Lord of All Gods

Chapter 1731: Chapter 1731 Retreat

After making proper arrangements, Ye Liuyun ascended to the city wall of Black Tiger Gang, gazing into the distance at the base of the mountain with his Golden Phantom Eyes, waiting for the appearance of the people from Mystic Ice Palace.

Mystic Ice Palace was not far from Black Tiger Gang. The people from Mystic Ice Palace had set off in the morning. Even taking care of the slower people, they arrived at Black Tiger Gang’s base just past noon.

Black Tiger Gang had sentries located at the base of the mountain. Upon discovering so many disciples from Mystic Ice Palace coming, they immediately warned those up on the mountain.

The front gate of the Black Tiger Gang instantly began to close, with various shouts and warning sounds ringing out from within.

Upon seeing the people from Mystic Ice Palace with his Golden Phantom Eyes, Ye Liuyun instantly informed the Devil Vine, "Once they shut the city gate, you can make your move."

Then, he quickly went to wait outside the bandits’ treasure vault.

"Bang!"

With the shutting of the gates, Devil Vine started sprouting crazily everywhere inside. Of course, the Devil Vine didn’t forget Ye Liuyun’s instruction, guarding the city gate and walls tightly to prevent anyone from escaping.

Next, the Devil Vine’s frenzied onslaught began. The mountain fort was filled with continuous screams.

Ma Wanhao was the first bandit exterminated by the Devil Vine.

He was sleeping with a beautiful woman he had captured a few days ago. When the Devil Vine burst into the room from underground, he failed to grasp what happened. In no time, both him and the woman were swallowed by the Devil Vine.

Ye Liuyun did not know that the bandits actually kidnapped people. The Devil Vine naturally couldn’t tell the difference as well so it treated everyone the same as enemies.

Simultaneously, the extended tendrils of the Devil Vine also killed the few highest-ranked martial practitioners.

"Master, there are no longer any martial practitioners with a higher realm than you here!" The Devil Vine told Ye Liuyun.

"You’re really the effective one. That was way too fast!"

Ye Liuyun complimented the Devil Vine, then let everyone in the Spatial World out, asking the Devil Vine to help trap some martial practitioners for them to practice on.

These bandits, not only did they rob people, but they often fought among themselves in their spare time, so their combat experience was not bad at all, even stronger than the guards at the city lord’s mansion.

Moreover, they were filled with a bloodthirsty aura. They were vicious and evil, not knowing fear at all.

So, Ye Liuyun and the others did not have an easy time. Many times, it was Ye Liuyun who saved them. As for the others, they relied on the advantage of weapons and armor to be able to defeat their opponents of the same realm.

"These bandits are not simple!" Ye Liuyun also noticed.

If Man Shu and the others did not have Divine Weapon, they wouldn’t indeed be able to kill them.

At this time, the martial practitioners of Mystic Ice Palace at the foot of the mountain also heard the shouting and killing in the cottage.

"Is the General Manager alone? Why is there such a big commotion?" Some elders asked in confusion.

"With such a noisy sound, there must be more than one person! The General Manager probably asked for help, right? I knew he would definitely not let our disciples go to die!" Another elder continued.

The team then moved forward a bit, stopping halfway up the mountain. They strictly followed Ye Liuyun’s instructions, they wouldn’t attack if the door didn’t open.

Looking up from the bottom of the mountain, they could not see the tendrils of the Devil Vine occasionally stretching into the sky.

Not long after, the bandits inside the cottage suffered heavy casualties. Some bandits started preparing to escape, planning to break through the vines at the city gate.

Ye Liuyun and the others, after several rounds of battles, also depleted their genuine energy. Ye Liuyun let Man Shu, Lei Ming, and others break into the bandit’s treasury and take all the resources inside.

He then continued to challenge two late-stage first-level martial practitioners outside and had an easy fight.

When Ye Liuyun fought enough, Lei Ming and the others returned with the resources. Ye Liuyun then kept them all into the Spatial World, put on the Concealcape and threw Xiao Bingxin’s corpse on the ground, waiting for the Devil Vine to finish hunting.

The Devil Vine followed Ye Liuyun’s instructions diligently. When there were only two to three hundred martial practitioners of the lowest realm left, it opened the gates of the cottage and drove them out.

Then the Devil Vine withdrew all of its tendrils and headed off to report to Ye Liuyun.

Upon returning to the Spatial World, the Devil Vine vomited out all the Interspatial Ring.

It couldn’t distinguish who was the leader, so it simply left all the Interspatial Ring to Ye Liuyun.

With the opening of the gates of the Black Tiger Gang, the martial practitioners of Mystic Ice Palace immediately rushed forward.

The bandits inside the cottage rushed out in fear. Both sides ensued in a mad fight at the city gate.

The people of the Mystic Ice Palace were high-spirited, ignored the pleadings of the bandits, and started killing on sight. They wanted to rush in as quickly as possible and thought that the robbers were out to intercept them.

Ye Liuyun then took advantage of the chaos and rushed out, directly returning to Tundraland.

It was quite easy for the elders and disciples of the Mystic Ice Palace to kill the lowest-level martial practitioners of the Black Tiger Gang.

However, once they entered the city, they only found it in shambles. There were plenty of bloodstains, but not a single bandit corpse was in sight.

The only corpse they found was that of Xia Bingxin, their General Manager. His death was strange. His virtuoso was hollowed out. He looked like he had been poisoned, and was then frozen solid.

At that moment, they couldn’t find a living person to interrogate.

The last survivors had been killed when they barged in.

Looking at the General Manager’s corpse, the people of Mystic Ice Palace were dumbfounded, standing in place with a stupefied expression.

After a while, an elder reacted, summoned the disciples to search the treasury for resources, and sent people to search around. However, their efforts were in vain as they found nothing.

Thankfully, they didn’t incur any significant losses this time, nor could it be considered a total failure.

The elders were filled with doubt, feeling that the situation here was too surreal. freёwebnovel.com

Where had Ma Wanhao gone? Are those bandits dead or alive? How did the General Manager die? Who took away the resources in the treasury?

In order to give an explanation upon the return of the Lord of the palace, they brought back the General Manager’s corpse.

Then, the elders promptly issued orders for immediate evacuation, fearing further inexplicable occurrences that might result in a significant casualty.

The disciples didn’t care too much about the intricacies. Especially those who had just fought with the bandits were extremely excited, believing that they had won a great victory by annihilating the Black Tiger Gang.

As for the other bandits of the Black Tiger Gang, they must have been killed by their General Manager, and their General Manager was exhausted in the end and died together with the bandits.

News about the entire Mystic Ice Palace mobilizing for action was naturally widespread.

Soon, the news got out, claiming that the Mystic Ice Palace had exterminated the Black Tiger Gang.

This news greatly shocked many powerful forces. They hadn’t expected the Mystic Ice Palace’s strength to be so formidable. Even in the absence of the Lord of the palace, they managed to wipe out the Black Tiger Gang.

Only the elders of the Mystic Ice Palace nurtured a feeling of being used by others.

After the death of the General Manager, they had nothing to hold back anymore and immediately informed the Lord of the palace about the situation here.

They also could not open the Ice Spring and treasury, having to wait for the return of the Lord of the palace.
