Within a horse carriage, a total of six people is seated comfortably. Nan Jing Jing and Long Feng at one corner, a male and female couple from Bronze Martial Hall, and two more male disciples from Gao Family near Clear Jade City. At first, when Long Feng and Nan Jing Jing couple entered the carriage, four of them tried to show an attitude of a higher class, looking down on the Li Couple. But when Long Feng introduced himself to be one of the Pill Masters from the Bronze Pill Hall, their attitude towards the couple become heart-warming, and even the word used became much more polite.

The drawn strength of the Carriage came from the two horse in the front. This horse breed is known as the [Travelling Contract Beast Kind, the Thousand Li Charcoal Stead] each horse has the strength of running nonstop for 1000 Li(500km), with two of them, pulling a carriage without stopping in between the travel wouldn't be an issue. Meanwhile, the Coach Driver is also an exceptional cultivator in his Human Adept Tier cultivation, and also act as the guide along their way to the Thunderburst Jade city.

When the other four heard about Long Feng and Nan Jing Jing's intention of participating in the auction, their eyes glitter even brighter, as if the Li couple transformed into two big statues made of gold. Under Nan Jing Jing's secret instructions, Long Feng hesitates not to follow her words, showing some of the Pills he concocted along their way. Within their first day, after a nonstop traveling, the carriage exits the Forest of West Jade and stopped at the intersection between Clear Jade City, Xuan Wu Jade City, Thunderburst Jade City, Jade Ginseng City, and Cloudy Jade City.

The carriage decided to make a stop at the side of the Intersection, and call it a night for now. The group agreed because, during night time, traveling would be more difficult due to the danger is hidden along their path. Sometimes, certain kind of Cultivation Beast loves to take an action on the travelers and small convoys, depending on their treasures hidden within. Due to most of the travelers and small convoys always transport or going around with item such as medicinal herbs, material for blacksmithing, and also some special items rarely found between cities.

Especially Long Feng, if he does not possess a Spatial Storage Ring, perhaps the strong medicine fragrant flavor from his [Tiger Stripes Soul Pill] would attract the Cultivation Beast to go crazy, and create a stampede effect because of the Pills. One more concern between them is because of the Bandits. Between this five cities, three strong groups of bandits are known to operate within this area, with the cultivation between Refinement Tier to Practitioner Tier members. The most low-profile one is the [Feral Dog Vagabonds]. Believed to operates with around 500 members, they are known to be ferocious, but not ruthless and addicted to killing anyone they encounter.

The next is [Iron Jade Stronghold]. Lead by about 2000 members, the stronghold members carry one important morale whenever they operate. [Only Rob the Rich, and leave the poor. If weapons are unsheathed, do not blame for blood shower]. Rumors about their leader, Yao Yan, is an exiled core disciple from Wen Ren Sect, and difficult to handle. Lastly, is the [Man Si House]. This housing member is ruthless, love to kill and rape, and also the most outrageous houses of bandits between this five cities. They have more than 5000 members, as well few martial art specialist, Pill Masters and Culture Smith is known to be forced to assist the house to get stronger.

Just after sharing the news regarding the bandits, a few silhouette appears from the direction towards Jade Ginseng City. Once the group started to get closer, a group of 6 men could be seen, with Sword, Sabre, staff on their hand as they head toward the group. The Coach Driver, named Wu Lei, is secretly withdrawing his twin dagger in both hands as the group of six is getting closer.

"Hey, old man! Do you happened to have some wine and meat for us travelers?" the front most person among the group speaks, as there aren't any weapons on his hand. Long Feng suspect their words and paid more attention to their action, but before he managed to block the sneak attack, a bolt had already almost reached Wu Lei's throat.

"Pingggggg!" the bolt is deflected to another direction, while one of the two Chakrams belonged to Nan Jing Jing is hovering before Wu Lei's eyes. He released the breath he was holding when he just anticipated his death, but now as his little precious lives are preserved, he finally able to relax his tense body a little. The moment the bolt is deflected, Long Feng, the two disciples from Gao Family and the Male from the Bronze Martial Hall already had their weapon ready to fight.

"Humph! Merely a few small cultivators and dare to fight us from the [Man Si House]. Are you all bored with your lives now? Brothers! Kill the man, grab everything included their little underwear and bring the girl back to our nest! We will let boss enjoy this two piece of tender meat before our turn comes." the man that speaks first before gave some orders, as the other follows. Long Feng's group quickly deduce that this person should be the leader among them, and began to plan in mind how to face him.

One of the staff users came near to the Martial Hall couple, two sword users are facing the two from Gao Family, the one that speaks and secretly launched a bolt towards Coach Driver Wu Wei, is facing the driver directly. One more saber user is facing Long Feng, while another bare hand user is facing Nan Jing Jing. Both sides stare without a blink towards their opponent and prepare to start the fight anytime soon.

"Aowuuuu!" a cries believed to be from a single wolf could be heard from afar, and being treated as the calling to starts the fight. The two from Gao Family and the two sword using bandits had their weapon clashed towards each other, creating the deafening sounds around the fighting area. The female from Martial Hall is focusing on preparing her martial stance, while the male is struggling to handle the staff bandit with his short mace because of the weapon difference. Nan Jing Jing dances instead of fighting, making the bare hand bandit having a hard time chasing her.

Wu Wei and the sneak weapon bandit is turning around in a circle while clashing the weapon with each other. Wu Wei's short twin dagger easily obtained some advantages on the sneak launching weapon bandit, but because of others safety, he doesn't dare to evade the attack and have to choose to deflect it so nobody else would get attacked blindly because of some friendly fire.

Meanwhile, for Long Feng, the starting of the fight, Long Feng chose to get close to the saber bandit without any precautions. He gets closer in a few blink of an eye and forced the saber bandit to swing his sword downwards, making a cleaving action. But with the help of the Xuan Wu Heavenly Art, Long Feng's movement is fluid as a piece of the leaf floating on the air with the help of few breeze of wind. He moves as if he was dancing and floating on the air, and from the back of the saber bandit's neck, Long Feng just make a stabbing attempt and immediately take his little life away from the body immediately. As he killed the saber bandit, a wisp of the soul comes out from the body and absorbed by the Clearness Jade Gemstone given by Han Feng Xian before.

"Ya Pang!" the sneak weapon bandit cries his companion name as he saw Long Feng easily disposed of this saber bandit name Ya Pang. But before he could take any actions, Coach Driver Wu Wei get close to him and force him to a difficult situation because of a slight disturbance. Nan Jing Jing also easily dispose of the bare hand bandit, with a Chakrams is still attached on his chest even after dying from that single hit. Looking at this results, even Wu Wei is shocked with Long Feng's and Nan Jing Jing's martial performance.

Instead, the male from the martial hall is kept being pressured by the staff bandit and his mastery in staff wielding. The staff dance like a snake and in each full swing, it hits the male from the martial hall at least twice to thrice, rendering him heavily injured and bruised appears everywhere on his body. "Brat, be good and get away, I, Ku Lo, will not force myself to kill a weakling like you." the staff bandit Ku Lo says.

"Ku Lo! Be Careful! The sneak weapon user shouted, but it was too late. The moment Ku Lo confidently threaten the male from martial hall to get lost before his eyes, Nan Jing Jing's Chakrams already separated his palm from the wrist. Long Feng also move from behind, and gave him a slap on the back of his head, taking away his life within that single second. When Ku Lo is dead, the hint of soul, or more likely a wisp of a soul, floats on the air for a moment before absorbed into the Clearness Jade Gemstone.

Among the six bandits, only three left. The Gao Family disciple managed to obtain some advantage in fighting the sword bandits and managed to force them to pull out because of the differences in Sword Dao understanding. The two sword bandits quickly escape, thinking about preserving their lives and request for some aid as they return to the Base. "Husband! Stop them from bringing more helpers!" Nan Jing Jing speaks with Long Feng through the Ring as she charged towards the sneak weapon bandit.

"Understood." Long Feng quickly reacts as he heard Nan Jing Jing's decision, and with a strong force, he fired the Qian Kun Sword towards the one that getting farther than the other, and a Yellow Heart Poison pill towards the slower sword bandit. "Puh!" the Qian Kun Sword stabbed accurately on the faster sword bandit's heart, taking away his pitiful lives without a moment of hesitation, and on another side, the slower sword bandit is screaming from his suffering because coming in contact with the Yellow Heart Poison.

Long Feng killing four bandit cultivators, Nan Jing Jing one, and the remaining is quickly captured by Wu Wei a few minutes later. "Speak! What brings you guys here? The Man Si House should be based close to Jade Ginseng City and not around here. What brings you guys down to this path?" Wu Wei seems to understand the Man Si House route and was wondering why they expand their territories by so much. "Humph! When did the Man Si house need to follow any territorial rules? If you dare to kill me, one of the ten men captain, you will be chased by the other ten men captains before you can escape from the Five Cities Intersection." the captain from Man Si House loudly announce his position within the house, hoping that they will release him and refrain from killing him, and to not attract any pursuers from the Man Si House.

"Customers, what do you all think? If we release him, we will be chased by the bandits from Man Si House immediately. Maybe they will torture us, or extort us for a good amount of coins, but we might get out with our lives. But if we kill him and run away, then we are going to be the hunting targets for the three main Bandit Strongholds in the whole Five City Intersection path." Wu Wei couldn't make a decision by himself as he has six of his clients within the carriage. Instead of deciding by himself, he put the responsibility away so he could get out from trouble.

"Senior Wu Wei, we refuse to decide." the two from Gao Family unwilling to bear the responsibility. Following from behind, the couple from martial hall refused to decide as well, and it came to Long Feng and Nan Jing Jing's choices. But without answering a word, Nan Jing Jing turned around from the situation and allows Long Feng to decides. "Senior Wu Wei, release him." Long Feng says. Without any intention to stop Long Feng's decision, he releases the captain of ten men bandits, and the captain quickly runs away from the group. "You all will be dead the time I reach the Man Si House, be happy I'm giving you some more time to stay alive!" he ran as quick as he could until he turns his head to the direction he is running and stopped suddenly.

A cut made by a flying Chakrams appears before his neck, as his head slowly slips away from the body cleanly, and rolls on the ground for a moment. Long Feng calmly reach to the remaining five corpses and look for any valuables while Nan Jing Jing is looking at the captain's body. In the end, only a few cultivation pills, herbs could be found from the six corpses. "Husband, these six small thieves are quite a poor bunch, don't you think so?" Nan Jing Jing ignore the other's opinion towards her action, as she felt that this is the law of nature [Kill Before you're Killed].

"This young master and young lady..." Wu Wei slightly loses his ability of speech, and his whole body is covered with a huge amount of fear. In his eyes currently, a mindset of (Do not object us, or we are going to easily dispose of you without any difficulties!) is running through his mind, making him almost peed in his pants. "Senior Wu Wei, do not think negative of us. Just think it in this way." Long Feng gave Wu Wei a hand to stand up, as he continues.

"This captain of the bandit's group already mentioned about we are going to be dead when he notified the whole Man Si House. Do you think that based on our strength, we could overpass them whom literally ruled over the whole Five Cities Intersection? Instead of waiting for death now, let us continue on our journey, and be alarmed with our surroundings." Long Feng speaks, as he waves his hand to the others to come up to the carriage and continues their journey.

"The path to Thunderburst Jade City will take us 10 hours to reach there. Between the 1200 Li distance, we will pass by 3 inns. Each inn is managed by the cooperation of all Bronze Hall within the five cities, so if we could get there before any action is taken by the Man Si House, we will be able to request for help from your respective halls." Coach Driver Wu Wei speaking nervously, and without even waiting for everyone to sit down comfortably, he already lashes a whip towards the steed's backside and had them to start pulling the carriage.

Rush traveling through the night is the most suspicious activities. Sometimes this could give a situation where the bandits will consider the carriage to be filled with a dangerous cultivator, and that's why they dare to travel during the night. Another suspicion would be the carriage is carrying important materials, and that's the reason they are worthy to be attacked. Of course, the carriage they are within now easily slips into the second reason because the decoration, the type of Pulling Steeds is used, and also the nervous Coach Driver.

Not even an hour after the carriage started to move, the group already encountered some bandits blocking along the way. Seeing the panic Coach Driver and a few human shadow within, this group of bandits from Iron Jade Stronghold felt that this "Golden nugget" had just fallen in front of them. A total of 11 Bandits appears from the bushes along the road and surrounds the carriage. "Brothers, we are in a rush because somebody within our carriage is infected with Yellow Poison Pill. Can we get away without any trouble, please? Your kindness will be appreciated when our friend is safe from the poison." Wu Wei politely explains the reason of their emergency, and hope the bandits could give them a way.

"Hahaha, you think we are 5 years old kids here? Leave all your precious belonging here, or we are going to force our way into the carriage and drag all of you out." one of the bandits, seems to be their leader, speaks. But then, the carriage door opened, and Long Feng came down from the carriage holding a pouch with few hundred Blood Refinement Pellets within. "Brothers, a little of gifts to use the road, please accept this." Long Feng shove the opened pouch with 100 pills to the leader and ask politely to be given a passage pass. The leader took the pouch, and checked its content after he finishes calculating the number of Pills within, the leader's greed came up into his head, and he actually ordered his subordinates to rob the remaining people within the carriage.

"You force me to be ruthless." Long Feng shakes his head left and right, indicating a disappointment towards this person that called as human. A payment had already been paid up to ask for a safe journey, but they are still tried to rob us because of their blinding greed within their eyes. Long Feng hidden sword appears from his hand after he withdraws it from the Spatial Storage, and make a slash before the leader has the chances to evade. An Adept Tier cultivator is slaying a Human Refinement Tier cultivator. How hard could that be?

Just like this, the leader's pitiful life is faded from the ruthless sword strike. Without anyone participating in the fight, the carriage passengers are all calm as they heard the scream of pity and fear from outside of the carriage. Ten minutes later, Long Feng entered the carriage and Wu Wei continues with their journey. Long Feng killed all 11 bandits cultivator, and scavenge whatever is worthy for him to collect. Although there is a total of 11 wisps absorbed by Long Feng's Clearness Jade Gemstone, nothing could be seen changing within the gemstone.

The carriage continues, until three hours later, they managed to take a short rest within the safe zone protected by the force of all Bronze Hall. They purchase some of the dried rations before continues with their journey, and without any obstacles along their path, they managed to cross all three inns along the way, and only 50 Li remains before they could exit the Five Cities Intersection. The group relaxed as they finally going to get out from the Intersection, but the relax a little bit too early!

At least a total of 1000 bandits cultivator from Man Si House is gathered before the exits of the Thunderburst Jade City, and these 1000 people are lead by 10 Adept Tier cultivators! Just with this 1000 bandits appearance before the exits of the Intersection, this gave Wu Wei a shock, as he tightens the reins of the steeds and stops them from continuing forwards!
