Chapter 333: Teleported! Now What? (1/2)
RUMBLE
[YOU HAVE VIOLATED THE RULES, THIEF!! YOU SHALL BE PUNISHED BY THE EMISSARIES OF LIU CLAN!]
As Miaomiao began storing items in the vault in his spatial rings and his system inventory, the vault guardian's thunderous voice echoed in the enclosed space, and the exit portal was closed.
Everything went according to plan. The guardian trapped Miaomiao inside this space. Now, he had to battle against time.
Miaomiao had been prepared - He had already gathered everything in one place before he started storing items in his spatial rings. The looting took only 5 seconds to complete.
However, five seconds were enough for the vault guardian to summon strange spirits into the vault.
A hundred semi-transparent wraiths entered the vault and rushed Miaomiao!
Calmly, Miaomiao took out OG-Buddha's teleportation talisman and tore it. At the same time, he paid Dion 5,000 luck points, aka plot armor points, to limit his teleportation destination to the Aves Continent of Heavenly Goose Planet.
His body faded to nothingness before the wraiths got to him. Still, he had officially offended the Liu Clan.
[I HAVE REMEMBERED YOUR FACE, THIEF!! YOU SHALL BE HUNTED DOWN NO MATTER WHERE YOU GO!!]
The vault guardian immediately relayed the record of recent events to every Liu Clan member in the Aves Continent and the Holy Land Continent. Soon, more people would learn about Miaomiao's existence, his deed, and the wealth that he had taken.
Soon, Liu's greedy clansmen would learn about this incident.
…
By the time that Miaomiao reopened his eyes again, he found himself laying on a riverbank. The ground, made of small black rocks and dark soil, reeked the smell of fresh sea fishes. Faint strands of water element Qi were in the area, but it was as polluted as the Qi from Blood Sea.
Miaomiao stood up and scanned his surroundings.
The river was unusually wide and long as if it was a main river on the continent. From a brief estimation, the other side of the shore should be about one or two kilometers away.
The river water was transparent and clear, and small fishes could be seen in the river. Still, the appearance of this serene river contradicted with the polluted water element Qi around here.
Something was wrong with the river, and Miaomiao didn't want to pry into it since he might awaken a hidden monster around here. Again, he was not a fate-changing protagonist that could defeat every adversary with his absolute luck and plot armor. Miaomiao kept reminding himself that he could be killed by a common mob had he been careless.
Miaomiao turned away from the river bank. Behind him, a dark meadow with black grass, dark trees, and black sheep with unicorn horns was everywhere.
The animals were moving in a large horde of over 1,000 sheep. Each of them had the cultivation base of 6th-stage, and their dark eyes didn't hide their killing intent as they stared at Miaomiao.
He kept his distance from the weird beasts, trying not to provoke them. Only when he showed respect to the sheep, the beasts ignored him and returned their attention to the rich black grass.
Miaomiao heaved a sigh of relief after the sheep ignored him. He walked away from the beast horde and the river to secure a safer place to rest and plan his next moves.
After walking a kilometer away from the beast horde and the riverbank, Miaomiao found a four-lane stone road, paved with stone bricks.
Seeing the road, Miaomiao felt a lot safer. He sat at the side of the road and looked at his system menu.
”Dion. Where am I?”
Ding
[Scanning…]
[You are currently on Aves Continent, 9,000km southwest of Siren City.]
It was double the distance between LA to New York. It felt like he needed to fly half of the world to get home.
”T-That's… quite a distance. By the way, what is this place?”
[From the database that I got from the devil, this place is in the Jiangdong Province, aka the most southeast of Aves Continent. It's the second most prosperous region in the southern area, and it is under the jurisdiction of the Sun Clan.]
”Jiangdong Province? Sun Clan?”
Miaomiao's face was solemn as he recalled a certain sect and a famous family. He recited the name of a historical warlord.
”Sun Jian… Sun Wentai.”
In Miaomiao's world, Sun Jian was the father of Sun Ce and Sun Quan, who became famous during the late Eastern Han Period and the Three Kingdoms Period in China. He was nicknamed the Tiger of Jiangdong because of his fierceness in battle.
Sun Jian's counterpart in this world, Sun Wentai, was the sect master of Jiangdong White Tiger Sect. If Miaomiao remembered correctly, he heard that the eldest son of Sun Wentai was called [Sun Bofu], which was the same as Sun Ce's style name.
Since getting entangled with this clan might spell complications, Miaomiao stood up and psyched himself, preparing his mind for the long flight home to leave this place.
As Miaomiao was about to take flight, shadows of a massive flock of griffins, colossus hawks, ferry ships, and flying battleships covered the sky as they flew past him.
Miaomiao looked up to see what above him was. Then, he saw the fleet of battleships and flying beasts, heading from west to east.
It was odd. As Miaomiao had discovered about Yuan Shaoqing's movements, he knew that the Sun Clan would join Yuan Shaoqing in this coalition against Siren City. They should have gathered their forces and flown northwest, but they traveled east.
Interested in this movement, Miaomiao wrote a note to Wei Yuan and allocated important items from his spatial rings to system inventory, giving his wife more homework to do.
As soon as Miaomiao finished sorting a portion of his items, he followed the warships to the east.
…
Flying at a low altitude for 10 minutes, Miaomiao reached a gathering place for battleships and tamed beasts.
The wide black meadow had been transformed into a parking lot for cultivators. Various families and rich merchants flaunted their family banners to compare their wealth with the others.
20 wooden medieval carracks, five steel battle cruisers, 500 ferry yachts, thousands of winged beasts, and 100 giant hawks captured this field, but they kept their distance away from other clans and organizations. Many youngsters left the parking lot with their guardians and walked further north while many strong cultivators stayed behind to guard their ships and beasts.
The sight reminded Miaomiao of Xuan City's auction. Although he hadn't seen the parking lot when many powerful experts had arrived, he heard that the gathering was chaotic. After seeing the real thing, Miaomiao could imagine how Xu Lanying and the Sun Clan tried to mess with each other at that place.
Since it was too dangerous for Miaomiao to get closer, he followed the crowd and headed north, wondering where they were going.
After walking two kilometers north, Miaomiao finally saw a city.
The 20-meter-tall brick walls stretched several kilometers, covering the entire horizon from Miaomiao's point of view. Many archer towers had been built on top of the walls, and red energy fences formed another layer of wall array, covering 100 meters in height.
Behind the tall walls, a thousand soldiers in metal armor carried their longbows as if they were ready to shoot something in the sky. None of them hid their element Qi, showing their cultivation of the foundation establishment realm.
Although it was a city, the defensive arrays and their sentries were tight. Miaomiao doubted that anyone could fly over this city without being shot down by the sentry guards in the archer towers or on the walls.
Being cautious of this city wall and its defense, Miaomiao stood still, watching the crowd of people flocking toward the city entrance.
More people arrived after Miaomiao had stopped walking. They were the people from the parking lots, who had finished securing their parking site. They ignored Miaomiao and continued to enter the city.
Miaomiao had the urge to enter the city as well, but he recalled that there was something more important to do. He turned around to leave.
”Excuse me, you there.”
As Miaomiao was about to walk away, a half-naked young man in crimson pants and a red bandana approached him. He seemed to be younger and shorter than Miaomiao, but his cultivation base was at the same level.
