Chapter 2516 Bandit


    The fight would be no different from adults facing off against children.


    Jared noticed that even the most powerful cultivator in Rock Vige, Ali, was just a newly advanced


    Manifestor, a level that was at most equivalent to a Greater Martial Arts Marquis in the mundane


    world''s martial artist cultivation level.


    Jared could easily defeat a Greater Martial Arts Marquis even if he regained just a little bit of his


    strength.


    “Can you really rescue them?” Antonio gazed at Jared skeptically.


    “Mr. Antonio, Emily is my savior, and when she asked me to stay in Rock Vige, all the other vigers


    didn''t make things difficult for her or chase me away. Therefore, Rock Vige has done me a favor, so


    how could I possibly deceive you?” Jared uttered with utmost sincerity.


    Taking in Jared''s demeanor, Antonio paused briefly before nodding. “Fine. In that case, let Percy show


    you the way, then. However, if you encounter any danger, you must return at once!”


    “I got it. Thank you, Mr. Antonio,” Jared expressed his gratitude.


    In fact, Antonio also knew that even if all the people of Rock Vige tagged along, it would only result in


    more casualties. Perhaps Rock Vige might even be annihted from then on.


    Since Jared was so confident, Antonio decided to let him try.


    “Percy, we don''t have time to lose. Let''s go,” Jared urged the young boy.


    Percy nced at Antonio and saw thetter waving his hand, saying, “Go. Be careful.”

    The young boy nodded in acknowledgment. Then, he led Jared out of the room.


    When Percy passed by his house, he entered his room and retrieved a long knife the same length as


    him and a bow and arrows.


    “If I see those people from Cyan Vige, I''ll shoot them dead!” Percy gritted his teeth, seemingly


    harboring intense hatred toward the people of the neighboring vige.


    “Percy, do the people from Cyan Vige always bully you all?” Jared asked.


    “That''s right. Cyan Vige, with itsrger poption and greater strength, had been encroaching upon


    Rock Vige''s hunting ground. Originally, we each have our own hunting grounds in the mountain, but


    Cyan Vige had been expanding their territory annually, gradually reducing our ess to resources


    until we were only able to hunt at the edges of the forest. Whenever we do go out to hunt, we return


    with very little loot. As a result, the people in our vige are getting poorer,” Percy borated, shedding


    light on the ongoing struggle between the two viges.


    Hearing that, Jared fathomed Rock Vige and Cyan Vige were sworn enemies, and their feud


    stemmed from the snatching of resources.


    “It''s one thing to rob, but why are they hurting others? Why did they capture Emily and the others?”


    Jared was baffled.


    Since their goal was to acquire resources, and there weren''t any other grudges, those people from


    Cyan Vige could''ve just taken the items instead of holding Ali and his party captive. Why didn''t they


    do just that?


    “You have no idea, Jared. People from Cyan Vige are rotten to their cores. They capture our people


    for ransom, and they infiltrate our viges to steal our things. We built the vige watchtower for the


    precise reason of preventing ambushes from Cyan Vige.” Percy''s emotions overflowed as he spoke,


    expressing his deep frustration and anguish caused by the actions of the people from Cyan Vige.


    Noticing that, Jared hastily stepped forward to pat Percy''s head. “Why are these people from Cyan


    Vige so terrible? They''re no different from a group of bandits.”


    “They were bandits, to begin with. In the past, Cyan Vige was a bandit stronghold. Afterward,


    because of Cyan Vige''s strategic geographical location and wide hunting area, many people were


    gradually attracted to settle down there, forming the present Cyan Vige,” Percy exined.


    rity washed over Jared after listening to that. No wonder these people from Cyan Vige are so


    ruthless. So, they are a bunch of wicked bandits!


    Jared and Percy soon arrived at the foot of the mountain as they chatted.


    From time to time, demon beasts appeared at the foot of the mountain, but they were generally low-


    level small beasts that weren''t very valuable. Therefore, Ali and the others would go deeper into the


    jungle to capturerger beasts.
