688: C688 Meeting a Desert Thief

C688 Meeting a Desert Thief

Because he doesn't think it's necessary.

In any case, he had already appeared in the Desolate Heavens. As for returning to the Desolate Heaven City, there was no difference between a few days earlier and a few days later.

As for the other reason, it was because he had expended a lot of energy previously. After coming out of the Ghost God Abyss, he had already found the direction of the Desolate Heaven. He flew for half a month or so before arriving at the Desolate Heaven.

During this half a month, he continued to fly. It also consumed a lot of his energy. Furthermore, he could not absorb a large amount of Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth to replenish his energy at any time in the lava sea, so he was unable to recover to his peak condition. If something unexpected happened, he might suffer a great loss.

Therefore, he decided to take advantage of this period of time to rest properly in the carriage frame for a period of time. Then, he would adjust his condition to its peak and return to his peak condition.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

At this moment, a wave of noisy footsteps could be heard from afar.

At the same time, it also reached Ling Jian's ears.

This sound should still be far away and not very loud. However, after Ling Jian broke through to the Heaven Enlightenment Realm, both his strength and perception became extremely powerful. This little bit of movement of the wind and grass naturally could not be hidden from his ears.

Instantly, Ling Jian's eyes slowly opened. At the same time, his brows also slightly wrinkled at this moment.

"Looks like the luck of this merchant group is not very good."

Ling Jian spoke indifferently. Not long after he finished speaking, at this moment, a wave of chaotic cries sounded out from outside the carriage.

"Not good, there's a situation up ahead!"

"That seems to be a person."

"So open and aboveboard. Not good, it's a Desolate Thief."

"We actually encountered a Desolate Thief! How could our luck be so bad?"

"Ah! So many people have come! I wonder if our captain can handle them?"

"Cut the crap. Everyone, get your spirits up. Pick up the weapons in your hands and prepare to fight!"

...

In an instant, the sounds of panic outside the carriage echoed.

The cultivators on both sides of the carriage drew out their weapons one after another, ready to fight at any time.

At the same time, because of the panic outside, the other cultivators inside the carriage also began to panic.

And it was clearly the first time some of the cultivators had experienced it, so they immediately stuck their heads out to see what was happening outside.

As for those cultivators who had already experienced the Desolate Thieves, they were extremely calm. In comparison, they didn't panic at all.

"Everyone, calm down. Do not cause internal strife. Listen to my command. If you can defeat them, then fight. If you can't defeat them, then retreat."

At this moment, a loud and clear voice came from the crowd. The person who spoke was the captain of the merchant group, who was the most powerful one among the merchant group.

The only one who was at the peak of the Earth Spirit Dao.

He was the captain of the merchant group, and he was also a cultivator at the peak of the Earth Spirit Dao. As soon as the words left his mouth, the panicky situation in the merchant group instantly stabilized. Everyone's gaze fell upon him.

He was at the peak of the Earth Spirit Dao, and was only a step away from entering the Heavenly Spirit Dao. He could already be considered an extremely powerful existence in the Desolate Lands. Unless he encountered some Desolate Thieves with higher cultivation bases than him, there wouldn't be any accidents.

At this time, Ling Jian was sitting on the carriage frame, bored. He lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked ahead, only to see the front of the convoy. The figures of cultivators were heading their way, some of them riding ferocious beasts. They were heading straight for the caravan.

Although these cultivators looked messy and disorderly, their speed was quite fast. Soon, they arrived in front of the caravan and surrounded them in an instant.1

Because they had been living the life of licking blood from the edge of their blades all year round, these desolate bandits all looked extremely slovenly. Rather than saying that they were dressing up, it would be better to say that they were not dressing up at all. Their faces were filled with cruelty and malevolence. At this moment, they surrounded the merchant group. They even revealed murderous gazes.

The cultivators in the carriage were already extremely fearful. Now that they saw these vicious looking people, they were so frightened that they trembled. Some of them even hid within the carriage but it was unavoidable for them to be nervous.

Ling Jian's gaze only indifferently swept across the group of people in front of him.

He saw a group of desolate bandits riding unknown ferocious beasts in front of the six people from the merchant group.

The number of people on the opposing side had also reached six people, as if they had come prepared.

In particular, the attire and aura of these six people were clearly much stronger than the Desolate Thieves behind them.

And these six people were impressively Spirit Dao experts as well.

The auras of the three people in the middle were clearly even more powerful. They had actually reached the Earth Spirit Dao Realm.

At that instant, when the captain of the merchant group saw three cultivators of the Earth Spirit Dao, his expression instantly changed.

As the captain of the merchant group, it was not his first time roaming the Desolate Lands.

However, in the past, if one was lucky, they wouldn't have encountered a Desolate Thief many times.

He had only encountered one occasionally, but it was also because he was at the peak of the Earth Spirit Dao. He had completely resolved this dangerous situation, and in the end, he had turned the danger into safety.

However, he had never expected three experts of the Earth Spirit Dao to come at once. Although not all three of them had reached the peak of the Earth Spirit Dao, such a group of bandits was enough to make people feel powerless.

It could be said that it was no exaggeration to say that this group of Desolate Thieves... Even amongst the Desolate Bandits in the entire Desolate Sky, they could be considered extremely tyrannical. Unless one encountered a large merchant group, the outcome would most likely be admitting defeat.

After all, he was the only one who had reached the Earth Spirit Path, while the other party had a total of three people.

Even if they had not reached the peak of the Earth Spirit Dao, it was enough to pose a threat to him.

It could be said that this was the first time he had encountered such a thing in his life. He hadn't expected that after walking in the Desolate Land for so many years, there would still be such a day.

"I wonder if the three brothers have any important matters to attend to?"

At this moment, the captain of the merchant group sized up the gains and losses, and spoke to the three bandits opposite him.

Facing three bandits who were not weaker than him, even he did not dare to easily offend them. At this moment, he even cupped his hands and smiled.

If it wasn't for the previously tense situation, the cultivators in the carriage would definitely think that they were brothers that had been separated for many years.

"Hmph, you're just a small captain of a merchant caravan, who came with you as friends?"

One of the bandits sneered, his words full of sarcasm.

He had seen people speak randomly, and he had seen people daydreaming, but he had never seen anyone in broad daylight, randomly recognizing a brother. Why didn't you acknowledge a thief as your father?
