North State, White Bone Mountain
No one knew the original name of White Bone Mountain, but ever since someone named the White Bone King came here, it has been called White Bone Mountain.
White Bone Mountain is not large, with a circumference of about three to four hundred miles. There are streams in the mountains that converge and form a major river within the North State, spanning nearly a thousand miles.
White Bone Mountain is also one of the few areas in the North State that has spiritual veins. Although the level of the spiritual veins is not high, they are highly valuable in the North State.
At this moment, outside White Bone Mountain, the Lin family and their companions gathered their energy. Lin Batian activated a prohibition to conceal everyone’s presence.
Master, this is White Bone Mountain. It is occupied by the bandit leader, White Bone King. Originally from the southern province, White Bone King obtained a book called the ‘White Bone Secret Scriptures’ and went down a wicked path. Unable to stay in the southern province any longer, he came to Qing State, Bing State, and other areas in the central province to cause trouble.
Because of his martial arts techniques, which require killing and refining bones, his methods are extremely cruel. He is also wanted in all the provinces. There were rumors that he was killed, but in the end, he escaped to North State and took over White Bone Mountain, declaring himself as White Bone King.
White Bone King didn’t waste his time here. He gathered thousands of followers and established control over a large area. He is one of the strongest bandits in North State… he even…
A member of the Lin family explained to Lin Batian about the truth of White Bone Mountain and also mentioned the origins of White Bone King. White Bone Mountain is extremely powerful, and White Bone King himself is at the Soul Changing cultivation level. He also has seven Nascent Soul followers, making him a tyrant in North State."Then let’s go after White Bone King. Yue’er and I will go in first, while the rest of you watch from the outside and take care of anyone who tries to escape."
Lin Batian nodded. In North State, the strongest cultivation level was Soul Changing Period, which didn’t frighten him. He believed that there were even stronger individuals in North State, possibly having achieved the Tao. If that was the case, they would have to run away.
If there is no one who has achieved the Tao, only those who have reached the Void Achieving stage, Lin Batian would not be afraid. He believed that with his strength, he would already have some opponents among those who have reached Void Achieving.
Everyone nodded and quickly spread out. Lin Batian and Xiao Lingyue, who had just arrived yesterday, entered White Bone Mountain. White Bone Mountain was protected by layers of formations, which should theoretically be able to stop powerful enemies. However, they were unlucky enough to encounter Lin Batian, who had cheated the system, so ordinary formations couldn’t stop his Spatiotemporal Mirror ability.
"Boom"
With just one move, Lin Batian sent White Bone King flying with a spear, causing chaos in the entire White Bone Mountain.
"Lin Lang, let Yue’er give it a try."
"You are no match for the White Bone King, he has already reached the Soul Changing advanced stage."
"Yue’er knows that, but Yue’er wants to know her own limits. Yue’er doesn’t want to always rely on Lin Lang’s protection and wants to share some of his pressure."
"Alright, you go and give it a try. Don’t worry, I’ll be here with you, you will be fine."
Lin Batian nodded, knowing that Xiao Lingyue didn’t have much fighting experience, so it would be good for her to practice.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Lingyue immediately rushed towards the White Bone King. At this moment, the White Bone King revealed his true form. He was extremely skinny, like a black skeleton, with no trace of whiteness.
The White Bone King held a bone sword and transformed into his powerful Soul Changing Dharma Appearance: a huge white skeletal dharma body exuding a dark aura. This dark aura posed a great threat to cultivators, as it could corrode their spiritual energy and greatly increase the White Bone King’s strength.
Xiao Lingyue also transformed into her dharma body for the first time in battle. Her dharma body was a giant made of ice and snow. As soon as the giant appeared, White Bone Mountain was covered in ice, turning weaker cultivators into ice sculptures.
The poisonous gas of the White Bone King was restrained by the ice and snow, and they quickly fought each other. Lin Batian watched the battlefield and casually said. I am a Void Achieving practitioner and I have come to recruit and surrender you. Those who surrender will be spared from death…
As soon as Lin Batian spoke, chaos erupted inside White Bone Mountain. Some people who were preparing to escape suddenly stopped in their tracks. As a thief, it didn’t matter who their leader was as long as they were powerful and could get their share of the loot.
Some people continued to run, while others stayed behind to watch. However, no one attacked Lin Batian because anyone who could survive in North State was a normal person, not a fool.
Outside White Bone Mountain, Lin Die had already intercepted the fleeing thieves with his men. Lin Jiang also joined in, but he told Small Shadiao to stay close and fight alongside him.
It was unfair for one golden core with a fourth-order beast pet to fight against another golden core. In just a moment, Lin Jiang gained two extra storage bags.
"Go help Lin Die."
Lin Jiang saw that it was almost over and withdrew from the fight. He avoided fighting if he could, and survival was more important. Lin Die was struggling against three opponents, so Lin Jiang asked Small Shadiao for help.
Inside White Bone Mountain, the White Bone King unleashed all his abilities. He not only had the Soul Changing Dharma Appearance, but also a Combat Puppet formed by the convergence of countless white bones. He even activated the formation of White Bone Mountain. With these three combined, Xiao Lingyue could only defend and couldn’t even counterattack. His face became even paler.
The White Bone King’s attacks were fierce. His main goal now was to capture Xiao Lingyue and threaten Lin Batian. It was his only chance of survival.
Lin Batian saw that Xiao Lingyue was no longer able to hold on, so he quickly took action and used only one spear to smash the Combat Puppet.
"Gather."
As the Combat Puppet exploded, the White Bone King immediately activated a secret spell, causing the scattered bones to come together again.
"Infuse soul."
The White Bone King shouted again, and a small gourd flew from his waist, creating an illusion as it landed inside the Combat Puppet. The empty eye sockets of the Combat Puppet instantly ignited two flames.
"Here comes the sword."
The Combat Puppet immediately changed, waving its hand to summon hundreds of bone swords that formed a huge flying sword in the air, slashing towards Lin Batian. Its strength was not inferior to that of a regular late-stage Soul Changing warrior.
"Interesting."
This was the first time Lin Batian had seen this kind of secret technique, and he found it quite interesting.
"Yue’er, come, you go freeze that Combat Puppet."
Lin Batian quickly switched positions with Xiao Lingyue. Lin Batian faced the White Bone King, while Xiao Lingyue went to freeze the Combat Puppet. If they kept attacking, who knows how long it would take to consume the energy of that Combat Puppet. It was better to freeze it directly.
"White Bone Escape Technique."
The White Bone King was not foolish enough to fight Lin Batian head-on. He already knew Lin Batian’s power, so when he saw Lin Batian coming, he immediately used the escape technique. He transformed into hundreds of white bones, shooting out in all directions, trying to escape.
"Runs very fast."
Lin Batian quickly attacked, knocking down most of the white bones. However, there were still a few that managed to escape. He had to admire the talent of this White Bone King. He was decisive.
"Surrender."
Lin Batian didn’t chase after the White Bone King. Just a Soul Changing couldn’t cause much trouble. If the White Bone King was still causing trouble in North State, there would be plenty of opportunities to kill him.
The remaining bandits of White Bone Mountain all surrendered, even happily. They had a stronger boss now.
The formation opened up, and Lin Die and the others all entered. They surrendered the remaining people, cleaned up the battlefield, and collected the loot, keeping themselves busy and happy.
"We are so poor, we almost made a loss."
One day later, Lin Die counted the loot and thought to herself. She already knew the situation. Most of the wealth of White Bone Mountain was with the White Bone King himself, and there wasn’t really any treasure trove. After a battle, they almost made a loss.
"Looks like it was my mistake. We need to chase and kill the White Bone King."
"Don’t worry, Head of the Family. We still have the rest of the members from White Bone Mountain. Once we take control of the White Bone King’s resources, we won’t worry about money anymore."
"You’re right. The next step is to subdue other bandits as quickly as possible. After we have control over these members, we need to come up with a new name. We can’t continue using the Lin family’s name."
Lin Batian nodded. Everyone needed to change their identities. They would now operate under the name of bandits.
