Fang Ruotang sat steadily, not moving an inch, sipping her rather low-grade spiritual tea, and eavesdropping on the conversation in the private room upstairs.
Yes, eavesdropping.
Even though the other party had a protective shield to prevent others from investigating, Fang Ruotang could still openly eavesdrop, listening to the people who should have been discussing the Tiangang Sect, now chatting amongst themselves, plotting to steal her beauty.
Fang Ruotang was speechless. She couldn't help but complain to the little mirror.
[Isn't there a way to make people sense my cultivation level from a distance of tens of thousands of miles? Right now, I look like an ordinary mortal, and everyone wants to take advantage of me. That's why I summoned Da Mei. If I had brought Fan Huaxing along, I'm afraid I would have been targeted by all the cultivators in Gudong County.]
Fang Ruotang felt that the glamorous life she fantasized about was far away from her and almost impossible to achieve, unless she didn't care about those who had no sense of propriety constantly coming to provoke her.
If you have nothing to do, killing a few people to gain experience and increase your wealth is not bad, but if you are constantly harassed, it will be very annoying.
【……I have no idea. 】
The small mirror is just a time-travel mirror; it's not powerful enough to understand Fang Ruotang's techniques or instruct her.
If he's that powerful, he could replace Fang Ruotang, so how could he still be Fang Ruotang's spirit?
[If there are magical artifacts that can conceal a cultivator's cultivation level, then there must also be magical artifacts used for showing off.]
"Well, no one's taking this route right now, but if you'd like, sir, you could craft this kind of magical artifact."
Who would walk down the street without restraining their breath?!
It's not like I'm going to challenge everyone.
What if you run into a real big shot and kick a hornet's nest? Wouldn't that be suicide?
Therefore, there is no market for such magical artifacts, and naturally, no artifact refiners study them.
[We should contact the Weapon Refining Sect for that!]
Fang Ruotang thought of her grudges with the Weapon Refining Sect, and then of the Netherworld Jade she had obtained.
[Remind me to summon the Ghost King in a secluded spot later and ask if Yin Yue's soul has been taken to the Netherworld.]
Yes, sir.
She was multitasking, chatting with Xiao Jingzi while simultaneously monitoring the private room upstairs, and also engaging in meaningless gossip with Huo Zhige.
Then, the people above finally managed to discuss how to divide her great beauty and resources before bringing up the matter of the Heavenly Gang Sect.
Fang Ruotang directly asked for information about several people.
All of them were at the Nascent Soul stage, the most powerful cultivators in their sects. Due to insufficient resources, they had no choice but to rob people from all over the place.
There were six people in total, from six small sects.
They seem to share a common bloodline, but their actions are not good.
If they encounter something like the Tiangang Sect, it's like leeches that have seen blood; they'll cling to them immediately and you can't shake them off.
They planned to follow the "mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind" strategy, waiting for the major sects of Qingyun Sect to fight to the death before they would come and reap the last of their resources.
At that time, the old, weak, sick and disabled people left behind by the Tiangang Sect will be no match for them, and they will be able to easily take over the Tiangang Sect.
Fang Ruotang: ...
What a coincidence!
She had the exact same idea.
Fang Ruotang silently relayed the conversation between the people upstairs to Huo Zhige.
Huo Zhige didn't even flinch.
Let's see who emerges victorious in the end.
【No need! Let's go! We'll be busy soon! This is a good opportunity to deal with them.】
"...They've got their eyes on you?"
Huo Zhige quickly understood Fang Ruotang's meaning after a moment's thought.
"Yes! They plan to kill us."
After answering in her mind, Fang Ruotang looked up innocently at Huo Zhige.
Huo Zhige's brows furrowed, and anger welled up within him.
[It's alright, it's better for them to act now. It will prevent them from competing with us for resources later, which could lead to a bloody battle.]
After all, her goals were completely different from those of these minor sects.
Her main goal was to recruit the outstanding disciples of the Tiangang Sect and then conveniently take over the sect's resources. After all, since the disciples had all submitted to their Tianyi Sect, the resources would definitely need to be transferred over as well.
These sects only intended to seize resources, and even planned to eliminate them completely, fearing that the disciples of the Tiangang Sect would recover and seek revenge later.
Fang Ruotang left the teahouse.
Huo Zhige said this to her in his heart.
Find a suitable place to call Yan Jin and the other person out. Zi Qi and the others should also be nearby. Notify them to come immediately.
The disciples at the intelligence outpost weren't particularly skilled, and Huo Zhige didn't intend to lure people there, lest it cause unnecessary casualties.
Huo Zhige was usually unrestrained and arrogant, but he wasn't a brainless brute. When Fang Ruotang told him that there were six Nascent Soul stage cultivators on the other side, he wasn't so arrogant as to think he could take on all six of them by himself.
Fang Ruotang glanced at Huo Zhige and said "Oh".
Huo Zhige's heart sank, and he was about to speak.
Fang Ruotang turned into the alley and swiftly stuffed Huo Zhige directly into the secret realm, giving him no chance to react.
Brahma: ...
"What is this, Master?"
"Don't worry about it!"
As she spoke, Fang Ruotang also put Fan into the spirit beast bag.
I wasn't paying attention when I put it in, and I put it in the wrong thing.
He squeezed in next to Da Mei.
This was the first time Fan had encountered such a situation: a fight was about to break out, but instead of summoning him to battle, they hid him away.
What's going on?
Fan asked Da Mei, who was a foolish beauty. How could she know these things? She knew nothing at all.
Fan couldn't help but curse under his breath, "Useless trash, you dare to be a master's spirit beast?"
Da Mei was furious and immediately jumped up to hit Fan.
The moment it opened its mouth, it was suppressed by Fan Yi's claws, and then it couldn't utter a single fart.
Not only was Fan anxious and frustrated, but he was also unable to leave the spirit beast pouch.
Similarly, Huo Zhige was causing a great deal of destruction in the secret realm, but he couldn't elicit any response from Fang Ruotang.
His heart clenched, and he kept trying to contact Xiao Jingzi.
But Fang Ruotang refused, and Xiao Jingzi didn't dare to make her own decisions, so she could only ignore Huo Zhige, who was clearly a bit crazy.
"My lord, why don't you release them to fight?"
Looking at Fang Ruotang, whose path was blocked, Xiao Jingzi couldn't help but make a suggestion.
Fang Ruotang pouted helplessly.
[Shut up, Huo Zhige! With his small frame, he wouldn't even last two punches from a Nascent Soul cultivator. Don't come out and drag the team down.]
Little Mirror thought about it and agreed, so he obediently relayed the message.
Huo Zhige became depressed.
This was not what he had expected.
[Is Xiao Liu planning to let them beat her up, so she can use the attack on her robe to fight back?] Huo Zhige looked like a drowning puppy.
He felt very sad.
When his beloved woman faced a formidable rival, he hid away like a helpless man.
Little Mirror didn't know either, so she went to ask.
Fang Ruotang looked speechless, as if she had been looked down upon.
"Them? They think they're worthy to hit me?"
