Chapter 111: Plunder (Part 1)
"I heard there's a sacred mountain at the end of the northern border. Many strange things have happened there since ancient times. Even those Yuanying-level ancestors have gone there and never returned. It's really scary!"
An old man who looked to be in his fifties was telling Gu Chi the story.
"Even a powerful Lord-level warrior in the Nascent Soul stage died there without returning? Is this true?" Gu Chi and the big black dog were both shocked.
The powerful masters of the Yuanying stage have always been recognized as the highest combat power. They are the boundary markers standing at the end of the road to immortality. For such supreme beings, is there any place in this world that they cannot set foot in?
The old man said, "It should be true. Look at the mining areas scattered across the northern border. How come no transcendent power dares to claim that sacred mountain as their own?"
As far as he knew, the mining areas divided by various forces were basically divided far around the sacred mountain, more than 30,000 miles away, but no sect dared to get close to it. This alone was enough to show how much fear the various forces had of the sacred mountain.
"However, for the major transcendent forces, the greatest threat is still bandits."
The Northern Territory is a notoriously chaotic place with bandits everywhere and bloodshed almost every day. Even a transcendent force like the Xuanyuan Immortal Palace has been robbed.
"They even dared to plunder the Xuanyuan Immortal Palace?!" Gu Chi was shocked. Aren't these bandits in the northern border too rampant?
"Why should we be afraid of this? Some of the biggest thieves are very powerful. They rob and run away, appearing and disappearing without a trace. By the time the reinforcements arrive, they are already gone."
In the northern border, there are fourteen most famous thieves. Xuanyuan Immortal Palace once joined forces with several other transcendent forces to encircle and suppress them, but they all ended in failure.
"kill--!"
Suddenly, a sound like thunder exploded, shaking the sky.
It seemed to be proving the war and bloodshed in the north.
Gu Chi and his companions had just entered the mining area of Xuanyuan Immortal Palace when a group of bandits came to kill them.
It was estimated that there were seventy or eighty invaders, riding on ferocious beasts with scales and armor, and their roars shook the sky.
This is a group of powerful bandits, and each of them exudes a strong aura of blood and murder. It goes without saying that each of them is a ruthless character who loves to kill people!
"Hide now!"
The old man growled, and found a partition of the cellar as if he were familiar with the place, and hid in it with Gu Chi and the big black dog.
Gu Chi looked around and said, "Old man, are you sure it's safe here?"
The cellar was not dug very deep, and there were no defensive measures. Gu Chi felt it was unreliable no matter how he looked at it. He hoped that a landslide would happen and bury the old man alive.
"Don't worry, it won't collapse that easily. Last time, a group of bandits broke in, and I, an old man, escaped the disaster here."
As he spoke, the old man stretched out his hand to open a crack in the partition above his head and peeked out secretly. Gu Chi and the big black dog also came over, shouting "Oh my god" repeatedly.
Seventy or eighty wild beasts roared to the sky and earth as they all rushed in.
The leader in the center was a man who looked to be about thirty years old. He sat upright on a violent beast that was completely black with four hooves as white as fresh snow. He held a black iron dragon spear in his hand and looked extraordinary and powerful.
In the void behind him stood thirty-six huge flags, each one as red as blood, exuding a soul-stirring aura.
"锵", "锵", "锵"
He threw out three blood-red flags in succession. The flagpoles sunk into the ground like divine pillars supporting the sky. Their momentum was as imposing as a mountain and unfathomable. The flags fluttered in the wind, and scarlet blood light rolled across the sky.
Many restrictions in this mining area suddenly became invalid, and various large formations stopped working and were cut off.
"kill!"
The group of bandits behind him were all extremely powerful, holding all kinds of weapons and riding beasts, like an unstoppable torrent of steel.
"Who is causing trouble here?!"
The monks from Xuanyuan Immortal Palace rushed up into the sky to block the bandits' path. Leading the way were three old men with white hair and beard.
"I, Wei Jin!" The middle-aged man in the center shouted, and swung the spear in his hand vigorously, erupting with a terrifying wave like a tidal wave.
He charged the beast forward, so fast that even the naked eye could not catch it, only a shadow could be seen.
"The seventh thief, Wei Jin?!" All the cultivators stationed here in Xuanyuan Immortal Palace were shocked. The three elders in charge were also horrified and hurriedly used their spiritual weapons and magic tools to stop him.
However, this notorious thief in the North was so strong that he could not be stopped at all. He swept the spear in his hand, and more than a dozen cultivators behind the three elders of Xuanyuan Immortal Palace screamed, collapsed on the spot, and turned into a bloody mist and dissipated.
"Wei Jin! You are also from a noble family, why are you so cruel and brutal!" An elder of Xuanyuan Immortal Palace shouted.
"none of your business!"
Wei Jin let the beast attack, and the three old men from Xuanyuan Immortal Palace joined forces to fight against it. One of them sacrificed a treasure seal, which quickly grew to the size of a mountain in the wind, emitting divine light and suppressing it downwards.
“Crack—bang!!!”
The black iron dragon spear was indestructible. It struck the mountain-like giant divine seal, causing it to shatter and explode on the spot.
The elder was shocked and left a shadow on the spot, flying back quickly.
Unfortunately, Wei Jin had already let the beast kill him close to him, and the Panlong Spear pierced forward and went straight through the elder's chest.
"boom"
Wei Jin shook his hand, and the old man stuck on the spear was torn into pieces.
"You..." It all happened so fast that the two people next to him had no time to stop it.
"You should go with him!" Wei Jin brandished his spear, blood spurted out, and the two elders died on the spot, without any ability to fight at all.
"The Seventh Thief—Wei Jin!"
A loud shout came from the distant sky, and two more people rushed over from the distant sky. One of them was the middle-aged man who brought Gu Chi and the others here.
"As a descendant of the Tuoba family, you have allowed yourself to degenerate and become a bandit in the northern border. Aren't you afraid of bringing shame to your Tuoba ancestors?!" an elder of the Xuanyuan Immortal Palace shouted.
"Stop mentioning the Tuoba family. I have severed ties with them a long time ago!" Wei Jin's eyes flashed with ferocity.
"We have no business interfering in any grudges between you and the Tuoba family, but why did you break into the spiritual mining area of my Xuanyuan Immortal Palace?!"
Upon hearing this, Wei Jin burst out laughing. "What a joke! The mining area outside the Immortal Mausoleum is supposed to be the common property of the people of the Northern Territory. You just draw a line here and it's yours? If that's the case, then if I draw a line around your Xuanyuan Immortal Palace, does that mean I own it, too?"
After saying that, he stuck the Panlong War Spear into the ground, and a scarlet blood light burst out, completely covering the mining area of Xuanyuan Immortal Palace in an instant.
