The Legendary Master’s Wife - Chap 162

Chapter 162: Take Action

You XiaoMo did not notice that Ling Xiao was back; he was squatting on the ground with a look of pity on his face.

The seven disciples didn’t seem to have high positions in the Qing Cheng Sect as there were not many useful things in the seven magic bags.

Furthermore, because they were practitioners, the things in their magic bags were all fighting techniques, weapons, and low-level magic pills for their own use. As for magic herbs, he didn’t even see one. The only consolation was that the seven magic bags each had one hundred thousand to two hundred thousand gold coins.

You XiaoMo made a rough count. Altogether, his haul was about 1.02 million.

Ling Xiao looked at the scene of You XiaoMo piling up the fighting techniques and the other things that were of no use to him to one side. He then picked up a magic bag while smiling happily. Ling Xiao had thought that he would be frightened so he had rushed back as quickly as he could after killing Ye Dan.

Looking at this now, he was simply worried for nothing. You XiaoMo’s ability to adapt to dead bodies was even stronger than he imagined.

You XiaoMo turned around to see Ling Xiao standing behind him, looking at him with a teasing expression. His gaze seemed to be on the magic bag in his hand. He hastily shoved the things behind him and awkwardly changed the subject, “Ling-shixiong. Has that Ye Dan been taken care of?”

“All taken care of. I also brought back his magic bag.” Ling Xiao beamed as he spoke. How could he not know what he was thinking? He casually tossed the magic bag in his hand pretending not to see the covetous look in You XiaoMo’s eyes that were almost glowing green with greed.

You XiaoMo’s eyes followed the magic bag as it was tossed up and down. Saliva was almost flowing out of his mouth.

Ye Dan’s position in the Qing Cheng Sect was higher than the seven disciples and was also Luo ChengYuan’s direct disciple. There was good stuff in his magic bag. However, looking at Ling Xiao’s demeanor, it was going to be a little problematic to get his hands on this magic bag.

You XiaoMo considered for a bit and then gathered together the magic pills from the seven magic bags. There were not many mid-level magic pills, only twelve, and they were all level four and level five. No level six magic pills. There were three bottles of low level magic pills. However, each bottle had less than fifty pills. Clearly, the seven people had quite a pitiful time in the Qing Cheng Sect.

He then fished out a few bottles of magic pills from his own magic bag and brought them ingratiatingly to Ling Xiao, “Ling-shixiong, these are the magic pills you like to eat. I’ll give them all to you.”

Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows, but he didn’t take all the magic pills. Very quickly he picked out a few of the bottles and tossed them aside as You XiaoMo looked on in shock. Those few bottles were just the ones You XiaoMo picked up from the seven corpses.

You XiaoMo: “…” What the hell. You can’t just throw them if you don’t like it, ah. There were twelve mid-level magic pills in there. It was all money. Money! Money, ah! You can sell them for one hundred thousand to two hundred thousand!

You XiaoMo quickly ran over to pick up the magic pills.

Ling Xiao ignored his accusing eyes and said fussily, “I only eat the magic pills you refine.”

You XiaoMo glared at him but his anger soon dissipated. He already guessed it would be like this.

Ling Xiao stops teasing him and tosses the magic bag to him while smiling, “The Stinky grass and seeds are also in there…. ”

Because it was too smelly, he also stuffed the magic herbs and seeds inside.

“Blergh…” Before he could finish speaking, You XiaoMo already vomited.

Ling Xiao was speechless.

After vomiting, the feeble You XiaoMo looked resentfully at him. Couldn’t he have said it earlier? Causing him to be suffocated by the Stinky grass. Since he had never come across Stinky grass before, he didn’t know how smelly it was. So, after having that much right in his face all at once, it really made him want to throw up.

Ling Xiao looked at him innocently. He had already warned him. Who knew that his actions would be so quick?

Now was not the time to divide the spoils. He did not mind being discovered by others, in the worst case, he’d just kill them – but he knew that You XiaoMo wouldn’t be happy about it.

You XiaoMo also didn’t want to examine the contents of Ye Dan’s magic bag right there. This was the scene of the crime. If they were discovered by others, he had no doubts that Ling Xiao would silence them by killing them off.

So, after hastily clearing everything away, You XiaoMo and Ling Xiao left the Green Mountain Ravine. PiQiu was unwilling to return to the dimension, so he lagged far behind them.

Half an hour after they left, a few people reached the Green Mountain Ravine. As expected, they found seven dead bodies. These people also discovered Ye Dan who was killed by Ling Xiao.

“This is?” One of them wondered out loud.

“The disciple of the Qing Cheng Sect’s Luo ChengYuan, Ye Dan. His cultivation is Star level, one star.” One of the others gave him the answer right away.

“Haha. So quickly and a Star level fighter is dead. Can you make out who did it? I wonder what their strength is?” That person suddenly let out a strange laugh, seemingly very interested in the person who killed Ye Dan.

“I can’t,” the other person answered decisively.

Hearing this answer, that person’s lips opened wide, revealing horrifyingly white teeth, “Since it’s like that, leave behind the things we got from the Tian Xin Sect people we killed. Put the blame on the Tian Xin Sect.”

“Roger!” With that acquiescence, those few people disappeared once again. Where there were originally just seven dead bodies of the Qing Cheng Sect’s disciples, was now also the corpse of Ye Dan. In his hand was a magic bag and inside the magic bag the word ‘Xin’ was embroidered: the mark which was only used by the Tian Xin Sect.

It looked like a very poor attempt to plant stolen goods, but it was effective in the Paradise Realm.

At the same time, bloody massacres were going on in quite a few places in the Paradise Realm. In this place, everyone was to be tested. Hostility between sects; camaraderie within sects; lack of humanity or loss of humanity; people dying one after another; though some were more fortunate, this kind of situation was going to continue for a month.

Back to Ling Xiao and You XiaoMo. The destination they were heading for was the Jade Spiritual Cave marked on the map.

The Jade Spiritual Cave was rather famous in the Paradise Realm because that place was covered with mid-level magic herbs. It was also one of the places with the most mid-level demon beasts. If they had no other destination, most people would also choose to go to the Jade Spiritual Cave.

However, the road to the Jade Spiritual Cave was rugged and dangerous. One would easily come across all sorts of demon beasts that traveled in packs, such as the Black Crows they came across before. Although their strengths were low, they were hard to deal with because of their numbers. Therefore, it seemed impossible to reach the Jade Spiritual Cave without encountering some difficulties.

But was not the same with a map. Relying on the map, one could effectively avoid the lairs of the demon beasts and find the fastest and most convenient way to reach the Jade Spiritual Cave.

However, because their map was incomplete, they would occasionally come across the habitats of demon beasts that lived in packs. Such a thing was much less frequent than what others would come across. They also wouldn’t have to face too much danger.

The one in charge of gathering the magic herbs and seeds was Ling Xiao and they were able to leave the place before alarming the demon beasts.

Of course, all this was just what You XiaoMo thought. Ling Xiao did not bring him in, so he didn’t see it with his own eyes. If he were to see, he probably wouldn’t think like this anymore because judging by Ling Xiao’s character, he was simply not someone who would move around stealthily and cautiously.

Furthermore, he was not a mage, so he had no way of using his soul force like You XiaoMo to dig up the magic herbs. Therefore, he would simply dig up a small patch including the soil around the magic herbs, and then put it into his dimension. However, if the magic herb were to drop seeds, he would simply pick up the seeds.

Such obvious movements would alarm the demon beasts. However, every time Ling Xiao walked in, he would simply release an intimidating pressure, frightening the demon beasts, causing them all to fall to the ground and shiver in fear. There was no need to talk about resisting.

But on the way, PiQiu attracted some trouble.

The nature of the Blue-Blooded Wolf was to kill and PiQiu was no exception.

As a result, because he was overly excited, he accidentally provoked a swarm of Ghost-faced Bees. At that time, Ling Xiao happened to be away picking magic herbs for You XiaoMo. Luckily, he made it back in time, otherwise, he would have been stung by the ghost-faced bees.

Ghost-faced Bees were a type of low-level demon beasts. Just one was not strong, but if ten thousand came all at once, even a Moon level fighter would be sucked dry of blood. On top of that, the stinger was coated with an extremely effective numbing anesthetic. One would lose all ability to move if stung. For a specific demonstration, one could refer to the one that was stung, PiQiu.

If Ling Xiao did not come back in time, PiQiu would have turned into a deflated ball.

After that, PiQiu lost all ability to move, and was temporarily put back into the dimension by You XiaoMo.

Walking and stopping along the way, Ling Xiao dug up quite a lot of rare magic herbs for You XiaoMo. However, most of them were low-level and very few were mid-level. By the time they reached the Jade Spiritual Cave, two days have already passed.

The moment they landed, the sound of clashing swords caught their attention.

The sound was coming from somewhere in front of them.

A huge lake lay across the road to the Jade Spiritual Cave and the only way to reach it was to fly across the lake. Right now, there seemed to be a group of people before the lake.

Looking into the distance, there were two factions exchanging blows.

As luck would have it, Ling Xiao and You XiaoMo recognized these two groups.

The group on the left was dressed in green robes. On the back of the robes, the mark that was unique to the Tian Xin Sect was imprinted. The grave-faced leader was Elder Shi. The people on the other side were from the Qing Cheng Sect, but it was not Luo ShuHe, but a Second-Generation Elder from the Qing Cheng Sect with a Seven-star Star Level cultivation.

However, the combined strength of the people from the Qing Cheng Sect was a little higher than the people from the Tian Xin Sect, because they had another Three-Star Star Level Second Generation Elder. That was to say, if they fought it out, the Tian Xin Sect only had Elder Shi, a one Star level fighter. If he were unable to stop the attacks from the two Star level fighters, the Tian Xin Sect’s disciples would not make it out alive.

That was why Elder Shi’s face was so unsightly. Out of all the people to come across, they just had to run into the Qing Cheng Sect’s strongest group. Ling Xiao had no intention of caring about the life and death of Elder Shi and the rest, but You XiaoMo wouldn’t allow it, because Fang ChenYue was also down there.

Fang ChenYue had no combat ability. If Elder Shi were to fall, he would be the first to get killed because his talent was high, he was among the top five in the Mage Division. Even the people from the Qing Cheng Sect had heard of him. They just had to kill him, and the Tian Xin Sect would lose a future high-level mage.

Elder Shi also clearly knew this, so he sent two disciples of considerable strength to protect him.

“Ling-shixiong, what are we going to do now?” You XiaoMo pulled Ling Xiao’s arm urgently.

Although he did not understand combat strategy, he could see that the Tian Xin Sect was somewhat at a disadvantage, seeing Elder Shi retreat step by step, a few Qing Cheng Sect’s disciples inched closer and closer towards Da shixiong.

“Shh!” Ling Xiao motioned for him to stop panicking and picked up a pebble from the ground.

The pebble was roughly half the size of a thumb. Ling Xiao put it in between two fingers and twisted it lightly into two small pieces. Exerting force from his fingertips, the two tiny fragments flew swiftly, shooting off in two different directions.

One of the pieces hit the Qing Cheng Sect’s disciple who was going to kill Fang ChenYue, while the other piece shot towards the Qing Cheng Sect Elder who had the highest cultivation.

The sneak attack that appeared out of nowhere caused that Elder to turn pale with fright. He warded off Elder Shi’s attack, but was unable to stop the small pebble. After being hit, the spiritual energy in his meridians surged in chaos, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood violently. Once he inspected the condition in his body, he discovered that he had already sustained internal injuries, leaving him extremely shocked.

Although Elder Shi wasn’t clear about what happened, his reaction was very fast. He immediately seized the opportunity and concentrated all his firepower on the other Elder whose strength was much inferior to his. Due to the difference in strength being too great, that Elder was very quickly pierced through the heart by Elder Shi’s sword.

The Elder with the upper hand discovered that someone was secretly helping the Tian Xin Sect, and on top of that, that person’s strength didn’t seem to be low. In extreme shock, he hastily ordered his junior disciples to withdraw.

Elder Shi did not pursue them to press for victory. Fighting off two Elders one after another, the spiritual energy in his body was almost depleted. Furthermore, he also realized that there was someone secretly helping them. He didn’t know what that person’s intention was, so he couldn’t rashly take off.

“Thank you, Elder, for your help. Would Elder care to make an appearance to allow my humble self to offer my thanks?” Elder Shi was certain that the person who acted was not from the Tian Xin Sect. Otherwise, he would have already shown himself. Furthermore, that person’s strength seemed to be considerable. Able to use a pebble to inflict internal injuries on the Qing Cheng Sect’s Elder, clearly that person’s strength was equivalent to theirs. If they could befriend him, the following journey would go much more smoothly.

Since there was a restriction on cultivation level in the Paradise Realm, they did not suspect that it could be a fighter of even higher cultivation.

Ling Xiao paid him no heed as he was currently holding his hand over You XiaoMo’s mouth.
