Chapter 116 Robbery! Robbery! Robbery!
Chapter 119 Robbery! Robbery! Robbery! (Third Update)
Invading the lair of a Golden Core Demon King is not unheard of, but those attempts were always successful under the guidance of Nascent Soul cultivators; even the Golden Core cultivators of the Six Sects rarely set foot there.
But now, hundreds and thousands of low-level cultivators have flooded into Qingfeng Mountain, frantically slaughtering the mountain's demonic beasts and plundering the Qingluan clan's millennia-long accumulation.
The monsters that hid in the mountains fought back desperately, but how could they be a match for a group of madmen?
Inside the narrow cave, dozens of second- and third-tier talismans easily blasted them into pieces.
"Haha, I never thought I'd be able to infiltrate the home of a Golden Core Demon King!"
"Don't try to take it, it's mine!"
Many of the aristocratic cultivators who entered earlier were already in a bloodthirsty frenzy, stepping over the corpses of their fallen comrades and stuffing everything in sight into their storage bags.
Sometimes, they would even fight with the cultivators around them to snatch a second-tier spiritual herb.
The Zhang family cultivators who had just entered frowned slightly upon seeing this scene, but instead of stepping forward to dissuade them, they quickly ran off in other directions.
Not long after they left, many cultivators from the six sects rushed in. One of them, a Foundation Establishment cultivator who was leading the group, was furious when he saw them and shouted, "Stop it! With a demonic beast right in front of you, instead of killing it, you're fighting amongst yourselves. What kind of behavior is this!"
"Who do you think you are, daring to interfere in my business!"
The cultivators who were scrambling for the spiritual herbs didn't even turn their heads. After cursing, they rejoined the scramble.
Upon seeing this, the Foundation Establishment cultivator immediately summoned a magic weapon and smashed it hard into the man's chest. The cultivator who was sent flying spat out a mouthful of blood and was about to curse again when he saw that the other party was wearing the robes of the Moonflower Palace. He quickly kowtowed and said, "This junior was wrong, this junior knows his mistake, please forgive me, senior."
"That petty person was temporarily blinded by greed!"
"snort!"
The Foundation Establishment cultivator snorted coldly and rebuked, "You are all human cultivators, and now that you are in the Demon King's lair, instead of properly slaying demonic beasts, you are killing each other for a spiritual herb!"
"If this happens again, I will execute him without mercy!"
After saying that, he swept his gaze fiercely over all the cultivators present.
"clear."
Many cultivators were terrified and broke out in a cold sweat, nodding repeatedly as they ran off to other places.
Zhang Xingyao and his group, who were some distance away, also heard the reprimand, but didn't pay much attention to it. Instead, they anxiously asked, "Lingyu, we're already inside, where should we go?"
Their goal, like everyone else's, was to plunder as many rare and precious materials as possible. However, now every corner of Qingfeng Mountain is inhabited by people and demonic beasts, and the good stuff is probably long gone.
Moreover, this place is a maze of passages, and monsters would occasionally appear to block their way. If they lingered any longer, things would get very bad.
"Let's go down!"
Zhang Lingyu sent a message: "Right now, all the cultivators are focused on heading to the Demon King's palace, but how could we Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment cultivators possibly break through the restrictions set up by the Golden Core cultivators? Why don't we go to the less crowded area below and snatch some spiritual herbs to take back?"
He had already inquired with the intelligence system last night. Although there were many good things in Qingfeng Mountain, none of them were things he could get his hands on later.
However, there is a spiritual field on the lower level, where many second- and third-tier spiritual plants are grown for the Qingwan Demon King's clan to cultivate.
Even the various items obtained after killing human cultivators were placed in the lower room.
Zhang Lingyu's plan was to take advantage of the chaos among all the demonic beasts in the mountains and quickly seize all the items, otherwise it would be too late if other cultivators who had reacted got there first.
After nearly fifteen minutes, the group finally saw the spiritual field.
The field in front of them was almost entirely filled with second-tier spiritual herbs, interspersed with a dozen or so third-tier and fourth-tier spiritual plants.
Purple glass flower, red pearl grass, golden feather tree... all of these are extremely rare species.
The only ones responsible for guarding the spirit field were two third-tier Azure Phoenix demon beasts.
"Haha, that's great!"
Just as the rest of the Zhang family were still immersed in the sudden joy, Zhang Xingyao laughed loudly, took out the Five Animal Fire Fan, and summoned a fiery tornado to attack the two demonic beasts.
The young man beside him was not to be outdone. Two Foundation Establishment puppets appeared instantly on the spot, and two Foundation Establishment flying swords were also summoned to cooperate with his clan leader's attack.
Because they suddenly appeared there, the two demonic beasts were somewhat at a loss. It wasn't until the magic was already close to their faces that they realized what was happening and tried to dodge to the side.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
Intense flames enveloped them, instantly igniting their wings. At the same time, two flying swords hurtled in and severed their wings cleanly.
During the fall, they were held tightly by the puppets and could not move. They could only watch as two sword lights, one gold and one red, chopped off their heads.
The battle was over in just over ten breaths, and many of the tribesmen hadn't even had time to react.
Knowing that time was of the essence, Zhang Xingyao immediately ordered, "Xinghao, Seventh Uncle, Tenth Uncle, you take a few clansmen and quickly pack up all these spiritual herbs and anything else you can see! Be quick, Lingyu and I will go check other places first."
"Yes, sir!"
Several family elders, including Zhang Xinghao, were so excited they were speechless. They quickly selected a few of their own family members and immediately stepped forward to collect the numerous spiritual herbs.
However, to prevent any accidents, Zhang Lingyu left the two Foundation Establishment puppets here first, and then left together.
Following the guidance of the intelligence system, the place where the cultivators' belongings were stored was behind a stone door. The two Foundation Establishment cultivators quickly searched the lower level. Fortunately, the demon beasts did not know what hiding was, and since it was in their own lair, they found it without much effort.
"There's a restriction on the door, let's work together."
Zhang Xingyao frowned slightly. Although the restrictions on the door were not strong, it would still take some time to break through them. More importantly, it would make a loud noise that would attract the attention of others nearby.
Everything that goes there will inevitably be distributed.
"Clan leader, have you forgotten the Six Harmonies Forbidden Formation I taught you?"
The boy beside him laughed and said, "With the power of this formation, combined with the attacks from the two of us and our clansmen behind us, breaking it quickly shouldn't be difficult."
"Oh right, how could I have forgotten about that!"
The man slapped his forehead. Just then, Zhang Xinghao and the others gathered the spiritual herbs and rushed over from behind. He immediately ordered, "Everyone, let's break the formation together. Remember, don't hold back."
"yes!"
No one dared to be careless, and they all mustered their magical power to unleash their strongest spells.
"Boom!"
A few breaths later, the restrictions on the stone door could no longer bear the weight and finally shattered. With two Foundation Establishment puppets smashing it with their fists, the stone door cracked into countless dust particles, and various items behind the door appeared before everyone's eyes.
