154: Chapter 154 Rakshasa Woman

Boom!

Amidst the rumbling sounds, the figures of Zhang Yuan and the Refined Corpse gradually faded into the distance, quickly disappearing from everyone's sight, though the sounds of their battle could still faintly be heard.

On the scene, after Zhang Yuan's earlier voice faded, an eerie silence fell. Only countless gazes, mixed with greed, stared in the direction where Ning Yuan stood.

It was as if everyone was brewing something. A sense of murderous intent silently spread, creating a heavy and strange atmosphere.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

After the quiet lasted for a while, someone finally couldn't hold back and charged towards Ning Yuan first. This movement immediately shattered the strange atmosphere, and countless profit-driven people followed, rushing forward like a pack of hungry wolves hunting prey.

"Just a bunch of clowns!"

Watching the figures attacking from all directions, Ning Yuan curled his lips into a cold smile. His hand suddenly gripped the sword hilt, and as his arm swept, countless Sword Qi shot out in all directions like a torrential rain.

"Master, we'll help you!"

The Three Sisters, who had been following closely, all spoke in unison. Before their words even finished, they took out their respective Magic Treasures and activated their powers to launch attacks in all directions.

Previously, with their strength, they couldn't have been of much help, so they had been watching the show. Now, facing these Cultivators of the same Realm, if they didn't act, it would be hard to justify.

Ever since following Ning Yuan, they had lacked nothing in cultivation resources like Cultivation Techniques, Magic Treasures, Medicinal Pills, etc. Their strength had advanced by leaps and bounds, making them top-tier existences within their Realm.

Ah! Ah! Ah!

Those who charged the fastest also died the fastest. The overwhelming Sword Qi sliced them into pieces. Severed limbs and broken arms fell from the sky one after another, dyeing the azure sea water blood red.

Some with weaker cultivation bases even exploded directly into bloody mist, not even leaving a whole corpse behind. The bloody mist filling the sky was like blooming fireworks, appearing extremely brilliant yet sinister.

The Three Sisters Riyuexing acted with equal ruthlessness, showing no mercy. Various Magic Treasures and Talismans flew everywhere, causing the besieging crowd to die on the spot before they could even get close.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Ning Yuan directly charged into the formation, his longsword constantly thrusting out. With each sword strike, one person died. Relying on his sharp footwork, he rapidly dodged numerous attacks, causing them all to miss.

After darting to another spot, he continued to strike without pause. No one was a match for him. Under such slaughter, the death toll rose rapidly... fifty, one hundred, two hundred, three hundred... When the death toll exceeded five hundred, the crowd finally realized what kind of monster they were facing. Many were so frightened their legs trembled, with fear deeply imprinted in their hearts.

Engaging in such intense combat and still remaining completely unscathed—how could someone like that be someone they could handle?

Many began to retreat, unwilling to continue. The bounty was tempting, but one needed to be alive to spend it.

"Scared now? It's too late. From the moment you made your move, your fate was sealed, and that is... death!"

Ning Yuan stood in mid-air, gazing distantly at the crowd. His eyes were utterly calm, as if the one who had just engaged in a great massacre wasn't him. Yet, his words inexplicably sent a chill through everyone's hearts.

A tremendous sense of fear enveloped the crowd, impacting the minds of everyone present like towering waves, making their very Souls tremble as if the person before them had transformed into a primordial beast.

Under immense pressure, some couldn't bear it psychologically. Without any hesitation, they immediately turned and transformed into streaks of light, preparing to flee. Any thought of obtaining the bounty was completely gone.

Seeing people begin to flee, the expressions of the others instantly changed. One after another, they immediately exerted all their strength, transforming into rainbows scattering in all directions, fearing they would be even a moment slower.

Splash!

But how could they escape? The moment they moved, a gray light flashed in Ning Yuan's eyes. The crowd only felt a sharp pain in their minds before losing consciousness. Their corpses plummeted straight into the sea, stirring up sprays of water.

Ning Yuan swept his gaze around. After the round of mass slaughter, the surrounding sea area was now empty. Next, he just needed to deal with Zhang Yuan, and this matter would be settled!

Once word of this battle spread, when walking within the Jinan Sea Domain afterwards, there probably wouldn't be any more fools who didn't know better. They'd likely flee at the sight of Ning Yuan.

Not long after, the Three Sisters also finished off their opponents and returned together to Ning Yuan's side. Just as the three women were about to boast to Ning Yuan about their respective battle achievements, a light chuckle suddenly sounded:

"Truly extraordinary strength. No wonder Fellow Daoist Zhang had to notify me to come assist!"

A Red-haired Old Man slowly revealed his form, his gaze playfully looking at Ning Yuan and the others. The Aura of a Peak Soul Transformation stage cultivator was released without any concealment.

Seeing the Red-haired Old Man appear, Ning Yuan and the others were taken aback, thinking to themselves: Another one coming to die?

Naturally unaware of Ning Yuan's thoughts, the Red-haired Old Man spoke again to himself:

"Carrying a Void Refining level Refined Corpse and possessing a Spiritual Sense Cultivation Method... your background must be significant!"

"How about we make a deal? If you're willing to hand over the Spiritual Sense Cultivation Method, I can pretend I never saw you. How about it?"

This was his true purpose. As he said, someone like Ning Yuan was not someone he could afford to offend. He had no grudge with Ning Yuan, so there was no need to get himself involved for the sake of Zhang Yuan's worthless son.

If he killed Ning Yuan, it wouldn't be long before the people behind him came knocking. So, it was better to seek benefits for himself.

He had also just witnessed the power of the Divine Sense attack Ning Yuan displayed, which made him covetous, hence this proposal.

Hearing this, Ning Yuan's eyes instantly took on a strange look. If Zhang Yuan knew that the helper he called for wanted to make a deal with his enemy, he wondered if Zhang Yuan would lament entrusting the wrong person.

However, the Red-haired Old Man making such a choice wasn't strange. After all, people in the Rakshasa Alliance were all of such character.

The Rakshasa Alliance was merely a pirate organization founded under the lead of the Rakshasi Woman. Its structure was extremely loose, with no rules to speak of. It couldn't really be considered a proper faction, just a group of pirates huddling together for warmth to avoid being wiped out.

After all, being pirates meant offending countless people. Without some backing, the grass on their graves would have been three feet high long ago.

So, when there were benefits, everyone rushed in together. When there were none, no one obeyed anyone. If it weren't for the Rakshasi Woman holding things down internally and the powerful forces of various sea domains watching covetously from outside, the Rakshasa Alliance would have disbanded long ago.

It was said the Rakshasi Woman was an Integration Stage Cultivator, which gave her the ability to unite all the pirates of the outer seas. Otherwise, with them being a bunch of unruly and powerful pirates, who would listen to her?

The Rakshasa Alliance internally also established ten Elder seats. Each Elder possessed Void Refining cultivation, commanding countless powerful subordinates, controlling vast sea domains, and possessing astonishing wealth!

The Jinan Sea Domain was the territory of the Ninth Elder. Both Zhang Yuan and the Red-haired Old Man were under the Ninth Elder's command.
