Chapter 57: Stealing the Immortal Grass
In the northeast corner of the Xinyu Linlang Immortal Palace, in the mountains and forests on the border of Jinan Prefecture and Qingzhou Prefecture.
At some point, a road had been cleared through the dense jungle here, and the trees of all sizes, whether pulled out by people or knocked down by monsters, lay in a mess on both sides of the road.
Early in the morning, before the morning mist had dissipated, a strange convoy appeared on the road in the forest.
The one pulling the cart in front of the convoy was actually a sheep monster that was eighty or ninety feet tall, and the cart that the sheep monster was pulling was also quite large, like a palace. On both sides of the palace, more than ten men and women were riding on sheep monsters that were also one or two feet tall, which looked really weird.
They had such a huge carriage that the entire road was almost blocked. The men and women on both sides even had to wave their hands and chop down the big trees on both sides from time to time before they could pass. Naturally, the whole convoy could not move fast.
They were moving slowly forward when another convoy suddenly appeared from behind. The carriages of this convoy were not as big as theirs, but they were pulled by a blue wolf that was over ten feet tall. Twenty or thirty men and women on both sides of the carriages were riding blue wolves that were also one or two feet tall.
Wolves love to eat sheep. When the giant wolf pulling the cart saw a group of sheep monsters in front of it, its saliva began to flow.
The convoy at the rear was already running fast, and when a flock of sheep appeared in front, a group of wolf monsters became even more excited and howled, and in a flash they caught up with the convoy in front.
"Humph, you little beasts, what do you want to do?"
Suddenly, an old woman's cold snort was heard from the palace in front. The giant wolves that were originally running wildly stopped in panic, immediately supporting themselves with their front legs on the ground, as if they had seen some horrible monster.
The men and women riding on the wolf demon were fine, but the huge frame of the vehicle could not stop the giant wolf's hind legs from hitting them.
At this moment, a bunch of vines suddenly grew out of the ground, and instantly pulled the frame of the car. An old voice sounded at the same time: "Is that the ancestor of the Qingyang Zhang family, Hongyun? The junior is Zhao Menghuai from Tianshui."
The old woman named Grandmother Hongyun said angrily, "Zhao Menghuai, you little bastard, if I were not here, would you eat them all?"
In these desolate mountains and wilderness , it’s inevitable that I’ll have such thoughts!
Anyway, if I eat it all, no one will know, right?
Zhao Menghuai quickly apologized, "Grandmaster, I'm sorry, I was in a hurry to get to the new domain and almost bumped into your frame. I hope you can forgive me."
Ancestor Hongyun snorted coldly: "Get lost!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Menghuai quickly raised his hand and pushed, and a large area of the jungle on the side of the road fell down instantly.
Then, he pretended to be anxious and said, "Grandpa, I really have something urgent to do, so I won't accompany you any longer."
After that, he urged again: "Hurry, go around."
Their convoy ran for more than ten miles, and Zhao Chenglin in the carriage finally couldn't help asking: "Grandpa, why should we be afraid of that old woman?"
Zhao Menghuai glared at him and said in a deep voice, "Don't think that we, the Tianshui Zhao family, are arrogant just because we are ranked first. You haven't seen the Immortal Ranking yet, right? Qingyang Zhang Hongyun is ranked eighth on the Immortal Ranking, and she is famous for her hot temper. She is giving face to our Tianshui Zhao family by not beating us up!"
At this time, there were quite a few such strange convoys in the new domain, and the giant beasts pulling the carts were also strange. Chen Jiu had just entered the Linlang Immortal Palace for less than a hundred miles when he discovered such a convoy in front of him.
The convoy was actually pulled by a giant sika deer. Moreover, wherever the convoy passed, the trees in the jungle fell to the sides like flowing water.
He stood on the top of the mountain, looked back at the forest path that seemed to have no end, and frowned.
There are definitely earthly immortals in this caravan. Those pulling the carts are all deer demons close to the peak of the demon king level, and the person sitting in the car is probably a master on the immortal list!
The young men of wealthy families outside the cars were all riding deer monsters that were one or two meters tall, and their strength was probably at the level of monster kings.
There are so many masters in this group alone, and they have also tamed so many monsters. He still underestimated the wealthy families.
He frowned and pondered for a while, then took out a gorgeous robe from the demon power space and put on it, then pulled out a huge medicine box and put it on his back.
In this way, he looked like a disciple from a wealthy and aristocratic family.
Originally, he wanted to transform into the true form of the Tiger God and rush around like he did last time, plundering the entire new domain, and then brazenly run to the Earth Fire Valley to cause a big fight between the aristocratic families and the Prince Lu's Mansion.
In this way, he could not only grab a large amount of magical herbs and elixirs like last time, but also get the Prince Lu's Mansion to "help" him attract the attention of the wealthy families, so as to buy more time for development.
Actually, he mainly wanted to rob. There was no other way. Nothing could get things faster than robbing. He was addicted to robbing. Moreover, what he robbed were the magical herbs and elixirs that the children of wealthy families had collected with great effort. It was a great pleasure just thinking about it.
It now seems that the method of open robbery will not work. Chen Banxian's name is definitely not enough to scare the masters on the Immortal List. He might get beaten up or even be beaten up by a bunch of earthly immortals.
Fortunately, he was well prepared, and if he couldn't rob, he could still steal.
Although this stealing method is a bit time-consuming, it is relatively safe. Moreover, he can also use this stealing method to disrupt the entire new domain.
He just carried the huge medicine box on his back, stretched out his long arms, and quickly rushed to the nearest spiritual field like swinging on a swing.
You know what, if you don’t look closely, he really looks a bit like a member of the Zhao family when he’s in such a hurry.
As for why he pretended to be like this, there was naturally a reason.
Not long after, he arrived near the first spiritual field. Coincidentally, the carriage pulled by the huge sika deer was parked in a newly built courtyard not far ahead.
As soon as he approached, the old man who got off the car stared at him and snorted, "Stop! Who are you?"
As expected, there are earth immortals, and their spiritual awareness is not weak.
Chen Jiu landed on the ground in response, and said calmly: "Zhao Chenggui from the Tianshui Zhao family."
The Tianshui Zhao family ranks number one in the world. How dare you do anything to me?
The reason why he pretended to be like this was to pretend to be a descendant of the Zhao family of Tianshui.
In this way, not only can the people from other aristocratic families be intimidated, but the Zhao family of Tianshui can also be made to bear the blame.
Sure enough, the old man was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then said expressionlessly: "This place is already owned, you should go somewhere else."
Chen Jiu bowed slightly, pretended to be polite, then jumped onto the treetop and swung to other places.
In fact, at the moment he bowed, his spiritual sense had already quickly bypassed the old man and searched the courtyard. He collected all the magical herbs and medicines in the house.
Perhaps, it was because more and more people were sent by wealthy families, and more and more magical herbs and medicines were found. He actually stole fifty or sixty magical herbs and medicines from the first magical field alone!
I wonder how the other wealthy families would feel when they found out that all the magical herbs and elixirs had been stolen. Would they dare to go and settle accounts with the Zhao family of Tianshui?
Hehehehe, it's exciting just thinking about it!
He was so excited that he had been stealing all the way here. The strength of these wealthy families was really not to be underestimated. Every spiritual field was guarded by a local immortal. Some places had only one, and some places even had two or three.
In just half a day, he had already met no less than twenty earthly immortals.
Fortunately, Tianshui Zhao's reputation was intimidating enough to scare people away. They didn't even think that he was here to steal magical herbs and elixirs. By the time they realized what was happening, he had already run away.
At about 3 p.m., he had already arrived at the outskirts of the spiritual field originally occupied by the Zhao family .
At this time, he has to change his name again.
He took the name Zhao Chenggui because the names of the Zhao family members all seemed to have the character "木" (wood) in their names, and the character "桂" (gui) has many homophones.
In this way, even if people from other aristocratic families knew the real Zhao Chenggui, they would think he was Zhao Chenggui, Zhao Chenghui, or Zhao Chengxu or something like that.
However, he could not use this name when he went to the Zhao family's territory, as that would make the Zhao family suspicious of other wealthy families. In order to muddy the waters, he had to change his name.
He opened his spiritual sense and quickly found a lone young boy picking herbs.
This guy didn't swing on the tree, nor did he use any wood-related magical powers, which proved that he was not a descendant of the Zhao family.
He swung over quickly, grabbed a vine, and whooshed down from the sky, landing behind the young man.
The young man was startled. He turned around, holding the hilt of the sword at his waist, and asked cautiously: "Who are you? What do you want to do?"
Chen Jiu smiled slightly, threw away the cane in his hand, and said politely, "My younger brother is Zhao Chenggui from the Zhao family of Tianshui. I wonder if you have a high name, brother."
What's the meaning?
The young man was still a little wary and said, "Thank you for being so polite, brother. I am Zhang Tingrui from the Yuyang Zhang family."
Hehe, it’s Zhang family that’s ranked second. No wonder they dare to pick herbs near Zhao family’s territory.
Not bad.
Chen Jiu smiled slightly and said, "Brother Zhang, don't be nervous. I just came to tell you that you have crossed the line a little bit."
When did the Zhao family members become so polite?
Upon hearing this, Zhang Tingrui immediately bowed and said, "Thank you, Brother Zhao, for telling me. I'll leave right away."
After saying that, he jumped up and turned into a giant bird with iron wings and flew away.
The Zhang family of Yuyang’s gold-based martial arts is truly amazing.
Chen Jiu narrowed his eyes slightly, thought for a moment, then took out an iron chain from the demon power space and continued to swing towards the territory of the Zhao family.
There was no other way. He didn't know any gold-based skills and couldn't transform into a giant iron-winged bird. He could only take out an iron chain that he didn't remember where he got from and pretend to be one.
