130: Who gave you the courage to steal my treasure?

Ghost Moon Legacy grounds.

Everywhere the eye could see here was nothing but an endless expanse of white mist.

"My Lord, this place has actually sealed off true essence; I can't use any martial arts." As soon as Fu Yunxuan entered this place, she sensed something was wrong.

"It's not just true essence; even my Physical Body has been significantly suppressed. I'm only slightly stronger than the Acquired Realm now. This place is truly damned strange." Wang Chao frowned; having both true essence and Physical Body suppressed was definitely not good news.

"My Lord, how are you doing?"

"Suppressed a little, but the impact is minimal."

Chu Jiang nodded. The suppression power here likely had an upper limit. His divine lightning true essence was a mutated true essence that had undergone ninety-nine-eighty-one times of extreme compression.

The suppression power here could not lock it down.

His Physical Body strength had been suppressed somewhat, down to the Grandmaster level.

For those who came here: Peak Great Grandmasters would be suppressed to the Vajra Realm.

Anyone below the Great Grandmaster level, including Grandmasters, would be suppressed to the Acquired Realm.

On the other hand, the Supreme Soul Realm was completely unaffected and could still be used.

While it was suppression for others, for him, it was effectively suppressing nothing at all.

However, to his surprise, Xiaobai didn't seem to be significantly affected either, its strength still maintained at the Peak of the Sha level.

"Master, I smell the scent of treasure!" Xiaobai, on his shoulder, suddenly spoke.

"Master, I'll take these two over to hunt for treasure and give them some training." Xiaobai said.

Chu Jiang nodded. Xiaobai was a Six-Desire Stone Demon Ape, an ancient exotic beast. The suppression here had basically no effect on it. It would be good for them to go and get some training.

His Divine Soul sensed a faint, dark aura here, quite strange, so it would be a good opportunity to go and investigate.

"Let's go!" Xiaobai pulled Wang Chao and the other along, heading toward the east.

The group moved quickly, disappearing into the vast sea of white mist.

Xiaobai's eyes lit up: "So many treasures! Mine, mine, they're all mine..." Its breathing quickened. "Let's get this straight: the treasures we snatch later will be split nine-to-one!"

"How about we split it fifty-fifty? You taking one part is too little!" Fu Yunxuan suggested.

"Little Xuanxuan, what nonsense are you spouting? You two share one part, and nine parts are mine!"

Wang Chao: "Xiaobai, don't be so greedy; even unscrupulous merchants aren't as black-hearted as you!"

Xiaobai: "From now on, call me Lord Xiaobai. I will lead you to rampage through this treasure land."

With Chu Jiang not around, it was getting cocky again.

"Don't complain about it being too little; most of my nine parts have to be handed over to Master!"

Fu Yunxuan: "I'll believe you this once!"

Xiaobai: ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)✧

Suddenly, Xiaobai transformed. It turned into the Eight-Eyed Ghost King. It had just asked Chu Jiang to let it observe the corpse, and the transformation was eighty percent accurate.

"Now, when we go robbing later, call me Lord Ghost King." Xiaobai said with a wicked grin.

"Robbing?" "Aren't we going to hunt for treasure?" Fu Yunxuan was stunned.

"The treasures are in other people's hands, so we're going to rob... er, hunt... it's the same thing anyway!" Xiaobai said shamelessly.

"We're here, we're here!" "Minions, follow this King and charge! The treasures are right before our eyes!" Xiaobai charged ahead first.

Behind it, Wang Chao and Fu Yunxuan twitched their lips; this sounded a bit strange. If one didn't think of it as a person... ah, that sounded right. But they still followed.

A moment later, they looked ahead. There were dozens of people here, fighting over treasures. In the sky, there were two or three treasures, each emitting dazzling brilliance.

Blue-robed middle-aged man: "You are courting death! This Demon Subduing Pestle belongs to this Seat!"

Mang Jingang: "Yours? It belongs to this Sect Master! Do you think you're still outside? Here, everyone is in the Acquired Realm, yet you still dare to bully people with your status."

"Kill him!" Fortunately, he had the foresight to bring over thirty people when entering here. Although they had lost quite a few along the way due to various reasons, there were still over twenty people left. They were the faction with the most people present.

Now that everyone was in the Acquired Realm, the battle naturally came down to numbers. Since he had chosen to offend this Blue-robed Grandmaster, it was best to kill him right here and eliminate future trouble. He didn't want to have a powerful enemy suddenly appear behind his back.

He had originally wanted to cooperate with him. However, these treasures were too eye-catching, and cooperating with him meant only getting a 70-30 split. What nonsense. He had dozens of people; give him 30%? Did he still think he was a Grandmaster?

The Blue-robed middle-aged man was suppressed to the Acquired Realm. The foundation of a Grandmaster made him slightly stronger than an ordinary Acquired Realm cultivator, but there were too many Acquired Realm cultivators surrounding him. Soon, one of his arms was hacked off.

"This damned broken place! Being locked out of true essence is one thing, but even the Physical Body is suppressed so severely. Truly, a tiger in the lowlands is bullied by dogs!"

Those who had treated him with courtesy just a moment ago were now stabbing him in the back. No. If he kept fighting, he would die here. A gentleman's revenge is never too late. He would settle the score with them another day.

Just as he was thinking about which direction to break out from, a massive voice rang out.

"Audacious! Who gave you the gall to steal this King's treasures!"

The Eight-Eyed Ghost King, transformed by Xiaobai, looked down at the crowd with a fierce and wicked expression.

"Playing god and acting like a devil!" "The treasures are ownerless objects; when did they become yours?" "Kill it for me, then seize the treasures!"

Within the crowd, someone took the lead and instantly charged toward Xiaobai.

"Everyone who comes here only has one Realm: the Acquired Realm. Who's afraid of whom?"

On the other hand, the Blue-robed middle-aged man took advantage of this momentary distraction and decisively fled.

"You dare touch the things in this King's home!" Xiaobai was imposing without showing anger. It reached out with a pair of large hands and instantly swatted the person charging at it, sending them flying dozens of meters away, where they kicked the bucket on the spot.

The large hands did not stop; instead, they lunged straight for the Blue-robed middle-aged man. In an instant, it grabbed him, holding him like a little chick, and no matter how he struggled, it was in vain. It crushed him to death directly.

The Demon Subduing Pestle fell into Xiaobai's hands.

This scene left everyone dumbfounded. This... how was this monster not suppressed? Its strength was so formidable, far exceeding the Acquired Realm.

Mang Jingang's eyes rolled, and he immediately slid to his knees, saying with sorrow and indignation: "Greetings, Great King! I knew long ago that these treasures were definitely not ownerless. For the sake of the safety of your treasures, I specifically took care of them on your behalf to prevent them from being snatched by treacherous people."

"Now that the Great King has arrived in person, they naturally return to their rightful owner!" Mang Jingang handed over a top-grade pair of gauntlets he had snatched, bowing and offering them up.

"Good!" "This King now appoints you as the Treasure-Gathering General. Bring back all the treasures stolen from this King's home, and when the time comes, there will be no shortage of rewards for you."

Xiaobai took the top-grade gauntlets and nodded with satisfaction. This kid was sensible.

"Thank you for the reward, Great King!" Mang Jingang was overjoyed. With such a massive backer, he would be able to walk sideways in this Legacy grounds.

The others saw this and also knelt one after another, joining Xiaobai's forces. They didn't dare to run now, unless they wanted to be swatted to death.

"Great King, do you have a title?" Mang Jingang asked.

"Listen well: I am the Western White Emperor, Bai Zhaoju, Upright and Strict, Heavenly Supreme Sovereign — The Peerless Ghost King!" Xiaobai said with a proud expression.

Mang Jingang: "..." Fu Yunxuan: "..." Wang Chao: "..."

"Great King, isn't this title a bit long?" Mang Jingang said.

"What? This is already my shortest title!"

Mang Jingang exclaimed in admiration: "The Great King's title is truly worthy of a star descending to the mortal Realm, a true king among men!"

"Very good!" "Now, set out!" "Take back all the treasures lost from my home!" Xiaobai said solemnly.

"Western White Emperor, Bai Zhaoju, Upright and Strict, Heavenly Supreme Sovereign — The Peerless Ghost King, with boundless magical power, seizing supreme treasures, dominating the world!"

"Watch your wording; it's 'collect'!" Xiaobai corrected.

Soon, dozens of people were chanting the awkward slogan, escorting Xiaobai in the center. They marched imposingly toward the next target.

Fu Yunxuan and Wang Chao looked at the bizarre scene behind them; Xiaobai had truly become a Great King.
