Urban Invincible Overlord-Chapter 1262 - 1259: Detainment and Spoils of War

Among the teams from the Southern Domain participating in the market trade, there were two Spirit Ships, and in addition, there were as many as eight Spirit Boats.

These now naturally all became the spoils of the Earth Cultivators.

Gan Qian and Linglong left on a Spirit Boat.

The people of White Jade City began to clean the battlefield.

Among the disciples from the Southern Domain who came for the market trade, aside from those from the Lingxiao Sect, two hundred and fifty-eight were killed, eight were captured, and only one was released by Yang Fei to report back.

From the two hundred and fifty-eight who died in battle and the eight captured, there were a total of two hundred and sixty-six storage bags.

The majority of these storage bags were filled with items from the Cultivation World for the market trade. Although they weren’t particularly precious materials, they were mostly useful fundamental resources for the current situation of the Earth Cultivation World.

Moreover, inside were many special materials needed for alchemy and artifact refining obtained by the Southern Domain cultivators, along with over two hundred low-rank talismans, spiritual artifacts, and even magic artifacts and treasures.

There were quite a few Spirit Stones, but compared to the Spirit Stone resources of White Jade City on Earth, these looted Spirit Stones seemed particularly meager.

In the end, after a preliminary estimate, the value of these spoils even in the Southern Domain Cultivation World exceeded two hundred thousand top-grade Spirit Stones.

On Earth, at a premium, that’s equivalent to a million top-grade Spirit Stones.

Helian Zhan couldn’t help but exclaim, "No wonder the friends from the Lingxiao Sect mentioned that in the Cultivation World, there are many evil cultivators. Tsk tsk, these Southern Domain cultivators, though not strong, carried such valuable goods. If we were to intercept some powerful cultivators, the gain would be even greater."

Ouyang He and Wang Chunyang silently nodded, their eyes flickering with intense light.

Indeed, since ancient times, whether in the secular or the Cultivation World, looting has always been the quickest way to get rich.

Yang Fei just sneered and said, "This Flame Moon Sect, Great Dao Sect, and the high ranks of the three Cultivation Worlds are really ruthless. To throw us off the scent, they sent uninformed disciples for the market trade, and the goods they brought were even richer than the last two times."

The people of Earth nodded, realizing this fact too.

Li Yue sighed, his expression complex, and said, "Too bad they didn’t anticipate we’ve established three teleportation arrays on Earth. As soon as their people appeared on Penglai Immortal Mountain, we discovered them."

Du Hui also nodded and said, "Yes, there was nothing wrong with the people they sent to the market trade, and those people didn’t know any intentions of their sect’s upper echelons. Thus, we peacefully opened the market with them, while their Foundation Establishment Stage team quietly destroyed Penglai Immortal Mountain’s barrier seal."

Yun Zong immediately said, "So, in this matter, our Lingxiao Sect had no involvement; otherwise, they certainly would have known of the teleportation array’s existence."

Upon these words, Yan Wei immediately nodded and said, "Senior Brother Yun Zong is right, Fellow Yang, fellow Earth Cultivators, this has nothing to do with our Lingxiao Sect, and we were unaware. We didn’t expect those few sects to make such a deranged decision. However, when we arrived, the elders guarding the teleportation channel suspected their Foundation Establishment team coming to Earth and reported to the Sect Leader. Our Lingxiao Sect will definitely investigate this matter and give you a satisfactory explanation."

After the previous slaughter, the anger in the hearts of the Earth cultivators had been vented, and at this moment, they all calmed down.

The Lingxiao Sect members were right.

If the Lingxiao Sect knew about this and teamed up with other sects, the establishment of three teleportation arrays on Earth would not have been hidden from the Flame Moon Sect, the Great Dao Sect, and other forces.

Not to mention that, no matter how one looked at it, the Lingxiao Sect had no reason to openly break with the Earth Cultivation World.

Currently, the Lingxiao Sect and Earth have the closest and most amicable relations, and Genetic Liquid Medicine is far too valuable to the Lingxiao Sect. The Lingxiao Sect could not possibly ruin the relationship now and lose the supply of Genetic Liquid Medicine.

Moreover, just a moment ago, Hai Mo, Yan Wei, and the other Lingxiao Sect members participated in the massacre of cultivators from the other five families.

Such matters cannot be faked, and the disciples from the other five families wouldn’t let the Lingxiao Sect kill their kin without seeking retribution.

Considering all factors, it’s clear these five Southern Domain powers acted against Earth behind the Lingxiao Sect’s back.

Yang Fei glanced at Hai Mo and Yan Wei, then said calmly, "Regardless of whether the Lingxiao Sect knew or not, Gan Qian and Linglong have gone back to gather information. You can stay here for now and wait for news."

Yan Wei and the other Lingxiao Sect disciples’ faces changed slightly.

Although they had anticipated being detained here, hearing the result was still hard and filled them with helplessness and unwillingness.

If Earth could not reconcile with the Southern Domain from now on, they would be stuck here forever and might soon be executed by the Earth cultivators.

"Hand over your belongings," Wang Chunyang said, looking at the Lingxiao Sect people.

Hai Mo, Yan Wei, and the other Lingxiao Sect members’ expressions changed again, showing anger and unwillingness as they glared at Wang Chunyang.

Wang Chunyang’s face was cold, sneering, "Since your Lingxiao Sect is innocent, then stay here peacefully and await Gan Qian and Linglong’s return. If the Lingxiao Sect truly did not know, and relations with Earth remain good, we will return your belongings intact."

Hai Mo angrily said, "Don’t push us too far. Our Lingxiao Sect disciples here are few in number, with even fewer experts, posing no threat to you. Why must you go to such extremes?"

Wang Chunyang said, "The situation will be extremely tense for Earth in the future, and we cannot afford to be distracted by guarding against you alien races."

Helian Zhan also nodded, "Brother Wang is right, Yang Fei, these Lingxiao Sect people being detained here is a hassle, and caution is the best course."

Yang Fei took a glance at Wang Chunyang and Helian Zhan, nodded, and said to Hai Mo and Yan Wei, "You’ll have to endure for now. Blame your Southern Domain cultivators for being ambitious and destroying this hard-earned peace."

Hai Mo clenched his fists.

Li Yue quickly advised, "Hai Mo, Yan Wei, fellow junior disciples, do not be rash. Trust that the sect will give a satisfactory explanation. For now, endure a bit longer."

Yun Zong, Du Hui, and Lu Chen also offered words of persuasion.

Hai Mo and Yan Wei, as Second Generation Immortals of the Lingxiao Sect, had never suffered such humiliation, but circumstances were against them; under the eaves, they had to lower their heads.

They knew that if they pushed back too hard, these Earth cultivators, already bloody-eyed, wouldn’t hesitate to take a few dozen more Lingxiao Sect lives.

Thus, they all handed over their storage bags, presenting their magic swords, spiritual artifacts, magic treasures, and other treasure.

Meanwhile, in the Southern Domain, in the area connecting to Earth’s teleportation channel, soon after the team for the third market trade went to Earth, Lingxiao Sect Master Jiang Yao personally arrived with Jiang Jun and Hai Lingfeng, two Nascent Soul Great Powers from the Lingxiao Sect.

The several Core Formation Masters waiting here immediately opened their eyes.

Li Yang and Ying Wujiu exchanged a glance, their expressions dignified as they rose to greet them.
