"How can I obtain more resources?" 

After a few more days, Princess Lan Yi Hua had advanced to Golden Core Stage 5. They only needed to wait for Prince Lin San to advance before they left the city. While it might be save, but if they were deprived of their Spirit Stones to stay in the city, it wouldn't take long before they had to leave.

Rather than staying here and become poor, they would rather spend their time in the forest.

The dispute was heating up and before long, the power would be established in this place. They didn't have much time left.

"Xiao."

"Yes, Xiao Hua?" Lin Xiao noticed that Princess Lan Yi Hua had walked out. After advancing to Golden Core Stage 5, she looked far more beautiful and seemed to be filled with energy. He couldn't look away from her when he saw her looking so beautiful.

If only the time was not wrong, he would have pulled her to bedroom and do the duties of a husband to his wife in bedroom.

*cough*

"There's a Phoenix Inheritance place in this ancient battlefield." Princess Lan Yi Hua smiled bitterly. "And I'm afraid that I might miss it out."

"How do you know?"

"Can't you hear the Phoenix Cry?" Princess Lan Yi Hua asked back. "Ah, it might be because of my bloodline that I can hear it."

Lin Xiao was stumped. He silently communicated with Lin Hu.

'There's phoenix cry?'

'Yes. When it's time for the inheritance to gather and prove themselves in order to become the sole inheritor, they would be able to hear the calling of the phoenix.'

Lin Xiao nodded. "In that case, we'll head over there after San finished his advancement."

"Thank you."

"Do you have to be so polite with me?"

Princess Lan Yi Hua giggled and then turned back to her room to practice.

Seeing the current Princess Lan Yi Hua, Lin Xiao felt happy too. When he met her, she was more restrained and gloomy but now, he could see that she could also smile a lot. It was refreshing to see her like this.

Time passed.

Prince Lin San advanced to Golden Core Stage 5.

"The battle for the city ownership is on the way." Lin Xiao glanced to the side and grinned. "Would you like to reap some benefit before leaving?"

The others' lips twitched when they saw the mischievous smile Lin Xiao had. Whatever plan he was concocting, it must be something that was disadvantageous for other people.

"What do you plan to do?"

"Robbing the resources that are left behind." Lin Xiao grinned.

The others looked at each other before nodding with smile on each of their faces. Cultivation required a lot of resources and naturally, if they could get more resources this way, who would say no?

They certainly wouldn't.

"Who do you want to target?"

"Dead cultivators." Lin Xiao shrugged. "Their Spatial Ring will naturally be taken later, so if we take it first, we'll be the one reaping benefits."

Prince Lin Yan nodded. It was exactly the practice of mantis stalks cicada unaware of the oriole behind. They wouldn't be offending anyone like this since they were just taking the leftovers.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The sound of fighting filled the city. Since staying in the city was safer and also gave them rooms, many people were fighting to be able to stay in the city. Those who came from higher ranked kingdom didn't mind in the slightest bit to spend some efforts so that they could take control of the city.

Besides, they could also charge people who come with Spirit Stones for their cultivation. 

"Die!"

"Gah!"

Bang!

A body fell not far from Lin Xiao and his group. His eyes lit up as he slowly muttered lightly, "Heaven and earth, please listen to my humble request. Help me take the Spatial Ring…."

'LIN XIAO!'

Inside Lin Xiao's consciousness, Lin Hu was screaming in anger. This damned brat dared to use Ancient Power just to snatch a Spatial Ring from a dead body? Did he want to use up his Ancient Power within such a short period of time?

"What?"

"Can't you use better method? If you're so afraid of getting found out, you can just do it when the other cultivators are away. Using Ancient Power just to snatch one Spatial Ring, are you insane?" Lin Hu berated Lin Xiao heavily.

He felt that Lin Xiao's brain had been roasted right now.

Lin Xiao's lips twitched. "I didn't say that I only want to take one Spatial Ring."

"What?"

The others were also watching Lin Xiao curiously when they saw him stopped talking. They hadn't made any move at all and only watched as the cultivators were fighting against each other.

Well, they were not the only one. There were many other cultivators who were hiding nearby. They were also aiming for the Spatial Rings that these cultivators left behind.

"There are many who have the same mind with Lin Xiao." Prince Lin San looked around and felt a bit bad.

"They're waiting for the place to be safer." Fu Liang pursed his lips. With his appearance that looked like women, he definitely looked like an aggrieved lady. "Do you want to wait too or do you have some other plan?"

"I can use my threads but I need to get close." Prince Lin Yan looked at Lin Xiao, who was silent.

"Xiao?"

"No need." Lin Xiao grinned. He recited once more, "Heaven and earth, please listen to my humble request. Gather all the unowned Spatial Rings in this city into my palms secretly. Prevent my secrets from leaking out and protect me from harm."

Ancient Power

The others were watching as they felt some kind of power spread from Lin Xiao. They noticed that it spread across the area and saw the Spatial Rings on the nearby corpse suddenly disappeared. 

It then appeared on Lin Xiao's hand.

Seeing that, Fu Liang's lips twitched. "Ancient Power is sick…."
