122 Take Everything (1/2)
Chen Wentian, Wu Qianyu, and Mei Qiaofeng flew at full speed high above the sky, in a full sprint towards Beast God City. Mei Qiaofeng was surprised Chen Wentian could keep up with her pace but she was even more shocked that the ugly flying carriage that Wu Qianyu rode could fly like an immortal! She thought Chen Wentian had been joking when he said his disciple could help during the attack. But, with insane treasures like that, he can do whatever he wanted…
As they got about halfway, Chen Wentian felt the shadow fox soul return to his body after expending all of its energy. He turned to Mei Qiaofeng, ””Jasmine is free, all immortals are at Rich River Province, there should be no problems.”
”Don't look at me. You look ridiculous.” Mei Qiaofeng muttered and drifted a bit farther away from him.
She was referring to his disguise. He didn't want two enraged Spirit Kings chasing him after this and he had completely dyed his hair gray, worn a wig and a fake beard, and put on makeup expertly to look like an overweight seventy-year-old man. Even Wu Qianyu could not recognize him if he didn't tell her.
Chen Wentian muttered to himself in annoyance before turning to Wu Qianyu, ”Qianyu, stay here.”
”Yes master!”
Wu Qianyu obediently pulled her flying carriage to a stop and watched the two of them change altitude and shoot downwards. Tortoise Can Fly would be easily recognizable so she would stay a safe distance way. If it was the original plan where they had to fight five immortals guarding the city, she would have been helpful serving as a distraction since Tortoise Can Fly would protect her against all Spirit Lord attacks. But in this situation, he didn't need to reveal his treasures to his enemies.
Mei Qiaofeng and Chen Wentian descended rapidly through the clouds until Beast God City finally came within their sights. As they approached, they saw spiritual messages being sent off like fireworks. It didn't matter how many were sent, no immortals were going to come and save them for another ten minutes at least.
Once they arrived, they exploded into action.
Mei Qiaofeng transformed her lower body into a gigantic tan and brown skinned python that was every bit as impressive as his Golden Serpent. Her thick and powerful snake body could crush anything that was unfortunate enough to be captured. Her target was the Eagle Lord's castle and she directly crashed through the roof of the main building in a thundering impact. As the dust cleared, her vengeful immortal aura squashed anyone that happened to get too close. She didn't care who died, she just wanted to cause as much destruction as possible.
Chen Wentian concentrated on his own target, the Lion Lord's castle. He did not use his blue flames but instead emitted the sword aura of the Purple Jade Hercules Beetle. He didn't care for too much wanton destruction as he made a direct line towards the secret passageway that Jasmine was in.
”Stop! Intruder!”
”Attack!”
A pack of twenty or so guards at the upper Spirit Initiate Realm tried to block his way. They barely put up a fight with their combined spiritual power before the purple sword energy took away their lives. He met more and more guards as well as elders along the way. From He Xingping's memories, he knew almost everyone in the castle and he didn't care for any of them. He was like a grim reaper as he wiped out anyone that stood in his way.
He flew along until he was in a familiar underground hallway. He saw secret door to the prison tunnel was open so he assumed Jasmine was already out. He didn't see her along the way so she must have gotten lost. Typical… though he didn't worry too much since there was nobody in the city that could challenge her.
He continued down the underground hallway. He stopped as a dozen familiar men appeared, the guards that protected the basement storage room.
”Halt!”
”Who are you?”
When they saw he had no intentions of stopping, they charged at him with swords raised but they were met with a wall of purple blade energy.
”Ahhh!”
Splat!
They all collapsed in a heap and did not get up. He didn't care if they were dead or not and continued, rushing through the doorway, blasting away the executive elder ruthlessly, and entered the storage room. This was his goal. He was finally going to take everything!
He overpowered the protective inscription arrays and sucked up anything he saw into his spatial bag. He didn't care what it was; gold, pills, crystals, weapons, herbs, manuals, nothing was left behind.
Chen Wentian emerged back to the main castle and went around targeting the executive elders. He made sure to visit Ji Yeming first and was glad to see he was still nearby.
”Sir immortal, please spare me!” Ji Yeming cried out when he saw the strange elderly man charge into his office. He prostrated himself on the ground, hoping against hope. But luck was not on his side, he should have fled sooner instead of trying to be a good elder and organize the men.
