126: Kill the robbery, Bai Luochuan

After checking out of the inn, Bai Tang led the group out of Tianbo City. With various mechanical arts and a Spirit Boat for flying, Chen Cuo had even bought a small Puppet a few days prior. Despite its small size, the Puppet was quite valuable.

It was a canine-shaped Puppet, a Medium Grade First Tier, which could be used for environmental detection and even tracking. Its effectiveness was good, and even though it was small, it cost three hundred and twenty Spirit Stones.

As soon as they left Tianbo City and flew only about ten miles, Chen Cuo tested it out. The Puppet dog immediately signaled continuously that someone was following them.

Actually, Chen Cuo didn't need to deliberately investigate; the people behind them didn't conceal their figures. There were three of them, all at the Late Stage Qi Refining Realm, and one Cultivator at the Great Perfection Qi Refining Realm. They had been watching them for several days. Chen Cuo had shown off his wealth, indicating immense riches, and it was still somewhat unbelievable that Qi Refining Late Stage Cultivators would make a move.

Without Foundation Establishment, it was still excusable. Foundation Establishment cultivators found it extremely easy to make money and didn't need to risk their lives as rogue Cultivators.

However, Late Stage Qi Refining Cultivators were already considered high-end combatants. Although Chen Cuo was slightly surprised to see so many Demonic Path Foundation Establishment cultivators like ants when he first entered this world, that was due to the Demonic Path's collective action. Normally, Foundation Establishment cultivators were rare.

Qi Refining Cultivators were still very popular in ordinary areas. The wealth Chen Cuo displayed was enough to tempt the Cultivators behind them. If it were anyone else, three against two would surely succeed.

But for Chen Cuo, it was merely a trivial matter.

As the three approached, Bai Tang remained unhurried. Against Cultivators of the same tier, it wasn't difficult for her to handle them with the treasures she possessed.

“Fellow Daoists, please wait, my three brothers have something…” The leader from behind called out to Bai Tang, but his body swiftly closed in.

Before he could finish speaking, a shining Immortal Rope had already wrapped around him. In just a moment, it bound the foremost Qi Refining Perfection Cultivator, who was unable to dodge and fell to the ground.

Then Bai Tang took out a ring, and a stream of black water poured onto that person. His followers behind him were greatly alarmed by the sight and immediately cast spells to neutralize the ring's attack, hurrying over to help the leading Cultivator.

By the time the two of them unfastened the Immortal Rope, half of the leading Cultivator’s face had already rotted away, and his clothes were tattered. He wore an expression of hatred and terror.

But before he could make his next move, an invisible yet chilling sword light swept over. His eyes seemed to become momentarily dazed, and he instinctively wanted to resist. However, the scene before him shifted with the flow; it was no longer Tianbo City, but a battlefield of slaughter. Before him were countless terrifying demons, and for a moment, he even forgot to resist.

A cold wind swept through, and in an instant, the brilliant light lost its color. Only a sword light remained between heaven and earth. A Flying Sword cut through that person's head, and in an instant, his body and head were separated.

The other two were filled with surprise and disbelief. They hadn't expected Bai Tang and Chen Cuo to act so decisively, directly killing their leader with a single move.

Before the two could react, a stream of fire landed on one person. Bai Tang seized the opportunity to follow up, violently smashing her Black Water Bracelet into the other person's head, causing his head to burst with blood, and he immediately died.

And the person burned by Chen Cuo’s flames, whether he used a fire-repelling spell or defended with a Magical Artifact, found it all ineffective. In his panic, he was burned alive!

“Junior Brother’s Magical Power True Fire is truly incredible! No wonder he could refine High Grade First Tier Magical Artifacts in such a place!” Bai Tang exclaimed with emotion. With such flames aiding him, combined with his excellent Artifact Refining talent, he indeed had more potential to become a true disciple of Lingbao Mountain than she did.

White Egret nodded from the side, but her heart was filled with doubt. Chen Cuo’s Innate True Fire didn't seem this powerful. Could its power be strengthened after the Magical Power transformation?

However, she didn't ask, instead staring in the direction of Tianbo City. Seeing that no one else was chasing them from there, she went to look after Bai Qianqian and the others.

“It's nothing worth mentioning. Rather, it's Senior Sister's treasures that I envy.”

The two new Magical Artifacts Bai Tang used were both High Grade First Tier. The Immortal Binding Rope was specifically for binding and trapping enemies, while the Black Water Bracelet could collect highly poisonous black water to corrode Physical Bodies and Magical Power. Itself was also incredibly heavy and could be used for direct smashing.

The two Magical Artifacts were quite powerful, and when used against the leading rogue Cultivator, they ultimately delivered a fatal blow.

However, these items would not be sufficient against Mr. Luo Chuan, which is why she only brought them out today.

Chen Cuo didn't wait for Bai Tang to continue speaking. From a distance, a pulling force retrieved the three individuals' Relics into his hands. After several days of research and Magical Power integration, his Dragon-Tiger Pulling Force had finally transformed into an external application of Body Refining methods, adding another new technique.

He also intended to merge this pulling and repelling force with his immense strength to achieve a Divine Ability.

However, there were some clever techniques that could be utilized from the newly acquired method, “Six Absolutes Millstone.”

“Let’s go, Senior Sister!” Chen Cuo didn't hesitate. He picked up the three Storage Pouches and intended to leave.

Before they could move, Chen Cuo’s expression changed, and he discovered someone peeking around. He didn't move again, and the other party likewise seemed to be quietly observing them.

“Hahaha, little friend, your Divine Sense is indeed sharp! No wonder you could easily slay the Fanyang Three Friends!”

Chen Cuo sensed that the other party had no ill intent and looked towards where the person was hiding. When that person realized he couldn't hide any longer, he flashed out. It was a tall, elegant young man with a dignified appearance.

Bai Tang heard the familiar voice, and then seeing the person appear, her eyes immediately showed excitement, and she exclaimed loudly: “Father, why are you here?”

The person who arrived was indeed Bai Tang’s father, Bai Luochuan, a Qi Refining Twelfth Layer Cultivator. Compared to the current Bai family head, Bai Luochen, his cultivation was already quite good, and he was also the head of the Bai family's third branch.

Coupled with Bai Tang’s talent, making Foundation Establishment highly probable, Bai Luochuan could be considered to have risen in status due to his daughter, and his influence within the Bai family greatly increased.

Originally, this time, the task of receiving the Immortal Seed was to be handled by Bai Luochuan. However, due to Chen Cuo, Bai Tang was ultimately allowed to participate, which in turn saved the Bai family from suffering losses.

However, when Bai Luochuan and the Bai family heard the news of the Demonic Path invasion, they were truly alarmed. White Jade Orchid herself and the family head Bai Luochen could not move personally, so Bai Luochuan, worried about his daughter, came in person to pick them up.

Although his cultivation was not as high as Bai Tang’s, he had been a merchant for many years and was very familiar with most of the Realms in the West Continent. Moreover, Bai Luochuan was skilled in escape arts and carried protective treasures this time, so White Jade Orchid had no choice but to let him go.

After receiving Bai Tang’s message and knowing she was in Tianbo City, Bai Luochuan arrived just a day ago. However, before he could find his daughter Bai Tang, he heard that the Fanyang Three Friends were stirring, intending to attack two fat sheep.

The Fanyang Three Friends were notorious rogue Cultivators. Their leader, Fan Yang, was a Qi Refining Perfection Cultivator who had roamed various regions of the West Continent for years, killing and plundering, earning a great reputation.

He immediately felt uneasy, vaguely sensing that the Fanyang Three Friends intended to harm Bai Tang, so he quietly hid outside the city, waiting to use his treasures for a sneak attack and rescue Bai Tang if the situation turned bad.

Unexpectedly, Bai Tang acted decisively, and Chen Cuo's methods were astonishing, directly slaying the Fanyang Three Friends, which filled Bai Luochuan with pleasant surprise.

He realized that Chen Cuo had the same cultivation as him, and also saw that Chen Cuo's gaze was directed at the place where he had concealed his aura with a protective treasure. At that moment, he was filled with doubt and surprise. Realizing that Chen Cuo had indeed discovered him, he immediately revealed himself, no longer daring to put on any airs.

Bai Tang was very happy and quickly went to greet him. Chen Cuo put away his Shadowless Sword and Storage Pouch and followed suit.
