Second Episode, Chapter 17: Plundering the City
Heartshadow Sect Master stood on the mountain peak, watching the vast Huyang City.
Seeing the dim formation enveloping the entire city, Heartshadow Sect Master's eyes were cold, and he said indifferently, "Begin the plundering plan. Let's make a good profit from Huyang City."
"Yes."
The three elders behind him responded excitedly and quickly left to carry out the plundering plan.
Heartshadow Sect Master looked at the city and murmured, "Since losing the sect's foundation, Heartshadow Sect has lost its income. All along, we have been consuming the sect's past savings."
A powerful sect with thousands of Eternal True Gods, countless Void True Gods, and countless True God disciples has very high consumption every era.
They could withstand it for a short time, but over time, resources would be exhausted, and Heartshadow Sect would continue to split.
"Plundering a large Yang City once is equivalent to collecting residence fees for dozens of eras." Heartshadow Sect Master pondered, "Although the odds of winning this war are quite high, if Marquis Jiujiang invites sufficiently powerful help, my Heartshadow Sect may still be defeated."
Relying solely on the forces of Marquis Jiujiang is indeed inferior to Heartshadow Sect.
But if a god-king from Yu State sends elites to support Marquis Jiujiang, it would be a big problem.
"Protect the elites of Heartshadow Sect and plunder a large sum. Even if we are defeated, we will still profit," Heartshadow Sect Master thought.
When the sect is weak, he doesn't care if mediocre disciples die. Mediocre disciples dying can even save expenses.
"I wonder how much we can plunder from the entire Huyang City," Heartshadow Sect Master's eyes were full of anticipation.
Nine super-large mechanical treasures, carrying hundreds of large airships, arrived at a prosperous commercial area of Yang City. There were branches of large forces, as well as large shops selling weapons, treasures, and bloodline wonders, and many places of enjoyment.
"Except for the eight branches of major forces and the Luohe God Lord's cave dwelling, no Eternal True Gods or Void True Gods will be spared." A voice conveyed, "Those who dare to resist, die!"
"Yes." The many disciples on the hundreds of large airships were excited.
They knew very well that the most numerous in the entire city were True Gods, but True Gods were the poorest. They worked hard for a few chaos crystals and were unwilling to take risks. They would earn more after spending the chaos crystals.
There were too many True Gods in the entire city to plunder. Secondly, the plundering harvest was small, averaging only a few chaos crystals per True God. Thirdly, Heartshadow Sect might rule Yang City in the future! The countless True Gods of Yang City would be their people.
For many reasons, they did not attack the True Gods.
But except for the eight branches of major forces and the Luohe God Lord's cave dwelling, Heartshadow Sect would not spare any Eternal True Gods or Void True Gods.
Most of the wealth in a city is in the hands of Eternal True Gods and Void True Gods.
"Complete blockade." A large number of disciples quickly blocked a branch of a major force, "Cloud Treasure Pavilion." The Cloud Treasure Pavilion occupied a vast area, with many pavilions displaying a large number of treasures.
"What are you doing?"
"We are the Huyang City branch of Cloud Treasure Pavilion. Are you going to attack us?"
The Cloud Treasure Pavilion branch had three Eternal True Gods and many Void True God members, who were shocked to see the many Heartshadow Sect disciples surrounding them.
"Cloud Treasure Pavilion branch," a blood-clothed woman from Heartshadow Sect walked in and sighed, "My Heartshadow Sect has been poor for too long, so please help Cloud Treasure Pavilion. All treasures in the Cloud Treasure Pavilion branch, including all the treasures on your bodies... hand them all over."
Her voice was soft, but the content made the Cloud Treasure Pavilion's pavilion master, deputy pavilion masters, and all other members feel chilled.
"Not even a chaos stone can be left behind." The blood-clothed woman said indifferently, "Heartshadow Sect will personally search your entire body. Those who resist, die!"
The Cloud Treasure Pavilion master, two deputy pavilion masters, and many Void True God members felt terrified and desperate.
They worked for Cloud Treasure Pavilion to accumulate resources.
Now all the resources were being plundered.
"The Cloud Treasure Pavilion branch belongs to my Marquis," the Cloud Treasure Pavilion master said anxiously, his huge single eye full of anxiety, "The Marquis will definitely know about this."
"Your Marquis knows, and I'm sure he will understand our Heartshadow Sect," the blood-clothed woman said.
"Is it too much to hand over all the treasures and not leave a single chaos stone?" A Void True God couldn't help but say, they had accumulated so much over a long period, and now it was all being taken away.
They had the idea of fighting desperately.
The blood-clothed woman glanced at them, and a group of Void True God members in that area instantly turned into dust silently, all of them dead, leaving only weapons and treasures behind.
"A Void True God dares to interrupt?" The blood-clothed woman looked at the three pavilion masters of Cloud Treasure Pavilion, "Are you going to resist?"
"I'll hand it over." One of the deputy pavilion masters said anxiously, "I'm willing to hand it over. Can you not search my body?"
"You must be searched." The blood-clothed woman looked at the three of them, "Those who resist will still die!"
The so-called body search was to have the other party use divine power to penetrate and search the entire body, including the 'True God's Heart'! This was completely handing over one's life to the other party, and few Eternal True Gods were willing to do so.
But faced with the threat of death, the three pavilion masters of Cloud Treasure Pavilion finally bowed their heads.
"You must be searched." A simple old man looked at the Heartshadow Sect disciples in front of him, and then at the super-large mechanical treasure in the sky, "Can't I voluntarily hand over all the accumulated treasures?"
"You must be searched." The Eternal True God of Heartshadow Sect looked at him.
If it were entirely voluntary, most cultivators would probably hide treasures, and it would be good if they handed over half of them.
"Alas, I just wanted to live a peaceful life in my hometown, but you had to force me." The simple old man sighed, instantly turning into a black shadow and whistling past. Wherever he passed, dozens of disciples, including the Eternal True God, died instantly.
"Hmm?" The super-large mechanical treasure in the sky was immediately shocked, "Kill him."
"Buzz!"
The dim formation in the sky had already erupted, and terrifying dim power enveloped the black shadow.
"Heartshadow Sect, I have been traveling the Origin Continent until now, and no one has ever been able to search my body!" The simple old man was extremely mad, and with the sound echoing in all directions, the black shadow had already disappeared."Escaped? I didn't expect that besides the River God of Huoyang City, there was also a hidden expert." The super-large mechanical treasure in the high sky couldn't detect the target and immediately contacted the Heart Shadow Sect Master, "Sect Master, a powerful enemy has appeared. We need to use causal tracking to lock onto the murderer."
The Heart Shadow Sect immediately went into operation, starting to hunt down the simple old man. Having formed such a causal link and been locked onto by the sect's formation, it was easy for the Heart Shadow Sect to trace him causally.
Just a moment later.
The super-large mechanical treasure controlled by the Elder Commander, a massive plant life, wielded countless vines, countless vines like a net, strangling the wisp of black shadow. The black shadow struggled to resist.
"So be it, in the end, I die in my hometown. It's not a loss to kill a thousand Heart Shadow Sect disciples before I die." In the end, the black shadow was completely annihilated, leaving only some treasures behind.
"Hmph, not everyone is qualified to provoke the Heart Shadow Sect." The massive plant life was filled with murderous intent. Relying on the super-large mechanical treasure, as one of the eighteen elders, its bursting power was already comparable to that of a Core Eye Elder.
The headquarters of the dark force 'Thousand Mountain Pavilion'.
"All the treasures of all the Pavilion Masters of my Thousand Mountain Pavilion have to be given to you?" Facing the two super-large mechanical treasures suspended in the high sky and the numerous Heart Shadow Sect disciples surrounding them, the seven Pavilion Masters and many Void True Gods of the Thousand Mountain Pavilion were all shocked and angry.
As a dark force, they were the ones who did the looting, when had they ever been looted like this?
"Hand over everything, and we have to search your bodies," said a man in green.
"Still searching our bodies?" The seven Pavilion Masters were shocked and angry. "Even if the five major families ruled the entire city, they would still give us some face."
"In the future, Huoyang City will be ruled by my Heart Shadow Sect. My Heart Shadow Sect's territory doesn't need any dark forces," the green-clothed man said indifferently.
Cities ruled by the Heart Shadow Sect.
Apart from the branches of major forces, all other commercial forces and local family forces were established by Heart Shadow Sect disciples.
Forces like the Black Butcher, Dream Flower Pavilion Master, and the Zhu Clan, which could be relatively independent, could not exist in the territory of the Heart Shadow Sect. The Heart Shadow Sect's control over a city far surpassed that of the City Lord's Mansion.
The seven Pavilion Masters of the Thousand Mountain Pavilion looked at each other.
"We are willing to hand over everything, but you can't search our bodies," one of the Pavilion Masters said.
The green-clothed man smiled faintly and glanced to the left. A large group of Thousand Mountain Pavilion members instantly turned into powder, including Suo Yun.
"I..." Suo Yun was cautious in the Thousand Mountain Pavilion's group, but when the green-clothed man glanced here, he felt his True God Heart disintegrating. At this moment, he understood that he was going to die.
Before he could think too much, he was completely annihilated.
A weakling died just like that, without saying a word or resisting.
Back then, he and Suo Zi left the tribe and were saved by Luo Feng before they successfully arrived at Yang City. In Yang City, he and Suo Zi took different paths. He tried every means to seize every opportunity, even doing many things that violated the rules, not hesitating to risk his life.
But Suo Zi was content to learn the art of cooking at the Fire Realm Eatery. Five eras ago, he was even taken to the royal capital by Her Royal Highness 'Yu Shui Tian Yu' along with his master, the Black Butcher.
And today, Suo Yun died silently.
No one even noticed.
"You..." The seven Pavilion Masters of the Thousand Mountain Pavilion were shocked and angry.
"This is a warning. If you talk back, the seven of you will die," the green-clothed man looked at them.
The seven Pavilion Masters of the Thousand Mountain Pavilion could only endure.
"Okay." The seven Pavilion Masters could only lower their heads and let the Heart Shadow Sect disciples search their bodies, taking away all their treasures, not even leaving them a single Chaos Stone.
Throughout Huoyang City, except for the City Lord's Mansion, the eight branches of major forces, and Luo Feng's cave, all other Eternal True Gods and Void True Gods were being plundered, and none could escape.
Those who angrily resisted such looting were killed. The vast majority could only endure being looted, the difference in strength was simply too great.
"What's going on?" Sitting on the mountain peak of his cave, Luo Feng also noticed Heart Shadow Sect disciples scattered all over the city, with large flying ships and super-large treasures in action.
"River God of Luo," suddenly the Dream Flower Pavilion Master contacted him, "The Heart Shadow Sect has sealed off the Dream Flower Pavilion and is going to completely plunder it. They also want to search my body."
"Search your body?" Luo Feng was shocked.
Searching the body of an Eternal True God would naturally involve searching the True God Heart.
"First, mention my name to delay them for a while," Luo Feng transmitted, "If it really doesn't work, don't resist. I'll come over now."
"Okay." At this moment, the Dream Flower Pavilion Master could only hope that the River God of Luo would help.
He needed the Dream Flower Pavilion Master's music and illusions to cultivate the Seven Emotions Heart Refining Technique. Moreover, due to his friendship with Shang Tianyan, he had to help the Dream Flower Pavilion Master.
"Master, Master."
Mo Yu Qingyan swooshed to the mountain peak, his eyes red, anxious and desperate, "Master, my younger brother, Mo Yu Liuxing, is dead."
"Dead?" Luo Feng was shocked. Of the three Mo Yu brothers, that little guy called 'Mo Yu Liuxing' had a lot of talent in refining weapons. He even met him in Tianyan Gate.
Over the long years, the eldest and third of the Mo Yu family occasionally came to see their brother, bringing gifts, and Luo Feng was quite familiar with the three Mo Yu brothers.
"The Heart Shadow Sect is wantonly slaughtering disciples of the former Tianyan Gate, forcing other Void True Gods to obediently hand over their treasures after being searched. My brother was killed just for saying a single sentence," Mo Yu Qingyan was stunned at the moment.
The three brothers grew up in Huoyang City, and now, his brother was gone just like that?
Although he knew that there were many dangers on the path of growth, when his brother was really gone, Mo Yu Qingyan felt that a part of his world was missing, leaving him feeling empty.
"River God of Luo," Luo Feng received another plea for help.
"Elder Qiu." Luo Feng knew that Uncle Qiu was Shang Tianyan's old servant, and many affairs of the Tianyan Gate were handled by Uncle Qiu.
"River God of Luo, please, save the disciples of the Tianyan Gate." Uncle Qiu had always been unwilling to disturb the River God of Luo, but this time he was anxious, "When the Tianyan Gate disbanded, many disciples of the Tianyan Gate went their separate ways, and some established weapon refining shops, the largest of which are the Nine Great Weapon Refining Shops."
"This time, the Heart Shadow Sect is looting all Void True Gods, not letting a single one go. And they are slaughtering anyone who is even slightly dissatisfied. Many disciples have been killed," Uncle Qiu said anxiously, "I know that the God is also in a difficult position, but I only ask the God to save the nine weapon refining shops."
Mo Luo Sa instantly arrived beside him. He looked at Mo Yu Qingyan: "What did you say? Your brother is dead? Was it the little guy who came to deliver food last time?"
"He was killed by the Heart Shadow Sect," Mo Yu Qingyan nodded. He couldn't accept it at the moment."Master, what are you waiting for!" Moro Sa looked at Luo Feng. (End of this chapter) (Mingzhiwu Chinese has no pop-up windows and updates in a timely manner)
