Chapter 2336 ln A Spot
"One…"
A warning of a tir rang out from the crimson-robed man, his grave voice resounding through the area as it caused Davis to clench his teeth in alarm.
This crimson-robed man had sohow followed them here, looking around as he obviously searched for them. However, it seed like he didn't know where they were, or he was acting and intended to look at them at the last second, having full rights to end their lives since they didn't voluntarily co out.
Davis was put in a spot.
If he was so heavenly genius, he would've shown himself, but the fact remained that he was sothing beyond a heavenly genius from what he had heard so far. If he revealed himself and disagreed with the strong's terms, he really wouldn't have a body to be buried.
It wouldn't go like the ti when he was captured by an Elder of the Tripartite Alliance when he was younger.
As for the others, there was no need to stay.
Davis's brows frowned heavily when his pupils moved, looking at Nadia.
At this point, she was absolutely still, seemingly not even blinking her big eyes. He knew because such big eyes would invoke a breeze when her eyelids closed and opened. The breeze around them also seed as though they didn't encounter an obstacle but whooshed smoothly like she was so cliff that parted a valley.
Nonetheless, seeing Nadia not move, he remained silent.
"Two…"
*Boom!~*
The crimson-robed man uttered when a resounding explosion occurred a few kiloters away from the bandit stronghold. Within the smoke arising from that particular mountain, a figure shot away, seemingly fleeing from the scene.
The golden-robed immortal who was just taking care of them also hurriedly chased after him.
However, the crimson-robed immortal raised his hand.
"The Haise Gravediggers Gang really have the nerve to set up their branch operations in my Southwest Fire Phoenix Prefecture. Although we're weaker here, I don't think most would have the gall to provoke us..."
Waving his hand, a wave of oppressive scarlet energy manifested.
Like a teor, a huge fireball appeared in the distance and crashed down on the fleeing Level Eight Immortal, causing him to instantly turn into ashes. There was literally no suspense, not even a scream; throes of death from that fleeing bandit leader as he was burned alive.
Davis and the others looked at this scene. Maybe at this mont, their life and death didn't have any suspense as well.
"Three…"
The crimson-robed man's shoulders drooped while his hand that was half-raised churned with a scarlet wave of energy.
"Alright. Don't bla
for being ruthless."
A wave of bright scarlet light glead over Davis and the others, the intense heat causing them to beco choked. In the face of the Fire Phoenix Immortal King's scarlet flas, they beca shaken, wanting to reveal themselves in order for the crimson-robed man to stop.
However, glancing at the unmoving Davis and Nadia, Evelynn and Eldia stayed their hands to the best of their ability, sweat beginning to form on their foreheads under imnse pressure.
*Boom!~*
A sea of scarlet fla abruptly descended, engulfing a vast piece of land. The scorching scarlet flas beca set ablaze. Whatever flora remained on this vast patch of land beca instantly incinerated. The mountains turned into ashes and the few curved lines of rivers dried up.
*Ssssh!~*
Even the burning bandit stronghold was caught up in it, completely having turned into ashes.
Within a second, the area was turned into a withered, scorched land. The mind-boggling thing was the level of the land seed to have decreased by tens of ters, aning an entire layer of the surface was burned by those scarlet flas just like that. It even targeted the underground as there were crevices of scorching flas still emitting fus, although it was unknown if that was lava rising from the dormant volcanoes.
"…"
At the altitude of twenty kiloters above the scorched surface, Davis and the others looked at the destruction that transpired. Their faces couldn't help but have an intense sense of relief written over them, Evelynn even breathing out heavily as she could no longer take the extre pressure.
Even Davis and Eldia appeared the sa.
Fortunately, Nadia had slowly raised her altitude when the golden-robed immortal beast arrived.
By the ti that the crimson-robed immortal king beast showed up and alerted them with a warning, it gave them ample ti to ascend kiloters despite moving slowly because Nadia's size was massive!
If people checked for soone hiding, they would usually check over blind spots and not the clear skies. Nadia had used that to her advantage without him even telling her. Her instincts as an Emperor-Tier Dark-Winged Twilight Wolf that was still in her were really terrifying when it ca to hiding, making her a genius in assassination skills.
At this mont, a golden-robed immortal rose from the sea of scarlet flas, seemingly uninjured, but he knew it was due to the leeway the crimson-robed man granted him.
"Boss, are they here?" Once he neared the crimson-robed man, he couldn't help but ask.
"I thought that way as my intuition made
believe there's sothing leading along this pathway. I can't wrap my finger around it as it's vague, almost as though it's just air flowing in a set pathway as they are carried by the wind, but in my years as a Law Enforcent Vice Elder of the Southwest Fire Phoenix Prefecture, I felt the need to check it out." The crimson-robed man shook his head as he continued.
"Guess I was mistaken. They must've used an Unobtrusive Spatial Talisman as we initially suspected."
"Yes." The golden-robed man respectfully answered.
In the skies, Davis and the others were still able to hear their conversation as the wind carried it to them, not to ntion that they were rather loud, not bothering to hide their voices.
Evidently, death remained almost impossible to sense when it was used for concealnt. It was like chasing a vacuum. Even if they could feel the disparity or disturbance, one wouldn't even be able to decide if that vacuum existed or not unless they checked it out for themselves, but with Nadia staying still or moving very slowly while being concealed, it beca clear that spotting them was not even possible for a Level One Immortal King Beast with sharp instincts.
The crimson-robed man then smiled, "Perhaps, my intuition was a trail leading to this bandit stronghold. They're worth around a few million Immortal Crystals, and the credit is all yours."
"Boss, how can I take it all for myself?" The golden-robed man scratched his head.
"You found them and killed them, so you should. I was just helping you subdue their leader." The crimson-robed man waved his hand, "Also, tell the environnt guardians to plant trees here and restore the flora, and I didn't think there were so many unused lands. Look at that. Those bandits even occupied an Immortal Crystal Mine that we haven't found."
He gestured towards the bandit stronghold that no longer existed, but now, there was an Immortal Crystal Mine that seed to have a core, although it held no fragnts, probably in the spatial ring of that dead Level Nine Immortal bandit.
However, the golden-robed man shook his head.
"I don't think so, boss. I checked it with the Immortal Crystal Mine List, and it was registered. However, that Immortal Crystal Mine is almost depleted, so our Fire Phoenix Clan didn't see the need to waste resources to allocate it and instead left it as an opportunity to the people of our prefecture."
"I see. As expected of our ruler, tyrannical yet magnanimous. Even those dragon rulers don't easily dare to face him in battle."
The crimson-robed man possessed a prideful smile on his face. In a prefecture, every Immortal Crystal Mine belonged to the ruler. Even if it didn't belong to them but was owned by a local power, they were still heavily taxed, but their ruler left a few Immortal Crystal Mines for others to enjoy and grow.
If that isn't magnanimous, then what is?
"Alright, I'll leave it to you all to pursue those suspicious immortals. Don't take this matter lightly. Immortals wouldn't disappear just like that after their immortal tribulations. Most likely, this matter is related to that Blue Luan Immortal who killed the Thirty-Fourth Fire Phoenix City's City Lord, as we guessed, or there must be sothing looming behind the background that we haven't figured out yet, so move with caution. Even if you find the danger is within the realm of your capability, report to
imdiately."
"Yes!~"
The golden-robed man deeply bowed before he shot towards the distance, moving in the direction that Nadia would've continued to travel.
The crimson-robed man also left towards the south, seemingly returning to where he ca from.
