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 massive 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 Class 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 passage 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 balls.

“What the hell are these black bugs?!”

The might of their artifacts were clearly Half-Spirit Class 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 balls 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 participated 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 massacre the Black Drillworms with bloodlusted frenzy.

……

Under normal circumstances, 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 Wang Tong, the assistant 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 Wang Tong. Without thinking much, Wei Suo knew the Jin cultivators had captured Wang Tong after realizing they had fallen for the trap where Wang Tong had replaced Wei Suo to visit Tealstare Cliff.

Back in Jin Villa where he spotted the captured Wang 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 Wang Tong since he possessed no special relations with Wang Tong; he merely paid him some spiritual stones to guide him around town.

Nevertheless, after hesitating a brief while, Wei Suo still sneakily assaulted the Jin Villa cultivator and rescued Wang Tong.

After all, he was the one that implicated Wang 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 Wang Tong. Wei Suo then examined and realized Wang 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 Wang Tong unconscious.

To avoid the pursuing Jin cultivators, Wei Suo definitely wasted more time he originally planned to stealthily escort Wang 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 assault 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!
