284 People Seething with Anger at Aya Are Everywhere (1/2)
Two amazingly spirited steeds of nightmarish beast pulled a sleek, luxurious carriage, moving along the smooth, clean road outside Deep Earth City straight towards the largest trade capital of the Eastern Kingdom.
Despite the vastness of Eastern Kingdom, the nightmarish beast could run like they were flying. Before half a day, they would pass through a thousand miles distance to arrive at the capital city. At the scheduled time, the people inside the carriage would make their final preparation towards the famous historical remain on the Western Continent.
Generally speaking, even though the eastern part of the Western Continent was relatively affluent, such a vehicle was rarely seen. The two nightmarish steed that pulled the carriage were extraordinary, and the carriage on top of the wheels that vaguely emitted thunder and lightning even more expressed the extraordinary life of its Master. Usually, only the Master of such large cities could have such a carriage. Despite the fact that the carriage traveled lightly, without any escort, even when moving through the wilderness, few people dared to intercept it.
The eastern part of Western Continent, with its rich resource and booming trade, was much better than the western part, and thus, the crackdown on crime was even more severe. In particular, the administrator of each city was close with each other, so once anyone offended any senior or high ranking official, they would be hunted down like rats.
Wang Lu buying the carriage was exactly to avoid trouble.
Nevertheless, perhaps they were doomed to take a few setbacks before success. Shortly after the carriage left the Deep Earth City, they met a gang of robbers.
Since they dared to attack the carriage pulled by the nightmarish beast, the strength of the robbers was naturally extraordinary. Before the passenger inside the carriage could react, the sky suddenly turned blood-red and the open road before them was filled with red mist. However, on mid-air above them, ten shadowy silhouettes quietly floated, occupying a commanding position.
The next moment, lightning flashed and thunder rolled. Red lightning fell from the sky and struck the roof of the carriage. The strange animal statue on the roof was disintegrated and torn apart, while the body of the carriage violently shook.
Inside the compartment, Wang Lu and the others were surprised, the ambush was quick and ruthless! That red lightning had destroyed the protective statue of the carriage, meaning that the power was almost as much as… in Nine Regions term, it would be like a full strike from Jindan Stage Xiao Ming!
Although the carriage was a luxurious vehicle, it was not made for combat. The number of protective statues on the roof was only three and could not be regenerated. Wang Lu looked up and saw that the stormy cloud up in the sky not only did not dissipate, it became denser instead. And after that red lightning strike, light blood red rain began to drop, freely contaminating the surrounding. Even only by visual observation alone, one could see how brilliant this method was.
It was really difficult to imagine that they merely encountered some random robbers.
Wang Lu was inwardly surprised and said, ”Aya, are they also your personal old enemy? How many people have grievances with you in the past that your enemies appear everywhere? Even the sea beast is your enemy!”
Aya, who was also surprised, was tongue-tied upon hearing Wang Lu’s question. Only a while later could she retort, ”It’s not me!”
”It’s exactly you! Don’t quibble with me! If not you, do you think I can have enemies here?”
It was very difficult for Aya to argue. ”But, I don’t know those people!”
”That’s exactly because in the past, you’ve killed their parents, now their children and grandchildren are looking for revenge!”
”This…” Aya was stunned, and then she actually began to earnestly ponder. In those days, when she went on campaigns in four directions, even though it was in the spirit of righteousness, the killings of the innocent could not be avoided, could it be… ah wrong, my country is far away on the west. Who could possibly have such a foresight to travel from afar and set up an ambush here to take revenge on her?
”It’s really not me!”
Seeing that Aya was about to get angry, Wang Lu beckoned with his hand. ”Forget it, it doesn’t matter. In any case, they came here to kill us, so we can’t just stand idly by and be slaughtered. Aya, watch me take care of them.”
While speaking, Wang Lu beckoned Liu Li and the others to get out of the compartment together with him.
At this time, the third statue has been broken by the lightning. The fourth lightning was brewing and might strike them at any time. When Wang Lu opened the carriage door and leaned out, the blood rain immediately dripped on him, and when he took his first step, he felt as if his body suddenly sank; the Void Core in his Jade Mansion violently shook as if it was about to fall apart.
”What?”
At the same time, Liu Li also exclaimed, ”Magical power is a little disobedient!”
”Is this… law suppression?” Aya, as the last one to come out, was the keenest, so she immediately said, ”Through special means, these people use the Western Continent law to suppress you! They are deliberately targeting the cultivators of Nine Regions!”
Aya was indeed worthy to be a former monarch, her reaction was fast and accurate. In just a few words, she has already pointed out the truth. As a matter of fact, this group of robbers indeed specifically targeted the cultivators of Nine Regions.
Just as Aya said these, a person in mid-air exclaimed in surprise. ”Oh? They also have a local with them?”
That person was saying in the common language of the eastern part of the Western Continent. Wang Lu and the others have done their homework, so they understood what he said.
Another person in mid-air commented, ”Humph, so what if they have a local? Since she has come along with these yellow-skinned monkeys, she is obviously not a good thing. Looks like she doesn’t have strength either, so just kill her with the rest.”
”Hehe, this time we catch a big fish. These people are not strong, but they’re rich. We’re definitely going to make a fortune.”
”Killing these yellow-skinned monkeys are indeed a shortcut to get rich. Although their actual strength is good, with this roll of bloodstained scroll, we can unmask and expose them. Hehe, those five hundred magic coins are indeed worth it!”
Upon hearing these few words, Wang Lu could not help but wrinkle his brows.
There were people in the Western Continent who specifically targeted cultivators of Nine Regions? They even developed this kind of bloodstained scroll that used the law on the Western Continent to suppress the Nine Regions cultivators! This kind of suppression did not have any effect on the natives of Western Continent, but very lethal to local people of Nine Regions. Even those Daoist Masters of Jindan Stage who already condensed the main path, once affected by the bloodstained scroll, their heart’s dao would be defenseless and their cultivation base would be washed away.
Perhaps… only those of Yuanying, Deity and above could disregard the law and still display their strength.
However, most of the cultivators from Nine Regions that came to the West were just Jindan. In addition to Feng Yin, within the dream team, the majority of teams formed by various sects, only one or two were Yuanying. If they encountered this kind of bloodstained scroll, most likely that they could not withstand it.
