Chapter 4222 - 4222 A Group of Bandits Comparable to a Supreme-Rank Force

4222 A Group of Bandits Comparable to a Supreme-Rank Force

The Divine Offering Land was a Realm of Gods and shared similarities with the Profound Energy Land. As such, although Duan Ling Tian was transported to an unknown place in the Divine Offering Land, he did not feel completely unfamiliar.

'I wonder how far are the Xia clan and Yun clan from here…'

Duan Ling Tian found a city nearby and discovered that he was in a territory ruled by a powerful heavyweight supreme-rank force that was comparable to the Profound Energy Land's Myriad Laws Academy and Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation.

In the Divine Offering Land, there were at least a dozen heavyweight supreme-rank forces that were only second to prime supreme-rank forces.

The Xia clan and the Yun clan were both prime supreme-rank forces in the Divine Offering Land. If Duan Ling Tian was in a remote village, perhaps, no one would know the locations of the Xia clan and the Yun clan. Fortunately, he was in a city ruled by a heavyweight supreme-rank force. As such, with a little bit of effort, he found the locations of the Xia clan and the Yun clan.

The Xia clan was located north of the Divine Offering Land. It was said that the place was like a paradise. Despite being surrounded by glaciers, it was miraculously spring all year round.

As for the Yun clan, it was located northwest of the Divine Offering Land. It was said that the place was a barren desert, but the Yun clan's estate was surrounded by an oasis filled with abundant resources.

The two prime supreme-rank forces' bases were located far from civilization and hidden from the masses.

'I'll go to the Xia clan first,' Duan Ling Tian thought to himself before he left the city.

…

When Duan Ling Tian was asking around for the whereabouts of the Xia clan and the Yun clan, he was unaware that he had attracted the attention of certain people. Those people thought that Duan Ling Tian must have connections with the two clans even if he were not a member of the clans. After confirming that he had a powerful background, they also concluded that he must possess many valuable treasures. As such, they began to follow him out of the city. However, after following him out of the city, none of them dared to make a move after witnessing his speed. They finally realized that he was someone they could not afford to offend.

'I thought he'd be an easy target and that I'll be able to make a fortune. Who knew that he's a powerhouse…'

The bandits sighed as they watched Duan Ling Tian vanish out of sight.

Even if Duan Ling Tian was from a prime supreme-rank force, these bandits would not hesitate to make a move on Duan Ling Tian as long as he was weaker than them. After all, as long as they were cautious and did not leave traces behind, even a prime supreme-rank force could not find them. Apart from that, there was no guarantee that the prime supreme-rank force would even investigate his death. The bandits even came up with a plan to hide their crime and leave the area. Alas, Duan Ling Tian turned out to be someone they could not afford to offend.

…

Before leaving the city, Duan Ling Tian already discovered the people following him. Under normal circumstances, he would toy with them after leaving the city. However, he was not in the mood to deal with those people now. He was anxious to go to the Xia clan and the Yun clan, and he wanted to gather as much information as he could about Ke'er. It would be a bonus if he could kill Yun Qing Yan in the process.

In the past, due to their overwhelming difference, Duan Ling Tian was unable to gauge how strong Yun Qing Yan was. Based on the average strength of the members in prime supreme-rank forces, he speculated that Yun Qing Yan was likely an intermediate Supreme God now. Moreover, he felt like he had also overestimated Yun Qing Yan's strength. He also did not consider the possibility of Yun Qing Yan being an advanced Supreme God at all.

'If I'm able to kill Yun Qing Yan this time, I'll be able to settle the matter in the Divine Offering Land and put an end to Ke'er's suffering. At that time, the only thing I need to do is to find Ke'er and reunite with her,' Duan Ling Tian thought to himself.

Swoosh!

Duan Ling Tian traveled at top speed using an emperor-grade flying ship. At the same time, he cultivated and absorbed the large amount of energy he obtained from the rewards. These rewards could only be obtained in the Trial of Gods and on Realm Battlefields, but the energy from the rewards would not dissipate immediately after leaving those places. However, the energy would dissipate twice as fast outside of those places.

Duan Ling Tian did not care about the loss. He could always gain it again when he entered the Realm Battlefield. Moreover, he had so much energy stored in his body that he was confident that he would not be done absorbing it when he entered the Realm Battlefield again.

The emperor-grade flying ship traveled at the speed of an advanced Emperor of Gods. Under normal circumstances, bandits would not target the passengers of such a flying ship since there was a chance the passengers were stronger than them. However, there were powerful bandits who would specifically target such people.

At this moment, a bandit, who was an intermediate Emperor of Gods, was hiding in a corner as he watched the flying ship fly past. He quickly sent a message.

"Vice leader, there's an emperor-grade flying ship heading north at the speed of an advanced Emperor of Gods…"

Soon, he received a reply.

The other party said indifferently, "Alright, I'll inform our leader at once."

This group of bandits was a supreme-rank force led by a rudimentary Supreme God. The vice leaders of the group were all imminent Supreme Gods. They had many advanced Emperors of Gods who served as captains of smaller groups within the group. Even the weakest members in those small groups were rudimentary Emperors of Gods, who were usually responsible for dealing with trivial matters and cleaning up after the group.

This group of bandits was among the strongest bandits in the Divine Offering Land. The other bandits feared them and did not dare to trespass into their territory.

Swoosh!

Shortly after Duan Ling Tian's emperor-grade flying ship flew past, a supreme-grade flying ship flew past as well.

A burly middle-aged man with a piercing gaze stood at the helm of the flying ship and calmly asked, "That flying ship flew in this direction, right?"

"Yes, my lord," the intermediate Emperor of Gods, who just boarded the ship, replied.

"Very good," the middle-aged man said with a nod, "According to the rules, you'll receive 1% of everything we obtain in this operation."

"Thank you, my lord!"

After recovering from the surprise, the intermediate Emperor of Gods quickly expressed his gratitude. He hoped that they would gain a lot this time. With that, his reward would be abundant as well.

About 15 minutes later, the middle-aged man, who was the leader of the group of bandits, saw a black dot, which was slowly increasing in size, in the distance. He said, "There it is… I'll block its path with our flying ship while all of you surround it in all directions."

The vice leaders quickly nodded in agreement.

These bandits were highly ambitious and only targeted the wealthy and the powerful. All of the members would be involved during an operation. As such, they even managed to kill a lone rudimentary Supreme God, who had stabilized his cultivation base, in the past. Their leader was only on par with the rudimentary Supreme God, but with everyone's help, they managed to kill the rudimentary Supreme God.

…

At this time, the voice of Huang'er, the artifact soul of the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword, rang in Duan Ling Tian's ears.

"My lord, a supreme-grade flying ship is tailing us."

Following that, another woman's voice, which was as melodious and enchanting as that of Huang'er, rang in Duan Ling Tian's ears as well.

"My lord, intruders alert!"

The second voice belonged to the artifact soul of the prominent divine sword that Duan Ling Tian obtained on the Profound Zen Battlefield. It used to belong to a rudimentary Supreme God whom Duan Ling Tian managed to kill with Yang Yu Chen's help. Usually, the prominent divine sword and its artifact soul, which were given to Duan Ling Tian's doppelganger, would be stored in Duan Ling Tian's body. Today was an exception.

After the two artifact souls spoke, the supreme-grade flying ship suddenly picked up speed and flew at an astonishing speed. Its speed was comparable to that of an intermediate Supreme God. In just a blink of an eye, it overtook Duan Ling Tian's flying ship and stopped him from advancing.

Subsequently, many figures flew out from the flying ship and surrounded Duan Ling Tian in all directions. Then, a burly figure shot appeared in front of Duan Ling Tian's flying ship and punched his fist out.

A terrifying shockwave swept out and overturned Duan Ling Tian's flying ship, shaking the void.

"A rudimentary Supreme God?"

Duan Ling Tian hovered in midair, completely unharmed. He looked at the group of people coldly.

'There are so many of them… Are they bandits? Their group can be considered a supreme-rank force…'

Duan Ling Tian felt very lucky to run into these bandits. After all, bandit groups comparable to supreme-rank forces were incredibly rare in Realms of Gods.

After a moment, Duan Ling Tian put his flying ship away and revealed himself.

There were at least 30 bandits present on the scene. Except for a few rudimentary and intermediate Emperors of Gods on patrol duty, the entire group was here.

Upon seeing Duan Ling Tian, the bandits frowned slightly in confusion. A hint of disappointment could be seen in their eyes and on their faces as well.

"He's alone?"

The intermediate Emperor of Gods, who discovered Duan Ling Tian first, was the most disappointed. After all, how much could they obtain from one person? He would only be obtaining 1% of the overall loot, after all.

"He's alone?"

Most of the bandits furrowed their brows as Duan Ling Tian showed up. A hint of disappointment could be seen on their faces.

The intermediate Emperor of Gods who discovered Duan Ling Tian was thoroughly disappointed after realizing the limited resources they would obtain from a loner, let alone his meager share of 1% from it.
