The fat bandit said, "Boss, what are we waiting for?"

He hurriedly got up, with a bulge in his crotch.

But seeing the strong bandit leader not rise, he curiously asked, "Boss, you?"

The strong bandit leader said, "Just be obedient, I have my reasons for not moving. Don't ask why, if you ask... you die."

The fat bandit nodded.

In a tent not far away, a beautiful woman with her hands and feet tied listened intently to the distant conversation, feeling a sense of despair.

She wasn't stupid.

It was her brother who brought her here.

But her brother was an Immortal, capable of easily killing these bandits, yet he contrived to leave her here with some excuse to seek fortune, resulting in her capture by the bandits.

Initially, she hadn't thought much of it, but the strong bandit leader's words forced her to reconsider.

The strong bandit leader said nothing overtly, but clearly... there was someone behind him.

What kind of person could make such bloodthirsty bandits say "Don't ask the reason, if you ask, you die"?

Recalling how her brother sometimes looked at her with peculiar eyes...

The beautiful woman began to understand something.

She clenched her fingers tight, her sharp nails digging into her flesh, even drawing blood.

Suddenly, she lowered her head and laughed softly, then tears streamed from her eyes as she looked upwards and let out a hysterical scream.

It was a scream of pain...

A scream of being betrayed by a loved one...

Just then, she felt the wind rise.

The wind blew open a corner of the tent.

Outside the tent, there came a series of short, sharp cries.

These were the cries of the bandits.

It seemed each bandit only managed a single cry before their throats were crushed, leaving them unable to speak again.

In the past, the beautiful woman would have been terrified.

But now... her heart was already dead.

If the heart is dead, what is there to fear?

Then, she heard someone shouting "Immortal, spare my life," but the voice was cut off, lifeline severed, clearly killed.

The beautiful woman finally turned her head slightly and vaguely saw that familiar figure: plain-looking, but wearing the disciple's robe of the Sword Immortal Sect, exuding a certain ethereal aura.

Yet, that aura now only made her feel nauseous.

She closed her eyes, for she had seen through everything; she was now waiting for her brother.

No!

She was waiting for Song Han, she wanted to confront him, then take her own life.

But at that moment, she suddenly heard the strong bandit leader's voice: "You... you can't kill me?"

Then, she heard her brother's voice: "Why?"

The strong bandit leader said, "You... you should be Song Han.

I'm working for your senior brother, he wants me to capture your sister-in-law.

He said you respect your sister-in-law the most, as long as she's captured, you wouldn't participate in the Hidden Dragon Association a month from now, but search for her instead...

You can't kill me!

If you kill me, your senior brother won't let you go!

You..."

The strong bandit leader wanted to continue, but couldn't, as a Flying Sword had already effortlessly killed him.

Song Yan stepped forward and killed all the bandits in the mountain hideout before coming to the tent, lifting the curtain and seeing the stunned beautiful woman there, looking guilty, he said, "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I came too late."

After he spoke, he scratched his head in embarrassment, saying, "I got caught up in an opportunity on the way and lost track of time, I'm sorry..."

The beautiful woman just stared at him blankly, her mind in chaos because everything seemed... different from what she thought.

On the other side, Song Yan suddenly slapped his head as if remembering something, and realized, "That's right, just now while killing a bandit, I finally figured it out, my elder brother's death is also connected to my senior brother.

My senior brother was jealous of my fast cultivation speed and wanted to disrupt my mental realm, so he thought that as long as he killed my loved ones, I would collapse..."

His voice slowed, tears welled in his eyes, he lowered his head and bitterly smiled saying "collapse," then closed his eyes and said, "I caused elder brother's death, I caused sister-in-law's suffering. Even though I've avenged you, it's still all my fault."

The beautiful woman stood up, tightly grabbing his hand, and cried out, while calling, "Xiao Han, Xiao Han..."

Song Yan gently patted her back, softly saying, "It's all right now, sister-in-law, it's all right."

After speaking, a glint of cold light flashed in his eyes, "That senior brother, I won't let him go."

The beautiful woman said, "Xiao Han, forget it, you're both Immortals. Since these bandits are dead, just let it..."

Before she could finish, Song Yan coldly said, "No, I must kill, the person who killed my elder brother must pay with blood! The elder brother is like a father, the sister-in-law is like a mother, if I don't avenge this grudge, can I still call myself Song Han?"

This senior brother was no baseless accusation, but another person Song Yan found in his memories. It was this person who strategized, making Song Han commit such vile acts.

Since he is Song Han, this cause and effect must be settled, otherwise... how could his mind find peace?

Hearing his fierce words, the beautiful woman felt a sweetness in her heart, thinking that this brother wasn't doted on in vain. And previously, she had actually misunderstood him, which was truly too excessive.
