Chapter 5202: Interception

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Original planet, in the western part of the Feather Continent.

Several powerful Grand Yan Immortals were kneeling on the soil under the riverbed, separated from the western region by a river.

The original planet’s soil was exceptionally sturdy, and they had only penetrated to a depth of about 10,000 feet underground. Due to the density of the soil, they hid beneath the earth, almost completely isolating their breath. Even top-notch Grand Yan Immortals passing above them wouldn’t detect their presence. Of course, nobody else could either.

In the pitch-dark and silent soil, a burly giant slowly opened his eyes.

“Old Nine is almost here, let’s get ready to move!” the burly man secretly transmitted his voice.

They had been waiting here for several days for this moment.

“Heh, if things go smoothly this time, my achievements will reach a million!” an elderly man with triangular eyes exclaimed joyfully.

They couldn’t make a living in the western region anymore, so they came to the peripheral riverbed to intercept isolated Grand Yan Immortals. However, this lifestyle wasn’t sustainable. The area was vast, and there was a great risk involved; they might not encounter anyone for an entire year if luck was against them.

After discussing among themselves, they decided to have Old Nine replace a Perfected Nine Revolutions Grand Yan Immortal named ‘Ren Yinjiu’ whom they had confined.

Using this inexperienced person’s identity, they planned to deceive some Grand Yan Immortals who had never been to the Feather Continent, near the mountains.

Surprisingly, this method worked. In the past, they risked their lives and barely achieved anything in a year. Now, in just a couple of months, they had intercepted several Grand Yan Immortals.

Although these Grand Yan Immortals who had never been to the Feather Continent had few achievement points on their records, there were just so many of them!

And it was very safe; even the powerful Ren Yinjiu wouldn’t bring trouble to them.

“Be alert, someone’s coming!” A burly man shouted, and the crowd emerged from the earth!

Jian Wushuang and his companions hadn’t reacted yet when a colossal black dragon charged out towards them.

“Not good, retreat!” Ren Yinjiu shouted, his heart rejoicing, while urging everyone to fall back.

But as they retreated, they realized that an even fiercer black dragon attacked

from behind. Ren Yinjiu and the other three figures in black instantly changedtheir positions, swiftly dodging the assault.

Jian Wushuang and his group had a tougher time. To conceal his strength, Jian Wushuang leaped forward, directly facing the oncoming black dragon. The dragon possessed the destructive power of a top-level Grand Yan Immortal, but to Jian Wushuang, it felt as inconsequential as a tickle.

Now equipped with his innate treasure battle armor, the pitch-black beastly armor covered his entire body the moment the black dragon appeared. After layers of weakening, the attack Jian Wushuang endured was akin to an ant’s nibble.

The remaining few, especially the black-robed elder, matched Ren Yinjiu’s expectations. Remarkably powerful, he shattered the black dragon with a single palm, swiftly evading the attack from behind, displaying the calmness of a true powerhouse.

Kuishan’s strength was average among the top-level experts. Although he appeared somewhat distressed facing the black dragon, fortunately, the black-robed elder had crushed the frontal assault of the black dragon. Kuishan managed to narrowly avoid the attack from behind, quickly moving closer to the black-robed elder, finally catching his breath.

The last person had exceptionally bad luck, torn apart by the black dragon, instantly perishing.

In the group of eight, four were allies. As per their original plan, they intended to kill at least two in this attack and let Ren Yinjiu and the others eliminate the remaining two to cover their tracks.

However, now only one person had died, and an unexpectedly powerful black-robed elder had appeared, forcing them to revise their strategy.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

The ambushers revealed themselves, and Jian Wushuang and his companions huddled together.

Ren Yinjiu’s expression shifted, glancing back at his people and then at the attackers. He wanted to convey a message, but with so many eyes on him, he didn’t dare to use voice transmission to alert his allies.

“Ren Yinjiu, what path did you lead us on?” Kuishan complained, “We went in circles for so long and still managed to run into trouble!”

Jian Wushuang furrowed his brow slightly and snorted, “So afraid of death, yet you venture into the Feather Continent. If you want safety, stay hidden in the mountains and don’t embarrass yourself here.”

With that, he moved closer to Ren Yinjiu. Kuishan, who had just been listed by the black-robed old man, dared to question Ren Yinjiu face to face. However, he had good insight. If he had tried to please Ren Yinjiu from the beginning, he would never know how he died.

Earlier, Jian Wushuang had been able to withstand a black dragon. Kuishan also noticed Jian Wushuang’s extraordinary strength, not weaker than his own.

Since they were now on the same boat, it wasn’t the time for arguments. He frowned and stood behind the black-robed old man without saying much.

As the leader, Ren Yinjiu had to say something. They hadn’t anticipated the sudden appearance of a powerful person in their group, which disrupted their plans. If it were just one person, they wouldn’t need to worry. The black-robed old man’s strength surpassed theirs. If it were just one person, they could surround and possibly injure him, even if it meant some casualties. But now, there were Jian Wushuang and Kuishan, both formidable. If they turned hostile, these three could band together, and if they wanted to kill them, they might have to sacrifice several of their own.

“Brother Kuishan, I was indeed abrupt this time, but there are always risks when we do things! Moreover, didn’t we come to the Feather Continent for this?” Ren Yinjiu said, his face trembling.

The three Grand Yan Immortals with him also stepped forward to console, and that stabilized the situation. It prevented them from fighting amongst themselves before the attackers even made a move.

“Let’s forget it for now. Let’s deal with the problem in front of us!” The strongest one, the black-robed old man, stared coldly at the Grand Yan Immortals who had come to kill them, especially when he saw the burly man among them, a hint of fear shone in his eyes.

He could sense the opponent’s strength; it wasn’t weak and had almost reached the peak-level Grand Yan Immortal. Compared to his own strength, there wasn’t much difference. However, judging from the opponent’s posture, they were obviously prepared. He had to be cautious; there might be a traitor within their group.

Ren Yinjiu didn’t dare to look at the black-robed old man too much; their strengths didn’t match up. Killing him would be too easy for the likes of the black-robed old man.

Among the top Grand Yan Immortals, the hierarchy was clear. They might be slightly stronger than the ordinary ones, but facing a soon-to-be peak-level powerhouse, the power gap was enormous.

“Everyone, we’ve paid you the toll. Can you let us pass? We’re all leaving the mountains for the first time; we don’t have many achievement points under our belts,” Ren Yinjiu said, conceding.

At this point, if he insisted on fighting, it would be too obvious. He could only let the other party make things difficult; he couldn’t afford to provoke them into battle.

As for the toll, it naturally referred to the unfortunate Grand Yan Immortal who had been killed. Jian Wushuang secretly sighed, thinking it was a pity..
