Chapter 30: The Vile Bandits and the Yellow Sand Saint Emperor

The Northern Desert, as the northernmost land of the Tiansheng Continent, had an extrely harsh environnt, even worse than the Southern Wastes.

After entering the Northern Desert, everything within ten thousand li was desert. Only in a very few places could one see forests, and even those areas were not large. Water sources were the sa.

“Daddy, how do they survive if there’s no water?”

“Daddy, is the Northern Desert really nothing but sand?”

Along the way, Lu Qingyun kept asking Lu Xunxian one question after another.

By now, Lu Xunxian had already fully grasped the history of the Tiansheng Continent, so naturally he could answer such questions with ease.

Only after finally answering enough that his daughter had no more questions did Lu Xunxian walk to the side and look out into the distance.

All around them was utter desolation. There were barely even any traces of human habitation.

But that was normal enough. In the Northern Desert, once night fell, freezing winds howled, and once the sandstorms swept over the land, what traces of habitation could possibly remain?

But before Wangcai had flown much farther, a flash of cold light shot out from the distance. In the next instant, several strands of sword qi ca slashing toward them.

Lu Xunxian frowned slightly, and an invisible barrier ford in an instant, blocking the sword qi.

Chen Wangu, who reacted a little more slowly, also stood up at once, his expression turning ugly.

He had not expected that soone would actually dare attack them. Did they not know who he was?

Very soon, several cultivators dressed in worn yellow robes and wrapped up from head to toe appeared before them and blocked their path.

“Stop right there. Hand over everything you have on you.”

The mont Chen Wangu saw their attire, not only did he fail to grow angry, he actually laughed. He had already recognized who they were and let out a cold snort.

“The Vile Bandits? Where did you find the nerve to rob us?”

The Vile Bandits were an infamous gang in the Northern Desert that specialized in robbing cultivators traveling through the region.

However, because they were powerful and there were even rumors that a Saint Emperor backed them, no one had ever been able to do anything about them.

Only this ti, their luck was clearly terrible. They had actually chosen to rob Lu Xunxian and the others.

But evidently, they had not realized that.

The leader of the bandits was a powerful cultivator at the Peak of the Saint Monarch Realm, and it was precisely because he had seen that noble and wealthy bearing in Chen Wangu and the others, together with the Heaven-Devouring Tiger beneath their feet, that they had chosen to strike without hesitation.

Even if they had kicked an iron plate this ti, they were not worried in the slightest.

After all, the person backing them was the Lord of the Northern Desert.

“Hmph. Where did I find the nerve? Hurry up and hand over your belongings. Otherwise, we’ll kill the n and cripple the won before selling them off to the brothels!”

The leading cultivator looked toward Lu Qingyun. Although his face was wrapped up tightly, the lewd expression on it was still not hard to imagine.

Lu Qingyun was so frightened that she hid behind Lu Xunxian, too scared to look at the Vile Bandits.

As for Chen Wangu, after hearing what the Vile Bandits said, a trace of pity appeared on his face.

Pitiful fools. After spending this much ti with Lu Xunxian, he had already seen just how much Lu Xunxian cared about the two children.

If those bandits had stopped earlier, they might still have had a slim chance to live.

But now, they were dood without question, and they would die in an extrely painful way.

In the next instant, terrifying pressure erupted from Lu Xunxian’s body and suppressed the five Vile Bandits before him in the blink of an eye.

Feeling the pressure crushing down on him, the leader of the Vile Bandits shouted at Lu Xunxian, “Senior, please stop! Senior, show rcy! We didn’t know Senior was so powerful! We offended Senior by mistake!”

But Lu Xunxian paid him no attention. The pressure continued to rise, and very soon, Lu Xunxian had crushed three of the Vile Bandits to death with nothing but that pressure alone.

Those three were not very strong to begin with, only at the Saint King Realm.

As for the remaining two at the Saint Monarch Realm, under the unceasingly increasing pressure, cracking sounds began to co from their bodies as their bones started breaking one after another.

Expressions of extre agony appeared on their faces, and the leading bandit even tried to threaten him.

“Senior, show rcy! The one behind us is the Lord of the Northern Desert, the Yellow Sand Saint Emperor! We ask that Senior give the Yellow Sand Saint Emperor so face and spare us!”

Only then did Lu Xunxian finally speak.

“It would have been better if you hadn’t said that. But since you did, rest assured. This Yellow Sand Saint Emperor will be coming down soon enough to keep you company.”

With that, the terrifying pressure abruptly intensified and directly crushed the remaining two Vile Bandits into bloody paste. Even their Divine Souls were completely annihilated.

Lu Xiaoyao and Lu Qingyun, anwhile, had been well protected by Lu Xunxian and did not witness any of it.

At the side, Chen Wangu clicked his tongue in amazent.

“You really are ridiculously strong. To think you can kill a Peak Saint Monarch Realm cultivator through pressure alone.”

Although Chen Wangu was also at the Peak of the Saint Emperor Realm, even he could not kill a Peak Saint Monarch Realm cultivator by relying on nothing but pressure. The difficulty of doing so was no less than making soone explode with a single glance.

This made Chen Wangu see the gap between himself and Lu Xunxian even more clearly. Sure enough, one could not compare all people in the sa way.

Then, thinking of what the Vile Bandits had said before dying, a trace of surprise appeared on his face.

“I had only heard rumors before. I didn’t expect it to really be that fellow backing the Vile Bandits.”

“It doesn’t matter. He is only a Peak Saint Emperor. If he dares resist, then he can die.”

Hearing that, Chen Wangu was speechless.

No, brother, you’re already going there to kill him, and you still won’t allow him to resist?

But that was sothing he only dared complain about inwardly. As for saying it out loud, he was afraid Lu Xunxian might send him down to join them too.

“Then should we go find the Yellow Sand Saint Emperor first?”

“Let’s wait until after we finish playing in the Skyborne Primordial Wilds. We can deal with it when we leave.”

After saying that, Lu Xunxian gave Wangcai a look, and the group once more headed toward the Skyborne Primordial Wilds.

Not long after they left, the yellow sand below began to ripple, and a figure erged from beneath it, staring in terror in the direction Lu Xunxian’s group had gone.

“No, I have to report this to Master as quickly as possible.”

After saying that, he imdiately burrowed back beneath the sand and rushed toward the territory of the Yellow Sand Saint Emperor. He did not even dare collect the corpses of his five companions, afraid that Lu Xunxian and the others might return, discover him, and kill him.

“So you just let that one who slipped through the net go?”

From atop Wangcai’s back, Chen Wangu turned to look in the direction behind them and asked.

Lu Xunxian did not turn around. His tone remained utterly indifferent.

“There always needs to be soone to deliver the ssage. If he is going to die, then at least he should die knowing exactly why. I’m giving him ti. The rest depends on how he chooses to respond.”

How could a re Peak Saint King Realm cultivator possibly hide from Lu Xunxian and the others?

He had been discovered from the very beginning. Lu Xunxian had simply wanted to leave one person alive to report the matter to the Yellow Sand Saint Emperor, so he had not killed him on the spot.

But that man would not live much longer anyway. Just now, without making a sound, Lu Xunxian had already left a strand of power inside his body. Three days later, he would explode and die.

Even a Peak Saint Emperor would not be able to save him.

As for Chen Wangu, since Lu Xunxian had not explained it, he was even less likely to say anything himself.

Seeing this, Chen Wangu did not pursue the matter any further.

At that mont, Lu Qingyun ran excitedly over to Lu Xunxian, grabbed his hand, and pointed into the distance.

“Daddy, look!”

Following the direction Lu Qingyun was pointing, they saw an enormous gap in the world ahead of them. From afar, it looked as though it had been sliced away cleanly by so mighty expert.

And this was precisely the second stop for Lu Xunxian and the others.

The Skyborne Primordial Wilds.
