Robbers!

Robbers!

Far away, furious and venomous roars echoed one after another.

Back at the scene, Ye Wushuang held countless Storage Rings in his palm. Inside were Spirit Medicines, Spirit Pills, Treasure Medicines, and Spiritual Talents—a considerable amount.

"Not a bad haul."

Ye Wushuang wiped his nose and put the Storage Rings away. Although he knew this wasn’t all of their treasures, easily obtaining so many resources was good enough.

If he had plundered everything from them, they would have likely fought to the death.

After putting the Storage Rings away, Ye Wushuang turned his head, only to see the others staring at him with strange expressions.

"What? Is there a problem?"

Ye Wushuang looked himself over before looking up to ask them.

They were speechless. He had just robbed so many people and was acting as if nothing had happened.

"Brother Ye, if we keep robbing people like this, won’t we make too many enemies?"

Yang Qing’er asked timidly.

It wasn’t just Yang Qing’er; the others were thinking the same thing.

Hearing this, Ye Wushuang just smiled and looked at Dii Qingxue.

Dii Qingxue’s beautiful eyes gazed at the distant crowd as she said flatly, "Inside the Ninth Pass, everyone is an enemy except for the disciples of our own sect."

Huh?

Upon hearing this, Meng Fanx and the others were stunned for a moment before quickly understanding. To enter the final Battle Platform in the Ninth Pass, they had to seize points.

And seizing points meant making enemies. Since they were going to make enemies anyway, why worry about how deep the hatred ran?

With Dii Qingxue’s explanation, Ye Wushuang didn’t say anything more and took out his Identity Token.

The Identity Token not only recorded points but also served as an excellent map, marking their current location.

The Identity Token showed that they were currently in the southeast.

"We are in the southeast. The gate to the Second Pass is in the center, so that’s our destination," Ye Wushuang said calmly. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"What if we don’t have enough points?" Ye Rou asked.

"Don’t worry about that. The road ahead won’t be quiet. Are you afraid we won’t be able to snatch enough points?" Ye Wushuang chuckled, then glanced at his Identity Token again.

On the Identity Token, the rankings of the top ten factions had changed quite a bit.

’Looks like those people are moving fast.’

Ye Wushuang thought to himself, then called out to the others, "Let’s get going."

After his call, Ye Wushuang led the way. Meng Fanx and the others followed behind with excited faces. Following Ye Wushuang would definitely be eventful.

This ruined continent, though weathered by time and broken, was immense, with no end in sight.

Ye Wushuang’s group traveled for a full day without reaching the center. Based on its size, the First Pass was even vaster than the Endless Wilderness—and this was only the First Pass.

’There are still eight more passes to go. I wonder how big they are all combined? It could probably rival the entire Grand Emperor Domain, right?’

’I heard the Sect Master say before that the Ninth Pass was created by the Barbarian God Race. They refined a floating, ruined continent from the Outer Heaven. Such methods are truly astounding.’

Ye Wushuang murmured to himself.

"These ruined continents are just fragments of worlds. They’re nothing special. The Outer Heaven is full of them. Once you break through to the Nirvana Realm and can traverse the void, you’ll be able to refine them yourself using Divine Techniques."

The Dragon Cat’s lazy voice sounded out.

Ye Wushuang was startled. He sent his Divine Sense inside and saw the Dragon Cat standing on the altar, glancing wistfully at the Dragon Blood Pool in the center.

Suddenly, a thought occurred to him. Ye Wushuang’s Divine Sense probed the Dragon Blood Pool and instantly discovered that half of it was gone. Combined with the Dragon Cat’s wistful gaze, he guessed what had happened.

Ye Wushuang stared at the Dragon Cat, his eyes narrowing. "You can enter the Dragon Blood Pool?"

"Kid, this is your territory. How could Lord Cat possibly get in? Don’t make baseless accusations, or Lord Cat will sue you for slander," the Dragon Cat said with feigned seriousness, its shifty eyes darting around.

Ye Wushuang sneered. "Then how come half of the Dragon Blood Pool is gone?"

"Half the Dragon Blood Pool is gone? How would Lord Cat know? It probably evaporated."

The Dragon Cat wore an expression that screamed ’Lord Cat knows nothing,’ refusing to admit it even under torture. ’Lord Cat requisitioned half of it, so what? You didn’t see anything anyway!’

Evaporated?

Ye Wushuang’s face darkened. This guy was too full of it. Half a pool of liquid evaporating in just a few days?

"Damn it all, kid, don’t get hung up on this. Isn’t there still half left? Find some time to refine it. You can charge toward the Great Success Treasure Body. Once you have that, even those at the Spiritual Spring Ninth Layer won’t be able to do anything to you."

"Besides, deep beneath these world fragments, there are many buried Earth Spirit Veins and even Earth Core Origins. If you find them, you can make huge breakthroughs in your Cultivation."

The Dragon Cat hurriedly changed the subject.

How could Ye Wushuang not know? He was already sure that this fellow was responsible for the change in the Dragon Blood Pool. He was just curious what method the Dragon Cat had used to get in.

This cat seemed like a glutton, but it had quite a few tricks up its sleeve.

Knowing this fellow wouldn’t tell him for free, Ye Wushuang didn’t press the matter. The fact that half the Dragon Blood Pool was left showed that the creature at least had some conscience.

Of course, Ye Wushuang had never heard of things like "Earth Spirit Veins" or "Earth Core Origins" before, and his interest was definitely piqued.

’If I can find these things, then my problem with cultivation resources will be solved?’

’I wonder if there are any in the First Pass?’

As if it knew what Ye Wushuang was thinking, the Dragon Cat immediately said, "Kid, don’t get your hopes up. There’s nothing like that here. The moment Lord Cat finds something, I’ll let you know."

Ye Wushuang asked, "You can find those things?"

The Dragon Cat cackled. "Good stuff? Of course Lord Cat can find it. Don’t you worry. As long as it’s here, Lord Cat will tell you immediately."

Ye Wushuang withdrew his Divine Sense from the Chaos Space and continued on his way.

After a day and a half, the ten of them were approaching the center.

During their journey, Ye Wushuang and his group encountered many other teams. The moment those teams stepped into the First Pass, they acted like hunters, pouncing on weaker groups.

Along the way, great battles could be seen everywhere, each one exceptionally fierce.

Ye Wushuang’s group of ten also ran into many teams that tried to target them, but they were all easily dealt with. After taking on dozens of teams, everyone had obtained over ten thousand points.

The ten of them had more than enough points combined to easily pass the First Pass.

Ye Wushuang’s group didn’t continue hunting and instead hurried toward the center.

BOOM!

Suddenly, a violent explosion erupted to the right of Ye Wushuang and his group.

SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

Chengg Tao immediately took two team members and rushed toward the explosion with practiced coordination. Not long after, he returned.

Chengg Tao was slightly out of breath as he reported, "Captain, about a hundred li to our right, several teams are ganging up on another team."

Ganging up?

Ye Wushuang’s eyes narrowed. He exchanged a look with Dii Qingxue, then shouted, "Let’s go take a look!"

With that, he charged off to the right, Meng Fanx and the others following excitedly behind him.

A short while later, the group arrived at a mountain ridge. In the sky far ahead, several teams were locked in combat. The shockwaves from the battle had nearly flattened the countless hills below.

"It’s that team from Yunhuang Hall! They’re being besieged!" Meng Fanx recognized the team being attacked; it was the same Yunhuang Hall group they had seen before.

At this moment, they were in a sorry state. They were the ones being besieged, and their opponents consisted of four or five teams, none of which were weaker than them. They were being completely suppressed.

Ye Wushuang’s eyes narrowed slightly as he looked up, sweeping his Divine Sense over the other teams.

"It’s them!"

As he got a clear look at the five besieging teams, Ye Wushuang’s expression turned grim. A dense, murderous aura erupted from his body.
