Chapter 1597: What the hell do you want?

Several Ancient Tribe experts examined the contents of the Space Ring, without the slightest hesitation, and immediately pursued Lao Gui again.

The Space Ring indeed contained many treasures, but they were not what everyone wanted.

What everyone wanted was the seasonings from that warehouse.

But Lao Gui didn't know this; upon seeing the Ancient Tribe experts, he glanced at the Space Ring and then stubbornly came after me.

For a moment, everyone was dumbfounded.

He had already borne the pain to let go, discarding the various treasures he had painstakingly obtained.

But the Ancient Tribe experts didn't even glance at them.

They couldn't even buy much time.

This left Lao Gui utterly bewildered—what situation, they don't even want the treasures?

Lao Gui never expected that what they wanted was not these treasures at all, but the warehouse of seasonings on his person.

Such a frantic pursuit of him was solely for this.

Even Lao Gui himself had almost forgotten that he was still carrying these seasonings.

Facing the pursuit of the Ancient Tribe experts behind him, Lao Gui broke out and fled.

But the many Ancient Tribe experts gritted their teeth and gave relentless chase.

This is a great opportunity to achieve great merit.

If we could capture Lao Gui, we might even get a chance to go to Dao Yi Shengdi for a meal.

The Ancient Tribe experts would never give up such an opportunity.

You know, nowadays, being able to eat a meal at Dao Yi Shengdi is incredibly tempting for them.

Usually, these outsiders have no chance at all.

They've been starving for it.

Right now, in the eyes of the Ancient Tribe experts, Lao Gui is nothing but a walking meal ticket.

Can you let such a meal ticket get away?

"Damn bastard, I've given you the treasures—what more do you want?"

"You want to chase me? Hmph, let's see if you can catch up."

Faced with the Ancient Tribe experts' relentless pursuit, Lao Gui also hardened his resolve.

As a disciple of the Thief Sect, Lao Gui has encountered such situations far too many times.

He already has abundant experience in dealing with such situations.

Relying on his superb movement technique and his own speed, Lao Gui is confident he can escape with ease.

Although a few of these Ancient Tribe experts surpass him in strength, capturing him is still no easy feat.

Thinking this, Lao Gui's figure suddenly became illusory; for a moment, before the Ancient Tribe experts, his figure split into seven.

Seven "Lao Gui" figures in total—most importantly, the Ancient Tribe experts could not tell which was real.

Looking at the seven Lao Gui before them, an Ancient Tribe expert frowned and said.

"External Incarnation?"

But soon, the leading Ancient Tribe expert rejected that notion.

"No, it's not an External Incarnation."

That Ancient Tribe expert could see through an External Incarnation at a glance, yet he could detect no clue in the method Lao Gui was using.

The method Lao Gui used was not that of an External Incarnation; it must be some other technique.

But they had never seen it before.

Lao Gui's methods look rather eerie; and the Lao Gui who instantly turned into seven people, without hesitation, scattered in different directions the next second.

They ran off in different directions.

Seeing this, the Ancient Tribe experts behind him had no time to think further, let alone hesitate.

They immediately decided to split up and pursue.

"Split up to chase—no matter real or fake, we can't let any of them go."

Since we can't tell real from fake, we have no choice but to use the stupid method—not letting any of them go, real or fake.

Following the words of the leading Ancient Tribe expert, the Ancient Tribe experts split up and went after Lao Gui.

Seeing that the Ancient Tribe experts behind him still hadn't given up, as if they would not rest until they caught him, Lao Gui's expression grew ever uglier.

Have I dug up your ancestors' graves?

And even if I had dug up your ancestors' graves, it wouldn't warrant this.

Back then, in other worlds, Lao Gui had indeed dug up people's ancestors' graves before.

But even so, he had never been pursued so relentlessly.

With such a posture of not letting go until they catch or kill him, just how deep a Blood Sea grudge must this be?

Lao Gui wondered, frankly, he's just a thief—where do you get such great resentment toward a thief?

Lao Gui had thrown away the treasures he'd stolen, yet the Ancient Tribe experts behind him still clung on relentlessly.

Just as Lao Gui was pondering, suddenly a crack appeared in the space before him.

This sudden change startled Lao Gui immediately.

"How is this possible…"

When did this person ahead appear? And could he have already seen through my technique?

How did he determine my true body?

Lao Gui's mind was full of doubts, completely unable to comprehend, yet he wasn't given any time to react.

The next second, Lao Gui was kicked away by a foot.

His whole body flew backward, and that kick's tremendous power directly made him spit out a mouthful of blood.

The attacker is at least a Great Emperor-level expert.

He slammed hard to the ground, and the old ghost struggled a few times but couldn't get up.

That seemingly simple kick just now not only severely injured his fleshly body, but also heavily damaged his soul.

The attack carried a soul attack.

Blood kept trickling from the corner of his mouth; such a severe injury cannot be healed in a short time.

By now, the old ghost also knows that he has no hope of escaping.

Because he is already surrounded by a host of Ancient Tribe experts.

Adding to that, his injuries are severe.

Although the old ghost is at the end of his rope, his gaze is fixed tightly on the spatial rift before him.

He appears completely indifferent to everything else.

He now only wants to know who the person who attacked him just now was.

Under the old ghost's gaze, a figure slowly walked out from the spatial rift ahead.

It turned out to be the Fifth Elder of Dao Yi Shengdi, Tian Nong.

Leaving aside Shi Song, Wu Shou and the others, Tian Nong seems to be little-known among the chief elders of Dao Yi Shengdi.

He also lacks any particularly strong presence, and usually conducts himself very discreetly.

But don't think that means Tian Nong's strength is weak.

On the contrary, his cultivation is not much inferior to that of Shi Song and the others.

This time, in capturing the old ghost, Tian Nong happened to be in charge of the Ancient Tribe region.

Upon receiving the news, he rushed over immediately.

Using his own divine abilities, he saw through the old ghost's petty tricks, successfully located his true self, and then with a single kick subdued that old scoundrel.

Seeing that the one who defeated him was an unprepossessing old man, the old ghost clenched his teeth in silence and asked the question that had long been on his mind.

"What exactly do you want? I've already returned that treasure to you."

Upon hearing that, Tian Nong glanced at the Ancient Tribe expert beside him; seeing the situation, the leading Ancient Tribe expert spoke coldly.

"No."

"Huh???"

Hearing that, the old ghost was bewildered; what do you mean 'no'? Just now you clearly took it away.

The next second, that Ancient Tribe expert continued.

"It's not what we want."
