Chapter 213 My Master is the King of Thieves
Chapter 213 My Master is the King of Thieves
Outside Qiantang City.
With the opening of the secret realm, all conflicts temporarily ceased. Even the Qinglin Guards who arrived to provide support could only frown and bypass the White Lotus Sect's territory to enter Qiantang City.
Since Jingyuezhai has already spoken, neither side can fight anymore; this is an ironclad rule.
Behind the mountains where the secret realm was located, a group of men dressed as thieves in black descended from the trees and gathered together.
Everyone was masked and looked respectfully at the tall, thin old man at the front.
"Master, the secret realm has opened, and your disciples are all ready!"
The old man curled his lip and said coldly, "After searching for so long, almost scouring the entire world, and losing more than a dozen disciples in the process, this place is my last hope."
The old man let out a long breath, his eyes filled with resentment.
"I am fifty percent certain that the half of the jade pendant is inside Lingyin Temple. You should all keep your eyes peeled."
"Yes! Master!"
Everyone answered in unison.
After pondering for a moment, the old man said, "I promised that as long as you find the jade pendant, I will pass on the supreme martial arts to you. You have followed me for a long time, and you should all understand the importance of this. Think about what happened to Fan Shanyue, and don't make a mistake for yourselves."
Upon hearing this, all the disciples broke out in a cold sweat.
Thinking of their junior brother, Fan Shanyue, they all felt fortunate.
Originally, Fan Shanyue betrayed her sect and secretly ran away to become a flower thief, which meant that her master would catch her and skin her alive.
Before they could even arrest him, the guy died at the hands of a government lackey; he was lucky.
The Master's words are a warning to them not to have any inappropriate thoughts.
The apprentices lowered their heads and dared not speak.
The old man sneered, "My senior brother went in too. That old bastard lowered his cultivation for his granddaughter, so he's nothing to fear. But if I see him, I'll have to tell my master the news."
"Understood, we will definitely keep a close eye on our senior's movements."
"Alright, my good disciples, prepare to enter the secret realm!"
The old man waved his hand, unleashing a wondrous martial art, and immediately a dark gap appeared in the large tree in front of him.
Immediately afterward, with a thought, he stepped out with the perfected Shadow Step and instantly flashed into the rift.
The disciples behind him followed suit, all using the Shadow Step to enter one by one.
……
Ye Kang naturally had no idea.
The true inheritors of the Shadow Step technique are the thieves who sneaked into the secret realm.
He was frantically building a memory palace in his mind at that moment.
The map in his mind would disappear in three days, so he had to find the first crack while memorizing all the maps.
Fortunately, Ye Kang was already a Xiantian martial artist, and the innate energy continuously strengthened his body, greatly enhancing his memory.
Especially at the bottom of the Poyang Lake, the hundred or so fish treasures of the Flood Dragon King greatly enhanced his spiritual power.
At this point, memorizing a map is not difficult.
"I remember most of it, which is probably enough. This secret realm is indeed something special. Not only is the area huge, but the treasure locations are also scattered everywhere. The map provided by the system has all the treasure and demon markers, giving us an advantage over others."
Ye Kang muttered to himself as he walked into a canyon. There were no spatial rifts here, but it was located halfway through the journey and happened to have a treasure marker. Why not take advantage of it?
He fully unleashed his senses and slowly walked into the depths of the canyon. Soon, he sensed two figures.
A White Lotus Sect member at the seventh rank of the Innate Realm, with golden lotus leaves tattooed on his sleeves, was likely a second-generation young master of the White Lotus Sect, indicating a high status.
He was sitting on a huge wild boar, laughing wildly, his hands gripping the boar's tusks, directing it to charge forward.
And coincidentally, the one being chased was none other than Dai Huanhuan, who was disguised as a man.
Ye Kang's lips curled into a smile, greatly surprised.
"Is this guy really that unlucky? He got a hellish start right from the beginning?"
A top-tier expert facing a seventh-grade innate cultivator who looks psychologically disturbed is bound to be in hell.
The two must have met as soon as they were teleported, which is incredibly unlucky.
Dai Huanhuan was indeed pale and drenched in sweat, with no chance of escaping whatsoever.
With a light touch of her toes, she deftly dodged the wild boar's charge once again.
The White Lotus sect member immediately beamed with joy.
"Awesome! Let's do it again, hahaha!"
He released his true energy, directly suppressing Dai Huanhuan.
"I never thought I'd be so lucky, running into the easiest target. Don't worry, I won't let you die until I've had my fill of playing with you!"
"Damn it! My master is the King of Thieves! Don't push me!"
Dai Huanhuan roared in a male voice.
The White Lotus followers immediately clapped their hands with joy.
"King of Thieves? What King of Thieves? The King of Thieves, hahaha! Do you know who I am? I am the son of the Dharma Protector, I can do whatever I want! Big pig, go, kill him!"
He tightened his grip, and the wild boar, in pain, turned bloodshot and charged at Dai Huanhuan almost frantically.
At the critical moment, Dai Huanhuan suddenly opened her mouth, and a mysterious gas shot out, blasting into the wild boar's head and easily passing through it, before piercing the heart of the White Lotus sect member.
The White Lotus cultist stared wide-eyed in disbelief as his life force rapidly drained away. Before he could react, he was blasted away by the gas, and his consciousness vanished.
Kill instantly with one hit!
Ye Kang, who was about to make a move, also stopped in his tracks, staring at Dai Huanhuan in astonishment.
This guy had a killer move hidden all along!
No wonder they dared to venture into the secret realm; this was completely unexpected.
Indeed, no one could have imagined that a martial artist who was not even at the Innate Realm could instantly kill a seventh-rank Innate Realm cultivator; it was simply unbelievable.
However, there was a price to pay. After exhaling that breath, Dai Huanhuan collapsed to the ground, completely exhausted.
Just then, Ye Kang's footsteps sounded behind her. She froze, feeling as if she was doomed.
"Who is this great hero? My master is the King of Thieves, and he is nearby. Please, fellow Daoist..."
"Girl, stop pretending."
Ye Kang spoke with a smile.
Dai Huanhuan was stunned.
"That voice sounds so much like a corrupt official..."
"The corrupt official you're talking about, could it be me?"
Ye Kang lowered his head and looked at Dai Huanhuan, who was lying flat on the ground.
The Thousand Illusions of the Spirit Butterfly had been dispelled, and Ye Kang's face made Dai Huanhuan gape in astonishment.
"why you!"
A huge shadow loomed over her, and Dai Huanhuan almost burst into tears. She desperately wanted to escape, but having just used her ultimate move, she couldn't move an inch.
The good news is that they're not from the White Lotus Sect, so they don't have to die for now.
The bad news is, he's a corrupt official who catches thieves!
"Lord Ye, please let me explain. I didn't actually want to escape. My master forced me to leave. It has nothing to do with me!"
"Good heavens, you betrayed your master without the slightest hesitation."
"Your Honor, please see the truth! I've been obediently staying in the death row for months, I really had no intention of running away!"
"But you've already escaped from prison, haven't you? Dai Huanhuan, I have the right to arrest you. For all your crimes, you should be executed in the autumn!"
