Chapter 290 Five Jade Slips Acquired_2
"The ones below are inferior, the techniques stored in the dark boxes close to the ground are relatively less precious," Yang Ji said, noting the careless scratches on the surface, "it seems that the person who destroyed these techniques didn't care much about them."
"There are still some undamaged dark boxes further down; let's search and hopefully find some intact Jade Slips. Let them fight it out amongst themselves."
"Yes, Master!" The Huayuan Sect Elders commenced their search at the very bottom.
Many shared the same thought, crazily searching and not engaging in the battle for looting.
Like locusts sweeping through, every dark box was turned out, and due to damaged exteriors and compromised protective mechanisms, any Jade Slips inside would turn to ash at a touch.
However, there were simply too many dark boxes, and inevitably some were undamaged. Suddenly, another voice rang out.
"There are techniques here too, everyone, hurry!"
"Xi Dajun, fuck your ancestor, shut your mouth, I found this one!" someone cursed loudly.
"Hehe, as for techniques, let's comprehend them together!" a Red Dust Immortal from the Yin Tribe cackled and dragged it over.
The cultivation techniques from the Immortal Realm deeply attracted everyone, and not only did the Yin Tribe Red Dust Immortal join, but also the Red Dust Immortals from various other clans and powers.
"Wait! Stop fighting; there should be many more dark boxes intact. Some have scratches, but the insides are undamaged. I've noticed that untouched dark boxes emit a faint glow when touched, and everyone is welcome to try," a Red Dust Immortal holding a Jade Slip urged, shouting loudly.
"Oh? Is that so? Then let's all act together. With an attack covering the entire ring-shaped wall, any dark boxes that shimmer faintly are intact, and we can all try to obtain the techniques inside based on our abilities," suggested a Red Dust Immortal from the Immortal Clan.
"Good!" The Red Dust Immortals nodded and then struck in unison, causing the Dao Principles to surge throughout the ring-shaped space, as countless attacks fiercely pummelled the wall.
In an instant, dozens of faint glimmers lit up on the lower section of the circular walls, as striking as stars in the night sky.
"Haha, techniques! Everyone, go for it!"
Everyone shouted excitedly as over a thousand people scattered and rushed in all directions, locking onto those glimmers.
The Huayuan Sect Elders' eyes lit up as they targeted three faint glows ahead of them.
Their speed was extremely fast, and since they were quite close, they reached the wall in a flash.
Pulling open the dark box, they took out the Jade Slips inside, instantly obtaining three slips.
The Huayuan Sect Elders had just extracted the Jade Slips and the people behind them barely caught up.
Dozens charged towards the remaining two glimmers in this direction, igniting a fierce battle.
As true contenders made their move, the powerful aura belonging to the Red Dust Immortals erupted at the two battle sites.
There were five faint glimmers where Yang Ji and his group were.
The Huayuan Sect Elders obtained three, while the remaining two were claimed by two True Immortal Peak masters.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye.
In the next moment, the Huayuan Sect Elders were suddenly locked onto by two powerful Divine Senses.
It was those two True Immortal Peak powerhouses who had acquired the Jade Slips now setting their sights on them.
"You two scumbags from the Huayuan Sect, you sure move fast. Hand over the Jade Slips!" The two acted in concert, one charging towards Huayuan and the other towards Yuan Hua.
"Yuan Hua, hand over the Jade Slips politely!" The Red Dust Immortal from the Yin Tribe had a cold and ruthless look in his eyes as he bore down on Yuan Hua, his aura at the True Immortal Peak overwhelming Yuan Hua's mid-stage True Immortal presence.
He made no empty threats but revealed a savage grin and reached out to take, intent on forcibly seizing the treasures.
But in the next moment, a streak of light swiftly arrived, and a large hand brutally clamped down on the aggressor's skull. With a squeeze of the fingers, he let out a miserable scream.
The person who appeared was none other than Yang Ji, whose fingers twinkled with runes as he sneered, "You dare to lay a hand on my people? You're courting death! You have three breaths to consider, hand over the Jade Slip you obtained, or die!"
As the word "die" fell, his hand clasped tightly, and the man's screams grew even worse as his eyes bulged and rolled back instantly.
"You have one breath left!"
"Ah, I'll hand it over, I'll hand it over!"
The Red Dust Immortal of the Yin Tribe at the True Immortal Peak frantically waved his hands and hurriedly took out the Jade Slip from his ring to hand it over.
Yang Ji chuckled lowly as he took the Jade Slip and flung the man aside, his gaze then turning toward the God Race Red Dust Immortal who was rushing toward Huayuan Sect.
"You have two breaths to consider, hand over the Jade Slip."
"?" The God Race Red Dust Immortal, upon seeing Yang Ji's gaze, trembled in his eyes. He hadn't approached Huayuan Sect before he immediately twisted his body, darting to the side.
"You think you can escape after making a move?" Yang Ji's gaze was ice-cold. He transformed into a streak of light and teleported over, grabbing the God Race Red Dust Immortal's head in shock and squeezing it fiercely, causing the skull to cave in and blood to sputter violently out.
"Ah!" The God Race Red Dust Immortal let out a blood-curdling scream.
"Stop!" At this moment, a harsh shout came from not far away, as the Red Dust Immortals from other forces of the Divine King World rushed over. Their numbers were many, more than twenty strong, each seething with anger and staring murderously at Yang Ji.
Although they were not from the same power, their auras interconnected, facing Yang Ji together.
"What's this? He doesn't know his place, trying to rob from under my men, and you Red Dust Immortals of the Divine King World want to stand up for him?" At this moment, empowered by the strength of Lang Canghai and the other sixteen Red Dust Immortals, Yang Ji was like an old demon, with fierce and icy eyes and an intimidating presence. With his current strength, he feared no one, not even if they joined forces to deploy the True Immortal Transforming Armor.
"You..." The God Race Red Dust Immortal, seeing Yang Ji's posture, was extremely irate but suppressed his anger, saying solemnly, "Fellow Daoist, please release him." Find exclusive stories on My Virtual Library Empire
"I also don't wish to entangle with you, releasing him is fine!" Yang Ji snatched the Jade Slip and then threw the God Race Red Dust Immortal he was holding away.
"Fellow Daoist brothers, he snatched my Jade Slip." The man twisted his face in pain, one hand covering his bleeding head while pointing at Yang Ji with the other, seething with anger. "If this Jade Slip had been taken, we could've comprehended it together and perhaps gained significant fortunes. But now it has been taken by him. We have twenty-five Red Dust Immortals from the Divine King World who can deploy the True Immortal Transforming Armor together, so do we still fear not being able to kill him?"
Yang Ji chuckled lightly, flicking the blood from his hands, and then said, "Indeed, the Jade Slip is in my hand, if you want it, feel free to come and take it!"
"Fellow Daoist, we of the Divine King World will remember you." A leading True Immortal Peak of the Divine King World's eyes darkened, knowing that it was essentially impossible to retrieve the Jade Slip from Yang Ji. Sighing coldly in his heart, he led the others to fly off in another direction.
The commotion here was also noticed by other Red Dust Immortals, whose eyes flickered and minds varied. After taking just one look, they all withdrew their gazes and continued to fight over the Jade Slips.
"Avarice leads to grasping beyond reach, truly deserving of losing the Jade Slip!" Huayuan Sect cursed fiercely.
"Ah, Sovereign, this is rather bad. Although these guys are from the same race, coming from the same world, they are not from the same power. Yet just now, they managed to act so unanimously. Clearly, they have reached some sort of agreement in secret, preparing to advance and retreat together. If they also use the True Immortal Transforming Armor technique, they would have a significant numerical advantage over us, which would be very bad should we come across any Supreme Treasures to fight over," Yuan Hua frowned and worried.
"No matter, I have a plan!" Yang Ji was not particularly worried.
"As long as the Sovereign can hold up!" Yuan Hua laughed heartily.
"Sovereign, these are the three Jade Slips I just obtained." Huayuan Sect smiled as he tossed the Jade Slips to Yang Ji.
"Sovereign, this one's mine!" Yuan Hua also handed over a Jade Slip.
Yang Ji nodded, accepting the Jade Slips, and then said, "This place is perilous with so many people around. Let's find a safe place once we are out to open and see."
"We are at the Sovereign's command!" The Huayuan Sect Elders laughed.
Yang nodded and didn't engage in the scramble for the other Jade Slips.
If he were to act too aggressively, disturbing others and provoking them to unite against him, even he would be overwhelmed.
Yang Ji did not participate in the scramble for other Jade Slips, but he was not idle. Instead, he glanced upward at the circular walls, hoping to discern some other information.
The battles below, however, intensified among the dozen or so groups, with the Red Dust Immortals growing increasingly fierce.
