23: Chapter 23 A Thousandfold Critical Strike, Mid-Grade Spirit Armor

"The entire eastern region of the mountain range has been locked down?"

Bai Yunzhou frowned slightly.

The wuling fruit he needed to retrieve was located right in the eastern part of the mountain range.

Now that the area was sealed off, how was he supposed to get the wuling fruit?

Suddenly, he remembered that when he previously saw Sun Yu's Opportunity, the prompt indicated that the other party would retrieve it three days later.

Which was tomorrow.

Since Sun Yu could get it, why couldn't he?

Soon, Bai Yunzhou came up with two hypotheses.

One was that the blockade of the eastern district might not be completely airtight, leaving some places accessible.

After all, the Baiduan Mountain Range stretched for hundreds of kilometers, and even just the eastern district had a considerable area.

Furthermore, for a Cultivator Family without even a Core Formation expert, even if they locked down the entire eastern district, the blockade could hardly be comprehensive.

Of course, there was another possibility.

That was, Sun Yu managed to enter by relying on his status as an Inner Sect Disciple of the Qingxuan Sect.

As the top power within a radius of ten thousand li, the Qingxuan Sect naturally bestowed an extraordinary status upon its Inner Sect Disciples.

Given the influence of the Qin Family, they presumably wouldn't dare to block him.

Thinking of this, Bai Yunzhou relaxed and prepared to proceed according to his original plan.

If he really encountered people from the Qin Family blocking the way, he would just reveal his identity then.

Several hours later.

The eastern district of the Baiduan Mountain Range.

"As expected, it's impossible for the Qin Family to lock down the entire eastern district!"

Bai Yunzhou flew over on his Flying Sword the entire way without encountering any obstacles at all.

Afterwards, based on Tian You's Opportunity prompt, he began searching for the Immortal Cave where the spiritual armor was located.

Before long, he found the location of that Immortal Cave.

And he obtained a damaged silvery-white spirit armor.

Immediately following this, a prompt emerged.

[You have obtained a Low Grade spirit armor, successfully plundered Tian You's Opportunity, triggered a thousand-fold critical strike, and obtained a Medium Grade spirit armor!]

Medium Grade spirit armor!

Seeing the prompt appear, Bai Yunzhou wore a joyful expression.

You must know that even a fragmentary Low Grade Spiritual Artifact could be comparable in value to a Top-Tier Magical Artifact.

Therefore, a complete Low Grade Spiritual Artifact was usually worth around thirty to fifty thousand Spirit Stones.

As for a Medium Grade Spiritual Artifact, its value would at least double or triple, meaning roughly around one hundred thousand.

"I didn't expect that coming out for a trip, before even getting the wuling fruit, I've already made one hundred thousand Spirit Stones!"

Bai Yunzhou hurriedly took off his outer garment and put the armor on his body.

The moment this spirit armor was put on, it automatically adjusted according to his figure, becoming exceptionally snug.

"As expected of spirit armor, it truly seems to possess spiritual intelligence."

Bai Yunzhou was extremely satisfied with this spirit armor in his heart.

Just as he was preparing to put his outer garment back on, an exclamation suddenly came from the entrance of the Immortal Cave.

"Medium Grade spirit armor!"

Bai Yunzhou, who was about to put on his outer garment, looked toward the source of the sound and discovered that there were actually two Cultivators standing at the entrance, staring intently at the spirit armor on his body.

Based on the panels of those two people, he already knew the identity of the newcomers—they were both Disciples of the Qin Family.

One was named Qin Ye, possessing Qi Refining Ninth Layer cultivation.

The other person was called Qin Fei, possessing Foundation Establishment Early Stage cultivation.

At this moment, the Cultivator named Qin Fei reacted first, pointing at Bai Yunzhou and questioning him.

"Brat, this place has already been sealed off by our Qin Family, how did you get in!"

Not long ago, the Clan Chief learned through the Tianji Pavilion that there was an Opportunity to break through to Core Formation in this eastern district.

Therefore, he ordered the Qin Family Disciples to completely blockade the entire eastern district.

And these two of them were the Qin Family Disciples responsible for patrolling this area.

"Second Brother, I think he must be a spy from the demonic path; just butcher him, why waste words with him!"

Qin Ye, standing aside, looked at the Medium Grade spirit armor on Bai Yunzhou's body, greed flashing in his eyes.

After all, spirit armor was already exorbitant in value to begin with, let alone a Medium Grade spirit armor!

Qin Fei, standing beside him, was clearly stunned after hearing these words, and then he also reacted.

If he could butcher the other party, wouldn't that Medium Grade spirit armor fall into his hands?

With the help of this Medium Grade spirit armor, his strength would inevitably receive a huge boost.

By then, his status within the Family would also rise.

Thinking of this, a look of greed also appeared in his eyes.

However, he was older after all, and still maintained some rationality.

Knowing that the other party possessed a Top-Tier spirit armor, he feared the person had quite a background.

If he offended someone who shouldn't be offended because of this, it might bring unnecessary trouble to the Qin Family.

Thinking of this, he prepared to test the other party's tone first.

Thus, he forcefully suppressed the greed in his heart, looked at the other party, and asked.

"This Fellow Daoist, quickly state your origins. If you are truly not a demonic Cultivator, I can send you on your way."

Qin Fei's attitude was sincere.

But Bai Yunzhou was no fool and had already seen through the other party's intentions.

He sneered in his heart, but still replied aloud.

"I am Sun Yu, an Inner Sect Disciple of the Qingxuan Sect."

Since he was hiding his identity now, he naturally wouldn't reveal his real name.

Upon hearing him confess his identity, a trace of regret couldn't help flashing across the depths of Qin Fei's eyes.

At the same time, he also rejoiced in his heart that he hadn't directly attacked.

After all, if he really butchered an Inner Sect Disciple of the Qingxuan Sect, his Qin Family would inevitably encounter big trouble.

However, letting go of the fat meat that had reached his mouth just like that made him somewhat unwilling.

Thus, he spoke again.

"Then may I ask Fellow Daoist Sun Yu if you could take out your identity token for me to confirm."

So cautious... Although Bai Yunzhou was indeed an Inner Sect Disciple of the Qingxuan Sect, he was not Sun Yu.

How could he possibly take out Sun Yu's identity token?

Seeing this, Qin Fei's expression also gradually turned cold.

"Could it be that Fellow Daoist cannot produce an identity token?"

Bai Yunzhou thought for a moment, then said.

"I was in a rush when I went out, and forgot to bring it!"

Hearing this, Qin Fei suddenly sneered.

"It seems my third brother was right, you really are a demonic Cultivator!"

"To actually dare to impersonate a Qingxuan Sect Disciple to deceive me, it seems today I must exterminate you, this Devil Head!"

Qin Fei let out an angry shout, quickly summoned his Flying Sword, and slashed toward Bai Yunzhou with a single sword strike.

Seeing this, Bai Yunzhou's expression sank.

What demonic Cultivator!

These two from the Qin Family were obviously driven by greed upon seeing wealth, wanting to kill people and seize treasures!

Yet one in the Foundation Establishment Early Stage and one at the Qi Refining Ninth Layer dared to draw their swords in front of him—simply courting death!

Bai Yunzhou's expression sank further as he raised his hand and threw a punch forward.

Seeing that the other party was actually delusional enough to block his sword with bare fists, mockery instantly flashed in Qin Fei's eyes.

Originally, seeing that the other party possessed a Medium Grade spirit armor, he had been somewhat apprehensive.

But looking at it now, he had obviously overthought things.

The other party had clearly just stumbled upon blind luck to obtain such a great treasure.

Since that was the case, he would gladly accept this Medium Grade spirit armor.

However, just as he was thinking this, the other party's fist had already smashed toward his Flying Sword.

"Clang!"

To his shock, his Flying Sword was actually shattered by a single punch from the other party.

This single blow directly scared Qin Fei witless.

Although this wasn't a Top-Tier Flying Sword, it had reached the High Grade level.

How could it possibly be smashed to pieces by a Cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Early Stage using just his fists?

"Bang!"

The remaining force of Bai Yunzhou's fist smashed onto Qin Fei's arm, directly sending him flying backward.

His arm's bones were even shattered from the impact.

The intense pain instantly snapped Qin Fei back to reality.

He knew he had run into a tough character this time.

"Wait, this Fellow Daoist, it's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding! I am Qin Fei of the Qin Family, let's talk this out nicely."

"A misunderstanding?"

Bai Yunzhou sneered.

"Before you attacked, you said I was a demonic Cultivator, and now you call me a Fellow Daoist—doesn't that mean you are also a demonic Cultivator?"

"What I hate most in my life are demonic Cultivators!"

Bai Yunzhou gave Qin Fei no chance to apologize at all, rushing straight in front of him and throwing another punch, making him quiet down completely.

Qin Ye on the side was already scared out of his wits.

This Second Brother of his was an expert among the young generation of the Family, and furthermore a Foundation Establishment Early Stage Cultivator.

He never expected that under the other party's two punches, he would perish on the spot!

Regaining his wits, he turned around and ran, while simultaneously sending out a call for help to other Cultivators of the Family.

Right now, the vicinity of the eastern district was full of Qin Family Cultivators; as long as he held out for at most ten breaths, he could be saved.

However!

With Bai Yunzhou's current strength, let alone ten breaths.

He couldn't even last a single breath!

After resolving both of them, Bai Yunzhou dared not linger, hurriedly grabbing their Storage Pouches and swiftly leaving from the cave entrance.

Shortly after he left, several more Qin Family Disciples appeared in the Immortal Cave.

"It's Qin Fei and Qin Ye!"

Fourth Elder Qin Yunfan looked at the bodies of the two, instantly recognizing their identities as lineal Disciples, and flew into an immediate rage.

"Give chase! It has been no more than ten breaths since Qin Ye sent the message; the murderer certainly hasn't run far!"

"Also, notify all other members near the Family to join the search and capture!"

"Those who dare to kill my Qin Family's lineal descendants—once I catch this person, I will definitely make life worse than death for him."
