Chapter 1274: Unfathomable
“What!?”
Xu Hu’s expression changed drastically. He looked at the guard who was covered in blood and exclaimed, “How could this be? The people we sent out are all the most elite powerhouses of the chamber of commerce. Who would be so bold?”
The guard’s expression was unsightly. He gritted his teeth and said, “I don’t know either. They were all masked, and there was even a powerhouse in the law boundary. We simply couldn’t stop them. Most of our people were brutally killed by them. I was lucky to have escaped as I used the Small Manifestation Talisman.”
“The law boundary. No wonder!”
A powerhouse in the law boundary was considered a top-tier existence in the Great Wide World.
If such a powerhouse took one more step, he would be comparable to the chamber of commerce’s president. It was normal that their powerhouses could not stop him.
3 days were almost up.
Ou Yangming also walked out of the room. He came to the second floor and saw this scene. He slightly frowned.
“What’s wrong?” Ou Yangming asked.
Xu Hu took a step forward and came to Ou Yangming’s side. He said respectfully, “Sir, we’ve bought all the Ancient Demons’ blood essences of the chamber of commerce and the ones on the market here. Most of them have come to our side, but the ones from the Northern Blade Immortal City were stolen.”
“How many blood essences are there over there?” Ou Yangming slightly raised his head. He did not expect that even the blood essences would be stolen.
They were not very useful to humans. Only Ou Yangming, who was proficient in the Sky-devouring Art and had a body as strong as a Devil King, could easily absorb them.
Xu Hu said in a deep voice, “Sir, the Northern Blade Immortal City has many subordinate cities. Those cities will first gather the blood essences, which are then escorted here. There are quite a lot of Ancient Demons’ blood essences over there. According to their report before they set off, there should be more than 35,000 kilograms.”
More than 35,000 grams! They would be enough for Ou Yangming to fuse more than 1,000 Dripping Blood Stones.
Ou Yangming frowned slightly. He looked at the guard who was covered in blood and said, “Tell me all their characteristics.”
“Quickly tell Ruler Ming. We can’t miss anything,” Xu Hu also said sternly.
When the guard heard the way Xu Hu addressed Ou Yangming, his eyes widened. After a long while, he nervously recounted what had happened not long ago.
After Ou Yangming heard what happened, he glanced toward the north. A powerful mental power burst out from his mind.
In terms of the mental power, Ou Yangming was no different from a third step-realm powerhouse. He had not broken through to the third step of the laws because the powers of his law were stuck at bottlenecks. Compared to the third step of the laws, he might be more powerful in other aspects.
Those 50 years at the Enlightenment Pavilion were not a waste of time.
An elite warrior in the third step of the law could cover an entire continent with just a thought.
Although the Zhenwu Continent was massive and it was impossible to cover every place, it was still quite easy to have a clear target.
According to the characteristics given by the guard, Ou Yangming quickly found the targets.
“Found them.” After a moment, Ou Yangming said lightly.
“Sir, who are they?”
Xu Hu was amazed at Ou Yangming’s ability. The distance between the 2 Immortal Cities was extremely far. He had not expected that the young fellow would find the ones who had stolen the Ancient Demons’ blood essences so quickly.
“I think they should be the people from the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce. Those villains are all in the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce now.” Ou Yangming withdrew his gaze.
“It’s really them!
“Damn that b*stard!”
Xu Hu clenched his fists. His face was filled with anger.
“What’s wrong?” Ou Yangming raised his head.
Xu Hu said in a deep voice, “Sir, you have no idea. The Hengtong Chamber of Commerce is despicable and shameless. When our people helped you buy the Ancient Demons’ blood essences, they increased the price by more than 20 times but because of you, sir, we gritted our teeth and bought them. We didn’t expect that they’d still rob us on the way. They’ve gone too far.”
“Is that so?” A hint of displeasure flashed across Ou Yangming’s face.
Xu Hu said with certainty, “It’s absolutely true.”
Ou Yangming’s mental power once again flew out of his body. The Hengtong Chamber of Commerce far away in the Northern Blade Immortal City clearly appeared in his mind.
In the backyard of the chamber of commerce, the people who robbed the Ancient Demons’ blood essences were all here. The gate of the courtyard was pushed open, and a man in a black robe walked in.
“President.” Everyone saluted in unison.
The black-robed man had just broken through to the second step of the law boundary, and his strength was at the top of the Great Wide World. His gaze swept over everyone, and he said with a smile, “You guys did well.”
Among the group of black-robed men, a brawny man said with a smile, “President, we’ve made a big profit this time. We sold 10,000 kilograms of the Ancient Demons’ blood essences to the Glorious Treasure Chamber of Commerce for more than 20 times their original price. Now, we’ve snatched more than 35,000 kilograms of the blood essences from them on the way. When the president of the Glorious Treasure Chamber of Commerce finds out about this, he’ll be so angry that he’ll vomit blood.”
“It won’t be to the extent of vomiting blood, but we can be sure that it’ll greatly damage their vitality.”
The black-robed man smiled slightly and asked, “Where are the items?”
“Here.”
The black-robed man took out a few large jars from his interspatial ring. These jars were all special magic treasures, and the spaces inside were very large. These jars were filled to the brim.
Seeing these Ancient Demons’ blood essences, the black-robed man had a smile on his face.
With a wave of his hand, he stored all of the Ancient Demons’ blood essences into his interspatial ring. Then, he narrowed his eyes and said, “Unfortunately, we planned it too late. We could only set up a plan in the Northern Blade Immortal City. If we had known their movements earlier and sent people to rob the other places, we would’ve gained more.
“No one expected them to be so crazy. They bought almost all the Ancient Demons’ blood essences that could be bought on the market. This time, they probably lost a third of their treasury,” the black-clothed old man said with a smile.
Seeing this, Ou Yangming was sure that they were the ones behind this.
He had a dangerous look in his eyes. Not only did these guys steal his Ancient Demons’ blood essences in the Northern Blade Immortal City, but they also coveted the ones sent from other places.
“You’re courting death!” Ou Yangming suddenly shouted coldly.
This voice sounded in the sky above the courtyard.
Everyone’s bodies trembled, and they raised their heads in disbelief.
“Who was it?”
Everyone had a vigilant look on their faces. They had no idea where the voice came from.
Qiu Ren also raised his head. He scanned the sky but even with his second-step cultivation, he did not discover anything.
It was not just them. The powerhouses near the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce had also he voice. Countless people raised their heads, looking for the source of the voice. Everyone knew that the person who spoke must be a powerhouse.
“You stole my things, and you still dare to ask who I am?” Ou Yangming questioned indifferently.
If anyone had not heard him clearly just now, this time, everyone heard him clearly.
“Stole things?”
“Who would dare steal something from that powerhouse? Putting aside everything else, just his voice alone proves that he must be very powerful.”
The surrounding powerhouses looked left and right. Finally, someone noticed that the voice from the side near the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce became even more intense.
“Could it be that this Hengtong Chamber of Commerce stole something from the powerhouse?” Someone gloated as he looked in the direction of the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce.
As the greatest chamber of commerce in the Northern Blade Immortal sect, the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce did not have a good reputation. There were cases of people being ripped off by them from time to time, which caused many people to be dissatisfied. Now that they were in trouble, many people were somewhat excited.
“Senior, is there a misunderstanding? Why would we steal from you, sir?”
Qiu Ren’s expression was unsightly. He raised his head to look at the sky, and he had a bad premonition in his heart.
It had been a long time since they had stolen something. If they had stolen something, it would be the Ancient Demons’ blood essences of the Glorious Treasures Chamber of Commerce. It belonged to the Glorious Treasures Chamber of Commerce. What did it have to do with this mysterious person?
“A misunderstanding?” A few sneers came from the sky.
“You killed the Glorious Treasures Chamber of Commerce’s people and took away the Ancient Demons’ blood essences I bought. Is this a misunderstanding?”
Everyone was in an uproar, and discussions broke out everywhere.
It was no wonder that the Glorious Treasure Chamber of Commerce had been frantically buying the Ancient Demons’ blood essences these few days. It turned out that they were buying it for this powerhouse. At first, everyone thought that the Glorious Treasure Chamber of Commerce was crazy, spending so much money to buy so many flashy yet impractical things. It turned out that there was such a reason behind it.
“The Hengtong Chamber of Commerce is too shameless. They’re one of the top 10 chambers of commerce, after all. How could they do such a thing?”
“Isn’t the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce always like this? There’s nothing strange about it.”
Obviously, some people knew the characters of the people from the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce.
The faces of the people in the courtyard changed at the same time.
It was not a misunderstanding that they had stolen the Ancient Demons’ blood essences. Given that the other party had such a mysterious ability, the people wondered if he had heard their conversation just now.
“Sir, you must’ve misunderstood. We really didn’t steal anything from you!”
They definitely could not admit it at this time. Admitting it would be equivalent to destroying their reputation. In the future, everyone would know the character of their chamber of commerce. How could there be anyone else who would cooperate with them?
Qiu Ren stared at the sky. “Sir, our chamber of commerce and the Northern Blade Sect have some relations. Please, sir, for the sake of the sect, don’t make things difficult for us.”
“Haha, the Northern Blade Sect can’t protect themselves. I’m afraid they won’t be able to save you.” The voice in the sky sounded again.
Qiu Ren originally thought that the other party was only a second-step powerhouse and could not be detected only because of his special method. He would never have thought that Ou Yangming was 500,000 kilometers away in another Immortal City.
“You stole from me so die and apologize!” Ou Yangming shouted coldly.
“You’re deliberately being mysterious. If you’re capable, come out and try!” Qiu Ren provoked him.
Ou Yangming did not pay attention to the other party. With a shake of his wrist, the Reincarnation Spear appeared in his hand.
“Nothingness!”
A stream of light flew out from the spear and instantly disappeared without a trace.
Ou Yangming withdrew his gaze and looked at the people around him. “Ask the people from your chamber of commerce to bring the things over.”
“Sir, they…” Xu Hu asked nervously.
“They’re already dead,” Ou Yangming said.
Dead!
Qiu Ren’s strength was in the second step of the law boundary, and he was only slightly weaker than the Glorious Treasures Chamber of Commerce’s president. They were separated by 500,000 kilometers, yet Ou Yangming had killed those people.
His strength as a Ruler was indeed unfathomable.
