When this shadowy figure slipped by, the young ladies of Yihong Courtyard were immediately stirred up.
Pointing and shouting, they began yelling,
"It's him! It's him!"
"That's right, it's him, hurry and catch him!"
"Lu Benwei, don't run!"
But that figure in black robes was like a loach, slipping through all the obstructions and bolting onto the main street.
Yi Feng was dumbfounded in that moment.
When he came to his senses, he flew into a rage.
It turned out this Lu Benwei was that damn skeleton!
He had thought that the damn skeleton had been letting him off easy recently. Who would have thought that he was accumulating more and more trouble for him?"You mongrel, die for me!"
In his fury, Yi Feng took off his shoe and flung it at that damn skeleton.
That figure in black robes bounced his legs and in a flash was gone without a trace.
Unable to catch up to Lu Benwei, they could only turn back to get money from Yi Feng.
Seeing the women who would strip his skin if he didn't pay, Yi Feng gritted his teeth and reluctantly took out his money jar.
More than half was gone in one go.
No good.
It pained his heart.
In that moment, Yi Feng sentenced that skeleton to death in his mind.
After sending away the women from Yihong Courtyard, Yi Feng hobbled along in one shoe into the inner chamber, weighed his much lighter money jar, and the more he thought about it the angrier he got.
Damn it all.
He was usually so frugal, comparing prices at three stores even when buying wine, yet his savings were spent wildly by that damn dog.
In extreme anger, he could only vent into the air.
With a kick, his other shoe flew off.
Whoosh.
What a coincidence, it flew into a crack under the stone slabs.
In the crack was a centipede, scared into losing two legs by the sudden shoe.
"Hah!"
"Hah!"
"Hah!"
"Hah ha!"
"Hah ha!"
"My heart, my little heart, hah ha, hah ha..."
The centipede patted its chest with its legs, panting heavily for a long time before it finally calmed down.
Then its face was full of sorrow.
What the hell was going on with its goddamn life!
Wailing inwardly while looking at its few remaining legs, its face was full of ashes.
After escaping from that spatial ring, it thought it had cheated death. But it didn't expect to come to such a terrifying place.
The auras equal to demon sovereigns and demon lords that occasionally appeared could be tolerated. But when they finally left and it could escape, it discovered that terrifying fluctuations permeated this whole place.
After running just a few yards, it had already lost eight legs.
Seeing that there was no hope of escaping, it could only crawl back into this crack in the stones, clinging to life and getting by day after day.
But damn it all, things couldn't keep going on like this!
Oh well, it would keep clinging on.
As long as it didn't die, there was always hope for life.
Just then, a red glow appeared on the horizon, illuminating half the sky. A phantom even seemed to appear in the glow, and this aberration of heaven and earth shocked everyone.
"What's going on?"
In the wastelands, Wu Yonghong raised his head.
"It must be either a supreme being's cave breaking through the earth, or an unparalleled treasure being born," Chu Kuangshi said eagerly.
"What should we do?" Sun Zhuge asked.
At this, they both looked to Wu Yonghong.
After slight consideration, Wu Yonghong said, "If this was before, we would naturally go join in the fun. But now that we're following the Master, there's no need."
"But more benefits can't hurt, right?"
"That's right!"
Chu Kuangshi and Sun Zhuge still held onto hope, looking eager.
"Sigh." Wu Yonghong shook his head. "In this regard, even that crap hauler is smarter than you two."
Hearing this, Chu Kuangshi and Sun Zhuge looked over to see Lu DaSheng dutifully hauling crap, completely ignoring the celestial omens.
"He understands that following the Master is better than fighting over any cave or treasures. Why can't you two see that?" Wu Yonghong reprimanded them.
Hearing this, the two finally came to their senses.
Showing shame,
That's right.
What treasures could compare to following the Master?
"Let them fight over it then, hahaha."
"That's right, hahaha, we have no need anymore."
Chu Kuangshi and Sun Zhuge exchanged a glance and laughed loudly, rather arrogantly.
The abnormal celestial signs lasted three whole days.
Qingshan Sect.
Qingshan Patriarch sat at the head, frowning as he listened to Zhu Yun's report.
"Reporting to Martial Uncle, the situation is confirmed. It should be a cave left behind a millennium ago in Pingjiang City by the Martial Saint Jiang Yu. It has already caused a huge commotion across all of Nansha, with countless forces hurrying over."
"The known arrivals so far are Fifth Young Lord of Blowing Snow Mountain Villa, Saint Maiden Yun Xianque of Wind and Cloud Valley, and of course Heavenly Sword Sect's newest genius female disciple, Peng Xianer."
"That's not even mentioning the countless other masters whose names are unknown."
"Saint Maiden Yun Xianque sent word to our Qingshan Sect a day ago. Because our local Qingshan Sect has many conveniences, she wants us to cooperate fully with Wind and Cloud Valley. If we can secure the cave, she promised us twenty percent of the spoils."
"Please, Patriarch, make your decision."
Hearing this, Qingshan Patriarch was silent for a long time before he slowly exhaled. "This is no trivial matter. It will turn Pingjiang City into a huge whirlpool. If we're careless, our whole sect could be wiped out under the temptation of a Martial Saint's tomb!"
"So I need to consult the Master first before making a decision!"
"Oh?"
"Very well."
Hearing it was him, Zhu Yun had no objections and immediately agreed.
In a flash, Qingshan Patriarch was at the Martial Arts Academy.
"Master, I've brought some fine wine for you," Qingshan Patriarch said with a grin.
"Oh?" Yi Feng took it and smelled it, smiling. "The wine isn't bad. You still dote on me, you old geezer!"
Then the two chatted casually.
"Pingjiang City hasn't been peaceful recently, huh!"
Seeing the much livelier streets, Yi Feng sighed feelingly, then looked to Qingshan Patriarch. "I heard that celestial omen was some kind of cave. What do you think?"
Hearing this, Qingshan Patriarch was slightly shocked inwardly.
He marveled that the Master already knew his purpose for coming. Humbly, he said, "Master jests. I'm more interested in the Master's thoughts on this matter."
"Just look on at the lively scene for amusement and casual chat. That's it for these kinds of caves," Yi Feng said with a shake of his head and laugh.
Qingshan Patriarch nodded inwardly.
As expected, the Master looks down on such caves. He's only interested in watching the lively scene.
But while Yi Feng could ignore it, he might not be able to. After all, he still had a sect below him. Slightly hesitant, he asked, "Actually, to be honest with Master, I was thinking of taking a look. What does Master think?"
"You?"
Yi Feng shook his head.
Seeing this, Qingshan Patriarch's heart thumped. He hurriedly asked, "What does Master mean by this?"
