The Foundation Establishment Cultivators were all dead and the Qi Refinement Cultivators had fled – Wu Yi was the only one alive.
He collected the storage pouches of the Foundation Establishment cultivators, then searched through all nine carriages.
Most of the things in the carriages were raw materials – refined weapon refinement materials, Grade 1 and Grade 2 elixirs etc.
Right now, Wang Daoyuan was in urgent need of Grade 3 elixirs so that he could gather enough for the Meridian Protecting Elixir to become an inferior-grade Grade 3 Elixir Refinement Master.
The ordinary Grade 2 elixirs of Netherworld Sect were not of much use to him.
However, there were a few superior-grade Grade 2 elixirs that were of great use to him.
Wang Daoyuan controlled his clone, Wu Yi, to take some of the superior-grade Grade 2 elixirs and weapon refinement materials.
He did not dare to take too much. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if the vice hall master pursued the matter.
Not taking anything was not the style of itinerant cultivators.
Furthermore, Wang Daoyuan was not rich right now.
He only had slightly more than 200,000 spirit stones on hand. If he wanted to exchange for the Yin Yang Purple Jade from Blood Shadow, he would need 600,000 to 700,000 spirit stones per piece.
Even if he took some from his family, he would still be short of money – he had to try his best to earn more spirit stones.
Even a mosquito's leg was meat – these things could be worth a lot of spirit stones as well.
He could not keep the resources he intercepted with him either. Instead, he stored them in storage bags and hid them east of Carriage Gorge, not far from where Wang Daoyuan was hiding.
After searching the corpses and hiding the loot, Wu Yi sent a message to Scarlet Fox, reporting the success of the operation and requesting the hall master to send someone over to receive them.
After all, he did not have the ability to take away all nine carriages of items alone, especially those weapon refinement materials which were extremely dense.
A lump of metal material that was about a foot in diameter already exceeded the upper limit of the storage bag's capacity.
He would need at least 100 to 200 storage bags to take away all of these items.
After the news spread, more than 10 peak Qi Refinement Cultivators rushed out of the forest west of Carriage Gorge in less than 15 minutes.
Each of them had around 20 storage bags on them. The leader cupped his fists towards Wu Yi. "Lord Wu Yi, we were sent by the hall master to receive you."
These people were clean-up cultivators specially groomed by Blood Shadow. Although their cultivation talents were not great, they were extremely good at cleaning up traces, moving and hiding the loot.
Assassinations and robberies like this were usually coordinated by cultivators who would deal with the aftermath.
Their arrival was equivalent to handing over the goods.
As for the rest of the matter, there was no need for action cultivators to participate.
Wu Yi didn't care about that anymore and immediately fled on his sword.
Wang Daoyuan took the loot that Wu Yi had hidden near him and escaped underground.
He and his doppelganger did not immediately return to Wild Goose City Square. Instead, they lingered around the city square for a few days before entering the city square from the east.
This was because the eastern part of the market was the half-fiends' territory. The half-fiends were in a state of disunity and were neutral.
Therefore, most itinerant cultivators liked to mingle in this area.
The itinerant cultivators who entered and left the market from the east were the most numerous. Hence, they would not be conspicuous among the itinerant cultivators.
Wang Daoyuan had just returned to the market when he heard the news. The cultivators of the Netherworld Sect were furious and had sent cultivators to cause trouble for the Guiyuan Sword Sect.
The Guiyuan Sword Sect was also confused. They were sitting in the mountains, but the trouble came from the sky.
The Guiyuan Sword Sect explained the situation to the Netherworld Sect through the half-demon tribes that they had business with.
The late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Guiyuan Sword Sect had not come out recently.
Their sect's inheritance was very widespread and there were many people who knew one or two moves. Someone must have framed them.
How could the cultivators of the Netherworld Sect believe their enemies? The people and things at the scene of the incident did not even have ashes left.
Only a huge rock that had been cut in half was split in half by a sword.
From the marks left on the ground, it was obviously caused by the Heaven Cleaving Sword.
For the Heaven Cleaving Sword to be so powerful, it was definitely not something that a itinerant cultivator who had learned one or two moves could do.
The Guiyuan Sword Sect was speechless. Without the Sword Kinesis Technique that was unique to the Guiyuan Sword Sect, the Heaven Cleaving Sword was not very powerful.
The people of the Guiyuan Sword Sect also received the news that Wang Daoyuan knew the Guiyuan Sword Sect's Dharma spells and they were very powerful. They used Wang Daoyuan as an example.
The Netherworld Sect did not care about them at all. The Wang Family was in the limelight in the Netherworld Sect and was deeply trusted by the sect master.
Within the Netherworld Sect, the Wang Family had Purple Mansion Elders and disciples who were under the tutelage of the native elders. They also held positions in the Netherworld Sect.
This treatment was better than most of the family members and outsiders.
Besides, the Wang Family started out as a miner and had always been worried about where to sell their ores.
In recent years, they had expanded their territory in the Sky Slash Mountain Range and opened up hundreds of acres of spirit fields. They also did not lack spirit herbs.
Giving up a good future and risking the destruction of his family to rob the Netherworld Sect of resources, and resources that he did not need.
Anyone with a brain would not do such a stupid thing.
Was Wang Daoyuan a fool? Who said that he was a fool? Those who had dealt with Wang Daoyuan before would vomit in their faces.
Especially the cultivators of the Cruel Sun Palace. They had been cheated badly during the duel between the two sects.
And the goods from the Netherworld Sect were at most a hundred thousand Spirit Stones.
After the Wang Family built the flying boat, there were rumors that Wang Daoyuan was proficient in alchemy, artifact, and talisman arrays. Would such a person lack Spirit Stones?
If he could reach the level of a second-level superior-grade alchemy, artifact, and talisman array master, earning ten or twenty thousand Spirit Stones a year would be like child's play.
Wang Daoyuan could do all three and was also proficient in array formations.
Would such a person risk his life for a mere hundred thousand Spirit Stones?
No one would believe that it was Wang Daoyuan who did it.
The blame was firmly pinned on the head of the Gui Yuan Sword Sect and there was no way to shake it off.
The situation in the Shanbei Mountains that had been peaceful for a few years was stirred up once more. The Netherworld Sect used this as an excuse to increase the garrison strength of the Guiyan Market.
This time round, the Netherworld Sect had a sufficient reason and it was the Shanbei Mountains that took the initiative to stir up trouble.
As long as the matter was not blown out of proportion, the demons and half-demons could not say anything.
Wang Daoyuan also returned to his own crafting workshop and started crafting artifacts.
What did Bloodshadow have to do with me if he pretended to be someone from the Gui Yuan Sword Sect to rob the Netherworld Sect of their resources?
The clone, Wu Yi, returned to the underground hideout of Bloodshadow and arrived at the meeting hall.
Scarlet Fox sat high above while the vice Hall Master, Xuan Marten, sat on the left. Both of them wore masks and their expressions could not be seen.
Wu Yi bowed. "Greetings, Hall Master."
He then bowed to Xuan Marten. "Greetings, Vice Hall Master."
Scarlet Fox said calmly, "No need for formalities. You did well this time round.
Not only did you complete the mission, you also had the Gui Yuan Sword Sect to take the blame. "
Even though she tried her best to control her voice so that others could not hear anything, her entire body was trembling slightly. It was obvious that she was extremely emotional.
Wang Daoyuan, the clone of Wu Yi with his panoramic perception, saw something that he should not have seen and circulated his water spirit energy to calm himself down.
The vice Hall Master, Xuan Marten, asked coldly, "Wu Yi, you came back unscathed while the three people I sent out are dead. Don't you think you owe me an explanation?"
This vice Hall Master's voice was rather pleasant to the ears. Wu Yi did not hide anything and recounted the entire process of the battle.
The rule of Bloodshadow was that it only depended on whether the mission could be completed. The life and death of manpower did not matter.
It was perfectly normal for him to let the three of them hold back the Netherworld Sect cultivators while he waited for an opportunity to strike.
Xuan Marten had nothing to say and snorted coldly before walking out of the meeting hall.
Only Wu Yi and Scarlet Fox were left in the hall. Scarlet Fox laughed heartily and her entire body was trembling violently.
Even though Wu Yi was extremely afraid of her, his qi and blood were unstable at this moment.
On the other side, Wang Daoyuan seemed extremely calm after consuming more than ten Black Jade Lotus seeds in a single breath.
After laughing for a long time, Scarlet Fox said to Wu Yi, "There's a total of 90,000 spirit stones in this batch of resources. Since the other three are dead, you'll get half of it.
I'll round it up for you and give you 50,000 spirit stones. "
With that, Scarlet Fox walked out of the hall.
Thereafter, Wu Yi heard Scarlet Fox's voice transmission through her spirit consciousness. "Come to my cave abode at night. I have something to discuss."
Those words could easily cause a misunderstanding. Even a gentleman like Wang Daoyuan could not help but think in the wrong direction.
