Chapter 199 - Sneaking In
Following the resounding long whistles echoing from every direction, some human silhouettes appeared on the vast snowy lands and rushed forth.
The blood-sucking bandits, alerted by the noises, yelled out. Immediately, the fully equipped blood-sucking bandits brandished their sharp weapons and robust bows.
“Look, that’s our Spring Autumn Sect’s disciples! Hmm? They’re members of the Tianxia Society!”
Mu Chen and the others, no longer afraid, rose to their feet on the snowy ground. They scanned the surroundings, quickly spotting human silhouettes appearing from all directions, sweeping toward Loulan Ancient Imperial City.
“The people over there are disciples from the Floating Cloud Sword Sect. What powerful sword intent!”
“Look over there. Disciples of the Divine Light Sect. Their light-attributed cultivation techniques make the light as sharp as a blade, highly lethal.”
“And there, Silvermoon Sect disciples. They practice extraordinary cultivation techniques, drawing on the moon's essence to cultivate at a remarkable speed.”
“......”
Mu Chen and the others were well-informed, recognizing the sects based on clothing and describing their characteristics succinctly.
Whether the disciples from the various sects had coordinated beforehand remained unknown. Nevertheless, they revealed themselves simultaneously, surging forward.
Thirty-six first-level Yuanfu realm disciples led the charge, channeling their cultivation to fly into the midst of the blood-sucking bandits.
Immediate chaos ensued as the disciples swiftly took down the blood-sucking bandits, causing them to fall one after another.
Rumble!
Suddenly, a huge crimson palm seal flew down from the city wall, enveloping the area where the thirty-six first-level Yuanfu realm disciples stood.
The air exploded as the force descended, threatening to smash them to a mere pulp.
At that crucial moment, a devastating sword light flew out from the Floating Cloud Sword Sect disciples. It sliced through space, obliterating the crimson palm seal.
“Kill!”
The disciples of the various sects yelled furiously and charged the blood-sucking bandits. Cultivations erupted, and the entire area vibrated with explosive force. Explosions boomed non-stop.
“Everyone, these evildoers from the Blood Demon Cave practice demonic cultivation. They indiscriminately kill innocents and have brought calamity to these lands. Today, our sects stand united. Let's join forces and eliminate these evildoers, restoring peace to these lands!”
A Divine Light Sect disciple, radiating holy light, hovered mid-air as he delivered the resounding message. The response was immediate.
“Rightfully so!”
In mid-air, dazzling collisions occurred, resulting in explosions that looked like fireworks displays.
“Come on, we’re killing our way in too!”
Mu Chen and his companions, fueled by the intense scene, rushed toward the weaker blood-sucking bandits.
They were right in choosing to make this trip here. Dealing with ordinary ones was their domain, leaving the experts to the experts.
Chen Fan didn’t stop them, either. Observing the chaos, he stood still, his eyes lighting up at the opportunity.
In the midst of the turmoil, he could slip inside and reclaim the treasures these blood-sucking bandits had plundered—a substantial haul, no doubt.
Even if he didn’t have much use for them, he could bring it back to his clan. Without hesitation, he dashed toward Loulan Ancient Imperial City.
He used his cultivation at full strength, so even fourth-level Yuanfu realm experts could barely catch a glimpse of him before he vanished. It was like he was teleporting.
He was several thousand steps away from his starting point in a breath's time. He ascended the city wall with a few more flickers, towering a hundred people tall.
A mysterious force killed one blood-sucking bandit after another on the wall. Their blood demon cores disappeared just as mysteriously.
Meanwhile, the whistling noises from all directions persisted, with more and more people converging on the scene.
Chen Fan wasted no time and swiftly moved toward the heart of the city.
Puchi!
Chen Fan infiltrated Loulan Ancient Imperial City. As he surveyed the distance, he saw tall buildings standing in layers connected by wide streets.
The blood-sucking bandit army occupied the streets, densely packed together. They were gathering urgently, their demonic and blood qi rising to the sky.
Bloodstains were everywhere on the ground. Chen Fan could see dry corpses swaying in the wind in some tall buildings in the city.
The entire Loulan Ancient Imperial City had become a ghost city.
The bandits had massacred all the city’s inhabitants to use their blood to cultivate the Blood Demon Cultivation Technique.
Due to the city's vastness, the blood-sucking bandits couldn't occupy every inch. Unnoticed, Chen Fan flitted between tall buildings inconspicuously.
Given his cultivation, a flap of the Wings of Rain Dragon would bring him a thousand steps away.
If anyone happened to catch a glimpse of him for a moment, he would already have appeared on another tall building in the next.
