Chapter 328: Nonsense
When the elder saw the man in the spiritual herb garden alongside the empty space where the top-tier spiritual plant had been, his gaze froze, and then boundless anger surged within him as he shouted at the man,
“Thief, dare to steal my Alchemy Peak’s spiritual plants? You shall pay with your life!”
Feeling the elder’s Void Refinement stage aura, the man’s eyes filled with despair.
At this level, even if he used a secret method, he would not be a match for him. Moreover, he had just opened the formation and had exhausted all his magical energy.
Now, the effects of the secret method had worn off, and his strength had even declined, leaving him no chance to fight the elder at his peak!
Seeing that his life was hanging by a thread, the man shouted,
“No! I didn’t do it!”
“Accuse! I want to accuse!”
…
“Tai Jin? What a terrible name! Never heard of it!”
Ji Yang, who had just exited the passage, lightly remarked as he listened to the echoes behind him.
Then Ji Yang quickly looked around and saw that there were no other cultivators present. After assessing his surroundings, he realized that he was still within Alchemy Peak and not very far from the spiritual herb garden.
Hearing the commotion coming from the herb garden, Ji Yang no longer hesitated and decisively flew away!
Once that person was caught, he would likely give away his identity. He regretted revealing his current identity earlier, as it increased the chances of being discovered.
He had to leave the Heaven Demon Sect before it was too late!
At that moment, Ji Yang no longer concealed his presence!
His realm combined with the boost from the Art of Ascension made him feel as if he had divine assistance.
The guard disciples outside of Alchemy Peak only dozed off, feeling a gentle breeze pass by.
When they looked up, no figure could be seen.
Soon after, the messaging talismans at the waists of several guard disciples began to glow rapidly.
Upon hearing the news of the herb garden being robbed, the expressions of the group turned to confusion, and they quickly activated the great formation of Alchemy Peak, on high alert for any cultivators attempting to escape!
As the great formation opened, the disciples inside the peak also emerged from their seclusion, eager to investigate the situation.
At this moment, Ji Yang was still on his way to leave the Heaven Demon Sect.
What set large sects apart from other sects was that leaving the sect required a certain amount of time.
With the Art of Ascension disguising his movements, Ji Yang’s departure didn’t attract the attention of patrolling disciples along the way.
…
“What? The Dragon Heart Nine Leaf Mushroom isn’t on him?”
In the spiritual herb garden of Alchemy Peak, an elder with a stern expression listened to the report from the disciples below and questioned in confusion.
“Reporting to the elder, I have already searched this person thoroughly. All the spiritual plants that disappeared from the spiritual fields were found on him, but there was no trace of the Dragon Heart Nine Leaf Mushroom!”
Upon hearing this, the elder’s expression grew cold.
The loss of all the mid-tier spiritual plants from the herb garden could not compare to even a single leaf of the Dragon Heart Nine Leaf Mushroom.
The elder initially thought he could capture the thief and quickly return the spiritual plants, but now he was told that the plants were not on him.
At that moment, the elder recalled the words of the man he had just knocked unconscious. He immediately used his magic to awaken him and coldly asked,
“Tell me, where is the Dragon Heart Nine Leaf Mushroom?”
“Bring it to me, and I might spare your life!”
Awakened, Tai Jin hurriedly replied,
“It was taken by Feng Yu, a disciple of your Alchemy Peak! Hurry and chase after him; he can’t have run far. If you wait too long, it’ll be too late!”
“Hmph, nonsense!”
Hearing Tai Jin’s words, the elder immediately retorted,
“Feng Yu is a rising star in my Alchemy Peak. Her Alchemy Techniques have earned her respect. How could she steal a top-tier spiritual plant from the spiritual herb garden?”
“At this point, you still dare to lie! Beat him!”
The elder’s actions left Tai Jin dumbfounded. He had told the truth, yet this elder didn’t believe him! Instead, he would beat him! Tai Jin felt helpless and could only say,
“If you don’t believe me, go check on Feng Yu in your Alchemy Peak and see if she’s still around!”
Seeing Tai Jin’s determined tone, which didn’t seem like a lie, the elder showed a hint of doubt on his face.
Feng Yu had gained quite a reputation in Alchemy Peak recently, and he had heard that she had been eager to help the sect by refining some pills.
Such a person, who cared for the sect, would not resort to stealing from the herb garden.
However, the elder still directed the nearby guard disciples,
“Quickly send a Transmission for Feng Yu to come! Be respectful!”
Whether true or not could be verified quickly.
Moreover, with the great formation of Alchemy Peak now active, it was unlikely anyone could leave the peak in such a short time, making the recovery of the Dragon Heart Nine Leaf Mushroom quite promising.
As the disciples verified, the elder soon received a response through the Transmission.
Upon hearing the reply, the elder’s expression froze.
Feng Yu was not in the Alchemy Room, and there were no traces of her in Alchemy Peak either.
The token he had given her was left behind in her Alchemy Room!
The succession of news gave the elder an uneasy premonition.
If this truly was Feng Yu’s doing, it might spark significant trouble, especially since Feng Yu had become a famous figure in Alchemy Peak. If this incident became public, how could his peak maintain its reputation?
Just as the elder was preparing to report further, an old man’s figure suddenly solidified and appeared before them.
Tai Jin remained unaware and felt a new presence nearby. Sensing the old man’s unfathomable power, Tai Jin silently averted his gaze.
The elder quickly bowed and greeted,
“Greetings, Peak Master Fu!”
The old man, slightly hunched like an ordinary farmer, had a calm gaze, as if nothing was of concern to him.
From this elder’s words, it was clear that this person was the current leader of Alchemy Peak and the Deputy Peak Master – Fu He!
“What’s going on?”
Hearing the old man’s indifferent inquiry, the elder quickly relayed everything that had occurred.
After listening, Peak Master Fu frowned slightly. He had intended to visit this newly acclaimed genius of Alchemy Peak in some time, but instead, he received such a spectacle.
“Interesting!”
Peak Master Fu murmured.
However, there were only two top-tier spiritual plants in the Alchemy Peak, and he couldn’t afford to lose either!
In the next moment, Peak Master Fu sent out several messages.
Once he dispatched the transmissions, the entire Heaven Demon Sect came alive, and even the patrolling cultivators outside increased in number.
After completing these actions, the old man addressed the elder again,
“I have already informed the Sect Leader. The sect will be on high alert from now on. Additionally, you should personally investigate this person’s background!”
The theft of the spiritual herb garden was a tremendous disgrace for Alchemy Peak.
If other peaks of the sect found out, they would surely mock them.
However, compared to face, he believed that the spiritual plants were far more important.
Relying solely on Alchemy Peak clearly wouldn’t allow them to track this person’s whereabouts, and it was rumored that Feng Yu didn’t even have a soul lamp in the sect!
Looking at it this way, the situation was indeed complicated!
