Chapter 972: Releasing the Nine Nether....
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Among the Saint Bandits, the most outstanding thing was not their members or their ideals.
It was the Heaven Lock Technique that could support all theories.
Even if the current members of the Saint Bandits could steal some people’s talents, they could also give them strength.
However, compared to the Heaven Lock Technique, there was a world of difference.
The person who could find the Saint Bandits must have learned the Heaven Lock Technique.
From all aspects, once one learned the Heaven Lock Technique, they would have a high status among the Saint Bandits.
“You know quite a lot about them. May I know where you are from?” asked the middle-aged man curiously.
“I’m from the Heavenly Spirit Tribe,” Nangong Yue said coldly. “The Land of Saint Bandits is extremely sacred. It’s best not to talk too much about it. Otherwise, it’ll cause trouble.”
The middle-aged man nodded.
Then, he left silently.
Jiang Hao looked at Nangong Yue curiously. “Are you a Saint Bandit?”
Nangong Yue was shocked when she heard his words. She had never seen anyone so bold as to disregard others and call her out.
Nangong Yue ignored him and turned to leave.
Jiang Hao watched as she walked away to meet up with an old woman.
She might also be a member of the Saint Bandits.
“Peak of the Soul Ascension Realm… How long has it been? She has already recovered so much of her strength.” Jiang Hao was surprised.
The cultivation realm of the Saint Bandits recovered very quickly.
Jiang Hao stopped paying attention to the other party and turned to the person beside him. He asked curiously, “Senior, do you know where the Land of Saint Thieves is?”
Hong Yuye glanced at him but did not speak.
Jiang Hao didn’t ask anything further.
There were many strange things in the depths of the sea, such as the sea monsters that suddenly swam past the fierce beasts with many tentacles.
It reminded him of the sea monsters in the Sea Fog Cave. They seemed to hold grudges.
It had been a long time since they last met. He wondered if the other party still hated him.
There was no way to tell whether it was day or night at the bottom of the sea.
Only when they reached the shore would they know what the weather was like outside.
They could avoid storms easily at the bottom of the sea. Sometimes, they would see the deep-sea freeze like a stream extending into the distance.
While Jiang Hao was admiring the scenery, he suddenly heard a low roar.
He turned around and found that someone’s spirit pet was walking on the deck.
It had spiritual flames burning on his body. Its cultivation realm was not high, but its aura was extraordinary.
It must be an amazing spirit pet.
It looked like a lion but had yet to mature.
It was staring at a young girl.
It looked like it was on a hunt and was ready to pounce at any moment.
The girl retreated in fear and quickly asked for help.
An old man stood in front of the girl.
He used a spell to attack the spirit pet.
However, the spirit pet was wild and difficult to tame. It suddenly attacked.
Boom!
Another spell collided with it.
The spirit pet was sent flying. Its eyes filled with anger.
When others heard a commotion, a woman walked out from inside the small room.
Seeing the spirit pet in a sorry state, anger rose in her heart.
“Who injured my spirit pet?”
“Senior, I didn’t hurt your spirit pet, but it attacked this little girl. We were only trying to defend ourselves,” said the old man hurriedly.
“Why would it attack if you didn’t do anything?” said the woman. “You must have done something.”
“I really only pushed it back a little. I didn’t do anything to harm it,” said the old man.
He was still shielding the young girl.
“Pushed it back? And you have the gall to say you didn’t do anything at all,” said the woman coldly.
“Senior, I’m sorry, but your pet attacked us first,” said the young girl after mustering up her courage.
“This spirit pet of mine likes to purify its spirit. It was only looking at you. It wouldn’t ever stack anyone. Even the owner of the ship knows this. Who attacked my pet and crippled its hand?!” shouted the woman.
In an instant, two guards behind the woman walked out and arrived in front of the old man in the blink of an eye.
One of the guards pulled the old man’s arm and twisted it behind his back.
There was a crack and some blood. The guard pulled the arm apart and threw it into the sea.
There was a scream, and the young girl started crying.
The woman slapped the young girl across the face.
“Please, let us go,” said the girl and begged.
“Let you go?” the woman said in a low voice. “Do you see what you did to my spirit pet? How are you going to pay for it?”
The people watching did not interfere.
Jiang Hao crouched down and looked at the proud lion in the distance. Then, he gathered a wisp of his spirit.
It was pure and flawless.
Sure enough, the creature instantly turned to him and quickly walked over.
It looked very aggressive, as though it would pounce any minute.
Jiang Hao smiled and let Little Wang out.
The latter was a little confused but saw the spirit pet in front of it. Its eyes emitted a golden light.
It looked at Jiang Hao.
“Eat… it’s already delivered to your doorstep,” Jiang Hao said gently.
The moment it saw Little Wang, the spirit pet trembled. It looked terrified.
It screamed and wanted to escape.
However, Little Wang pounced on him.
In an instant, it bit off half of the spirit pet’s body.
The sharp screams were deafening.
It attracted everyone’s attention.
The woman looked over and saw that half of her spirit pet had been eaten. It was looking at her for help.
It looked at her in despair, and then…
Bam!
A large black dog swallowed her spirit pet in one go.
For a moment, it became eerily silent. The sudden change left everyone in disbelief.
Nangong Yue felt her scalp go numb as she watched the scene.
Jiang Hao waved his hand, and the black dog returned to his hand.
He grabbed the black dog’s fur. “Whose spirit pet is that? Why didn’t you take care of it? Now, my Little Wang has gone and eaten it! What am I to do if Little Wang gets indigestion?”
At that moment, the woman looked over at him. She was trembling in anger. She gritted her teeth.
“Kill him! Tear him into pieces!”
In an instant, the two guards whistled past like black shadows.
Just when everyone thought that everything was over, a saber light swept across the area.
Boom!
In an instant, the guard exploded. His guts and blood sprayed all around the deck.
The woman was shocked. She looked around but didn’t see Jiang Hao.
“Are you looking for me?” said a voice near her ear.
The woman turned and looked behind her. When she saw Jiang Hao smiling, she trembled in fear.
Then, a blade light swept across her eyes.
A cold and mocking voice reached her ears. “Take proper care of your spirit pets next time. Otherwise, I’ll be very displeased.”
The woman could not react.
In the end, she fell unconscious.
Everything had happened so fast.
She thought there was no one on the ship stronger than her, but she was wrong.
