Chapter 240: Robbing This Sect Ancestor, What Gall!

"Did you see how they bought things in the chamber of commerce just now? They didn't even ask for the price, just bought it."

Five black shadows wore black robes, their voices hoarse, unable to distinguish gender or age. They shuttled through the dense forest, agile and not detected by Lu Yang and Meng Meng Meng Meng Jingzhou.

"Their faces are fair, and they don't look like they are wearing clothes from around here. They look like disciples from some sect or family coming out to see the world."

Another person sneered, like a poisonous snake hiding in the dark: "See the world? Then let them see the dangers of the world."

"Did you hear what that little white face said just now? Said they have mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation. Considering their status, their combat power can rival late-stage Foundation Establishment."

"So what if it's late-stage Foundation Establishment? We are all late-stage Foundation Establishment, experienced. How could these two little guys be our opponents?"

"Still need to be careful."

"Remember the sect disciples we met last time? We did one job and rested for three months. We do this job today, and we can rest for three months again!"

"More than that, I think the spirit stones they are carrying are more than we imagined. They are big fat sheep."

"It's about here. Few people come here usually." "Do it!"

The leader gave an order, and the five figures scattered, moving quickly, surrounding the two.

They stood in pre-determined positions, ensuring the two wouldn't leave in any direction.

From their skilled movements, it could be seen that they didn't know how many times they had done this kind of thing.

"Stop!" the leader shouted sharply, containing sound wave spells that could shock the mind.

"Who are you!" Lu Yang and Meng Meng Meng Meng Jingzhou were obviously frightened. Although they put on a vigilant posture, the panic in their eyes was not well hidden.

"Sure enough, they are newcomers. They don't even know the name of the Five Heroes of Eagle Mountain and dare to mix in the dense forest." The leader lifted his hood, revealing a sharp, thin face, a hooked nose, and very cold eyes.

As he spoke, the five released late-stage Foundation Establishment fluctuations, telling the two not to make futile resistance.

"Don't know which family or sect cultivated you, you can't even see what we are doing. Naive," another person's voice was terrifying and gloomy, lifting his hood, with one eye blind.

"In the dense forest, we five surround you. What else do you think it could be?"

"Just saw you bought a lot of things in the chamber of commerce. You two are quite rich."

"Speak, how many spirit stones do you have? If the price satisfies us, this matter is easy to discuss."

"If the spirit stones are not enough, then don't blame the Five Heroes of Eagle Mountain for being heartless!" At the end, the voice became abnormally cold, revealing a cruel meaning.

Lu Yang and Meng Meng Meng Meng Jingzhou looked at each other and smiled, spreading their hands helplessly.

Unexpectedly, the first enemy they encountered in the dense forest was not a demon beast, but a human.

"Do it, let them know how powerful we are!"

The leader gave an order, and the five acted together. They cooperated well and had never encountered an opponent in the Foundation Establishment stage. They were about to catch Lu Yang and Meng Meng Meng Meng Jingzhou.

Unexpectedly, both of them acted at the same time, their speed shockingly fast.

"Drawing the Ground as a Prison!" "Draw the dungeon!"

Lu Yang and Meng Meng Meng Meng Jingzhou drew circles quickly, performing similar spells. Invisible barriers appeared around the five, blocking their way, and then they were pulled into the dungeon.

"What kind of means is this!"

"The legendary Drawing the Ground as a Prison?"

"No, we are in a dungeon. This is a spatial spell!" "It's Drawing Dao, it must be Drawing Dao!"

The five discussed noisily. They were trapped in the dungeon and invisible barriers, at a loss for what to do about this sudden change.

"Robbing this sect leader? Tired of living?" Meng Meng Meng Meng Jingzhou sneered. "Robbing this sect ancestor? What gall!" Lu Yang sneered.

Meng Meng Meng Meng Jingzhou looked back in surprise: "I'm only a sect leader, when did you promote yourself?"

The Immortal Sect went bankrupt because of poor management and meeting the wrong people. How could you still be promoted?

"What do you mean by promoting myself? This was specially approved by the immortal." Lu Yang said righteously.

Meng Meng Meng Meng Jingzhou thought that Lu Yang still had an immortal living in his body, so he understood.

He was quite envious of Lu Yang. Having an immortal soul in his body meant he could ask the immortal questions at any time and get the immortal's guidance. What a great opportunity this was.

"Speak, how many times have you robbed, and have you killed anyone?"

"Why waste words? They must have killed. Look at his face, does it look like he hasn't killed anyone?"

"Send them directly to the government office. Whether to kill or lock them up, let them look at the trial."

"Wait, wait, wait, two young heroes, there is some misunderstanding between us!" The hooked-nose leader hurriedly said, "I can't decide what I look like, and we are not robbers."

"Wait, wait, wait, two young heroes, there's been some misunderstanding between us!" the hook-nosed leader said hurriedly. "I can't help how I look, and we aren't here to rob you."

Meng Meng Meng Meng Jingzhou didn't believe the hook-nosed leader's nonsense for a second: "There's no damn misunderstanding. You've been following us since we left the chamber of commerce, deliberately hiding outside our spiritual sense range when we reached the dense forest, and then followed us all the way to this godforsaken place and surrounded us! And you say this isn't a robbery?"

Lu Yang added: "You even said you wanted to let us know the world is a dangerous place, and something about how you met sect disciples last time, and 'do one job, rest for three months'."

The five were shocked; they hadn't expected their movements to be exposed from the very beginning. They should have been well outside the spiritual sense range of Foundation Establishment cultivators.

What kind of disciples were these two, to be so sharp?

What they didn't know was that Lu Yang's spiritual sense could long ago rival that of a Jin Dan cultivator; he had heard their conversation clearly.

"We really aren't here to rob you, we're bodyguards, bodyguards!" "What the hell?" Lu Yang and Meng Meng Meng Meng Jingzhou were both caught off guard.

"We saw you two didn't even ask about the price at the chamber of commerce, so we figured you were disciples from noble families here for training, never having to worry about spirit stones. We were afraid you weren't familiar with this place and would suffer a big loss, so we came specifically to act as bodyguards!"

"Then what did you mean by saying you wanted to let us see the dangers of the world?"

The hook-nosed leader stammered: "That was just because we saw you had money, so we raised the fee. If we earned enough this time, we could rest for a few months after the job was done."

"Then why did you ask how many spirit stones we had?" "To make it easier to set a price."

"And what did you mean when you said if we didn't have enough spirit stones, don't blame the Five Heroes of Eagle Mountain for being heartless?"

"If you kept walking forward, you'd be in the territory of a half-step Jin Dan demonic beast. If you didn't have enough spirit stones, we wouldn't have warned you and would have let you keep walking."

"And what about the talk of taking action earlier?"

"We saw you waving your hands and thought you were refusing to let us be your bodyguards, so we were preparing to lure out that half-step Jin Dan demonic beast ahead and have a fight to show you the strength of the five of us."

Another person muttered: "But looking at you two, you probably don't need us as bodyguards."

"Then why did you insist on talking to us about being bodyguards in the dense forest?" "No taxes to pay."

Lu Yang: "..."

So you treat the dense forest as a tax-free zone, is that it?
