Chapter 483 Junior Sister Ran Away Again, Not Including Us in the Game
Three days later, at the headquarters of Wanbaoge.
After the Grand Master Lingxiao finished reading the jade slip from the Western Regions, the temperature in the entire hall dropped by ten degrees.
The old man, who was in the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, slowly rose up, and the robe he wore, embroidered with the sun, moon, and stars, moved without wind.
"good very good."
The voice was very soft, but it made everyone in the hall jump and lower their heads in unison.
"Five cities in the Western Regions were looted, and after a month of investigation, only one clue was found."
Lingxiao Patriarch slammed the jade slip onto the table.
A white-haired elder stepped forward with a forced smile: "President, please calm down. That thief specifically targets remote cities and acts cautiously. We..."
"I don't want to hear excuses."
Lingxiao Patriarch interrupted him, "Let Chiyan and Qingmu stay in the Western Regions and lay a trap. That thief will reappear sooner or later."
Even if you're just waiting for a rabbit to run into a tree stump, you must hold onto it for me!
He paused, then asked, "How's the investigation going with the Star Pavilion Merchant Guild in the Northwest Region?"
Another elder reported: "President, the Star Pavilion Chamber of Commerce has risen too quickly. In less than half a year, it has almost monopolized all markets and transactions in the Northwest Region."
Its backend cannot be found at the moment, but it can be confirmed that it is related to a certain sect in the Northwest Region.
They operate in secrecy, with all transactions conducted through agents; the true controller never reveals themselves.
A murderous glint flashed in the eyes of the Lingxiao Ancestor: "If you can't find out, force them out."
His gaze swept over the crowd and landed on an old man in black robes on his left: "Protector Xuanming."
The old man in black robes slowly raised his head.
It was a face like withered tree bark, with deep-set eyes and an aura as cold as the ice of the Netherworld. It was Xuanming, one of the five guardians of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion, who was at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
"Take the Nine Netherworld Locking God Array Plate to the Northwest Region."
Lingxiao Ancestor said slowly and deliberately, "This formation can kill late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators. With it, you can handle any unforeseen event."
The Xuanming Protector's voice was hoarse: "Yes, sir."
"He took three Nascent Soul Peak Elders and secretly ordered someone to provoke the Star Pavilion Merchant Guild."
Lingxiao Ancestor's eyes flashed with a cold light, "Create conflict, start a fight, and force out their backers. If a Nascent Soul cultivator really appears, use an array to suppress and kill them!"
"What if the other party has a powerful sect as their backer?"
Xuanming hesitated before asking.
Ancestor Lingxiao sneered: "There are no super sects in the Northwest Region. As long as it's not one of the top ten sects in the Central Region, killing them is fine. Remember, do it cleanly and leave no evidence."
"Yes."
"Furthermore," Elder Lingxiao added, "the investigation into the bandits of the Western Regions must continue. I want to see who dares to provoke me!"
The people inside the hall responded in unison, their killing intent palpable.
Star Palace, Jade Maiden Peak.
Shen Rugo sat cross-legged in the cave, her body surging with spiritual energy.
A month ago, after breaking through to the Golden Core stage, her realm had stabilized, and the spiritual power within her body was more than ten times stronger than when she was at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage.
"It's all used up again."
She opened her eyes and sighed softly.
During this month, aside from the resources she used to break through to the Golden Core stage, she distributed the supplies she had seized from the Western Regions to her five senior brothers and more than eighty Golden Core demonic beasts in the valley, keeping only one-third for herself.
She thought it would last for several months, but little did she know that she had eighteen special golden cores, and her demand for spiritual energy was like eighteen bottomless pits, and her resources were exhausted once again.
"Great, it's all used up!"
Zhao Cai suddenly poked his bald head out: "Your Highness, let's go out and get some more! Aren't there still more than eighty major cities in the Western Regions that we haven't visited yet?"
Shen Rugo rolled her eyes at it: "We can't go to the Western Regions, Wanbaoge must have set a trap. However, we can try going to the Northern Regions."
With a year to go before the sect competition, she didn't want a direct confrontation with Wanbaoge and only wanted to improve her strength as quickly as possible.
However, if resources are insufficient, the cultivation speed will slow down, so the only option now is to continue plundering from the Myriad Treasures Pavilion.
"The Northern Region is fine too! Maybe the Wanbao Pavilion there has an even deeper fortune!"
Zhao Cai shouted immediately.
This past month has been incredibly difficult for it. The fire-attribute treasures it had previously devoured have long been completely digested. To continue improving its cultivation level, it must go out and find food again.
What's more, robbing the treasure vault of Wanbaoge is too exciting, it loves it.
"Alright, let's go to the Northern Region and finish this quickly."
Shen Rugo made a decision: "Take a few cities and leave; I will not linger in battle."
Zhao Cai immediately flapped its wings excitedly, even though it didn't have many feathers yet: "Your Highness is wise! The Northern Region is rich in fire-attribute minerals, and there must be plenty in the Wanbao Pavilion's warehouse. I'm going to make a fortune this time!"
Just leave.
Shen Rugo quickly tidied up and then reforged the flying magic weapon, the Flowing Light Shuttle.
After breaking through to the Golden Core stage, her understanding of formations deepened. She inscribed three acceleration formations on the Flowing Light Shuttle, making it twice as fast as before. With the addition of the Flying Talisman, traveling 30,000 miles a day was no problem.
On the third day, before dawn, Shen Rugo quietly left Jade Maiden Peak with Zhaocai.
What she didn't know was that no sooner had she left than someone came knocking on her door.
"Junior Sister! Look what good things I brought you!"
Xiao Qiushui excitedly descended Jade Maiden Peak, holding a jade box in his hand. This was a Seven Star Spirit Herb that he had painstakingly obtained, which was said to be very beneficial for stabilizing one's cultivation level.
The cave was empty. Xiao Qiushui was stunned for a moment, then realized: "Junior Sister ran away again?"
He stood there blankly for a moment, then suddenly looked up and shouted, "Junior Sister, you ran away again! Aren't you going to play with me?"
The scream was so heartbreaking, it carried far and wide.
In a short while, four figures rushed over.
The eldest disciple, Xiao Changkong, dressed in white, asked in a deep voice, "Fifth junior brother, what did you just say?"
Second Senior Brother Ye Xinghe frowned: "Junior Sister ran away again? Or did she sneak away?"
Lu Haoran's usually calm expression wavered: "Junior Sister is really not in the cave?"
Chen Tianba was the most impatient. He grabbed Xiao Qiushui by the collar and said, "Fifth Brother, explain yourself! Did Junior Sister go out to make money by herself again?!"
Xiao Qiushui said with a mournful face, "How should I know! I came to deliver spirit herbs to my junior sister, but she just disappeared!"
He must have sneaked out again—oh, no, I mean, gone out for training!
Why didn't you take me with you?!
Chen Tianba roared, "She took you out last time, now it's my turn!"
Xiao Qiushui was also furious: "I was just lucky last time! She didn't tell me this time either!"
"It must be because you didn't perform well last time. Junior Sister disliked you, and we were all dragged down with her!"
"You're talking nonsense! Last time in the Burial Immortal Valley Secret Realm, I didn't hold my junior sister back at all, and I even helped her fight that demoness Wu Xuemei!"
"Stop trying to glorify yourself! Why didn't she take you with her this time?"
"Nonsense, how would I know!"
The two argued heatedly, their faces flushed, and it looked like they were about to come to blows. Xiao Changkong shouted sternly, "Enough! What's all the arguing about! The most important thing right now is to find Junior Sister!"
Ye Xinghe said calmly, "Find her? If Junior Sister wants to hide from us, do you think we can find her?"
Lu Haoran scratched his head: "How about we ask Master?"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a figure descended from the sky—it was Daoist Xingchen, who was also filled with anxiety: "Where's Ruge? Has Ruge gone out again?!"
Xiao Qiushui immediately shouted, "Master! Junior Sister has run away again! Did you know all along?!"
Daoist Xingchen roared in fury: "What do I know! I'm hoping she'll take me out to make a fortune!"
Everyone: "..."
