Chapter 109: Plunder and Melee
Guo Fei was tied up like a rice dumpling, and the ropes used to bind him were made from rhinoceros tendon, exceptionally tough. Then he was thrown into the storage room in the underground chamber of the Ling Temple, as the temple didn't have a prison cell, only the warehouse for storing precious tributes from various countries was relatively secure, so they tied Guo Fei to the pillar in the warehouse and guarded him.
At this point, Guo Fei could be certain that being sent to the Spiritual Temple was absolutely not a good thing. If he were being sent there to become a spiritual tribe disciple, the people of the Spiritual Temple would never treat him like this. So, without a doubt, they must be trying to harm him.
In the dark warehouse, Hu Xiaoyue and Liang Tie were silently summoned out, and the two quickly untied Guo Fei's ropes together.
"Master, let's rush out!" Hu Xiaoyue looked at the thick iron gate and said in a low voice.
"Don't worry, I estimate that Zhao Wang hasn't gone far yet. Once they return, the Ling tribe will demand our capture, and with my soul note in their hands, with his cultivation, once he locks onto me, I won't be able to escape. We must wait until Zhao Wang is far away before we can act. As for the warriors in this spiritual hall, I don't see many top-notch experts, and since we'll be attacking unexpectedly when they're off guard, we should be able to break out." Guo Fei thought deeply.
Guo Fei relaxed his sore arm, which had been tied by ropes, and looked around. This room was very large, with wooden boxes placed everywhere. When Guo Fei was brought in, he knew that this was an underground room, connected to several storage rooms.
"Master, this box is full of gold coins!" Hu Xiaoyue opened a box and found it was filled with gold coins.
"Good heavens, how much wealth did the Ling family plunder? So many gold coins are scattered here like trash." Guo Fei's heart was shaken as he walked over and opened box after box of gold coins. Roughly estimating, there were at least five million gold coins.
Guo Fei was naturally not polite, as for whether he could get out or not, it was another matter. When encountering wealth, he would naturally take it in. Such a good thing was of course hard to come by, and Guo Fei unceremoniously took everything into the Token Space.
After collecting the gold coins in this warehouse, Guo Fei took out the Xuan Tie sword and activated its energy. The sword's blade flashed like a hot knife cutting through tofu, slicing open the door to enter the adjacent room.
Next to this warehouse is another warehouse, which stores a large amount of refined iron and wootz steel materials. The quantity is huge, occupying half of the warehouse, piled up inside. Guo Fei quickly stored them in the military symbol space and stacked them up.
Opening the third warehouse, there were actually two boxes of Ling stones and three finished weapons. They looked quite valuable, estimated to be at the level of a treasured device. Two long spears and one long sword.
The material of the two long spears might be Yin, and holding them in hand gave off a cold feeling. Guo Fei was delighted in his heart - the captain of the Giant Spirit Battle Team, Big Guy, and the vice-captain, Knight, were still using the Ghost Tribe Long Spears they had obtained from the Black Wall Battlefield. Although those long spears were suitable for Ghost Tribe cultivators, as their undead soldier levels increased, it was clear that they were no longer suitable. The destructive power of the Nether Qi was too strong, and the attack power was overbearing - the two of them had already broken several long spears. Finding these two long spears was a timely solution to their problem.
Although it's still a bit less, the Giant Spirit War Team currently has three ghost generals of the undead soldier level, all of whom can emit dark energy. Now they just need to encounter better materials to forge weapons for them. However, whether the forged weapons can directly become above the treasure level, Guo Fei is not sure in his heart.
Guo Fei handed the two long spears to the captain and deputy captain of the Giant Spirit Battle Team. The two lightly raised their spears, and a gray spear aura burst out from the tip, silently and quietly punching a deep hole in the thick wall.
The two of them were overjoyed, and couldn't help but lovingly caress each other's hands.
Guo Fei continued to command the corpse soldiers and Hu Xiaoyue, Liang Tie searched in the underground warehouse. When they didn't see anything valuable, they stopped. At midnight, Guo Fei had the corpse soldiers form a line, quietly using their sword tips to cut off the door hinges, and stealthily walked out of the underground chamber of the Lingdian Temple.
Out of the basement, Guo Fei identified his position and transformed into a ninja. With one horse in front, Xuan Yue's curved knife silently took out more than a dozen patrolling Lingdian warriors. Then, he led the Giant Spirit Battle Team, Hu Xiaoyue, and Liang Tiejun to sneak towards the residence of the Lingdian warriors.
Since it has come to this point, naturally it is a matter of killing without mercy. The fewer people who have seen me, the safer I will be. Otherwise, once the Ling tribe takes notice of me, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to escape.
Fortunately, the Lingdian Temple was just a facade. Although the warriors of the temple were quite skilled, they had been pampered by various countries and no longer needed to take action themselves. The long period of comfortable life had made them lose their vigilance. Guo Fei sneaked into their dormitory and silently killed nearly fifty people like a ninja. Many people died in their sleep.
"Boom!" While raiding a room, he finally met an expert. Guo Fei quietly approached the bedside, his hand holding the Xuan Yue curved knife seemed to merge with the dark night color, drawing out a silent and stealthy knife shadow, slashing towards the person's neck on the bed.
But just as the change was about to occur, this person's body suddenly rose up and quickly dodged past, and with a swift motion, picked up the large sword from the bedside. The sword flashed once, emitting a fiery red glow that fiercely slashed towards Guo Fei. Closely following behind Guo Fei, the Giant Spirit War Team Captain's long spear suddenly shot out, its grey aura colliding with the person's sword aura, producing a violently explosive sound.
"Not good!" Guo Fei secretly cried out. Alarming the warriors of the Spiritual Temple was a small matter, but the key point was that outside the temple, there were two battalions from the Mu Hua Kingdom standing guard. Once they charged over, he might become surrounded.
"Hiss!" Guo Fei immediately put away the Xuan Yue curved knife and took out the Xuan Tie sword. With a swift motion, he unleashed a "Sword Tip Slash", the sword tip dancing horizontally, directly piercing through the person's heart. The man let out an angry roar before falling powerlessly into a pool of blood. In an instant, Guo Fei had absorbed him into the Bing Fu space, and as a strong Wu Zong cultivator, he naturally turned him into a corpse soldier.
However, this loud explosion also thoroughly shocked the people in the temple, and outside suddenly became chaotic, with torches lit everywhere.
"Kill them and find the Soul Testing Crystal!" Guo Fei shouted loudly. He was most afraid of the Soul Testing Crystal, Hu Xiaoyue had an extraordinary vision, vaguely knowing that the human tribe had a tracking technique, the function of the Soul Testing Crystal, Guo Fei had been secretly inquiring about on the way he was being escorted, and had faintly guessed that it not only could test the attributes of the soul body but also lock onto the last cultivator who used this crystal to test their soul body.
Currently, Guo Fei has been tested by the Soul-Testing Crystal twice. Once was the Soul-Testing Crystal at Zhao Guo's residence, which Zhao Wang brought with him when he escorted Guo Fei here for safety reasons and has since taken away. The other time was this Spirit Temple's Soul-Testing Crystal testing Guo Fei's soul. Therefore, Guo Fei made up his mind to seize it, otherwise once the Ling Clan's expert arrives and uses the Soul-Testing Crystal to lock onto himself, he will have nowhere to hide.
Guo Fei transformed into a ninja commander, with the corpse soldiers as vanguard, Hu Xiaoyue and Liang Tiejun in the middle to respond, the entire team became one entity, the Lingdian warriors killed their way forward, these Lingdian warriors didn't even understand the situation before being knocked to the ground.
There were three or four strong men who had just entered the Wu Zong, but as soon as they encountered a strong man, Guo Fei quickly launched "Sword Tip Slash" and killed him. It has to be said that the attack power of "Sword Tip Slash", which is equivalent to the earth-level ultimate skill, is astonishing, and there are almost no enemies in one move. Anyone who was locked by Guo Fei was beheaded.
In the process of killing, Guo Fei selected relatively high-quality corpses and threw them into the soldier symbol space to prepare for refining undead soldiers. Guo Fei didn't dare select too many corpses. Currently, the soldier symbol space can only recruit 44 soldiers, so Guo Fei couldn't possibly recruit all the corpses. Therefore, he stopped after selecting twelve good ones.
"Speak! Where is the Lord of the Spiritual Temple?" Guo Fei led his troops, moving back and forth like a meat grinder, almost cutting down all 200 spiritual temple warriors, but couldn't find the Lord of the Spiritual Temple. He was forced to capture a prisoner for interrogation.
"In, in, in there!" The man seemed to have lost his nerve and pointed shakily at one of the gardens within the temple complex.
Guo Fei let this person lead the way and rushed forward. Only after entering did he discover that the garden was filled with bamboo, and in the middle of the bamboo forest, there were even two luxurious small buildings hidden inside.
"This is really enjoyable!" Guo Fei glanced at the small building and cursed silently. The bamboo surrounding this small building was clearly not ordinary, with green stalks as bright as jade, emitting an exceptionally refreshing aura that made one feel carefree and relaxed.
This small building in the middle of the bamboo forest is surprisingly made entirely of bamboo, looking elegant but luxurious and grandiose, giving people a sense of unparalleled luxury and weirdness.
"Charge in!" Guo Fei waved his hand and the corpse soldiers rushed along the small path of the bamboo forest towards the small building.
"How dare you! The master of the Spirit Temple is also someone you dare to disturb, what kind of people are you, don't you want to live?" Just then, two figures flashed on the bamboo building above and flew down, their long sleeves fluttering like celestial maidens descending from the sky.
Guo Fei took a closer look and found that the two were actually two stunningly beautiful women, who looked identical in appearance. They seemed to be the bodyguards of the master of the Spiritual Temple. It was clear that these two were sent by the Muhua Kingdom to serve as attendants and protect the master of the Spiritual Temple.
Judging from their postures, both of them are not weak in cultivation and should have entered the ranks of Wu Zong. However, compared to Guo Fei's current power, they are far inferior.
Hu Xiaoyue's long sleeves danced, two icy spider silk ribbons wrapped around one person. At the same time, a faint blue light shadow flickered on her head, a fox shadow suddenly opened its mouth, and a fist-sized ice ball whizzed towards this woman.
The woman's hand shot out a soft whip, emitting a fiery red glow, which struck the ice ball and exploded with a deafening crash. The ice ball was unlike an ordinary ice arrow, having a shattering effect, and after the explosion, the shattered ice crystals scattered everywhere, sweeping away the surrounding bamboo forest, leaving no tree branches standing. Its power was extraordinary.
The woman was taken aback, took a look at the current situation, knew she had met a strong enemy, and shouted loudly to another woman who was surrounded by the Giant Spirit War Team: "Strong enemy, sound the alarm!"
The woman finished speaking, and the woman surrounded by the corpse soldiers took out a bamboo tube, raised it to the sky, and shot an arrow that pierced the clouds. However, taking advantage of the moment when the woman was distracted by shooting the arrow, the captain of the Giant Spirit War Team stabbed her to death with one spear.
"Sister!" Another woman shouted loudly and rushed towards her desperately.
"Hiss!" Hu Xiao Yue's icy spider silk floated out, wrapping around his neck, the fox shadow on her head opened its mouth and shot an ice arrow at his neck, instantly beheading him.
