Chapter 283: Is That So?
After capturing Wu Laoda, the group promptly removed the storage bag from his waist and handed it to the scholar.
Seeing his storage bag being taken away, Wu Laoda felt a sharp pain in his heart.
Although it wasn’t his spiritual stones, losing this was even more painful than having his own belongings stolen.
Since the storage bag wasn’t Wu Laoda’s personal property, it bore no primordial spirit mark.
Thus, when the scholar received the storage bag, he easily accessed its contents.
Upon discovering the mountain of top-quality spiritual grains inside, a look of shock flashed across his eyes.
In his years of robbing houses, he had never encountered such a wealthy individual!
After the initial shock, the scholar felt immense joy!
Pulling off this heist would secure his cultivation resources for decades, and he could even advance his own cultivation level. It was as if a golden pie had fallen from the sky, and now it was his chance to prosper!
Bound and restrained, Wu Laoda watched the changing expressions on the scholar’s face, well aware of the man’s thoughts.
After all, he had felt the same excitement when he first saw what the storage bag contained!
However, Wu Laoda was currently too concerned for his survival to worry about that.
If he could just stay alive, there would still be hope.
With this thought in mind, Wu Laoda coldly snorted,
“Do you even know whose belongings you hold? I suggest you return it to me quietly, or you will definitely regret it!”
Upon hearing this, the scholar broke free from his joy, his expression shifting slightly. With Wu Laoda’s cultivation level, he surely wouldn’t possess such abundant top-quality spiritual grains!
Moreover, in recent days, Wu Laoda had been buying things that didn’t seem like something an ordinary cultivator would purchase.
Now witnessing Wu Laoda’s confident face, slightly proud, made the scholar feel a tinge of worry.
After all, things of unknown origin often came with great risks.
But when he thought about the contents of the storage bag, the scholar quickly discarded all rationality in his eyes!
Birds die for food; people die for wealth!
Now that he had the storage bag in hand, there was no way he would return it.
However, before that, he felt it was necessary to find out the true owner behind these items.
“Since that’s the case, why don’t you tell me whose belongings these are? It would be an honor for me to admire their grace! It would be best if you could call the senior here directly; I will gladly return the items!”
Hearing this, Wu Laoda’s momentum waned, and a hint of hesitation appeared on his face.
He indeed wanted to call Ji Yang over, but Ji Yang hadn’t left any contact information for him, making it impossible to reach him.
Yet, he could not show any weakness now. Wu Laoda replied once more,
“You don’t need to know the name of that person. Just return the items and let me go; that is your only way out!”
“Hahaha!”
The scholar burst out laughing, clearly seeing the uncertainty in Wu Laoda’s eyes, along with his hesitant tone and the fear behind his bravado.
This only confirmed the scholar’s suspicion that Wu Laoda would be unable to summon that person, or perhaps that person was nothing more than a figment of Wu Laoda’s deception!
If such a person truly existed, how could they give so many spiritual stones to a cultivator who was only at the Golden Core Stage!
With this thought, the scholar felt a heavy burden lift from his heart, and a hint of murderous intent appeared in his eyes!
If he could deal with Wu Laoda now, he could take the top-quality spiritual grains and vanish into the distance! Life would be delightful.
“Take action, get rid of him!”
The scholar no longer hesitated and issued the command to the people beside him.
Seeing that his words did not intimidate the scholar, Wu Laoda’s heart sank; this was it for him.
But instinctively, he yelled out,
“You will regret this!”
The scholar sneered at those words,
“Regret? I, Huang Batian, have no regrets for what I have done! Even if the person you mentioned comes, so what? Under my Spirit Severing Array, all beings are equal; I am not afraid even of a cultivator in the Void Refinement stage!”
“Oh! Is that so?”
“Just as well; I would like to see what marvelous things your Spirit Severing Array possesses!”
As a voice came from not far away, the group preparing to attack turned their attention to the source of the sound.
In their sight, a young figure slowly appeared.
Wu Laoda, who had originally closed his eyes waiting for death, felt ecstatic upon hearing that familiar voice and immediately shouted,
“Senior, save me!”
But the scholar’s face displayed some seriousness.
However, upon seeing that the newcomer was just a young man and that his aura was not very strong, the scholar’s confidence returned.
Moreover, the Spirit Severing Array he had set up was not some common formation; such a rare array could not be established by just anyone.
With this array as his support, even though the young man’s cultivation level was indeed not low, within the array, one person was no match for four!
“First, finish him off!”
The scholar paid no attention to Ji Yang’s arrival and spoke again to his followers.
The people binding Wu Laoda no longer hesitated and prepared to attack.
Seeing this, Ji Yang let out a cold snort.
With the sound of Ji Yang’s cold snort, the bodies of several people quickly became sluggish, and in the next moment, those who were ready to strike stood frozen in place, their actions abruptly halting mid-air.
This made the scholar frown slightly and say,
“What are you hesitating for? Why aren’t you moving!”
But even after issuing the command, he received no response. Upon closer inspection, he noticed that the people not far away were sweating profusely, seemingly unable to move no matter how hard they tried.
This unusual situation shocked the scholar; he immediately realized that this was the doing of the young man before him. He looked at Ji Yang with a suspicious gaze, murmuring,
“It’s impossible! How can spells still be used inside my Spirit Severing Array!”
After saying this, he felt his inner power surge and prepared to use a spell to verify whether his array had failed.
However, when he unleashed the spell, nothing happened. It was then that he understood his Spirit Severing Array was not ineffective.
With a formidable opponent right before him, the scholar no longer hesitated. He put away his folding fan, rolled up his sleeves to reveal his strong physique, and confidently declared,
“Without spiritual energy, I want to see how you can compete with me!”
With that, the scholar charged towards Ji Yang, attempting to crush him with his sheer physical strength!
After all, without spiritual energy supporting him, body-refining techniques became crucial, and this was also the source of the scholar’s confidence!
As the scholar confidently rushed towards him, Ji Yang shook his head slightly, and a Superior flying sword appeared in his hand!
The flying sword cut through the air, sending what seemed like a normal sword energy slicing towards the scholar!
“Bang!”
The rushing scholar halted, and in the next moment, he fell to the ground, unable to rise!
While the sword energy killed the scholar, it also shattered the confidence in the eyes of the young man!
At that moment, the other individuals nearby had already lost their composure, especially after seeing Ji Yang easily slay the scholar.
