Chapter 73

The collapse of the wheel storage space happened in an instant, and the immense shockwave was something that, if one could withstand, would pose no danger. Dust and debris filled the sky, obscuring everything, but after about half an hour, it began to gradually settle, and the view cleared. Numerous objects appeared on the sandy ground.

Shouts of battle immediately erupted. Cultivators had to fight to secure a spot, and to gather the items on the sand, they had to kill others. No one wanted to be ambushed and killed while searching and digging, so choosing to fight became inevitable.

Leibao and his group didn't wait for the dust to settle; they immediately rushed out. Leibao even carried Leixingfeng on his back. Although Leixingfeng was already a Wheel Master, he was still a sixteen-year-old boy, and with so many ill-intentioned cultivators around, Leibao didn't want any accidents to happen.

Jindapang followed Leibao, not wanting to escape alone. Although Jindapang was fat, he wasn't stupid; in fact, he was a very smart fat man.

Gelu, Taipo, Anyadan, Qixuan, Yanwu, Du Hongchen, and Wenyan all followed Leibao. As for Tailang's group, they had already split up, not yet satisfied, and remained in the area.

Yanwu and Gelu led the charge, with Taipo and Anyadan on either side. Besides Wenyan, Jindapang, and Leixingfeng, who were Wheel Masters, the others were all True Human experts. Yanwu and Gelu showed no mercy, advancing and slaughtering as they went.

Any cultivator who blocked their path or engaged in mutual slaughter was a target for their attacks. There was no time for explanations; they were in a hurry to escape.

...

Stano punched and created a large open space, dispersing all the sand and dust.

Shouts of battle rose again. Even as the cultivators retreated, they began to fight each other. Each faction gathered together, striving to secure a good spot.

In a short time, the dust began to settle. Stano said, "Yidatong, you lead the cleanup. Kill them all; I don't want to see any survivors!"

Yidatong clenched his fists and said, "Senior, rest assured, watch me! Follow me!" He pointed forward and shouted, "Kill!"

Over two hundred True Human experts followed Yidatong, quickly spreading out in a skirmish formation, charging towards the cultivators. Behind Stano, there were still several hundred True Human experts, a force capable of sweeping through the entire Western Rong region.

When the two hundred True Humans began their slaughter, the cultivators from the local factions were terrified. This group was too formidable; even Elder-level True Humans were killed instantly, with no chance to struggle, as if they were being slaughtered like chickens or dogs.

The cultivators still fighting were not fools and immediately scattered.

Stano ordered, "Men!"

A True Human stepped forward and said, "Yes."

Stano said calmly, "Form groups of three and charge in!"

The True Humans behind him immediately moved, forming groups of three as they charged in. These several hundred True Humans were like efficient killing machines, and no one could stand against them, not even other True Human experts.

Sun Budu smiled and said, "The Western Rong region... After this battle, I estimate at least half of the elites will be lost."

Stano said, "This small place, how many elites can there be?"

Sun Budu nodded and said, "I hope we can have a good harvest."

Stano said, "The first group to enter should be captured alive; otherwise, the losses will be too great."

Sun Budu sighed and said, "We received the news too late, fortunately, we still made it in time, otherwise, it would have been even more regrettable." Both he and Stano understood that the first group to enter had the best chance to get the best items, though they couldn't get everything from the wheel storage space, their chances of getting good items were still high.

One day later.

Tailang was still directing his subordinates to dig frantically. One item after another, various materials and items were being dug up. Tailang was very excited. Looking in the direction where Leibao had left, he felt quite pleased. With the items obtained this time, he was confident he could enhance his own strength and that of his subordinates. According to his plan, after this adventure, Tailang Night Fort should be able to become the fourth major power in the Western Rong region.

At that moment, over a dozen True Humans approached, all in groups of three. Before Tailang could react, they had already surrounded him. This was clearly the central area, and they were the first group to enter, the targets of Stano's pursuit.

The moment the dozen True Humans released their auras, Tailang immediately understood that they were no match. He suddenly realized this, but it was too late. His vision went dark, and his only thought was that it was over. He couldn't understand why there were so many powerful True Humans. If there were only a few, he might have had a chance to fight, even with seven or eight, he might have had a chance to break through, but with over a dozen, he had no confidence at all.

The next scene made Tailang even more desperate. Another seven or eight True Humans arrived. He suppressed his panic and stepped forward, saying, "We are from Tailang Night Fort, you..."

"Capture them!"

The men didn't even bother to listen to them and immediately ordered their capture.

Tailang, being a skilled expert, roared and charged towards the area with fewer people. He was not willing to be captured; he knew that if he were caught, he would face a terrible fate. As a Treasure Wheel Seal True Human with a Five-Ring True Body, just one step away from becoming a Seal True Human, he was never a pushover. Once he went all out, even a Seal True Human would have to avoid his attack.

Unfortunately, the other side not only had Seal True Humans but several of them, along with other True Humans. The result of their combined attack was that Tailang was directly knocked to the ground. If they hadn't intended to capture him alive, he would have been killed.

The moment he was captured, Tailang suddenly understood. These people didn't want his life; they wanted what he had obtained. If he died, they would never get the items from the wheel storage space.

In other words, as long as he didn't hand over the items, he was safe. Of course, if he handed them over, his life would be in danger.

...

Leibao and his group managed to avoid Stano's men. Their speed was incredibly fast, and their chosen path allowed them to bypass Stano's men. By the time Stano's men blocked the way, they had already passed, with a difference of no more than fifteen minutes. If Leibao had hesitated, they would have met.

They rushed towards Tailang Night Fort, not caring about what happened behind them. Successfully leaving was their victory.

After passing through the ancient wheel passage, Leibao and his group returned to Tailang Night Fort.

Upon entering the fort, they received bad news: Aslan had taken Leixingyao away, saying she was taking her to play, which infuriated Leibao. He had planned to take Leixingyao away, as this was not a place to stay, but he hadn't expected this to happen.

After repeated inquiries, Leibao learned that Aslan had gone to Ten Thousand Lake Continent, far from their location in Juman Continent. Leibao understood that Aslan wouldn't return soon; she had intentionally taken Leixingyao away.

Leixingfeng was so angry he stomped his feet, saying, "Grandpa, let's go to Ten Thousand Lake Continent."

Leibao, after calming down, thought for a moment and said, "We'll wait a few days. If there's no news, we'll go to Ten Thousand Lake Continent."

Leixingfeng also calmed down. The cost of giving up the treasures in the wheel storage space was the chance to lure Leixingyao away. Aslan must have planned this long ago. He said, "Alright, let's wait a few days. Maybe she didn't go to Ten Thousand Lake Continent but is just traveling nearby."

Jindapang came to say goodbye, as he had to return. He said, "After I return, I'll resign from my position in the Western Rong army." With the cultivation resources he had obtained, he wouldn't stay in the military.

Qixuan, Du Hongchen, and Wenyan also said their goodbyes and left. They couldn't use the wheel points and had to walk back, which would take a long time.

Yanwu, Taipo, and Anyadan didn't rush to leave. They wanted to do some trading with Leibao, exchanging some of the items they had obtained. The items from the wheel storage space might not suit them, and Leibao had obtained the most items, so he might have what they needed.

This kind of trade was mutually beneficial, and after obtaining treasures, they needed to sort them out.

Leixingfeng had obtained a large number of items, filling his wheel storage space. He needed to sort them out. Some items could be given to his grandfather, and some he didn't need could be exchanged with others. Of course, if the items could be used by Leixingyao, he would carefully store them, to give to her when they met again.

After the trading and sorting, Leixingfeng collected many items he could use, and he kept some items with questions, as many ancient cultivation items were beyond their understanding. He would keep them and figure them out over time.

...

Tailang was already tortured beyond recognition. He wasn't unwilling to hand over the items; he knew that once he did, he would be completely finished and would be killed. Many of his subordinates couldn't withstand the torture and gradually handed over items, but new torture quickly followed. The reason for the torture was simple: you must have more items; hand them over to stop the torture.

This cycle continued: hand over items, get a little rest and food, then continue the torture.

...

Second update, another update in the evening.
