Against Heaven's Will

"Huh? Help yourself?"

The elder and the guards got confused at Wuying's words but she didn't wait for them to understand. Patting their chests, Wuying and Yi's dresses disappeared, revealing their tight black leather gear, perfect for swift battles.

Poof!

Yi's body suddenly exploded into thousands of stars, filling up the whole lobby while Wuying vanished from the spot. At that moment, the Elder realized something was wrong but it was too late.

Ahh!

Screams filled the lobby as Yi appeared behind the guards, slashing at their legs which instantly put them on the floor with blood gushing out. Instead of falling on the floor, it transformed midair, flying towards the Elder where Wuying appeared, her daggers already cutting at his wrist.

He couldn't even draw his sword in time before his wrist got covered in blood and his body froze completely, losing control over his muscles.

"This is a robbery. If you want to live, be good and don't do anything stupid," Wuying announced as she extended her hand to the Staff of the treasury.

With their pitiful cultivation, their bodies twitched as blood inside their bodies went under Wuying's control. Even if they wanted to call for help, they couldn't even move. All guards had their arms tied behind their back as Earth Qi handcuffs glued their wrists together. Naturally, all their Storage Rings were already collected by her as well, not forgetting this little bit of change.

The robbery was a robbery, no one was spared.

The only ones left for the girls to take down were the merchants but they didn't really have the time to do so.

Thud!

The doors to the building shut down, leaving the merchants in the dark. The only unlucky ones who were in the lobby were already taken down by Wuying, laying on the floor.

"Lead us to the Treasury and open it like a good boy," Wuying ordered as the Elder's body lifted in the air but the Elder wasn't cooperative.

He was frowning and constantly glaring at Wuying and when his lips got unlocked, he cursed at her, "Fuck you! No matter what you do to me, I will not open the Treasury!"

"Oh, really?" Wuying grinned at that response. "What if we torture all the staff and guards, cutting off their fingers one by one. I wonder how will you react when you hear the screams of the ladies you work with."

"The well-being of the Sect is more important. You will get nothing out of me," the Elder replied firmly, continuing to gaze coldly at Wuying. "You will die a dog death when Sect Master arrives."

"We will see about that," Wuying replied, looking up at Yi. "Sister, can you do the honors? Let's see how long can the resist."

Yi nodded and exploded into stars once again, using her Star Shaper ability to appear behind one of the Staff ladies and picked up the most beautiful one of them all, dragging her towards the Elder.

"Nooooooooo! Please! Ahhhhhh! Help me!" the Staff screamed, her face horrified, already sullied by tears but the Elder's lips were tied, not stopping them.

Yi threw her on the floor in front of them as a stone pillar burst from the floor. When the Staff's wrists got gripped and placed on the pillar, the screams just didn't want to stop.

"Do it," Wuying commanded and Yi put her sword against one of the ladies' fingers, ready to cut it.

The Elder finally couldn't stand the sight and looked away, making the Staff lady lose all hope.

"Ahhh!!" She screamed when Yi raised the sword to cut down, ready to lose her finger but Wuying called out in the last moment, stopping it, "Wait, I have a better idea."

The elder looked back and paled when he saw Wuying's dagger aiming at his crotch.

"Let's cut off his little friend and then force him to eat it," Wuying suggested and Yi acted immediately aiming her sword in between the Elder's legs.

"Do it."

The result was obvious.

"W-wait! I will do it!"

———

"Ladies to the left! Guys to the right! Pull out all your treasures and Storage Rings! Anyone who dilly-dallies will lose their head!" Xiao Wen ordered happily as she dictated the sides with her flaming sword.

The whole caravan was already under their control as the fifty bandits began claiming all the portable goods. Spirit Artefacts, Spirit Herbs, Spirit Rings, and even ID Cards. They took everything they got their hands on, cleaning the caravan completely.

On the ground, multiple disciples in the Red Cloud Sect's uniforms were stuck in the ice with just their heads sticking out. They didn't kill anyone so far with their main target being diversion and robbery.

"You are not going to get away with this!" One of the Senior Disciples shouted at them but Princess Shan quickly shut him down, tightening the ice around his neck.

"If you don't shut up, I will cover your heads as well. I wonder how long can you hold your breath."

The man quickly zipped his mouth but his expression told it all.

"Don't worry, he is just salty that a bunch of God Stage cultivators beat them. Honestly, I thought Immortal Stage cultivators with so much more Qi in them would be scary to deal with but it seems they still lack in the Arts department," Xiao Wen called out sarcastically before gazing at the distance.

They could already see a group of black dots coming from the distance. It was time to retreat.

"Blake! Take everyone back to the base!" Xiao Wen called out as she and Princess Shan flew up, ready to face the newcomers. "We will stall them."

"Yes!" Blake acknowledged, flying up with others quickly doing the same. "Follow me!"

On the way, Xiao Wen already explained the plan so all of them were familiar with it. They left with all the goods while leaving the two devils alone.

Meanwhile, the merchants didn't know what to do, looking at each other as if to see if someone was brave enough to escape first. If they all spread in all directions, they could escape easily. There were just two girls left. In the end, no one moved, gazing at the incoming rescue team.

Too bad, the closer their help was, the bigger grin appeared on Xiao Wen's face.

"I don't see any Celestial Cultivators. Let's have some fun then."
