Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 1349: Chapter 1349: Cleaning Up

The Flying Boat wasn’t going too fast or too slow; in fact, Su Yuanyuan was deliberately waiting for Li Xiang to catch up. Someone who dared covet her man and child—how could she possibly let her go?

The two of them flew for a full day and night. Tan Shaoting suddenly stood up. ”They’re here.”

Su Yuanyuan stood up as well. Her Divine Sense had already locked on; the one coming really was Li Xiang. Looked like that woman’s obsession ran pretty deep.

Their Flying Artifacts were extremely fast. Su Yuanyuan felt that one of those ought to belong to her too.

The Flying Boat was blocked. Tan Shaoting stepped out, controlling his sword and standing in midair.

”Fellow Daoist? What advice do you have?”

”Hand over the Vermilion Bird.”

Tan Shaoting froze for a moment. ”Fellow Daoist, the Vermilion Bird isn’t with us.”

Inside the Flying Boat, Su Yuanyuan looked at the four cultivators opposite them. All Foundation Establishment. Seemed they really didn’t know where the Vermilion Bird was. That opening line was just a pretext.

”Hand over the Vermilion Bird, and I can spare you and your son’s lives.”

Tan Shaoting still shook his head. ”The Vermilion Bird isn’t in my hands.”

Su Yuanyuan walked out of the Flying Boat and directly put it away. She’d spent so many Spirit Stones on that thing; she couldn’t let it get wrecked.

She stood at Tan Shaoting’s side, just to further provoke Li Xiang.

”Chasing a man all the way out here? Coveting my man and my kid? Can’t you have one of your own?

Tsk tsk. Most likely you can’t have one at all. Really is pretty pitiful.”

Hearing Su Yuanyuan’s words, Li Xiang was instantly enraged. Women naturally repelled each other, and now Su Yuanyuan was fanning the flames.

She didn’t say a single word and directly released her weapon.

Su Yuanyuan glanced at the white ribbon, completely unimpressed.

The two women clashed. This was Su Yuanyuan’s first time fighting a female cultivator who used this kind of Magic Artifact. At first she couldn’t get a feel for it, but later she adapted to this fighting style.

Tan Shaoting’s side was much simpler. He straightforwardly held back the four Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Su Yuanyuan was getting more and more comfortable. Her own Spirit Sword couldn’t go head-on against that woman’s Magic Artifact, but her movement technique was good; she soon closed in on Li Xiang.

Close combat was Su Yuanyuan’s specialty.

Li Xiang was starting to lose ground. She hadn’t expected a mere Early-stage Foundation Establishment female cultivator to hold out this long.

And she was totally hopeless at close combat.

She tried to pull away, but Su Yuanyuan wasn’t about to let her. The two of them fought from midair all the way down to the ground.

Feeling she couldn’t hold on, Li Xiang wanted to use the Entanglement Technique to disrupt Su Yuanyuan’s attacks.

She also released her spirit beast—a Fourth Rank Unicorn.

Su Yuanyuan was attacked from both sides and immediately started feeling stretched thin.

She figured she should just get rid of Li Xiang first; once the master died, the Unicorn would be finished too.

Half an hour later, Li Xiang fell beneath Su Yuanyuan’s sword. At the same time, a miserable cry came from the Unicorn, and it collapsed as well.

Su Yuanyuan took Li Xiang’s Storage Ring and Storage Bag, then burned her body to ash.

Tan Shaoting had long since finished off the other four. Su Yuanyuan smiled, put away the cloud-shaped Magic Artifact, and would refine it further when they got back.

She brought out the Flying Boat again, the couple boarded once more, and this time they flew at full speed.

Two days later, they were stopped again. This time there were five Foundation Establishment and one Golden Core; this was probably arranged by the Great Elder.

This group was more low-key; none of them were wearing the Beast Taming Sect’s sect robes.

Tan Shaoting took on the Golden Core Stage cultivator. Su Yuanyuan used an Array to trap three of the five Foundation Establishment cultivators; the other two dodged out, so she had no choice but to fight.

As she fought, she wondered if she could draw an Array in midair.

Since she had the thought, she started experimenting. Without the help of an Array Plate or Array Flags, it really was quite difficult.

After more than ten failed attempts, she gave up for now and focused on finishing them off.

Her Swordsmanship grew faster and faster. The two opponents also released their spirit beasts, and fighting together like that put Su Yuanyuan at a big disadvantage.

She directly flung out a stack of talismans, disrupting their attacks.

Tan Shaoting wasn’t in great shape either; his Spiritual Power reserves were falling behind.

When there was really no chance of winning, he suddenly used a Divine Sense Attack.

This Golden Core Middle Stage cultivator wasn’t on guard. On the Fuxing Continent, Cultivation Techniques for Divine Sense Attacks were already rare, only recorded in ancient books.

He felt as if knives were viciously stabbing into his brain.

Tan Shaoting’s Divine Sense was at the Golden Core Stage level, so in that brief pause he launched a second Divine Sense Attack.

The Golden Core Middle Stage cultivator of the Beast Taming Sect immediately collapsed, clutching his head and rolling on the ground.

Tan Shaoting’s sword followed, directly abolishing his cultivation. Since his wife already knew their intentions, there was no need to keep him.

After finishing off the Golden Core Stage cultivator, he saw that his wife had already dealt with four of them and only one was left.

The couple cleaned up the battlefield, then boarded the Flying Boat and left again.

True Monarch Jing Ling was already furious to the point of madness. The Vermilion Bird had already made an agreement with him, leaving a mark that only the two of them could sense, but up to now it was as if the bird had vanished into thin air.

He knew the Xuantian Sect had scattered their people and had already sent men to ambush and kill them. But that junior actually didn’t have the Beast Ring on him.

He also couldn’t sense the Vermilion Bird from any other direction. That was the troublesome part. Had it been taken away early? Even so, the Vermilion Bird would still have left traces.

Suddenly he saw the soul lamp of his several disciples go out one after another.

They were the ones sent to ambush that couple. He’d taken a fancy to those two children and had already told them that contracting spirit beasts was fine, but contracting humans was not allowed.

True Monarch Jing Ling stood up, ready to leave, when a Sound Transmission Talisman floated over.

After listening to the message, his expression turned extremely ugly, but in the end he still didn’t move.

That old beggar from the Xuantian Sect had actually shown up—he truly hadn’t expected that.

But how could he just give up on the Vermilion Bird like this?

Fine, he’d wait. Whoever ended up with it in the end, that person absolutely wouldn’t be allowed to live.

Su Yuanyuan still hadn’t brought out the two children. She didn’t know if there would be more ambushes.

Tan Shaoting was really anxious now. They were already feeding top-grade spiritual stones into the Flying Boat, just wanting to reach the sect faster.

He had no idea how the others were doing. Right now, only going back would be the safest.

Five days later, at noon, the two finally entered the Xuantian Sect’s territory. Su Yuanyuan released Qi Hao and Qi Xuan.

She told them both to be sure to strengthen their Divine Sense training. That Golden Core cultivator had actually wanted to contract her son.

Su Yuanyuan had read through that Jade Scroll herself and concluded that only a powerful Divine Sense could truly protect oneself.

The two little ones nodded obediently. After their last medicinal bath, they would finally be able to begin Cultivation.
