Upon seeing the manifested form of Qiongqi, the Starry Sky Bandits were terrified and immediately begged for mercy.

"Lord Qiongqi, we didn't know you were inside! Please spare our lives!"

"We'll leave right now, we swear we'll never be space bandits again, please don't kill us!"

"We know we were wrong, Lord Qiongqi, please spare our lives!"

"..."

Qiongqi ignored them. These ruthless bandits from the starry sky robbed him right in front of his own house, which made Qiongqi feel very embarrassed.

With a snap!

The spaceship and the ruthless bandits on board were all annihilated, leaving only the head of the bandit leader.

The purpose of keeping that man's head was, of course, to examine his consciousness and find the location of their lair.

Qiongqi pointed a finger at the man's brow and quickly located the Starry Sky Bandit's lair.

Snap!

After obtaining the location, Qiongqi slapped the man's head into dust.

"The lair of the Starry Sky Bandits is located in a space a billion miles away!"

With that, Qiongqi led everyone to that starry sky.

Immediately afterwards, Qiongqi pointed a finger, and a door appeared in the starry sky before them.

Ling Yun and his group entered the spatial gate, which led to a miniature world spanning tens of thousands of miles, complete with mountains, rivers, the sun, and the moon.

Unless one knows how to enter, it would be difficult for ordinary cultivators to sense that there is a space here.

On the distant mountain stands a cluster of luxurious buildings, the very place where the Starry Sky Bandits operate.

Seeing this, Abao exclaimed in surprise:

"Are all bandit dens in the cultivation world this luxurious?"

Ling Yun laughed:

"Bandits in any world, as long as they have money, live in luxurious places."

As they spoke, the group arrived in front of the building.

"Sixth Brother, you guys got here so quickly... um? Who are you?"

With a loud bang!

Tens of thousands of ruthless bandits appeared in the building complex.

The next moment!

Snap!

Qiongqi slapped them across the face, sending this group of ruthless bandits from the starry sky into the cycle of reincarnation.

Immediately, Lin Moyu pointed to a golden building and shouted:

"That's where the treasure vault is!"

The words had barely left his mouth!

A Bao rushed forward with the little Pixiu in his arms, followed closely by Shangguan Hong and the others.

Great Sage, the Golden Lion instantly teleported into the treasure vault.

Upon seeing this, Qiongqi was completely dumbfounded.

"Who exactly are the 'Starry Sky Bandits'? Aren't they being subtle at all?"

As he spoke, Qiongqi looked at Lingyun, only to find that he was all alone when he turned his head.

"Having slept for tens of thousands of years, I'm a bit out of touch with the times!"

Qiongqi paused for a moment, muttered something, and instantly appeared inside the treasure vault.

Hearing the ecstatic shouts from inside the treasure vault and witnessing the incredibly fast and practiced movements of the crowd, Qiongqi's vision of the ruthless bandits in the starry sky overlapped with that of Ling Yun and the others.

Especially the little Pixiu, it's practically a little bandit. In just a short while, under A Bao's tutelage, its hand speed became incredibly fast.

He only came to his senses when a storage bag floated in front of Qiongqi.

He began a massive looting spree, and soon he experienced the thrill of it all. The feeling was indescribable; it was simply exhilarating.

"As expected of the Starry Sky Bandits, their treasure trove is much larger than that of ordinary bandit dens!"

"It seems these ravenous bandits have robbed quite a few cultivators of their treasures. I'm starting to feel like our storage bags aren't enough!"

"That long-lost feeling is back!"

"..."

As the crowd looted, they exclaimed in surprise, and the treasure vault was filled with laughter and cheers.

Lingyun threw a wooden plaque into his storage bag.

The next moment!

He suddenly paused for a moment, then quickly found the wooden plaque in his storage bag.

Upon seeing the character "临" branded on the wooden sign, Ling Yun's pupils constricted and his breathing became rapid.

"The True Word of Lin!"

He channeled a wisp of spiritual energy into the wooden plaque, and the character "临" on the plaque transformed into a line of smaller characters.

The true meaning of the word "Lin" is to remain calm and composed in the face of adversity, to maintain an unwavering and unconfused will, to mobilize the power of heaven and earth, and to be as immovable as a mountain.

After reading it, Ling Yun calmed his excited emotions and murmured:

"The mantra of 'Lin' is a defensive technique. The Immovable King is based on the mantra of 'Lin,' but it is clearly not as powerful as the original mantra of 'Lin'!"

The next moment!

The words began to change, forming nine starting postures.

It looked so lifelike that Ling Yun exclaimed in amazement after just one glance:

"The defensive power of the true 'Lin' mantra is a hundred times stronger than that of the Immovable King!"

Taking a deep breath, Lingyun put away the wooden plaque, preparing to pass it on to Abao and the others in the future.

While he was studying the Lin character mantra, Qiongqi and his gang had already looted the treasure trove.

"Haha~ Woohoo~" Qiongqi exclaimed excitedly:

"Not bad, not bad! Looting the treasure vault feels great!"

Realizing he had lost his composure, Qiongqi looked at the Golden Lion and asked seriously:

"Dude, did I look like I'd never seen anything like this before?"

The golden lion immediately spoke up, his expression serious:

"How could that be? When we first robbed you, we were even less reserved than you. That was normal behavior!"

Qiongqi nodded in satisfaction.

The Great Sage laughed from the side:

"Haha~ Qiongqi's fondness for looting treasure vaults is a disaster for all the heavens and myriad worlds!"

Then, he patted Qiongqi on the shoulder and said in a serious tone:

"Brother, the Buddhist universe has a lot of treasures; you should go and have some fun sometime!"

"Really?" Qiongqi's eyes lit up immediately.

The Great Sage said, "It's true, you know, when it comes to looting treasure vaults, I'm practically a grandmaster. If I say a treasure vault is good, I'm absolutely right!"

Upon hearing this, Qiongqi became somewhat impatient.

The golden lion covered its face, feeling that the Buddhist universe was about to become turbulent.

If even the Great Sage is this difficult to deal with, imagine what would happen if Qiongqi joined in... The Golden Lion couldn't help but laugh at the thought.

Immediately afterwards, A Bao, carrying the little Pixiu, led Ling Xi, Ling Shan, and the eight-colored Qilin to loot other buildings.

A moment later, Abao shouted:

There's someone here!

Ling Yun and the others immediately arrived at the scene and saw a woman in blue being imprisoned in a room.

The woman was extremely beautiful, exuding the air of a lady from a prominent family. Despite her cultivation level of the Mahayana stage, her aura was restrained and composed.

Ah Bao said:

"This fairy said she was kidnapped!"

At this moment, the woman in green kept staring at Xiao Yanran, her eyes filled with disbelief, as well as a hint of admiration and longing.

Seeing this, Abao asked curiously:

"Fairy, do you know my sister-in-law?"

“No…I don’t know her!” the woman in green said. “I am Nangong Xi from the Nangong family of Tangyu. I was captured and brought here by the Starry Sky Bandits three months ago.”

As she spoke, Nangong Xi's face showed urgency.

"Please let me out. I have urgent business to report to the higher-ups of the Tang Domain. If I find you in the future, the Nangong family will reward you handsomely!"

Ling Yun nodded slightly, flicked his finger, and deactivated the magic array in the room, releasing Nangong Xi.

He could tell that Nangong Xi really had something urgent to attend to and wasn't lying.

"Thank you, fellow Daoists!"

After bowing deeply to everyone, Nangong Xi glanced at Xiao Yanran and left.

This scene left everyone puzzled, and Xiao Yanran was even more confused as to why the woman kept staring at her.
