Chapter 437: Chapter 433: The Last Tribesman

For Du Sha, neither the Tang Clan nor the Mi Clan, nor any prominent family in Xiling were forces he wanted to rely on. He’d seen too much he didn’t want to witness through his years of chivalrous adventures.

Why had the majority of commoners in western Longzhou heard of the reputation of the peaceful city of Xiling, yet local bandit threats remained copious? Despite the Tang and Mi Clans being so powerful, were they unable to eradicate these bandits and maintain peace in the surrounding villages and towns?

As formidable as the Tang and Mi Clans were, it wasn’ t a struggle to protect the surrounding hundred-plus villages and towns. If they truly wished to, they could vanquish all the water bandits and mountain robbers across western Longzhou, but they did not.

Some bandits had lairs right in the forests around Xiling, a fact the Tang and Mi Clans were well aware of, but they never sent people to eradicate them.

Why? Because with these bandits around, the local villages and towns were dependent on the martial power of Xiling. Every autumn harvest, they would go to Xiling to ask the Tang and Mi Clans to send soldiers to eliminate bandits.

But like leeks, bandits which were cleared out each year appeared again the next.

Could it really be that bandits were so efficient in training martial arts, quick enough to produce a new batch each year?

For Du Sha, this question that had bewildered him since he was young was finally answered during a campaign to wipe out a gang of mountain bandits: All the banditry around Xiling, shockingly, was fostered by the prominent families of Xiling.

The prominent families annually recruited hordes of wandering martial artists who then became bandits and ravaged western Longzhou. When it came to “clearing out” banditry, it was not the bandits who were killed but the martial artists protecting the villages and towns.

Bandits looted counties and small towns and decapitated the warriors of justice. When it came time for the two clans to return their dues, they handed over these heads and perished the hideout.
