Chapter 1172: Danger

After Ou Yangming grabbed the jade badge, he immediately threw it into the poisonous pill’s world.

This item could not be put into the Long Feather Band, and he could feel the remaining aura on it.

A figure flashed, and Ou Yangming hurriedly left.

The Rulers chasing after the badge had noticed that something was wrong.

Among them, a white-robed man with a sharp look looked in the direction of the jade badge, and his expression changed slightly.

“The aura of the Alchemy Scripture—why did it disappear?”

The Alchemy Scripture was the jade badge that they had been chasing after.

Before this, the man had clearly locked onto the aura of the jade badge. He had not expected that it would disappear into thin air after only a short while, cutting off all connections with him.

He and the others sped up.

When they arrived at the place where Ou Yangming had been, the white-robed man did not look well. The jade badge had disappeared here just now.

“Search for it. You must find the Alchemy Scripture!”

“Yes, Senior Brother Chu.”

The other Rulers spread out. They seemed to respect this white-robed young man very much.

If Meng Chenghe and Steward Mo were here, they would definitely recognize this young man.

Chu Jingyun was a direct disciple of the Mystic Sky Sect’s Sword School. He was powerful and had a mysterious background. He was one of the top direct disciples of the sect.

After a while, the people who had scattered flew back again. They all had disappointed looks on their faces.

“Senior Brother Chu, we searched everywhere. We couldn’t find any traces of it at all.”

Chu Jingyun’s expression was gloomy as he said in a deep voice, “The Alchemy Scripture that appeared this time is very likely the inheritance left behind by the Mystic Sky Sect’s Alchemy-Ruler-level Grandmaster. We can’t let it fall into the hands of others.”

The inheritance of an Alchemy-Ruler-level Grandmaster was no small matter. There were only 2 or 3 such figures in the Mystic Sky Sect at the moment.

Those who were qualified to be called Alchemy Rulers showed that they had achieved great achievements in the path of alchemy.

The jade badge could not have disappeared into thin air. There must be some special reason for it to suddenly disappear.

Chu Jingyun’s expression was not good. He coldly said, “Continue to search. Even if you have to dig the ground, you must find the Alchemy Scripture for me.”

After a long time…

A few Rulers searched the entire mountain but still could not find the jade badge. This made everyone feel baffled.

‘Where did the Alchemy Scripture go?’

‘Could it have been obtained by someone?’

Chu Jingyun looked at the low hills in the distance and asked, “What’s that place over there?”

The person next to him answered, “That’s where the Mystic Sky Sect’s outer sect disciples are stationed. The ones closest to us should be Spiritual Medicines Mountains.”

“Let’s go and take a look over there.”

Chu Jingyun stepped on the air and flew in front. The others hurriedly followed. Although they did not think that the Alchemy Scripture could be obtained by those outer sect disciples, they had no choice but to obey Chu Jingyun’s orders.

The Alchemy School had many Spiritual Medicine Mountains. The densely packed hills were planted with low-grade spiritual medicines. Each small hill was guarded by an outer sect disciple.

Chu Jingyun and the other Rulers searched all the way here.

“You! Have you seen any suspicious person come over?”

The group of Rulers looked down from above and did not pay any attention to the outer sect disciple on the mountain. They were direct disciples, after all. Even if they killed an outer sect disciple, they would not be punished.

“No… No…”

The outer sect disciple on the mountain was shocked. He could feel the terrifying auras coming from those people.

“Are you sure you didn’t see anyone? Don’t lie to me, or don’t blame us for being impolite.”

A young man next to Chu Jingyun stepped on the ground, and the 10-meter-wide boulder split open with a loud cracking sound.

The outer sect disciple was so scared that he took 2 steps back and almost fell to the ground.

“Forget it, Jingshan. There’s no need to scare him. He should be telling the truth.” Chu Jingyun’s gaze seemed to be able to see through the outer sect disciple’s mind.

“Take out your interspatial treasure and let me take a look!”

He Jingshan shouted coldly.

That outer sect disciple clutched the interspatial bag on his waist. ‘These are my belongings. Are they here to rob me?’

The young outer sect disciple’s heart was filled with grief and indignation. ‘So many supreme powerhouses are ganging up to rob me. I’m just a mere outer sect disciple. Is there any justice in this? Do laws exist?’

“B*stard!”

He Jingshan moved his fingers, and the outer sect disciple was pushed to the ground. He took a step forward and arrived in front of the disciple in an instant, grabbing the interspatial bag.

Afterward, he scanned it with his mental power.

Whatever was inside appeared clearly in his mind.

Inside the interspatial bag were some very simple materials, a few magic tools, and 2 Qi-replenishing Pills.

He Jingshan glanced at them and threw the interspatial bag on the ground. To him, those things were no different from trash. Even if they were thrown on the ground, he would not even look at them.

The few Rulers did not even glance at the outer sect disciple on the ground. They flew toward the next Spiritual Medicines Mountain.

Very soon, it was Ou Yangming’s turn.

Chu Jingyun and his men searched one by one not because they thought that these outer sect disciples had a chance to obtain the Alchemy Scripture, but mainly because they wanted to ask if the disciples had seen anyone suspicious.

The Alchemy Scripture had a spirit. It was unwilling to submit to even a genius like Chu Jingyun, let alone these outer sect disciples who were significant to the Rulers.

As for checking their interspatial bags, it was just a matter of convenience.

“What’s your name?”

He Jingshan landed on the ground. As for the others, they were still in the air.

“My name is Ou Yangming.”

A strange light flashed in Ou Yangming’s eyes as answered calmly.

He originally thought that the Rulers had noticed something but after seeing their behavior, he realized that it was not the case. Early in the morning, he was careful and did not expose his whereabouts.

Since they did not notice anything, Ou Yangming had nothing to worry about.

“Did you see any suspicious stranger today?” He Jingshan asked.

Ou Yangming responded calmly, “I was cultivating in the morning and didn’t see anyone.”

He Jingshan looked at the young fellow again. “You’re quite calm. Aren’t you afraid that I’ll kill you?”

“Of course, I’m afraid,” Ou Yangming said slowly, “but I figured that you’re the core disciples of the Mystic Sky Sect. I’m just a small outer sect disciple, so I’m not worth it. Besides, I heard that the core disciples of the Mystic Sky Sect are all good people.”

“Good people? Hahaha…” He Jingshan laughed loudly. He found this young fellow more interesting. Other people trembled in fear when they saw him, but this young fellow was not afraid at all. ‘Does he really think that we’re good people?’

“The path of cultivation is a road of killing. Young fella, let me tell you. There are no good people on this path. Those who treat you well are lying to you.”

He Jingshan said coldly. His gaze focused as he said again, “Young fella, take out your interspatial bag and let me check it.”

Ou Yangming opened the interspatial bag on his waist and threw it over without any hesitation. This interspatial bag had been given to him when he had become an outer sect disciple. Inside it were 2 very ordinary magic tools and the 3 Qi-replenishing Pills that the Bai family’s brothers had given him.

He Jingshan scanned the bag. The items inside were very standard. They were standard items for outer sect disciples, but he frowned.

This was because he did not see any daily necessities from this interspatial bag.

He Jingshan retracted his gaze and asked again, “Do you have any other interspatial equipment?”

His voice was sharp as if he was certain that Ou Yangming had hidden other pieces of interspatial equipment on him.

Ou Yangming was shocked. He did not expect the man to see through him so quickly. He had many pieces of interspatial equipment, and the most eye-catching one was the Long Feather Band. As he did not expect the Rulers to come over, he did not have the time to put it away.

The Long Feather Band was forged from a phoenix’s feather. It was rare and could not be obtained by ordinary people. If it was discovered by the other party, they would certainly have doubts. Moreover, the key was the things inside. There were countless smithing materials, several million high-grade spirit coins, divine spiritual herbs, the Seven-colored Heavenly Fragrant Flower, and the Dragon Fragrant Herbs inside. Those things must not be exposed, or Ou Yangming’s identity would be exposed as well.

“No!” Ou Yangming’s expression did not change. He shook his head. No one could see any abnormality on his face.

He Jingshan took a step forward and questioned, “Are you sure?”

In the sky, the other Rulers were getting impatient.

“What exactly is Jingshan doing? Why is he dawdling with an outer sect disciple!” Another direct disciple beside Chu Jingyun asked.

Chu Jingyun was very calm. He did not care about this little bit of time. If he took back the Alchemy Scripture, even if he wasted more time, it would be worth it.

The Alchemy Scripture was his opportunity. He absolutely could not let it fall into the hands of others.

At the spur of the moment, Chu Jingyun frowned.

He took out a badge from his interspatial band. With a surprised look in his eyes, he said, “An honored guest has arrived. The elder wants us to go back.”

“Jingshan, let’s go. The elder wants us to go back right away.”

Chu Jingyun called out.

He Jingshan stopped and stared at Ou Yangming before shifting his gaze away from him.

He got up and flew into the sky.

The few of them disappeared in a flash. They came and left quickly.

Seeing that those people had left, Ou Yangming heaved a sigh of relief. He had almost fought with He Jingshan just now. If the other party insisted on checking his Long Feather Band, he could only take out the Reincarnation Spear to teach them a lesson and quickly leave this place.

If that was the case, his purpose of sneaking in would be lost. Fortunately, at the crucial moment, the Rulers left on their own.

“What exactly is that jade badge?”

Ou Yangming’s mind was stirred. After returning to his room, he disappeared and entered the poisonous pill’s world.

The badge still carried a hint of a law’s aura. It was probably from the white-robed young man from the group just now.

Among them, only one person was in the law boundary. The young man was probably a God-favored one from the Mystic Sky Sect. Ou Yangming kept the jade badge inside the poisonous pill’s world because he sensed the aura left behind by the other party.

“Lil’ Ming, what’s this?”

Lil’ Red was flying in the air. He did not know when he would be able to transform into a human form. He was still in his infancy. Even if he had become a Ruler, he would not be able to transform into a human form for a while.

The jade badge was placed on the grass, and everyone’s eyes were focused on it.
