Not a Loss

This time, only Mo Tang and Xiao Yi Xian were traveling together. Moreover, Mo Tang's cultivation had already broken through to the Two-Star Dou Emperor, so the two of them were naturally very fast. In just one day, they left the territory of the Jia Ma Empire.

Of course, traveling non-stop is very tedious, especially since Mo Tang and his companion weren't in a hurry. So whenever they encountered mountains and dense forests rich in spiritual energy, the two would stop and search for them.

High-grade medicinal herbs are more likely to be found in such wild and desolate mountains.

Of course, most high-level Spirit Medicine are guarded by powerful Demonic Beast, so Mo Tang inevitably had to fight some of the powerful Demonic Beast in the mountains along the way.

As he traveled, killing and searching, Mo Tang found quite a few good things, including several fourth and fifth-tier Magic Core.

This is the benefit of improving one's strength.

When he returned from the Black Corner Region, Mo Tang, who was only Dou Wang level cultivator, did not dare to be so presumptuous, for fear of being hunted down by those powerful Demonic Beast.

But now he has not only advanced to the Dou Emperor, but he also has the Dou Zong, Xiao Yi Xian, by his side. As long as they don't encounter Seventh-Rank Magical Beast, they can't do anything to them.

That feeling of grabbing and leaving is fucking thrilling!

And so, the journey took more than three months...

Although a lot of time was wasted, the gains were still good. At least Mo Tang now has more than two thousand more Energy Points on the System Panel.

"Where are we headed for our first stop?" Xiao Yi Xian asked, looking at the Black Corner Region Great Plains that stretched out before them like a curtain of darkness.

Mo Tang pondered for a moment.

His purpose in coming to the Black Corner Region was simple: to spend all the massive amount of Gold Coins he had and exchange them for resources that could help him improve his strength.

In this Black Corner Region, almost every city regularly holds Auction ...

However, such individual events are not large in scale, so they are unlikely to arouse the interest of Mo Tang.

However, every now and then, some extremely powerful forces in the Black Corner Region would join forces with other forces to gather a large number of auction items together and hold a joint large-scale Auction...

Auction of this scale is practically a major event in the Black Corner Region, and the quality and rarity of the items auctioned are enough to attract countless powerful figures and forces from the Black Corner Region.

This kind of Auction is Mo Tang's real target, so besides buying items in the cities they encounter, they need to find out which forces in the Black Corner Region are preparing to hold such a large-scale Auction during this period.

They arrived at a city called Dongshi City, a second-rate city that was not very large, but Mo Tang still found a medicine shop in the city that looked quite large.

After entering the medicine shop, Mo Tang acted like a nouveau riche, throwing away millions of Gold Coins and looting all the intermediate-grade medicinal herbs and pills that met his system's standards.

His actions not only startled the surrounding customers, but also attracted the attention of the Dongshi Mercenary Group, the city's rulers.

"Commander, those two are obviously greenhorns who have just come out into the world. Not only do they spend money recklessly, but they also don't know how to restrain themselves at all!"

That's millions of Gold Coins! He just threw them away without even blinking. I'm sure that man has even more Gold Coins on him!

A scarred man with a sinister and ferocious expression was instigating Liao Dongshi, the leader of the Dongshi Mercenary Group.

The Dongshi Mercenary Group is considered a near-first-class force in the Black Corner Region. Its leader, Liao Dongshi, possesses the strength of Eight-Star Dou King, and its two deputy leaders are also initial-stage Dou Wang, so they are quite well-known.

After the scarred man's continued persuasion, Liao Dongshi could no longer resist the temptation of money and immediately made a decision. "All the elites of the mercenary group will be deployed, and I will personally lead the team. Even if the opponent is a Dou Emperor, I'm determined to get this piece of meat!"

To be honest, if the entire elite Dongshi Mercenary Group were to be deployed, they might actually be able to wear down an early-stage Dou Emperor.

This is also the source of his confidence to do this risk-free business.

After leaving the city, Mo Tang and his companion hadn't gone far when they noticed someone following them.

"Hehe, it seems our actions in the city have attracted quite a few interested parties," Mo Tang said with a smile.

Xiao Yi Xian could only remain speechless.

Because she knew very well that this guy had been so flamboyant before, probably with this in mind.

Although it was her first time visiting the Black Corner Region, Xiao Yi Xian had heard of its great reputation.

In such a chaotic place, given Mo Tang's behavior just now, it would be abnormal if no one noticed, right?

"These people are worth you designing like this?" Xiao Yi Xian couldn't help but ask.

Its meaning is self-evident.

A group of second-rate forces whose strongest members are no more than Dou Wang —isn't it a bit beneath Mo Tang to design them this way?

Mo Tang simply shrugged at this.

"You can't say that; it was all their own choice."

Just as the two stopped to discuss whether it was worth it, the Dongshi Mercenary Group had already surrounded them.

"Kill them!"

Without a word, Liao Dongshi immediately issued a kill order.

Mo Tang was speechless upon seeing this.

As the villain, shouldn't you at least say a few lines to increase your screen time? You're not playing by the rules...

But forget it, Mo Tang really had no interest in saying anything more to a bunch of nameless extras.

Looking at the enemies charging towards them—four Dou Ling and more than twenty Da Dou Shi —their strength was already extremely formidable.

What's more, there are three guys behind them who are clearly the leaders, and they're all Dou Wang...

"Great Wind Tearing Hand!"

The cyan energy rapidly condensed in Mo Tang's palm before being unleashed with a single strike.

In an instant, countless sharp whirlwinds, like steel blades, tore the charging elites to pieces.

The scene was so bloody that it had to be blurred out.

"Oh no, the opponent is Dou Emperor!"

Although Liao Dongshi's words indicated that he was not afraid of Dou Emperor, judging from the opponent's combat power, he had wiped out all of his elites with a single palm strike. How could he possibly fight back?

With just these three of them, how many blows could the opponent deliver?

"Run!"

In an instant, Liao Dongshi and the other two made the right choice.

Unfortunately, they underestimated the young couple opposite them...

The stunning woman in white simply made a gesture, and the space around the three of them instantly became like a quagmire. No matter how much they tried to unleash their fighting Dou Qi, they could not break free from this oppressive force.

Shaking his head, Mo Tang took out the Chasing Moon Bow and three Black Dragon Iron Spine Arrow, and with one arrow, he shot three in quick succession, instantly taking the lives of the three men.

After looting the corpse, he went to the Dongshi Mercenary Group's base and searched it, finding only a few Magic Core and less than six million Gold Coins.

Although there were some things that Mo Tang was not satisfied with, at least he made back the money he had spent, so it wasn't a loss!
