2151 Spirit Mine Robbery
Feng An was flustered.
As a Grade 9 Black Immortal of Yellow Sand Palace, he could be considered as a commander. He led his subordinates to guard this ascension sacrificial platform without any mistakes for tens of thousands of years.
Cultivators who ascended from the lower worlds, regardless of race or what sort of living beings they were, would be suppressed by them and treated as slaves.
Anyone who resisted would suffer the most cruel punishment and might even die on the spot!
The upper world was not a paradise.
It was even more so in this Fiend Domain that was filled with killing and blood!
Countless corpses could be dug out from every single inch of land in the Fiend Domain!
Every ascender was invincible in the lower worlds. However, in their eyes, they were as weak as ants and could be bullied at will.
There had never been any changes throughout history.
However, this time round, that natural order seemed to have been broken.
Feng An could not imagine how anyone who had just ascended could possess such a terrifying body!
In fact, the purple-robed cultivator did not even use any other methods. He merely charged forward with his body and no one could defend against him!
All the divine powers, immortal arts, Dharmic treasures and flying swords could not defend against that person's body.
Feng An fled for his life, not daring to turn back.
He had already pushed his Essence Spirit to its limits and released all the methods to raise his movement technique.
Perhaps it was because he fled too quickly or because the purple-robed cultivator was wary, he did not encounter any danger when he escaped to the nearest Yellow Sand Palace Essence Spirit Mine.
Feng An's fear only eased slightly when he saw dozens of Earth Immortals of Yellow Sand Palace patrolling the vicinity of the Essence Spirit Mine at the front.
He mustered his courage and turned back.
There was no one behind him!
The purple-robed cultivator did not chase after him at all.
He had been scaring himself the entire way.
"Feng An, what are you doing here instead of guarding the sacrificial platform?"
A Grade 2 Earth Immortal asked with a frown when he saw him.
"Why are you running? Why are you so flustered?!"
"What happened? Why are you so scared?"
Kong Yi, the commander of the spirit mine, walked over slowly and asked in a deep voice when he noticed the fear in Feng An's eyes.
At that moment, Feng An was fleeing for his life. Be it his Essence Spirit or Essence Qi, they were both depleted and he was drenched in sweat. His face was pale and he looked like he was still in shock.
"Greetings, Senior Brother Kong,"
Feng An gulped before replying, "A purple-robed cultivator with a silver mask just ascended from the sacrificial platform."
"This person killed all my underlings the moment he ascended!"
Feng An recounted everything he saw in detail.
The dozens of Earth Immortals frowned when they heard that.
This sounded like a fantasy.
How could a cultivator of the lower worlds who had just ascended kill some high-level Black Immortals of Yellow Sand Palace?
Everyone exchanged glances and sneered.
"Feng An, what nonsense are you spouting?"
"Do you know what happens when you spout nonsense and deceive Exalted Immortals in our Yellow Sand Palace?!"
A few Earth Immortals hollered with cold expressions.
Feng An waved it off hurriedly. "Senior brothers, what I said is absolutely true. I saw it with my own eyes!"
"What's the cultivation realm of the person you're referring to?"
Kong Yi asked indifferently.
Feng An hesitated for a moment. "I couldn't detect his cultivation realm."
"Hahahaha!"
A series of laughter broke out from the crowd.
A mocking look flashed through Kong Yi's eyes as well. "Feng An, there's only two possibilities right now. Either you're spouting nonsense or you've been struck by some illusion technique and everything you saw was an illusion!"
"I..."
Feng An wanted to speak but stopped.
He wanted to explain but did not know how to start.
In fact, he had doubts in his heart.
Could he have truly fallen into an illusion and been deceived?
Right then, Kong Yi suddenly asked, "The person you mentioned earlier wore a purple robe and silver mask?"
"That's right,"
Feng An nodded instinctively.
Thereafter, he noticed Kong Yi looking into the distance with a strange expression.
Feng An turned around.
That single glance almost scared him out of his wits!
In midair far away, a purple-robed man strode through the void and arrived before them in the blink of an eye!
"Senior Brother Kong, that's him!"
Feng An shouted.
It was the Martial Dao Prime Body.
After he ascended to the upper world, his first goal was to collect a large number of cultivation resources such as Essence Spirit Stones and Essence Condensation Pills to absorb and refine so that he could break through to the Level 9 Fate Ring realm as soon as possible.
When he heard that there was an Essence Spirit Mine nearby, he was prepared to snatch it.
Due to the unique bloodline of the Green Lotus True Body and the fact that he was hunted by King Yun You previously, his identity was sensitive. After ascending to the upper world, he had too many reservations and was restricted.
After the Green Lotus True Body entered the Essence Spirit Mine, he did not dare to make any major moves and merely cultivated secretly beneath the mine.
This was a different situation from the Green Lotus True Body.
Nobody knew the identity of the Martial Dao Prime Body.
Nobody knew who he was either.
With the silver mask, the Martial Dao Prime Body was completely fearless!
He asked Feng An what grade Yellow Sand Palace was so that he could judge what would happen if he snatched the Essence Spirit Mine.
Yellow Sand Palace, a black-grade faction.
Typically, once one cultivated to the Heaven Immortal realm, they could establish a sect or faction at the black-grade.
Of course, the strength of every black-grade sect or faction varied.
For example, Astral Sect of the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom. Sect Master Astral Rain was a Grade 9 Heaven Immortal and there were many Heaven Immortal experts in the sect. These were the top-tier black-grade sects.
If the sect master or leader of a faction was only a low-level Heaven Immortal, their strength would naturally be much weaker.
In a massive place like the Fiend Domain, there were countless factions like black-grade and earth-grade sects.
In the territory of the Fiend Domain, conflicts broke out between major sects and factions almost all the time as they fought for cultivation resources.
There was no order here and it was extremely chaotic. Some sects and factions might be destroyed within a few years after they were established.
On the one hand, the Martial Dao Prime Body was here to snatch the Essence Spirit Mine.
On the other hand, he wanted to test the power of the Level 8 Fate Ring realm!
"You were the one who killed our Yellow Sand Palace cultivators?"
Kong Yi glared at the Martial Dao Prime Body with a sharp expression and asked slowly.
"That's right,"
The Martial Dao Prime Body did not stop.
"Alright, you're honest too!"
Kong Yi sneered and sent a voice transmission to the dozens of Earth Immortals around him. Just as he was about to attack, he said, "You sure are bold. Instead of escaping hurriedly after killing cultivators of Yellow Sand Palace, you even dare to come knocking."
"This Essence Spirit Mine belongs to me now,"
The Martial Dao Prime Body pointed at the Essence Spirit Mine not far behind him and said indifferently, as though he was describing something that was only right.
"What are you talking about?"
"How arrogant!"
"You must have a death wish!"
Many Earth Immortals of Yellow Sand Palace were enraged and attacked before Kong Yi could give the order.
