Chapter 42 You villain, you dare touch us sisters?
"Senior sister, where are we going?"
Without hesitation, Yuan Yao swallowed a pill that she usually couldn't bear to take to restore her magical power, and then asked.
"I don't know, but we absolutely cannot go back to Golden Ring Island! That's where these evil cultivators truly want to plunder!"
Yanli became serious and clear-headed, and from the strange changes just now, she saw through Luo Qing and the others' true scheme.
"Oh no, junior sister, someone's catching up with us!"
Before Yanli could think of where to escape to, her pursuers had already appeared.
Yuan Yao's divine sense was slightly weak, so she couldn't detect it at the moment. Upon hearing this, she turned her head and looked back, only to see that there were four evil cultivators, each riding their own weapons, chasing after her!
Yuan Yao immediately recognized Luo Qing, who was riding a flying sword made of white bones, among the four. Because of her previous spiritual sense, she was already both afraid and apprehensive of him, and she couldn't help but secretly groan:
Why did you have to chase after me of all people?!
"Senior sister, there are four pursuers, all of them in the Qi Refining stage!"
"They're after those two storage bags! Junior sister, quickly release the Silver Feathered Serpent and let it swallow your storage bag, then escape as fast as you can!"
Yanli immediately came up with a solution.
"good!"
Yuan Yao agreed and summoned a spirit snake with white feathers growing from the back of its head from the spirit beast pouch at her waist.
Before it could show its usual affection, Yuan Yao ordered it to swallow the golden storage bag and then tossed it into the sea below.
"go!"
Upon receiving Yuan Yao's order, the Silver Feathered Serpent swam swiftly in another direction after entering the sea, its speed comparable to that of a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator using their full power to fly.
After doing all this, Yuan Yao looked back again and saw that the pursuers had split into two groups. One group continued to chase them, while the other group chased after the silver-feathered snake.
"Senior sister, it worked! Quickly throw away your storage bag too!"
With half of the pursuers gone, Yuan Yao was overjoyed and immediately ordered Yan Li to get rid of the other source of trouble.
"Does Junior Sister have another Silver Feathered Serpent?"
Yanli urged the spirit boat forward with all her might, and asked without turning her head.
"No, that's all. Doesn't Senior Sister know best?"
Yuan Yao and Yan Li are like sisters, and they have no secrets from each other.
"Then we can't throw it away!"
Yanli changed her hand seals, which increased Liu Yezhou's speed even more.
"Why is that? Dong Zhou tampered with the talisman, so this storage bag is most likely fake too!"
Yuan Yao asked urgently, as the pursuers were getting closer and closer.
"I know, but that's precisely why we can't just throw this storage bag away."
Otherwise, the pursuers would seize it immediately, and we would realize that after chasing for so long and abandoning the merchant ship's goods, we had come up with nothing. We would certainly become the targets of their wrath!
Yanli quickly explained.
"But senior sister, they're getting closer and closer!"
Yuan Yao understood the reasoning, but it couldn't save their lives.
"I've got it! Junior sister, do you remember Flower Stone Reef? That's where we can survive!"
Suddenly, Yanli had an idea. With a thought, the willow leaf boat began to turn.
......
On the other side, Luo Qing glanced at the rapidly moving spiritual energy fluctuations heading east, but didn't even blink, continuing to steadily urge the white bone sword beneath her feet.
This sword is not the one that every formal disciple of Jiyin Island possesses; rather, it is one of the two top-tier magical artifacts that Luo Qing prepared for this trip off the island.
Although it is still called "White Bone Sword", it cost Luo Qing a full 300 spirit stones and is a magic weapon dedicated to flight.
Therefore, he was not having much trouble chasing after them.
His fellow disciple beside him, however, was at the eleventh level of Qi Refining and was riding a fire wheel, moving at a similarly fast pace.
The two flew away side by side, without uttering a single word.
Upon seeing the two female cultivators suddenly turn around, Luo Qing and he did not hesitate and immediately gave chase.
About an incense stick later, Luo Qing and his fellow disciples from Huo Lun had caught up to within forty feet, but Yan Li seemed unwilling to escape any longer and headed straight for a small island reef below.
"Could it be that a formation was set up in advance?"
Luo Qing's heart skipped a beat, and she became somewhat wary, but she quickly shook her head inwardly.
These two female cultivators looked young and inexperienced; they certainly didn't have the same backup plans as Old Demon Han.
A moment later, Luo Qing and the other person stood on the rough, damp ground of the reef, surrounded by the smell of the sea.
To their surprise, the two female cultivators who had been on the run were now sitting cross-legged on the ground in front of their pursuers, circulating their energy to recover.
"What a charade! This place is just inhabited by a few mid-level demonic beasts; I can wipe them all out by myself!"
The Fire Wheel Sect members appeared extremely irritable and easily angered, yet they showed no intention of making a move.
Clearly, this guy is also a man of inner talent.
"Fellow Daoists, there is no need to worry. There are no ambushes here."
We are just two women with nothing of value, and we have no enmity with you two. All you want is the storage bag that the Six-Linked Palace gave us.
If we are willing to hand it over, could you spare our lives?
Yanli unexpectedly revealed her hand and asked in an extremely humble manner.
"Hehe, why go through all that trouble? Wouldn't it be easier for me to just take it directly from your corpses?"
Perhaps, this... Junior Brother Luo the Eighteenth, and I can provide you with some amusement before you die.
Huo Lun, who was not a fellow Qi Refining disciple on the same boat as Luo Qing, had already made his intention to monopolize the golden storage bag clear in just a few words.
"Hmph! That's not necessarily true. The mid-level demonic beast on this island is called the Earth-Walking Flower."
Although this demon doesn't possess any particularly powerful talents or supernatural abilities, it does have a large amount of acidic fluid stored in its abdomen.
We just put the storage bag into the mouth of one of the Earth Flower creatures and placed an ice seal on it.
"If you don't release us, once the restriction is lifted, the storage bag will fall into the monster's acidic water, and you'll get nothing!"
Yuan Yao snorted coldly, flipped her jade hand, took out an ice crystal bead, and made a gesture as if she wanted to crush it.
Upon hearing this, Huo Lun frowned immediately, not expecting that the two women would think of using the demonic flowers in this place as an ally.
"What do you want?"
He asked in a deep voice.
Yanli pulled Yuanyao to her feet, her round, adorable face filled with determination:
"Let us leave for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, then you can exorcise the demon and retrieve the treasure. But if the ice seal has been breached, then we sisters will make sure you two fellow cultivators suffer nothing!"
"What does my junior brother think?"
The Fire Wheel Sect members were already prepared to compromise; otherwise, they wouldn't have bothered to ask Luo Qing at all. After all, the orders given by those Foundation Establishment cultivators earlier were that the items should be retrieved and the people killed without exception!
"You may take the treasure and leave, but both women are mine!"
Luo Qing, however, did not speak in a tone of discussion at all, and directly made the allocation.
"You villain, you dare to touch us sisters!"
Believe it or not, I'll crush this bead right now!
Yuan Yao looked furious, as if she was about to fight Luo Qing to the death at any moment.
"Suit yourself. I didn't come here for that storage bag in the first place."
Luo Qing, however, didn't care at all.
"Junior Brother Luo, even if you're lustful, you should know when to stop. Don't make things difficult for me!"
The tone of the Fire Wheel Sect members immediately turned unfriendly.
"That's right, I was the one who was procrastinating."
Having said that, Luo Qing's right arm flashed with golden light and slashed across the man's neck.
As a pillar of blood shot into the sky, only Luo Qing and his two companions remained on this island reef.
