Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws - Chapter 380
Chapter 380: Cloudflow Ores Ransacked, Heading To The Outer Seas, The Sacrificial Ceremony
“Go back and tell Yuan Wudao that I’ll devour his life no matter what! Nobody can save him now!!” Chu Kuangren said in a harsh tone.
One billion soulstones?
Was that a lot?
Aside from the fact that Black Heaven Sect was not lacking in soulstones, one billion soulstones would never make up for the lives of Black Heaven Sect disciples.
“Brother Chu, can’t you spare him some mercy?”
Blackwillow Sage’s expression turned solemn as well.
However, Chu Kuangren did not care at all. He remained seated on his chair and even took a sip of his tea. “That’s all I have to say. Now please, scramble.”
“You! Chu Kuangren, this is too much!”
Blackwillow Sage was incredibly enraged.
“What? You’re a demonic cultivator, and I’ve offered to let you leave this place alive. What do you have to be dissatisfied with?”
Chu Kuangren looked up and said to him.
He never had a good impression of the unknown lands, but he reserved a deeper hatred for a demonic unknown land like Acheron Manor. It was especially amplified since Yuan Wudao was bold enough to instruct the Underworld Palace to poison the Black Heaven Sect disciples.
If not for the fact that the formation had not been set up at the Black Heaven Sect then, rendering them incapable of defending against the unknown lands, he would have drawn his sword and annihilated each one of them.
“I can leave, no problem, but not without Wudao’s Yin and Yang Ring.” Blackwillow Sage tried hard to suppress his anger when he said it.
“Oh, why so adamant about that Yin and Yang Ring?”
Chu Kuangren chuckled and took out a jade amulet. It was the Heavenly Jade Amulet that he looted from Yuan Wudao’s Yin and Yang Ring.
He held it in his hand and toyed with it before he glanced at Blackwillow Sage and said, “Are you concerned for that Yin and Yang Ring, or for this Heavenly Jade Amulet?”
“You know about this jade amulet?” Blackwillow Sage’s expression changed.
This was not possible.
Throughout the ages, any records about Emperors on the outside world should have been all cleared by the unknown lands.
How did Chu Kuangren know about this Heavenly Jade Amulet?
“Why does it matter if I know or don’t know about it? Either way, I’m still keeping this jade amulet,” Chu Kuangren said nonchalantly.
Blackwillow Sage stared deep into Chu Kuangren’s eyes. “Brother Chu, are you not afraid of becoming a public target for being so lawless?”
Chu Kuangren, who was playing with the jade amulet initially, stopped. The atmosphere in the room suddenly became solemn, and even Blackwillow Sage could feel an incredibly oppressive force fill the entire hall. He instantly became more vigilant.
“A public target? Am I not already one?”
“Acheron Manor, would you like to have a go first?”
Blackwillow Sage kept silent for a good while.
Then, he scoffed. “Farewell!”
He turned around to leave the place.
Despite being a Great Sage, he did not dare to take Chu Kuangren on like that.
After Chu Kuangren had threatened the Acheron Manor publicly, many of the unknown lands secretly went and investigated the Bottomless Chasm’s current condition. They found out that the Bottomless Chasm was severely damaged, and all of it was most likely related to Chu Kuangren.
“Sect Leader…”
Elder Ruyan could not help but look at Chu Kuangren with concern. Even someone as smart as her could see the current predicaments that Chu Kuangren and the Black Heaven Sect were in.
“You guys have me.”
Chu Kuangren did not add on further.
Nevertheless, these four words had made Elder Ruyan feel relieved.
“We, the Black Heaven Sect, will share weal and woe with you, Sect Leader!”
Elder Ruyan said with resoluteness in her eyes.
“What weal and what woe. Stop being so dramatic. It’s just a few shameless lands. Don’t make it sound like doomsday.”
Chu Kuangren laughed it off, trying to lighten the mood.
Just then, his communication compass vibrated.
“Yes, it’s me. What’s up?”
“Sect Leader Chu, I bring grave news. Those Cloudflow ores that you wanted have been ransacked at the Outer Seas.” Master Qian’s voice was heard from the other side of the communication compass.
A cold gaze swept across Chu Kuangren’s eyes when he heard that.
“Tell me, what happened exactly?”
“We weren’t so sure ourselves. Just a while ago, our firm’s team tasked to transport the Cloudflow ore was robbed by someone at the Outer Seas.”
“Who did this?”
“No idea. Everything happened so quickly. We’re still investigating what went on.”
“Alright, I got it. I’ll make a trip there personally.”
Chu Kuangren said.
He turned off the communication compass.
After that, he gave Elder Ruyan some orders before leaving the Black Heaven Sect. His figure turned into a stream of light and swooped towards the direction of the Outer Seas.
…
At the Outer Seas.
A few big ships were docked at the shore of Ravengale Island.
Numerous people walked down from the ship, but they were all handcuffed as they were ushered down to the island.
“What do we do with those ores on the ship?”
A man in black asked a Golden Core cultivator.
That Nascent Soul cultivator then licked his lip while he looked at those piles after piles of Cloudflow ore on the ship behind him. “These ores must be incredibly valuable. Find a good place to stash them away. When it’s time, we will sell them.”
“Where shall we keep it? Also, there are so many ores, and it’ll be easy for people to find them. If the elders find out that we’re secretly storing ores, we won’t be let off the hook. Oh, if only we have a high-tier Yin and Yang Ring.”
That black-clad cultivator said helplessly.
Most low-tier cultivators did not own a Yin and Yang Ring. Even if they did, it would be some lower-tier Yin and Yang rings that were only about one or two cubic meters.
“I have one here, but it can’t store all of it.”
The Golden Core cultivator pondered for a while before he said, “How about this. Ask someone to hide a third of these ores in the valley not far away from here. As for the remaining two-thirds, just give them all to the elders. ”
There was no way they could secretly keep so many ores for themselves.
“Alright.”
The two of them split up to do their respective tasks.
Not long after that, an elder walked up to them.
“How’s it going?”
“Elder Hui, we’ve captured a total of one thousand and thirty-six people this time. On top of the people we captured on the previous occasions, we’ve already gathered ten thousand people. This will be enough for us to make a sacrifice to the Serpent Deity this time,” the Golden Core cultivator said.
Then, he brought that elder before those few commercial ships.
When the elder saw the Cloudflow ore on the ships, that elder’s eyes lit up.
“Oh, so many Cloudflow ores. They are even Top-tier ones. They must really cost a lot. Wait up, these… Are these ships from the Four Seas Firm?”
The elder looked closely at one of the commercial ships and was surprised.
However, he did not give it too much thought.
The Four Seas Firm was indeed very famous, but they had no business deals with Ravengale Island, so it did not matter that they had ransacked their ships.
“Lu Jia, you’ve done well this time around. Once we’ve finished this sacrificial ceremony, I’ll take you in officially as a true disciple.”
“Many thanks, elder.” Lu Jia responded delightedly.
“Now, gather these people up, and let’s head to the Serpent Deity’s Oceanic Domain tomorrow.”
“Yes.”
The next day.
A big ship that had over ten thousand people on them departed from Ravengale Island.
It was on this day that Chu Kuangren had arrived at the Outer Seas too.
The Four Seas Firm may not have found out who ransacked the Cloudflow ores, but Chu Kuangren had the Treasure Locating Skill that had sharp senses towards treasures. Especially since such a large amount of Cloudflow ore was gathered at one place, the energy it emitted was sufficient for Chu Kuangren to pick it up from several thousand kilometers away.
He used the Treasure Locating Skill throughout his whole journey, and finally it locked down on an island.
This island was very huge, and it was surrounded by a lot of smaller isles. The island had over a hundred thousand cultivators too.
The Outer Seas was clearly not just any ordinary cultivation orthodoxy.
Despite that, Chu Kuangren was not too bothered by this. He came to the top of the largest island, lifted his arm, and activated his spiritual energy to gather spiritual qi.
Within a second, the wind and clouds around him began to swirl violently. With Chu Kuangren as the center, surges of incredibly terrifying Daoist Rhyme spread in all four directions.
Every cultivator on the island immediately felt this extraordinary energy, and they all looked up to the sky, baffled by what they saw.
