A flicker of anger flashed in Bai Chenxiang's eyes.
"Give us back our supplies!"
Bai Chenxiang shouted loudly.
When the bandits saw Bai Chenxiang and her group, they not only showed no fear but burst out laughing.
"Who are you people? How dare you try to snatch our things?"
Bai Chenxiang said coldly,
"These supplies belong to our Speed Clan; you cannot take them."
The bandit leader stepped forward and looked at Bai Chenxiang.
"Little girl, you've got guts. Although it says 'Speed Clan' on them, these supplies are ours now. If you know what's good for you, leave quickly, or don't blame us for being impolite."
Bai Chenxiang looked at the bandit leader without fear.
"You bandits only know how to bully the weak. No wonder you're destined to be despised by the world your whole lives."
The bandit leader was enraged by Bai Chenxiang's words. He laughed sinisterly,
"Good, since you're so uncooperative, don't blame us. Brothers, attack!"
The bandits swarmed forward, charging towards Bai Chenxiang and her group.
Bai Chenxiang and the elites also swiftly met them, engaging in a fierce battle with the bandits.
Bai Chenxiang's group, originating from the Speed Clan, were agile and extremely fast.
She wielded the longsword in her hand, continuously attacking the bandits.
Her swordplay was sharp and incredibly fast; the bandits couldn't even clearly see where Bai Chenxiang's longsword was coming from.
The clan elites also unleashed their Soul Rings, bravely fighting the enemies and engaging in a desperate struggle with the bandits.
During the battle, Bai Chenxiang noticed that although the bandits were numerous, their coordination was poor.
Furthermore, this group of bandits moved slowly and clumsily, possessing only brute strength.
She decided to exploit this weakness by adopting a strategy of breaking them down one by one.
Bai Chenxiang shouted loudly,
"Everyone, spread out and defeat them individually!"
Upon hearing Bai Chenxiang's command, the warriors quickly dispersed.
They exploited their speed advantage, continuously attacking the bandits.
The bandits were caught off guard and retreated one after another.
Seeing the unfavorable situation, the bandit leader grabbed the resources and tried to escape.
Bai Chenxiang was quick-eyed and swift-footed, dashing forward in a single stride to block his path.
"Trying to run? Not so easy!"
Bai Chenxiang said coldly.
The bandit leader looked at Bai Chenxiang, a look of fear appearing in his eyes.
"You… what do you want?"
Bai Chenxiang glared at the bandit leader, her longsword in hand slightly raised, emitting a chilling glow.
"Put down our supplies, and perhaps I can spare your life."
The bandit leader gritted his teeth and said viciously,
"Little girl, don't be too arrogant! Do you think you can stop me?"
Bai Chenxiang's lips curved slightly, revealing a mocking smile:
"It seems you still don't believe in the speed of our Speed Clan. If you think you can escape, you're welcome to try."
The bandit leader's eyes darted around, trying to find an opportunity to escape.
"Hmph, don't get too complacent, Speed Clan. Our defeat this time is just a temporary setback. But don't even dream of living peacefully. We'll be back again in the future, just you wait."
Bai Chenxiang stared fixedly at him:
"If you dare to come again, you won't be so lucky next time. Our Speed Clan is not to be trifled with."
Though the bandit leader was fearful in his heart, he still spoke defiantly:
"Alright, we'll see."
Bai Chenxiang flicked the longsword in her hand, pointing it at the bandit leader and saying,
"Now, put down the supplies."
The bandit leader, left with no choice, had to put down the supplies, leaving behind a harsh threat:
"I will remember this humiliation today."
Bai Chenxiang watched the bandit leader and his subordinates slink away, and she let out a deep sigh of relief.
She turned to her clansmen and said,
"Everyone, check the supplies and see if there's any damage."
The clansmen immediately began to carefully inspect the supplies in each package.
One of the clansmen said,
"Young Sect Master, the supplies are mostly intact, but two large bags of wood were burned."
Bai Chenxiang nodded and said,
"Good, let's quickly transport the intact supplies back to the clan."
Everyone carried the supplies and headed towards the Speed Clan.
Along the way, a clansman transporting goods asked worriedly,
"Young Sect Master, will these bandits come back to cause trouble? After all, we made him run away so disgracefully this time; it would be problematic if he brought more bandits next time."
Bai Chenxiang pondered for a moment, then said firmly,
"If they dare to come again, we are not afraid. However, we still need to strengthen our defenses, just in case."
Another person said,
"These bandits are truly despicable, always doing such wicked things."
Bai Chenxiang sighed lightly:
"There will always be evildoers in the world, but we cannot let them do as they please. As long as we stand united, we can protect our home and our clansmen."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Upon returning to the Speed Clan, Bai Chenxiang reported the incident to the Sect Master.
Sect Master Bai He listened, then nodded slightly and said to Bai Chenxiang,
"Chenxiang, you did very well. Not only did you reclaim the supplies this time, but you also struck a blow to the bandits' arrogance."
Bai Chenxiang humbly said,
"Father, all of this is everyone's credit. Without everyone's brave fighting, we wouldn't have been able to successfully reclaim the supplies. However, some wood was damaged in the battle."
Sect Master Bai He smiled:
"It's alright, the most important thing is that our people are safe."
Bai Chenxiang also calmed down; she slightly furrowed her brows, thinking seriously:
"Why did those bandits know our transport team's route? Did someone tip them off?"
Bai Chenxiang's question made Sect Master Bai He instantly startled, and his expression turned serious.
He knew deeply that if there was an internal spy in the clan, it would be a huge hidden danger.
Sect Master Bai He and Bai Chenxiang looked at each other, nodding in silent understanding.
Then, Sect Master Bai He said to a clansman beside him,
"Gather the Elders for a meeting in the conference hall!"
"Yes!"
The clansman bowed respectfully in response, then quickly took the order and left.
Before long, all the Elders of the Speed Clan arrived at the conference hall.
The atmosphere in the conference hall was heavy. Sect Master Bai He sat at the head, looking at everyone with a serious expression.
Bai Chenxiang stood to the side, her brows slightly furrowed, deep in thought.
Given the urgency, none of the Elders knew what had happened.
The Elders looked at each other, their expressions filled with doubt and unease.
At this moment.
A white-haired Elder was the first to speak:
"Sect Master, why have you called us here so urgently?"
Sect Master Bai He cleared his throat and spoke gravely:
"I have called all the Elders here today because there is an extremely urgent and important matter to discuss with everyone. There is no time to lose. I suspect that a spy has appeared within our clan!"
The Elders were all greatly shocked to hear this.
"How is that possible?"
An Elder asked in disbelief.
