Cultivation Begins with Skill Points-Chapter 245 Treasury

"Trying to run away, did you ask for my permission?"

These people before me were merely murderers and arsonists, pirates without a shred of virtue. As the saying goes, evil must be eradicated—since we’ve encountered them, none shall escape.

A flame extended from the back, transforming into two colossal fiery red wings. The wings flapped, like flowing fire, pursuing a man as thin as a monkey towards the southwest.

The skinny monkey man felt the terrifying flames behind him, his face turning pale instantly.

"Seven people, why are you chasing only me?"

Unfortunately, no one answered him. The Red Flames Wings is a secret technique derived from an Earth Level Middle Grade cultivation technique, incredibly fast, far beyond the evasion capabilities of a mere pirate.

"Don’t kill me, don’t kill me, I’ll give you all the treasures we’ve plundered over the years, spare my life."

The skinny monkey Martial Artist pleaded loudly as he fled.

"You guys? You store all the loot together?"

"Yes, our leader put everything we stole in a secret place. If you spare me, I’ll tell you the treasure’s location. Over hundreds of years, our ten brothers have plundered countless treasures. As long as you..."

The skinny monkey Martial Artist was elated to hear Zhong Lin’s words, thinking he was interested in the treasure. Just as he was about to say more, darkness consumed his vision, followed by his head exploding directly.

Zhong Lin reached out and stored the skinny monkey’s corpse in his Storage Bracelet, also tearing off the storage bag from his hand.

"Since everyone knows, just leaving one will do,"

Zhong Lin muttered softly, flapping the Red Flames Wings once more, flying towards another pirate.

An hour later, Zhong Lin’s figure reappeared in the skies above Furious Dragon Gorge, with a beautiful woman in his grasp.

However, this woman looked extremely miserable. Her face was pale, blood trickling from her mouth, and one of her high bosoms had collapsed, with a faint footprint imprinted on it, all her limbs broken by Zhong Lin.

Zhong Lin tossed the woman aside, flapping the Red Flames Wings to hover over Furious Dragon Gorge. Before long, he retrieved the bodies of the white-faced middle-aged man, the middle-aged woman, and the leader of the ten pirates he killed at the start.

During the battle earlier, he had no time for multitasking, and Zhong Lin hadn’t searched their corpses yet!

"Stop pretending to be dead, or soon I’ll make sure you truly die."

Zhong Lin coldly snorted at the beautiful woman.

He had no pity for beauty, moreover, this beautiful woman had just a pretty face but a heart as venomous as a viper.

Earlier, Zhong Lin checked her Storage Bracelet, containing only some elixirs and Spirit Stones necessary for cultivation. The rest of the space was filled with a variety of human skins, numbering in the thousands.

There were males and females, old and young.

Judging from the skin’s vitality and the expressions of fear and agony on the faces, it was clear these skins were peeled off while the victims were still alive.

Zhong Lin considered himself not a good person, killing foes when necessary but would never become as perverse as this woman.

If he didn’t need information about the pirate treasure from her, he would have blasted her already.

With Zhong Lin’s words, the beautiful woman dared not play any tricks, opening her eyes and looking at Zhong Lin in fear.

The Bloodthirsty Ten Pirates, who roamed the seas just a day before and were a terror to all, were now dead, disabled, or on the run. She herself became a captive, her fate unknown.

She tried to circulate her Spiritual Origin to heal her broken limbs but found it cowering in her Dantian, unable to be moved despite her efforts.

She could feel a powerful force sealing her Dantian, making the Spiritual Origin unusable. Trying to forcibly break through...

"Wow!"

The beautiful woman suddenly let out a miserable scream, spurting a mouthful of blood and collapsing to the ground, trembling and wailing in agony, her body curling into a ball, her face devoid of any beauty, twisted by pain beyond recognition.

"Feeling good? I’ve sealed your Dantian with Sword Qi. If you dare to use Spiritual Origin once, you’ll suffer the torment of being sliced by a thousand blades, unable to live or die." Zhong Lin said calmly.

"Sp-spare me, spare me."

The beautiful woman, overwhelmed by pain, tears and snot streaming down, a faint urine odor coming from below, continuously pleaded for mercy.

Zhong Lin stood there, looking down at the woman’s pathetic state, his gaze icy cold.

A quarter of an hour later, the Sword Qi finally subsided.

A quarter of an hour of torment turned the beautiful woman into a raving beggar, where was the elegance and nobility from before?

"Now I ask, you answer. I don’t like being refused, understand?"

The beautiful woman nodded hastily, her eyes filled with fear.

"Name?"

"I am Tang Ying."

"The one who escaped, what’s his name?"

Zhong Lin asked about the only one among the Ten Pirates who escaped from him, disappearing without a trace after Zhong Lin killed the others.

"He is Xiang Jian, ranked ninth among the Bloodthirsty Ten Pirates, skilled in Water Escape and Concealing Breath Secret Technique."

Zhong Lin nodded, realizing he escaped underwater, no wonder he couldn’t find him.

"Where is your treasure trove?" Zhong Lin continued to ask.

Tang Ying’s eyes flickered with Divine Light, lifting her head respectfully, "Master, I am willing to tell you everything, please spare my life."

Squinting his eyes, Zhong Lin said coldly, "You can choose not to say anything and die now, or you can take a gamble and see if I’ll spare you after I find the treasure."

As he spoke, he activated the Sword Qi sealing Tang Ying’s body, surging pain once again engulfing her.

Tang Ying screamed, continuously banging her head against the ground, pleading loudly, "Spare me, spare me, I am willing to tell, I am willing to tell!"

Afraid Zhong Lin wouldn’t believe her, Tang Ying dared not hesitate, quickly revealing the location of the Bloodthirsty Ten Pirates’ treasure while explaining it required all ten of them to bring out their keys simultaneously to open it.

The so-called key was actually a Jade Token, each of the ten wielded one, and together it was the key to the treasure, indispensable.

This was why the ten always acted together, for fear that one day one would fall and the key would be lost.

Moreover, all ten of them were Martial Artists of the Spirit Sea Realm, as long as they didn’t provoke Primordial Embryo Realm experts, they were untouchable in these seas.

This was why they were feared as the Bloodthirsty Ten Pirates.

"Master, Xiang Jian has already escaped. I’m willing to lead you to find him, although I don’t know his current whereabouts, I’ve known him for over a century and understand his character. I can surely help you find him.

The treasure is our ten’s accumulation over a hundred years. Every time we plunder, our leader would put fifty percent of the loot in the treasure, preventing us from extravagant spending and leaving traces. Over the century, the treasure contains countless Spirit Stones, elixirs, and even various secret techniques and martial arts, absolutely no less than some sects on the Luoxing Islands."

Tang Ying carefully explained, her words tempting.
