Once Swordcloud said that, Xiao Lin nodded his head and then went to his room. And as he did so, he put his ears out with his Vampiric Enhanced Hearing ability on to listen to what they would be saying.
"That brat is growing too fast. Wasn't he at the fifth-layer Spiritual Ascendance stage when he fought Deathwind many days ago. Now, he is already at the ninth-layer Spiritual Ascendance stage. I wonder how is able to do that." Jade Destiny said with a puzzled expression in his eyes.
"I guess he is consuming a lot of Spiritual Cultivation Resources that he was fortunate to get somewhere in large amounts. Anyways, I don't think he has an idea that what he is doing is harming his cultivation progress. The moron doesn't know that his actions will stagnate his cultivation growth, as his cultivation base will become extremely unstable. It would be really hard for him to stabilize it. Just watch, for the next two to four years, he won't be able to break through into the Mortal Spiritual stage." Swordcloud said with a confident smile in his face.
Xiao Lin who was hearing what they were saying only shook his head.
'Ignorant fools' He said inwardly.
When he arrived in his room, he sat down in the cross-legged position to do a brief cultivation by trying to absorb Spiritual Energy that was really thin in size around him.
After sometime, he opened his eyes and then stood to his feet to leave the room.
He then went outside the castle to wait for the others who just arrived there.
"Are you ready?" Swordcloud asked Xiao Lin.
"Yes" Xiao Lin said with a nod of his head.
"Alright then. Let's move" Swordcloud said.
Then they began to walk into the distance to appear in the town.
Many minutes later, they appeared in the town.
When they arrived there, they all took deep breath.
Then Swordcloud said looking at them "Let's head out"
The others nodded their heads and began to follow behind Swordcloud.
While Swordcloud who was following the directions given to him by Nine Calamities began to walk towards the place where their robbery mission was to be carried out.
After many minutes, they eventually arrived there.
Then they separated from each other to go stay at specific places while looking observantly into the distance for the carriage or beast that would pass through this street and would carry a wooden box or metallic box that might contain the treasure that Nine Calamities told them about.
Before Xiao Lin could leave to go find a place to stay and watch, Swordcloud said to him with a serious expression in his face "Brat, don't try to be a hero or a courageous idiot and get in our way, or you will die, which I will make sure of."
Xiao Lin exhaled and then nodded his head.
Then he left to go find a place that he would stay.
When he got there, he sat down in the cross-legged state and closed his eyes to cultivate. However, even as he was cultivating, he put his ears out with his Vampiric Enhanced Hearing ability on to detect the sounds of either beasts or carriages that would pass through this particular street soon.
After a long while, thirty minutes to be precise, the sounds of beasts could be heard from afar.
Swordcloud who was patiently waiting where he stood nodded his head with a solemn expression appearing in his face "They are already here."
Not long, a heavy carriage that was being pulled by dozens of wild beasts appeared in the street.
Just as they appeared, Swordcloud who had pulled up his mask to cover his face, came out from where he was to stand at the middle of the road, then with an aura of battle starting to exude from his body, he aimed his two palms at the dozens of beasts that were pulling the carriage and uttered "Hundred Rain Swords"
And, as soon as he said that, Spiritual Energy gushed out from his two palms in large amount and rapidly transformed into a hundred swords that seemed to be formed from water.
Once these swords appeared, they shot at blazing speeds towards each of the beast.
Slash! Slash! Slash!...
Numerous sounds like these began to ring out as the blades penetrated through the bodies of the beasts, instantly causing their gruesome deaths.
Sensing that they were being attacked despite their disguise, the treasure protectors within the carriage immediately shot out of the carriage to see who was it that dared to attack them.
Then when they saw Swordcloud, they didn't exchange any word with him as they went straight into attacking him.
But just before they could unleash any attack at him, Jade Destiny and the others who were also around quickly came out from were they were to support Swordcloud.
Immediately they arrived, they began to exchange attacks with one another using powerful battle skills.
So, gleaming Spiritual Energy attacks of high destructive powers and which actually caused the long street to brightly lit up in different colors, were being sent out at each other without any form of restrain. The way that the battle was fought was like their most dangerous foes had caught up with them.
While Xiao Lin who had stopped cultivating a few moments ago and looked on to see how they fought, later turned his head away from the ongoing battle to look at the heavy carriage that were pulled being by the now slain beasts.
"I wonder what's in that carriage that it can't be stored into a spatial ring" He said.
Then his brows furrowed in the next instant when he thought of something "Or is that the treasure can't be stored into a low-quality spatial ring which is what they would have here, and can only be kept in high-quality spatial rings? Hmm. I guess that must be right. Since they don't have high-quality spatial rings here, they can only keep it in a box and then transport it down here to this part of the town using a carriage pulled by beasts."
He then said further "I wonder what treasure is in that carriage. Must be some powerful treasure"
When he said that, he began to think of ways to get the treasure for himself.
