Female Novel
Chapter 851
The five figures cloaked in black seemed to smirk when Gravis asked them what they wanted. This made Gravis even surer thatthey didn't come to have a nice and decent talk. Their appearance didn't particularly radiate trustworthiness and kindness.
"500,000 Immortal Stones for each of you," the person at the front said with mirth. "After you pay, we will leave and not troubleyou again."
Gravis lifted an eyebrow. "So, you're just bandits?" Gravis asked."We call ourselves freelancers, but yes, you would call us bandits," another one said.Gravis looked at the strung-up torsos at the back. "And if | don't pay, | will probably join them, right?"
"You're a smart boy,” the leader said. "Yes, those who don't pay will join us on our altruistic quest. We like to take money from therich and give it to the poor, which is us, of course."
Gravis blinked once in boredom. "Why go through all of this? Why not just kill the ones that don't pay? You would get all theirwealth that way."
“We're not stupid, boy," the leader said with an arrogant tone. "Bad things happen to Cultivators that kill the weaker ones. As longas we don't kill them, everything's fine."
"What if | don't have the money?" Gravis asked.
"You have the money," the leader said with a smirk. "500,000 Immortal Stones isn't much for an Immortal King such as yourself.However, on the chance that you are truly so poor, you will just have to accompany us until we are finished with our altruisticquest. However, that might take a while.”
This made a lot of sense now. These five people didn't torture these other Cultivators out of cruelty but to convince them to finallypay. It was impossible to look into someone's Spirit Space without risking a soul battle on the enemy's home turf. Additionally,they would need to have a powerful Cultivator that knew several Laws regarding the Deep Wood Element.
If the Immortal Kings had the money but acted like they didn't, they simply had to live like this for thousands of years or until theydecided to pay. If they didn't have the money, they couldn't prove that they didn't have it. After all, the bandits didn't know whatwas inside the Cultivator's Spirit Space without risking a counterattack inside the Cultivator's Spirit Space.
“If you want, you can also buy the freedom of these poor sods behind me," the leader said as he gestured to the ten hangingtorsos. "We don't care who pays, as long as someone pays.”
"Stop wasting time," another one interjected. "Maybe he already called for help and is only waiting for someone to arrive.""Sorry," the leader said with a smirk. "Sometimes, | get lost when | talk to a customer."
Then, the leader looked at Gravis again. "So, what's your choice? You have five seconds to decide. Otherwise, we will take it asano."
Gravis wasn't worried at all since it wasn't hard to feel their Cultivation. Their cloaks hid their appearance, but they purposefullyshowed their aura. After all, if the enemy didn't know the bandits’ power, they were more likely to attack. The bandits wanted tomake some easy money, not fight.
The hanging torsos were either Early Minor Circulation Immortal Kings or Mid Minor Circulation Immortal Kings. Meanwhile, allfive of these bandits were Late Minor Circulation Immortal Kings. No wonder that they said that they wouldn't kill their"customers". Their customers were exclusively weaker than them with a numerical disadvantage.
This was obviously not a fight for tempering. This was only a one-sided robbery."Let me deal with this," Gravis said to Siral.Siral bowed respectfully.
These poor bandits sure were unlucky. They hadn't met one but two Cultivators that could kill them easily. Gravis was only anEarly Minor Circulation Immortal King but had an insane Battle Strength. Meanwhile, Siral was using his Law of Humility to alsoappear like an Early Minor Circulation Immortal King.
Siral wasn't very good in direct confrontations, but that was in the context of the Core Region and fighting someone on his level.Fighting someone one level below him was not an issue as long as the enemy wasn't some incredible genius. Additionally, theMinor Circulation and Major Circulation were separated by two battle levels. Siral would have no issue in dealing with them inless than ten seconds.
"Time's up!" the leader shouted as everyone took out their weapons. "Welcome to the party!"novelbin
After that, all five of them split up and surrounded Gravis and Siral in some kind of battle formation. Several different Elementsappeared on their weapons as they readied their attacks.
WHOOOOOM!
And then, Gravis activated his Will-Aura, and all five of them were suppressed by over 40%.
These five bandits were only two levels above Gravis, and Gravis had the Will-Aura of a Late Major Circulation Immortal King.WHOOOOOM!
And then, Gravis used his Major Law of Suppression.
The bandits felt like their bodies were surrounded by incredibly hard metal. It was so very hard to move!
They had been suppressed by 90%!
WHOOOOOM!
And then, Gravis activated his Law of Storm's Pressure. The surroundings were compressed, making it far more difficult for themto move. They were now suppressed by 94%.
CRRRRR!
A Frost Domain appeared, which quickly entered their bodies. Their joints and muscles became rigid as they started to freezeover.
All five of them tried to move, but their movements were already far too slow to break the growing ice. Breaking such a kind ofsuppression required one to continually move their body to break the ice before too much of it gathered. However, with their slowmovements, this was impossible.
In just a second, their joints and muscles were completely frozen. Of course, they were still alive since they were Immortal Kings.Something like this wasn't enough to kill them.
"Spare us!" the leader transmitted with his Spirit in panic.
The other four also pleaded as best as they could. They offered all their belongings to Gravis. They were willing to do everythingfor him!
Gravis was a bit interested in that offer, but not overly much.
The Energy of their being was worth more than their wealth. Additionally, he would get their wealth anyway.Gravis lifted a fist and opened it.
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
And lightning destroyed all the bandits.
The lightning quickly vanished into nothingness. Gravis retrieved their lightning into his Life Ring to hide his ability to absorbothers from Siral. Asecond Gravis was quickly created inside Gravis' Life Ring out of all the gathered lightning. Then, that Gravisentered Gravis' Spirit Space and fused with the actual Gravis.
With this short move, Gravis was now close to becoming a Mid Minor Circulation Immortal King. Only a little bit was left, butGravis wouldn't break through now. He still needed to temper himself against Siral's tribulation opponent.
Ashower of wealth appeared as the belongings of the bandits were ejected into the world, and Gravis gathered everything upwith his Spirit Space.
There were around eight million Immortal Stones in their belongings, quite a big haul. However, just as expected, their Energywas worth more.
How many Immortal Stones would Gravis need to go from an Early Minor Circulation Immortal King to a Mid Minor CirculationImmortal King?
Around 20 million.
The bandits’ bodies had given Gravis the equivalent of around 18 million Immortal Stones while also handing him eight millionnormal ones.
Like this, Gravis had earned around 26 million Immortal Stones.
The torsos also fell to the ground, but Gravis ignored them. An Immortal King wouldn't die from such a fall. They wouldn't evenbe injured. The poison would probably vanish slowly, and even if it didn't, their bodies would heal on their own as long as no oneelse decided to injure them further.
Gravis had no interest in getting acquainted with these unfortunate people.
So, why did all of this happen?
Did the bandits have bad Karmic Luck? Was Gravis in luck this time?No.

So, why did these bandits have this misfortune of running into Gravis? This could only be attributed to bad luck, right?Kind of, but that wasn't the reason.
The reason why they had thisgeioue was peas obths mKarmic ek of thbinebptives. Thesetda bhp ured people had average orslightly above-average Karmic Luck.The content is on NovelDrama.Org!Read the latest chapter there!
However, there were ten of them versus five of the bandits.
This meant that the ten captors had collectively far more Karmic Luck than the bandits.One last reason was Gravis' own lack of Karmic Luck.
Was running into a group of five bandits two levels above one's own Cultivation level luck?Of course not!
Who would call something like that luck!?
Over 99% of Cultivators would call something like this a calamity! It was already incredibly difficult to fight two levels aboveoneself, and there were five of them!
It was simply Gravis' own power that allowed him to turn this case of bad luck into good luck.
Gravis got reminded of the wordsthat his father had spoken to himbefore Gravis hadileft fo tke Welworld. “NatGthers use their KarmicLuck to gather resources and thensimply kill them. Look at it like raisingpigs." The content is onNovelDrama.Org! Read the latestchapter there!
Today, Gravis had benefitted from the Karmic Luck of the ten captives, and he wasn't sure if something like this had everhappened to him before.
"Huh, is this how it is to have Karmic Luck?’ Gravis thought. 'Some suicidal idiots just charge at you to hand you all their wealth.’‘| could get used to this.’
Gravis gestured to the southeast with his head, and Siral bowed respectfully again.
SHING! SHING!
And then, both of them continued on their journey.
