Chapter 68 Unexpected Situations
The dark mountain forest was filled with eerie atmosphere, and the screams of a man could be heard continuously. A male cultivator lay on the ground, covered in blood, and was on the verge of death.
"Your Excellency, he still refuses to confess."
Jun Yi frowned and looked in the direction of Tiankun City. He felt uneasy all day and said in a deep voice, "Kill them."
After dealing with the people, Ling Lie, seeing that Jun Yi had no further instructions, stepped forward, bowed, and asked, "Your Excellency, shall we proceed to the next stronghold?"
They swept through several strongholds of the City of Ten Thousand Sins along the way, but failed to find out the exact location of the City of Ten Thousand Sins, which was said to be hidden by a large maze formation.
"Never mind, I'll go to the Heavenly Sect another day and ask them if they know anything about it." Right now, he just wanted to get back to Tiankun City as soon as possible; that little thing always made him uneasy.
"Your Excellency!" At this moment, a subordinate arrived on his sword, a look of joy on his face, and said, "Many spirit stones have been discovered in the mine over there."
"Spirit stones?"
Jun Yi and his group then entered the mine and found that the spirit stones scattered on the ground were piled up like mountains, and there were also boxes of all sizes, all filled with top-grade spirit stones, which were obviously intended to be transported to Wan Zui City.
Jun Yi chuckled, "Perfect, I'll take it back for Luo'er to play with."
After saying that, he waved his sleeve and put all the stacks of top-grade spirit stones into his storage ring, and instructed: "Use the spirit stone bag to select some high-grade spirit stones and give them to me. You can divide the rest among yourselves."
Ling Lie and the others were overjoyed, "Thank you, Your Excellency!"
"I'm returning to Tiankun City now. You all continue to investigate the movements of those people in Wanzui City. Report back immediately if there are any unusual developments."
"Yes, sir!"
Inside the inn.
Fu Zhenghan looked at Bai Ruoqian, who was still unconscious. He hadn't expected her to be so badly injured. Fortunately, there was a special magic array on her clothes that protected her from most of the damage. Otherwise, she would have suffered far more than just a few scrapes of skin.
"That bastard should have been killed long ago!"
Su Yuyuan gritted his teeth and said, "I didn't expect him to have been hiding his strength. What a despicable scoundrel!"
At this point, Fu Zhenghan's face also became solemn. In fact, he was also surprised. The timid and useless person from before seemed to have become a completely different person, and his cultivation speed had become so amazing that he could actually fight on par with Qian'er.
"Master." At this moment, Yang Shen walked in and bowed, saying, "It seems that the Alliance Leader has taken a few people to the inn where he is staying in Peach Blossom Valley."
Upon hearing this, Fu Zhenghan's face darkened. "This old man has quite a few schemes in his mind!"
“Master, there are still quite a few visitors outside. You see…” Fu Zhenghan pondered for a moment and said, “You may all come with me. There are some things I need to tell you to do.”
With a creak as the door closed, Bai Ruoqian, who had been keeping her eyes closed, opened them. Her gaze was clear, and she did not look like she was in a deep sleep at all.
"That bastard Ye Luo dared to hurt me! I want to kill him right now!" Bai Ruoqian said through gritted teeth. If it weren't for Xin Hun Yin's secret intervention on the arena, she might have been seriously injured by the sword light.
"No rush, we'll find an opportunity later." Xin Hunyin chuckled. "His spirit seems quite good. If it weren't for the fact that I couldn't make a move on the field just now, I would really like to taste him."
Bai Ruoqian thought of his magical treasure and couldn't help but touch her sore shoulder, saying resentfully, "Hmph, I didn't expect him to have so many magical treasures, but they'll be mine in the future!"
After this battle, all the inns, big and small, in Tiankun City were discussing the fight between Bai Ruoqian and Ye Luo, and even the teahouses were crowded with people.
"The competition in the newcomer group was really exciting."
"I never expected that Bai Ruoqian would actually reach the Pseudo-Core Realm."
"What's the use? We still got a draw with a Foundation Establishment stage kid!"
"Hey, we haven't gone to check. Tell us what happened!"
"It's that Ye Luo! He's actually a genius who cultivates both sword and pill refining!"
"Oh, really!"
...
Mu Tai listened to the conversation as he strolled along, seemingly enjoying the company of others. "Old man Shangguan, what do you think?"
"You mean that kid Ye Luo? Or that girl Bai Ruoqian?"
"Tell me about it."
Shangguan Lin pondered for a moment and said, "Ye Luo seems a bit unreliable in his actions, but judging from his past performance, he seems to have his own methods. Moreover, he has been able to hide his identity as a sword cultivator for so long, which shows that he is also a meticulous child."
Mu Tai smiled and nodded, as if to indicate his agreement. "What about Bai Ruoqian?"
"This girl... perhaps because she's young, she seems to have a bit of an arrogant air about her, but her talent is truly amazing. I heard she just turned fourteen and has already reached the Pseudo-Core Realm at such a young age. She's a rare talent indeed."
"Sigh..." Upon hearing this, Mu Tai frowned and sighed. Seeing this, Shangguan Lin beside him asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"But I always feel that she..." Mu Tai couldn't explain why for a moment, but every time he saw that girl, he felt dislike and inexplicably felt a sense of apprehension.
"I heard that Lan Yu, the disciple of the Illusionary Sound Sect, seems to have become an idiot. Shui Yun is furious right now. You should try to mediate when you speak, so as not to make the relationship between the two sects even more strained. After all, we are both sects of the Immortal Alliance."
Shangguan Lin frowned: "Even if it's a backlash of divine consciousness, it shouldn't be this severe, right?"
"Shuiyun is still investigating the reason behind it." Mu Tai sighed. "Let's hurry up, it should be just ahead."
Mu Tai and the others glanced at Ye Luo, left some medicine for her injuries, and then left the room with Ming Cang.
The room fell silent for a moment. Cen Feng and the others lay by the bed, staring at Ye Luo, as if that would wake him up.
Suddenly, Cen Feng sniffed forward with a puzzled look. Seeing this, Xiao Huan asked, "What are you doing? Sniffing the buns?"
"Junior brother, you smell so good!"
"Really?" Xiao Huan leaned in to sniff, swallowed hard, and said, "Yeah...it smells so good."
"What is it?" Jian Yu asked, puzzled, and stepped forward to sniff.
Bai Wan tilted her head and pondered, "It has a delicate and elegant fragrance, and it seems to smell like lotus."
"Could it be her natural scent?" Lan Ruyan was somewhat incredulous. Ye Luo was lying down wearing only her inner garments; why would she be wearing any sachet?
At this moment, Nan Muyin walked in and saw the group of people sniffing around Ye Luo's bed like little dogs. She couldn't help but find it amusing. "Hey, hey, what are you doing? Don't disturb his rest. Go back to your own rooms."
"Senior Brother, Junior Brother smells so good!" Cen Feng turned around and swallowed, suddenly wanting to take a bite for some reason.
"Hmm?" Nan Muyin walked closer and seemed to smell the fragrance as well. She frowned and said in a deep voice, "All of you, get out of here and call your second senior sister over!"
"oh……"
Seeing the group looking back every few steps, Nan Muyin's face darkened. "What are you looking at? Hurry up and go!"
