Seeing this, Obsidian slapped Numa Yu across the face. "You're really something, trying to kill A-Jiu. Have you forgotten who he is, or how you grew up?"

Numakoshi's head was knocked to one side, and he didn't say anything.

"Without the Venerable One's promotion, do you think you would have achieved your current cultivation level? You're nothing but a worm in the mud, yet you dare to touch the young master, you ungrateful wretch!" Obsidian kept cursing and kicking him.

Chong Jiu looked back at the flying object hovering in mid-air and knew that Shu Jianyue's spiritual power was here.

He walked over and took a look at the thing, his brows furrowing slightly. There was some of his father's scales on it.

Thinking of something, he looked at Numako and said, "You stole those missing Taizun scales."

Obsidian looked at Numako, and without needing a reply, he was certain it was him.

He interrogated all the people who had entered the treasure pavilion and confirmed that none of them had stolen anything. At the time, he wondered who else could it be but them.

Now I know, no matter how much you guard against it, it's hard to guard against a thief within your own family.

Shu Jianyue used her mental energy to condense a palm and slapped Numa Yu hard across the other side of his face.

The crisp sound stunned all three people present.

Then, Chong Jiu's lips curled up in a smile.

Obsidian looked up at Chong Jiu and asked, "Did you do that?"

Chong Jiu shook his head. "It's her."

Obsidian's eyelids twitched. Was he showing off his wife?

He glared at Chong Jiu before asking, "What should we do with him?"

Chongjiu looked at Numayu, paused for a moment, and said, "Ask him, he won't say anything. Just kill him."

"You... killed him?" Obsidian looked at him in astonishment.

Chong Jiu looked at him, "Otherwise, can you keep him locked up?"

“Even if it’s a seal, it will be broken sooner or later. He has no remorse, so keeping him around is just a threat.”

After Chong Jiu finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Yu and said, "Moreover, I was tricked into sealing my cultivation and being trapped in a dark cave, and he deserves a lot of credit for that."

"Everything Wujie did must have been instigated by him."

"Kill them."

Obsidian looked at Swamp Cart and said, "Fine, I'll listen to you. Anyway, apart from the few of us, no one knows that he has reappeared, especially in this way."

Shu Jianyue watched for a while, then stopped paying attention to that side and started dealing with things here. She used her mental energy to explore the surroundings to see what had attracted the group of ferocious beasts.

"Sigh, if only someone could understand these animal languages, we wouldn't have to waste time searching inch by inch like this."

“Xiaoshai’er is fine.” Fan Yin frowned after saying that, but he didn’t want to risk it all for nothing. He had just blurted it out without thinking.

Shu Jianyue glanced at him but didn't ask him to come over.

Looking at the row of ferocious beasts in front of him, he thought for a moment and tried to raise his voice: "You all obediently lead us to the thing that lured you here, and you are not allowed to make a fuss."

"Roar!" Suddenly, all the ferocious beasts roared, their voices deafening.

Shu Jianyue's eyelids twitched. "Quiet."

"..." Fan Yin raised her eyebrows high. She really is obedient!

"Phew." Shu Jianyue breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, they were obedient, otherwise she would have wanted to find it herself and not let them bring it.

"Which way do we go? Lead the way." As soon as these words were spoken, dozens of ferocious beasts charged towards them.

Fan Yin immediately stepped in front of Shu Jianyue, "Are you sure they're going to lead the way and not run you over?"

Shu Jianyue pushed him aside and looked at the ferocious beast rushing towards them, saying, "Don't worry, it won't kill you."

When the ferocious beasts reached her, they automatically parted and ran to both sides.

Shu Jianyue didn't follow along the whole way, but instead used her mental energy to follow.

Seeing her standing there calmly, Fan Yin couldn't help but ask, "Weren't you looking for something to attract them? Why are you standing here without moving?"

Shu Jianyue glanced at him and said, "No rush, let's wait for Ajiu and the others to come over."

"Are they done over there?" Fan Yin looked in that direction and sure enough, she saw two dark figures coming this way.

"Why are there only two? Did the swamp carts run away again?"

Shu Jianyue remained silent, watching the two dark figures approach.

After Chong Jiu approached, she reached out her hand to him without asking any questions, because she already knew everything. "Take a rest, and I'll tell you what happened here."

Chong Jiu grasped her hand and frowned. "Why did you come here? It's too dangerous here."

Shu Jianyue immediately smiled and said proudly, "I've discovered a new skill. I'll tell you how to use it when we get back."

"Don't change the subject. You shouldn't have come here." Chong Jiu looked at her with a serious expression.

Shu Jianyue's lips twitched, and she shook his hand, saying, "You don't know my abilities. Would I let myself get hurt?"

"Don't worry, I only came because I was confident."

Chong Jiu sighed and pulled her into his arms. "Let's let it go this time. Let's go back first."

Shu Jianyue grabbed him and explained what had happened, then said with a smile, "Let's go and take a look, otherwise even if there's something good, those ferocious beasts will steal it."

Obsidian looked at Fanyin, as if seeking confirmation that what she said was true.

Fan Yin nodded with a smile. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it either.

"Senior Obsidian, has that Swamp Cart escaped again?"

Obsidian sighed and said, "Ajiu has dealt with him, erasing all his past memories and sending him to the underworld."

This was the result of his pleading; otherwise, the final fate of Numayu would have been the complete annihilation of his soul.

After hearing Shu Jianyue's words, Chong Jiu squeezed her hand, thought for a moment, and then nodded, saying, "Then let's go."

With him around, she wasn't afraid those ferocious beasts would hurt her.

However, the flood...

Looking around at the trees uprooted by the flood, he realized his wife was truly exceptional and capable.

After he nodded in agreement, Shu Jianyue pulled him and immediately ran in the direction where the group of ferocious beasts had left.

Following the tracks of the ferocious beast, they arrived at a cave.

Shu Jianyue looked around and realized that this place wasn't far from where they had been before, which explained why they had all rushed here.

Seeing that there were still many ferocious beasts climbing up the canyon, Shu Jianyue directly used the flood to rush down.

Upon seeing her make a move, Obsidian looked at her in surprise, "You have a water elemental vein?"

Shu Jianyue tilted her head and thought for a moment, "I guess so."

Obsidian wanted to roll his eyes. "Don't you know what kind of spiritual veins you have? Or should you? Don't you need to be picky about cultivation techniques?"

"The cultivation technique I practice doesn't differentiate between spiritual veins, so I didn't test it," Shu Jianyue said, continuing to walk towards the cave blocked by the ferocious beast.

However, judging from her water-based abilities, it's safe to say she has a water-based spiritual vein.

"Make way." As soon as she spoke, the ferocious beast blocking the cave entrance moved aside.

Obsidian glanced at them and asked, "Why do they listen to you?"

Shu Jianyue turned around and looked at him with a smile, saying, "The winner takes all." After saying that, she pulled Zhong Jiu inside.
