A Cultivation Tale: The Godly Punisher

Chapter 318: The quick theft

In the street as they were walking, Alex looked at Layla and said "Can you give me a minute, there is something I want to do"

Layla looked at him surprised and said "No. I am not going to give you even half of a second. If you go for a second now, you might not come back until many days later."

"Come on, I want to do something that would benefit us both" Alex said.

"Oh really? May I know what that is?" Layla asked.

"Na. I would like to keep that a secret." Alex said with a smile.

"Hmm. Okay. You can go. I would find a place to stay and wait for you. I just hope you wouldn't be gone for a long time again." Layla said.

"Nah. I won't. I would be back very soon I promise. And you don't need to go anywhere. Just wait for me here. I would be back before you can even blink your eyes ten times" Alex said.

"Haha! Alright. You can be on your way then" Layla grinned and said.

Alex nodded with a smile in his face.

Then he shot off in a certain direction. And since he wore treasure-boots that can amplify his speed using the circulation of speedforce energy within it, Alex dashed at a speed that could be said to be more than a thousand times the peak speed of a cheetah.

Many minutes later, Alex got to the destination that he had in mind.

Then with a mighty kick towards the gate of where he appeared at, a loud bang sound rang out and the gate was knocked flying into the distance.

Once he kicked the gate flying away, he shot into the place. And immediately he appeared at the field at a ghostly speed, he instantly activated his dad's spatial necklace which produced an immense spatial movement power that entirely enveloped few of the high-grade, beast-carriage vehicles on the field and abruptly teleported them into the necklace.

Once he was done with that, he shot away again in the direction that he left Layla behind.

When the bang sound rang out in the instant that Alex's strong leg connected with the gate, everyone became greatly startled. While the others who were mortals living around and in the building where the field could be found behind, were tremendously jolted from what they were doing with fear occupying the entirety of their hearts. Then before they could even gather to know what caused that sound, Alex had long dashed away. So no one could see what he did. However, they would discover the disappearances of the beast-drawn carriages later.

Few minutes later, he appeared at the spot that he left Layla behind. It wasn't even up to twenty minutes that he had finished what he wanted to do and come back.

Once he arrived, since he was moving at tremendous speed, he brought with him a lot of high-speed air currents that caused Layla's gown to strongly flutter in the wind that it could almost rip away from her body. Same with her hair which fluttered in the wind like she was flying at a great velocity through the sky.

Layla was shocked by the sudden, strong wind currents that could almost knock her off her feet. Then when she looked to see what caused the abrupt, seemingly tumultuous air, she saw that Alex had appeared in front of her.

"That was... quick" She said.

"I know. Didn't I tell you? I told you I would be back before you can even blink your eyes ten times" Alex said with a smile.

Layla then looked at the boots that he wore and saw many voidstones attached to it.

'Wow!' She couldn't help but utter within.

This was her first time seeing a treasure-boot. But she wouldn't be that amazed if was only a treasure-boot. But seeing so many voidstones plugged into it caused her to have a feeling of intense amazement.

'But where did he get this from? This guy...' She couldn't help but question herself within and be further, greatly impressed by him.

'That's one of the reasons why he's so strong, even among higher-level cultivators. Since he can have this kind of boot-type treasure, that shows how strong and powerful he is. He must have certainly gotten it and presumably many other cool things from the legacy ground that he gone to in the past. I truly, really found a special gem amongst the hundreds of other blinding gems around. I am happy I did everything in my power to become one of his woman.' Layla said within as she looked at Alex with a seriously impressed look in her eyes.

"Come with me" Alex said.

Layla nodded.

After finding a place that was well hidden from view, he produced one of the high-grade, beast-pulled carriages that he took from the carriage park.

Swoosh!

It appeared before he and Layla who then rapidly developed a look of deep astonishment in her eyes.

"Don't... don't tell me you got this from the carriage park?" She asked like she was out of breath.

"Where would I get such? Of course it's from the carriage park." Alex said with a smile.

Then he continued "Hop in. Let's go to the legacy ground."

Layla after she got a grip on her reeling mind nodded her head and did as Alex told her.

Alex opened the door of the carriage for her, while she smiled at Alex for the sweet thing that he did.

"So, where to Madame?" Alex asked with a smile when he got to the carriage driver's seat.

Layla smiled.

"To your fantasy land" She replied.

Alex smiled.

"Alright Madame. To my fantasy land it's." Alex said with a grin.

Then the wild beasts pulling the carriage shot away in the direction that Alex wanted them to move in.

Ancient Heavenly Cauldron academy...

"That bastard should be there already, right?" Lenna asked her brother.

"I am not sure. But let's still wait for sometime. I want us to appear when they are receiving the legacy. We would then destroy him" Maximilian said.

"Hmm. What about the girl he went with to the legacy ground?" Lenna asked with an inexplicable glow in her eyes.

"Haha. That is my personal sex slave. But after I have gotten all the pleasure that I can get from her, I would kill her. I can't waste my time on some useless bitch that I have sexually devoured to the last drop. Hahaha!" Maximilian said and cackled like he was a demon.

Not long, the beast-drawn carriage arrived many feet before the Moonglow lake.

Then Alex and Layla both came down from the carriage to appear in front of the lake that was silvery in color. Also, it was surprisingly frigid as a bitingly cold temperature emitted from it. If a mortal neared this lake, there was no telling if that mortal wouldn't instantly turn into a solid ice statue.

"Wow. Why is it so cold?" Layla asked with surprise in her tone as she circulated the realm-energy that she cultivated around her body to fight off the invasive, terrible coldness that lingered in the atmosphere because of the lake.

"There could be a reason. I am not sure." Alex said.

Still looking at Layla, he said "Should we dive in?"

"Yes! Let's dive in" Layla immediately said with a lovable smile.
