Chapter 128 Intimidation
After a long time, Lin Xiaoman was still a little excited. He always felt uneasy because he was carrying a huge treasure.
Lin Xiaoman decided to simply not take the Worry-Free Grass. Since the mission was not completed, it was not completed. At worst, he could go back and find someone else to buy the Worry-Free Grass, or simply let the sect deduct the penalty points.
Lin Xiaoman believed that she did not have the calmness to run back to the valley to pick the worry-free grass.
Just as she was thinking, she suddenly heard a loud noise. Her face changed slightly. Where did the sound come from... Lin Xiaoman hurried out of the cave, jumped onto a big tree and looked over there. It was indeed the other side of the valley.
"Baibai, something happened, we have to leave quickly, go into the spirit beast bag and don't make any noise."
She was afraid that the treasure-hunting rat would be discovered, but at the same time she regretted not hiding herself in the crevice of the rock on the other side of the valley. If she was discovered, how would they find her?
"Um."
The treasure-hunting rat was also frightened by the loud noise from the other side of the valley, and crawled into the spirit beast bag that Lin Xiaoman opened.
Lin Xiaoman put away the spirit beast bag and prepared to leave the misty forest.
I rushed out, but before I had run far, I suddenly heard a voice coming from above.
"I am Fairy Biyun of the Yanyue Sect. I have found the place where our sect's Wuji Divine Lord passed away. In his storage bag is the Heaven-Swallowing Mirror, a treasure inherited from our sect. If any fellow Taoist has it, please return it. The rest of the items in the bag will be yours, but we will definitely take back the Heaven-Swallowing Mirror, and we can compensate you a little or nothing."
Lin Xiaoman paused, her scalp tingling. What was that? Could he be talking about the senior from the valley? She was now carrying a great treasure. While it wasn't the Heaven Swallowing Mirror, a top-grade spirit stone was still very valuable.
She had stolen someone else's top-grade spirit stone. If she was discovered, she didn't believe that the other party would not let her go just because she didn't take the Heaven-Swallowing Mirror.
However, after running a few steps, she stopped and looked back. Although she heard the sound, she did not see anyone and did not know where the person made the sound.
She didn't know what special abilities these seniors had. If it was a normal reaction, the confused monks should have stopped or walked at their original pace to avoid arousing suspicion.
However, she was afraid that the other party would use force. If she didn't escape and was caught, they would rather kill the innocent than let them go, and then they would open all their storage bags to check...
After thinking for a while, Lin Xiaoman opened the spirit beast bag and said, "Baibai, please keep this for me first. Don't let anyone find you or your storage space."
"Uh-huh."
After Baibai put away the top-grade spirit stone, Lin Xiaoman resumed her journey. Halfway through her journey, she saw a fluctuation of spiritual power not far away. She took a look and immediately stepped back.
My goodness, the people from Yanyue Sect actually blocked their way and stopped all the cultivators outside, not letting them go out.
After thinking about it, Lin Xiaoman turned around and ran back, continuing to run towards the valley. She came here to complete a mission today, which was to dig worry-free grass. Nothing else happened.
Along the way, Lin Xiaoman frantically gave himself hints and finally arrived at the valley. It looked almost the same as before, except that there was no more sound of fighting.
Lin Xiaoman entered the valley according to the map, and then carefully searched for worry-free grass along the way, as if it was his first time there.
Finally, he found the worry-free grass under a stone wall. Looking up at this familiar place, Lin Xiaoman took a deep breath.
Although she didn't find anything unusual, she had to act like an ordinary Qi Refining Stage disciple of Tianyan Sect who was on a mission outside.
He stuck two high-level speed charms on his legs, held a few fireball charms and thorn charms, and climbed up the stone wall quickly, always paying attention to the attacks of the green leaf snake.
Who knew that when she got close to the worry-free grass and even dug out a few of them, the green-leaf snake didn't appear.
"Huh? Didn't they say there was a green leaf snake guarding it? Why isn't it here?"
Lin Xiaoman quickly got down from the stone wall with a few worry-free grasses, and took out the collection of spiritual herbs from the storage bag for comparison.
"It's the worry-free grass."
Lin Xiaoman was genuinely puzzled. She'd felt a vague sense of threat when she'd come here before, presumably from the Green Leaf Snake. But now, she felt nothing. Had someone taken care of it? Then why hadn't they dug up the Worry-Free Grass? It was a second-tier spiritual plant, after all.
No matter what, the mission is accomplished, return to the sect.
Lin Xiaoman carefully placed the worry-free grass into the jade box, put it into the storage bag, and turned to leave.
At this time, on a high platform somewhere, two fairy-like women were standing, looking down at Lin Xiaoman in the valley.
"Senior Sister, I don't think this little girl is here to dig Worry-Free Grass. She's probably just a disciple on a mission for the sect. With that level of cultivation, how could she possibly take Master's storage bag?"
The shorter woman glanced at Lin Xiaoman and spoke to the woman next to her.
"Hmph, it's better to believe it than not. Today, we will investigate any cultivator who appears within a ten-mile radius of this valley."
After she finished speaking, she disappeared from the spot in a flash.
"Senior Sister." The remaining woman hurriedly followed.
Before Lin Xiaoman left the valley, he saw a flash before his eyes and a cold and beautiful woman appeared in front of him.
She was startled and her heart skipped a beat. Sure enough, there was someone in the dark. She quickly recalled whether she had revealed any flaws along the way.
After making sure that there were no flaws, he felt relieved and quickly took a step back respectfully and carefully to salute the other party.
"Senior, what's the matter?"
She had no idea about the other party's cultivation level, and the pressure from him made her tense all over. In just a moment, her clothes were slightly wet.
"My great master from the Yanyue Sect passed away here and lost an important treasure. Show me your storage bag and you can leave."
Lin Xiaoman's face changed, and she subconsciously covered her storage bag, pursed her lips and looked at the other party, obviously conflicted and hesitant.
A monk's storage bag is his most precious and secret thing, because it not only contains all his wealth, but also some secret treasures that no one is willing to show to others.
I didn't expect the Yanyue Sect to be so overbearing, asking to directly check her storage bag. Maybe all the cultivators nearby will be checked like this too?!
"Why? You don't want to? Did you take it?"
Seeing her reaction like this, the woman became impatient and took a step forward to catch up with her. This time, her power was even greater. Lin Xiaoman felt as if a mountain was pressing down on her. She trembled all over, her face turned pale, and she fell to her knees.
"Senior Sister, wait a minute."
At this moment, another voice sounded, and Lin Xiaoman felt a little relieved, but he still couldn't get up.
"Senior Sister, the storage bag is the most important thing for a cultivator. It's normal for her to hesitate."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Lin Xiaoman and said, "Don't worry, little girl. We are just checking to see if there are any of my master's things. We won't touch your things."
