Capítulo 122: Take Everything
Chen Wentian, Wu Qianyu, and Mei Qiaofeng flew at full speed high above the sky, in a full sprint towards Beast God City. Mei Qiaofeng was surprised Chen Wentian could keep up with her pace but she was even more shocked that the ugly flying carriage that Wu Qianyu rode could fly like an immortal! She thought Chen Wentian had been joking when he said his disciple could help during the attack. But, with insane treasures like that, he can do whatever he wanted…
As they got about halfway, Chen Wentian felt the shadow fox soul return to his body after expending all of its energy. He turned to Mei Qiaofeng, ""Jasmine is free, all immortals are at Rich River Province, there should be no problems."
"Don't look at me. You look ridiculous." Mei Qiaofeng muttered and drifted a bit farther away from him.
She was referring to his disguise. He didn't want two enraged Spirit Kings chasing him after this so he disguised himself. He had completely dyed his hair gray, worn a wig and a fake beard, and put on makeup expertly to look like an overweight seventy-year-old man. Even Wu Qianyu could not recognize him if he didn't tell her.
Chen Wentian muttered to himself in annoyance before turning to Wu Qianyu, "Qianyu, stay here."
"Yes master!"
Wu Qianyu obediently pulled her flying carriage to a stop and watched the two of them change altitude and shoot downwards. Tortoise Can Fly would be easily recognizable so she would stay a safe distance way. If it was the original plan where they had to fight five immortals guarding the city, she would have been helpful serving as a distraction since Tortoise Can Fly would protect her against all Spirit Lord attacks. But in this situation, he didn't need to reveal this treasure to his enemies.
Mei Qiaofeng and Chen Wentian descended rapidly through the clouds until Beast God City finally came within their sights. As they approached, they saw spiritual messages being sent off like fireworks. It didn't matter how many were sent, no immortals were going to come and save them for another ten minutes at least.
Once they arrived, they exploded into action.
Mei Qiaofeng transformed her lower body into a gigantic tan and brown skinned python that was every bit as impressive as his Golden Serpent. Her thick and powerful snake body could crush anything that was unfortunate enough to be captured. Her target was the Eagle Lord's castle and she directly crashed through the roof of the main building in a thundering impact. As the dust cleared, her vengeful immortal aura squashed anyone that happened to get too close. She didn't care who died, she just wanted to cause as much destruction as possible.
Chen Wentian concentrated on his own target, the Lion Lord's castle. He did not use his blue flames but instead emitted the sword aura of the Purple Jade Hercules Beetle. He didn't care for too much wanton destruction as he made a direct line towards the secret passageway that Jasmine was in.
"Stop! Intruder!"
"Attack!"
A pack of twenty or so guards at the upper Spirit Initiate Realm tried to block his way. They barely put up a fight with their combined spiritual power before the purple sword energy took away their lives. He met more and more guards as well as elders along the way. From He Xingping's memories, he knew almost everyone in the castle and he didn't care for any of them. He was like a grim reaper as he wiped out anyone that stood in his way.
When he finally arrived at the underground hallway, he saw that the secret door to the prison tunnel was open. Jasmine was already out but he didn't see her along the way so she must have gotten lost. Typical… though he didn't worry too much since there was nobody in the city that could challenge her.
He turned and headed down a different underground hallway. He stopped at the end where there were a dozen familiar men, the guards that protected the basement storage room.
"Halt!"
"Who are you?"
When they saw he had no intentions of stopping, they charged at him with swords raised but they were met with a wall of purple blade energy.
"Ahhh!"
Splat!
They all collapsed in a heap and did not get up. He didn't care if they were dead or not and continued, rushing through the doorway, blasting away the executive elder ruthlessly, and finally entered the storage room.
This was Chen Wentian's goal since the beginning and he was finally going to take everything!
He overpowered the protective inscription arrays and sucked up anything he saw into his spatial bag. He didn't care what it was; gold, pills, crystals, weapons, herbs, manuals, nothing was left behind.
After he was done, he went back to the main castle and started targeting the executive elders. He made sure to visit Ji Yeming first and was glad to see he was still there.
"Sir immortal, please spare me!" Ji Yeming cried out when he saw the strange elderly man charge into his office. He prostrated himself on the ground, hoping against hope. But luck was not on his side, he should have fled sooner instead of trying to be a good elder and organize the men.
"No hard feelings," Chen Wentian said in a gruff voice before separating the man's head from his body.
Chen Wentian didn't really care about Ji Yeming, only that it might allow He Xingping a chance at promotion to executive elder in the future. He scooped up everything that looked of value and continued onwards.
By now, a majority of the people in the castle had fled for their lives and he saw less and less people in the rooms and corridors. His progress was smooth. He quickly finished up the offices so he raided the private library, then the offices of the immortals, and finally He Zicheng's private room.
The rooms of the immortals barely had anything which was expected as they kept the good stuff in their own spatial bags. Chen Wentian ransacked their rooms out of spite, taking everything that could fit into his spatial bags, even what looked like a very expensive and richly decorated desk inside He Zicheng's room. When he finally emerged and flew into the air, he saw Jasmine and Mei Qiaofeng in midair fighting each other.
It wasn't a serious fight like one between two sworn enemies but more like one where two women absolutely hated each other and wanted to pull each other's hair out.
"You garden snake. How dare you hit me!"
"Bitch, don't talk to your elder that way!"
"Slut, I'm three times as old as you!"
Chen Wentian sighed and flew up to them, "Children! Stop it! We should get out of here."
Jasmine was so confused by this strange ugly man that she stopped arguing with Mei Qiaofeng. It took her a few seconds before recognizing his Purple Jade Hercules Beetle aura.
Chen Wentian took the chance to survey the city and saw that the Eagle Lord's castle was mostly in ruins while only about half of the Lion Lord's castle looked damaged. There were signs of fighting around the castles but the it was mostly limited to the peak of the mountain city. He assumed both Mei Qiaofeng and Jasmine didn't want to cause too many innocent casualties due to lingering feelings for their former home.
There was nothing else to do and they flew off. The whole ordeal had taken only a little over five minutes and they retreated successfully before either He Zicheng or Qu Shen could return.
"Where is your sneaky immortal friend? I was hoping to meet him." Mei Qiaofeng asked.
"Oh… uh, he left. He's shy." Chen Wentian made up a lame lie.
Jasmine poked him, "What are you two talking about? Chen Wentian, where is little fox, you told me I could see him again!"
"Who is little fox, did you lie to me?"
Jasmine became suspicious, "Chen Wentian, what's your relationship with this evil woman? Did you sleep with her? If you did, I'll never talk to you again!"
These two damn women! Chen Wentian felt like he was going crazy. They were simply too much. They didn't care about his status and took no crap from him; it was like he had reverted to his younger days where girls would verbally abuse him for any slight misdeed.
"Quiet!" Chen Wentian yelled in frustration and was finally rewarded with some silence. "Mei Qiaofeng, we'll go our separate ways soon. I grabbed a lot of loot from the Lion Lord's castle, do you want any?"
She looked surprised at his offer but shook her head, "It would only remind me of that place and horrible memories, you keep it…"
Jasmine cut in, "Liar, you looted every inch of Eagle castle, I saw you!"
"You little bitch!"
Chen Wentian had to listen to them yell at each other for several more minutes before they calmed down enough to negotiate. Jasmine's problem was that a lot of treasures in both castles belonged to the Snake Lord previously and she felt it belonged to her. In the end, after a lot of back and forth, Mei Qiaofeng coughed up one third of her loot in pills, herbs, and items while Chen Wentian also promised one third of his loot. Mei Qiaofeng kept the gold and spiritual crystals since she had to pay for her expensive 'habits'.
After the four of them, Wu Qianyu included, had flown westward deep into human territory, they decided to stop and go their separate ways. Chen Wentian exchanged message talismans with Mei Qiaofeng and watched her fly off without another word.
He turned to Jasmine and saw that she looked a bit lost. "Jasmine, come with me, I'll treat you to dinner."
