Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery
Chapter 458 - 416: The Xianmen Sect Has Abundant Experience Dealing with Sword Cultivators

"Soul Searching?"

Xu Jianian's face looked unsightly, "Doing so violates a citizen's freedom and rights."

"It's regulation."

Luo Zhongfu stated calmly without any defense.

"If there are no criminal facts found, you all will receive compensation, and your Divine Soul's privacy will be absolutely confidential. The Central Array Spirit Computer will not reveal anything, even if a Divinity Transformation Cultivator personally inquires."

"That's great."

Liu Yan, invigorated, spoke fiercely, "If even the Central Array Spirit Computer's Soul Searching finds no issue, why should we worry about conceding?"

Three days later.

"Soul Searching application approved."

Luo Zhongfu displayed the authorization document from the Xianmen Sect Court, Divine Sense locking onto the eleven cultivators of the Tianfang Group who were at the early and middle stages of Golden Pill, "Please do not resist, and if there are no problems, you will receive a large sum of compensation without any loss."

The Air-Space Master exerted tremendous pressure, descending upon the members of Xu's, warning of the consequences of refusing the command.

"You are being utterly unreasonable!"

"Xu's will remember the humiliation of this day."

Xu Jianian remained defiant, looking toward the surrounding Golden Pill Monks, "Uncles from our clan, let's make a trip then. This is just like getting Spirit Stones delivered to us. Rest assured, the family will also show its gratitude."

"Haha."

"Jianian, my nephew speaks the truth."

A Golden Pill Peak Cultivator from Xu's laughed heartily, "I was just worried about not having Spirit Stones to buy Longevity Pills, and here they come, brought right to us. It's a tremendous stroke of luck."

"Haha, giving us Spirit Stones for free."

The surrounding Xu's Foundation Builders laughed loudly, very cheerful indeed.

Xu Jianian felt greatly relieved inside and mockingly looked down upon a few people.

"Does Xu's Transmutation God truly hold such affection for the clan, to the extent of even willing to delay their own cultivation?"

Liu Yan and Luo Zhongfu, among others, felt a sinking in their hearts.

"Interesting."

Jiang Ding also revealed a smile, the magnetic sensing lines on his forehead flashing, and an Azure Flying Sword slowly emerged, with the Sword Intent of Destruction sealing off all directions.

"No, you can't without evidence..."

Luo Zhongfu became anxious.

"Kill!"

The laugh of the Golden Pill Peak Cultivator from Xu's suddenly turned serious, and, with a flutter of his sleeve, a gold-colored short rod covered in runes flew out from his cuff. In the blink of an eye, it swelled to the size of a giant pillar and thundered down towards the young man in green, intending to crush him.

"Capture him alive!"

The remaining ten Golden Pill Cultivators also roared in fury, spewing out Essence Blood and quickly unleashing their Life Treasures, attacking a single point. Various halberds, seals, and precious orbs were activated with reckless abandon, fully enclosing the area.

Just a moment before, there was laughter and tranquility, as if they were effortlessly picking up money for the New Year's.

The next moment, however, the intent to kill turned ice-cold, causing Xu Jianian to be completely stunned.

"Quick, save..."

Luo Zhongfu panicked, a step slower in his reaction, as he too entered the fray, throwing out a stone seal.

The move of Xu's Golden Pill was extremely clever.

Since the incident in the Desolate Bronze Small World, no one was unaware of the importance of the Great Sun Swordsman to the Xianmen Sect. If they could successfully capture him, they might actually be able to leverage this to get the Central Array Spirit Computer, which had never broken a promise, to make major concessions.

Not only would they save their own lives, but they might also secure the resources for Infant Formation.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

In the sky, even before Xu's Golden Pill Cultivators had made their move, swarms of hunter missiles had already descended, with dense Array Patterns appearing between them. Each one was a middle-stage Golden Pill-level Magic Missile launched by the Air-Space Group.

There were a total of eighteen groups.

Equivalent to eighteen mid-Golden Pill Cultivators taking action!

Boom!

Amidst the intense explosion, treasures such as golden pillars, halberds, seals, and orbs, which were nearly in formation, were instantly blasted away, scattering in all directions, their spiritual light dimming by a degree.

The dust settled.

"How did you detect us in advance?"

The Post-golden Alchemist of the Xu's had a grim expression on his face.

Not far away, a Bluegold Flying Sword cut through layers of explosions and shockwaves, propping open an oval-shaped Sword Qi shield that flung a young man in green hundreds of meters away, his face slightly pale.

'The Xianmen Sect's legion seems rather restrained towards me?'

Jiang Ding did not answer his question, being targeted by groups of Air-Space Group for the first time, even just the aftermath left him with a lingering sense of dread: 'It's all area damage, I wouldn't even know where to hide.'

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Ignoring the enemy's calls, another eighteen rounds of platoon-level missile Magic roared down, instantly blasting many Xu's Golden Pill Cultivators who burned their Essence Blood into fragments.

"I'm dead for sure, and you're going down with me!"

Amongst the explosions, a surviving Post-golden Alchemist from the Xu's revealed a crazed look.

Dark energy swirled in his eyes as he unleashed a diabolic life-risking secret technique, his aura swelling to match that of a Golden Pill Peak, pouring all his Mana into his Life Treasure, a golden staff.

In a flashing moment, the staff grew to the size of a mountain peak, surrounded by dark Diabolism Runes, emitting a wailing sound, becoming the legendary Uprooting Heavenly Golden Cudgel, crashing down on the tiny figure in front.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

The second wave of platoon-level missiles had already arrived, each bearing the presence of mid-Golden Pill Magic, overwhelming him, shattering the spiritual light.

"Without a fourth-order Array Master and Golden Pill Cultivator commanding the Air-Space Master, it falls short of the quasi-Nascent Soul Stage, unable to instantly kill Post-golden Alchemists."

Jiang Ding shook his head.

Boom!

The Bluegold Flying Sword, carrying with it a Law-Breaking aura, tore through the air and disappeared.

As the dust cleared, the dim and lusterless treasures and the Xu's Post-golden Alchemist with skin full of withered cracks were revealed. He wanted to do something else, but a Bluegold Flying Sword pierced through his brow, leaving a hole that was clear from front to back.

He opened his mouth, his body disintegrating into a cloud of flesh and white ashes, devoid of any life force.

The Taiqing Flying Sword circled back, bringing with it a Golden Pill full of cracks and an almost transparent Divine Soul, affixing a sealing Talisman, and placing them inside a Jade Box.

All actions were purely instinctual, perfected to the extreme.

"I'm willing to surrender!"

"I want to make a contribution!"

On the brink of life and death, two injured mid-Golden Pill Cultivators of the Xu's were first grievously wounded, then bound tightly by the Economic Investigation Department's Golden Pill, with Talismans affixed to prevent suicide.

A swath of Taiyin Sword Intent Sword Qi struck the dazed Xu Jianian, sealing his Divine Soul and Mana.

"This time, it's far from something that can end in five years."

Jiang Ding said indifferently.

"It's you again, I'm really fucking unlucky."

Xu Jianian's wooden eyes finally moved as he cried and laughed, "I came to gild my career, I've only been in the position of general manager for two years, I didn't have the chance to do anything."

"It's so unfair!"

"Pah!"

A mid-Golden Pill Cultivator from the Xu's being led away spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva in anger upon hearing these words: "All the good stuff is enjoyed by you, the direct lineage, while we, the collateral lineage, are left with the risky and life-threatening tasks."

"You damn thing, are you still claiming to be wronged?!"

"I want to report this, all this was forced upon us by the coercive language of Immortal Tianfang, it's not my intention, I'm the one who's truly wronged!"

Chains of Magic descended from the Air-Space Group like twisting black snakes, binding everyone within Tianfang Group, detaining, and dragging them towards the direction of the Xianmen Sect prison.
