Thinking of this, Jiang Yuntian was secretly surprised. He did not know when the old man on the camel had arrived, but judging from the situation, he should have been here for some time. It was very likely that he had witnessed the life and death battle between him and the two bandits just now. Although the purpose of killing the red-clothed man and the thin man was purely out of self-defense, Jiang Yuntian, who rarely killed people, still felt embarrassed and uncomfortable.
A gust of wind blew in from the corner of the sand dune, blowing the golden coat on the old man's body. The three strands of beard under his chin also fluttered in the wind, giving people the appearance of a sage-like expert.
The old man was wearing a scholar's hat and a golden coat. The fabric used to make it looked extraordinary. In addition, the elegant and graceful temperament that the old man exuded was definitely not something that could be pretended to be. Therefore, anyone who saw this old man would definitely think that he was not an ordinary person.
As for why this elegant and graceful old man would appear in the desert, what was particularly puzzling was that the old man was riding a camel alone in the desert. These places were strange and difficult to understand.
Jiang Yuntian, who had doubts in his heart, originally wanted to question him. However, he, who had always been cautious, thought about it and gave up on this plan. This was because Jiang Yuntian knew that there were many troubles when he was outside. Most of the time, it was better to avoid trouble. He had recently killed five bandits in a row and had already caused him a lot of trouble. Therefore, it was better to avoid trouble as much as possible.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yuntian swallowed the words that were already on the tip of his tongue. Then, he pretended that nothing had happened and quietly turned around, no longer looking at the old man.
What he did not expect was that just as he turned around and raised his foot, he heard the old man shout in a deep voice,"Young man, stop!"
Jiang Yuntian turned around when he heard the voice. He suddenly realized that the old man in yellow had already gotten off the hump.
Seeing Jiang Yuntian stop, the yellow-robed old man walked over without a word and went straight to the thin man's corpse. He stretched out a foot and used the tip of his foot to flip the corpse that weighed 100 pounds as if it was nothing. He took a closer look at the spot where the sword had been stabbed in the chest, sneered, and nodded slightly.
Jiang Yuntian was secretly shocked when he saw the old man's action of lifting the corpse just now. Just from the kick and flip just now, he knew that the old man's martial arts were definitely extremely high. He saw the old man sneer and then nod slightly. Out of curiosity, he could not help but ask,"Old man, do you know this person?”
"I don't just know him!" The old man glanced at him and snorted. He said in a warning tone,"Young man, do you know that you've already caused a huge disaster?”
As he spoke, he slowly approached Jiang Yuntian and stood beside him. Sensing that the old man had no ill intentions towards him, Jiang Yuntian stood calmly and did not move. When the old man approached, he realized that the old man was very tall. He was already considered tall, but compared to the old man in front of him, he was half a head shorter.
The old man should not be young, but his skin was fair and rosy. If one did not look carefully, one would not be able to see any wrinkles. Even though he had been in the desert for days, there was not a trace of dust on his body. It was unknown how he did it.
Upon closer inspection, the old man's golden coat was actually made of high-quality silk. There was a silk sash of the same color and material tied around his waist. At the end of the silk sash was a crystal-clear agate the size of a pigeon's egg. It was obvious that it was extremely expensive!
The old man was carrying a yellow silk backpack of the same color as his coat. Because the color was too similar to his coat, it was difficult to tell if one did not look closely.
Hearing the old man say that he had caused a lot of trouble, Jiang Yuntian could not help but be stunned.
Without waiting for Jiang Yuntian to ask, the yellow-robed old man took the initiative to speak with assurance,"The skinny man you killed is called Sima Lei. Together with the red-robed man you killed and the three people you killed yesterday, they are known as the Five Rapscallions of the Desert by the Jianghu people. They have been running amok in this desert for many years and have committed many crimes. Many people hate them to the bone.”
After a pause, the old man nodded silently and continued,"As the saying goes, if you do more injustice, you will die. The Five Rapscallions of the Desert had lost their lives in your hands. Perhaps it was the retribution that the five of them deserved for their years of evil deeds. Karma cycle, retribution!"
"So the five of them are the infamous Five Rapscallions of the Desert?" Jiang Yuntian was shocked.”
He laughed coldly and continued,"I heard a long time ago that: These five people had been robbing traveling merchants for a long time in the Wild Sand Ridge area. They had committed many crimes and crimes. Now that the five of them had been killed, they deserved it!”
After hearing Jiang Yuntian's words, the old man chuckled a few times. He slowly extended a slender hand with crystal nails and gently stroked the three strands of his slightly white beard. With a solemn expression, he said,"Young man, I didn't expect you to speak so loudly despite your young age. As the saying goes, you have to look at the master before you beat a dog. Before you killed the five people, did you know who the master behind these five people was?”
When the old man spoke, his accent was very mixed. There was an accent from the southern region of the Central Plains, but it was also mixed with the accent of the northern desert. It was difficult to guess where the old man came from.
Jiang Yuntian felt that the old man was taking advantage of his seniority and could not help but feel a trace of displeasure in his heart. Therefore, he shook his head gently and did not want to talk to the old man anymore.
The old man was a shrewd person. After looking at Jiang Yuntian from head to toe, he immediately understood what he was thinking.
He was actually an arrogant person. He only had a good impression of Jiang Yuntian, so he wanted to say a few words to him. Unexpectedly, his good intentions were not appreciated, and he was a little angry in his heart. At the thought of this, he snorted and said,"Since you don't want to know, I won't tell you anymore. But…young man!"
Jiang Yuntian cupped his fists and interrupted,"My surname is Jiang, and my name is Yuntian. Please tell me your true name, old sir."”
The yellow-robed elder smiled but did not answer Jiang Yuntian's question. Instead, he said with contempt,"" Young man, judging from your current appearance, you probably have very little experience in the martial world and don't understand the risks in the martial world at all…"
