I became the Open Source Saint Ancestor in the Cultivation World

"You'd be that kind?"

In response to Ma Ke's suggestion, one of the Heavenly Puppet Sect members sneered.

Ma Ke didn't explain further, only saying, "Do you have a choice? Either hand over the storage bag, or die."

As it spoke, the dragon lowered its body, its massive head staring intently at the crowd.

"Senior Brother Wang, just... just trust him this once." Upon seeing this, another disciple's heart trembled, and he quickly advised.

Senior Brother Wang sighed softly and nodded slightly.

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief and quickly threw out the storage bag. Ma Ke caught it, transferred everything inside into his own storage bag, and then threw the empty storage bag back to them.

Then, he looked at Senior Brother Wang.

Senior Brother Wang lowered his eyes and reluctantly handed over his storage bag.

However, Ma Ke did not spare the magical artifacts they were still using, and made them hand them over one by one.

After draining the men dry, Ma Ke didn't hesitate and quickly flew away.

The four were slightly taken aback, still somewhat unable to believe that the other party would really keep their promise.

Although this is an act of robbery, it is considered quite principled in this secret realm.

Under normal circumstances, when members of different sects encounter other sects, they will certainly not hold back and will inevitably rob them of their belongings, but this will inevitably lead to great enmity.

Although their faces were concealed, there was no guarantee they wouldn't be exposed. To prevent future troubles, it was better to kill them all at once.

Therefore, Ma Ke's act of releasing the people actually made him appear noble and virtuous.

Of course, besides the fact that he wasn't particularly bloodthirsty, he did this to avoid provoking public anger.

Because he wasn't planning to do just this one job, nor was he targeting just one sect.

If too many people are killed, it will inevitably provoke the anger of several sects. If several Nascent Soul cultivators join forces and use some unimaginable means to thoroughly investigate, it will be like shooting oneself in the foot.

Through his sparring with Qimen Valley and the disciples of the Heavenly Puppet Sect, Ma Ke gained a clear understanding of his own strength, realizing that he was basically invincible in the Qi Refining stage.

The reason why I was able to fight that person from the Giant Sword Pavilion to a standstill was probably because that person had some kind of fortuitous encounter. He was a rare Qi Refining stage expert, and might even be an old monster over a hundred years old, as could be judged from the fact that he kept asking me my age.

Moreover, this person was clearly very confident in his own strength. Even when his true energy was almost exhausted, he did not retreat. Even before he breathed his last, he asked if this was the strongest opponent he had ever encountered. It is evident how much this defeat was beyond his expectations.

This only strengthened Ma Ke's resolve to continue his scheme to make money, so he returned to his previous route to track down that fellow disciple team.

With a clear direction, it's only a matter of time before Ma Ke catches up with them.

Half a day later, Ma Ke spotted them, but it was clear that this group had not yet been targeted by other sects.

Even so, Ma Ke had no intention of backing down, because he only wanted money and didn't want to kill anyone. He didn't care if you were from the same sect or not. He didn't believe that if other fellow disciples were him, they would refrain from robbing him.

Moreover, his current identity as a disciple of Qimen Valley makes it even more legitimate for him to seize what belongs to Ziyang Sect.

So, after touching her, he launched an attack without hesitation.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the Ziyang Sect team, led by two Qi Refining Perfection experts and three Qi Refining Ninth Level experts, was completely plundered by Ma Ke.

After a quick inventory of their spoils, they promptly turned to the nearest Ziyang Sect team.

This team was rather unlucky; they were targeted by a group from the Heavenly Gate and wiped out before Ma Ke could even arrive.

Seeing the corpses of his fellow disciples torn apart by the insect beasts, Ma Ke felt sorry for them. If they had met him, at least their lives could have been saved, and they wouldn't have suffered such a terrible fate.

"These people should have left not long ago. As a disciple of the Ziyang Sect, I must avenge my fellow disciples." After a moment's thought, Ma Ke gave chase without hesitation.

Finally, they found traces of these people in a dense forest.

Just as Ma Ke was about to sneak over and launch a surprise attack, a chirping sound of insects suddenly rang out.

"Who is it?" All the disciples of the Heavenly Imperial Sect stood up and looked towards Ma Ke.

Ma Ke knew that the insect was probably used by the other side as a lookout. Since it had been discovered and there was no way to launch a sneak attack, he had no choice but to attack openly.

"We only saw one person from Qimen Valley. Let's kill him first."

As the melodious flute music began, a buzzing sound came from afar, and Ma Ke saw a large swarm of finger-sized flying ants rushing towards him.

Normally, fire-attribute spells would be best for dealing with this kind of thing, but since he couldn't reveal his identity as a disciple of the Ziyang Sect, Ma Ke could only continue to use earth-attribute spells.

He quickly formed several hand seals, then suddenly lifted the ground, tearing off a layer of soil and uprooting many large trees, before swiftly sweeping it towards the oncoming ant swarm.

The ant swarm ahead was reduced by more than half in an instant. Several Tianyu Sect disciples felt a pang of heartache, because their spirit beasts and spirit insects had also suffered considerable losses in the previous battle with the Ziyang Sect team.

Unlike injuries, there's no way to easily recover in a secret realm.

Therefore, they immediately mobilized the ant colony behind them to disperse as much as possible and continue flying towards Ma Ke.

Ma Ke frowned slightly, quickly formed a magic seal, and with his hands constantly drawing lines, he soon wove a net made of earth and stones in front of him, which then directly enveloped him.

Some flying ants swarmed over, and unable to squeeze through the mesh, they began to bite directly with their mouthparts.

As the number of flying ants on the web increased, with a loud bang, the earthen web exploded, transforming into countless sharp arrows that pierced through the flying ants, reducing the ant colony by half once again.

Ma Ke quickly covered himself with a layer of earthen netting, and the flying ants no longer dared to swarm him. Any small number that did swarm were quickly eliminated by the giant palm and earthen arrows that materialized from them.

Seeing that the flying ant swarm no longer posed a threat to Ma Ke, several Tianyu Sect disciples had no choice but to release the spirit beasts that had been injured in the previous battle: a spirit tiger, a spirit leopard, several spirit rats, and several spirit boars with tusks.

The spirit tiger, spirit leopard, and spirit pig quickly rushed towards Ma Ke from several directions, while Ma Ke immediately conjured several earth dragons to meet them.

Then, he quickly formed several hand seals, pointed at the ground, and with a few squeaking sounds, several spirit rats that had burrowed underground to launch a sneak attack were sent flying by the ground spikes.

Before they even hit the ground, several giant hands reached out from the ground, grabbed their bodies, and slammed them down hard, causing several Tianyu Sect disciples in the distance to feel a pang of pain.

Meanwhile, the earth dragons had gained the upper hand, and Ma Ke quickly condensed several large palms, pressing down the spirit beasts one after another.

"What do you intend to do?" One of them asked hastily, seeing that Ma Ke did not kill the spirit beasts directly.

"I only want your money, not your life. Hand over the storage bag and I'll leave," Ma Ke said decisively.
