Cultivation Simulator: Shocking the Academy-Chapter 537 - 390: Immortal Magical Treasure

Ouyang Qian and Luo Chen exchanged a glance, both feeling an ominous premonition surge within. It seemed that this sudden encounter was not coincidental, but a trap meticulously set by someone. Although they were reluctant to easily give up the treasures they had worked hard to obtain, facing the white-clothed boy with unfathomable strength and his followers, they knew they had no other choice.

"Alright, we’ll hand over the toll," Ouyang Qian said in a deep voice, gesturing to Luo Chen to hand over the treasures on him. She knew this was not the time to act strong; only by preserving their strength could they face the unknown challenges ahead. This sudden encounter also made them more cautious of every trap and challenge on their future path.

The white-clothed boy obviously hadn’t expected that his long-anticipated robbery attempt would meet with such strong opposition. He originally just wanted to scare these seemingly wealthy passersby for some quick gains, but now it seemed things were spiraling out of his control.

Facing Ouyang Qian’s questioning and anger, he panicked for a moment, but remembering the preparations he made for this robbery, he forced himself to stand straight with a facade of calmness.

"I, I am the overlord of this area. If you want to pass safely, you must hand over your treasures," the white-clothed boy said, gritting his teeth, but his voice clearly lacked confidence and even trembled a bit.

Ouyang Qian sneered, not frightened by such a petty trick. She immediately saw through the white-clothed boy’s bluff, feeling even more irritated.

"Overlord? Just based on you?" Ouyang Qian’s tone was full of disdain. "Since you claim to be the overlord here, you should know who we are, right? We just came down from Celestial Battle Mountain."

The white-clothed boy was taken aback upon hearing this. He had indeed heard the renown of Celestial Battle Mountain and knew he might have kicked an iron plate. Yet, he wasn’t willing to give up just like that, having already invested so much into this robbery attempt.

"I-I don’t care who you are. To pass here, you must leave a passage fee," the white-clothed boy said, forcing the words out through his teeth.

Luo Chen glanced at the sky, feeling a bit anxious. He knew that people from Celestial Battle Mountain could chase after them at any moment; they couldn’t afford to waste much time here. So, he stepped forward, trying to negotiate with the white-clothed boy.

"Brother, we truly came from Celestial Battle Mountain, but not in the way you think. We just borrowed some items and didn’t harm anyone. How about this, we’ll give you some treasures and you let us leave?" Luo Chen tried his best to sound sincere.

However, the white-clothed boy was not appeased and shook his head, saying, "No, I must get what I want."

Seeing that negotiations failed, Ouyang Qian’s patience was wearing thin. She took a deep breath, a hint of killing intent flashing in her eyes. Since this so-called overlord refused to compromise, he couldn’t blame her for being ruthless.

At this moment, the white-clothed boy suddenly chanted a spell, and Xiaobai began to roll on the ground in pain, clearly under some form of control. Ouyang Qian was furious at the sight, not expecting the white-clothed boy to have such a method.

"Who exactly are you? Release Xiaobai immediately!" Ouyang Qian shouted angrily.

The white-clothed boy laughed triumphantly, "Haha, now you see how powerful I am? Want me to release it? Sure, as long as you hand over all your treasures."

Luo Chen was disheartened at the sight, realizing this white-clothed boy was not a common robber. Being able to control a Spirit Beast like Xiaobai, he clearly had some unknown means. Moreover, with night approaching, they couldn’t delay any longer.

So he stepped forward again to negotiate: "Brother, please, for the sake of our being newcomers, spare us. We are willing to hand over part of our treasures to show our sincerity." Saying this, he took out a Magical Treasure sparkling with spiritual light from his bosom and handed it over, "This is a Magical Treasure we obtained from Celestial Battle Mountain, please accept it graciously."

However, the white-clothed boy didn’t even look at the Magical Treasure and directly refused Luo Chen’s offer: "Not enough, not enough! I want all your treasures!" His tone became increasingly firm, as if he had completely taken the upper hand, "And you also have to tell me who you are exactly and why you came down from Celestial Battle Mountain?" Clearly, he was very interested in the identities of the two.

Seeing that negotiations had failed, Ouyang Qian became increasingly irritated. She wasted no more words and directly summoned her Spiritual Artifact—a flying sword that shimmered with a cold light! "Since you refuse to give in, don’t blame me for being unkind!" With that, she wielded the flying sword towards the white-clothed boy!
