The Northern Plains had always been desolate and lonely, rarely hearing human voices, but today it was exceptionally lively. Thunderous curses could be heard from dozens of miles away.
A group of powerful cultivators chased two individuals, their streaks of light tearing through the sky. Various offensive techniques were unleashed one after another, golden light surging like a mighty ocean. The aftermath of the battle spilled out, collapsing mountains.
"Azure Flood Dragon King, Tu Tian, aren't you going to return the Saintess?"
"The Northern Plains isn't the Eastern Barrens! If you offend our Golden Family, you'll have no place to stand on this land!"
However, the two being chased clearly didn't take their words to heart.
Both were peak powerful cultivators. Tu Tian even possessed a half Extreme Dao Weapon. If they truly fought, they might not necessarily fear their opponents, but they hadn't come to the Northern Plains to fight, so they naturally didn't bother wasting their divine energy.
Tu Tian held the Sky-devouring Demonic Pot above his head. The Demonic Jar released strands of Extreme Dao aura, blocking all attacks coming from behind him!
"My in-laws, no need to see us off! Once my grandson and your Saintess are married, I'll return the courtesy!"
Tu Tian laughed triumphantly. If he hadn't been provoked by that little guy named Ye Fan, he wouldn't have bullied those weaker than him!
It was just that his own grandson was too disappointing, constantly talking about stealing the Saintess, but he hadn't even seen a glimpse of her yet.
At this rate, when would he get to hold his great-grandson?
After laughing, he looked at Azure Flood Dragon King with some confusion. "Brother Azure Dragon, is it possible that the Northern Plains aristocratic families are much stronger than the Holy Lands in the Eastern Barrens, to be able to send so many powerful cultivators to chase us?"
This was unusual. Although the major Holy Lands and aristocratic families had many powerful cultivators, a large portion of them needed to guard their stone houses and markets outside. The number truly stationed in their sects and clan territories wouldn't be too many.
After all, the prestige of the Holy Lands was well-established, and they had various foundations. No normal person would possibly attack a Holy Land.
Although they were both among the Thirteen Great Bandits, he didn't know much about the Azure Flood Dragon King's past. He had only heard that the Azure Flood Dragon King originated from the Heavenly Demon Palace, and the Heavenly Demon Palace had always had continuous friction with the Golden Family. He assumed the Azure Flood Dragon King knew more about the Golden Family than he did.
The Azure Flood Dragon King was burly and imposing. Hearing Tu Tian's question, he explained, "The Northern Plains is barren and lacks resources, but correspondingly, there are also fewer Holy Land-level forces than in the Eastern Barrens. With less external competitive pressure, it's not strange that they can deploy more personnel than the Holy Lands in the Eastern Barrens. However, this number today is indeed a bit abnormal!"
"I suspect they intend to form a marriage alliance, which is why so many powerful cultivators have gathered!"
"Right, I was wondering where an aristocratic family would get a Saintess from. Most likely, it's to raise their status through a marriage alliance!" Tu Tian showed no remorse for cuckolding others. Instead, he asked with interest, "Brother Azure Dragon, who do you think they plan to form an alliance with? The Wang Family of the Northern Plains? The Jiang Family of the Northern Region?"
The Azure Flood Dragon King said gravely, "In recent years, I've occasionally heard rumors of Primordial Creatures awakening in various places. To gather so many powerful cultivators from the Golden Family, perhaps only certain Primordial Royal Families have that ability!"
"No wonder they're acting so desperate. Wait... a marriage alliance with a Primordial Creature?" Tu Tian froze, then asked after a moment of silence, "Something just occurred to me. There's a rumor that the Golden Family has the bloodline of Primordial Creatures. So their true form..."
"The thinner the bloodline, the closer they are to humans! To be chosen as a Saintess, her bloodline is naturally among the richest!" The usually stern Azure Flood Dragon King rarely teased, "Are you perhaps worried that your grandson will be scared by this Saintess? Maybe he'll even like this wild beauty?"
Tu Tian gritted his teeth. He had intended to make this Saintess his grandson's wife, so he naturally hadn't used his divine sense to probe her, thus failing to discover any issues.
If he brought her back, and she became overly excited on their wedding night and suddenly revealed her true form, he worried his grandson would simply shrivel up!
After a long period of dejection, Tu Tian shook his head. "Forget it, children and grandchildren have their own fortunes. Let's return this Saintess to them!"
With that, Tu Tian stopped in mid-air and released a sealed young woman from an ancient pottery jar.
The young woman was sealed and unable to move, only able to glare angrily at Tu Tian.
The powerful cultivators chasing them also stopped their attacks, worried about harming the young woman.
"Tu Tian, what do you want?"
"You're a powerful cultivator yourself. Don't resort to the despicable act of using a junior as a shield!"
Tu Tian snorted, "Are you blind?! Which eye of yours saw your grandpa here wanting to use her as a shield?"
The Golden Family's powerful cultivator ignored his insults and frowned, asking, "Then what do you want?"
"Didn't you want me to release her? Then catch!"
Tu Tian held the young woman's back and threw her backward like a javelin.
He wasn't worried about the young woman's safety. Although her cultivation was sealed, her Four Extremities physique remained.
Not to mention, this young woman had the bloodline of a Primordial Creature within her, and her physical strength far surpassed others at the same level!
Seeing Tu Tian treat their Saintess in such a manner, the powerful cultivators cursed and sped off toward the Saintess.
However, they didn't leave anyone behind to continue the chase.
Since the other party had already released her, they didn't want to pursue too closely.
After all, those two held a half Extreme Dao Weapon!
Just as Tu Tian and Azure Flood Dragon King were about to flee in the opposite direction from where the young woman was thrown, an angry shout came from the direction of the thrown Golden Saintess: "Caw! Which bastard threw a hidden weapon?!"
Hearing that "caw," the Azure Flood Dragon King suddenly froze. "Could it be Old Brother Crow?"
Tu Tian's eyes widened. "No way it's such a coincidence, right? I just randomly threw someone and hit the person we were looking for on this trip?"
The Azure Flood Dragon King was quite speechless. After a moment of silence, he sighed, "I believe you now. That Demonic Jar of yours really was picked up!"
Tu Tian chuckled, saying nothing more. He knew how much his experiences were envied.
Even if the major Holy Lands opened up tombs, they might not find a single Saint Weapon, but he, on the other hand, picked up a half Extreme Dao Emperor Armament by the roadside. Who could he complain to about that?
The three individuals who had just emerged from the snowy region were a bit bewildered. They were flying along when suddenly, a young woman shot toward them like a speeding "arrow"!
Are hidden weapons this exaggerated these days?
Crow King took the "hidden weapon" without hesitation, then looked around defensively, worried that this "hidden weapon" was deliberately used to attract his attention!
The Golden Saintess was mortified. How unlucky was she today? She was at home, eating spiritual fruits and humming a tune, when she was suddenly robbed by a Great Bandit!
Having barely escaped its clutches, it was then picked up and used as a "hidden weapon," completely losing face!
Several streaks of light flew across the sky, and a group of powerful cultivators from the Golden Family stopped in mid-air, surrounding the three.
"You Taoist, release the Saintess at once!"
Crow King's expression was grim. If this had been before, and someone dared speak to him like that, he would have already started a fight!
However, he was now serving his master, so it was best not to casually make enemies. He released the young woman and, suppressing his anger, said, "Be more careful next time. Don't just throw people around!"
