Cultivation towards immortality, starting from being a fisherman

Chapter 69: Chapter 69: The Strongest King Accidentally Enters the Bronze Battlefield!

“Are you saying that there are also a good number of Sealing Magic Artifacts being transported this time?”

Su Ping skipped over the self-reproach from the other party and directly asked about the issue that had caught his attention.

“Yes, several major cities near Golden Sword City did not hold the Magic Meeting of Little Golden Light Temple.”

“However, the nobles here also wish to contribute to the grand cause of driving out evil spirits, and they’re willing to lend their strength.”

“So, after consulting with the monks from Little Golden Light Temple, our side and some other places plan to send some Sealing Magic Artifacts over.”

“Our Ji Family’s caravan happened to be coming this way, so we took the opportunity to transport them, but we did not expect…”

Ji Kui hurriedly responded to clarify.

Upon hearing about the Sealing Magic Artifacts, and perhaps not just a few!

Su Ping couldn’t help but be moved by this.

After learning that Merit Steles could be conveniently exchanged, he had previously set his sights on obtaining Sealing Magic Artifacts and even considered how to acquire them from various channels.

He hadn’t expected an opportunity to present itself so soon.

And these were Sealing Magic Artifacts whose exact numbers would be difficult for outsiders to estimate!

In the brief contact just now, Su Ping had discovered that with his cultivation at the Sixth Layer of Qi Cultivation and Fifth Layer of Body Refining, and being blessed with one-tenth of a Sacred Body, he was:

In this region scarce with Spiritual Energy, like the strongest king who had mistakenly entered the bronze realm, a super expert who had to stifle his laughter while easily hunting.

This region was even inferior to Golden Sparrow City when it came to Loose Cultivators.

As long as he did his reconnaissance work carefully, he could easily sweep through the native cultivators of this Immortal Sect Territory with his own power!

“Eradicating Evil Spirits is everyone’s duty!”

“Although I am merely an Inspector of Golden Sparrow City, I too have a heart that yearns to exert effort in eliminating Evil Spirits!”

“You go back first and inform Ji Hu to bring people over.”

“As for those Tribulation Cultivators and bandits daring enough to raid even Sealing Magic Artifacts… since I’ve encountered them, they must not be let off!”

In front of fellow cultivators, Su Ping naturally had to acquiesce.

In front of Loose Cultivator martial artists, Su Ping chose to strike with heavy blows!

…

Luo Family Manor is the largest estate within a hundred miles, with its granaries filled with grain and underground cellars brimming with aged wine.

Consequently, it became the first target of some resolute Loose Cultivators who had gathered the surrounding bandits from the forests after setting their sights on a significant undertaking.

And in doing so, they implicated the Ji Family’s caravan.

The leader of this group of Loose Cultivators was named Niu Wu, who was a landlord in Golden Wind City.

His life was mediocre yet comfortable.

But then there was talk of Ancient Relics emerging, attracting a great number of Cultivators, and frightening Niu Wu into trembling and hiding in the countryside.

After that, his region experienced both earthquakes and torrential rains.

A horde of demon beasts later rampaged through the villages.

Niu Wu’s life’s possessions vanished overnight in this catastrophe!

Luckily, being a landlord who had risen from the lower ranks, he knew how to earn back what was lost.

Realizing he could no longer survive in his hometown, Niu Wu, along with a few Loose Cultivators with similar fates and intentions, left Golden Wind City.

Upon arriving in this coastal region, Niu Wu suddenly realized that there were very few traces of Outer Sect Cultivators here, and many cities had even lacked an Inspector for many years.

In this Immortal Sect Territory, there was much that he, Niu Wu, could achieve!

With an insider’s understanding, Niu Wu quickly grew stronger in this new territory and eventually gathered over a hundred martial artists and more than ten Loose Cultivators to form an elite team.

As his audacity grew, after nearly unifying the surrounding bandits, he set his sights on the local powerful families.

Niu Wu planned to make a big haul and then move to another major city’s territory to continue his recruitment, aspiring to grow stronger during the time the Immortal Sects were too preoccupied to act.

Then, before the Immortal Sect realized it, he would promptly find a powerful supporter to pledge most of his gains and continue living as a landlord.

Niu Wu was shrewd in dealing with people and exceedingly generous with his followers.

Food and alcohol were plentiful, and various treasures of gold and jewels were distributed based on merit.

However, at this moment, watching the relentless thunderstorm outside,

A hint of gloom flickered in Niu Wu’s eyes.

He was of the opinion to rob and flee, but the rain was too heavy, and by now the people in the manor were either dead or subdued, with the escaped fish being just an ordinary Loose Cultivator.

The worst-case scenario would be his escape, and even if troops were summoned from the city, they could only arrive tomorrow at the earliest.

By that time, they would be long gone!

Therefore, he couldn’t really stop his brothers from indulging in food, drink, and fun on location while waiting for the rain to stop.

“Seven has been gone for almost a half a two-hour period now, hasn’t he? Why has no one come back yet?”

“Didn’t I order that even if they can’t catch up in a short time, they must remember to send someone back in time to report?”

“Have these people forgotten the rules again, or has something unexpected happened?”

Thinking of this, Niu Wu’s body jolted, then he immediately shook his head, feeling it was unlikely.

When he arrived, he had discovered that only the major cities in this coastal region might have traces of Cultivators.

In other places, it wasn’t even certain if one could find a Loose Cultivator.

He wasn’t causing trouble in a big city, and he didn’t even dare to go on the official roads.

Even if those Cultivator lords happened to be in the city, they had no reason to tire themselves out patrolling everywhere just to deal with him and his lot, right?

“Something still feels off, but never mind, I’ll wait another half ‘two-hour period’. If there’s still no news, I’ll take my old brothers and head back first!”

Niu Wu thought to himself cautiously when he suddenly caught sight of a mouse poking its head out in the courtyard.

“A common mouse with a spirit!”

Niu Wu was not alarmed but delighted to see the big mouse.

Such big mice, used by Su Ping for scouting information, exhibited no fluctuations of Spiritual Energy, so to Niu Wu and his peers, it couldn’t possibly be a Spiritual Beast contracted by any proper Cultivator.

This surely was a gift from the heavens; capturing it could at least be exchanged for some Cultivation resources!

Even though those resources were looked down upon by middle-period Qi Cultivators, they, as Loose Cultivators, would fight tooth and nail for them.

Niu Wu grinned viciously and charged at the big mouse.

Squeak, squeak, squeak!

The big mouse, startled, retreated back into its burrow.

“You can’t escape!”

Niu Wu’s hands swelled up, and just as he was about to leap into the mouse’s burrow, he burst forth!

Bang!

Suddenly, the manor’s main gate was smashed and sent flying outwards. It twirled several times in mid-air before landing on the ground, shattered to pieces.

The loud crash didn’t just startle Niu Wu, who was in the front courtyard, but also the bandits who were feasting and drinking in celebration inside the manor. They were disturbed all at once and scrambled out in a panic.

Then, they saw a Cultivator wearing a silver-white mask, a Taoist crown on his head, dressed in a blue Taoist robe, walking in barehanded and slowly.

Su Ping stepped into the manor and glanced around with a smile.

Before entering the manor, he he had already dispatched a swarm of mice to scout for information.

He had confirmed that the entire gang of bandits was indulging in food and drink inside the manor, with even the watchmen hiding in a corner to avoid the rain and drink.

And the strongest among them was merely a leader with Second Layer Qi Cultivation while the other Loose Cultivators were only at the First Layer.

Knowing this, Su Ping chose to stride confidently into this battleground, akin to a kindergarten level.

Amidst the downpour, a bolt of thunder cleaved through the sky, its light illuminating the earth and allowing the bandits to fully discern the attire of the Cultivator before them.

“It’s a disciple from the Outer Sect of the Immortal Sect!”

“How could an Outer Sect disciple come to such a rural place!”

The Loose Cultivators coming out of the manor sobered up immediately upon recognizing this.

Upon hearing the crash, Niu Wu had already begun retreating quietly, and now he was hiding behind the others.

He shouted,

“Don’t be afraid, he’s just one Outer Sect disciple!”

“Go at him together, don’t give him a chance to catch his breath. A middle-period Qi Cultivator will also run out of mana in this territory!”

Having yelled, Niu Wu didn’t wait to see if his brothers believed him or not, and started retreating quickly, preparing to flee from the manor’s backyard.

In front, most of the bandits were indeed inspired and, driven by the liquor, howled as they charged toward Su Ping.

Having spent so much time in this territory, these people had long forgotten the true terror of a Cultivator.

Emboldened by their numbers, they dared to launch a counterattack!

Su Ping didn’t even bother to use Firearms, but rather wanted to test his own Body Cultivation abilities; he gently warmed up his fingers.

Boom, boom, boom!

In the next instant, Su Ping charged into the crowd like a fierce tiger into a flock of sheep.

The instant collision between one man and a hundred left nearly half of those hundred bandits with faces contorted by pain as they flew into the air.

No Secret Skills, no techniques.

Just pure strength, pure speed.

When the second startling thunderbolt split the sky,

Under the light of the thunderbolt, not a single bandit in the courtyard could stand up any longer.

The last Loose Cultivator resisting was kicked over, flying past Niu Wu’s ear, and his body embedded itself into the wall of the backyard manor…

At that moment, Niu Wu also stopped his retreat, sitting down on the rain-soaked muddy ground, staring blankly at Su Ping as he walked toward him.

So powerful, too powerful!

Such a monstrous figure in Body Cultivation should be clashing with large demon beasts and battling powerful Evil Cultivators!

What virtue, what ability did he, Niu Wu, possess, to require such a monster to pursue him?

After witnessing such a terrifying display of practical Body Cultivation, Niu Wu’s will to escape was completely extinguished.

All he could do was to grimace and, without waiting for the other party to make a move, kneel down on the ground first, performing a Fierce Tiger landing Form, and pleaded,

“Taoist, spare my life!”

“In the past, I even worked for the Inspector of Golden Wind City, guarding and running errands. This time I must have been possessed…”

“I beg you, Taoist, show mercy!”
