CHAPTER 282: CHAPTER 206 TERRITORY

Territory

At this moment, the cultivators returning were all dejected, full of terror on their faces, pleading incessantly, and shirking responsibility, claiming their innocence.

They also vaguely indicated that there was still an ancestor at the peak of Qi Cultivation behind them.

Small Knife couldn’t be bothered, capturing them one by one and sending them into Personal Space.

Upon entry, they immediately fell unconscious.

Killer intent?

Small Knife’s face suddenly changed.

The Golden Bell rapidly appeared.

It turned out that the elder cultivator who hadn’t been captured yet suddenly rushed over with a sinister face and detonated himself.

Small Knife spat a mouthful of blood, the Golden Bell dim, with a string of -1hp appearing...!

For a moment, he couldn’t quite recover, the explosive damage was clearly too great.

Another person shouted and charged but was hit by a Water Arrow.

Yet he still managed to self-detonate in time, blasting three nearby Water Crows to smithereens, and the closer ones directly exploded to Qi Cultivation Second Layer, Qi Cultivation First Layer.

The Water Crows of Qi Cultivation First Layer immediately shrank to half the original size.

And the Water Crows shattered into pieces, turning into liquid, which was merely Mortal Water without a trace of Spirit Water, a rather miraculous occurrence.

Small Knife instinctively distanced himself from the captives, while other Water Crows surrounded the captives in a circle.

One by one their faces were ashen with a struggling expression, yet none dared to self-detonate further.

Subsequently, after recovering for a while, Small Knife consumed a drop of Spirit Water, fully restoring his status, before cautiously capturing them one by one under the protection of the Golden Bell and locking them into Personal Space.

Purposefully, the captives entering were in an unconscious state.

The harvest was not bad.

Especially, the Water Crow Pot was the most satisfactory.

After recovering a while more, his status was almost fully restored.

Only then did he put away all the Water Crows.

Then he checked the Water Crow Pot, where the entry-level Spirit Water consumed in this battle was over thirty drops.

Considering its value, it’s good enough if Small Knife doesn’t lose money.

However, it was worth it.

Then he directly replenished it.

Lastly, Small Knife simply released a Water Crow, landing on its back, heading swiftly towards Little Knife Island.

This Water Crow possessed basic instincts, requiring only general command, more relaxing and energy-saving than Sword Flight.

Of course, primarily it consumed the power of Spirit Water, easy to control.

Beep: Congratulations on entering the Celestial Net range.

The familiar notification sounded, giving Small Knife a homely feeling.

As thoughts circulated, a vast range centered on Little Knife Island covered by the Celestial Net emerged in his mind.

Like an unimaginably large map.

Everything within the Celestial Net Domain appeared in his mind.

Of course, ordinary players couldn’t do that, only lords like Small Knife could.

Currently, only four people in this world possess this privilege: the builders of Heaven and Earth Level 4.

The other three places are naturally Northern Witch, South Worm, and Western Wilderness.

However, their establishments are estimated to be very early, and whether their owners are still alive is unknown?

But naturally, Small Knife wasn’t considering these.

He immediately examined the small dots on the map.

"So many demonic beasts?"

Maybe due to the previous battle, with plenty of demon beast flesh scattered over the sea, centering on Small Knife, numerous sea beasts lingered without leaving. Small Knife discovered four demon beasts just by himself.

That’s quite a number; under normal circumstances, even within dozens of islands’ range, encountering a single demon beast may not occur.

And these four even led their own groups, quite numerous, seemingly settled in this sea region.

However, Small Knife swept past and focused attention on those cultivators.

No Qi Cultivation Advanced experts were found, but four middle-stage Qi Cultivation practitioners appeared.

Though many, compared to the more than thirty early-stage Qi Cultivation practitioners, they were much fewer.

This vast number of early-stage Qi Cultivation cultivators, the majority were First-Layer Qi Cultivation, evidently Immortal Masters.

Looks like the Spirit Vein news leaked, they came for this intent, but didn’t they consider how capable they were?

These Immortal Masters were divided into more than ten groups, wandering around everywhere.

Seeing these small dots representing cultivators, Small Knife’s eyes lit up.

Great people, delivering so much profit to me.

At this moment within the Celestial Net range, Small Knife directly contacted Mountain Grass.

Upon inquiry.

Well then, news about Little Knife Island was being spread among the natives, partly true, partly false, in addition to the First Realm Spirit Vein, there were rumors of entry-level spiritual objects, supposedly discovering life-extending Spirit Medicine within the Spirit Vein nearing maturity, clearly deliberately publicized.

There was also power offering bounties for intelligence on Little Knife Island, offering high prices including three junior-level magical artifacts.

No wonder so many envious Immortal Masters could be attracted?

Thank you all indeed.

Once again expressing gratitude, the smiley-faced Small Knife set his sights on the Immortal Masters’ nearest location indicated on the map.

Three people, one with Qi Cultivation Second Layer, accompanied by two of the First Layer.

Soon, these three Immortal Masters were dumbfounded, faces full of despair, regretting joining the fray.

Who knew just being on the outskirts, hoping to gather some intelligence for a bit of small gain, would unexpectedly encounter deadly danger.

Because they were surrounded by four monsters.

Each one was at the peak of the Third-Layer of Qi Cultivation. These crow-shaped demon beasts sculpted like water exuded powerful auras, none of which they could withstand, nor had hope of escaping.

"Surrender and you won’t die." The fifth Water Crow appeared, with Small Knife grinning on its back, scrutinizing them like examining goods.

Guests?

No, goods.

Thus without needing threats, the three Immortal Masters decisively surrendered.

This was just the beginning.

Relying on the Water Crows and the Celestial Net, it didn’t take long for Small Knife to round up all Immortal Masters within the range.
