The Eighteen City Clothes-Stripping Gang

"Damn it, who are those people?"

"They're all incredibly strong! Damn it, they're clearly that powerful, yet they still resort to ganging up on each other. Don't these guys dare to fight one-on-one?!"

"Besides the other three major transcendent forces, I doubt anyone else could muster such a large force. But which side exactly?"

Amidst the jungle, disciples of the Star Moon Holy Land spoke indignantly.

Compared to the emptiness when they first left, everyone now had found some means of concealment.

Some were made from leaves, some from bark, and some from the skins of ferocious beasts... highlighting a wild beauty.

"Holy Son, what should we do about this? We cannot swallow this insult so easily."

A disciple stepped forward and spoke to Qian Shenglin.

Qian Shenglin took a deep breath, looked at the boy, and said:

"You should be very clear about their strength, having fought against them before."

Upon hearing this, the boy fell silent.

They had to admit that the opponent's strength had indeed exceeded their expectations.

"But..." the boy hesitated for a moment:

"After this happened, once word gets out, we'll likely become a laughingstock..."

Before he could finish speaking, Qian Shenglin snorted coldly and said:

"Don't worry, this isn't over yet. When the time is right, we will wash away today's humiliation!"

"But..."

Then, Qian Shenglin changed the subject:

"Before that, we need to find out exactly who these people are. This important task is entrusted to you. I will send some people to help you."

Upon hearing this, the boy's expression changed slightly, but seeing Qian Shenglin's cold gaze, he dared not say anything more and could only agree before getting up and leaving.

After the boy left, Qian Shenglin finally took a deep breath.

The more I think about what happened today, the more frustrated I feel.

These people from the Eighteen City had definitely made arrangements long ago, deliberately leaking those messages, just waiting for me to lead my men to make a move.

I really messed up in this matter. If I had known, I would have gone to Zither Sound Valley in person. That way, I wouldn't be in this situation now. Not only did it not benefit me, but I am now being blackmailed by the other party.

But since things have come to this, we can only take it one step at a time.

Given the other party's insidious nature, I clearly have no advantage in this secret realm, so I can only avoid any conflict with them.

Unless, something unexpected or unforeseen happens to those people in the Eighteen City.

The news about the Eighteen City spread like wildfire.

Although such incidents of leading people to conquer other cities were not uncommon in the secret realm during this period.

After all, the number of cities is finite, but the desire to occupy more cities is infinite.

There were even instances where the entire city mobilized, solely to capture another city.

Compared to what happened in the Eighteen City, some of the battles were even more intense.

But.

But no siege has ever been as unique as this one.

The attack was launched by the Star Moon Holy Land, led by its Holy Son Qian Shenglin.

On the other hand, no one had heard of any special background, but some people had heard that the Eighteen City were very generous.

It is not very clear to outsiders who exactly was in charge of the Eighteen City.

But it doesn't seem to be any other extraordinary force, otherwise they wouldn't be hiding their identity.

It's important to understand that a powerful family background is a deterrent in itself, and can prevent a lot of unnecessary trouble.

The Eighteen City were not shown, which may very well mean they didn't exist.

However, the outcome of this battle surprised everyone involved.

Despite having so many people, the Star Moon Holy Land ultimately lost.

Moreover, they were utterly defeated, and didn't even last the time it takes for an incense stick to burn before being captured.

Even more incredibly, the forces from the Eighteen City completely stripped the disciples of the Star Moon Holy Land bare.

They even threatened to kill all the disciples of the Star Moon Holy Land, forcing the Holy Son Qian Shenglin to sign an outrageous cooperation agreement.

"So it turns out that such terrifying power was hidden in the Eighteen City all along. Were they deliberately keeping their identities hidden and trying to trick people?" Someone suddenly realized.

"Luckily, it's relatively far from the Eighteen City. If it were closer, I might have done the same thing. They can't even handle the Star Moon Holy Land, so if I went there, it would probably be even worse." One of the Champa people secretly rejoiced.

"We thought we were already very thorough in our robberies, but compared to these Eighteen City, we're still far behind. We need to learn from them and make sure to strip everything clean when we rob in the Tongtong!" said the leader of the group.

As soon as the words were spoken, someone nearby showed a slight change in expression:

"But what if they rob female cultivators..."

Upon hearing this, everyone around them had their eyes light up and were laughing with amusement.

In a short time, amidst discussions from all sides, the story of the Eighteen City was widely circulated.

As the news spread, the group of people of unknown origin in the Eighteen City were dubbed the "Eighteen City Clothes-Stripping Gang."

Furthermore, as the story spread by word of mouth, it gradually became exaggerated and outrageous.

At first, some people tried to guess which faction the Eighteen City Clothes-Stripping Gang came from, but later it became known as a faction that had always kept a low profile, and whose true strength was above the four transcendent forces.

As for the methods of the Eighteen City Clothes-Stripping Gang, they robbed him of everything, and the rumors didn't stop there. As a result, everyone in the Star Moon Holy Land lost an egg and was no longer whole.

In a short time, the Eighteen City Clothes-Stripping Gang became a mysterious and extremely terrifying evil force in the minds of the people at an astonishing speed.

In the jungle.

Wujie retrieved a jade talisman and began to examine the information within it.

The information is related to what happened in the Eighteen City.

After reading the information, Wujie slowly turned his head and looked in the direction of the Eighteen City.

"I never imagined that these Eighteen City would be so complicated."

After saying that, he gently shook his head:

"In that case, let's put the matter of the Eighteen City aside for now; there's no need to rush it."

Originally, if it weren't for the incident at Zither Sound Valley, he would have taken people to the Eighteen City.

In hindsight, not going actually saved a lot of trouble.

Now that the pitfalls of the Eighteen City have been exposed by the Star Moon Holy Land, the true situation has also come to light.

Afterwards, with the people from the Star Moon Holy Land collecting resources for the Eighteen City, it is foreseeable that resources and light will increase significantly within a certain period of time.

That would be the best time to prepare for negotiations.

Although the Eighteen City are rumored to be terrifying, the Holy Son of the Star Moon Holy Land is only so powerful. How could he compare to the Buddhist Order and its followers?

As for the present situation...

At that moment, a beam of Buddha's light flew back from afar.

Wujie raised his hand and put it into his palm. The next moment, a light shone in his eyes.

The trail of that eagerly waiting boy has been found!
