Chapter 1741: Resolution

The bandits chose this moment to attack as it was the best timing.

Su Yuanyuan knew there were still a few months left of the journey, having listened to their casual chat and learned the route. Now she was calculating in her mind that it would be great if the bandits could kill Hong Yuan.

Such wait and watch tactics, one shouldn’t rush.

Hong Yuan was persistently holding on now, as the spaceship was shaking too much and he knew he couldn’t shake these people off.

There was still immortal power, and only one battle was needed, with so many people on the spaceship. Victory wasn’t impossible, and if it didn’t work, he could still leave, and they wouldn’t be able to stop him.

The spaceship stopped, "Everyone get off."

Now wasn’t the time for indecision, their group was together.

Hong Yuan stepped into the air, facing the three of them.

"Fellow Daoist, what does this mean?"

"Hehe, it doesn’t mean much, just that we’ve been a bit short-handed lately."

Su Yuanyuan laughed inwardly. Do all robberies sound like this?

"Don’t you know this spaceship belongs to the Northern Immortal Emperor?"

"Hehe, to us brothers, it’s all the same, no one can escape."

"It seems there’s no negotiating face."

"Hong Yuan, stop talking nonsense. We just want your Storage Ring and Storage Bag."

Everyone understood now; it was aimed at this Daluo Golden Immortal, although it wasn’t visible what cultivation level the three robbers were, they were probably Daluo Golden Immortals too?

Hearing that it was just the Storage Ring from this person, the rest breathed a sigh of relief. People are like this, not necessarily selfish.

The group just stood by watching. Su Yuanyuan quickly spoke about Hong Yuan’s thoughts. This time Tan Shaoting really wanted to kill.

The conversation was far from pleasant, and the three robbers had no martial virtue, attacking together.

Hong Yuan was surrounded; he had consumed too much immortal power passing through Black Wind Valley earlier, one-on-one might be possible, but one-on-three had no chance of winning.

Many people had already quietly left, more and more. In the end, only their group of twelve remained.

They watched from behind.

"This Hong Yuan still has some skills," Qi Hao said.

"I think he’s about to run," Su Yuanyuan said.

"Can he run?" Tan Shaoting’s voice was icy. Having his wife on someone’s mind was absolutely intolerable.

And indeed, Su Yuanyuan guessed right. Hong Yuan took out something, but in an instant was covered, making escape impossible.

Hong Yuan knew he was done for, looking at the group behind him, they watched calmly.

Even so, he absolutely couldn’t let these three succeed.

Their power was nothing the twelve bystanders dared to consider lightly.

He knew even if they dodged, it wouldn’t work since the people on the spaceship hadn’t gone far. By then, even these twelve wouldn’t have it easy.

This thought was just a momentary thing. He stopped struggling.

"Three fellow Daoists, I’ll give the Storage Ring."

"If you were so sensible from the start, this wouldn’t have happened, would it?"

Even though they said this, the three of them didn’t let their guard down.

As Hong Yuan handed over the Storage Ring and threw it to them, it suddenly exploded in their grasp. It wasn’t a Storage Ring at all; it was Hong Yuan’s final card.

It was just a moment, only hearing the rumbling explosion.

Su Yuanyuan’s speed was extremely fast, their group was already enveloped by the Array. Although the Array Plate shattered, it blocked a lot of the impact for them. Everyone had their own Protective Shield, so they were not injured.

Su Yuanyuan’s Divine Sense was constantly monitoring the outside. That location now couldn’t be seen clearly, her Divine Sense couldn’t probe in.

No matter what, they’d have to wait for the outcome.

The explosions continued. They watched from the side, waiting for another quarter hour before things calmed down.

The group approached, seeing the three robbers and Hong Yuan all critically injured.

Tan Shaoting wanted to go over and kill Hong Yuan but was stopped by Su Yuanyuan; they withdrew, since Hong Yuan was connected to the Northern Immortal Emperor. They were afraid of any Divine Sense over them, lest they become the hunted.

Of the three robbers, one slightly less injured stood up and finished off Hong Yuan.

This time, Su Yuanyuan was wrong, there was no Divine Sense protection.

Looking back at the other two accomplices, they were already dead.

"Let’s leave, immediately."

The group quickly left, knowing someone would surely return for revenge.

With their current capability, they shouldn’t meddle in such matters.

After they left, indeed, a few people appeared, and more kept coming. Probably none who left truly left.

Su Yuanyuan and the others released the Flying Boat after some distance.

Knowing the direction, they kept moving. Actually, they all breathed a sigh of relief, having a Daluo Golden Immortal on their mind wasn’t a good thing.

Having shaken that off, they understood how brutal the Immortal World truly was.

"Let’s speed up to shake off those people."

They took turns piloting the Flying Boat, making the speed indeed much faster. Encountering mountains and great rivers along the way, they didn’t stop.

Knowing the group behind would surely have disputes, causing battles, it wasn’t worth the trouble for a few items.

They traveled into more desolate lands, according to the map nearing the border of two regions.

"Why is the border so barren?" Qi Wen asked.

"Because all borders were once battlefields."

"So harsh?"

"Yes."

The group continued forward, "Over the mountains ahead should be the Southern Immortal Emperor’s territory."

"Xiao Ya, is it more dangerous there?"

"It is certainly dangerous. But there are secret realms there, so there will be more people."

"More people, more conflicts."

"Everyone be careful."

They finally reached the mountain’s base, discovering a few cultivators, nearly all with Profound Immortal cultivation.

They mingled with the crowd over the mountain, initially going smoothly with no danger present; everyone was on guard against people.

All being Profound Immortals, they communicated using Divine Sense without issue.

"I’ve heard this place was extremely dangerous, didn’t the wife of the Southern Heavenly Emperor pass through and clear it up?"

"Indeed a good deed, bringing benefits to everyone. What was the danger before?"

"I’ve heard there was a particularly formidable demon beast here, but it’s hard to say how strong. Also, there were robbers, who knows what was truly the case? It’s just rumors, and there’s no high-level demon beast here."

"Master, Master, there’s an Immortal Crystal Vein."

"Where?"

"Just ahead to the west."

"It’s too many people to collect."

"Could we just miss it?"

"No."

Su Yuanyuan transmitted the location to Tan Shaoting, "I’ll go there, you all continue, I’ll find you again later."

"I’ll go with you. Let them continue."

In the end, everyone went together. No matter what, someone would surely watch them. One person or the whole group, it made no difference.
