Chapter 333: Robbery

With three elders dispatched and a semi-spiritual treasure in hand, this brat surely wouldn’t escape their grasp.

Without saying more, one elder took the staff, and the three figures transformed into streams of light, heading towards the Heaven Demon Sect!

On the spiritual boat, Ji Yang remained unaware of the happenings at the Heaven Demon Sect, yet he had an unsettling premonition.

He couldn’t tell how many people the Heaven Demon Sect would send to hunt him down.

Even Ji Yang, who was usually bold, felt a bit anxious now.

He regretted not planting a mushroom at the Heaven Demon Sect before leaving.

If he had, perhaps the Heaven Demon Sect wouldn’t have had the time to chase after him.

Ultimately, he was just too kind, Ji Yang sighed.

Although the spiritual boat moved fast, Ji Yang had no doubt about the strength of the large sect. He expected that it wouldn’t be long before someone came after him.

He carried the Heaven’s Secret Pearl to conceal his presence, but Ren Yuning next to him was like a living target.

There was definitely a tracking device on her, and he needed to deal with that in advance.

Besides, the Heaven Demon Sect likely guessed his route; high-level cultivators wielded powerful primordial spirit energy with a wide coverage area, making it impossible for him to escape their sight.

Ji Yang pondered carefully how to fish in troubled waters!

“Junior Brother, how far is this route?”

Ren Yuning, feeling a bit bored, asked.

“About a few days to reach!”

Ji Yang replied casually.

Fortunately, Ren Yuning seemed quite curious about everything around them and had no intention of using Transmission for now.

Just as Ji Yang was deep in thought, he furrowed his brow slightly.

Noticing the change, Ren Yuning immediately asked:

“Junior Brother, what’s wrong?”

Ren Yuning followed Ji Yang’s gaze and frowned as well, sensing something unusual ahead.

In their path, a few formations lay hidden and unmoving.

The formations arranged here clearly had ill intentions.

However, Ren Yuning’s furrowed brow soon relaxed; feeling bored on the journey, she found the potential for some excitement instead, slowly decelerating the spiritual boat.

“Senior Sister, don’t you think it’s better to avoid extra trouble? Let’s continue on our way!”

Ji Yang initially thought that it was the people from the Heaven Demon Sect pursuing them, but after spreading out his primordial spirit energy, he realized that the formations ahead were quite ordinary and wouldn’t hinder the spiritual boat. It seemed they were merely robbers, and he didn’t need to waste time here.

Ji Yang’s plan was to bypass the trap ahead and ignore it!

However, seeing Ren Yuning stop, he couldn’t help but urge,

“It’s fine, Junior Brother. This is still the territory of the Heaven Demon Sect. I want to see who dares to misbehave here!”

Ji Yang was speechless; as the daughter of the Sect Leader of the Heaven Demon Sect, was it really appropriate for her to say that?

As the spiritual boat slowly came to a stop, a slender cultivator below the formation, Wang Mazi, gazed at the gradually halting vessel with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

He had been carefree in this area for so long, never expecting to encounter two cultivators today who could see through his formations!

However, for him, the Xuan Turtle Master, this was not a problem at all.

Wang Mazi didn’t rush to exit; instead, he slowly summoned the Spiritual Beast Bag from his waist, revealing a palm-sized turtle in his hand.

As soon as the Xuanwu appeared, it reprimanded him in a displeased tone:

“What do you need me for again? Haven’t I told you? I am sealed by the Immortal, and I need ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine spiritual stones to unseal! Once that’s done, I will have immense power to help you raise your level! Are you asking me to come out now because you’ve collected all the spiritual stones?”

“Not yet, Senior.”

Wang Mazi replied sheepishly.

“Not yet? Then why did you summon me? My powers are sealed and I need time to sleep, so don’t disturb me if there’s nothing urgent! The formations I taught you are enough to help you gather spiritual stones!”

“Please wait, Senior. This time, there was an unexpected situation. I beg you to help me check if those two can break through your formations?”

“Don’t worry. Although I am sealed, this formation is clever. Even though your level isn’t high, as long as you set it up, even cultivators two stages higher may not break it. As long as you are within the formation, you don’t need to worry too much!”

Having said all that, the Xuanwu turned to prepare for sleep.

Hearing these words, Wang Mazi instantly regained his confidence.

However, just as he prepared to put the turtle back into the storage bag, the Xuanwu suddenly opened its eyes and stared at the spiritual boat not far ahead.

On that boat, it seemed to have caught a familiar scent!

This made the Xuanwu’s eyes widen as it sniffed the air again to confirm, displaying a hint of joy.

Finally, it had caught that brat!

Although the aura was well-concealed, it could not escape the senses of a True Spirit!

“Wait! There’s no need for elaborate plans. Just go out and challenge those two directly!”

Wang Mazi, who was initially thinking of using the formation’s power to deal with the spiritual boat, paused, gazing at the luxurious vessel and sensing that the two individuals aboard were at least at the Nascent Soul Stage, revealing a hint of hesitation on his face:

“Should I go out directly?”

The Xuanwu nodded:

“Don’t worry, those two may seem to be at the Nascent Soul Stage, but they are just illusions, not worth worrying about. This spiritual boat is a treasure-grade item, worth quite a few spiritual stones. I’ll take action myself, so you just go!”

“Don’t you want to unseal yourself faster?”

Hearing the Xuanwu’s words, Wang Mazi became extremely excited but still questioned:

“Senior, weren’t you sealed by the Immortal? Can you really take action?”

“Humph! If I say go, then go! Don’t ask so many questions! Just pay attention to what unfolds!”

Hearing the Xuanwu’s earnest words, Wang Mazi felt elated, and his gaze at the spiritual boat changed, almost as if he was looking at his beloved treasure.

A treasure-grade spiritual boat like that could fetch countless spiritual stones.

The most important thing was, he could witness the Xuanwu Senior making a move personally!

What an immense honor!

If he had to wait to gather ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine spiritual stones, that would be quite a while!

With this thought, Wang Mazi no longer hesitated. He immediately leapt out from the formation below, soaring into the sky and blocking the path of Ji Yang and the others in their spiritual boat!

“Stop! This road is closed. If you wish to pass, hand over the spiritual stones on you!”

Wang Mazi stood tall against the wind, his sleeves billowing with a fierce presence and an arrogant expression on his face.

On the spiritual boat, Ji Yang’s expression shifted slightly. If he wasn’t mistaken, things seemed quite close to the truth.

He hadn’t expected to run into that Xuanwu again; he thought he had shaken it off.

However, considering that this Xuanwu had previously helped him, and he hadn’t yet paid the reward, Ji Yang didn’t mind seeing what this cultivator was up to.
