436 Failure to Put Things Away Properly Is Inviting Theft

The battle on the ground couldn’t stop Xu Qing and the captain.

The rumbling in the sky couldn’t stop their footsteps.

No matter how dangerous the surroundings were, as the cave abode got closer and closer, Xu Qing’s eyes shone with a bright light and the captain’s eyes shone with fanaticism.

It had to be said that the captain had chosen the right time. Logically speaking, under normal circumstances, it was impossible for Xu Qing and the other two to approach Spirit Venerable Nether Fairy’s cave abode.

!!

First, they had to go through the many disciples of the Three Spirits in the city below. Then, they had to resist the pressure of the black mountain and the restrictions contained in it.

In the end, they still had to face the terrifying strength of Spirit Venerable Nether Fairy.

Any one of these factors would cause the plan to fail and send them into a huge life-and-death crisis. There was not even a slim chance of survival.

But now, all the obstacles were gone. A large number of disciples of the Three Spirits were fighting with the Sword Holders. The chaotic battle allowed the three of them to reach the foot of the mountain smoothly.

The pressure from the black mountain and the many restrictions on it had also been destroyed by the Sword Holders. Although some still existed, their power could no longer be compared to before.

After all, half of the mountain had collapsed, and a huge hole had appeared in the cave abode.

As they got closer, they could see the mountain showing signs of destruction. Bolts of lightning could be seen slithering through the cracks in the rocks, and the damaged runes on the mountain were dimming and flickering.

Green smoke rose up from many areas, and cracks spread out across the mountain. Trees were already withered, and large amounts of rubble were falling off.

Corpses were strewn all over the ground. There were even some Three Spirits cultivators who were scrambling to leave, not daring to stay here. Even when they saw Xu Qing and the other two, they ignored them and left quickly.

In the hole above, some items were scattered on the ground of the cave abode.

These items caused the captain’s eyes to glow with boundless light. Even Xu Qing was shocked.

They saw resplendent treasure light and a large number of items that seemed to be made of immortal jade. Every table and chair in the cave abode was an excellent magic artifact.

Although it was a mess now, and there were even some corpses of nonhuman servants that had been killed from the aftershock of the Sword Holder Elders’ attacks, all of this couldn’t stop the captain’s fervor. His speed also instinctively increased by a lot. Although Xu Qing was also staring straight at the treasures, when he noticed the captain’s speed, he fell into deep thought.

The current Xu Qing already had the combat strength of three palaces, but the captain didn’t seem to be at the Golden Core Realm yet. However, the burst of speed earlier gave Xu Qing the feeling that it was similar to his.

However, he wasn’t too surprised. After all, it was within his expectations. Looking away, he sped along with the captain, getting closer and closer to the cave abode.

Although the restrictions on the mountain had collapsed, the remaining restrictions were still fatal to them. In the next instant, Xu Qing’s expression changed and he retreated abruptly.

A black thread suddenly appeared in front of him and swept over. As it approached, dense anomalous substances spread from the thread.

At the instant Xu Qing retreated, the black thread closed in. With a buzz, it sped past.

Fortunately, Xu Qing dodged in time. However, a strand of his hair that fluttered in the wind was instantly cut apart.

The captain was moving too fast to dodge in time, and his right hand was cut off. However, he grabbed the broken arm and placed it on the cut. He pressed it hard and instantly recovered.

“How can a mere restriction stop me!”

The captain let out a low shout and was about to continue when at the next instant, light flashed in front of him. Over a hundred of these threads actually appeared and whistled towards him and Xu Qing. They intersected with each other like a huge net.

Denser anomalous substances spread out.

Clearly, these threads were formed from anomalous substances. From this, it could be seen how powerful Spirit Venerable Nether Fairy was.

Anomalous substances were a taboo weapon against cultivators, and it was already being used by her as restrictions.

Xu Qing’s pupils constricted. At the instant the hundred or so anomalous substance threads slashed over, he immediately controlled the shadow to block in front of him.

In the next moment, the net formed by a hundred or so threads collided with the shadow.

The shadow fluctuated slightly, exuding a playful feeling. The net of threads suddenly trembled and actually blurred in front of the shadow and dissipated.

Because Yanyan was right behind Xu Qing, she was able to avoid the threads.

However, the captain was running too fast and was a little far away, so he could not enjoy the protection of the shadow. ????n????????????????????. ????????????

However, he had his own methods. When the threads arrived, he did not dodge at all. He allowed them to cut through him into pieces.

Right after the thread passed through, the dozens of pieces of flesh quickly rose into the air and gathered together, forming the captain’s body again.

“Haha, Little Qing, what do you think? Are you convinced by my methods…” The captain turned his head back complacently, wanting to show off. However, when he saw that Xu Qing and Yanyan were completely unharmed and the net of threads had automatically disappeared before them, he was stunned for a moment before looking at Xu Qing suspiciously.

“How did you do that?”

Xu Qing blinked and seriously looked into the captain’s eyes as he shook his head.

“They broke on their own. Perhaps the restrictions collapsed too severely, so they lost their effect.”

The captain remained silent. He looked at the red marks on his body, and suddenly felt very tired. He silently walked behind Xu Qing and stood beside Yanyan as he coughed.

“Junior Brother, shall we go?”

Xu Qing glanced at the captain behind him. The captain was also looking at Xu Qing.

Xu Qing didn’t say anything. With a sway of his body, he headed straight for the cave abode ahead. This time, the captain didn’t beat him to it. Instead, he obediently followed behind with Yanyan.

Just like that, the three of them proceeded at top speed. However, they were very cautious as they neared the cave abode.

Along the way, they encountered some restrictions, but they avoided them. The ones they couldn’t avoid were devoured by the shadow since these restrictions contained anomalous substances.

Not long after, the three of them finally arrived in front of the cave. As they stood there, they could even smell the fragrance coming from the abode.

The battle in the sky grew more intense. The furious roar from the first mountain spread everywhere, the second mountain’s skeleton was fighting evenly, and the third mountain’s Spirit Venerable Nether Fairy had turned into three bodies. Her three bodies were being beaten back and were shrieking.

“We have to hurry. Otherwise, if they’re done fighting, we…” Xu Qing immediately spoke up. However, before he could finish speaking, the captain’s eyes shone with intense light as he shot toward the abode.

In an instant, Xu Qing saw the captain biting down on an immortal jade crane sculpture that was placed in the corner and was emitting a resplendent light. It was exquisite, luxurious, and exuded an extraordinary dignity.

With a crack, the crane’s head was eaten by the captain.

“Immortal jade. It’s too luxurious. This thing is good stuff. Even millions of spirit stones can’t buy one of them!” The captain’s voice was filled with excitement as he hurriedly put away the headless crane.

Xu Qing’s speed wasn’t slow either. He stepped into the cave abode and raised his right hand. Instantly, the lanterns in the surroundings flew toward him.

Each of these lamps was extraordinary, and emanated shocking fluctuations. Although they weren’t life lanterns, they were clearly valuable.

...

Xu Qing felt that there would definitely be a lot of treasures in the cave abode of a Nihility cultivator. However, time was tight and he couldn’t investigate them one by one. Hence, he would take as much as he could.

After taking the lanterns, Xu Qing started to move the furniture. As for the captain, he flew up and plucked the embedded beads on the walls. When he noticed Xu Qing moving the furniture, his expression was filled with pride. He felt that Xu Qing was inferior to him in this aspect. Good things naturally would be embedded on the walls.

Xu Qing’s brows furrowed as he turned around and headed straight for the living room. After taking away the large bed there, he also put away the miscellaneous items in the living room.

Generally speaking, the living rooms usually contained personal items. Xu Qing felt that the items here might be better.

The captain blinked and also went to another living room. He even sent out his clone to loot, making his speed much faster than Xu Qing’s.

This cave abode was too big for them to collect all of the items in it in a short period of time. They could only take whatever they saw. When he realized that he was looting faster, the captain felt smug.

“Little Qing, you absorbed more than me last time in the Sea Corpse Race. This time, you definitely won’t absorb as much as me!”

The captain was in a good mood. In truth, ever since the last time, he had always remembered that Xu Qing had absorbed more spiritual liquid and was unconvinced. This time, when he saw that his speed had surpassed Xu Qing’s, he was very happy.

Xu Qing also noticed the speed at which the captain was looting. However, he didn’t bat an eyelid as he swept his gaze out of the cave abode and saw Yanyan walking over.

Yanyan entered the cave abode. She looked at the clean floor, and then at the busy captain. She hesitated for a moment, unsure of what to take, and then a thoughtful look appeared in her eyes.

At this moment, Xu Qing walked over.

...

“Yanyan, what do you think is the most important area for female cultivators?” Xu Qing asked.

“Makeup room?” Yanyan said without a second thought. Xu Qing’s eyes lit up. After looking around, he locked onto a side room and quickly walked over.

After opening the side room, even with Xu Qing’s willpower, he gasped and his eyes widened.

Shockingly, there were dozens of mirrors of various sizes in this side room. Each of them emanated extraordinary fluctuations, and it was obvious that they were of astonishing quality. There were also a large number of bottles and jars, and the room was filled with a strong medicinal fragrance as well as Immortal Qi.

Farther away, there were also clothes racks. Treasure dresses that emitted a terrifying aura were neatly hung there. Every single one of them made Xu Qing’s breathing quicken.

The immortal jades and all sorts of rare treasures on the dresses caused the illusory Heavenly Palaces in Xu Qing’s body to tremble. He instinctively felt that there was something here that could allow his Heavenly Palaces to quickly turn corporeal.

The shadow was also excited. It stared fixedly at the bottles and jars. It sensed some special items that were very useful for its advancement.

It was the same for the Diamond Sect’s ancestor. He stared at the mirrors. His intuition told him that artifact spirits were sealed in these mirrors, and devouring these artifact spirits would be much more beneficial to his cultivation than devouring souls.

Xu Qing drew in a deep breath. Without another word, he waved his hand and instantly kept the mirrors and bottles here. Yanyan also helped to keep them.

Unfortunately, those dresses were very strange and were too big. There was even light emanating from them, making it impossible for him to store them in his storage bag. This made Xu Qing feel a little regretful.

Very soon, the captain sensed something and rushed over from the outside. After walking in, before he could take a clear look at his surroundings, Xu Qing immediately pointed at the clothes rack in the distance.

“Eldest Senior Brother, the treasure dresses are there!”
