313: They're a walking treasure trove right now!
Saint Son Ning An’s heart tightened!
Someone had actually hired the Eight Seas Bandits to buy his life!
Moreover, from the looks of it, he wasn't the only one who had become a target; all the Saints of the top powers were their targets!
The more he thought about it, the more terrifying it became!
Who would pay such a huge price to capture them?
Unfortunately, Chen Xuantong had no intention of wasting too much time talking to him!
He Baichuan, who was nearby, flicked his soul banner, and Saint Son Ning An was immediately captured into a Formation Flag.
"It seems this business deal was very profitable. The Saints of the top powers are nothing special after all!"
He Baichuan said with a smile, having captured Saint Son Ning An with almost no difficulty.
This was about a large batch of divine marrow!
"These Saints are inherently arrogant and dislike working together. Coupled with our surprise attack, we were able to capture Ning An."
"However, with the soul banner breaking just now and the Qi leaking, those Saints who haven't left Suspended City might not be so easy to deal with."
Chen Xuantong thought about it and felt that there were still loopholes in his plan.
The most important thing was that the accidental leakage of Qi meant that this kind of ambush could only be done once.
He Baichuan nodded, glaring at him irritably, "This is all your fault. You almost destroyed my soul banner, which is why I had no choice but to retract it."
"Now it's over. To catch those people, unless more experts are willing to help, it will be difficult to capture those Saints once they are prepared!"
Chen Xuantong's face showed an unnatural expression, but then he cursed, "I told you to put more effort into Cultivating your Divine Soul techniques! You can't even withstand one slap from me, and you dare to blame me?"
"Let's go, let's go, let's go back and figure something out first!"
Chen Xuantong turned and left, not giving He Baichuan a chance to retort... At the same time!
Inside Suspended City, some Heavenly Phenomenon Realm experts keenly detected the Qi of Saint Son Ning An and Chen Xuantong.
However, this Qi disappeared very quickly, becoming undetectable in less than half a quarter of an hour!
Saint Son Tianxuan's eyes gleamed as he looked towards the distant sea, "It seems Ning An's luck is very bad; he actually encountered Chen Xuantong of the Eight Seas Bandits!"
"How could this guy appear there? No, there's another Qi, that's... He Baichuan!"
Two Eight Seas Bandits appeared at once!
This wasn't right!
Li Feiyan of the Purple Cloud Sect stood not far from him and said, "Chen Xuantong and He Baichuan appeared together, and Saint Son Ning An's Qi disappeared. Do you think this could be a conspiracy of the Eight Seas Bandits?"
"Are they targeting the Saints of these top powers?"
"If that's truly the case, will they... also set their sights on other Saints?"
Du Shaohui, the Saint of the Jin Yi Sect, looked grim.
The Saints of their major powers already had a gap in strength compared to the Saints of the top powers. If they were truly targeted by the Eight Seas Bandits, that would not be good news for them!
"Hmph! I'm just afraid they don't have that much capability!"
"Suspended City is full of experts. They wouldn't dare to provoke all the Sects, would they?!"
The Saint of the Yunxiao Sect said coldly, a hint of chill in his eyes.
"No matter what they want to do, I think the Saints of those top powers will definitely be prepared!"
"However, I don't think they have the guts to attack all Saints. This is most likely just a personal grudge."
"Forget it, let's hurry to the Never Look Back Merchant Guild, buy what we need, and leave here as soon as possible!"
Many experts in Suspended City felt that something was amiss, fearing that Saint Son Ning An's fate would befall them. They rushed to the Trading Firm, buying treasures in large quantities.
This, in turn, made the Never Look Back Merchant Guild's business even better!
Some Cultivators went to investigate the place where Saint Son Ning An's Qi disappeared, and soon a shocking piece of news came back!
"Saint Son Ning An's flying boat was actually destroyed? And all the Cultivators inside died?!"
"From this, it seems that Chen Xuantong and He Baichuan appeared there, and their target was precisely Saint Son Ning An. Otherwise, other Cultivators wouldn't have all died, and only he disappeared."
"It's very strange. Chen Xuantong and these vicious people never hold back when killing, so why did they specifically leave Saint Son Ning An? I think there seems to be some unknown inside story here!"
"You're absolutely right. I think they're more like capturing people, rather than killing these Saints."
Many Cultivators were speculating about what the Eight Seas Bandits were trying to do, and why they captured Saint Son Ning An.
Some speculated it was an action targeting the Vermilion Bird Prefecture, others guessed it was to seize the treasures they had bought, and still others speculated that the Eight Seas Bandits had been recruited by someone, and capturing Saint Son Ning An must have an ulterior motive!
Numerous rumors were rampant!
The entire Suspended City presented a strange scene, and all Cultivators dared not leave the city easily!
At least in Suspended City, it was much safer than outside.
One day, two days, three days, for several consecutive days, the treasures in the Never Look Back Merchant Guild were bought in large quantities.
Some Cultivators began to leave, but this time, many Cultivators unusually teamed up with others to leave, fearing they might encounter experts from the Eight Seas Bandits.
As for the Saints of those top powers, their whereabouts became even more secretive. Except for appearing when the Never Look Back Merchant Guild was open, they almost never appeared at other times.
It was clear that the actions of Chen Xuantong, He Baichuan, and these guys against Saint Son Ning An had made them sense something strange... In the Barren Sea Region!
Chu Tianlan, the Saint of the White Tiger Mansion, and Bai Tianjie, were sitting on a huge treasure seal, heading towards the White Tiger Mansion.
"Senior Brother Chu, why are you so cautious? With the strength of the two of us, are we still afraid of that Chen Xuantong?"
Bai Tianjie looked at Chu Tianlan with a hint of disdain, though he didn't show it on his face.
As the Saint of the White Tiger Mansion, Chu Tianlan was actually scared away by an Eight Seas Bandit. If this got out, wouldn't people laugh their heads off?
"Idiot!"
Chu Tianlan cursed inwardly, but on the surface, he said calmly, "Junior Brother Bai, you and I are naturally not afraid of them, but it's better to avoid trouble!"
"The treasures we bought at the Never Look Back Merchant Guild these past few days are priceless. If they were truly targeted by the Eight Seas Bandits, wouldn't that be too much of a grievance?"
The two of them were walking treasure vaults now!
Originally, coming to the Never Look Back Merchant Guild this time was just to see if there were really so many treasures for them to choose from.
But once they entered the Trading Firm, they found there was no turning back!
There were too many treasures inside, and the divine marrow they had accumulated for many years flowed like water, being completely drained by the Trading Firm in just a few days!
Chu Tianlan didn't want the treasures he bought with his entire fortune to be truly targeted!
