One day later, Xiao Lingyu, who was running at full speed, arrived at the entrance of the valley where the herb garden was located.
As soon as he landed, he saw a middle-aged cultivator in blue robes pacing back and forth at the entrance of the valley. Judging from his expression, he seemed to be in a hurry.
Moreover, that cultivator would send a ray of spiritual light into the restriction formation at the entrance of the valley from time to time, as if he was deliberately alerting the people inside. After Xiao Lingyu left, there were no living people in the valley at all. Thus, no one came out to greet that cultivator.
When Xiao Lingyu landed, that cultivator came forward to greet him.
"Are you the disciple on duty in this herb garden?" That cultivator narrowed his eyes and asked in a slightly angry tone.
"Er, you can say so." Xiao Lingyu paused for a while and answered.
"Since you are the disciple on duty, how can you leave the herb garden as you please? I remember that there are three outer sect disciples on duty in this herb garden. Where are the other two? "After that cultivator got the answer, he became even more furious. He was just short of pointing his finger at Xiao Lingyu's nose and scolding him.
Xiao Lingyu was indeed unable to react to such a fierce attack. He was at a loss of what to do.
"The most hateful thing is that it's fine if you sneak out, but you actually sneak out when it's time to hand in the mature medicinal herbs. If this matter is known by the Discipline Hall, you can just wait to pack up and get lost." That cultivator should have waited for too long as he was a little angry. "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and bring me in! You guys want to enter the inner sect of my Void Inquiry Immortal Sect to cultivate with such an attitude? You guys are really delusional. "
Xiao Lingyu more or less understood that he was arranged to stay here by Ge Yunfei. This cultivator in front of him certainly did not know about it. However, he did not expect that instead of Ge Yunfei, such a person would come.
Xiao Lingyu also did not want to cause trouble, especially not for Ge Yunfei. Thus, he took out the token cooperatively and entered the formation and restriction formation.
That cultivator followed him and asked curiously. "Is this Martial Uncle Ge's token?"
Xiao Lingyu nodded and answered. "He left it for me before he left."
"It seems like Martial Uncle Ge took good care of you. No wonder. You have already reached the Gold Core Realm. It's just a matter of time before you enter the inner sect. However, even if Martial Uncle Ge took care of you, you still can't leave the herb garden as you please … "
That cultivator followed Xiao Lingyu in the formation, like a senior expert, was lecturing Xiao Lingyu.
Xiao Lingyu pretended that he didn't hear anything. From time to time, he would reply with a perfunctory "Mm".
"Are you listening to me or not?!?" Xiao Lingyu's reaction. Xiao Lingyu's s s to the garden was to say, Xiao, to Xiao Lingyu and Xiao Lingyu, Xiao Lingyu, and Xiao Lingyu......
.......... to Xiao and and To To Xiao Lingyu and and was and Xiao Li and....... to be to Qi...
"You don't know? ... be, Xiao Ing to it.. . to Xiao Lingon to to Xiao to to the to the to to S...... And Xiao.......
..... "" I don't know. Aren't you here to collect the mature herbs? There are some in the storehouse and some in the garden. Go collect them, "Xiao Lingyu replied coldly. He hated people who thought too highly of themselves.
After he finished speaking, Xiao Lingyu flung his sleeves and prepared to leave.
I won't even give a damn about you!
"Wait!"
That person shouted. Then, he released the aura of an expert, which immediately shrouded Xiao Lingyu.
"Don't think that just because Martial Uncle Ge likes you, you can intimidate others. There are some things that I shouldn't tell an outer sect disciple like you. However, seeing how fearless you are, I'll tell you. Martial Uncle Ge hasn't been here for a while, right? "
When Xiao Lingyu heard this, he immediately stopped and turned around to ask, "What else?"
That person continued, "Martial Uncle Ge violated the Immortal Sect's rules two years ago and was locked up by the Sect Master. He said that he can't come out until he reaches the Body Integration Stage or a thousand years. Do you still expect him to support you?"
Xiao Lingyu felt relieved. He thought that something big had happened to Ge Yunfei, but it turned out that he was just locked up. For a Severed Soul Stage expert like Ge Yunfei, being locked up for a thousand years might be an opportunity for him to calm down and work hard. Xiao Lingyu didn't have anything to worry about.
Xiao Lingyu had never thought of asking Ge Yunfei to support him. After all, Ge Yunfei could support him for a while but he couldn't support him for a lifetime. If there were no accidents, he still had a long way to go after cultivating the Nine Revolution Chaos Formula. It was unreliable to rely on others. He had to rely on himself for everything.
Looking at Xiao Lingyu walking away once again, that person seemed a little flustered and exasperated. However, he didn't do anything excessive. In any case, Xiao Lingyu was a Void Inquiry Stage disciple who was about to enter the inner sect. Moreover, he seemed to have a good relationship with Ge Yunfei. Thus, he didn't dare to offend him easily.
Xiao Lingyu's indifferent attitude also made that person feel that he must have something he could rely on.
Sometimes, when you show off your strength, it could indeed make people who wanted to bully you shrink back.
That person first went to the storehouse to keep the medicinal herbs that he had collected and preserved. After that, he went to the medicinal garden.
He was a member of the storehouse department of the Void Inquiry Stage. Theoretically speaking, the medicinal gardens of the Void Inquiry Stage were supervised by the storehouse department. After that, they would be assigned to some elite disciples to manage. The storehouse would hope that the harvest of each medicinal garden would be very good. Of course, as a disciple of the Void Inquiry Stage, everyone would want their harvest to be better.
Therefore, that person naturally wouldn't let go of the matured medicinal herbs in the medicinal garden. Originally, this task should be done by the three outer sect disciples who were on duty. He only needed to find a place to drink some tea and wait. However, the situation in this medicinal garden was a little troublesome. Unfortunately, he didn't have much time to wait here. Thus, he could only do it himself.
"When I return, I will definitely go to the Discipline Hall and report you all for neglecting your duties. So what if you are at the Gold Core Realm? So what if you have Martial Uncle Ge's support? When the time comes, you will still have to get lost from this grandpa's sight! "
That person cursed in his heart as he began to get busy in the medicinal garden.
After working for less than the time it takes to finish a cup of tea, that person suddenly noticed something unusual. Then, he took out his spiritual herb shovel and began to dig in the medicinal garden.
Not long after, that person actually dug out a big hole in the medicinal garden. In the big hole, he found three corpses.
Among the three corpses, one of them was severed into a few pieces. Another one was decapitated. Only one of the corpses looked normal. As for these three corpses, they were buried in a place with abundant spiritual qi. They didn't rot and one could still vaguely see their faces.
"Ah! It's actually these three people! "
That person used to come to the medicinal garden once every two to three years. Naturally, he recognized Wang Zhicheng and the other two. When he saw Xiao Lingyu just now, he thought that one of the three had been replaced. Or perhaps, all three of them had been replaced. Never would he have thought that all three of them were already dead and their corpses were buried here.
"What is going on?" That person was extremely confused after being shocked.
After thinking quickly, he immediately went to call Xiao Lingyu over.
Since there was someone here, Xiao Lingyu naturally wouldn't run off to cultivate. Instead, he waited in a thatched cottage. When that person called him, his expression was still very calm. However, when he walked to the big hole and glanced into the big hole, he was suddenly shocked. He secretly thought that he was too careless.
Originally, he thought that he had buried them deep enough and wouldn't be discovered. However, he underestimated the spiritual perception of cultivators. If he had known that he would be discovered, he would definitely have burned all three corpses with fire.
However, paper couldn't wrap fire. Even if he destroyed the corpses and destroyed the evidence, in the future, people would discover that Wang Zhicheng and the other two were dead. At that time, he would still be suspected.
"You killed the three of them, right?" that person asked.
"That's right!"
Xiao Lingyu directly admitted it first, then explained the situation at that time.
"You said that they wanted to take your life, but you resisted and killed them. However, do you have any evidence to prove it?" that person began to interrogate him. Moreover, he had already released his aura and sealed off the surroundings.
From the other person's aura, Xiao Lingyu could determine that the other person was a Nascent Soul cultivator. His strength was definitely not inferior to his own. However, he couldn't produce any evidence at all. This was because a few years had already passed, and there were no witnesses at that time.
"You said that they coveted your spirit stones. If you can produce some spirit stones, I won't directly kill you. Instead, I'll hand you over to the Discipline Hall to investigate this matter. After all, even if you're an outer sect disciple, the immortal sect won't ignore your life and death," that person said in a seemingly impartial manner.
Xiao Lingyu was in a difficult situation again. Previously, he did have a lot of spirit stones that Ge Yunfei gave him in his storage pouch. However, he had already spent all of them in Tai Yang City. Moreover, his spiritual liquid was something that couldn't be exposed to the public. Thus, it couldn't be used as evidence.
That person frowned. The corner of his mouth also contained a cold smile. Originally, he wanted to make Xiao Lingyu hand over the spirit stones and then take him away by saying that they were evidence. However, it seemed like his plan was not going to work out.
"You're not a disciple of our Void Inquiry Stage. However, you killed our disciples in our territory. Humph. As a member of the Void Inquiry Stage, I have the right and the obligation …"
"Why? Do you want to kill me?" Xiao Lingyu asked straightforwardly.
"Your crime is unforgivable!"
That person had been tolerating Xiao Lingyu for a long time. Regardless of whether it was Xiao Lingyu who did not like him in the past or the fact that Xiao Lingyu killed his fellow disciples, he had every reason to attack Xiao Lingyu who was not a member of the Void Inquiry Stage.
After saying that, that person's aura force surged again. Waves of aura force wrapped tightly around Xiao Lingyu like a gust of wind. Then, that person pounced towards Xiao Lingyu with a hideous smile on his face. His palm was aimed at Xiao Lingyu's head.
From his point of view, Xiao Lingyu was just a Gold Core Realm cultivator. Even though he could not see through Xiao Lingyu's cultivation base, he could confirm this point based on the fluctuation of Xiao Lingyu's qi.
Xiao Lingyu let out a soft cry. The Primal Chaos Golden Core in his dantian immediately shone brightly. A wave of greyish primal chaos energy suddenly enveloped his entire body, forming a circle of primal chaos defensive barrier.
With a loud bang, the primal chaos defensive barrier shook violently and exploded. Xiao Lingyu's body was sent flying far away.
