Hide in The Immortal Cultivation World, Strike Hard in the Martial World
Chapter 386 - 189: Bandit Cultivators

Next, there was another piece of news.

After the Beast Wave erupted, it seemed to hinder the Yang Family's route to Xuantian Continent, forcing the Yang Family's commercial activities to the Xuantian Continent to halt for the past two years.

However, a trade route controlled by the Qi Family, also from Wangyue City, seemed to be not greatly affected.

Chen Yi did not have much concern about this,

As the power struggle between the Yang and Qi families ultimately depends on the strength of the Core Formation cultivators, other factors were minor details.

If Yang Dan successfully formed his Core, and even formed a Golden Core, then not to mention the Qi Family, even Ling Jingjing would have to give up, the Yang family's status would be immovable in the next few hundred years,

Conversely, if Yang Dan's Core Formation fails, and the Qi family produces a Gold Core cultivator, the situation could be reversed.

Next, Chen Yi didn't say anything more to Wu Cong, only giving him the list of materials needed for the next batch of purchases, and telling him not to rush, safety should be the priority,

Wu Cong then left.

....

In the following days, Ma Xiaoqiu came to Chen Yi's mansion to discuss the robbery of Lin Family Island by bandit cultivators,

Lin Family Island is also in the east of the Ten Thousand Islands Alliance, about ten thousand miles from Little Cold Peak, neither far nor near.

But Ma Xiaoqiu worried that the goal and target of the bandit cultivators overlapped with that of Chen Yi and Ma Xiaoqiu, she advised Chen Yi to be more careful.

"Don't worry, Fairy Ma, ordinarily, bandit cultivators on the road kill a few people, causing little commotion.

However, like this invasion into Lin family to kill and loot, even in the Ten Thousand Islands Alliance, it is a major case. The Alliance Law Enforcement Team, including several major sects and forces, will definitely not sit idly by,

They would not dare to pillage and kill again in the short term."

As a result, not long after Chen Yi finished speaking,

There was a voice transmission from the outside:

"All cultivators of Little Cold Peak and Xiao Qiu Peak come out, I am the executor of Qinglong Island, here to investigate the robbery of Lin Family Island!"

Chen Yi and Ma Xiaoqiu looked at each other, and both flew outward.

Inside the Mountain-Protection Array of Little Cold Peak, Chen Yi saw a small Qinglong-shaped flying Magical Instrument hovering hundreds of feet outside of Little Cold Peak,

There stood two men on it, one old and one young,

The old man's Mana fluctuated, filled with murderous intent, standing with his hands behind his back, his expression cold and stern.

The young man was tall and handsome, with Mana fluctuating at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage,

He held a small Qinglong-shaped Jade Token in his hand,

The Jade Token subtly emitted the unique Qinglong light and shadow of the Qinglong Island Sect.

"Daoist Chen, this is the Law Enforcement Jade Token of Qinglong Island, there's no doubt that these two are cultivators from Qinglong Island."

Ma Xiaoqiu explained to Chen Yi, then took the lead in exiting from the Array Method, and greeted the two men.

Chen Yi also followed, but was alert:

"Two esteemed cultivators, I am Chen Yi of Little Cold Peak, this is my neighbor, Daoist Ma Xiaoqiu. May I ask which of you is from the Qinglong Island? I am a good friend of Song Chengcheng from Qinglong Island."

"I am an executor from the Law Enforcement Hall, my surname is Chen, this here is my colleague surnamed Zhang.

I know Song Chengcheng, but this visit is not for idle chat with you,

There are a few questions I would like to ask you about the robbery of Lin Family Island."

The elder spoke lightly, lifting his hands.

"Please wait a moment, esteemed cultivators. We don't know any information about the bandit cultivators, we will notify the elders of Cold Sword Gate to come and answer your questions."

Chen Yi, standing at the edge of the Little Cold Peak's Array Method in the Void, revealed no intention of inviting the two into the peak. He took out a message-passing talisman, ready to summon the outer gate Elder of Cold Sword Gate.

Seeing this, the older Executor Chen, narrowed his eyes, and said indifferently,

"There's no need to invite the Elder of Cold Sword Gate, you just open the Array Method and let us come in and have a look."

Chen Yi frowned slightly, quietly retreated several feet, prepared to step back into the Array Method.

"If you find the search inconvenient, then stand still. My Spirit Beast can smell and determine the results."

Executor Chen opened his Spirit Beast Bag and released a Canine Spirit Beast. Looking harmless to humans and animals, it innocently began moving towards Chen Yi with its snout in the air.

As the Canine Spirit Beast got closer and closer, an unusual scent filled the air,

At the moment when Ma Xiaoqiu seemed slightly dazed,

Whoosh!

The canine beast suddenly exploded in speed mid-air, baring its tusks, becoming a streak of light, shooting towards the two of them.

"Ah!" Ma Xiaoqiu, her spirit affected by the scent, reacted a bit late. By the time she regained her senses, the canine beast was already up close, its bloody breath overwhelming.

Boom!

A Turtle Puppet was deployed in time in front of Chen Yi and Ma Xiaoqiu, and the canine beast bit down on the turtle shell, leaving only two tooth marks on it.

Seeing the Mana fluctuation on this Turtle Puppet revealed that Chen Yi was well prepared.

"Humph! Turtle doctor, as expected, always cautious, to have realized ahead of time!"

The surnamed Chen's sneak attack failed, his face darkened, coldly staring at Doctor Chen, his eyes filled with a killing intent.

"Chen Yi did not detect anything particular."

Chen Yi took out two Defensive Talismans, in addition to the Turtle Puppet, he also released a Bear Puppet, and activated the spirit stone within it. At the same time, he took a Gold Body Pill, speaking calmly,

"Song Chengcheng of Qinglong Island has a big name, anyone who knows her knows that I am her century-old best friend,

It's nearly impossible for a Qinglong Island executor to search me, let alone search my Cave Mansion without evidence,

Heh, how could your actions not raise doubts?"

As Chen Yi spoke, he also took out objects from his bag, whilst always ready to retreat back inside the array,

Steady and sure, standing on the ground of victory,

Since the other party has already initiated action, he might as well check their strength. If the opponent is weak, taking an opportunity to eliminate them would be the best way to ensure future peace,
