After so many years of practice and experience, Jiang Beiran knew one thing well, and that was to never underestimate anyone. Even if the other party was an insignificant person with a cultivation level far lower than him. When someone really grew to hate you, it was possible for them to do anything, whether they administered poison, hired an assassin, set up a trap, or whatever else they could think of. In short, it would be impossible to defend oneself against such attempts.
Furthermore, even a single person could pose such a big threat, not to mention a faction. Every faction that managed to survive in a region for a long time more or less had some background or special methods. Otherwise, it would have been destroyed over and over again long ago.
Also, having confirmed that the world was absolutely targeting him, Jiang Beiran knew that the likelihood of events that would normally have a small probability of happening was now infinitely higher. For example, some people looked ordinary on the surface, but secretly had a Mystic King for a brother. These kinds of incidents were just completely unreasonable.

So, for Jiang Beiran, the options he had just encountered in front of him could be said to be commonplace. Almost every town would have a number of rampant landlords or ruthless rogues like these.
Although rogues were sometimes considered a subset of chivalrous heroes, they were actually just a group of scoundrels. Most of the time, they would be bullying the weak by relying upon their physical capabilities and exploiting the residents, but sometimes they would be sentimental and perform the occasional chivalrous act.
When he first encountered these rogues, Jiang Beiran felt that they were like the heroes of Mount Liang [1]. They were the ones helping the people fight against the terrible officials, yet they were also the ones drinking alcohol without paying. Some of the more egregious ones would even open a shop selling buns with human flesh as filling or conduct some other illegal business.
