Stealing the Spoils
The Nine-Year-Old Rogue Cultivator's gaze turned fervent. He quickly cast a defensive spell on himself, creating some distance between himself and the True Monarch Thousand Mechanisms, his face full of vigilance.
The True Monarch Thousand Mechanisms opened his mouth and spat out a Crimson Flame, which landed on the humanoid corpse. The humanoid corpse turned to ashes, leaving only the blue robe.
The young man in silver robes flipped his right hand, and a small, shimmering silver mirror appeared in his hand, which he then infused with Law Power.
A silver light shone from the surface of the Silver Small Mirror, emitting a silver glow that enveloped the portrait and the Green Altar Table, without anything unusual happening.
With a single gesture, the True Monarch Thousand Mechanisms sent Cyan Storage Bracelet flying towards him.
A gust of wind blew by, and a pitch-black ghostly claw appeared, grabbing the Cyan Storage Bracelet.
"Ghost cultivator! Fellow Daoist Lin, you actually raised Ghost Creature!"
"True Monarch Thousand Mechanisms frowned and said."
A beautiful Black-Skirted Woman appeared beside the Nine-Year-Old Rogue Cultivator, her Black-Skirted Woman striking and her Yin Qi emanating from her.
"Daoist Wang, according to our prior agreement, I was to choose the treasures first, and you snatched the Storage Bracelet. What does this mean?"
The Nine-Year-Old Rogue Cultivator said with a gloomy face.
"If I don't want to keep my promise, do you think you can stop me with this Ghost Creature?"
The True Monarch Thousand Mechanisms's tone was icy.
With a flick of his right hand, a shimmering silver bead flew out of his hand. He cast a spell, and the Silver Bead immediately shone brightly, transforming into a gigantic Thunder Flood Dragon, its body covered in silver arcs of electricity.
He annihilated a fourth-tier early-stage Thunder Flood Dragon and refined its Essence Soul into a Spirit Treasure to increase its power.
"Fourth-tier Thunder Flood Dragon! Help me deal with them."
The Nine-Year-Old Rogue Cultivator ordered, "Use your treasures to attack True Monarch Thousand Mechanisms."
The Ghost Creature let out a Ghost Wail wail, spewed out a huge Black Hurricane, and vanished in a gust of wind.
Deep underground, Shen Long stood on the back of the Iron Tail Scorpion, while the Hundred-Eyed Golden Cicada Iron Tail Scorpion lay on its back.
The eyes of the Hundred-Eyed Golden Cicada gleam with golden light, allowing it to clearly see the ground.
"They're fighting over the treasure; money can corrupt people's hearts."
Shen Long was talking to himself.
"Huh, possession!"
Shen Long asked in surprise.
Inside the cave, True Monarch Thousand Mechanisms was dealing with the Nine-Year-Old Rogue Cultivator and the Black-Skirted Woman.
The young man in silver robes had already rushed to the Green Altar Table, holding a Green Lotus Treasure Lamp in his hand.
His facial features were contorted, as if he were suffering some kind of pain.
A mournful Ghost Wail rang out, and the entire cave shook violently.
A massive bolt of silver lightning shot into the sky, shattering the entire cave and sending billowing smoke and dust billowing out.
The True Monarch Thousand Mechanisms and the Nine-Year-Old Rogue Cultivator flew out of the cave and stood high in the sky, their expressions solemn.
A streak of silver Escape Light flew out of the cave at great speed.
"Hao, help me destroy him! The Ghost Creature has been destroyed."
"This True Monarch Thousand Mechanisms instructed."
The silver Escape Light ignored True Monarch Thousand Mechanisms and instead increased its speed.
"What's going on! No, you're not Hao, you've been possessed!"
The True Monarch Thousand Mechanisms was furious.
His descendants clearly used Spirit Treasure to investigate and found nothing wrong, so it seems the other party's concealment methods were very impressive.
What he found even more unbelievable was that his descendant, with the cultivation of the Nascent Soul Early Stage stage and multiple Spirit Treasure, couldn't withstand a wisp of Remnant Soul?
Throughout the entire possession process, his descendants had no chance to resist, otherwise he would have definitely noticed something was amiss.
A deafening thunderclap resounded, and two enormous Silver Thunder Pillar ripped through the sky, striking towards True Monarch Thousand Mechanisms and the Nine-Year-Old Rogue Cultivator. That wasn't all; a powerful gravitational force also appeared.
Their bodies plummeted uncontrollably towards the ground. True Monarch Thousand Mechanisms and the Nine-Year-Old Rogue Cultivator were terrified and quickly took action to stop them.
Three hundred miles away, the young man in silver robes swiftly soared through the sky, his gaze solemn.
A loud bell rang out, followed by a noisy screeching sound.
The young man in the silver shirt stopped, his face contorted as if he were suffering some unbearable pain.
A gust of wind blew by, and the Nine-Headed Ghost Dove appeared in the void above the silver-robed youth's head.
"Nine-Headed Ghost Dove, who hatched the Nine-Headed Ghost Dove's egg!"
The young man in silver exclaimed in surprise. Just as he was about to make a move, a sharp, piercing screech rang in his ears.
The young man in the silver shirt suddenly felt dizzy and unsteady on his feet.
A flash of white light appeared, and a shimmering white net materialized, covering you directly.
A large amount of White Cold Qi poured out of the White Net Pouch, and the silver-clad youth's body froze at a visible speed, turning into an ice sculpture.
A beam of blue light shot out from one of the Nine-Headed Ghost Dove' heads, enveloping the ice sculpture.
A golden ball of light detached from the body, was drawn into the mouth of the Nine-Headed Ghost Dove by the blue glow, and swallowed.
The ice sculpture crashed to the ground, shattering into pieces. The silver-clad youth was already lifeless.
A tall, red-clad youth burst from the ground, searched the silver-clad youth's belongings, and the Nine-Headed Ghost Dove flew into the Spirit Beast Bracelet on his wrist.
The young man in the red shirt collected the body of the young man in the silver shirt, burrowed underground, and left.
After a while, the Nine-Year-Old Rogue Cultivator and the True Monarch Thousand Mechanisms caught up, their expressions turning grim.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, is this your sincerity? You've secretly sent people to follow us."
"True Monarch Thousand Mechanisms frowned and said."
"I have the same question for you! How did a Nascent Soul Cultivator suddenly appear? I couldn't even see his face, all I knew was that he was proficient in Thunder Method. Your descendants stole my Storage Bracelet and Spirit Treasure, and you even killed my Ghost Creature. You owe me an explanation."
"That's what the Nine-Year-Old Rogue Cultivator said without any politeness."
They fought fiercely over the treasure. True Monarch Thousand Mechanisms destroyed the Ghost Creature, but unexpectedly, True Monarch Thousand Mechanisms's descendant was possessed, and the other party stole the Storage Bracelet.
If it weren't for a Nascent Soul Cultivator skilled in Thunder Method interfering with them, they would have already caught up with the descendants of True Monarch Thousand Mechanisms.
"You didn't spot that person?"
"True Monarch Thousand Mechanisms frowned and said."
During this treasure hunt, his only descendant perished, and all the benefits went to a third party.
"If I found out, would I give him a chance? It's probably a group; one person will hold us off while the other kills your descendants."
"This is what the Nine-Year-Old Rogue Cultivator analyzed."
"Hao has the cultivation of the Nascent Soul Early Stage. Even the Remnant Soul of Nascent Soul monster couldn't possess him so easily, unless it's Spirit Transformation monster."
The True Monarch Thousand Mechanisms put forward a bold conjecture.
During the entire possession process, his descendants did not have time to warn him.
"Spirit Transformation monster? You must be joking. If it really is Remnant Soul of Spirit Transformation monster, why would he need to escape? He would just wipe us out."
"That's what the Nine-Year-Old Rogue Cultivator said."
"This matter cannot be left unresolved; we must find the mastermind behind it all."
"True Monarch Thousand Mechanisms," said the man with a cold face.
This was the first time in all his years of cultivation that he had suffered such a great loss.
"Let's leave here first; Immortal Fallen Island has quite a few restrictions."
After saying this, the Nine-Year-Old Rogue Cultivator left.
With a furrowed brow, True Monarch Thousand Mechanisms transformed into a Escape Light and departed.
More than 500 miles away, in a hidden underground cave, the stone walls glowed with a yellow light.
Shen Long stood on the ground, with the Nine-Headed Ghost Dove standing to the side.
"What! Cai Lei's split soul!"
Shen Long asked in surprise.
