The Eighteen Bandit Gangs usually didn't leave the Chongqing province. However, due to a certain event six years ago, this had to change.
The discovery of the Three-Eyed Godly Thief's treasury meant that cultivators came from all over the martial world. The problem... was that there were too many. Even if Chongqing was their territory, they were not at a level where they could handle all the cultivators that were gathering.
Ultimately, they had no choice but to stop their banditry and retreat to their abodes. What was fortunate was that they had some loot saved up, so they weren't particularly worried about running out.
The eighteen bandit lords were dissatisfied that they had to open their warehouses and hand out their own assets, but they had no other choice since they wouldn't be able to feed their subordinates otherwise. If they didn't, it could lead to a riot.
