Taking Advantage of the Fire
“Success!” After the shock, a thick joy appeared on Nan Mu Jue’s face.
His daughter had activated the sacred body. Their Nan family was about to rise!
In a short time, the light on Nan Mu Ling’s body dissipated, and her aura converged.
However, Nan Mu Ling seemed like a completely different person. Her temperament was otherworldly, as if she were a saintess detached from the mortal world.
“Father, I succeeded!” Nan Mu Ling said to Nan Mu Jue. Although her temperament had undergone a huge change, her personality remained unchanged. Even at this moment, her face showed no great ripples.
Nan Mu Jue nodded excitedly and said, “Daughter, quickly send out the signal to head to the Holy Heaven Gate!”
Nan Mu Ling nodded and followed Nan Mu Jue out of the underground palace, appearing in the palace of the city lord’s mansion.
At this time, the ground was still trembling. Nan Mu Jue and Nan Mu Ling soon reached the palace entrance.
Gazing at the barrier of the city protection grand array and the massive wave-like impact fluctuations ahead, Nan Mu Jue could not help but sigh, “If it were not for the ancestor setting up the blocking array for the secret realm’s destruction, probably the entire area would no longer exist.”
The destruction of the secret realm involved the shattering of a huge space, with unimaginable power. This secret realm had been set by the Nan family’s ancestor to self-destruct without affecting this space, with an array.
However, the destructive power of the secret realm was too great. It would still have some impact on the area they were in, with some energy spilling out.
Even just a small amount of energy caused such a huge commotion.
Not to mention the entire space exploding. If the full power were released, the city protection grand array of Ling Xi City probably could not withstand it.
After a while, the commotion gradually subsided, and the city protection grand array also disappeared. Only rolling dust seeped into Ling Xi City.
“Go!” At this moment, Nan Mu Jue sighed, his gaze fixed ahead, not looking at Nan Mu Ling.
“Father, I will definitely not disappoint your expectations!” Nan Mu Ling cupped her hands towards Nan Mu Jue and made a solemn promise.
Then, she decisively turned around and shot out low in the air towards the outside of the city lord’s mansion, disappearing into the sky full of dust.
After Nan Mu Ling disappeared, only then did Nan Mu Jue turn around and look towards the direction where Nan Mu Ling had vanished, his eyes filled with melancholy.
“Hiss!”
At this moment, a black-clothed, masked person with a converged aura suddenly appeared in front of Nan Mu Jue, respectfully cupping his hands and saying, “City Lord!”
Nan Mu Jue looked at this black-clothed person and ordered, “Gather the wealth of all those who came to the secret realm. Not a single one from the Four Valleys should be spared.”
“Yes!” The black-clothed person quickly retreated.
“This secret realm belongs to my Nan family. If they come to compete for resources, they must be prepared to be plundered.”
Sighing once, as if nothing had happened, Nan Mu Jue turned around and walked back into the palace.
In another void.
Lin Xiao flew out for several thousand li, then turned around and flew back towards Ling Xi City again.
He had never encountered a situation where the secret realm shattered explosively. He was also very curious about what results the secret realm’s explosion would cause.
Moreover, he had an intention. If Zou Yun and the others had not died, he would go back and send Zou Yun on her way.
Anyway, his whereabouts had been exposed, and Zou Yun and the others wanted to kill him. It would be better to strike the Spirit Phoenix Valley again.
Killing such a genius would surely make the Spirit Phoenix Valley feel heartbroken.
It did not take long for Lin Xiao to fly back to the outskirts of Ling Xi City. Seeing the dust filling the sky, he immediately dispersed the energy on the Void Heaven Phoenix Wings, causing the Void Heaven Phoenix Wings to slow down.
When the Void Heaven Phoenix Wings completely stopped, Lin Xiao had arrived at the outskirts affected by the dust.
Roughly estimating, this place was still one or two hundred li from Ling Xi City, and several hundred li from the position where the secret realm had exploded in the other direction of Ling Xi City.
However, it was still enveloped by the rolling dust, showing how great the commotion from the secret realm’s explosive destruction had been.
At this time, Lin Xiao saw beams of saber light and sword glow constantly emerging from the dust filling the sky across the entire radius of several hundred li area. The sounds of sabers and swords clashing rose from all directions.
The entire area seemed to be in great chaos.
“Hmm?” Lin Xiao was surprised. Were the people in the dust fighting?
“Could it be taking advantage of the fire, or did something from the secret realm explode out?”
Lin Xiao was curious and stored away the Void Heaven Phoenix Wings, immediately plunging into the dust-filled area.
The height of his flight also lowered immediately. Through the dust, he could still see distances within several hundred meters. This area was still full of mountains and ridges. It seemed that Ling Xi City ahead had blocked the fluctuations.
And in these mountains and ridges, he also saw some corpses, some shattered beyond recognition by the impact, with wounds of various kinds.
Some people were severely injured, lying on the ground or sitting to heal.
Some with lighter injuries kept rushing outward. When they saw him flying over, their faces showed expressions of terror, and they immediately dodged away.
It seemed they were afraid he would kill and rob them.
Regarding this, Lin Xiao did not chase after them. After all, these people had no grudge against him.
After flying for a short while, Lin Xiao saw several people starting to抢夺 the storage rings from a few corpses ahead, and they began fighting.
“It really is taking advantage of the fire!” Lin Xiao thought to himself.
These people had no injuries on their bodies, and their strength was not strong.
It seemed they were originally people who had not gone to watch the secret realm and had not been affected by the commotion in Ling Xi City. Taking advantage of the fact that countless people were affected by the secret realm’s explosion, they came out to rob others’ storage rings.
It must be known that the number of people who went to the outskirts of the secret realm’s glow was as many as tens of thousands, and there were also some Martial Emperor powerhouses. Each person’s storage ring contained all their wealth. A large number of storage rings accumulated would be an enormous fortune.
Even if they only robbed one or two, if they were from people with higher strength, it was possible to become rich overnight, or even obtain others’ great opportunities.
This was an opportunity for quick wealth plundering.
“Puff!” “Puff!” “Puff!”
Ahead, there were originally several people competing for storage rings. Suddenly, a masked black-clothed person appeared, passing by the several people at an extremely fast speed.
One person, one saber, consecutively killing them, and smoothly taking their storage rings into his bag.
Finally, he also took the storage rings from the original corpses on the ground into his bag.
“There’s still one more person!” At this moment, the black-clothed person discovered Lin Xiao and immediately shot towards Lin Xiao with agility.
This person had a not-weak ability to conceal his aura. Ordinary people would probably find it difficult to detect.
However, with Lin Xiao’s strength, he could still probe it.
This person’s cultivation had already reached the ninth level of Martial Monarch.
Moreover, it was the extremely strong kind, very likely having reached the combat power of half-step Martial Emperor.
With such strength, intercepting and killing some low-tier Martial Monarchs was indeed effortless.
But for Lin Xiao, this level of strength was still not enough to watch.
When this black-clothed person rushed close, Lin Xiao’s spiritual power moved and directly attached to the black-clothed person’s head.
In this place with dust filling the sky, he also did not need to hold back.
“High-grade spiritual controller!” The black-clothed person was greatly shocked. He never expected that a youth of merely twenty years old would possess such powerful spiritual power.
However, no matter how quickly he urged his origin power in the first moment to try to disperse that spiritual power, it was still unable to disperse it.
The next moment, with a crisp crack, his neck was twisted, and he immediately perished, dying with eyes wide open.
Lin Xiao’s spiritual power moved, collecting this black-clothed person’s storage ring, as well as the pile of storage rings in his clothing pouch.
Originally, he was prepared to continue flying forward, but he suddenly stopped, his gaze curiously looking towards the head that had flown out, still masked.
Lin Xiao could not help but be curious. What exactly was this person? With so many people killing and robbing, why did he have to wear black clothes and a mask?
With a move of spiritual power, Lin Xiao immediately tore off the black cloth covering his face.
