Chapter 658: Schemes against the Xia Clan; fertile fields cannot fall into the hands of outsiders; meeting Feng Xiaotian on the road
After killing the Scarlet Refinement Thief and the other two, counting the previous ones, Within Jun Xiaoyao had already killed seven of the Thirteen Great Thieves.
But this was not enough; Within Jun Xiaoyao wanted all thirteen of them to go to hell together and cross the Yellow Springs in peace.
"As expected of great thieves, they have quite a few treasures."
Within Jun Xiaoyao scanned the cave dwelling casually and unceremoniously looted all the treasure resources.
Even if he didn't look highly upon these resources, they could be used to reward others.
After all, Within Jun Xiaoyao was no longer a lone wolf; he had the Jun Imperial Court behind him.
He had to consider the Jun Imperial Court at all times.
It was impossible for all the Jun Imperial Court's resources to come from the Jun Clan.
As Within Jun Xiaoyao's private force, the Jun Imperial Court still could not rely too heavily on the Jun Clan's funding.
Furthermore, Within Jun Xiaoyao had an ambition in his heart.
He wanted to build the Jun Imperial Court into something like the Ancient Heavenly Court from myths.
To establish a Heavenly Palace, hold the Heavenly Dao, judge life and death, and shape reincarnation.
Or in other words, Within Jun Xiaoyao wanted the Jun Imperial Court to rival or even surpass the Supreme Immortal Court!
Of course, this was a long process, and Within Jun Xiaoyao only had a rough idea.
He needed to win step by step, absorbing forces and power from all sides to join the Jun Imperial Court.
Otherwise, there would be no need for Within Jun Xiaoyao to win over potential races like the Snake-People.
But these were matters for later.
Currently, Within Jun Xiaoyao had collected all the resources, and as for those bloodlines and constitutions, Within Jun Xiaoyao also collected them.
For Within Jun Xiaoyao, who possessed the Ancient Sacred Body and the Supreme Bone, he did not look highly upon these bloodlines and constitutions.
But they could be left for Yan Qingying to devour.
Or they could be rewarded to those around him.
"It seems that to deal with the Heaven-Slaying Thief and the others, we must go deeper into the Ultimate Ancient Road. Let's go."
Within Jun Xiaoyao was still somewhat disappointed that he hadn't wiped out the Thirteen Great Thieves in one go this time.
This stronghold in the Pit of Sin was just one of the Thirteen Great Thieves' stopover points.
The Heaven-Slaying Thief, the Greedy Wolf Thief, and the others were all deep in the ancient road.
But it didn't matter; Within Jun Xiaoyao would eventually reach the end of the ancient road.
He wouldn't need to find them; the Heaven-Slaying Thief and the others would likely seek him out proactively.
After all, the Heaven-Slaying Thief was one of the Seven Emperors Defying the Jun.
Just as Within Jun Xiaoyao and Yan Rumeng were about to leave, that muffled sound came again.
Within Jun Xiaoyao turned his head to look; the second young lady of the Xia Clan, Xia Chuqing, who was wrapped in chains and had her mouth sealed with a talisman, was making muffled cries.
A look of bewilderment even appeared in her eyes.
Weren't this man and woman sent by the Xia Clan to save her?
Why, after killing the three great thieves, were they turning a blind eye to her?
"Should we take her back?" Yan Rumeng asked.
Within Jun Xiaoyao pondered slightly, and suddenly, his eyes flashed, as if he had thought of something.
"A cornucopia, the little rich woman of the Xia Clan, Xia Bingyun; this is a fertile field," Within Jun Xiaoyao thought to himself.
The Xia Clan's ability to become one of the giants of the Myriad Clan Merchant Alliance was proof enough of its abundant financial resources.
Even setting the Xia Clan aside.
The wealth and resources controlled by Xia Bingyun alone, who possessed the Emperor Weapon Cornucopia, were enough to make immortal forces jealous.
Moreover, Within Jun Xiaoyao had heard before that this Xia Bingyun was also a strong woman.
Most of the Xia Clan's commercial transactions were controlled by her.
She had also almost been confirmed as the next female head of the Xia Clan.
In other words, obtaining Xia Bingyun meant obtaining the resources and wealth of a super-rich family.
"No wonder that Feng Clan Daoist was so attentive; I'm afraid the old man's intention was not in the wine, but in wanting Xia Bingyun's resources to help."
Within Jun Xiaoyao understood immediately.
How could such a fertile field be allowed to fall into the hands of others in vain?
Controlling it in his own hands was the best option.
It just so happened that the Jun Imperial Court was large and lacked resources.
Thinking of this, Within Jun Xiaoyao turned and walked to Xia Chuqing's side.
He tore apart the chains on her body and ripped off the talisman on her mouth.
Only then did Xia Chuqing gasp for air, her jade hands patting her small chest.
"You scared me to death; I thought you weren't going to bother with me," Xia Chuqing said with a sigh of relief.
She was pretty and delicate, with bright eyes and white teeth, skin as fine as mutton-fat jade, and large, lively eyes. Her dark hair was tied into double buns, making her look as beautiful as a field elf.
"How could I not bother with you?" Within Jun Xiaoyao smiled slightly.
Hearing this gentle voice, Xia Chuqing's eyes brightened slightly.
Although the young man in front of her was wearing a somewhat strange and clumsy ghost-face mask.
Judging by his voice, he must be a very handsome little brother.
Coupled with the fact that Within Jun Xiaoyao had just killed three notorious great thieves with ease, his powerful strength made Xia Chuqing's eyes light up, giving her a sense of security.
Her first impression of Within Jun Xiaoyao became even better.
Moreover, if she were to know Within Jun Xiaoyao's true identity, she would likely be so excited that she would faint.
"Alright, this is no place to stay long; let's go." Within Jun Xiaoyao's voice was gentle, instinctively evoking a warm sense of favor.
"Mm, thank you. Later, I will definitely have my sister reward you handsomely." Xia Chuqing smiled and nodded.
Beside her, Yan Rumeng saw Within Jun Xiaoyao's suddenly changed attitude and understood that he probably had some scheme again.
"Sigh, ignorant little girl," Yan Rumeng sighed in her heart.
It was obvious that Within Jun Xiaoyao had ideas about the Xia Clan and wanted to use Xia Chuqing as an entry point.
However, thinking that she herself seemed to have been infatuated by Within Jun Xiaoyao, she didn't seem qualified to talk about others.
Subsequently, Within Jun Xiaoyao took Yan Rumeng and Xia Chuqing and prepared to leave the Pit of Sin.
"Pardon the offense."
Within Jun Xiaoyao held Yan Rumeng in one arm and Xia Chuqing in the other, unleashing the Kunpeng Extreme Speed and driving the Void Immortal Qi.
His figure turned into a faint shadow, hiding in the void, flashing through the Pit of Sin.
Xia Chuqing let out a small "ah," her face slightly red.
From childhood to now, this was the first time she had been held like this by a strange man.
Strangely, Xia Chuqing felt not a trace of disgust or offense in her heart.
"What a fragrant scent..." Xia Chuqing smelled the fresh, faint body scent on Within Jun Xiaoyao.
She looked at the face wearing the ghost-face mask and couldn't help but murmur in her heart.
"I wonder what kind of face is beneath this mask?"
On the way out of the Pit of Sin, there were some villains and bandits with keen spiritual senses who noticed Within Jun Xiaoyao and the others.
But in an instant, they were killed by Within Jun Xiaoyao, and not even the news could be sent out.
Xia Chuqing saw Within Jun Xiaoyao's demeanor as he killed all enemies with ease, and her beautiful eyes shone with brilliance.
Such a mysterious and powerful man was indeed very attractive to young girls.
Just as they were about to pass through another road to leave the Pit of Sin.
Several figures suddenly appeared in front, and it was actually Feng Xiaotian and the others who had gone deep into the Pit of Sin.
The attendant at the Great Perfection of the Sage Realm beside Feng Xiaotian also discovered Within Jun Xiaoyao and the others.
"Daoist, it's the Xia Clan's young lady!" the attendant pointed at Within Jun Xiaoyao and the others and said.
"It really is her, but how could she have been saved by him?"
Feng Xiaotian saw Xia Chuqing, and his eyes lit up.
But at the same time, he also saw Within Jun Xiaoyao holding Xia Chuqing.
This caused Feng Xiaotian's face to sink suddenly.
If the person who saved Xia Chuqing wasn't him, how could he gain Xia Bingyun's special regard? ===== CHAPTER 659 =====
