"The Strongest Martial Emperor in the City"!
Perception has a lot to do with soul strength. The stronger the soul, the larger the perception range will tend to be, and vice versa.
Yang Qi, a cultivator at the early stage of the four-star martial emperor, had such a strong perception ability. Either his soul was particularly strong, or he practiced a special perception secret method. Regardless of the reason, it showed that Yang Qi's background was not simple. The treasure that strengthened the soul was extremely precious. As for the special perception secret method, it was generally only possessed by powerful forces!
Although Emperor Chi Yun was curious, he had no intention of asking further questions. Firstly, this was Yang Qi's secret, and secondly, now was not the right time to ask about these things.
The group of practitioners coming towards them were not much weaker than them. The top priority now was how to deal with this group of practitioners.
Whoosh~ Whoosh~
After a moment, black dots appeared in everyone's sight in the void. As the opponent continued to approach, the human figures became clearer and clearer.
As the group of practitioners approached, Emperor Chiyun's face darkened and he uttered four words coldly, "It's the Red Lotus Bandits!"
After countless years of development, the bandits entrenched in this star field have formed several bandit groups. Among them, there are five more famous bandit groups, one of which is the Red Lotus Bandit Group.
It is said that the leader of the Red Lotus Bandits is a five-star Martial Emperor, who commands dozens of Martial Emperor cultivators and a large number of Martial Emperor cultivators. With such strength, if placed in the Blood Soul Sea, it is definitely not weaker than the cultivation force of the Qingkong Sect, which shows how powerful the Red Lotus Bandits are.
"This is trouble!" Tie Hao's face looked a little ugly.
There is no doubt that the Red Lotus Bandits are powerful, and they are definitely not someone they can contend with. Even if only some practitioners from the Red Lotus Bandits were dispatched at this time, once a conflict broke out between them, the support from the Red Lotus Bandits would probably arrive soon.
Upon hearing this, Yang Qi raised his eyebrows slightly, and then asked in a deep voice, "Will the Red Lotus Bandits attack us?"
To be honest, Yang Qi really didn't take these few practitioners in front of him seriously. Even though there were more than twenty of them, most of them were low-level Martial Emperors. There were only four mid-level Martial Emperors, and the strongest one was only a late-stage four-star Martial Emperor.
"That's not the case. Among the major bandit groups, the Red Lotus Bandit Group is the one that least likes to fight." Tie Hao shook his head slightly.
Um
After hearing this, Yang Qi was stunned. The Red Lotus Bandits didn't like to fight, so why did Tie Hao say that he was in trouble with the Red Lotus Bandits
As if seeing the doubt in Yang Qi's heart, Tie Hao quickly explained, "Although the Red Lotus Bandits don't like to take direct action, they will charge a high toll. If you don't pay, you will be attacked by the Red Lotus Bandits."
"How high is it?" Yang Qi asked subconsciously.
Upon hearing this, Tie Hao did not hide anything and said directly, "A mid-level martial emperor will get a top-grade Taoist weapon, and a low-level martial emperor will get a top-grade Taoist weapon."
hiss~
After hearing this, Yang Qi couldn't help but take a deep breath. This price was not a small amount for a cultivator at the Martial Emperor level. After all, it was just a one-time visit, but traveling between the two major forces would involve two visits, which meant that the price would have to be doubled!
"The Red Lotus Bandits are very powerful. Practitioners who are not strong enough can only consider themselves unlucky when they encounter them." Tie Hao said helplessly.
Although they are not afraid of the Red Lotus bandits in front of them, the Red Lotus Bandits are more than just these people. There are also strong men at the peak of the five-star Martial Emperor level. Without the strength of a six-star Martial Emperor, if they encounter the Red Lotus Bandits, they can only hand over the treasures to save their lives.
Fortunately, although the toll charged by the Red Lotus Bandits is high, they will only charge the same practitioner once, so there is no need to worry about being charged tolls by the Red Lotus Bandits on subsequent journeys. This is also one of the important reasons why other practitioners are willing to hand over their treasures to ensure their safety.
Most of the practitioners present knew the origins of the Red Lotus Bandits, so after discovering that the other party was the Red Lotus Bandits, they could only consider themselves unlucky and secretly prepare the toll.
Emperor Chiyun looked at the practitioners of the Red Lotus Bandits not far away, and bowed slightly, saying, "So you are fellow Taoists from the Red Lotus Group. I know the rules, so please wait a moment."
"The rules of the Red Lotus Group have changed recently. All practitioners must pay a toll of one top-grade Taoist weapon." The burly man in the lead said coldly.
What
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of Emperor Chiyun and others suddenly changed. Originally, the tolls they paid added up to the value of just one top-grade Taoist weapon, but now each of them had one, which was more than ten times the amount.
The average Martial Emperor only used top-grade Dao weapons. One could imagine what the value of a top-grade Dao weapon meant to an ordinary Martial Emperor. Asking them to take out a treasure worth the value of a top-grade Dao weapon would definitely be a loss of flesh, even if it didn't hurt their bones.
"My fellow Taoists, isn't a top-grade Taoist weapon too expensive?" Emperor Chi Yun looked at the leading cultivator and said.
Although Emperor Chiyun could easily take out a top-grade Taoist weapon himself, a top-grade Taoist weapon was definitely not a small number for the low-level Martial Emperors in the team. Just because he could accept it did not mean that other practitioners could accept it.
Upon hearing this, the cultivator sneered and said, "Now the two major forces are constantly at odds with each other, and small-scale battles have already broken out many times. If we go to the technological civilization now, this is the price."
Upon hearing the cultivator's words, a look of helplessness flashed across Emperor Chiyun's face, and he immediately sent a message to everyone to discuss the matter.
"Everyone, you should all be aware of the style of the Red Lotus Bandits. If you want to get through, you'll need a top-grade Taoist weapon." There was a hint of helplessness in Emperor Chiyun's tone.
As soon as the Emperor Chi Yun finished speaking, a cultivator immediately transmitted his voice, "Brother Chi Yun, I am not afraid to tell you that although I have a top-grade Taoist weapon, it took me many years to accumulate it. I can't give it away. As for the other treasures on me, all of them combined are not worth a top-grade Taoist weapon."
"It's the same for me. Unless I take out the top-grade Taoist weapons I have, I simply can't take out treasures of equal value."
"Me too!"
As soon as the cultivator finished speaking, several cultivators echoed him. Although the Martial Emperor cultivators had accumulated a lot, most of these accumulations were used to improve their strength, and the rest were also used on Dao soldiers. It can be said that the most valuable things on a strong person are their Dao soldiers and some resources needed for their own cultivation, and there are not many other treasures.
Being asked to produce a top-grade Taoist weapon so suddenly is not so easy for an ordinary low-level Martial Emperor to produce it without using his own Taoist weapon.
The Red Lotus Bandits' request was tantamount to asking for weapons used by low-level Martial Emperors to fight. How could they possibly agree to it
Hearing what everyone said, Emperor Chiyun couldn't help but flash a hint of helplessness in his eyes. He also knew that what the Red Lotus Bandits did was a bit unreasonable.
