Chapter 204: Spare No One

"Ahhhhhhh!"

Amidst the deathly stillness of a nine-storey building, a sudden heart-rendering scream pierced out.

"Seal the entire Jin Villa at once!!"

Roughly half an incense worth of time, another sharp and furious roar echoed out.

That voice belonged to Jin Lieyang. Evidently, the Jin cultivators caught in Wei Suo's play had already rushed back.

When the first sharp scream pierced out, Wei Suo was already standing inside an enclosed stone room. A Divine Sea Stage level 5 Jin disciple was lying in the ground and trembling uncontrollably. He wasn't moving at all but his breathing remained stable, indicating there wasn't a threat to his life.

Many shelves and chests were arranged inside this stone room, where various skill talismans, artifacts, essence metals, and incomplete artifacts were placed. A ma.s.sive pile of alluring spiritual stones were found in one of the opened chests.

If it was another Heavenly Circuit Stage cultivator standing here, his eyes would be glittering with ecstatic gold. Instead, Wei Suo couldn't help but carry a bleak smile.

The Wei Suo, who had an abundance of experience in counting heaps of spiritual stones, didn't need to count at all. He could tell that the spiritual stones chest only held approximately 80,000 low grade spiritual stones. This was a huge disparity compared to his 200,000 low grade spiritual stones.

As for the artifacts and skill talismans, their grades weren't high and could possibly only attract Divine Sea Stage cultivators. And to a cultivator who possessed numerous Spirit Cla.s.s artifacts, it wasn't of much use.

After shaking his head helplessly, Wei Suo didn't pause but quickly poured the spiritual stones into his Treasure Receiving Pocket.

Following that, Wei Suo produced the Treasure Receiving Pocket he acquired from Jin Shenxuan, and plundered all skill talismans, artifacts and essence metals. Although they weren't useful to Wei Suo, they could still fetch some spiritual stones.

A fully filled treasury was reduced in a barren land in a flash.

Next, Wei Suo quickly fled outside.

Roughly the time taken to brew tea after Jin Lieyang shouted to seal Jin Villa….boom! A sonorous sound resounded. An explosion suddenly erupted from beneath the courtyard nearest to Zhang Wuya, causing the entire building to collapse in burning ruins.

Bright flames danced around as rocks and sediments scattered. Jin Lieyang and Jin Quanji hastily charged out from an underground pa.s.sage with faces covered in dust and ash.

The two of them were wrapped in a scarlet light screen. Many black streaks crazily charged out in pursuit, slamming against their light screen causing splattering crackles.

Jin Lieyang held a red drum-like artifact. With every beat, he unleashed 5-6 fiery tongues that were as thick as a human's arm. Jin Quanji held a golden short whip which incessantly issued out yellow lightning b.a.l.l.s.

"What the h.e.l.l are these black bugs?!"

The might of their artifacts were clearly Half-Spirit Cla.s.s or higher, but to their astoundment and ashen faces, they couldn't do much to these tiny black bugs that swarmed out from a peculiar ruby globe. When the lightning b.a.l.l.s and fire tongues engulfed the bugs, some tiny black bugs would just drop to the ground, but after recovering some energy, they would buzz into the air once again.

Hearing the explosions, many Jin Clan cultivators flew over.

"Those black bugs can actually destroy artifacts!"

Upon viewing the pathetic state of Jin Lieyang and Jin Quanji being besieged by the Black Drillworms, the other cultivators immediately summoned various skill techniques and artifacts and partic.i.p.ated in the battle.

However, to their chaotic horror, some of the artifacts had soared and spiralled in the air for two rounds, before losing their divine light and falling to the ground.

"Big brother! Father!"

A cultivator soared in as fast as lightning. It was indeed JIn Quanchong, whose cultivation was higher than Jin Quanji even though he merely appears younger than thirty.

Wei Suo found out from Yanheng previously that amongst Jin Lieyang's children, there were two children who possessed incredibly high talent. One was the Heavenly Circuit Stage level 2 Jin Quanchong, and the other was Jin Quanmin, a Heavenly Circuit Stage level 3 cultivator who was currently adventuring outside.

At present, this sinister young cultivator who wanted to deal with Wei Suo previously had adopted an exceedingly unsightly expression. Upon approaching Jin Lieyang and Jin Quanji, he called out sullenly, "That guy managed to infiltrate the treasury!"

"What!" Jin Lieyang immediately shouted out. "What did he steal?"

"He took everything."

"WHAT!!!" Jin Lieyang nearly vomited blood, but quickly focused back to the tiny black bugs buzzing around. His nostrils flared as he shouted, "Kill these alien bugs! It must have taken him loads of effort to nurture such formidable alien bugs! Do not spare even one, we must ensure his losses aren't small either."

"Kill!" Jin Quanchong and the others proceeded to ma.s.sacre the Black Drillworms with bloodl.u.s.ted frenzy.

Under normal circ.u.mstances, Wei Suo would faint from laughing if he knew the Jin Clan had treated those Black Drillworms as his painstakingly nurtured bugs. Yet now, he may not even be able to smile.

Several hundreds of meters away from Jin Villa, a cyan robed middle-age cultivator stood before Wei Suo in an alley.

In Wei Suo's hand, was a seemingly unconscious youth. This was w.a.n.g Tong, the a.s.sistant of Jade Wonder Mill whose figure was similar to Wei Suo.

As it turns out, after ransacking the Jin Clan's treasury, Wei Suo seized the opportunity when the Jin Clan members were searching the ancestral hall and fled without stopping.

While travelling through here, Wei Suo coincidentally noticed a Jin clan cultivator guarding the unconscious w.a.n.g Tong. Without thinking much, Wei Suo knew the Jin cultivators had captured w.a.n.g Tong after realizing they had fallen for the trap where w.a.n.g Tong had replaced Wei Suo to visit Tealstare Cliff.

Back in Jin Villa where he spotted the captured w.a.n.g Tong, Wei Suo immediately hesitated.

His Concealment Robe could only conceal a single person and it would bring him much troubles to escape with a mortal. His chances of being discovered before escaping to safety would be amplified manifold.

In that instant, Wei Suo deliberated over ignoring w.a.n.g Tong since he possessed no special relations with w.a.n.g Tong; he merely paid him some spiritual stones to guide him around town.

Nevertheless, after hesitating a brief while, Wei Suo still sneakily a.s.saulted the Jin Villa cultivator and rescued w.a.n.g Tong.

After all, he was the one that implicated w.a.n.g Tong. Wei Suo wasn't confident that the Jin Clan would spare an ant-like mortal in such a state of overflowing rage.

Similar to how he immobilized the cultivators earlier, Wei Suo acted in accordance to the cultivator guarding w.a.n.g Tong. Wei Suo then examined and realized w.a.n.g Tong fainted only due to some sealed up meridians and there was no danger to his life. To make his escape easier, Wei Suo left w.a.n.g Tong unconscious.

To avoid the pursuing Jin cultivators, Wei Suo definitely wasted more time he originally planned to stealthily escort w.a.n.g Tong out of Jin Villa.

However, when he finally stepped into this alley, the most worrisome event occurred.

A cyan robed middle-age cultivator abruptly emerged from the other side of the alley and obstructed him.

With a sweep of his Aura Determining Technique, Wei Suo realized that cultivator wasn't ordinary but was shockingly a Heavenly Circuit Stage 4 cultivator with several dazzling fireball talismanic patterns on his cyan robe.

"This brother, what is the meaning of you blocking my way?" Wei Suo cut to the chase after observing the incisive glare of the other cultivator.

"This one is Lu Shaoyuan from the Liu Clan." The cyan robed cultivator's eyes reflected flashes of light from afar, in addition to the boomings coming from Jin Villa.

He emotionlessly said, "Seems like a huge mishap has befallen the Jin Villa, this brother's conduct of carrying an unconscious mortal seems rather suspicious. Since I've coincidentally encountered this, I wonder if brother can come up with an explanation. Besides, if someone were to plot against the Jin Clan in Perching Phoenix City, this one cannot simply idle by and spectate."

"Someone from the Liu Clan?" Wei Suo's eyes flickered with malice as he expressionlessly answered, "This mortal is my friend and I would absolutely not harm him. As for what's happening, I am knowledgeable as well. It's best you don't obstruct me."

"Just based on your words and you want me to release you, isn't that too far-fetched?" Liu Shaoyuan sneered with an unconsenting countenance.

"Count this as owing your Liu Clan a debt, let me off will you?" Wei Suo started channeling his true energy as his Divine Seas begun radiating out. A tremendous surge of aura instantly swept out.

"Mid level Earth Rank Cultivation technique!" Liu Shaoyuan's expression changed and his eyes flickered with hesitation. However, in the blink of an eye, his expression firmed up as he shook his head. "I still request for brother to stay, we can talk after I've clarified the situation."

"Since that's the case, then don't blame me!"

Wei Suo gritted his teeth as a divine light screen covered his body. Simultaneously, six scorching brilliance flooded out from his front.

He directly summoned the Divine Six-Suns Firefork.

The reason for his abrupt a.s.sault was because Wei Suo could sense that this cultivator, who wasn't inferior to him, was already pressing forward.

Right now, it would be a small matter if Jin Villa cultivators arrived and surrounded him. The graver consequence would be failing to escape from this city. Acting in this city meant incurring the combined wrath of powerful cultivators of the Liu Clan and the Zhang Clan!

Chapter 205: Flight Amidst Blood

"Ahh!"

Boom!

A loud cry and a explosion resounded simultaneously.

In face of the scorching blaze, the horrified Liu Shaoyuan quickly summoned a white divine light screen and a black artifact s.h.i.+eld.

However, the golden blaze of the Divine Six-Suns Firefork smashed in and instantly shattered the black artifact s.h.i.+eld into pieces. Following that, the white divine light screen flickered for a split second before shattering as well.

Then, the Divine Six-Suns Firefork struck against Liu Shaoyuan's chest with unstoppable momentum.

KAZSST! Even his cyan robe, which appeared like a top grade defensive artifact robe, couldn't defy the might of the Divine Six-Suns Firefork that had just broke through two defensive barriers. However, it failed to puncture through the artifact s.h.i.+eld, but only sent Liu Shaoyuan flying backwards as his chest emitted bone fracturing sounds.

Struck in such a severe manner, Liu Shaoyuan directly fainted while still cras.h.i.+ng away in mid-air.

"Impudent! Who dares to act violently in Perching Phoenix City!"

All of a sudden, a scholarly looking yellow-robed cultivator emerged before Wei Suo. This was also a Heavenly Circuit Stage level 4 cultivator. He initially adopted a composed expression but upon witnessing Liu Shaoyuan getting struck flying without being able to defend, his expression turned incomparably pale as he roared with imposing words but a cowardly tone. Then, he scrambled in panic to summon out various defensive artifacts.

Instead, Wei Suo didn't wish to be tangled up with him. After he just summoned two artifact s.h.i.+elds, Wei Suo was already soaring dozens of meters away on his White Jade Crane.

The stunned cultivator, who was scrambling to summon his defensive artifacts, was instantly flabbergasted by Wei Suo's escape. He then proceeded to fly to the unconscious Liu Shaoyuan before activating a red jade talisman.

The red jade talisman shattered and released a red beam into the sky. Instantly, it transformed into a ma.s.sive blood moon above the entire Perching Phoenix City.

Consecutively, at least 20 plus flying lights soared up from Perching Phoenix City.

Upon noticing those flying lights, Wei Suo cursed bitterly in his heart as he urged the White Jade Crane to its maximum velocity.

In the blink of an eye, he was now a rogue cultivator against all cultivators of this city. Thus, wanting to utilize the city's transportation array was simply impossible and fleeing by the wilderness was the only alternative left.

"Who are you?!"

Wei Suo was soaring towards a direction without a flying light. Despite that, not too far from the city wall of Perching Phoenix City, two cultivators abruptly surfaced and shouted at Wei Suo sternly.

"Scram!"

Wei Suo didn't dare to tarry and immediately activated his Divine Six-Suns Firefork at the two random cultivators.

"Divine Six-Suns Firefork!"

The features of the two cultivators couldn't be determined under the darkness of night. Still, they were rather knowledgeable and immediately exclaimed when the Divine Six-Suns Firefork was activated. Then, they strove to stack layers of defence.

Boom! Pa! Explosions pierced the air as the Divine Six-Suns Firefork shattered some of the two cultivators' defense and returned to Wei Suo's hand.

Following that, Wei Suo surged past above the two cultivators without slowing down.

Seeing there was only one final divine light screen s.h.i.+elding them, the two cultivators broke out in cold sweat.

At this moment, the cultivators responsible for those flying lights in Perching Phoenix City had identified Wei Suo's fleeing orientation. They soared in simultaneously like meteorites catching a moon.

A couple dozen of flying lights in mid-air pursuing a single streak of white light. It was indeed a splendid sight to behold.

"Wakao!"

Wei Suo glanced backwards and quickly stored his White Jade Crane with an exceedingly sullen expression. A firecloud was conjured beneath his feet as he activated his Firecloud Flying Skill.

Flying artifacts were pretty rare and Wei Suo considered himself as freaking impressive amongst the loose cultivators of Spirit Peak City. However, he noticed that amongst the cultivators pursuing him, more than half of them possessed flying artifacts better than the White Jade Crane. If he didn't summon the speedier firecloud, they would catch up to him within half an incense worth of time.

Concurrently, the unpleasant looking Wei Suo fished out seven sealed Black Drillworm ruby globes.

After a brief hesitation, he stored back three and immediately incinerated the four other ruby globes with his Xiantian True Flames. He then hurled the four ruby globes behind.

Wei Suo initially wanted to release all 7 remaining ruby globes to hinder the pursuing cultivators. Instead, he felt reluctant due to their surprising effectiveness, and decided to keep three in the end.

Wei Suo continued fleeing with all his might after tossing out the ruby globes.

As expected, the group of cultivators instantly segregated into a chaotic mess, calling out various skill techniques and artifacts that spiralled into a bombarding mess.

Some of the cultivators' flying light was extinguished and they fell from the sky.

Despite that, Wei Suo's expression remained exceedingly ugly.

Three flying lights with velocities superior to his firecloud weren't affected by the Black Drillworms at all. They were not even a km away from Wei Suo now.

"Mommy!" Wei Suo gritted his teeth helplessly and retrieved a talisman that glinted with a blood light. He then quickly channeled his true energy in.

The blood light instantly intensified throughout the talisman and first encapsulated Wei Suo with a blood red light screen. Following that, countless blood mists lingered around Wei Suo's skin and seemed to be sucked into the blood light screen unceasingly.

Eventually, the blood light screen flashed with a fiery brilliance. Wei Suo then dispelled his firecloud but on the contrary, his flying speed amplified by several folds.

He transformed into a blood light that sped through the sky with a speed indiscernible by the naked eye, pulling the gap between the 3 pursuing flying lights behind further and further.

"Blood Flight Talisman!"

Of the three pursuing cultivators, one was a middle-aged violet robe cultivator, one a yellow robed elder and one a grey robed youth with a grave and stern countenance.

The violet robed middle-age cultivator was riding a wooden fishboat like flying artifact. His appearance was straight and dignified and emanated a thick fire spirit energy from his body. Evidently, he was an innate Fire Spirit Root cultivator.

The elder displayed skinny features but a pair of ominously glinting eyes. His brows were yellow and incredibly peculiar. He was using an unknown skill technique to fly, that were two yellow streaks beneath his feet that soared with shocking ferocity.

The last grey robed youth flew with a white flying sword. He was astoundingly a pract.i.tioner that grasped a sword controlling skill.

When the three cultivators observed their target dispelling the firecloud and transforming into a blood light, their expressions sank.

"What should we do?" While the grey robed youth called out 'Blood Flight Talisman', the violet robed cultivator asked the nearby yellow-brow elder with shock. "Old Ancestor Zhang, we definitely can't chase up to his speed."

"He is merely a Heavenly Circuit Stage cultivator and cannot sustain for long even if he employs a genuine Blood Flight technique." His twin yellow brows straightened as the elder revealed a murderous intent. "If we can't take care of him after causing such a tremendous commotion in Perching Phoenix City, the city will become a laughing stock once word gets out. Many cultivators will despise us as weaklings who can't even guard the safety of a city. The spiritual stones profit of our houses will undoubtedly plunge. Therefore, we must arrest the culprit today. Clan Lord Liu, this matter concerns the fate of everyone, I implore Clan Lord Liu to offer a Heaven's Path Pellet to me, so I can kill that cultivator."

"We can only resort to this…" The violet-robe middle-aged cultivator reload an aching countenance but gritted his teeth and produced an archaic wooden container for the yellow-brow elder. He then added.

"This pellet is exceptionally precious, I hope Old Ancestor will take circ.u.mstances into account when allocating his possessions after settling him."

"Naturally." The yellow-brow elder nodded and opened the archaic grey wooden container. A mystifying golden pellet exuberated out a brilliance.

Without saying much, the yellow-brow elder swallowed the pellet under the aching gaze of the violet robed cultivator.

In a flash, the yellow-brow elder's body fluctuated with golden brilliance as his entire speed increased by several folds. He similarly transformed into a golden light amidst the darkness of night.

"What's going on? How did his speed suddenly accelerate so rapidly?"

Upon glancing back occasionally, Wei Suo naturally noticed a shocking golden light blasting in.

"Wrapped in golden brilliance, could it be a divine light flyer? Not right, he increased his true energy power with a Heaven's Path Pellet! Wei Suo, speed up, if he chases up within an incense worth of time, you'll be dead meat!" The green gowned Old Man first murmured suspiciously but quickly reacted, and shrieked in great dismay.

"Heaven's Path Pellet? What kind of pellet medicine is that?"

"An Earth grade pellet medicine of the ancient Heavenly Law Alliance. It can swiftly boost one's true energy strength for an incense worth of time! If you consume this pellet medicine with your current cultivation, even if your cultivation stagnates, your true energy strength will immediately ascend to the realm of a Thought Division Stage level 1 cultivator!" The Old Man quickly explained. "That person is clearly a Thought Division Stage cultivator, with that pellet medicine, his strength will at least be at the Thought Division Stage level 3. You absolutely aren't his match! Quick, escape! Even if he still catches up after an incense worth of time, it'll be better than facing him at his current state!"

"I don't want to be caught either!" Wei Suo observed the blood light screen around him with a teary countenance.

At present, he had indeed activated the Blood Evading Talisman he acquired from the old freaks back in Sky Valley. Upon activation, his speed will equal a Blood Flight artifact but required a huge amount of blood energy to activate it everytime. It was equivalent to extracting a huge bowl of blood from his body. Due to him losing so much blood, Wei Suo's complexion had turned pale.
