Chapter 639 - 634: Plundering Treasures

Chapter 639: Chapter 634: Plundering Treasures

The Infinite King was slain.

The Six Great Kings were forced into the Ancient Forbidden Land.

Little Celestial King Luo Wushuang was annihilated.

This series of news reports struck the Six Eastern Provinces like a storm of the century, leaving countless Martial Artists speechless.

What shocked people even more was that all this had been accomplished by a young man of only twenty. The Seven Great Kings’ thousand-year reign over the Six Eastern Provinces had been toppled by a single youth.

On this day, countless Martial Artists felt their worldviews shatter, as if heaven and earth themselves had been turned upside down.

For the people of the Seven Great Super Sects, this day was a lingering nightmare, and a thick, dark cloud seemed to settle over every heart.

For ages, the Seven Great Super Sects had reigned supreme. Countless Martial Artists considered it a great honor to join them. Being accepted meant a limitless future and bringing glory to one’s ancestors.

This belief was deeply ingrained in the heart of every Martial Artist. It could be said that the Seven Great Super Sects were the Martial Arts Sacred Lands of the Six Eastern Provinces.

But now, these Martial Arts Sacred Lands had been trampled underfoot.

’The Seven Great Super Sects... are we really finished?’

Countless disciples of the Seven Great Super Sects wept bitterly, refusing to accept this reality.

They were accustomed to their lofty positions, looking down on ordinary people. Who could have imagined that a single Ning Jiang would so completely upend their status?

"Gather everyone! Form a Grand Array and fight Ning Jiang to the death! We’ll show him that the Seven Great Super Sects cannot be trifled with!"

Some radical young disciples clamored.

However, most remained calm.

Even the Seven Great Kings had been defeated; they were no match for Ning Jiang. What good would greater numbers do? ’All are but ants beneath a King.’ This was no mere saying. A King could annihilate tens of thousands of Martial Artists with a wave of his hand.

They couldn’t even protect themselves now. If Ning Jiang decided to attack, their only path was death.

Panic spread through the Seven Great Super Sects. Some disciples even began to flee in secret, terrified that disaster was imminent.

But in Ning Jiang’s eyes, these ordinary disciples were beneath his notice.

He was magnanimous enough not to extend his enmity with the Seven Great Kings to their ordinary disciples. He was not, after all, Little Celestial King Luo Wushuang, who was known for wiping out entire families and clans.

However, this did not mean Ning Jiang would let them off completely. The Seven Great Super Sects still had to be punished in some way.

On the very day after the great battle, Ning Jiang’s first stop was the Celestial Sword Sect.

His arrival terrified everyone in the Celestial Sword Sect. From the True Monarchs of the Heaven-Reaching Realm down to the ordinary disciples in the Spirit Realm, everyone turned pale, fearing that Ning Jiang, in a fit of rage, would wash the Celestial Sword Sect in blood.

In the end, however, Ning Jiang merely entered one of the Celestial Sword Sect’s forbidden areas. Immediately, terrifying streams of Sword Qi shot into the sky, splitting the clouds. It was a horrifying sight, as if a great battle had erupted.

’What is all this commotion? Is someone actually fighting that great devil?’

The disciples of the Celestial Sword Sect wondered.

Many now regarded Ning Jiang as a great devil, for he had single-handedly upended the order of the Six Eastern Provinces and shattered the hegemony of the Seven Great Super Sects.

"Oh no! That’s our Celestial Sword Sect’s treasury! But the Celestial Sword King left an Array to guard it... He’s clearly attacking the treasury!"

A Heaven-Reaching Realm expert exclaimed, his face paling.

The Celestial Sword Sect’s treasury had always been a forbidden area. For centuries, countless Heavenly and Earthly Treasures and other rare oddities had been collected and stored within.

The treasury was protected by a Sword Array personally left by the Celestial Sword King, its power sufficient to kill any Heaven-Reaching Realm expert who dared to approach.

It was certain, however, that the Array would not be able to stop Ning Jiang.

Sure enough, after only a few breaths’ time, everything fell silent.

About the time it takes an incense stick to burn later, Ning Jiang transformed into a rainbow of sword light and departed from the Celestial Sword Sect. Only after he was gone did the sect members dare approach the treasury to investigate.

When they saw the state of the treasury, some of the Heaven-Reaching Realm experts nearly fainted from rage.

The vast treasury was now empty, with only a few items of ordinary value remaining. All the other precious Treasures had been taken by Ning Jiang.

"The rare treasures from heaven and earth that our Celestial Sword Sect has spent hundreds of years, generation after generation, collecting... they’re all gone."

A veteran True Monarch of the Heaven-Reaching Realm wept, tears streaming down his aged face.

For a Sect, besides having a Top Level expert to hold the fort, the most valuable asset is abundant resources. Resources are indispensable for a Sect’s growth and strength.

But now, the Celestial Sword Sect’s abundant resources had been plundered by Ning Jiang.

The Celestial Sword Sect was now destitute. Any random Top Grade Sect was wealthier. How could they possibly cultivate their disciples now? It was certain that the Celestial Sword Sect was destined for decline.

This was not unique to the Celestial Sword Sect.

Ning Jiang paid a "visit" to each of the other Super Sects in turn. He could spare their ordinary disciples, but since the Seven Great Kings had made him their enemy, he had to collect some interest. The Treasures in their vaults were the best form of compensation.

As he plundered these Treasures, the members of the Seven Great Super Sects were all sensible enough not to stand in his way. No one dared to stop him. In fact, they all breathed a long sigh of relief upon his departure.

Losing the Treasures accumulated over centuries was a devastating blow, but it was far better than losing their lives.

...

「Celestial Domain.」

In an unknown region of the void.

A handsome young man suddenly opened his eyes. He had an imposing figure and a terrifying aura, and his gaze burned like a pair of dazzling torches.

Myriad rays of light emanated from his body, and a Divine Flame wreathed him, exuding an aura of invincibility.

Luo Wushuang. Top five on the Celestial List, a figure of great renown throughout the entire Celestial Domain!

To be more precise, his was a fearsome reputation. He rampaged across the Celestial Domain, and countless experts had fallen by his hand. Even ancient, powerful factions had been annihilated by him.

He had climbed to the peak one step at a time, treading on the corpses of countless experts.

’I never thought the insignificant Six Eastern Provinces could produce someone like this.’

Luo Wushuang’s voice was like thunder, shaking the very void around him.

’If I weren’t occupied with important matters, I would personally pay a visit to the Six Eastern Provinces.’ Luo Wushuang’s gaze was ice-cold; he was the type to retaliate over the slightest offense.

’A mere Ning Jiang dared to provoke me and show such disrespect. How could I possibly tolerate it?’

’Perhaps because I haven’t been in the Six Eastern Provinces for so long, the people there have forgotten my methods and my authority. That must be why they dare to be so brazen.’

However, he suppressed his killing intent.

He had more important things to do than deal with Ning Jiang.

’Forget it. You’re just a little grasshopper. I’ll let you hop around for a while. Once I’m free, I’ll come and crush you myself.’

Luo Wushuang closed his eyes, and the void fell silent once more.
