306: Charming taste
Although Feng Family Old Ancestor's sword technique looked impressive, it didn't carry a particularly dangerous aura.
The handsome young man fighting Feng Family Old Ancestor also noticed this and shouted, "Not good, he's trying to escape!"
Princess Princeess Zheyun suddenly understood and hastily commanded, "Don't let him get away!"
Xu Sanyan no longer delayed and rushed towards the battlefield. At this moment, everyone's attention was focused on Feng Family Old Ancestor, and no one noticed him.
So he began to collect corpses. As long as it was a body on the ground, whether from the Feng Family or Gan Country, he didn't discriminate.
Someone wasn't completely dead yet. As Xu Sanyan reached into his chest, the person immediately opened his eyes and looked at him with confusion.
Xu Sanyan applied force with his palm, and with a crisp 'crack,' the chest bone was crushed, and then he smoothly pulled out a Storage Pouch.
Whoosh—
A flash of sword light assailed him. Xu Sanyan deftly dodged, only to see a beautiful young girl with a hateful expression glaring at him.
"Villain, die!" The girl swung her longsword, attacking without defending, stabbing at him as if her life meant nothing.
Xu Sanyan helplessly pursed his lips. At this moment, he was under attack from both sides; the Feng Family treated him as an enemy, and the Gan Country people treated him as a Feng Family member, both wanting to kill him.
The girl's cultivation was barely at the Heavenly Human Realm, like a child to him, easily extinguishable.
As the longsword approached, Xu Sanyan deftly dodged by stepping aside, then grabbed her wrist and twisted gently.
"Crack,"
With a crisp snap, her wrist bone broke, and the longsword fell from her grasp. Before the girl could even cry out, Xu Sanyan had already pulled her into his embrace. Feeling the softness against his chest, he subconsciously glanced down.
Then, one hand supported the back of her head, and the other clamped her lower jaw. With a forceful twist, the girl's head rotated one hundred and eighty degrees, and she instantly lost all signs of life.
Xu Sanyan reached into her clothes, rummaged around, and pulled out a pink Storage Pouch. It looked very girlish. He didn't have time to examine it closely, so he picked up the longsword from the ground and continued to clear the battlefield.
He didn't let go of any dead person on the ground, and he also picked up scattered Magic Treasures. He had never been so thrifty.
On the other side, Feng Family Old Ancestor stood in mid-air, his hair and beard fluttering. He watched his clansmen being wantonly slaughtered, helpless, his heart filled with sorrowful choking.
He knew that the Feng family's impending great calamity today was unavoidable. He could only seize the opportunity to escape and preserve the Feng family's Bloodline.
As long as he was alive, the Feng family would not be considered extinct!
"Quick, stop him!"
Princeess Zheyun's clear voice was a little anxious. Only by killing him could the Feng family stronghold be completely annihilated. If he were allowed to escape, today's efforts would be in vain.
The handsome young man's eyes narrowed, and as he swung his longsword, a sword light slashed towards the rainbow light.
Feng Family Old Ancestor within the rainbow light countered with a palm strike, and surging magical power dispelled the sword light. Then, he gritted his teeth and left a harsh warning, "Hmph, this old man has taken note of today's grudge. In the future, I will make your Gan Country pay the price!"
With that said, the rainbow light shot towards the horizon, and Feng Family Old Ancestor disappeared into the distance with the light.
"Father, take me with you!"
"Old Ancestor, don't abandon us!"
When the Feng family disciples saw that the Old Ancestor had truly fled, an endless panic immediately arose in their hearts. They never imagined that their Old Ancestor would be so heartless and decisive, abandoning all his descendants, even including his direct lineage.
"Chase quickly, by no means can you let him escape!" Princeess Zheyun was greatly alarmed.
This time, however, the handsome young man did not listen to her. Instead, he shook his head and refused, "No, do not pursue cornered foes. Moreover, Your Highness cannot be left unguarded."
In his opinion, nothing was more important than Your Highness's safety.
"Hmph!"
Princeess Zheyun stomped her foot in anger but could not say anything more. She could only turn her head in a huff and vent her anger on the Feng Family members.
At this moment, the Feng Family members had long lost their will to resist and fled one after another.
And Xu Sanyan had also left long ago; he departed when Feng Family Old Ancestor fled.
...
Deep in the dense forest,
Xu Sanyan looked through the Storage Pouches floating in front of him, roughly counting no less than fifty.
Most of them belonged to the Chang family. Their cultivation was low, and there wasn't much good stuff in their Storage Pouches, only a few Spirit Stones and Magic Treasures, and the quality of the Magic Treasures was not high.
Xu Sanyan picked out the pink Storage Pouch. This color was extremely conspicuous, and he was very curious about what these lovely girls would keep in their Storage Pouches.
He took out the contents one by one. First, there was a booklet. He casually flipped through it; it was just an ordinary Cultivation Technique.
Next were three Spirit Stones, carefully wrapped in a handkerchief by the girl. He felt a bit sorry for her; he didn't know how much effort it took her to accumulate these three Spirit Stones.
"How pitiful..."
Xu Sanyan shook his head and casually put them into his own Storage Pouch.
There were also some herbs whose names he didn't know, but their value was very low, so he discarded them directly.
"Oh..."
Xu Sanyan pulled out a pink undergarment. A small white flower was embroidered on the chest, looking extremely cute. A unique girlish fragrance wafted over, stirring one's heart.
"Inhale... exhale..."
He held the undergarment to his nose, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled, a look of intoxication on his face.
This scent was truly intoxicating. Youth was indeed wonderful; even the scent was so charming.
What a pity... the person was gone, and only this piece of clothing remained.
There were not only undergarments in the Storage Pouch but also other clothes, including underwear, shoes, and socks.
After organizing all the items, there were over a thousand Spirit Stones, seventy-one low-grade Magic Treasures, mostly swords and sabers. There were also a dozen or so various Cultivation Techniques, which he didn't care for but still put away.
The rest were miscellaneous items, such as clothes and herbs, of very low value.
"Alas, so poor." Xu Sanyan shook his head.
He knew that this was actually the normal situation. Ordinary Cultivators were not wealthy. Those like him were a minority, after all, he was the Demon Sect Saint, the recognized number one among the younger generation!
With Xu Sanyan's Soul Refinement Realm cultivation, he was considered to have a generational lead among the younger generation. Further down, people like Fang Qingge and Net Intent were only at the mid-stage Mystic Path Realm.
His current cultivation was already comparable to some Hall Masters. Above them were the Palace Masters of the He Dao Realm, such as Mad Daoist, Venerable He Yu, and Flower Maiden.
Above the Palace Masters were the Sect Masters of the Five Great Sects, Sage Realm powerhouses!
Such powerhouses numbered less than ten in the entire Central Continent.
After Xu Sanyan finished organizing the Storage Pouch, he continued on his journey.
The journey was uneventful until the morning ten days later, when he looked at the large city built against the mountains and slowly exhaled a breath of turbid Qi.
Qianqiu City, he had arrived.
The city wasn't particularly large but was extremely ancient. Sword marks were left on the city walls, adding a sense of gravitas to it.
Occasionally, people entered and exited the city gate, either in pairs or in groups of three to five; very few were alone.
According to Old Master Chang, Qianqiu City was divided into Inner city and outer city. The Inner city was where the Wang family lived, and only Wang family members and invited guests could enter. Everyone else could only stay in the outer city.
Fighting was forbidden within Qianqiu City, or severe punishment would be incurred. This rule suited Xu Sanyan's intentions perfectly.
He never liked fighting; he only liked to reason.
At this moment, three women walked out of the city gate. The three were dressed identically, all in cyan long dresses with waist sashes and short boots, which perfectly accentuated their figures.
Although their attire was similar, their appearances and temperaments differed. One was playful and cute, one was cold and arrogant, and one was gentle and serene.
"Wang family members?"
Xu Sanyan looked at the patterns embroidered on their chests, which were identical to the patterns on the city wall plaque.
"Tsk... The Wang family members are truly beautiful..."
He stroked his chin, a smile playing on his lips.
