Far away from the Shoushan sect,near the Wen dynasty border,
Kang Bo kept scratching the back of his neck. It was getting worse. It was red, and Kang Bo could feel it throbbing. He has been getting hounded by bandit groups for the last four days. He and Jin Ah were tired beyond comprehension.
It all started when Jin Ah wanted Kang Bo to buy her a gaudy golden necklace. While flaunting her neck, she became proof that Kang Bo and Jin Ah were rich and worthy to rob. These bandits ranged from foundation establishment experts to mortals. If any of these bandits reached the golden core, they would become a minor demon sect or join a major demon sect.
At a certain point, to Kang Bo's dismay, it became not about robbing them but about principles. The bandit leader felt he had sunk a lot of resources into chasing the couple, and it would be a shame if he let them get away. This is widely known as the "sunken cost fallacy" in modern times.
