The third floor was in chaos, and at the same time, the second floor and first floor were in chaos as well. But the bandits that made a move here were mainly in chaos and didn't really make a move. They didn't have enough manpower, and if they were narrow-minded, then they might be taken down on the spot!
The quality of this group of bandits was extremely high, and the bandits that were in charge of providing support below weren't moved in the slightest by the dazzling array of treasures. They only made a ruckus and caused the entire Guangcheng Palace to be even more chaotic!
But all the chaotic crowd didn't include the masters, especially the cultivators of the small vestibule!
As the person that set up the trap, they only left a little over 40 Jin Dan cultivators in the Guangcheng Palace. There were less than 10 on the first and second floors, a few in the plaza outside the palace, and less than 20 on the third floor!
With a flip of the tiny cauldron, the cultivators that were comparatively close to the treasures were temporarily flipped to another isolated space, and this included the Golden Hall Treasure Appraisers, treasure holders, and outer land treasure viewers. It also included a portion of the small vestibule Jin Dan cultivators that were guarding. There were over 10 of them, and the absent-minded Yin Ya was amongst them! This was equivalent to more than half of the small vestibule cultivators on the third floor losing their usefulness!
But there were still six or seven small vestibule cultivators that didn't approach to protect the treasures, and they instead stood far away outside the viewing circle and were in charge of full surveillance.
There were still over 100 cultivators like this, and for various reasons, they were chatting, taking a breather, unwilling to join in the fun, or some fake bandit that clearly knew what would happen!
All of this came extremely suddenly, and it was sudden to the point most people didn't have the time to react. When the space flipped, the spirit explosion had already unfolded, and it was targeted precisely at these cultivators that stayed on the outer layer of the third floor!
Most people were floating out, but the small vestibule cultivators were instead fighting for the treasures! This was their duty, and even if they might encounter unfathomable danger, they still had to do this!
It was also at this instant that a Golden Hall Realm cultivator saw the snakeskin pouch, and then he instinctively launched an attack towards the person controlling it!
Not more than two breaths of time had passed since the space flipped until now!
This was the challenge issued by the most ancient bandit group towards a formidable sect! Even though their strengths were utterly incomparable, but in this kind of time, in this kind of environment, and under each other's objectives, the Golden Hall Realm cultivators really might not be able to gain any advantage!
When facing an attack, the bandit that placed the snakeskin pouch wasn't afraid, nor did he receive the attack, he just turned around and fled. This caused the few people present to be slightly puzzled. He's in panic to the point he doesn't even want his loot?
It's not like this! Because the snakeskin bag did not only belong to one person! Instead, it was a spiritual artifact that belonged to all the bandits. In other words, anyone could take it!
At that moment, there were still a few bandits on the third floor who were making a ruckus. Yu Hu was one of them!
The snakeskin bag searched for its owner, but was intercepted by the cultivators of the small vestibule several times. They couldn't stop the snakeskin bag, and were also afraid that attacking it would destroy the treasures inside. Therefore, they all attacked the bandits, and it was a mess!
Only three breaths had passed!
The cultivators of the small vestibule were intercepting the bandits, but they couldn't tell who the real bandits were! This was because other than the bandits, there were also a few cultivators from the Outer Continent who remained at the scene. It was unknown whether their reflexes were too slow or if they had ulterior motives. It was also unknown whether they were helping Huang Ting or thinking of taking advantage of the situation …
Including Lou Xiaoyi!
He had already unsheathed his sword, but he maintained the lowest level of intensity. The targets of his sword were all cultivators who wanted to obtain the snakeskin pouch, until Yu Gu finally rushed towards the snakeskin pouch …
This fellow's strength was truly a little weak. Only now did he find an opportunity! If he continued to dawdle, Lou Xiaoyi suspected that someone would notice something!
Yu Gu successfully obtained the snakeskin pouch! This was because only when he made a move, Lou Xiaoyi wouldn't deliberately stop him. Furthermore, he didn't mind the spell of another cultivator from the small vestibule!
Of course, he didn't mind. After all, it was someone else's body!
When he obtained the snakeskin pouch, his body was sent flying by the spell and smashed into the wall of the palace, creating a big hole. However, he didn't hesitate to flip over the wall and jump out of Guangcheng Palace!
… Outside the palace, it wasn't as chaotic as he imagined! This was because Xia Bingji was there!
She didn't stay in Guangcheng Palace! Instead, she stayed in the square outside the palace. As the leader, the person in charge, her position shouldn't be on the frontline fighting and killing. Instead, she should be in charge of the overall situation. As long as no one broke through Guangcheng Palace's spell formation, as long as everyone was there, the treasures and the bandits wouldn't run away!
Now it would seem that there wasn't a single bandit, but a group of bandits!
At the critical moment, she displayed her extraordinary ability to control the situation. Under her command, a few tens of cultivators from the small vestibule acted as the middleman, and the few hundreds of Golden Hall Realm cultivators present acted in unison. They'd basically finished organizing all the cultivators that came from outside Guangcheng Palace in a few tens of breaths of time. Almost a thousand cultivators had already faintly taken shape, and they didn't panic any longer as they silently waited for the members of the bandits to jump out from within!
This was the accomplishment of Golden Hall Realm cultivators, and it was also the cooperation of the other cultivators from the outer continent! They were all cultivators at the level of Jin Dan, figures that had experienced the dangers of the cultivation world for a long time, so how could they be stupid? As soon as they jumped out of Guangcheng Palace, they instantly understood what exactly had happened within the palace. They hated the bandits for being arrogant and hated that a proper treasure appraisal was interrupted, so there was utterly no one that didn't cooperate. They knew too clearly in their hearts that whoever didn't cooperate now would surely be the first target of suspicion by the Huangting Daoism!
A few bandits jumped out just like this! Under the gazes of everyone!
The matter originally wasn't so troublesome! Within Guangcheng Palace, according to their plan, they originally should have obtained that snakeskin pouch long ago, but there was a crafty and crafty Swordsman on the third floor that had spoiled their collection numerous times. If it wasn't for their last companion disregarding his life, they would have thought that the mission would have failed!
But now, they still had a chance!
Lou Xiaoyi stood at the entrance of the cave that Yu Gu had smashed open and didn't rashly go out. Behind him, the energy of space exploded, and the few hundred cultivators that were swept into space appeared!
They were very disciplined and didn't shout and kill as soon as they came out, but instead stood silently. Obviously, Yin Ya and a portion of the Golden Hall Realm cultivators had played a key role in this. They were deeply aware of the purpose of the bandits using spatial techniques, and if they flew around randomly after coming out, it would instead create an opportunity for the bandits to escape.
The few small vestibule cultivators that stayed on the third floor came over to greet them, and with a flash of their Divine Sense, they'd already clearly explained everything that had happened outside. Since no one had been able to escape until now, then everything was under control!
Yin Ya noticed Lou Xiaoyi who stood at the entrance of the cave, and she walked over and said angrily,
"Bandit One Ear, why aren't you running!"
Lou Xiaoyi pursed his lips and said, "Look at this battle formation! I'm not stupid. Would I run out and be beaten into minced meat? "
Yin Ya looked outside. Close to a thousand Jin Dan had tightly surrounded the entire Guangcheng Palace, and not even a drop of water could leak out!
A voice was still shouting, "The bandits inside, listen up! You've already been surrounded! If you stop now, there's still room for negotiation. Otherwise, under the lightning, all will be turned into chaos. The life of cultivation is short, don't say that you didn't warn us! "
