Because mountain bandits generally possessed higher cultivation realms now, the difficulty of advancing was much greater than before.
Therefore, in the battle on the Lion-Tiger Plain, very few mountain bandits actually managed to advance by a single realm.
Aside from that, due to guarding the Chaotic Stone Forest, the Cloud-Piercing Hall and the Martial-Awe Hall jointly pulled away over a hundred men, leaving Liangshan Stronghold with only a little over three hundred bandits as truly usable force.
