Chapter 169 An Unfavorable Departure

The four flying swords shivered instantly…

"Brother Ha, *hic*! I'm full," the little fox nodded sheepishly.

"Right, none of you seem to have any weapons yet," Er Ha glanced at the group of five. "Why don't you take these? And pick out some other handy items."

"Yes, yes!" The four flying swords quickly agreed. "We can actually fight well, and we can help out in the future!"

"Brother Ha, no need," the group of five smiled awkwardly. "Our cultivation is too low, we can't use anything here. I think it's better to save them for Sister Jiu and the others to eat."

"Alright, then pack it all up," Er Ha didn't insist and agreed.

"No, Brother Ha, we can really fight!"

"Yeah, yeah, if we encounter anyone blind in the future, no need to trouble..."

"So much nonsense!" Before they could finish, they were unceremoniously thrown into the ring by the group of five.

"Don't just stand there, you two," Er Ha glanced at the leopard demon and the bull-headed man. "Go pick a few you like."

"Brother Ha… we… can too?" The two demons couldn't believe it.

"Brother Ha keeps his word, pick whatever you want!" Er Ha generously gestured. "And pick some for the giant snake outside."

The two demons repeatedly thanked him and finally chose a few not-so-powerful magical treasures.

Of course, "not-so-powerful" was relative. For them, these were already things they had only dreamed of.

They didn't not want the more powerful magical treasures, they just didn't dare to take them…

Afterward, the group of five, like a swarm of locusts, cleared out the entire treasure pavilion!

Actually, their spatial rings couldn't hold so much. But the treasure pavilion itself already contained quite a few spatial rings.

At the exit of the ruins.

"From now on, this is my territory, Brother Ha. You must help me guard it!" Er Ha instructed the three demons.

"As you command!" the three demons quickly responded.

Only after Er Ha's grand army had completely flown away did the three demons finally breathe a sigh of relief.

The giant python quickly controlled its body and returned to its original form, otherwise it would have fainted from holding its breath…

They had also benefited from misfortune.

Before, the treasure pavilion was guarded by a powerful sword spirit, so they dared not steal and eat.

Now, although all the good things were taken, didn't they each get a few magical treasures?

Moreover, many buildings in the sect were built with materials containing spiritual energy, which was enough for them to cultivate for a long time.

A few days later.

Led by Wu Poxie, the Zhenxie Sect's army marched grandly towards the ancient ruins!

All preparations were now complete, and the ruins could be officially developed!

Wu Poxie felt a faint excitement.

If the ruins could be successfully developed, the Zhenxie Sect would become the largest power in the entire Daliang Kingdom!

In the future, they might even be able to spar with that old expert in the imperial city!

Furthermore, through her meticulous planning over the years, the entire Zhenxie Sect had become her domain, and even the Sect Master had secretly become her puppet!

At this moment, Wu Poxie's ambition grew wildly!

A few hours later, the large force successfully arrived at the mountain hollow where the entrance was located.

Upon seeing the situation before them, Wu Poxie and the others' expressions changed drastically!

The guarding disciples were all gone!

The entrance had been opened!

Had someone gotten there first?!

Realizing the gravity of the situation, Wu Poxie quickly led her people into the ruins.

Looking at the scattered arrows not far away, Wu Poxie was certain that others had indeed been here!

She then led her army forward cautiously: they had to guard against sneak attacks from those who arrived earlier and also pay attention to the uncracked traps.

Not long after, they arrived at the location of the previous honeycomb mechanism.

They had been blocked by this formation last time.

Although they had made thorough preparations after returning this time, she couldn't guarantee a 100% success rate in breaking it.

"Fifth Elder, let's begin… Damn!"

Before Wu Poxie could finish speaking, her expression changed! Bignovels

Three terrifying spiritual pressure waves instantly enveloped them!

Wu Poxie's heart sank to the bottom!

Demonic beasts at the Void Comprehension second level!

And three of them!

She was the only one at the Void Comprehension second level on her side. She couldn't even deal with one beast, let alone three?

After the three demons appeared, without any preamble, they attacked with their blades!

Wu Poxie made a decisive move and turned to flee!

The giant python lightly flicked its forked tongue, stirring up a sky full of emerald green poisonous mist.

The so-called elite disciples of the Zhenxie Sect didn't even have time to scream before they instantly dissolved into a pool of thick liquid.

The leopard demon flicked its claws, and countless cold glints reaped the lives of the others.

The bull-headed demon unleashed a sharp horn condensed from demonic energy, thrusting towards Wu Poxie and the others.

The elders of the Zhenxie Sect didn't even have time to react before they were pierced through!

The bull's horn, with undiminished force, instantly reached behind Wu Poxie!

"Bang—!"

With that thrust, Wu Poxie was sent flying outside the entrance.

"Big brother, that woman doesn't seem dead," the leopard demon smacked its lips. "Should we chase her out?"

"No need," the bull-headed man shook his head. "She's practically dead anyway. Besides, humans are greedy. Maybe she'll bring more people back later. It'll be entertainment."

After speaking, the three demons returned to the depths of the grand hall.

Outside the entrance.

Wu Poxie staggered as she fled, blood continuously spraying from her back.

After fleeing for thousands of miles, she finally collapsed to the ground, unable to continue.

It was thanks to her protective magical treasure that she saved her life; otherwise, she feared she would have perished on the spot.

Even so, her condition was very grim.

Wu Poxie quickly took out some life-saving pills and swallowed them, then fainted.

After an unknown amount of time.

Wu Poxie slowly opened her eyes.

Although her injuries hadn't improved much, she could barely manage to return to the Zhenxie Sect.

Upon returning to the Zhenxie Sect, she didn't stop and headed straight for the Sect Master's secluded cultivation place.

Zhenxie Sect's Spirit Gathering Pavilion.

The Sect Master slowly opened his eyes.

He had finally broken through to the Void Comprehension third level!

"Congratulations, Sect Master, on your breakthrough." Just as he was preparing to adapt to his new power, a voice suddenly sounded in his ear.

"Poxie?" Seeing the person beside him, the Sect Master was greatly alarmed. "Why are you so seriously injured? What happened?"

"I'll tell you what happened later, I need the Sect Master to help me heal now," Wu Poxie said weakly.

"Good, I'll help you heal now!" The Sect Master didn't dare to delay and immediately condensed his true qi.

"No, Sect Master," Wu Poxie smiled wickedly, her eyes casting a dim red glow. "Ordinary methods won't work anymore. We need something special now."

"What… special method…" The Sect Master's expression turned blank, and he stammered, asking.

"I've cultivated you for so long, it's time for you to repay me," Wu Poxie extended her right hand and fiercely plunged it into the Sect Master's skull.

The Sect Master's body trembled violently, and then he went still.

His skin began to wither and fall off, and his flesh rapidly shriveled.

Taifu.

Tai Shou had been in a very bad mood lately.

Extremely bad mood!

Last time he went to see Miss Ruyan, he discovered that she was entertaining another guest!

Every time he went, she refused to see him, but when she was with others, she smiled so happily!

Later, he planned to teach those five brats a lesson, but instead, he was beaten into a pig's head!

I, the second son of a dignified official in the Ministry of Rites, was beaten by five young kids!

Damn it!

They all deserve to die!

Later, he sent people to monitor the group of five around the clock, preparing to take revenge at any time.

It was fine at first; the group of five was at Ruyan's place.

But later, after those people left, they could no longer be found.

No matter how he searched, he just couldn't find them.

It was as if those five had evaporated into thin air!

This feeling of being unable to take revenge almost made him suffer internal injuries.

"Young master, we have news!" a servant's shout came from the door.

"Come in quickly!" Tai Shou's spirits immediately lifted!

"Young master!" The servant rushed in and reported, "Today, an informant saw those five appear three thousand miles north of the imperial city, and we are currently tracking them."

"It's just that..." the servant hesitated here. "Those five are now carrying a coffin, and there are a few strange spirit beasts with them."

"Who cares about the coffin and the spirit beasts, I want them dead!" Tai Shou excitedly rushed out of the room. "I'll go ask my father for help now."

"Second young master, I have been waiting for a long time," an old man in a Taoist robe walked towards him. "I already know about the matter, and I will deal with them for you now."
