Chapter Fourteen: The Scavenger



Just as Leng Rushuang was in shock, a commotion arose in the distance, and someone exclaimed:

"Look! It's right there on top of that giant tree! The mountain-descending formation has been activated!"

"Everyone, follow the plan and hide nearby. As soon as Leng Rushuang appears, you must capture her alive without harming her. The sect will have to use her to apologize to the Tianmen Sect. As for the other man, his life or death is irrelevant!"

"Yes, sir!"

Li Sisui looked bitter. Why was it that when it came to him, life and death were not a matter of concern?

Before he could complain any more, a gust of wind suddenly rushed past his ear, and a red ribbon shot straight at his face. Li Sisui instinctively closed his eyes, and then the red ribbon tightly wrapped around his waist. Then, like a catapult, Li Sisui was thrown straight into the mountain-descending formation by Leng Rushuang!

Seeing the mountain-descending formation appear above her head, and with more and more fellow disciples from the sect gathering around her, Leng Rushuang decisively decided to leave immediately. She could no longer hesitate. If she hesitated any longer, once the sect's formation was set up, it would be nothing short of a pipe dream for her to leave alone!

After being thrown out by Leng Rushuang, Li Sisui took the lead and, accompanied by a scream that shook the heavens and earth, headed straight for the mountain formation!

Of course, Li Sisui's scream was so sudden that it startled the Flying Flower Sect members who had been gathered in an orderly fashion. Only after seeing a red glow rising from the treetops did they belatedly realize what was happening:

"Cold as frost!"

"Leng Rushuang is there! She really is trying to sneak into Wulipo! Stop her!"

The Feihua Sect members were too busy to set up an array, so they could only hastily use their magic weapons and cultivation to rush down the mountain array. At this time, with Li Sisui clearing the way, the mountain array sensed Li Sisui's cultivation and the thick clouds began to slowly stir, like boiling water, and then the passage that had just appeared was revealed!

Now!

Leng Rushuang exerted force in her hands, clenched her teeth, and looked resolute. Ignoring the magical artifacts flying towards her from behind, she stared intently at the passage. Accompanied by Li Sisui's fluctuating screams, the two silently slipped into the descending mountain formation. A cloud of mist churned and disappeared, while the magical artifacts that had attacked Leng Rushuang from behind bounced back upon touching the swirling mist. The Feihua Sect members reluctantly withdrew their artifacts, grumbling bitterly:

"Damn it! She got away again!"

"What do we do now? How are we going to explain this to the sect?"

How could she pinpoint the location of the mountain-descending formation so precisely and at such a crucial moment?

"Yes! This mountain-descending formation clearly just descended, so how come Leng Rushuang appeared the next second?"

Everyone was at a loss, full of questions, and didn't know what to do. Then, one of them seemed to have an idea and suddenly exclaimed:

"I just saw another person in front of Leng Rushuang. That person should be the Divine Illumination Clown mentioned in the Tianmen Sect's rumors. If it weren't for that kid, she probably wouldn't have been able to sneak into Wulipo!"

"Good lad, no wonder you dare to offend even the Heavenly Gate Sect. You probably don't even take our Flying Flower Sect seriously. Go back to the sect immediately and report. The sect will arrange for people to go down the mountain. Do you really think you're safe just because you're hiding in Wulipo?"

When the people around heard the word "down the mountain", a hint of fear flashed across their eyes. They all seemed reluctant to go down the mountain. Now it seems that Leng Rushuang's decision to escape to Wulipo without hesitation is also a sign of great courage!

As the members of the Flying Flower Sect dispersed one after another, it took quite a while for the mountain-descending formation in mid-air to gradually shrink and disappear. The sky once again became overcast, the wind rustled through the trees, and a downpour was imminent.

Just as Li Sisui's voice was almost hoarse from shouting, the clouds in front of him disappeared, and beneath his feet was an endless desert. The red ribbon that had been tightly wrapped around his waist became loose, and a muffled groan came from behind him. Before Li Sisui could turn his head, the two of them fell from mid-air.

Li Sisui was thrown face-first into the air. Because he didn't adjust his landing position properly, he landed with several mouthfuls of sand. Before he could even turn over, he was hit hard in the waist. Li Sisui felt his vision go black, and his body felt as if it had been cut in half. He completely lost consciousness!

Holy crap, hemiplegia? High-level paraplegia? As an animal that thinks with its lower body, how can it live without its lower body?

While lost in thought, Li Sisui endured the excruciating pain and managed to turn over. Only then did he realize that the one who had hit him was Leng Rushuang, who was now lying unconscious to the side. The red veil covering her face was mostly folded up, revealing the lower half of her face. Her skin was as white as snow, delicate and flawless. Below her slender, jade-like neck, there was a mound of snow-white skin. Li Sisui only glanced at her a few times before he couldn't help but swallow hard. Just as he was lost in thought, a strange voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Hurry! We've landed! Right there!"

"Luckily, we haven't fallen too far. Haha, brother, we might be going to make a fortune this time!"

? ? ?

Li Sisui was completely bewildered. The sharp pain in his waist was only momentary, and he regained consciousness immediately. Perhaps it was because of his cultivator's physique that he was not crippled. If an ordinary person had been hit like that, they would probably have been either dead or maimed. Li Sisui was relieved and slowly got up from the ground. He moved his limbs and, apart from the initial sharp pain, it seemed that he was really not seriously injured.

Thankfully, all was well and he is still a complete man!

Turning around, he glanced at Leng Rushuang, who lay unconscious on the ground. He quickly took off his Taoist robe and covered her with it. In just a moment, the two men arrived. One of them, seeing Li Sisui cover Leng Rushuang with the robe, let out a joyful shout:

"There's even a female cultivator here! Haha, I'm rich! Don't you dare try to take her from me, she's mine!"

"Forget about stealing, if you're so capable, you do it; if not, I'll take your place, hehehe~"

Afterwards, the two let out an extremely lewd laugh. Li Sisui felt a chill run down his spine and got goosebumps all over his body. It turned out that there were also perverts in the world of cultivation!

After the laughter subsided, one of them glanced at Li Sisui a few times, a hint of delight flashing in his eyes, and said in a gruff voice:

"Tch, only at the third level of the Divine Illumination Realm? Looks like that female cultivator was brought here by this guy! Kid, listen up, hand over all your pills, cultivation techniques, and storage rings. Cripple your cultivation and you'll be spared. Otherwise, I'll annihilate you, body and soul!"

Uh, have we been robbed?

Because of the existence of the Downhill Formation, a new profession has emerged over time. In Li Sisui's memory, this profession is called scavengers. Most of them are independent cultivators without sects or factions, wandering in groups of three or five like lonely ghosts, specifically targeting the Downhill Formation.

Wherever a great formation descends the mountain appears, they immediately swarm like flies drawn to a stench. After all, there are many such legends of overnight ascension in Wulipo. Some people have found the remains of profound cultivators under the formation, and the remains contain various top-level magic treasures and heaven-defying techniques.

After claiming the remains for himself, the man fled for several years, during which his cultivation level increased dramatically. He then climbed the mountain and disappeared, becoming a legendary inspirational story and a top-notch source of motivation for the scavenging industry. This story has inspired generations to follow in his footsteps and carry forward the scavenging cause. The two people in front of us are one of them.
