Chapter 221 The Temperamental Thief King
Although his comprehension had dropped to zero, Ye Kang couldn't help but smile knowingly at his ninth-grade strength.
Having been in this world for quite some time now, I've finally established myself.
However, we still cannot let our guard down. At least in this secret realm, there are many experts of the same rank nine, and even a grandmaster above the innate level.
Grandmaster is actually just a general term. Ye Kang only knows that there are minor grandmasters and major grandmasters, but he is completely unaware of the specific realm divisions.
The ninth rank is not the end; on the contrary, it is merely the starting point of the vast world of martial arts.
He spent some more time circulating his inner energy through a small cycle before standing up and saying, "Alright, come with me."
Dai Huanhuan ran over from the side, not wanting to say a word more.
I will cry if I continue.
Ye Kang didn't hesitate. He simply picked her up, unleashed his Ninth-Rank Extreme Speed, and vanished from the spot, leaving behind only a terrified wail.
"Faster! Too fast!"
Dai Huanhuan screamed in terror. After all, he wasn't even a Xiantian (a type of cultivator), and he simply couldn't keep up with that speed.
Ye Kang released his true energy, forming a shield in his arms, and Dai Huanhuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As Ye Kang traveled, a battle was breaking out in the distant mountains.
The thin, hunchbacked old man clutched his wildly beating chest, his face flushed, and pointed at the beautiful woman in the black dress in front of him, his expression one of shock.
"Oh my god! How can you be so shameless! I'm an old man, and you're trying to seduce me!"
The woman in the black dress covered her mouth and smiled. With every gesture, a strange aura emerged, filled with a captivating charm.
"Brother Thief King, this humble woman cultivates seductive arts. If you won't let me use this, how am I supposed to fight?"
These two are Dai Huanhuan's master, the King of Thieves, and Lady Dai, one of the Four Heroes of the City.
The two were only temporarily guarding the city and had no prior interaction. Now, they happened to be teleported together in the secret realm and discovered the treasure, so naturally they had to fight over it.
The King of Thieves was originally very confident in his abilities, but he never expected to fall into a seduction trap by accident and hand over the treasure by some strange impulse, which was a great disgrace!
Madam Dai stroked a piece of black ore in her hand and smiled, "Top-grade Yuan Magnetic Ore, and such a large piece at that. If I were to sell it to Jingyuezhai, I'm sure I could exchange it for a Breakthrough Pill. Given its value, Brother Thief King, don't blame me for sneaking around!"
"Shameless! Give me the thing right now! Or don't blame me for being ruthless and cruel!"
Upon hearing this, Lady Dai gently covered her mouth with the back of her soft, boneless hand, her smile blossoming and her brows swaying, immediately leaving the King of Thieves bewildered once again.
"Brother Thief King, there are many treasures in the secret realm. Why bother with me here? It's not worth it."
"Hmph! Sweet talk, this old man will not fall for your shameless tricks!"
Just as the King of Thieves was about to launch a fierce attack, a loud explosion suddenly came from the forest ahead.
The birds and beasts were startled and the space fluctuated. The two looked at the same time, both with doubt in their eyes.
"what sound?"
"Could there be someone else? The White Lotus Demon?"
"The White Lotus Demon doesn't have that kind of ability."
The Thief King's expression turned cold, revealing an extremely serious look. He then used his lightness skill to fly over.
Madam Dai was momentarily stunned. How come this guy seems to have been completely unaffected by my charm?
She also tied the magnetic ore to herself and then followed.
As long as it involves the White Lotus Demon, Madam Dai doesn't mind joining forces with this strange old man.
However, when the two arrived at the location of the disturbance, they did not find the White Lotus Demon, but only three men dressed as thieves in black.
"Who are these people?"
Madam Dai frowned, sensing something.
The three people were not highly skilled, between the seventh and eighth ranks, and had no idea that they were being watched.
One of them said, "Master is really something. Why did he have us come in from different places? What if we run into something powerful? Wouldn't we just be throwing our lives away?"
"Hmph, Master doesn't care about our lives or deaths, he only cares about that jade pendant."
"Stop talking. He sent us here to coordinate with each other and expand the search area. Be careful and don't get discovered."
The three men had casual expressions, but all seemed somewhat dissatisfied.
At that moment, two of them froze, completely stunned.
The person opposite them looked completely bewildered.
"What are you doing? Why aren't you saying anything? Is there something behind me?"
The man turned around, and a very dark face was staring at him.
"Holy crap! Senior Uncle!"
"evil creature!"
The King of Thieves had appeared behind the three of them without warning, and without saying a word, slapped them across the face.
With a loud bang, the two men died instantly, without any mercy.
The last person knelt down with a thud: "Master Uncle, spare me! Spare me!"
He was drenched in cold sweat; extreme fear nearly crushed his heart.
This is too unlucky!
Damn it, how come I ran into this killer as soon as I came out?!
The King of Thieves covered the man's head with one hand, his face dark, and said, "Who is your senior master! You petty thieves and scoundrels have disgraced the family and deserve to be torn to pieces!"
"Master, spare us! We didn't want to! It was all Master's fault!"
"Bah! Did he force you to find things, to kill, to commit arson, rape, and plunder? Like master, like disciple! This wretched creature, I should have killed him long ago! Speak! What are you doing here!"
"I said, I said..."
The thief had no scruples and immediately revealed everything.
Upon hearing that the Thief King was leading his entire sect to smuggle into the secret realm in search of the half of the jade pendant, the Thief King trembled with rage and, unable to contain himself, tightened his grip.
The thief's head exploded.
The Thief King calmed himself down and turned to look at Lady Dai in the tree.
"I've given you the Yuan Magnetic Ore. I have urgent business to attend to and must go. I can sense my disciple rapidly approaching me. In exchange, could you please look after him for a while?"
Madam Dai paused for a moment, then remembered this guy's apprentice.
He looks like a fair-skinned, handsome young man?
She couldn't help but lick her lips and nod, saying, "Of course, I guarantee to take meticulous care of you."
The Thief King knew what kind of person this was, but he didn't care. After all, his apprentice was a woman, so he wasn't afraid of her doing bad things.
Now that bastard King of Thieves has arrived, we don't need to worry about anything else. Let's find a way to wipe out this bunch of scum!
The King of Thieves used his superb lightness skill and disappeared into the horizon in a flash.
Madam Dai's expression changed slightly.
"I've long heard that the King of Thieves' lightness skill is unparalleled in the world. It's really amazing. Among the people I know, I'm afraid there's no one who can catch up with this guy."
She shook her head and continued her treasure hunt in the vicinity.
She was lucky enough to be teleported to this rich region. There was nothing else, but plenty of precious plants and minerals. Now that she was all alone, she was even happier to have them all to herself.
As for the White Lotus Sect and the Thief King, let them be.
Lady Dai immediately took action and engaged in a battle with the ferocious beasts guarding the precious plant nearby.
at the same time.
Dai Huanhuan, nestled in Ye Kang's arms, looked completely bewildered.
"What's going on! I felt like I was about to find the old man, how did he suddenly run away again!"
