'Senior Brother, Wen Jianxi really did steal the storage bag.'

The moment Lu Li's storage bag was stolen, Shushu sensed it and couldn't help but start complaining to Lu Li via telepathy.

Seeing Wen Jianxi's smug expression, Shushu was speechless. At this moment, she really wanted to see Wen Jianxi's expression after she found out that she had worked for nothing.

Actually, she had just noticed that her senior brother's storage bag was not protected. She thought it was an oversight on his part and even wanted to help cover it up, but she didn't expect to be stopped by him.

The moment Shushu was stopped by his senior brother, he realized that his senior brother was setting a trap and deliberately revealing a flaw in the storage bag.

Then, thinking of Wen Jianxi, who was lurking in the shadows, eyeing their belongings, Shushu knew that what his senior brother had said about having made arrangements must have been this storage bag.

Thinking of this, Shushu no longer wanted to protect the storage bag.

However, her attention did not leave the storage bag; instead, she kept a close eye on it.

Therefore, the moment the storage bag disappeared, Shushu noticed it and looked at Wen Jianxi, wanting to know how the other party had done it.

Unfortunately, the other party moved too quickly. She only saw a streak of light pass by before her senior brother's storage bag hanging at his waist disappeared.

The one capable of such speed was probably Wen Jianxi's spirit.

Since the spirit was far stronger than him, Shushu didn't make things difficult for himself and directly asked Lu Li if he had seen how the spirit attacked.

'Yes, I know. Don't worry, that thief won't get away with it. I'll tell you the details later.'

Seeing Shushu's face full of curiosity and confusion, Lu Li, while knocking away a person who rushed over, still had the strength to free a hand to pat Shushu's head before replying telepathically.

Shushu had warned him before that Wen Jianxi had something special in her possession, and he had been keeping a close eye on it to see what it was all about.

I never expected that it would be a spirit, and one that could detach from its original body and move around freely.

But no matter how fast the other party was, Lu Li recognized the thing that stole his storage bag as a spirit the moment it appeared.

The contact time was too short, and the other party was not slow either. He hadn't had time to determine what kind of artifact spirit the other party was.

However, after learning that the other party was a spirit, he guessed why Wen Jianxi insisted on taking advantage of the chaos to rush over.

It's likely that the spirit's current range of manipulation is limited, which is why Wen Jianxi cooperated with the spirit to get closer to him. Being closer made it easier to steal his storage bag.

I wonder if that person and the spirit will be pleasantly surprised when they see what's in his storage bag and receive his counterattack! That was something he specially prepared for her.

Who told Wen Jianxi to be so blind and reach out so far? She didn't even consider whether she had the strength to back it up before daring to make a move.

Since that's the case, then he'll give her a big gift and see if she dares to ask for things so casually again.

Thinking of the backup plan he had prepared, Lu Li's smile widened. Facing the person coming towards him, he fought back with no hesitation, each move deadly.

In no time, he knocked down those who came to attack him, and they all lay on the ground.

After dealing with the last person, Lu Li first took everyone's storage bags, then ignored them, leaped onto his flying sword, and left without looking back.

This is Xianglai Forest, and even at the edge of the forest, there are quite a few low-level spirit beasts and demon beasts.

Low-level spirit beasts and demon beasts have not yet developed intelligence; they only know how to devour others according to their bloodthirsty instincts.

For them, the cultivator's body is an excellent source of energy.

Add to that the smell of blood, and I'm sure this place will soon be swept away by spirit beasts and demon beasts drawn by the scent.

If these people are lucky and don't encounter any spirit beasts or monsters, then they have nothing to fear.

Even if he disguised himself and hid himself, making it impossible for those people to discover his situation, Lu Li was not afraid at all, even if they really found out about him.

These people were just trying to rob him. They were no match for him and were killed by him. They could only blame themselves for being arrogant and unlucky, for provoking the wrong people.

Don't forget, this is a world of cultivation where the strong prey on the weak, not a mortal world governed by morality and ethics. Cultivation is inherently cruel.

Back to the present, after Lu Li stepped onto the flying sword, he affixed a high-level invisibility talisman to himself and Shushu respectively before following the scent he left on the storage bag.

He wanted to see how miserable Wen Jianxi would be after opening the storage bag and falling for the trap he had left behind. Just thinking about it made him happy.

His possessions are not so easy to covet; if you want to take them from him, be prepared for retaliation.

He believed that if Wen Jianxi and he were in the same position, Wen Jianxi would act the same way: she would definitely not be merciful.

Soon, following the scent left by the storage bag, Lu Li found Wen Jianxi in the middle of Xianglai Forest, where she was being chased and killed by a group of spirit beasts in a particularly miserable state.

By this time, the disguise pill on her body had long since worn off, and she had regained her original appearance, but unfortunately, she looked extremely disheveled.

Not only was her hair a mess, but some parts had been shaved off, making her hair look like it had been chewed by a dog—dirty, strange, and an eyesore.

His robes were tattered and stained with blood, making it impossible to discern their original color.

There were many wounds on her exposed wrists, ankles, and face; some had stopped bleeding, while others were still oozing blood.

His steps were unsteady, giving the impression that he might collapse at any moment.

'Tsk tsk tsk~ How pathetic, haha, making you a thief, hmph~'

Seeing Wen Jianxi's extremely miserable appearance, Shushu felt extremely comfortable.

In his memory, Wen Jianxi in his previous life had put Shushu in such a predicament countless times, with broken hands and feet being commonplace.

Unfortunately, Wen Jianxi often not only didn't care about Shushu or give her healing pills, but also blamed Shushu for being useless and would beat and scold her at the drop of a hat.

If it weren't for the fact that Shushu was an auspicious beast, had a bit of luck favored by Heaven, and wasn't good at finding spiritual herbs, Shushu would have died countless times already.

Seeing Wen Jianxi go through what she went through is a way of avenging herself, even if it's just a small part of the hatred.

Thinking of this, Shushu looked at the spirit beasts behind Wen Jianxi with encouragement, hoping that these guys could become even stronger and exert more effort to create more trouble for Wen Jianxi.

So the senior and junior disciples sat on their flying swords, watching from afar as Wen Jianxi struggled desperately to escape the group of spirit beasts that were relentlessly pursuing her, enjoying the spectacle.
