"That's right. All those people from the Shadowless Palace and the Soul Hall have had their cultivation crippled. They're just lambs to the slaughter."
"Such a fat sheep is a rare sight. Shall we go too? At least we can get a share."
Many people were very excited and couldn't wait to find those people.
Finding any one of them could double their wealth.
Those are all disciples from martial god-level forces, and they themselves robbed people everywhere, so their wealth must be considerable, making it hard not to be tempted.
only.
Most cultivators were only interested in it, but dared not take any action.
Their power was only at the Martial King level. The reason they didn't think of this at first was mainly because their own power was not strong, and subconsciously they didn't think of making this windfall.
Those cultivators who flew away before were all from the Martial God's forces and were not afraid of the Shadowless Palace, the Soul Palace, or the Blood Demon Palace.
Naturally, the first thing that came to mind was murder to steal the property.
This is the difference in perspectives brought about by power.
You could also say it's their confidence.
"Go? If you go, you'll be sending yourselves to your deaths."
At this moment, a young man said expressionlessly, "Those people who went to rob the people of Wuying Palace and Soul Hall will definitely not leave any survivors. Don't say I didn't warn you. Once they come back, they might kill us to silence us and prevent this matter from getting out."
The words were spoken.
Without saying another word, the man took out a small boat, about three zhang long, and headed towards the altar, not waiting for anyone else.
After the young man left.
Then someone retorted, "Who are you trying to scare? If they wanted to silence people, why didn't they do it earlier? Why wait until they've kidnapped someone before coming back to kill them?"
"Idiot, there are two different mindsets: one is when you steal something, and the other is when you don't."
Someone immediately rebuked them: "Before they robbed us, they weren't even sure if they could find those people, or if what Lu Tao said was true or false, so of course they wouldn't attack us."
But once they actually kill the people from the Shadowless Palace, they will naturally consider silencing them.
"You, with your perfect innate cultivation, couldn't even think of this?"
The man blushed and felt extremely embarrassed.
only.
At this moment, no one looked at him. They all took out small boats and headed towards the altar, not wanting to stay here any longer.
A moment later, there was no one left.
——
On the other side.
Ten individuals from different factions, all at the peak of innate mastery, searched along the beach with remarkable coordination.
More than three hours later.
This group found the disciples of the Shadowless Palace, the Soul Palace, and the Blood Demon Palace.
This was something they had been looking forward to for a long time, something that would have made them happy.
But they weren't happy at all.
Because they discovered that these people had nothing on them.
Lu Tao looted all the storage rings, magical artifacts, and other items.
And more importantly...
These people seemed to have just fought a ferocious beast. Although they killed the beast, they also paid the price of three deaths, leaving only six people alive.
"What are you doing?"
The disciples of Wuying Palace were terrified.
The moment these people appeared before them, they understood their purpose.
They had done this kind of thing too many times, so they understood that these people just wanted to rob them. What terrified them even more was that these people came from other martial god forces.
Those of the same level wouldn't care about their background.
While they appeared to be there to rob them, these people had certainly already planned to kill them.
They will not be allowed to continue living.
They never expected Lu Tao to be so ruthless as to spread the news far and wide.
They were already struggling to survive in the secret realm teeming with ferocious beasts, but Lu Tao was still unwilling to let them go.
Looking at the disciples of the Shadowless Palace, Soul Hall, and Blood Demon Palace who were all bluster and no substance, the group looked very grim. One of them said angrily, "Damn it, we wasted our time. We've fallen for Lu Tao's trick."
"That Lu Tao is a real scoundrel. He dug a pit for us and made us the assassins."
The group was extremely indignant.
If Lu Tao had said just one more word and taken these people's storage rings, they wouldn't have had the slightest greed and wouldn't have wasted time looking for the people from the Shadowless Palace.
However, Lu Tao didn't say that despite their suspicions, they came to search with a sliver of hope.
"No, does Lu Tao really intend to let these people die in the secret realm like this? Isn't he afraid of retaliation from the Shadowless Palace and the Blood Demon Palace?" someone asked, puzzled.
They guessed that Lu Tao probably wouldn't dare let these people die in the secret realm, which was why he made this choice.
Little did they know, Lu Tao wasn't afraid at all.
Someone muttered to themselves, "Isn't this just a bunch of us fools taking the blame?"
"???"
"Damn it, that bastard, he knew someone would come after these people, and now we're all scapegoats."
The group of people all felt a surge of frustration.
Lu Tao simply dug a pit, and they jumped right in. The key point is that they can't entirely blame Lu Tao, since they themselves came with wishful thinking.
Upon hearing this, the disciples of the Shadowless Palace, the Soul Palace, and the Blood Demon Palace were all terrified.
"Gentlemen, Lu Tao framed you all, why are you taking the blame for him?"
A disciple of the Shadowless Palace hurriedly said, "As long as you all leave, we swear that we will pretend this never happened."
"The point is not what you think, but what others think."
Someone sighed helplessly, "You have nothing now, you can't survive in the secret realm at all. Even if it were the three who just died, people would think we killed them. We can't get rid of this blame no matter what."
"Bah!"
As if to confirm this person's words, the two ferocious giant eagles spotted the group and flew in from a distance, suddenly charging towards them.
The group quickly and helplessly dealt with the beast, then stood before the disciples of the Shadowless Palace and the Soul Hall, silently watching them with expressions that seemed to say, "Look, do you think you can survive against these two giant eagles?"
The disciples of the three religions fell silent for a moment.
"Gentlemen, there is actually another way to perfectly solve this problem."
Suddenly, someone said weakly, "Can you lend us something to save our lives? If we leave the secret realm alive, we'll definitely repay you double."
"So, we didn't get anything, and we even have to lose money?"
One of the young men almost laughed in anger. "You bastards must be holding a grudge by now, let alone getting out of here alive? You want us to lend you things? Dream on! Besides, even if we did lend you things, with your cultivation level, you probably wouldn't survive a day."
"Forget it, stop talking nonsense. We're going to take the blame anyway, just kill him."
Seeing that everyone was about to make a move, the disciples of Wuying Palace hurriedly said, "Everyone, actually, you can take us to the border. As long as others see that we are still alive, you can enter the inner circle without taking the blame."
"Is there a difference? You have nothing to save your lives, you're going to die sooner or later."
"Even if we take you to the border, people will still think we robbed you, and your deaths will still be pinned on us. Of course, Lu Tao is the prime suspect, but what difference does it make? He was the culprit to begin with, and now we're just ten more people to share the blame."
The disciples of Wuying Palace remained silent.
Suddenly someone whispered, "Why don't you arrange for two people to protect us?"
"Damn it, do you think we're your bodyguards?"
"For your lives, you want us to give up the Divine Platform and the hope of becoming King Wu? You bastards, you deserve to die!"
"Kill them already, don't waste time."
The disciples of the three religions were terrified upon hearing this. They never expected that a mere robbery would lead to such an end.
"No, you can bring us into the inner area, and we can pay you."
"Spare me!"
...
However.
Without further ado, the group killed the remaining six disciples of the three sects one by one.
"Sigh, these poor bastards, they thought they could borrow something good from the sect and get something out of it, but they got nothing in return."
"Don't even think about it. Even if they can borrow something good to exchange for their lives, given their nature, who knows how they might scheme against us in the future? It's better if they die."
"Damn it, what kind of mess is this?"
The ten martial gods, all at the peak of the Innate Realm, were utterly speechless.
Not only did they not get to eat any mutton, they also got into a lot of trouble.
Fortunately, they were all from the Martial God faction and were not too worried about killing the disciples of these three factions.
In this secret realm, life and death are preordained.
and.
Once they ascend to the Divine Platform and comprehend the cultivation techniques, they will all become Divine Platform masters, or even Martial Kings.
The sects valued them differently, so naturally they wouldn't hand them over.
This is why they dare to make such a blatant fortune.
After the ten men disposed of the body, they quickly returned to the border area.
Looking at the deserted beach, the ten people sighed silently again.
This pot is definitely going to be divided.
"That bastard Lu Tao is too ruthless."
"This person is a bit cunning; it's best not to provoke him in the future."
"I'm not going to talk about him anymore, I'm too tired."
Everyone felt helpless.
Today's events show that Lu Tao has completely outmaneuvered them.
The key issue is that they can't beat Lu Tao, so they have no way to get revenge.
If it were anything else, even if they couldn't defeat Lu Tao, they could at least report it to the sect and seek justice for them.
But they don't have the nerve to do what happened today.
Because Lu Tao cast a wide net, or rather, he set the hook randomly, and they just kept walking towards it.
Can we blame Lu Tao for this? No.
Most importantly, they didn't get any benefits, which was embarrassing to talk about and would be ridiculed. The sect elders would be too embarrassed to help them and might even punish them.
So they had no choice but to swallow their pride and bear this loss.
"Let's go to the altar."
The ten people did not wait any longer and entered the inner perimeter of the secret realm, heading towards the divine platform.
——
On the other side.
Inside the giant ship, sensing the simultaneous disappearance of several spiritual imprints, Lu Tao, who was cultivating, revealed a satisfied smile, and then continued his secluded cultivation, striving to break through to the late stage of the Innate Realm...
