Chapter 851: Robbing on the Way
Qin Wushuang deliberately lingered for two days at the Dark Mysterious City to attract all different attention. Bao Bao and the two other divine beast left with Yang Yi first.
After three days, after he verified that Bao Bao and the others were already a few hundred thousand miles away, Qin Wushuang began to move at a leisurely pace. Without having to worry about his rear, he was free of any burdens.
Regardless if it was the Dark Mysterious Clan or the Heavenly Mountain Sect, Qin Wushuang would not provoke them, nor fear them. The paramount elite warriors of the Dark Mysterious Clan was still fighting a fervent battle at the Endless Eastern Sea with the Golden Crow.
In this Extreme North Snow Zone, besides the totem paramount elite warriors, there were none that existed to make Qin Wushuang utterly irresistible.
Initially, Xuan Yuan Wei of the Xuan Yuan Mound, being a third-tier elite warrior of the Xuan Yuan Clan, Qin Wushuang was also fearless and acting neither servile nor overbearing.
Since Qin Wushuang’s strength improved more, naturally his confidence followed trend.
For the totem elite warrior, in terms of strength or status, he was far inferior to Xuan Yuan Wei. Qin Wushuang also had his confidence.
When he did not provoke the matter, it did not mean he was not a figure that feared trouble.
After he left the Dark Mysterious City, in less than thirty thousand miles, Qin Wushuang felt a few powerful figures following behind him.
These figures had almost all appeared at the Dark Mysterious Assembly: they were elite warriors of each of the Extreme North Snow Zone major sects.
If Qin Wushuang didn’t have the Observant Finger Jade Plate, it would be difficult to stay on guard.
At a small town that was a thousand miles away from Qin Wushuang, a few elite warriors stood next to Ling Sheng. They were all Transformation Supreme Dao elite warriors.
These elite warriors were at least at the strength of the Fourth Calamity of the Transformation Supreme Dao Stage. In the Extreme North Snow Zone, they were all major heads that could intimidate the area in the Extreme North Snow Zone. Yet, Ling Sheng was the great butler of the Extreme North Snow Zone, on par with the Heavenly Emperor of the Xuan Yuan Mound as he possessed strong summoning power. Naturally, these people followed him.
“Everyone, this Xing He comes from a mysterious background, I am sure everyone is well aware of the abundant capital he had during the pageant. If we can capture this person and accuse him of stealing the Dark Mysterious Ice Soul and Blue Wave Water Pool, we can seize his treasures. The Dark Mysterious Clan will get forty percent, I get twenty percent, and you will get ten percent. Any objections?”
Besides Ling Sheng, there were four other elite warriors, naturally they would not hesitate as they nodded to agree with this distribution plan.
It would be nice for them to get ten percent. This was planned by Ling Sheng. With the totem elite warriors inspired, they were all just chess pieces to execute his plan. They will get ten percent by exerting some effort, why would they not be happy?
“Head Chief Ling, just tell us how to fight this battle you’ve arranged.”
“Yes, we will all listen to Head Chief Ling.”
Ling Sheng did not hold back as he nodded. “Alright, then I will not be courteous. That guy is powerful, it’s clearly inappropriate to have everyone act as the vanguard. I will be the vanguard, you lot will form a siege from all four directions to corner him. As we move ahead and back together with joined hands, certainly, we will take this person down.”
“Alright, with this arrangement, indeed it’s an inescapable net. Although that kid has some power, can he fly to the sky?”
“Let’s do it and take him out! This kid dared to act unbridled at our Dark Mysterious City? He is truly bold.”
After these five finished discussing, under Ling Sheng’s leadership, they galloped towards Qin Wushuang’s direction.
Initially, this Ling Sheng chose to restrain himself. When his son suffered before the opponent, he chose to restrain himself in secret. This was not because he has self-restraint, but because he refrained from shooting at the rat for fear of breaking the vase. He did not dare to act recklessly in the fear of destroying the important matters with the Dark Mysterious Assembly. Now with the assembly over, the Heavenly Mountain Sect was finished with their task.
Upon thinking of Qin Wushuang’s extravagant spending, he could speculate with his toes that this person must carry many treasures. Or else, it was impossible for him to unleash such great spending.
For a mere Green Wood Divine Cauldron, he would never exchange a Transformation Supreme Dao weapon for it.
Such extravagant spending deeply stimulated Ling Sheng.
Like five rainbows, five figures flashed across the sky to suppress the mountain valley where Qin Wushuang resided.
Ling Sheng called out, “Look at the Great Goblet Valley ahead of us, that kid is there. Surely he intends to craft the Dark Mysterious Ice Soul and Blue Wave Water Pool, to refine the Supreme Dao essence of the water attribute. Everyone will flock around the valley and first trap him. Remember, you must stick to your tongue that this person is the thief that stole the Dark Mysterious Ice Soul and Blue Wave Water Pool. We are catching the thief and not robbing his goods, understand?”
Even if they were to be great bandits, they must decorate themselves. After all, they were the elite warriors of a Forbidden Spiritual Zone. If the word got out that they were bandits, it would damage their reputation.
Being bandits, they would have no morality. With devotion to righteousness that inspired reverence, it would allow them to have a smooth robbing when they were in the right and self-confident. They understood this principle.
All of them nodded in response.
Ling Sheng gushed out a breath of genuine spiritual Qi and his voice sounded like a great clock, “Thief Xing He, I know you are here, hurry and come out! Come with us to the Dark Mysterious City and solve this dispute.”
Qin Wushuang was truly at the Great Goblet Valley. Only, he was not training here, but he deliberately chose this place to wait for Ling Sheng’s people.
To his surprise, the totem elite warrior of the Dark Mysterious Clan cherished his wings and did not step out personally. Instead, he sent Ling Sheng, this daring vanguard.
It seemed that Ling Sheng was slightly inferior to Xin Tianwen. However, Qin Wushuang did not intend to look down at him. When one was capable of becoming the major head of one area, even if he was just the butler to the Dark Mysterious Clan, he was not ordinary.
He stood on the slope calmly and unruffled, holding his chest with both arms. He looked at the sky with a cold sneer. “Head Chief Ling Sheng, what are you guys playing at?”
When Ling Sheng saw Qin Wushuang, he gave a cold snort. “Darn you Xing He, our Dark Mysterious City treated you as a guest, but you dared to steal from us? You barge into the holy place and stole the Dark Mysterious Ice Soul and Blue Wave Water Pool… You are so bold. Now the Dark Mysterious Clan is enraged and ordered your capture. Are you going to wait to be captured or be the trapped beast and fight us?”
Qin Wushuang was slightly surprised at this Ling Sheng’s thick skin, as he was able to be in the right and self-confident to such a shameless extent. At least, this Ling Sheng seemed to be much smarter than Xin Tianwen.
Although Xin Tianwen had different ways of doing things, in terms of performance level, he was far inferior to Head Chief Ling Sheng. This one before him was simply full of himself.
If Qin Wushuang was not the main character, upon hearing such righteous tone, most likely he would believe the words of Ling Sheng, as first impressions are the strongest. Look at that Ling Sheng, combined with a prestigious expression, and making a show of being very earnest, how could he look to be pretentious at all?
“Head Chief Ling, what do you mean?” For the time, Qin Wushuang did not understand the way they were playing. He didn’t know whether Ling Sheng was speaking these words as a deliberate excuse or as a misunderstanding.
When he shot onto the face of the other four from the corner of his eye, it appeared their performance technique was far inferior to Ling Sheng’s. Although they worked hard to appear grand and majestic, they still appeared unnatural. Their eyes flickered and made Qin Wushuang realize that this was not a misunderstanding, but a schemed plot. A bandit calling out to catch bandit… What a tactic!
“What do you mean? Xing he, for the dirty deed you have done, you ask me? Do you want us to move or you will collaborate with us? If you know the situation, follow us, we cannot treat you with injustice. Even if you did steal the Dark Mysterious Ice Soul and Blue Wave Water Pool, you can just bow your head on the ground before the elite warriors of the totem clan.”
As Ling Sheng said this, in secret he was mustering murderous intentions. He planned to lash out a vicious move at Qin Wushuang when he was off guard.
Qin Wushuang was already alert, he just never expected this Ling Sheng could be forceful to such an extent. His shamelessness far surpassed his expectations.
Having understood the crucial points, Qin Wushuang was extremely calm. He said with all smiles, “I do have the Dark Mysterious Clan and Blue Wave Water Pool. Head Chief Ling, you came aggressively and carry the banner of the Dark Mysterious Clan. Are you just waving the banner as if it was a tiger skin or do you harbor some private intentions? Under this clear heaven and earth, no matter how much you decorate your little vile deeds, can you conceal it from the smart people?”
Ling Sheng did not blabber as he shouted, “Kid, I will not wear the skin out of your teeth. If you want your hands tied to be captured, don’t blame us for not showing you courtesy.”
Qin Wushuang had an even richer smile. “I want to know very much, just how bold can you be? Ling Tianzhi, your Heavenly Mountain Sect offended me numerous times, it seems I have treated you guys too nicely. Do you believe that I can rush back to the Dark Mysterious City and kill your precious son, Ling Tianzhi.”
This touched Ling Sheng’s weakness. If he were to have anything to worry, it would be Ling Tianzhi, his precious son.
Upon seeing Ling Sheng’s flickering eyes, Qin Wushuang said with ease, “That’s not right, it seems that Ling Tianzhi is not at the Dark Mysterious City, let me think. Right right right, I remember that Ling Tianzhi went to the southwest. He seemed to have gone to a place, not far from here. Ling Sheng, how about let’s compete with our footwork and see who catches up to Ling Tianzhi first?”
Ling Sheng’s insufferably arrogant manner was smashed to crumbs by Qin Wushuang’s words. He felt as if a heavy strike smacked against his chest.
For your information, he sent out Ling Tianzhi and he did go southwest. Now, the path they were taking was truly south.
They were not far from the southwest. At most, it would not be more than a few thousand miles away. At martial artists of their level, this distance was insignificant.
“Head Chief Ling, no need to blabber with this bandit, let’s go up together and kill him. For such bandit, it’s not worth to grieve even if one hundred of them die.”
“Ha ha, Head Chief Ling, you are not as straightforward as your shrimp soldiers. This way, the smart people do not beat the bush. Are you after my Dark Mysterious Ice Soul and Blue Wave Water Pool, or do you want to rob me since you saw me spend extravagantly? If you want to be a bandit, you must be big and stout. By hiding yourself to not be able to speak what you really think, that’s not like the leader of a sect.”
The mocking tone caused Ling Sheng to be unable to restrain himself. With a roll with his hand, he already pulled an ice cold long spear in his hand. With an angry shout, the blue cold light shot out like an icy inescapable net. Countless spear lights congealed into tens and thousands of ice cones and attacked him like a cloud of locusts.
