Chapter 1128: Two Fourth Level Martial Monarch Stages
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Duan Ling Tian was familiar with the swift boat since he inherited the Rebirth Martial Emperor’s memory of both lives.
However, it was the first time for Feng Tian Wu and Xiong Quan to witness it, so they were naturally stunned.
Whoosh!
With his eyes shut, Duan Ling Tian seemed to be conserving his energy, but he was actually cultivating the Ninth Form of the Nine Dragons War Sovereign Technique in the Snake Dragon Form. He ignored the whistling that was coming closer and closer to them.
As Feng Tian Wu and Xiong Quan waited, a little black dot that was far away was continuously enlarging...
Eventually, they saw an object that looked like a boat. "Is that the swift boat?" Shock filled Xiong Quan’s eyes as he watched the boat-like object that was coming closer. "It seems to be nothing very different from a typical boat... Of course, it’s just the appearance that looks the same. It’s much bigger than a regular boat."
Whoosh!
Soon, the swift boat arrived at Ruo Shui Riverside and revealed itself entirely before everyone who was waiting.
Xiong Quan and Feng Tian Wu noticed that the swift boat was made of some unique unknown material. Although they did not touch it, just by looking at it, they could tell that the material was far from ordinary.
Meanwhile, there was a mix of empty triplet and twin seats on the swift boat.
"Do the people from the Yin Yang Sect control the swift boat?" Very soon, Xiong Quan snapped back to his senses and studied the two persons who each stood at the front and the back of the swift boat.
The both of them were old men who unintentionally gave Xiong Quan a terrifying sense of threat just by standing there.
"They are both powerhouses!" The thought flashed in Xiong Quan’s mind immediately.
He got an instinct that the two persons from Yin Yang Sect possessed more powerful ability than him.
’Whoosh! Whoosh!’
In the next second, two silhouettes flew out of the crowd and landed near the swift boat. They gathered with the two old men who had just gotten off the swift boat and bowed to them respectfully.
"Elders!" After bowing, the two men whispered with the two old men.
"Are the two of them from the Yin Yang Sect? They were just standing next to me earlier."
"I couldn’t tell that they’re from the Yin Yang Sect."
...
At that moment, many of them who were waiting by Ruo Shui Riverside were shocked.
After hearing what the two Yin Yang Sect disciples whispered into their ears, the two Elders’ faces turned somber without anybody noticing.
At the same time, they had their eyes fixed on the purple silhouette that was standing not far away.
"So, he destroyed the Gold-Devouring Organization and took the massive amount of Origin Stones that should be ours?" One of the old men mumbled softly as a cold gleam flashed in his eyes.
"This isn’t the place to teach him a lesson... Otherwise, the rest will find out that we Yin Yang Sect allowed the Gold-Devouring Organization to scam them. That would definitely give us a bad reputation!" The other old man said.
"Let’s see what we’re going to do about him when we arrive at the Inner Land and get back to the Yin Yang Sect," the first Elder said. "When we get to the Yin Yang Sect, we’re going to get him to spit out all of the Origin Stones that he took from us no matter how many there are!"
"Don’t be reckless! He must have an an extraordinary identity... Even his sidekick’s a Martial Monarch," the latter exclaimed.
Naturally, the person to whom the two old men were referring was Duan Ling Tian. Including Feng Tian Wu and Xiong Quan who were next to him, all three of them were the old men’s targets.
"Elders... Elder Huang has yet to return until now. I’m guessing they’ve killed him," the Yin Yang Sect disciple standing aside said while keeping his voice low.
"It’s a win-win situation if he returns what belongs to the Yin Yang Sect... How dare he kill our Yin Yang Sect Elder? He won’t be leaving the sect when he gets there!" The two Yin Yang Sect Elders looked into each other’s eyes. Both of them had ferocious gleams that sparkled in their eyes like they were going to devour anyone who came near them.
"Miss Tian Wu, did you notice that the two old fellas glance at us every now and then?" Xiong Quan asked Feng Tian Wu after watching the two Yin Yang Sect old men with fear.
"They’re here with ill intentions." Feng Tian Wu, whose face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, moved her beautiful lips. She was stingy with her words.
"Everybody, listen. The swift boat will depart an hour later. Please purchase your boarding token from the two of them," one of the Yin Yang Sect Elders soon shouted while pointing at the two Yin Yang Sect disciples.
As soon as he spoke, an expected uproar broke out.
"So, the both of them from the Yin Yang Sect were just next to me when I bought the fake boarding token... Why didn’t they tell us? I lost twenty Origin Stones for nothing!" Many of them yelled furiously.
Since nobody had warned them, they were scammed by the people from Gold-Devouring Organization when they just arrived. Each and every one of them spent twenty Origin Stones each to purchase the fake boarding tokens.
Initially, after finding out they were scammed, considering the Gold-Devouring Organization’s power, neither did they dare to say anything nor warn the people who came later. However, now that they found out that the two Yin Yang Sect disciples had been standing among them and did not warn them, they were enraged.
"If the Yin Yang Sect disciples were to take charge of this, would the people from Gold-Devouring Organization have dared to rob us in broad daylight?"
"That’s right! Those were twenty Origin Stones. It’s not a small figure."
...
Many of them whispered to each other and discussed among themselves while glaring at the four people from Yin Yang Sect in rage.
"Hmph!" A scoff suppressed the buzz.
One of the Yin Yang Sect Elders had taken a step forward and swept through the crowd with his Martial Monarch powerhouse’s aura. The enraged mob was a little suffocated by the aura, let alone continue to speak to each other.
"Who is there to blame when all of you tried to be a cheapskate and save on fewer Origin Stones? Our Yin Yang Sect’s swift boat charges thirty Origin Stones per person. We’ve stated the price since the beginning, and we treat everyone the same. Don’t tell me you’ve never heard of that before coming here!" The Yin Yang Sect Elder scoffed.
The bunch of people who were scammed became speechless all of a sudden after hearing what the Elder said.
It was the truth.
Although it was the first time for many of them to go to the Ruo Shui Riverside and take the swift boat for the first time, they had heard about the fee to board the swift boat beforehand.
It was clear that it cost thirty Origin Stones per person!
However, they realized that there were people selling boarding tokens costing only twenty Origin Stones when they arrived.
Furthermore, the boarding tokens looked authentic, and nobody had warned them about the scam.
They were convinced at that moment and were fleeced as they thought they could save ten Origin Stones on the boarding token.
"Even if we’re cheapskates who ended up being scammed, the Yin Yang Sect shouldn’t allow them to do that! The Yin Yang Sect disciples were here all along, but why didn’t they warn us? How could they just watch us being scammed?" Very soon, someone piped up in rage.
"Warn all of you?" The other Yin Yang Sect Elder glanced at that person coldly. "How would you get scammed if you’re not cheap? Would they have forced you if you rejected them?"
"Don’t tell me that all of you have been scammed! Are those who didn’t get scammed and didn’t purchase fake boarding tokens hurt?"
"Do you know why they aren’t hurt? It’s because of us, the Yin Yang Sect! If not for our power, would they have been able to live? All you’re losing are twenty Origin Stones. Are you losing your life because of this?" The Yin Yang Sect Elder spoke clearly, rendering the people speechless.
It seemed to be the truth.
At that moment, someone went up to the two Yin Yang Sect disciples to purchase boarding token from them obediently. Subsequently, more and more people followed.
"So, this is the Yin Yang Sect! You obviously have it loose with Gold-Devouring Organization and how dare you say it like you’re the righteous one?" After some time, Duan Ling Tian opened his eyes and took a glance at the four Yin Yang Sect members. He was grinning widely.
"Seems like these two old fellas found out about us destroying the Gold-Devouring Organization." Duan Ling Tian also noticed that there was a cold gleam in their eyes when the two Yin Yang Sect Elders looked at them. However, they did not attack before the crowd.
"They’re still tolerating it?" Duan Ling Tian was shocked.
Actually, Tian Wu had killed the person who followed them to the Gold-Devouring Organization’s lair. He did not have the chance to tell the others in the Yin Yang Sect about Duan Ling Tian’s ability.
The only thing that the stalker managed to do was to send out the information of them destroying the Gold-Devouring Organization through the communication jade chip.
Therefore, the four of them from Yin Yang Sect standing before them had no idea what Duan Ling Tian’s ability was. Their fear of him was not the reason why they did not attack.
The only thing that they could do now was to tolerate.
"Perhaps it’s inconvenient for them to attack when there are so many people... After all, they would only prove that they were working with the Gold-Devouring Organization intentionally as soon as they make a move." It was not difficult for Duan Ling Tian to figure that out.
"Xiong Quan, go and purchase three boarding tokens." Duan Ling Tian looked at Xiong Quan and then lifted his arm. A Spatial Ring appeared in his hand. After removing the ownership, he tossed the ring at Xiong Quan. "I’ve stored 1,000 Origin Stones in there."
"Yes, Young Master," Xiong Quan responded respectfully and purchased the boarding tokens from the two Yin Yang Sect disciples.
Duan Ling Tian and Feng Tian Wu stood next to each other and looked at the four of them from the Yin Yang Sect far away. "Two Fourth Level Martial Monarch Stages... With their cultivation base, they should be Elders in the Yin Yang Sect," Duan Ling Tian thought to himself.
"I’ve seen the other two disciples before. They were among the crowd, but they were good at disguising themselves and didn’t give their identity away. They should be Yin Yang Sect disciples who’ve received the communication jade chip."
"They’re both Ninth Level Void Transformation martial artists... If I’m not mistaken, they should be on the Peak Level Void Stage," Duan Ling Tian speculated.
In the second-rate and third-rate forces on Cloud Continent, people on the Peak Level Void Stage were extraordinary people with exceptional positions.
Especially in the third-rate forces, people on the Peak Level Void Stage were leaders.
However, in first-rate forces, a Peak Level Void Stage martial artist would only be considered an outstanding disciple as there were many Martial Monarch powerhouses in such forces.
They would not possess any position that mattered if they had yet to achieve Martial Monarch Stage.
In a short while, Xiong Quan came back after purchasing three boarding tokens. He took a good look at them and realized that they were not much different from the fake boarding tokens.
