Chapter 532 Blood Coffin Ancestor
The inventory in the Yujing City branch is more than ten times richer than that in Liuzhou City.
There are hundreds of billions of top-grade spirit stones alone, as well as three ninth-grade materials, twelve eighth-grade materials, and countless pills and magical artifacts.
"We've won! We've really won this time..."
Lu Haoran was so excited that his hands were trembling.
Even the usually calm and composed Xiao Changkong couldn't help but breathe rapidly, his eyes fixed on the mountain of treasures, his Adam's apple bobbing involuntarily.
Qinghe Daoist, meanwhile, vigilantly observed the commotion outside, his brow furrowed, and urged in a deep voice, "Hurry, the aura of a Nascent Soul cultivator is coming!"
Sure enough, just as they were halfway through their looting, two terrifying auras suddenly descended from the sky, like thunderclaps, causing the entire treasure vault to hum.
The newcomers were a Nascent Soul Peak expert and a Divine Transformation Early Stage expert.
"You scoundrel, how dare you!"
The president of the Yujing branch and the second elder of the Wanbaoge headquarters arrived together. Upon seeing the carnage outside the treasure vault, their eyes widened in fury, and their roars shook the very air.
"Kill them!"
The two of them took action at the same time.
The guild leader of Yujing City unleashed a golden seal, which instantly transformed into the size of a mountain and crashed down with immense force, compressing the air and creating a piercing explosion.
The Second Elder, Ling Yun, transformed into a hundred-foot-tall blood wolf, its sharp claws tearing through the void and creating a foul gust of wind as it pounced towards the five people.
Qinghe Daoist snorted coldly, took a step forward, and stood in front of the crowd.
His spiritual energy surged, causing his robes to flutter wildly.
"boom!"
A battle between Nascent Soul level beings suddenly erupted, and the terrifying aftershocks swept out like a tsunami, shaking the entire Jade Capital City violently.
"A Nascent Soul cultivator?!"
Who exactly are you?
Even a Nascent Soul Ancestor would willingly engage in such petty theft?
The second elder flew into a rage, shouting angrily, and with a wave of his wolf claws, streaks of bloody claw wind tore through the sky.
In his mind, Nascent Soul cultivators were the top beings in this world, high above all others. How could they have become bandits who robbed and plundered?
To everyone's surprise, Qinghe Daoist ignored them completely and directly used his spatial magic. The space around him distorted, forming an invisible barrier that firmly restrained the two of them.
He didn't need to kill them; buying Shen Rugo and the others a little more time would be enough.
"More powerful enemies will be arriving soon, hurry!"
Shen Rugo shouted loudly, her hands moving even faster. Spiritual energy flowed from her fingertips, and a rune appeared, pulling the treasures one by one into her storage ring.
Although these two might not be a match for Qinghe Daoren, this is Wanbaoge's territory after all. If they get bogged down here, and Ling Tian arrives with his men, it will be all over.
Finally, amidst the Second Elder's furious rage, the entire treasure vault was looted in less than half an incense stick's time.
"withdraw!"
The four were the first to rush out of the treasure vault.
Zhao Cai spewed out another mouthful of true fire, the golden flames like an inverted Milky Way, forcing the Jade Capital City President and Ling Yun to retreat repeatedly, while Qinghe Daoist took the opportunity to escape.
In the blink of an eye, the five people leaped onto the Myriad Realms Dragon Warship. The warship hummed and transformed into a dazzling starlight, disappearing into the horizon.
"Chase!"
Ling Yun was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood, staining his chest red, and let out a furious roar.
In the blink of an eye, the sky was cloudless, and the Myriad Realms Dragon Warship was nowhere to be seen.
The news quickly spread. After hearing his subordinate's report, Ling Tian coughed up blood for the third time, his face turned ashen, and he swayed, almost collapsing to the ground.
"They even robbed Yujing City?"
"The Star Palace actually has a divine beast, and a supreme divine beast of the fire attribute at that..."
He muttered to himself, a hint of fear finally appearing in his eyes.
From Ling Yun's description, he could tell that the fire-attribute divine beast was definitely of extraordinary origin and was most likely a legendary being.
Those who can subdue divine beasts are either incredibly powerful beings or exceptionally talented individuals with extraordinary luck.
You should know that in this world, divine beasts have disappeared without a trace.
Regardless of which category it falls into, it means that the Star Palace's resources far exceed their imagination.
"President, what should we do now?"
Elder Ling Qing's face was ashen, and his voice trembled, "The looting of Jade Capital City is an extremely heavy loss. Adding the losses from the previous branches, the total losses have already exceeded the combined losses from the looting of the Western and Northern Regions. If we continue looting..."
Ling Tian remained silent for a long time, his fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white. Suddenly, he looked up, a resolute glint in his eyes.
"Please, Ancestor, emerge from seclusion!"
"what?!"
Everyone was shocked and knelt down in unison, their faces filled with horror.
The Wanbao Pavilion also houses an ancestor who has lived for countless years and whose cultivation is unfathomable, reaching the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.
However, this ancestor was nearing the end of his life and had been sleeping in a blood coffin for many years, relying on supreme medicine to prolong his life. Unless he suffered the calamity of his entire family being wiped out, he should not be disturbed easily.
"Alarming the Blood Coffin Ancestor would come at a great cost. If we're not careful, he could be left with nothing but his life force!"
Ling Qing hesitated and tried to dissuade him!
"We can't worry about that now!"
Ling Tian gritted his teeth and growled, his eyes bloodshot, "If we don't call the Ancestor out of seclusion soon, the Myriad Treasures Pavilion will be robbed clean by those thieves! Go, ring the death knell and awaken the Ancestor!"
"Yes……"
Ling Qing trembled as she agreed, then turned and staggered away.
Half an hour later, a deafening bell rang out from deep within the Wanbao Pavilion.
The bell tolled mournfully, like a funeral dirge, instantly spreading for miles around, even causing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to stagnate.
All the Nascent Soul cultivators in the Central Region were alarmed and turned to look in the direction of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion, their faces showing horror.
"It's Death Knell! Wanbaoge is trying to summon that..."
"Could it be that the Blood Coffin Ancestor is about to emerge from seclusion?"
"It seems that Wanbaoge has truly been driven to the brink of despair..."
Under the gaze of countless shocked divine thoughts, deep within the Wanbao Pavilion, a giant blood-red coffin soared into the sky, its body shrouded in dense bloody aura, steadily hovering in mid-air.
The coffin lid slowly opened, and a deathly pressure swept out, making cultivators within a hundred miles feel suffocated.
An old man, as thin as a skeleton, slowly sat up.
He slowly opened his eyes, which had no pupils, only two blazing blood flames, exuding a chilling, predatory aura.
"What has caused you to disturb my slumber...?"
The hoarse voice, like sandpaper rubbing together, carried a chilling stillness, yet it sounded like a thunderclap to everyone's ears.
Ling Tian immediately knelt down, his voice choked with emotion: "Ancestor, the Myriad Treasures Pavilion has suffered a great calamity, and many of its treasure vaults have been looted. Please, Uncle, take action!"
After saying that, he quickly recounted the whole story.
"Idiot! You useless idiot!"
Blood Coffin Ancestor raised his hand and slapped Lingtian Ancestor, sending him flying with a gust of wind. Lingtian Ancestor crashed into a jade pillar in the main hall with a thud.
"It is because I am incompetent that I have failed to manage Wanbaoge well."
But the Star Palace is truly too vicious, and its actions have no bottom line..."
Ling Tian, the old ancestor, struggled to crawl back, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, and screamed hoarsely.
