CHAPTER 814: CHAPTER 814: ROBBERY

"And you?"

Once Li Yunxiao and his companions had left, Ling Chen turned his gaze to the trio of Moon Shadow.

Under Ling Chen’s stare, Moon Shadow’s delicate body trembled slightly.

During the earlier confrontation between Ling Chen and Li Yunxiao, she had already seen that even with Li Yunxiao using the power of ten worlds, he was still no match for Ling Chen.

Even if he employed high-grade Emperor Spirit Technique, he might not necessarily defeat Ling Chen.

Also, Ling Chen’s defensive techniques were astonishing.

"Master Ling, impressive skills."

Moon Shadow smiled faintly, "We willingly yield this item to you!"

"Good!"

Ling Chen nodded, "You may leave now."

Moon Shadow gave a slight nod.

Then left with the other two.

As they were about to leave the cave, Moon Shadow’s voice came through, "Young Master Ling, I hope you can keep this item safe! With Li Yunxiao’s character, he will surely not let this slide."

"Thank you for the warning."

Ling Chen responded.

But he didn’t take it to heart.

If Li Yunxiao ceased his pursuit, then so be it.

Otherwise, Ling Chen wouldn’t mind giving Li Yunxiao a genuine lesson!

What kind of waves could a mere ten-star emperor stir up?

Ling Chen was now alone in the cave.

"Go!"

With a thought, Ling Chen sent out a dark stream of light, shooting towards the hanging black light cluster.

It was the Mystic Sword.

The Mystic Sword directly penetrated the black light cluster, entangling with the black longsword inside.

It took a full two hours.

For the Mystic Sword to finally devour the black longsword.

Clearly, the grade of this black longsword was a bit higher.

"Buzz!"

When the Mystic Sword completely swallowed the black longsword, it suddenly emitted a hum.

Then, the sword body burst into a radiant glow.

It lasted for a hundred breaths before fading away.

At this moment, the Mystic Sword appeared different from before.

No longer entirely black.

But with specks of white.

Like stars studding a black sky.

"Has it evolved?"

Seeing the changes in the Mystic Sword, a hint of delight crossed Ling Chen’s eyes.

He could sense that the aura of the Mystic Sword was vastly different from before.

"Swoosh!"

Ling Chen wielded the Mystic Sword, merged with spiritual power, then lightly swung it, and a streak of sword qi slashed toward the ground.

"Boom!"

A chasm immediately appeared in the cave, cutting deep into the earth for dozens of zhang.

"It indeed evolved!"

Ling Chen was overjoyed.

After devouring a mid-grade Emperor Spiritual Weapon, the Mystic Sword finally evolved, reaching a level comparable to a low-grade Emperor Spirit Weapon.

Now, the Mystic Sword had devoured a mid-grade Emperor Spirit Weapon and nearly twenty low-grade Emperor Spirit Weapons.

It should be evolving to the Emperor Spirit Weapon level!

Ling Chen originally intended to continue advancing the Mystic Sword, but since devouring this mid-grade Emperor Spirit Weapon, the Mystic Sword seemed to be satisfied.

No longer possessing that guidance ability as before.

Ling Chen had to give up.

Back in the city, Ling Chen would go out with Ling Wu during the day to try their luck.

At night, he focused on cultivating the Void Body Refining Technique.

After successfully cultivating the first level of the Void Body, Ling Chen could now harness Void Power for cultivation.

The second level is the Great Void Transformation Technique.

It is to temper the entire physique with Void Power.

The Great Void Body only tempers the skin.

To successfully cultivate the Great Void Transformation Technique, the whole body must adapt to Void Power.

Only then can the physique reach the level of virtualization with the aid of Void Power.

Of course, this process will be longer.

And even more difficult.

Two months passed.

On this day.

Many prodigies arrived in this city.

And these people were all renowned figures.

All top prodigies from Qing City.

Some came from the twelve families in Qing City, others from the Eight Great Families of Qing City.

These individuals stood in the air in the center of the city.

"All of you listen up, hand over all Emperor Realm treasures, or be mercilessly killed!"

A cold, murderous voice echoed through the city.

The leading youth, dressed in a green robe.

Was named Qin Jian.

A prodigy of the Qin Family, one of the Eight Great Families in Qing City.

He was an eleven-star emperor!

An eleven-star emperor, even among all prodigies, was at the peak.

Compared to older generation strongmen, his weakness was only slight.

In the Void Secret Realm, while treasures were plenty.

The number of talented individuals entering was also substantial.

And whether one could acquire treasures depended entirely on chance.

Therefore, even with their amazing abilities, the treasures they obtained were limited.

Thus, they considered robbing other talents instead.

With the combined forces of the Eight Great Families and twelve clans of Qing City, few could stand against them!

Thus, they could reap a bounty of Emperor Realm treasures with impunity.

At this time, it was nearing dusk.

Not far from nightfall.

They had chosen their timing well.

As soon as it got dark, these people wouldn’t be able to escape.

They could only be slaughtered.

Moreover, more people would arrive at this time.

"What?!"

Hearing this news, many prodigies felt their hearts sink halfway.

Although the top thousand prodigies were generally not without substantial backing.

Compared to the peak powers in Qing City, the gap was considerable.

Even if people from the Eight Great Families acted against them, the powers behind them would not dare to trouble the Eight Great Families later.

After all, the disparity in power was evident!

Even with dissatisfaction, it had to be suppressed.

This was a world where power was revered, and the strong ruled.

Otherwise, it could drag down the powers supporting them.

"You have fifteen minutes to consider, either voluntarily submit and accept inspection, or die!"

Qin Jian stated coldly.

This was a scene they had become quite adept at handling.

The talents in the city all smiled bitterly.

Faced with such formidable opponents, how could they resist?

They harbored grievances but dared not voice them.

"Young Master Qin, I am the son of the Ice City Governor!"

At this time, a youth in a yellow robe spoke up.

His name was Huang Xiong, a ten-star emperor.

"Ice City?"

Qin Jian murmured and then smiled, "If you were from the three great capitals of the Northern Territory, we would spare you. However, mere Ice City, this status is not enough to make us back down!"

Upon hearing this, Huang Xiong’s face changed slightly.

The other talents showed even more despair.

Ice City, in the Northern Territory’s twelve towns, was not considered weak.

But even with such a status, if it couldn’t sway Qin Jian, then they had no chance.

"Young Master Qin, do you really want to wipe us out?"

Huang Xiong stared at Qin Jian.

"Heh, wipe you out?"

Qin Jian sneered, "Sorry, you’re not worth the effort! Just a small Ice City, even if I kill you, what could your Ice City do to me?"

His Qin Family was one of the Eight Great Families.

Only the three capitals of Heaven, Moon, and Cloud barely gave his Qin Family some pause.

As for the other nine, he didn’t even consider them.

Seeing Qin Jian’s face full of ridicule, Huang Xiong’s body trembled, fists clenched.

Fifteen minutes passed.

Qin Jian coldly said, "Time’s up, you should have made your choice by now. Hmm, let’s start with you, son of the Ice City Governor! What’s your decision? Hand over your treasures or seek death?"

Saying this, Qin Jian turned his gaze to Huang Xiong.

Over a dozen Ling Kong Cultivators also looked at Huang Xiong.

With Qin Jian, an eleven-star emperor guarding, ordinary people simply couldn’t resist!
