Chapter 608: Deceived by a Golden Core Cultivator

The caravan did not have a flying ship. The team had to travel on foot to fly at a low altitude on a safe section of the road. No one dared to fly at high altitude because no one knew when a spatial rift would appear.
He listened to the leader’s reminder. Shen Ping could not help but look into the sky. His powerful divine sense could detect the fluctuations of the spatial rift in the distance. In such an area, even he did not dare to casually teleport. These spatial rifts did not all lead to the Canglan Demon Realm. Some would directly enter the Black Mist Direlands.
Ying Yue, who was beside him, was wearing a simple pink and white embroidered dress. She wore a cloak on her head that covered her peerless appearance, but her enchanting and tall figure still attracted the attention of some cultivators. “Husband, the strongest among these cultivators is only in the Golden Core realm. If a Demon Race cultivator appears, their cultivation level will not be high.”
Shen Ping nodded to himself. “Let’s just blend in with the caravan. There’s no need to cause too much trouble. When we reach the quarry beach, find a cultivator to test the other party’s will with an illusion.”
“Yes, husband.” Ying Yue was still very happy that Shen Ping had brought her along. After all, her husband had many wives and concubines. Among them, there were wives and concubines who had been together since he was weak. Their feelings could not be made up for by her looks.
After traveling for five days without any danger from the jade slip, some cultivators who went to the quarry beach for the first time could not help but lower their vigilance. On the sixth day, several unlucky fellows were swept into a spatial rift while flying.
Although Shen Ping could sense it in advance, he did not remind them too much. These guys deserved it. Even he, a Mahayana Realm expert, was flying at a low altitude, unlike them who had to court death.
Ying Yue followed closely beside Shen Ping. During this period, there were no ignorant cultivators.
Ten days later, there was still half a day’s journey to the quarry beach, but he did not expect to encounter a robbery cultivator.
“Take out all your storage treasures. We won’t hurt you. We only want money.”
There were four plunderers. Two of them were Golden Core human cultivators, and the other two were from other races. Their cultivation levels were also Golden Core, and there were six Golden Core cultivators in the caravan. However, these robbery cultivators had long set up trapping and killing arrays here. If they really fought with all their might, the Golden Core cultivators of the caravan might be fine, but the remaining Foundation Establishment cultivators would definitely be doomed.
Shen Ping looked at these robbery cultivators with interest. Their concealment methods were not bad. The leader of the caravan did not notice them before falling into their trap.
“Fellow Daoists, our caravan often comes and goes on this road. Since you set up an ambush near the quarry beach, you should have come from the quarry beach. It’s inevitable that you’ll take this road in the future. We’ll see each other often. How about this? We’ll each pay 500 spirit stones and go our separate ways. How about that?” The late-stage Golden Core cultivator in the lead smiled and stepped forward.
“500 spirit stones? Hmph, who are you trying to dismiss? 1,000 each!”
There were a total of 23 cultivators in the caravan, that adds up to a total of more than 20,000 spirit stones. This was a considerable sum of spirit stones in a remote place in the western district of the Abyss of Supreme Darkness. Even a poorer Golden Core cultivator could not fork out it.
Therefore, these words made the six Golden Core cultivators frown. The Foundation Establishment cultivators’ expressions were even more ugly. If they really wanted to take it out, they could take it out, but the loss was not small. A medium-grade Silver Patterned Malevolent Wood from the Quarry Beach was worth 600 spirit stones in the market.
Ying Yue smiled and transmitted her voice, “Husband, I guess they will definitely attack in the end. These robbery cultivators have ordinary mana auras and ordinary foundations. On the other hand, the leader has a strong foundation. If they really fight, some Foundation Establishment cultivators might die, but these robbery cultivators will definitely not have a good time.” Shen Ping did not have much experience with such a scene, but he agreed that some Foundation Establishment cultivators would die. Most cultivators were selfish. The Golden Cores in the caravan would not care about the life and death of Foundation Establishment cultivators. It would be considered a conscience if they did not take the opportunity to add insult to injury.
“Husband, do you want me to do it?” Ying Yue asked.
Shen Ping thought for a moment and said, “Just don’t kill anyone. Just treat it as a good cause.”
“Yingyue understands.”
While the two of them transmitted their voices, the leader of the caravan and the other Golden Cores looked at each other. As their eyes gathered, they had already discussed a countermeasure. They first pretended to agree, then after taking out the spirit stones, they suddenly attacked. Clearly, they were prepared to break through the array formation and sweep away the other Foundation Establishment spirit stones.
Boom! For a moment, all kinds of magic treasures flashed. The fluorescent light of the trapping and killing arrays trembled endlessly. In almost a few breaths, they were broken by the golden cores of the caravan.
The four robbery cultivators were vigilant but they did not dare to fight with the Golden Core cultivators. They focused on taking care of the Foundation Establishment cultivators. Just as they were killing the Foundation Establishment cultivators, their vision suddenly became blurry. The magic power and magic treasures in their bodies were out of control, and a lotus flower bloomed in their sea of consciousness.
When they came back to their senses, they understood that they had encountered an expert. Therefore, they did not dare to stay any longer and fled.
Only Shen Ping, Ying Yue, and those weak Foundation Establishment Cultivators who could not escape in time were left in the broken array formation. Although these cultivators did not know how the four robbery cultivators escaped, they vaguely guessed something. They looked at Shen Ping and Ying Yue, who were standing calmly on the spot, and bowed one after another. “Thank you for saving me, Senior.”
Shen Ping waved his hand casually. “Which one of you has been to the quarry beach?”
Soon, a female cultivator stood up. “I’ve been there, we’ll arrive in half a day.”
“Lead the way.”
With this female cultivator leading the way, the group quickly arrived at the quarry beach. After they left, this female cultivator recommended herself and bowed. “Seniors, I’m quite familiar with the quarry beach. If you need anything, feel free to ask..”
