villager's eyes .
Gu Ruoyun shrugged her shoulders and carried a nonchalant smile on her face as if she had not heard Auntie Hua's exclamation .
When Auntie Hua noticed that Gu Ruoyun had paid no notice to her warning, she became anxious . "Nian Ye, I see that you're still very young and even if you do have pretty good talent, you must only be at the rank of a Martial General now . You're no match for those bandits . "
The Black Mountain Cliff Bandits have always mentioned that their leader has great power and Martial Kings at their Leader's age were too few to count . Hence, to the villagers, regardless of how talented she was, Gu Ruoyun's young age could only mean that she must be a Martial General .
However, the guileless Auntie Hua was not aware that there was such a thing called bragging in this world!
"It looks like everyone is here now . "
The head of the bandits stood up from his chair and swept his fearsome gaze across the villagers cowering beneath him . His face carried a cruel sneer as he said, "Today, I'm going to make an announcement! The Wind Fall Villagers shall contribute one woman to the Black Cliff Mountain Bandits every month . If you miss out on one month, I'll come down to the Wind Fall Village and kill two people!"
What?
Hearing this, the men of Wind Fall Village exploded with rage .
"You want us to use our women in exchange for us to drag out an ignoble existence? We won't do this! This is a complete damage to our honor as men!"
"That's right! Brothers, we're not going to listen to these bandits anymore! We can deal with the fact that he's making us contribute a big half of our food every year but now he's making grand designs over our wives and daughter! A real man would never allow anyone to tarnish our wives! I'd rather die than allow anyone to abuse my family!"
