Chapter 430: Chapter 423: Father Will Avenge Me! (Third Update, Please Subscribe)
The palm came to seize, but in the next moment, the void seemed to be confined.
A great force pressed down, making the magical power in the body dissipate like snow and ice.
The shopkeeper was horrified and was about to activate the token in the Dantian.
In the Dantian, there was a gold medal, capable of unleashing a Nascent Soul strike.
But in the next moment, the gold medal flew out, landing in the palm of that "junior," followed by a faint pressure pressing down.
The shopkeeper wanted to resist, but the strength in his body dissipated by about seventy to eighty percent, and with a thud, he knelt to the ground.
"Senior, spare me!"
The shopkeeper immediately spoke, realizing despite his sluggish thinking that the "second-generation cultivator" in front of him, this "fat sheep," was a Nascent Soul True Monarch.
Only a Nascent Soul True Monarch could suppress him in a single thought.
He couldn’t help but complain bitterly in his heart, like a hunter blinded by his prey.
Before every robbery, he would carefully investigate and analyze the target to determine the opponent’s information before making a move, always with great caution.
Yet still, he failed.
"Interesting!"
Lu Xuanji laughed, "What is your name, fellow Daoist?"
"Junior, just an insignificant little cultivator from the Li Family, please spare me, senior!"
The shopkeeper said, immediately trembling and kowtowing on the ground.
The sound of his kowtowing against the ground made a humming noise.
He appeared timid and afraid to die.
Lu Xuanji frowned slightly but felt the shopkeeper’s heartbeat was steady, his breathing extremely normal; the trembling appearance was just a disguise.
In fact, it was precisely that.
Upon reaching the Golden Core Realm, one has lived for hundreds of years with exceptional mental resilience, possessing top-notch emotional and intellectual quotients. Or, even if one’s mental realm is poor, after centuries of tempering, one has become calm and wise.
While those with poor mental realms would have long perished under the Golden Core Three Tribulations.
"Senior, this is my Storage Bag. I’m willing to buy back my life!"
The shopkeeper, still trembling, handed over the Storage Bag.
"Interesting!"
Lu Xuanji laughed and waved his hand to take the Storage Bag.
In the next moment, the Storage Bag vibrated slightly and exploded, its destructive power tearing and obliterating everything, akin to a lethal strike from a Nascent Soul Cultivator.
The destructive thunder power swept and shredded everything within a ten-mile radius.
"Escape!"
In the next instant, the shopkeeper turned into a stream of light, fleeing for his life.
In just a moment, he was twenty miles away.
"The Blood Killing Divine Thunder can only seriously injure, not kill him; it’d be best to escape to a major city!" The shopkeeper, his spirits aghast, took out the Teleportation Jade Talisman with his right hand, intending to activate it for long-distance teleportation and flee.
In the next moment, a long saber appeared, slicing towards his wrist.
Immediately, the wrist was severed, falling to the ground.
The Teleportation Jade Talisman also fell into the hands of a certain cultivator.
"A gold medal for saving your life, Blood Killing Divine Thunder, Teleportation Jade Talisman; quite a few life-saving methods you have, what other means do you have?" Lu Xuanji laughed, his expression indifferent with a hint of mockery.
"Senior, spare me!"
The shopkeeper spoke.
"Swoosh!"
In the next moment, a flash of saber light, snuffing out all vitality.
In the shopkeeper’s eyes was anger and unwillingness, but more so, resignation.
"I..."
He wanted to say, my father will avenge me!
But before he could finish, the shopkeeper fell to the ground.
At this moment, a scarlet mark flew from the shopkeeper’s body, heading towards Lu Xuanji’s form.
"Nine-Colored Divine Saber, slay!"
Lu Xuanji drove the long saber to strike, accompanied by a flash of saber light, slaying the scarlet mark. Immediately, the scarlet mark shattered. "Bloodline Tracking Mark! If you kill a Li Family cultivator, you’ll be marked with a bloodline mark, allowing enemies to locate you and send strong pursuers!"
Sensing the blood-colored mark, Lu Xuanji secretly felt fortunate.
Such a blood-colored mark cannot be removed by an ordinary Golden Core cultivator or a weaker Nascent Soul cultivator.
Only because of his superior skills, ruthless means, could he sever the blood-colored mark with one cut.
Swoosh, swoosh!
Lu Xuanji stepped forward to loot the corpse.
After searching, he found another Storage Bag.
This Storage Bag actually contained various treasures.
Just as he was about to open the Storage Bag, the array patterns inside suddenly surged, and the Storage Bag exploded, destruction engulfing him, leaving him ashen-faced and in disarray.
"Cough, cough!"
After coughing once, Lu Xuanji muttered, "This Storage Bag is another bomb!"
"The Storage Bag of Li Family cultivators has a specific method to open if the method is incorrect, the Storage Bag will burst, and the treasures and resources inside will all shatter, preventing the treasures from falling into enemy hands after one’s demise," Jin Xi explained.
Lu Xuanji then remembered the record he had seen in a booklet, stating that the Li Family of a certain cultivator clan had once developed a secure Storage Bag to protect their assets.
In essence, it’s similar to a safe.
If you have the password, you can open the safe; if the password fails to match, the safe will detonate a bomb to destroy everything inside the safe.
"The Li Family is really unscrupulous!"
Lu Xuanji cursed, intending to search the bodies for treasures but never anticipated the Storage Bag would explode.
Since entering the Cultivation Immortality Realm, he has encountered countless enemies, killed numerous opponents, yet none of their Storage Bags had a password. Simply kill the enemy, and you can easily obtain the treasures inside, but the Li Family is the exception.
Lu Xuanji was somewhat agitated and was about to ignite the corpse with Pure Yang True Flame.
But remembering it might expose his identity, he quickly transformed it into another Spiritual Fire to incinerate, turning the body to ashes in a few breaths.
As the wind blew, the dust scattered away.
He then activated a Token, which immediately unleashed a devastating Sword Qi, comparable to that of the Third Layer Nascent Soul.
Rumble, rumble, rumble!
The void exploded, the Sword Qi sharp and condensed, with tremendous destructive power.
The Sword Qi tore the ground, creating a massive chasm.
As the Sword Qi was released, the golden Token shattered on the spot.
"Let’s go!"
Lu Xuanji said.
Jin Xi nodded, and the two drove the golden escape light, disappearing without a trace.
...
Only a quarter of an hour later did a cultivator discover the anomaly here.
Soon after, the report was made, and the message was passed up the chain.
Three days later, a Nascent Soul True Monarch from the Li Family received the news.
"Son, you died a miserable death! As your father, I will avenge your grievances!" In the great hall of the Li Family, there was a coffin containing no body, only some clothing and an official hat.
A man in black stood before the tomb, gritting his teeth as he spoke.
"You think erasing traces, leaving without a trace, means I can’t find you? How can the matter end so easily?"
The murderer was very clever, erasing all traces.
But through the movement of cultivators and the patterns of certain cultivators’ actions, he identified the appropriate targets and found some suspects.
