The wind was still blowing and the rain was still falling.
Time seemed to stop. Everyone froze where they stood.
Qin Sang did not realize that the person in front of her was a bandit, but she quickly sensed the other's power. The Bitter Bamboo told her to run, but the sudden oppressive feeling made it impossible for her to take a single step.
How strong was he?
Qin Sang could not describe it. She only knew that this pressure was the most terrifying she had ever felt. It surpassed her older brother and her father.
Her older brother and father were all experts with four connected spirits, but this person was still able to suppress them. This kind of pressure was not something that an expert of the same level could create. Five connected spirits, only five connected spirits!
Compared to the Four Physical Spirits, the Connected Five Physical Spirits was not as simple as adding a 'one' to the 'four'. The increase in the Connected Five Physical Spirits did not lie in the 'one', but in the more complex combinations and circulation methods of the Soul Power that were derived from the Connected Five Physical Spirits.
Compared to one connected spirit, the increase in two spirits was not as terrifying. After all, the combinations and transformations of two spirits were limited.
Once three were connected, one's power would go up a great level. Once one entered this level, because the combinations and transformations of soul power were more complex, one could not simply judge one's power by one's level. Each person's understanding and use of soul power, the abilities and power they grasped, would truly define each xiuzhe's power.
After that, the Four Physical Spirits were connected. Two hundred and forty years ago, no one had reached this level. Two hundred and forty years later, four connected spirits could be called one in ten thousand experts. Most of those that reached this level had astounding talent, or had illustrious backgrounds and bloodlines. It was they who had shaped the structure of the continent in the last two hundred and forty years, finally forming the present situation of three great empires.
Yet in the present world, six powerhouses who had connected all five spirits had appeared. Compared to connecting all four spirits, this was another leap in strength. But these six top experts all had different backgrounds. Up until now, they had not made any major moves that would upend the structure of the continent.
The Yan Family of the northwest was a noble family that had existed for thousands of years. After the current patriarch Yan Qiu Ci broke through to five connected spirits, no other family on the continent could compare to the Yan Family. In the northwest Luo City where the Yan Family had lived for generations. Although it was part of the Qingfeng Empire, everyone knew that the Yan Clan was the biggest power in the Luoyang City. The Green Peak Empire decided to turn a blind eye to it. Luoyang City didn't even assign the necessary officials. Yan Qiu Ci was also a city lord, but compared to Gorge Peak City Lord Wei Zhong, his position was much higher.
Lu Chenfeng was a typical academic. Without any special background or extraordinary bloodline, Lv Chenfeng was just like any other student who entered the academy in large numbers every year to begin their cultivation path. He started from the small academy near his hometown. Step by step, he finally managed to link up the five spirits in the North Style Academy, one of the four great academies. However, he didn't stop there. He continued to cultivate with his usual attitude. Wealth, power, status, he didn't care about them at all.
Zhao Yinchu, the absolute representation of a talented character. She was originally a singer and had never thought about it, much less come into contact with the cultivation of soul power. However, in her career as a singer, she had entered the Dao through sound, and unknowingly, she had already mastered the soul of song. After that, it was even more unstoppable, in her own unique way. She broke through the four spirits like a hot knife through butter. In terms of reaching the realm of linking up the five spirits, no one could compare to her.
Leng Xiutan, this kind of person reached the realm of linking up the five spirits. Countless people silently mourned for him. He had no principles, no standpoint, he only did things based on his mood, and treated everything else like grass. He was someone who had to be avoided when seen from afar, or else he might smash your head just because your hairstyle didn't suit him.
The last one was the one in front of them.
He was the most mysterious among the six experts. It could be said that no one had ever seen him before. What people could only see was the word 'robber' that seemed like it was about to fly out from his back.
Qin Sang already knew who this was. She could clearly hear the breathing of many people around her becoming hurried. Everyone was nervous.
But Qin Sang felt a little strange. The words of the robber. What did he want to do by sneaking in like this and stealing Ling Ziyan's corpse? If an expert with linked up the five spirits wanted to make things difficult for their Qin family, he basically didn't need to use such superfluous methods right?
What did the robber want to do?
No one had ever known.
No matter how ruthless and fickle Leng Xiutan was, there was always a reference: his mood.
The robber had never had one. No one knew his origins. No one knew his intentions. No one knew what the word 'robber' on his back meant.
Was it theft?
It wasn't that the robber hadn't done this before, but it wasn't very conspicuous. There were too many cultivators who focused on this business on the Continent. They were much more professional than the robber. If this was the meaning of the word 'robber', then there were probably tens of thousands of people more qualified than him on the Continent.
The only thing the robber gave people was mystery and the unknown.
He came, he appeared, and he left.
The oppressive feeling suddenly disappeared.
The person on the roof also suddenly disappeared. Just like the raincoat that had been floating in the wind and rain, the robber used the same method to suddenly disappear from everyone's eyes.
Ku Zhu let out a long breath.
But he immediately turned back to look at Qin Sang.
"Miss, are you alright?" Ku Zhu asked. Who knew if this kind of expert had used some method? Especially the always mysterious robber. It could be said that no one knew anything about him.
"I'm fine. What could possibly happen to me?" Qin Sang said.
"That's good." Only then did Ku Zhu feel relieved. Only an expert of unknown background could make someone as calm and collected as him show such a nervous and concerned expression.
"Why did he take Ling Ziyan away?" Qin Sang voiced the doubts in her heart. She had originally planned on asking, but the other had left too quickly.
"I'm not sure, I'll report to the patriarch. Miss, it's best if you go home and wait for a while!" Ku Zhu hadn't just broken his calm, he'd shaken his confidence. For a year and two months, he'd protected Qin Sang alone in secret. He believed he could accomplish it. In the worst case scenario, he'd have to risk his life. But now, faced with the threat of such an expert, he admitted that even if he risked his life, it would be of no use. So he very frankly suggested this to Qin Sang.
"I understand." Qin Sang nodded.
It wasn't just the two members of the Qin family. From Jia Qian to every member of Team One, they were all puzzled by the robber's appearance and actions. But at this time, a nonchalant voice broke the atmosphere of having survived a disaster.
"Is there anything else? If not, I'll be leaving first. "Lu Ping said.
