Chapter 83: Making a Clean Getaway!
Sunx Yuanqing, who betrayed the White Cloud Immortal City, is Elder Sunx.
Once the black-robed figures went inside, he quickly headed toward the station as well.
Having betrayed the White Cloud Immortal City, he definitely won't be able to stay in Xui Country in the future.
The future requires him to escape and go to surrounding Cultivation Countries.Fortunately, he is now at Late-Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivation, considered a formidable expert who can settle down anywhere.
However, leaving a place like White Cloud Immortal City without Master White Cloud as his backing means his future will be bleak.
The present plan is to procure more treasures before leaving.
Currently, those black-robed figures are going to deal with his senior brother, Master Yufeng.
Therefore, within the station, the only ones with cultivation surpassing his are the leaders of the three teams from White Cloud Immortal City.
Aside from them, no one is a match for him.
This is the perfect time for him to act.
Since joining the White Cloud Immortal City, he has not engaged in such Tribulation Cultivator activities; now, he must return to them.
...
At Jin Zhiren's Cave Mansion.
At this moment, Jin Zhiren was cultivating in his Cave Mansion when suddenly a Sound Transmission Talisman appeared, landing before him.
Upon opening it, it was the station leader, Elder Sunx Yuanqing, visiting.
He immediately halted his cultivation, went to the door, and welcomed Sunx Yuanqing inside!
"Elder Sunx, your esteemed arrival is an honor; I apologize for not welcoming you from afar. It's a faux pas on my part!" Jin Zhiren said politely.
"Daoist Jin, you're too kind!"
Sunx Yuanqing smiled, but that smile seemed odd.
Jin Zhiren didn't think much of it and inquired:
"Why has Elder Sunx visited so late at night? Is there something urgent?"
"Brother Jin is right; I have come to..." At this point, Sunx Yuanqing smiled mystically,
"...borrow the use of your Storage Bag, Daoist!"
"What?" Jin Zhiren hadn't reacted yet.
Sunx Yuanqing didn't plan to make small talk.
Just as his mouth opened, a golden flash flew out, which was a Top-Grade Attack Artifact—Hidden Golden Needle. This treasure is extremely small, inherently has concealment properties, and is an excellent treasure for surprise attacks.
The incident happened suddenly, Jin Zhiren had no time to react, only seeing the golden flash growing larger, then he lost consciousness.
The Hidden Golden Needle pierced directly through Jin Zhiren's forehead, instantly killing him.
Sunx Yuanqing coldly smiled, extended his hand to retrieve the Storage Bag from Jin Zhiren's waist.
After a brief check, he showed a satisfied expression.
"It's your fault for acquiring a High-Grade Bloodline Flying Demon Beast Cub!"
Then he kicked Jin Zhiren's corpse into the inner room and went straight out the door.
Next, he headed to another location.
As the station leader, he naturally had very well-informed sources.
Thus, he selected cultivators who had significant gains from this Golden Cloud Valley treasure hunt.
Within moments, he arrived at the next Cave Mansion—Shi Jingwu's residence.
Seeing the Sound Transmission Talisman fly in, Shi Jingwu was puzzled; who would visit so late?
Opening it, it turned out to be Sunx Yuanqing!
As Master White Cloud's disciple, by seniority, he should call Sunx Yuanqing "Uncle Master."
Moreover, with his Late-Stage cultivation, he held an esteemed position within White Cloud Immortal City.
Naturally, not daring to be negligent, he promptly went to the door to greet him.
"Jingwu pays respects to Uncle Master!" Lv Jingwu showed full respect, entirely different from his arrogance in front of Zhou Xun.
Sunx Yuanqing was expressionless, waved his hand, indicating to speak inside.
Once inside the reception hall, Lv Jingwu asked the purpose of the visit:
"Uncle Master, why do you come here empty-handed?"
"Why, I can't visit for no reason?" Sunx Yuanqing pulled a stern face.
"Uncle Master can come anytime!" Lv Jingwu quickly bowed.
Just as he bowed in submission, a golden light flew from Sunx Yuanqing's mouth, directed at Lv Jingwu.
"Ding—"
A crisp metallic collision sound resonated.
A golden shield suddenly rose around Lv Jingwu's body, then appeared with cracks.
"Uncle Master...you!"
Hit by this, Lv Jingwu was first stunned, followed by shock and anger:
"Not short on treasures!" Sunx Yuanqing sneered, controlling the Golden Needle to continue attacking Lv Jingwu.
"Uncle Master, this is the station, Master Yufeng is not far!"
With a second strike from the Golden Needle, Lv Jingwu's shield shattered directly, he was shocked and terrified, loudly shouting in panic and urgency.
"Why does Uncle Master treat me this way?"
"Those two Quasi-Third Tier Spirit Medicines are in your possession, right? Yean Lei wouldn't have imagined, this trip made the wedding dress for you!"
"Uncle Master, spare me, I am willing to offer those two Spirit Medicines!"
"Too late!"
Sunx Yuanqing's tone was indifferent.
The golden light transformed into a shadow for the third time, directly penetrating Lv Jingwu's head, instantly killing him.
At this moment, a shocking event occurred, followed by Master Yufeng's furious roar.
Sunx Yuanqing naturally knew it was the black-robed figures striking.
"Not much time left, I must leave quickly!"
Then, without hesitation, he removed Lv Jingwu's Storage Bag, not even checking, hung it on his waist.
Continued to the next place!
Repeatedly, using his identity as Master White Cloud's disciple and station leader, he ambushed two more Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
Collected numerous treasures,
then soared into the sky, speeding toward a place far from White Cloud Immortal City.
...
Zhou Xun flew into the sky, activated the Heaven-Escaping Talisman, his speed was incredibly fast, comparable to Master Fake Pill.
Once three thousand miles away from the station, feeling no pursuers, he put away the Heaven-Escaping Talisman, switched to the Cyan Light Shuttle, flew at a normal speed.
Continued the flying escape for several thousand miles, found a valley to land.
Using the Heaven-Escaping Talisman consumes a lot of mana.
Besides, this place is far from the station, nearly no one can find him, thus stopped to sit and adjust.
Three hours later, Zhou Xun's mana was restored to a state of perfection.
Only then did he leisurely recall last night's events.
Upon reflection, it was truly extremely perilous.
The clash of Fake Pill Cultivators, the might of it frightened him.
The tragic scene within a thousand feet surrounding Master Yufeng, he saw clearly.
Originally erecting more than ten Cave Mansions, all turned into dust.
Only a few cultivators survived.
After that, he also saw several people in black cloaks pursuing station cultivators.
If he hadn't been on the periphery, he might have been entangled by those black-robed figures.
"I wonder how Erniu is!"
Yesterday the incident broke out suddenly, he had already lost track of Wang Erniu!
However, it's apparent that group was aiming at the core individuals of the White Cloud Immortal City, nobody cared about them as outer Honored Guest Elders.
Wang Erniu's existence as a Qi Refining Cultivator is even less noticeable.
Even if targeted, his cultivation won't be too formidable, at most Early-Stage Foundation Establishment.
With Wang Erniu's Sword Cultivator identity, even if he couldn't defeat, escaping wouldn't be a problem, especially since he also held the Wind-Controlling Talisman that has been nurtured for a year.
"Never thought, exploring the Secret Realm for treasures could be so dangerous!" Zhou Xun sighed.
Just as Zhou Xun sighed, a spiritual pressure suddenly approached.
"Oh, isn't this Alchemist Zhou? You managed to escape as well!" The newcomer had a bright smile, none other than Elder Sunx Yuanqing.
