Who Let Him Cultivate?!

Chapter 227: 226 The Third Dark Shadow_1

Chapter 227: Chapter 226 The Third Dark Shadow_1

The head of the Mo family had already investigated the origin of the Phoenix Blood Stone buyer. It was a rather tricky situation, the buyer was a Foundation Establishment Stage disciple of the Seek Dao Sect. He estimated that this person was new to wealth. The buyer had come together with two others, who were also from the Seek Dao Sect.

The Foundation Establishment Stage meant nothing to him. However, the words – the Seek Dao Sect – altered the situation entirely.

The higher the cultivation level, the more secrets one came to know, and the more one would realize the terror of the Seek Dao Sect.

That’s why he needed to handle this matter personally.

He didn’t believe that a Divinity Transformation Stage cultivator intending to steal something could be discovered by three Foundation Establishment Stage disciples from the Seek Dao Sect?

However, he was not the only one planning to steal something tonight.

Petty thief, how dare you try to lay your hands on something I’ve set my sights on?

“Leave immediately!” Both the County Magistrate and the head of the Mo family simultaneously directed a targeted oppressive pressure at their competition. Any ordinary thief encountering the pressure of such a level would get so scared they would end up completely paralyzed on the spot.

The County Magistrate revealed a hint of a cold smirk. He guessed that perhaps, after yesterday failed attempt, the Mo Family did not give up and sent people again tonight.

What good would that do? If they encounter him, they can only blame their bad luck!

Their equally powerful oppressive forces silently collided with each other, causing both men to furrow their brows.

“Hmm?”

Both of them noticed that the other’s oppressive force was extraordinary, far from ordinary!

“Old Shee!”

“Old Mo!”

They both recognized each other’s identities, followed by a silence lasting more than ten seconds.

In the entirety of Luofeng County, there were only two people at the Spirit Transformation stage, them. They were easy to recognize.

Both of them considered themselves persons of status and disdained engaging in petty theft. Meeting here was quite embarrassing.

They couldn’t possibly say they were out for some moon bathing.

“What a coincidence, you’re here too?”

“Yes, quite the coincidence.”

Then came another long and awkward silence.

The County Magistrate decided to seize the initiative, getting a head start. Using his Spiritual Sense for transmission, he uttered somberly, “I had calculated that petty thieves would attempt a theft tonight. I was waiting for them here as patiently as a cat for a rat. As expected, I didn’t wait in vain. Old Mo, I suggest you surrender without any resistance!”

The County Magistrate produced an iron chain from somewhere and then threw it towards the Head of the Mo Family.

“Ha! You think I’m blind? Look at what you’re wearing! You dare to say you’re here hunting rodents?”

The head of the Mo family clearly wasn’t buying it. This bastard was dressed all in black, just like himself. Who was he trying to fool?

He took out a weapon to fight.

Both of them were worried about being discovered. Unspoken agreement had them avoid using their magical powers, thus making the battle as silent as possible.

Both of them had struggled against each other for decades and were very familiar with each other’s tactics. After a dozen rounds of fruitless confrontation, they both stopped.

“This will not lead to a result. You came here for the Phoenix Blood Stone, right? Let’s rely on our own abilities to steal it. Whoever gets it owns it.” The County Magistrate suggested.

“Good, that’s settled then.” The head of the Mo family agreed readily.

The County Magistrate sneered inwardly. Even if the other party obtained the Phoenix Blood Stone, he would find a way to snatch it back. It was a matter of his future prospects. Who would care about keeping promises?

Funnily enough, the head of the Mo family was thinking the same thing.

Meanwhile, Lu Yang was recording everything using a Recording Orb.

Both had already used their Spiritual Senses to locate the Phoenix Blood Stone, and while they were preparing to head to Meng Jingzhou’s room together, another shadow entered over the wall.

“Another one?” Not only were the County Magistrate and the head of the Mo family puzzled, but even Lu Yang, Su Yiren, and Li Haoran, who were observing from the dark, were surprised.

“Does your house have a lot of attraction?” Lu Yang looked at Li Haoran.

Li Haoran rolled his eyes, not wanting to talk. It’s not my house that’s attractive, it’s clearly the Phoenix Blood Stone that Senior Brother Meng bought.

Lu Yang remembered the shadows he saw out of the corner of his eye last night while tailing two Golden Core Stage cultivators.

Could it be that the shadow from last night is the same as the third shadow tonight?

“The third shadow is also at the Divinity Transformation Stage.” Su Yiren reminded Lu Yang, making him more alert.

Who was the third shadow? What was his purpose?

“What, tonight there isn’t just the County Magistrate but also the head of the Mo family and a third Spirit Transformation Stage cultivator?” Meng Jingzhou couldn’t see the situation from his place and was itching with curiosity as he listened to their conversation.

It seemed like he wanted to see what was happening outside.

…

The third shadow wasn’t surprised to see the County Magistrate and the head of the Mo family. He nodded, “Good attitude, you’re fifteen minutes earlier than our agreed-upon time. Let’s go.”

The County Magistrate and the head of the Mo family glanced at each other. They couldn’t see through the cultivation level of the shadow.

A Divinity Transformation Stage? But where did the third Divinity Transformation Stage come from in Luofeng County?

It seemed that they had been mistaken for someone else by the person. They decided to go along with it, so they followed the third shadow’s steps.

“Sir, I’ve heard that this house is inhabited by a disciple of the Seek Dao Sect. Is our action safe?” The County Magistrate asked as he followed behind.

The third shadow didn’t think much about it, “Just a Foundation Establishment Stage disciple. What could possibly go wrong? Everything is ready now; we’re just short of a top-quality Phoenix Blood Stone.”

“The best-quality Phoenix Blood Stone is in the hands of the Foundation Establishment disciple of Seek Dao Sect.”

“Once we succeed, all of us will be promoted. An endeavor that is about to succeed, how could you be so diffident and indecisive at this moment? Hurry up and follow!”

Turns out, the third shadow’s objective was also the Phoenix Blood Stone that Meng Jingzhou had bought.

“What on earth is this Phoenix Blood Stone you bought? It’s like a magnet for those at the Spirit Transformation Stage.” Lu Yang sighed. He told you not to show off, but now everyone knows you have a top-quality Phoenix Blood Stone.

“Who knows… Had I known it would cause so much trouble, I would have thrown it in the trash.” Meng Jingzhou also complained.

The three Spirit Transformation Stage intruders converged in Meng Jingzhou’s guest room.

“Phoenix Blood Stone!” The eyes of the County Magistrate lit up when he saw the Phoenix Blood Stone next to Meng Jingzhou. It was indeed like his speculation – it was the Phoenix Blood Stone that should absolutely not end up in the market.

The Head of the Mo family noticed the County Magistrate’s reaction and knew that he had not guessed wrong.

The third shadow’s eyes gleam. Although he had never seen a top-quality Phoenix Blood Stone, the quality of this stone was definitely not inferior, it should suffice for their purposes.

“By the way, sir, what do we need this Phoenix Blood Stone for?” The County Magistrate asked casually.

Perhaps because the target was right in front of his eyes, the third shadow inadvertently loosened up, replying carelessly: “Of course, it’s for refining that Phoenix beneath our feet into a Corpse Puppet, and stirring up the whole of Luofeng County, reinforcing the might of our Nine Nether Sect. Now that all preparations are complete, we are just short of a top-quality Phoenix Blood Stone as the core.”

“You’re from the Nine Nether Sect?!” The head of Mo family exclaimed.

“Isn’t that obvious? If we’re not from the Nine Nether Sect, we could only be from the Eternity Sect… wait a minute, who are you two?” The third shadow realized that these two were not his subordinates.

All three intruders, exposed in the house, faced each other like enemies, each ready to fight at a moment’s notice.

“Since you’ve been discovered, I cannot leave you alive!” The third shadow attacked decisively, revealing his Divinity Transformation Stage peak cultivation level. He wanted to take this opportunity to kill the other two.

Both, the County Magistrate and the head of the Mo Family, were not easy to deal with. As Spirit Transformation Stage cultivators themselves, they thought, you want to kill us instantly? We’ll see who kills who!

At the same time, the space solidified, and none of the three was able to move, as if time had stopped.

Modify rules, it was the Unification Stage ability.

Su Yiren took action.
