Chapter 15 Return to Fuhua Peak.
Chapter 15
"Who made you unlucky? I can't stand seeing people from the Amaterasu sect around me these days."
The middle-aged man in the green robe gently retracted the sharp blade. Not even a trace of blood could be found on the bright blade, making it appear exceptionally clean and sharp. After putting the blade away, his eyes scanned the headless body lying on the ground without moving, as if he were looking at a speck of dust.
Zhao Siwen didn't understand why this person hated the disciples of Amaterasu Sect so much and killed people without thinking.
Although he didn't understand why, it didn't prevent him from knowing that his situation was very dangerous at the moment and he might follow in the footsteps of the cave master in the next second.
At this moment, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful. If he had known that someone who hated Amaterasu would suddenly appear, he would not have been so arrogant to refuse his senior brother's help.
It’s no use thinking about those things now. I have to think about how to escape from this man.
Besides, there was Bu Xingjin. He had once confidently told him to follow him and that he would definitely be able to get him out. Now that he had encountered this accident, he couldn't leave him behind. Therefore, if he was going to leave, he had to take him with him.
While the middle-aged man in green robe hadn't noticed him yet, Zhao Siwen secretly thought about what useful things he had in his hands.
All his belongings were placed in the storage ring. He put a lot of things in it casually, and he didn't like to organize them. At this moment, he immersed his mental power in it, searching for the items he needed.
Spirit Stone... Breath-Suppressing Talisman... There's actually another one like this!
Zhao Siwen was so happy that he could hardly suppress his excitement, and was almost noticed by the middle-aged man in green robe.
Random teleportation symbol.
This is a specialty of Amaterasu Sect's Star Picking Peak, with only dozens produced each year. It is an extremely precious item to outsiders.
He didn't remember having this thing, and probably thought it was mixed in with something else. Now was not the time to ponder the origins of this random teleportation talisman, as it had become his only chance of escaping.
Zhao Siwen and Bu Xingjin were only a hundred meters apart, yet even at his full sprint, it would take him several breaths to reach them. This was enough time for the green-robed middle-aged man to easily kill Zhao Siwen and Bu Xingjin on the spot.
He also needed a protective item to temporarily resist the attack of the middle-aged man in green robe, so as to buy him enough time to use the random teleportation talisman to escape from danger with Bu Xingjin.
While Zhao Siwen was frantically searching in his storage ring, Bu Xingjin was also thinking about how to deal with the situation.
He opened the system panel, which showed that the cooldown time of the quarterly time acceleration card was still three days, and the cultivation progress bar was only two-thirds covered. It still needed one-third of cultivation to upgrade, and it would take some time to reach the full level.
There were only a few pieces of Yin Iron and a secret book in his backpack. The low-grade spirit stones he had exchanged for the Yin Iron had all been used up during his cultivation.
Bu Xing carefully examined it again and again, and finally concluded that this system would not help him now.
"Qing Yan, do you think we will die here?"
Looking at the silent little tree in his arms, Bu Xingjin muttered to himself.
On the other side, the middle-aged man in the green robe stared at the two stiff figures in front of him with a sharp gaze. He suddenly asked in an erratic tone, "Are you scared?"
He actually smiled, like a kind and gentle elder, as if he was not the one who had just committed the crime.
"Some." Zhao Siwen reluctantly uttered these two words under the sharp gaze of the middle-aged man in green robe.
"I am not a person who kills indiscriminately, and you are not from the Amaterasu sect, so there is no need to be so scared." The middle-aged man in green robe fell into a fixed mindset. He believed that as disciples of the Amaterasu sect, which is a famous and upright sect, they should not kill each other. Since one party admitted that they were disciples of the Amaterasu sect, the other party would not be.
He didn't think he was a member of the Amaterasu sect. Since the green-robed middle-aged man had made such an assumption, Zhao Siwen naturally didn't try to correct him. However, he wasn't sure how long he could keep it a secret. He didn't know how well the other party knew about the Amaterasu sect. Perhaps his attack method, subconscious behavior, etc. would reveal his identity in the next moment.
Even if they weren't discovered in the end, Zhao Siwen didn't think the middle-aged man in the green robe would let them go. He was a wicked man who followed his heart, and after all, they saw him kill someone.
Zhao Siwen didn't dare to believe a word the middle-aged man in green robe said.
Zhao Siwen searched his storage ring for a long time, looking through it all but failing to find a treasure strong enough to withstand a Jindan-stage attack. He realized that time was running out and he had to get to Bu Xingjin as soon as possible.
After a moment of silence, Zhao Siwen noticed that the green-robed middle-aged man's gaze was no longer fixed on him. He cautiously tried to take a step in Bu Xingjin's direction.
Bu Xingjin noticed Zhao Siwen's movements immediately and couldn't help wondering why Zhao Siwen was walking towards him. After thinking for a moment, he also took a step and walked towards Zhao Siwen.
The middle-aged man in green robe also caught a glimpse of this scene, but did not take it to heart. He was still immersed in thinking about how to properly deal with the problems of the two people in front of him.
Just kill him like that?
Having just killed someone, he now felt much calmer, no longer so upset, and had no desire to kill again.
Let go?
That won't work either. After all, they saw him kill someone, and that person was from the Amaterasu sect. If they go to the Amaterasu sect to file a complaint, and it really angers the Amaterasu sect and they send experts to hunt him down, it will be very troublesome.
After thinking about it, I decided to just kill him.
The middle-aged man in green robe made his decision and prepared to take action.
Oh no! He's going to take action!
Zhao Siwen caught a glimpse of the green-robed middle-aged man swinging his right arm and immediately sensed something was amiss. Without hesitation, he increased his speed and charged towards Bu Xingjin with all his might.
At this moment, he and Bu Xingjin were only a few steps apart. Zhao Siwen clutched the random teleportation talisman in one hand, ready to activate it at any moment, while his other hand fiercely reached out to grab Bu Xingjin. If he could successfully capture Bu Xingjin before the green-robed middle-aged man's attack could reach him, both of them would be spared.
The actions of several people unfolded almost simultaneously, like a silent painting.
The middle-aged man in green robe immediately noticed Zhao Siwen's action. He was shocked and angry: "It's a random teleportation talisman. You are also a disciple of Amaterasu Sect!"
He had originally only used a trace of strength, but after realizing that the person in front of him was also a disciple of the Amaterasu sect, he was furious and turned to use all his strength, vowing to completely eliminate these two people.
The moment the middle-aged man in green robe changed his offensive, Zhao Siwen immediately used his spiritual power to light up a random teleportation talisman.
Just a little bit more.
Zhao Siwen was a little desperate. He was just a little bit away from saving Bu Xingjin and teleporting him away.
The random teleportation talisman took effect immediately, and the attack of the middle-aged man in green robe arrived instantly. At this critical moment, Bu Xingjin almost closed his eyes and waited for death.
The small tree that had been motionless in his arms suddenly jumped out to block the attack of the middle-aged man in green robe.
"Qing Yan..."
Bu Xingjin couldn't believe that he was saved by Xiaoshu.
Zhao Siwen seized the opportunity and took Bu Xingjin with him the second before being teleported away.
The two men disappeared in an instant, leaving behind only the helpless and furious middle-aged man in green robe.
In a valley somewhere, unknown distance away from here, two people suddenly fell from mid-air.
It was Zhao Siwen and Bu Xingjin who had just escaped from the jaws of death.
Bu Xingjin got up from the ground, and without bothering to check whether he was injured, he immediately asked if Xiaoshu was okay.
"Qing Yan, are you okay?"
No response. No matter how Bu Xingjin called out, there was no response.
It’s not that Xiaoshu doesn’t want to respond to him. Bu Xingjin can feel that it’s because Xiaoshu is in a very bad condition and cannot respond to him.
The tender green leaves that had finally sprouted after so much hardship had now all withered. The branches that had revived had fallen back into a state of withering, and the vitality of the entire tree was even more decrepit than when Xing Jin first glimpsed it.
Bu Xingjin couldn't help but have a bad premonition, worrying that the small tree might die.
"Don't worry, this tree is indeed badly damaged, but it still has some spirituality."
Zhao Siwen checked the surroundings and confirmed their location before walking over. Looking at Bu Xingjin, who looked distressed, he consoled him.
"We're lucky. This place isn't far from Amaterasu Sect. Once we get back to Fuhua Peak, I'll ask the Peak Master to take a look at Xiaoshu. There's definitely a way to save him."
Zhao Siwen's words gave Bu Xingjin hope. No matter what the cost, he would definitely restore the little tree to its original state.
The two of them tidied themselves up briefly and prepared to set off.
From the bright sunshine to the setting sun, the two finally arrived at the gate of Amaterasu sect.
Bu Xingjin had no time to look at the progress bar of his cultivation that could be upgraded, nor did he have the heart to admire the magnificent gate of Amaterasu Sect. He was only thinking about going to Fuhua Peak to find the peak master to check on the condition of the little tree.
Zhao Siwen relaxed only after returning to the sect, and first took Bu Xingjin to Fuhua Peak.
Arriving at Fuhua Peak, Zhao Siwen brought Bu Xingjin to the main hall of Fuhua Peak. The peak master usually handles affairs here, so it is easiest to run into him here.
I pushed the door open and saw that the person was indeed inside.
Bu Xingjin raised his head slightly, his gaze fixed on a young man in a purple robe and a jade crown, pouring a drink beneath the hall's dome. He was suave, handsome, and unforgettable, like a figure from a painting. The jade wine glass in his hand swayed gently, reflecting the depth and confidence in his eyes, like the brightest star in the night sky. The surroundings formed a stark contrast, making him appear even more tranquil and mysterious.
“Master!”
Zhao Siwen knelt down to greet him, while Bu Xingjin awkwardly bowed. He really didn't know how to greet him in this situation, so he could only act according to his feelings.
"Are you back? Get up." The young man glanced at the two of them, drank the wine in his glass casually and then put it down.
"Why don't you go and hand in the mission?"
"Master, there's been an accident. Could you please take a look at the tree?"
