Chapter 1287: Violet Herb

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Purple flames danced in the air.

The Earth’s Demolition Cauldron was burnt red. After a few days, a silver spear flew out of the cauldron.

Ou Yangming waved his hand, and the flames disappeared.

This spear was very similar to the Reincarnation Spear, both in weight and shape. It was just that it was a Middle Grade Acquired Taoist Tool, and it did not have the mysterious yellow Heaven-opening Qi.

In terms of quality, it was several grades lower than the Reincarnation Spear.

This was something that could not be helped.

A Middle Grade Taoist Tool was Ou Yangming’s limit in smithing. Even if he took out the best materials he had, he could only smith his weapon to this grade.

Ou Yangming nodded his head in satisfaction. Low Grade Taoist Tools were rare in the Great Wide World, not to mention a Middle Grade one. This new spear was not comparable to the Reincarnation Spear, but it would be enough for him at the moment. At the very least, it would be of great help in terms of combat power.

By the time Ou Yangming was done, more than half a month had passed in the outside world.

After thinking for a moment, he decided to leave the Enlightenment Pavilion.

The Enlightenment Pavilion was safe, but he could not stay here forever.

Now that the disaster was about to arrive, he had to find a way to break through to the third step. At the very least, he had to evolve his physical strength to the Devil God realm. Only then could he face Chi Ming, a super powerhouse who was a half step to the Heavenly Rank.

Ou Yangming had a premonition that Chi Ming would find him again.

Chi Ming’s goal was not simple. He would not give up.

The forest was still the same as before. This place was far away from the city, and it was exceptionally quiet.

In the forest, a girl wearing a long green dress was moving quickly through the forest.

She held a sickle in one hand and had an interspatial bag hung on her waist.

“Violet Herb, where are you?”

The girl was anxious. The Violet Herb she was talking about was a Grade 7 spiritual herb.

A Grade 7 spiritual herb was on par with the Dragon Fragrant Herb. It was nothing to a powerhouse of Ou Yangming’s level, but it was a rare treasure for others.

When the little girl heard that there was a Violet Herb here, she rushed over from the distant Heaven’s Wall City.

Nonetheless, after searching for a few days, she had encountered several dangers and seen quite a number of other spiritual herbs, but she had not seen the Violet Herb once.

The young girl’s strength was not weak as she was already a Ruler. She was only an ordinary Ruler but compared to people of her age, she could be described as a genius. If not for that, she would not have come all the way here.

She carefully shuttled through the forest, not daring to release her mental power. She could only use her eyes to search.

All of a sudden, she looked at a big tree in the distance and slowly walked over. Under the big tree, a grey rabbit lay on the ground, looking weak.

The rabbit was just an ordinary rabbit. It was not even a low-grade spirit beast. Since it was wild, it was different from the pets in the city.

“Did you crash into this big tree?” The girl’s eyes were bright.

The rabbit could not make a sound, let alone communicate. It opened its eyes with difficulty. Its black pupils were begging.

At this time, the grey rabbit was also very helpless. Half a month ago, something suddenly flew toward it. That thing was very terrifying and could have killed it. As such, it was anxious and hurriedly ran away. Who knew that it would bump into a big tree?

This bump was not soft. The rabbit fainted at that time. After half a month, it gradually woke up, but it was hungry and cold. Its body was so weak that it could not move.

“You’re hungry?” The girl understood what the rabbit meant.

She grabbed a handful of tender grass from afar and placed it by the rabbit’s mouth. After the rabbit finished eating the tender grass, she took out a jade bottle from her interspatial bag and poured out a pill from it.

An ordinary rabbit was nothing in the eyes of ordinary people. Some people would even pick it up and treat it as a delicious lunch.

Despite that, the young girl was different. She had a kind heart.

Moreover, the rabbit’s experience reminded her of her old father at home. The rabbit’s injuries could be treated, but not her father’s.

“I must find the Violet Herb!”

The girl stuffed the pill into the rabbit’s mouth and clenched her fists.

At the spur of the moment, the girl quickly raised her head and looked in a direction with vigilance.

2 cloaked middle-aged men walked out from behind the tree. They slowly walked out and clapped their hands as they walked. “Miss Xiao, you’re indeed kind. You actually spared no expense to save an ordinary rabbit.”

“It’s you…”

The young girl hurriedly stood up. With a flash of light in her hands, 2 short swords appeared.

Xiao Qingxuan recognized these 2 people. They were among the bandits who had killed their way into their house.

“Miss Xiao, you have a good memory. It’s us.”

The 2 men smiled. They were both holding blood-red longswords in their hands.

Xiao Qingxuan’s expression changed and she shouted, “You followed me?”

“We didn’t follow you, Miss Xiao. We’ve been waiting here for more than 10 days. It was you who delivered yourself to us.”

The 2 men gradually approached.

“What!”

Xiao Qingxuan was smart. How could she not understand what the other party meant?

Her eyes were filled with anger. “You lied to me! It was you who claimed that the Violet Herb is here and tricked me to come here from Heaven’s Wall City!”

“Hahaha.”

The cloaked man laughed loudly, “How could we lie to you, Miss Xiao? Someone once picked a Violet Herb here, but that wasn’t last year. It was 300 years ago. We only processed this news. We didn’t expect you to really come here, Miss Xiao.”

“You’re shameless!”

Xiao Qingxuan’s eyes were burning. No wonder she could not find any traces of the Violet Herb even after searching for so long. She had been deceived.

Her father was in imminent danger and desperately needed the Violet Herb to be saved. She gradually fell into despair. A long time had passed. Her father could only hold on for 1 or 2 months.

“There’s no shortage of deception in war. Your Xiao family is protected by the governor in Heaven’s Wall City, so we could only come up with this plan.”

“Who exactly are you people? Why do you want to go against the Xiao family?” Xiao Qingxuan’s eyes were bulging. The Xiao family’s calamity came out of nowhere. They were suddenly surrounded and killed, and it happened in the city. If it were not for the governor protecting their family, they would have long been reduced to ashes.

The 2 men laughed coldly. One of them said, “Miss Xiao, it’s better not to ask. We won’t tell you.”

“Second Brother, stop talking nonsense with her. Hurry up and take her head back. I heard that she’s a genius. It’s really a pity.”

“That’s true. Miss Xiao is the person that Master specifically wants to kill.”

“Woosh, woosh.”

Blade-lights whistled over!

Xiao Qingxuan threw the rabbit in her hand into the distance. She rose into the air and narrowly avoided the attack.

After one move, the men did not hesitate and continued to attack.

Saber Qis swept across the air and slashed toward the sky, showing no mercy at all.

Xiao Qingxuan’s body flashed through the air quickly. She was agile and had reached the thoroughly meticulous state. The 2 men could not touch her body even after a few moves.

Nevertheless, the situation did not develop in a good direction.

The men were ferocious Rulers who had killed countless people. Xiao Qingxuan could not compare to them in terms of battle experience and spiritual power.

The Xiao family’s cultivation technique was not very advanced either. It could not make up for the gap between them.

“Black Tiger Blade Attack!”

The 2 cloaked men were also a little impatient since they could not touch the girl even after a few moves. One of them shouted, and a bewitching red color suddenly appeared on the long blade in their hands.

“Clang! Clang!”

The blades were firmly locked onto Xiao Qingxuan, making it impossible for her to escape. She had no choice but to brace herself and resist.

Short swords were meant to be agile, and they were not on the same level as long sabers.

After this collision, Xiao Qingxuan’s body retreated in a sorry state. Her black hair fell, and there were traces of blood at the corner of her mouth.

‘Run!’

Knowing that she was no match, Xiao Qingxuan hurriedly escaped.

She was the only hope of the Xiao family. She could not die. If she died, everything would be over.

“Haha, do you think you can escape?” A cold shout came from behind.

Xiao Qingxuan suddenly had a bad premonition. In the sky, a huge golden net fell.

Her expression changed. She raised the short swords in her hand and slashed at the golden net.

Having said that, this move did not work.

She did not know what the golden silk net was made of, but her Good Grade magic weapons could not break it.

The golden silk net fell with a powerful pressure.

Xiao Qingxuan was forcefully pushed back.

“Miss Xiao, why aren’t you running?”

One of the cloaked men clapped his hands and looked at Xiao Qingxuan’s graceful figure with a hint of a smile in his eyes.

“B*stard, you’ll suffer retribution!”

Xiao Qingxuan cursed loudly. She did not know what the golden silk net was made of. Now that she was trapped inside, she could not use any of her strength. It was as if she was sealed. Under such circumstances, she had almost no hope of escaping.

Thinking of her father in Heaven’s Wall City, she could not help but feel sorrowful. Her eyes were filled with despair.

“Retribution?”

The cloaked man laughed. “Perhaps there’ll be retribution, but you and your father won’t be able to see it.”

With a shake of their long sabers, the 2 men slowly walked toward Xiao Qingxuan.

Just as they were about to kill Xiao Qingxuan, a voice suddenly sounded not far away. “Say, how can the two of you bully a weak lady?”

“Who’s that?”

Upon hearing that, the men trembled, and they became alert. They glanced over and saw a young fellow appear next to the grey rabbit.

The young fellow stood there with his hands behind his back, looking very confident. He looked at the men with a faint smile.

“When did you come?”

The big men were shocked. ‘When did this guy come here? Why didn’t we notice anything?’

“I’ve always been here, but you didn’t notice me.”

Ou Yangming smiled. Before coming out of the Enlightenment Pavilion, he carefully observed his surroundings. He did not notice Chi Ming, but he did notice a little girl.

Afraid of scaring the other party, Ou Yangming did not leave right away. He planned to leave the Enlightenment Pavilion quietly after Xiao Qingxuan left.

Then, Ou Yangming saw the next scene.
