Suddenly Kidnapped by a Great Bandit

The Northern Plains had always been desolate and lonely, with scarcely a human voice to be heard. Yet today, it was exceptionally lively; thunderous curses could be heard from dozens of miles away.

A group of mighty cultivators chased two men, streams of light tearing through the sky as all manner of powerful killing techniques were unleashed in succession. Golden radiance surged like towering waves, and the aftershocks of battle poured outward, collapsing mountain after mountain.

"Azure Flood Dragon King, Tu Tian, return the Saintess at once!"

"The Northern Plains are not the Eastern Wasteland! Offend our Golden Family, and there will be no place for you on this land!"

However, the two men being pursued clearly did not take their words to heart.

Both were supreme mighty cultivators. Tu Tian even possessed half an Extreme Dao Weapon. If they truly fought, they might not fear their opponents, but they had not come to the Northern Plains to fight, so naturally they could not be bothered to waste divine power.

The Sky-devouring Demonic Pot hovered above Tu Tian's head, strands of Extreme Dao aura descending from it and blocking every attack from behind them!

"Dear in-laws, no need to see us off! Once my grandson marries your Saintess, I'll come back with wedding gifts!"

Tu Tian laughed smugly. If that little fellow called Ye Fan had not provoked him, he would not have wanted to bully the young as an elder!

His own grandson was simply too disappointing. He went on every day about stealing a Saintess, yet he had not even caught sight of one so far.

At this rate, when would he ever get to hold his great-grandson?

After laughing, he looked at the person beside him in confusion. "Brother Azure Flood Dragon, could it be that the great clans of the Northern Plains are far stronger than the holy lands of the Eastern Wasteland? They actually sent so many mighty cultivators after us?"

This was hardly normal. While the major Holy Land Families had quite a few mighty cultivators, a large portion of them needed to guard their stone workshops and markets elsewhere. There were actually not many left to oversee their sects and ancestral grounds.

After all, the prestige of holy lands was there for all to see, and they possessed all kinds of hidden foundations. Anyone with a functioning brain would never think of attacking a holy land.

Though both were among the Thirteen Great Bandits, he did not know much about Azure Flood Dragon King's past. He had merely heard that Azure Flood Dragon King came from the Heavenly Demon Palace, which had always clashed with the Golden Family. Presumably, he knew far more about the Golden Family than Tu Tian did.

Azure Flood Dragon King was broad and imposing, his aura soaring into the heavens. Hearing Tu Tian's question, he explained, "The Northern Plains are barren and lack resources, but correspondingly, there are far fewer Holy Land-level forces here than in the Eastern Wasteland. With less pressure from outside competition, it is not strange that they can mobilize more people than the holy lands of the Eastern Wasteland. Still, today's numbers are indeed somewhat unusual!"

"I suspect they were planning a marriage alliance, which is why they gathered so many mighty cultivators!"

"That makes sense. I was wondering how a great clan could have a Saintess. They were probably using her to raise their value for a marriage alliance!" Tu Tian showed no awareness whatsoever that he had cuckolded someone, instead asking with great interest, "Brother Azure Flood Dragon, who do you think they planned to ally with? The Wang Family of the Northern Plains? The Jiang Family of the Northern Region?"

Azure Flood Dragon King said gravely, "In recent years, I have occasionally heard rumors of Primordial Creatures awakening across various regions. To gather so many mighty cultivators from the Golden Family, I fear only certain Primordial Royal Families would have such influence!"

"No wonder they were so anxious. Wait... a marriage alliance with Primordial Creatures?" Tu Tian froze for a moment, then asked after a brief silence, "I suddenly remembered something. It is said that the Golden Family has Primordial Creature bloodlines. Then their true forms..."

"The thinner the bloodline, the closer they are to humans! Since she was chosen as the Saintess, her bloodline must naturally be among the purest!" Azure Flood Dragon King, who rarely joked, teased him for once. "Are you worried that your grandson will be frightened by this Saintess? Perhaps he might actually like that kind of wild beauty?"

Tu Tian gritted his teeth. He had intended to make this Saintess his grandson's wife, so naturally he had not used Divine Sense to inspect her and had failed to notice the issue.

If he brought her back and she got too excited on their wedding night, suddenly revealing her true form, he feared his grandson would go limp on the spot!

After brooding for quite some time, Tu Tian shook his head. "Forget it. Children and grandchildren have their own fortunes. We should return this Saintess to them!"

As he spoke, Tu Tian stopped in midair and released a sealed young woman from the ancient earthen jar.

The young woman was sealed and unable to move, so she could only glare furiously at Tu Tian.

The mighty cultivators chasing them also stopped attacking, wary of injuring the young woman.

"Tu Tian, what are you trying to do?"

"You are a mighty cultivator in your own right. Do not commit such a despicable act as using a junior for a shield!"

Tu Tian snorted coldly. "Are you blind? Which of your dog eyes saw your grandpa here using her as a shield?"

The Golden Family's mighty cultivators ignored the insult in his words and asked with furrowed brows, "Then what do you want?"

"Didn't you want me to release her? Then catch!"

Supporting the young woman's back, Tu Tian hurled her toward the rear like a spear.

He was not worried about her safety. Though her cultivation had been sealed, her Four Extremities Realm physique remained.

Not to mention that Primordial Creature blood flowed within her, making her body far stronger than others at the same level!

Seeing Tu Tian treat their Saintess so roughly, the mighty cultivators cursed furiously and sped toward her.

However, they did not leave anyone behind to continue the pursuit.

Since the other side had already released her, they did not wish to press too hard.

After all, those two possessed half an Extreme Dao Weapon!

Just as Tu Tian and Azure Flood Dragon King were preparing to flee in the opposite direction from where they had thrown the young woman, an angry shout suddenly came from that direction: "Caw! Which bastard threw that hidden weapon?"

Hearing that "caw," Azure Flood Dragon King suddenly froze. "Could that be Old Brother Crow?"

Tu Tian's eyes widened. "It can't be such a coincidence, can it? I casually threw someone, and she happened to hit the person we came looking for?"

Azure Flood Dragon King was rather speechless. After a moment of silence, he sighed. "Now I believe that you really did pick up that demonic pot!"

Tu Tian chuckled and said nothing more. He knew just how envy-inducing his own experiences were.

The major holy lands could scour ancient sources and dig through tombs without necessarily finding even a single saint weapon, yet he had picked up half an Extreme Dao Emperor Armament while walking along the roadside. Who could he possibly complain to about that?

The three people who had just left the snowy region were somewhat dumbfounded. They had been flying when a young woman suddenly shot toward them like a speeding "arrow"!

Were hidden weapons this ostentatious these days?

Crow King promptly caught the "hidden weapon," then watched the surroundings warily, afraid that someone had deliberately used this "hidden weapon" to draw his attention!

The Golden Saintess was so humiliated and furious that she wanted to die. How unlucky could she be today? She had been at home eating spirit fruits and humming a tune when she was suddenly kidnapped by a Great Bandit!

She had finally escaped the demon's clutches, only to be treated as a "hidden weapon" again and held upside down in someone's hand, utterly losing all face!

Several streams of light descended from the sky. A group of Golden Family mighty cultivators stopped in the air and surrounded the three of them.

"You there, Taoist! Release the Saintess at once!"

Crow King's face darkened. In the past, if anyone had dared speak to him like that, he would have started fighting long ago!

But now that he served his lord, he had better not make enemies casually. He released the young woman and suppressed his anger as he said, "Be more careful next time. Don't go throwing people around!"
