"Cough, cough..."
A cough immediately silenced the low-level thugs, and they looked to the side. They saw a middle-aged man, around forty years old, walking towards them.
This person was the person in charge here, their squad leader!
"Captain Wu, take a look at this..."
Handing a recent procurement list to the man, the thugs stood by.
The middle-aged man glanced at the list and immediately frowned. He stared fixedly at the large mansion in front of him. After pondering for a moment, he said,
"I heard that the people of the Night Clan disappeared along with the Thousand Miles River and Mountain Painting. Hmph, if you haven't seen anyone go in these past few days, and there are so many more people to feed, then it's highly likely that the Thousand Miles River and Mountain Painting has reappeared... Heh heh."
As soon as he said this, everyone present was stunned for a moment, and then they all became excited.
"Captain Wu, you mean the person with the huge bounty is in the Baili family?"
"Is that true, Captain Wu? If you catch them, you'll have done a great service for the old man!"
At this moment, the middle-aged man's lips curved into an arc. Looking at the procurement list, he had already guessed most of it. With a chuckle, he walked outside.
"You few continue to keep watch. I'll go and hand this list over to the elders for them to see!"
Meanwhile, inside the Baili family, Baili Hanbing was leisurely drinking wine. From a high platform, he could clearly see the situation outside.
"Heh heh, trying to find out my background with just a few lookouts... Hmph, it seems that the Sacred Altar is truly not what it used to be..."
As he mused, Baili Hanbing shook his head. In the past, the elders of the Sacred Altar were all shrewd individuals. However, after centuries of peace, the Sacred Altar had become completely complacent. It could be said that the only ones who could still work were some low-level trash. As for those high and mighty elders, not a single one of them was serious about their work.
Even cultivating required squeezing the newcomers, let alone doing actual work.
Soon.
A knock came from the door, accompanied by a violent tremor, as if an army of thousands was surrounding the entire Baili mansion.
However, at this moment, Baili Hanbing was not in the least bit anxious, because his elder sister, Qin Yin, had already left in advance with Su Han.
...
In the desert.
Baili Qin Yin rode a camel and said with a faint smile, "Su Han, Su Han, I really didn't expect you to be so fickle. You won't tell me you're already married, will you?"
Su Han shrugged his shoulders. He couldn't help it either. These beautiful women all liked him very much, and Su Han felt he had no reason to refuse.
"Uh, not yet, but I have a fiancée."
Su Han stated the truth, and as expected, Baili Qin Yin was deeply affected.
"Damn it... I should have guessed that someone like you wouldn't still be single... Tell me, who is your fiancée? When I go back this time, I'll get rid of her!"
Su Han was startled. He never expected that Baili Qin Yin, who appeared gentle and virtuous, would speak so domineeringly.
"Hey, hey, you're too overbearing. You have to understand the concept of first come, first served. When she was with me, you didn't even know where you were. Now, you come along and she suffers undeserved disaster. Tell me, isn't that the way it is..." Su Han said.
Baili Qin Yin looked at Su Han with surprise. After all, in the Spirit Realm, strength was paramount. Such remarks from Su Han were rare, if not nonexistent.
"Ha, you're really interesting. I really want to know if your fiancée is stronger than me. If that's the case, I'll abdicate. If not, then she can step aside. I, Baili Qin Yin, will not yield the position of the main wife!"
As soon as she said this, Su Han became unhappy.
Although he had come to the Spirit Realm now, he still believed in returning to his roots and showing off his success. As for his companions, they were truly exceptional, managing trillions in assets for him. Su Han admitted that he was still very fond of them.
"I'm sorry, Miss Baili. I might have to disappoint you. We've already agreed. Although you are powerful, it's still a matter of first come, first served. I apologize, but you can only start as my personal maid according to the order. That's the rule..."
"You!"
As soon as he said this, Baili Qin Yin was furious. However, after looking at Su Han, she managed to suppress her anger, as Su Han was crucial to her at the moment.
"Hmph, saying such harsh words, don't beg me later. Once I recover my power, I can make the sun and moon dim and rivers flow backward. You'll know how powerful I am then, heh heh."
With a faint sentence, Su Han felt a chill down his spine. This woman with a peerless beauty before him truly wasn't easy to handle. She was an extremely powerful person herself, and she was also in an injured state. Once she recovered, Su Han was unsure of how strong she would be.
"Alright, enough talk. Be careful when you go to the Immortal Mansion this time! Many factions are watching around. If there's any slightest disturbance, escape if you can. Treasures can be found later, don't risk your life for them. If the green hills remain, there will be no lack of firewood!"
Hearing this, Su Han was stunned. With Baili Qin Yin saying it was so serious, he was a little worried about whether this trip would bring good or bad fortune.
"Baili Qin Yin, didn't you say that only some minor characters were going in this time? What's going on?"
Baili Qin Yin shrugged her shoulders and said, "Those who are willing to go in are naturally some young people. The younger they are, the more advantages they have. However, those old guys are guarding the entrance. If any peerless treasure is unearthed, they can shed all burdens and chase you without regard for their reputation. Rest assured, because I used to chase others like this!"
Pfft!
Su Han was stunned. He never expected that this seemingly harmless woman accompanying him had done such a shameless thing, killing people for treasures, and even snatching treasures from juniors.
However, it was also true that the Spirit Realm hardly spoke of human relationships or favors. All that mattered were fists and strength...
As they spoke.
The two had arrived at their destination. Ahead, in the center of the desert, they saw a very lush oasis!
