Chapter 160: No Way
“Junior Brother Ji, not to brag, but who in the sect can craft magical tools better than I do?”
“Besides, wasn’t that magical tool of yours crafted by me? Did you find it easy to use?”
Seeing Elder Chai’s furious expression, Ji Yang slowed down his movements and nodded in response:
“The magical tools crafted by Elder Chai are indeed good, but I only have this little bit of Xuan Iron Mine and no other materials, so I probably can’t make anything decent; let’s just forget about it!”
“I’ll come back to ask for your help, Elder, when I collect the other materials.”
Ji Yang said helplessly.
Elder Chai gritted his teeth:
“That’s not a problem. I still have some leftover materials. Not only for crafting magical tools, but I can even make you a treasure, and I’ll give it to you!”
Upon hearing this, Ji Yang slowed down his movements even more, but he still didn’t stop; he just sighed again:
“Common magical tools are no longer beneficial to me. I plan to break through to a higher realm and then directly craft a treasure. It will last longer. Even if Elder Chai has extra materials, I probably can’t afford to pay for the crafting fee, so let’s forget about it!”
Elder Chai clenched his teeth again:
“It’s just a treasure, isn’t it? I can easily craft you a satisfactory treasure for free!”
Ji Yang paused, his actions slowing down again.
Seeing this, Elder Chai quickly spoke up:
“Junior Brother Ji, was I not just speaking up for you earlier?”
Ji Yang scratched his head:
“Elder Chai, your warm invitation is hard to decline. I have no reason to refuse! I will certainly show my respect for you with these Xuan Iron Mines!”
“Just for that treasure, if you want something like this…”
……
Elder Chai’s face darkened. Is this your way of showing respect? You’re almost scraping me clean. If you don’t speak up, I wouldn’t even expect to get a spiritual treasure, let alone a flying sword.
But thinking about the Top-Quality Xuan Iron Mines in Ji Yang’s hands, he held back!
At least Ji Yang didn’t ask him to reinforce his iron pick again. Perhaps this time Ji Yang really intended to create a powerful weapon!
Elder Chai noticed that Ji Yang excelled at using swords, and perhaps he wanted him to help craft a treasure flying sword!
Moreover, Ji Yang had gained some reputation in the sect, and with such unique talent, crafting a flying sword for him wouldn’t tarnish his own name.
With this in mind, Elder Chai felt much better and began to listen to Ji Yang’s requests for crafting the treasure.
Beside them, Elder Lu felt envious. He wondered when he would be able to request help from the elder to craft a treasure himself.
Thinking about the spiritual stones he had saved, he estimated it would still take him several decades.
However, today he had not faced any punishment. Looking at the thickness of this mine, ten years would be enough!
If he’s a bit greedier, five years!
But soon Elder Lu thought about another concern – Ji Yang would be leaving. What would happen to the blessings of 12120 from the Xuan Iron Mine?
Without Ji Yang, the other disciples would be unable to eliminate the energy of the earth demons and wouldn’t be able to mine at night.
However, as Elder Lu saw the sunken eyes and pale faces of many disciples, along with some disciples waking up in a daze, he felt a twinge of conscience.
Forget it, let them rest a bit.
Next time, he would discuss with Ji Yang and see if he could learn that Small Rain Technique!
…
A streak of light flashed across the sky.
Upon closer inspection, the figure in the light was none other than Elder Shu, who had just left!
After using the escape technique to leave the mine, Elder Shu rushed back, eager to return to the sect.
In his mind, Ji Yang had already bewitched the Sect Master and others, and they were on their way back. Perhaps they would spread this deceptive method to other elders, stewards, and disciples…
Even if it was useless, that “Ji Yang” would definitely come to the sect. At that time, the entire sect would surely fall under Ji Yang’s spell.
If he acted too slowly, it would be too late for regrets!
This was also the reason he was so eager to use the escape technique, wanting to get ahead and warn the other elders before the Sect Master returned.
He didn’t know if the plan would work.
But whether it would or not, he had to try to find out.
Imagining a day when Ji Yang sat in the Sect Master’s position at the sect assembly, chatting and laughing, Elder Shu felt a chill run down his spine, and he flew even faster!
Just as Elder Shu flew with all his might, a few blurry figures suddenly appeared ahead on the road.
Elder Shu’s expression brightened. Could they be other elders?
From the direction they were coming, it was clear they were heading toward the mine.
No, he must stop a few people from going to the mine!
But as Elder Shu flew closer, a chill suddenly filled his heart.
Those were not the other elders; it was the Sect Master and the others who had left a while ago.
Elder Jian, Elder Liu, and Elder Yan were all here!
They were smiling, their eyes on him, with warm smiles on their faces!
What is this? Have they been waiting for me?
Did they find the flaw that I was not deceived?
Once I get close, will they join forces to strangle me?
To kill me and silence me!
My life is in danger!
Although he had the strength to fight one elder, there were four people present, and the Sect Master was among them. He had no chance of survival!
At that moment, Elder Shu stopped, a chill rising all around him, and cold sweat forming on his back!
Looking at the few people blocking the way, Elder Shu’s expression hardened. He spat out a mouthful of vital blood, which infused into his body, unleashing powerful spiritual energy! He used this energy to wrap around himself and rush towards another path!
He must return to the sect!
He cannot be blocked by the Sect Master and the others! Otherwise, he definitely would not survive until tomorrow!
A few injuries don’t matter; at this critical moment for the sect, he must take the risk!
On the other side.
"Sigh, this young man is difficult to handle. We will have to trouble Elder Jian and Elder Yan from the Law Enforcement Hall later!"
"Don’t worry, Sect Master. We will take care of it."
"That’s good!"
"Elder Shu is coming!"
With the Sect Master’s words, everyone turned to look at Elder Shu flying over!
The Sect Master felt it necessary to explain the recent events separately.
Since this road was the closest to the sect, they simply stopped there.
Elder Jian and Elder Liu had experienced this situation before, so they were not surprised. They also felt the need to explain; it was not solely aimed at Elder Shu.
And Li Daoyi, being the Sect Master, truly lived up to his position.
"Hey, wasn’t Elder Shu just in the Void Refinement stage? It seems he has made significant progress recently. He truly is the most outstanding among the new elders."
"Hiss, something feels off. It seems he is using some kind of secret method?"
As they observed, they all began to speak up.
The Sect Master smiled, feeling the gentle breeze:
"It’s okay, we will know once Elder Shu gets here."
"Wait? Why did Elder Shu stop?"
"Mm? Is that the Blood Escape secret method?"
"What’s happening? Why did Elder Shu leave?"
The waiting group looked at Elder Shu, who was quickly departing while using the secret method, with a sense of confusion on their faces.
Li Daoyi paused as well; as the Sect Master, he personally waited to explain, but why hadn’t Elder Shu arrived yet? This was too disrespectful to him.
The other three elders also appeared puzzled, not understanding what was happening, but they could see the Sect Master looked displeased.
Elder Liu spoke up to explain:
"Perhaps Elder Shu has something urgent to attend to? That’s why he hurried back?"
Elder Jian and Elder Yan slightly nodded in agreement; it seemed reasonable, or else he wouldn’t have used the Blood Escape secret method.
After hearing this, Li Daoyi nodded:
"That’s fine. In that case, please have Elder Liu explain later."
"I will follow the Sect Master’s orders."
