347: Chapter 347 The more handsome a person is, the more monstrous they become when they kill!
The excruciating pain of losing his limbs caused Elder Wang's facial features to twist completely, leaving him no time to respond to Cao Kun's question.
Cao Kun looked down at him from above, his eyes devoid of even a shred of pity.
With a wave of his left hand, a Storage Ring embedded with Spirit Stones flew out from Elder Wang's severed limb and landed steadily in Cao Kun's palm.
"Pfft!"
After the spiritual connection to the Storage Ring was forcibly severed, Elder Wang spat out another mouthful of black blood.
Rolling his eyes back, he nearly fainted from the pain.
"Many thanks to the Elder for the treasure."
Cao Kun weighed the Storage Ring in his hand, looking down at the human stick at his feet with a smile.
"Since you aren't speaking, I'll take that as your agreement."
With that, he flicked his finger.
A wisp of Chaos Qi shot out, piercing directly through Elder Wang's glabella and shredding his Primordial Spirit, which was still attempting Possession to escape, into pieces!
This Elder, who had lorded over the Tianxuan Immortal Sect for many years at the Peak Mahayana Stage, had his Divine Soul completely annihilated on the spot, dying thoroughly.
The few stewards nearby, who had originally counted on Elder Wang for support, were now paralyzed with fear on the ground, with puddles of yellow and white filth seeping from their crotches.
Before they could even beg for mercy, that wisp of Chaos Qi curved in the air.
"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"
The stewards were instantly cut in half at the waist.
Under the erosion of the Law of Annihilation, their flesh and blood turned into a mist of blood, leaving not even a complete corpse behind.
After doing all this, Cao Kun walked away from the Ascension Platform as if nothing had happened.
On the way, Cao Kun separated a wisp of his Divine Sense and tossed the Storage Ring he had just looted, along with the Storage Rings offered by the seven or eight Lower Realm ascenders, all into the Demon Suppressing Tower.
Inside the Demon Suppressing Tower, Empress Yue Chan was startled by the sudden commotion.
A look of astonishment appeared on her beautiful Face.
The other women, however, were already accustomed to Cao Kun's style of robbing wherever he went.
"Haven't you only been ascended for less than half an hour? Where did you get so many Spirit Stones and high-grade Magic Treasures?"
Cao Kun's Divine Sense condensed beside Empress Yue Chan, and he replied smugly, "Isn't it because I ran into some enthusiastic members of the Spirit Realm who insisted on giving me some startup capital?"
"Their kindness was hard to refuse; I couldn't very well reject the Face of those immortals, could I?"
Upon hearing this, Empress Yue Chan sneered and mercilessly punctured his nonsense: "Heh! Only a fool would believe you!"
"You didn't just commit some highway robbery as soon as you came up, did you?"
"Oh, Chan'er, you're wronging me."
Cao Kun leaned in closer, reaching out to grab her slender, supple waist, and shamelessly argued: "They handed it over voluntarily. I didn't even say a harsh word; it was all thanks to my personal charm."
As soon as he finished speaking, before Empress Yue Chan could push him away in disgust, a sweet and enticing fragrance wafted over from the side.
Yu Linglong had approached at some point.
Her nine fluffy purple fox tails swayed enchantingly behind her as she snuggled into Cao Kun's arms, smiling coquettishly: "Oh, Sister Chan'er, you don't understand. Master calls this 'robbing the rich to help the poor.' Besides, isn't Master's money our money?"
"Let's earn more so that we can walk sideways in the Spirit Realm later~"
As she spoke, her fox tails restlessly rubbed against Cao Kun's head.
Empress Yue Chan glanced at her, her tone haughty and full of hostility: "Hmph, twisted logic. Plundering is ultimately a low-class act. If it attracts the encirclement of major powers in the Spirit Realm, it will needlessly increase complications."
Yu Linglong covered her mouth and giggled, not caring at all: "What is there to fear? If the sky falls, Master will hold it up. We just need to focus on being beautiful."
Not far away, Yan Feiyue was practicing Alchemy. Hearing the commotion, she peeked out and gently agreed: "I believe Young Master has his own sense of judgment. The Restriction technique on this Storage Ring is quite exquisite; it looks like the item of a Cultivator at the Mahayana Stage."
...
After entering the sage mode, Cao Kun's consciousness withdrew from the Demon Suppressing Tower, and he began to ponder his next destination.
Newly arrived in the Spirit Realm, he was unfamiliar with the place.
He definitely couldn't go to the Tianxuan Immortal Sect.
That was the territory of that old guy Supreme Elder Zhan Hong; going there now would be asking for trouble, and the cost-benefit ratio was too low.
So, for the time being, he couldn't go looking for Murong Xue.
"Then I'll go to the Guan Family first to catch up with Guan Linger."
That little girl had made some harsh threats back in front of the Taiqing Palace Secret Realm.
Moreover, she still owed him a full twenty days.
He still had to enjoy the blessing of a Spirit Realm Goddess serving tea, pouring water, massaging his shoulders, and pounding his legs.
"Damn!"
Just after setting his goal, Cao Kun suddenly slapped his thigh in annoyance.
That was hasty!
He had left the Lower Realm too hurriedly, only caring about taking advantage of her.
He had forgotten to leave a communication talisman with Guan Linger.
Now that he was in the Spirit Realm, he was completely in the dark and didn't even know where the Guan Family was.
"Looks like I need to find a place to ask around."
Cao Kun flipped his wrist and took the heaven-deceiving stealth cloak out of the System space, draping it over himself.
Not long after, he found a large-scale cultivation city, Feixian City, tens of thousands of miles away from the Ascension Pool.
Cultivators came and went in the city like a weaving shuttle, with the lowest cultivation level being the Body Integration Stage.
The shops on both sides of the street were filled with a dazzling array of goods, selling various Heaven And Earth Treasures that were rarely seen in the Lower Realm.
Cao Kun strolled around for a while before walking into a pavilion that specialized in buying and selling information and also functioned as a teahouse.
The hall was extremely lively.
Loose Cultivators were gathered in groups of three or five, talking excitedly and spitting everywhere about the big event that had just happened at the Ascension Pool.
"Have you heard? A living King of Hell ascended from the Lower Realm today! As soon as he landed, he punched Steward Liu of the Tianxuan Immortal Sect into a mist of blood!"
A burly man with a full beard took a gulp of spirit wine and shouted loudly.
A person nearby excitedly slapped the table and took over the conversation: "That's nothing! My great-uncle's second cousin was there eating melon at the time!"
"He saw with his own eyes that ruthless man slap the Peak Mahayana Stage Elder Wang into a human stick! He's simply a monster!"
"Hiss, really? Even a Peak Mahayana Stage was taken out in one hit? When did such a terrifying figure appear in the Lower Realm?"
"Who knows! Maybe he was suppressed for too long in the Lower Realm and went on a rampage as soon as he ascended!"
Cao Kun listened with great interest from the side, grabbed a handful of spirit melon seeds from the next table, leaned over, and agreed deeply: "Yeah, yeah, he's really damn ruthless!"
"But with such cruel methods, that guy must be handsome and dashing, right?"
The few Loose Cultivators were stunned by this sudden interjection.
Since all the ascenders present at the time had been let go by Cao Kun, and there weren't many onlookers to begin with, everyone was just repeating hearsay.
They had no idea what that ruthless man actually looked like.
Guided by Cao Kun, the Loose Cultivator nearby hesitated: "This... my great-uncle's second cousin was far away and didn't see his Face clearly. But does appearance have anything to do with strength?"
Cao Kun continued to entice them: "Think about it, such a peerless ruthless man must be a hidden old monster."
"When cultivation reaches this level, appearance has long returned to its original state."
"He must be handsome as jade, with an unworldly temperament, the kind that could mesmerize thousands of Fairies just by walking down the street."
The bearded man nodded sagely after hearing this: "This brother makes sense!"
"It must be like that! The more handsome a Cultivator is, the more perverted they often are when killing!"
"I get it, this is called contrast!"
Learning that no one knew his true appearance, Cao Kun put the stealth cloak into the System space and walked straight to the reception desk at the back of the hall.
The steward behind the counter saw that Cao Kun had an extraordinary bearing and immediately put on a professional smile: "Young Master, are you looking to inquire about some information?"
"The intelligence of our Feixian Pavilion is second to none in this Eastern Profound Domain."
Cao Kun didn't waste words and casually tossed a small bag of Top-Grade Spirit Stones onto the counter.
"I want to ask, where is the Guan Family?"
The steward's eyes lit up, and he nimbly swept the brocade bag into his sleeve, the smile on his Face becoming more sincere and respectful: "Young Master asked the right person. The Guan Family is a top-tier clan in the Southern Profound Domain with a deep foundation."
"However, it is hundreds of millions of miles away from our Feixian City in the Eastern Profound Domain."
"If Young Master is in a hurry, flying on your own definitely won't work."
"The only way is to take the cross-domain teleportation array set up in the City Lord's Mansion."
Speaking of this, the steward looked around to confirm no one was paying attention.
He then leaned close to Cao Kun and said mysteriously: "However, Young Master probably won't be able to leave recently. Just half an incense stick ago, the Tianxuan Immortal Sect suddenly sent people to blockade hundreds of large and small cities in the surrounding area!"
"It is strictly forbidden for anyone to leave without authorization!"
"I estimate that the Tianxuan Immortal Sect is making such a big commotion just to catch that ruthless person who caused trouble at the Ascension Pool!"
