Chapter 978: Who Are You Extorting? (2)
Editor: Henyee Translations
In the memory screen of the slide, he had killed all the mid-stage Initial Dao Realm experts of the caravan, and the other travelers of the caravan had also fought with the guards. In the end, they were not their match. Even he was almost injured and could only use his teleportation talent to leave.
“There’s actually a fellow among those Realm Bandits who can erupt with the strength of the late-stage Initial Dao Stage. From the memories, he must have used some powerful secret technique!”
Secret techniques were very common in the Endless World. Explosive techniques, defensive techniques, attack techniques, support techniques, and so on. However, secret techniques that could greatly increase one’s strength were relatively precious. At least, in Chaotic Peak Mountain, only Chaotic Peak City had them.
It was clear that the Realm Bandit’s background wasn’t low, and it was related to the powerful forces of Chaotic Peak City.
“If I make a move, it will be equivalent to exposing my strength!” He rolled his eyes and temporarily dismissed the idea. He still had thousands of Genesis Crystals on him. They had also been plundered, so it was not a pity to spend them.
“Pay 10 Genesis Crystals each for your life!”
There were more than 30 Realm Bandits. It was about the same as the guards of the caravan, but it was definitely inferior to the entire caravan. Therefore, a Venerable Sovereign shouted, “Leader Zhen, you took our Genesis Crystals previously and had the responsibility to protect us. Now that the Realm Bandits are here, what are you waiting for?!”
“That’s right. You can’t just take Genesis Crystals and not do anything!” Many Venerable Sovereigns shouted. However, the caravan guards and the leader were unmoved.
On the other hand, the Venerable Sovereign who spoke first was attacked by a mid-stage Initial Dao Realm cultivator at lightning speed. This Venerable Sovereign immediately resisted, but unfortunately, he was not strong enough and was still killed in the end.
“Whoever wants to be next, don’t pay!”
It’s a good example of how to make an example of someone. One after another, Venerable Sovereigns began to hand over Genesis Crystals.
“I-I really don’t have any on me.”
“No? Then be our slaves!”
“Plunder the woman. Use your body to pay for it!”
Many Venerable Sovereigns wailed. Some Immortal Venerables were even more unlucky. They spent their savings to go to Chaotic Peak City, but in the end, their efforts were in vain. In the end, they still had to become miners.
Immortal Venerable Luan and Immortal Venerable Yao’s faces were pale. They had complained previously, but they really did not expect that the caravan was really colluding with these bandits.
When the Realm Bandits arrived, Shen Ping also obediently paid the Genesis Crystals. After a while, the caravan continued on its way. However, the entire team was lifeless. Everyone understood their fate of becoming pigs.
At least, there were no Realm Bandits along the way. Even the caravan did not continue to extort them. Seeing that they were about to reach Chaotic Peak City, many Venerable Sovereigns on board perked up and looked at the towering city in the distance. This city could not even compare to the most ordinary immortal city, but it was a holy land that more than ten nearby realms yearned for.
This was because there were a large number of cultivation resources in this city that could not be obtained in the realm. The prosperity and magnificence of a city did not lie in itself, but in the resources in the city.
However, at that moment, the caravan stopped again.
“Fellow Daoists, we’re about to reach Chaotic Peak City. At this juncture, I believe no one wants to encounter danger, so please take out 10 Genesis Crystals each. Otherwise, we can’t guarantee that you can arrive safely.”
Immediately, a series of curses sounded. It had to be said that this caravan knew what was going on. The more time pa.s.sed, the more the Venerable Sovereigns on board did not dare to resist. After all, they were about to arrive. They just had to grit their teeth and endure.
However, after two consecutive extortions, more than half of them had no savings. They could only resist.
“Let’s fight them!”
“As long as we can reach the vicinity of Chaotic Peak Mountain, we won’t have to worry about the Realm Bandits anymore!”
“There’s only about 30 of them. Let’s attack together!”
Almost instantly, more than six Venerable Sovereigns resisted. Shen Ping had already checked with the Pupil of Flame Beast. Without the Realm Bandits, this group of merchants would be at his mercy. “You all enter my great dao supreme treasure!”
“Be careful.”
Immortal Venerable Luan and Immortal Venerable Yao immediately understood what Shen Ping meant.
After entering the Great Dao treasure, Shen Ping switched to the puppet. Now that the puppet had completely recovered its Dao Body, it was already at the late-stage of the Initial Dao Realm. Coupled with various Great Dao treasures and the secret techniques of the Taihao Peak, it could unleash the strength of the Dao Origin Realm by burning some Dao Body.
Therefore, his target was the middle-stage Initial Dao Stage cultivator of the caravan.
Seeing the four mid Initial Dao Realm cultivators being suppressed, the mid-stage expert on board could no longer hold it in and joined the battle. Great Dao fluctuations swept out like waves. The surrounding s.p.a.ce even trembled. The destructive power of every Venerable Sovereign was very strong.
Under Shen Ping’s outburst, three people at the mid-stage of the Initial Dao Stage died in just a dozen breaths. The remaining one fled when he saw that the situation was not good. Unfortunately, he was still chased by Shen Ping and became a soul of the black spear.
After taking away what’s on them, Shen Ping did not even look at the caravan and quickly flashed away. He only stopped when he arrived near the majestic city gate of Chaotic Peak City. A law enforcement team from the city quickly rushed towards the place where the battle had just taken place.
His expression was calm. Then, he let the two Immortal Venerables, Luan and Yao, come out. The city gate had a special method to detect the living beings in Great Dao treasures. Of course, it was only able to detect ordinary Great Dao treasures. It was difficult to detect things like the Nine Continents Tower.
“Fellow Daoist Shen, are you alright?”
“Don’t worry, I’m fine. Let’s go into the city!”
After bringing the two Immortal Venerables to pay the entrance fee, they stepped onto the main road of Chaotic Peak City. Compared to Black Swamp Market Town, there were more Venerable Sovereigns in Chaotic Peak City. They could often see mid Initial Dao Realm cultivators, but they could not see the late-stage Initial Dao Realm.
They went to the inn first. After asking around, the accommodation fee was even more expensive. However, Shen Ping, who had just obtained a large number of Genesis Crystals, did not care about this. He first booked a room.
“It’s so s.p.a.cious. Now we don’t have to sleep together.” Immortal Venerable Luan smiled.
Immortal Venerable Yao blushed.
Shen Ping said, “Let’s stay here for a few days. When we buy a courtyard, we can settle down here in the future.”
The two girls immediately exclaimed, “Buy a courtyard?”
“That’s right. I killed the four fellows in the middle stage of the Initial Dao Stage of the caravan and obtained a lot of Genesis Crystals!”
The mid-stage Initial Dao Stage of this caravan was extremely fat. Their net worth ranged from 6,000 to 7,000 to 10,000. The four of them added up to nearly 30,000 Genesis Crystals, which was almost equivalent to the entire net worth of a very poor late-stage Initial Dao Stage.
Of course, the most important thing was the Great Dao treasures on them. These things were even more valuable to sell.
“Fellow Daoist Shen is amazing!” Immortal Venerable Luan praised.
Immortal Venerable Yao was also shocked. Although she knew that Shen Ping had some kind of trump card, she did not expect him to be able to kill four cultivators at the mid-stage of the Initial Dao Realm. Didn’t this mean that if he wanted to, he could slaughter all the Venerable Sovereigns in the entire Immortal Dao Domain?!
In the next few days, Shen Ping bought all the resources he needed while looking for a suitable courtyard. In the end, he chose a few courtyards and one in the east district.
“16,000 Genesis Crystals! It’s too expensive! This many Genesis Crystals is enough to let one achieve a Venerable Sovereign expert!” Immortal Venerable Yao was secretly speechless.
Shen Ping smiled and said, “Genesis Crystals are meant to be spent. Alright, let’s stay in this courtyard in peace in the future. It doesn’t look big, but it’s very safe. Most importantly, it’s easier to comprehend the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth here.”
Immortal Venerable Luan pursed her lips and said, “Fellow Daoist Shen, we won’t be polite to you.” She winked at Immortal Venerable Yao.
That night, they had a good celebration. Shen Ping and Immortal Venerable Luan celebrated for half a month. The next day, he came to a pavilion shop near the main road of the Chaotic Peak City. This pavilion was specialized in selling information.
He paid a sum of Genesis Crystals. He walked into the private room, and soon, a woman at the mid-stage of the Initial Dao Realm walked in. “Dao Brother, what information do you want to know? Our Myriad World Pavilion is the most well-informed. We even know a lot about the dojos of the endless world.”
Shen Ping took out a bracelet. It was the green bracelet he had obtained. This thing had never appeared outside, so no one would know that this was the Realm Sea Peak’s authority bracelet.
