"This time, I'll really use the treasure to exchange for what you got," Nangong Jing said.
Chu Li frowned. "Goodbye!"
He turned and left as soon as he finished speaking, his body like a wisp of smoke.
"Do you really think you can escape?!" Nangong Jing carried Jin Shirong and followed him like a gust of wind. As he chased after him, she said, "If you don't hand it over, you won't be able to escape even if you run to the Heavenly Demon Realm, the Boundless Surpassing State, or even the Endless Sea!"
Chu Li said, "Is the Heaven Shaking Pavilion so overbearing?"
"The Heaven Shaking Pavilion is responsible for the people of the world. Such an important item cannot fall into the hands of someone with bad intentions," Nangong Jing said. "It's our fault if we can't take it back!"
Chu Li laughed. "You call yourselves the masters of the world. What a joke!"
"We can peek into the secrets of the heavens, so of course we have to be responsible for the people of the world!" Nangong Jing scoffed. "Do you really want to be so stubborn and kill yourself?"
Chu Li said, "Whatever I get, no matter how ordinary it is, belongs to me. Of course, I won't just give it to you. Not everyone can be robbed by you!"
"Do you know the consequences of going against the Heaven Shaking Pavilion?" Nangong Jing's Light-body Technique was excellent, so he followed him closely.
Chu Li's Omniscient Mirror could see that he had used another treasure. His Light-body Technique and the treasure allowed him to follow him, but this was his limit. He could not go any faster.
Chu Li scoffed. "So what if I'm right?"
Then, he sped up and activated the Sacrificial Divine Power. His speed increased by a few times, and he disappeared in the blink of an eye.
As long as he got rid of Nangong Jing, he could use Void Diversion and leave instantly. It would be impossible to catch up.
"Bang!" An explosion came from the sky.
Then, Chu Li's hair stood on end. He suddenly turned and dodged to the side.
Not far away from him, an invisible force spread out, but it was impossible to see anything strange.
Chu Li avoided this invisible force like a snake or scorpion, so he sped up again and ran to the side.
However, this formless energy was even faster than him. He was still unable to completely avoid it and was struck by the aftershocks.
"Bang!" It was as if he had been hit in the back by a heavy hammer. He looked up and spat out a mouthful of blood. Then, he fell limply to the ground, unable to move.
In his mind, the little critter that had already fallen asleep lazily suddenly opened its eyes. It opened its mouth abruptly and inhaled. Immediately, the power that had yet to disperse in the surroundings gushed into his body unceasingly, and drilled into his mind.
The listless little critter's spirit was roused. However, after the energy drilled into its body, it absorbed it in one gulp. After that, it returned to its lazy appearance. It lay down and closed its eyes to sleep again.
Chu Li breathed a sigh of relief but pretended to be powerless as he watched Nangong Jing approach.
Nangong Jing snorted. "Now you know how powerful I am, right?"
A figure appeared in the void on the other side. It was an old man with white eyebrows and beard. He shook his head and said, "Little Jing, do you really need me to deal with such a brat?"
"Grand-uncle," Nan Gong Jing said. "This is Chu Li. He's not a nobody."
"I've been in seclusion for a few years, but I've never heard of him." The old man shook his head and said, "But no matter how powerful he is, after taking this Tiger Soul Pill, even if he doesn't die, he will still lose a layer of skin. I'm leaving first!"
"Grand-uncle, thank you!" Nan Gong Jing said. "This time, I don't want to hand over the item that I want to seize to the sect. I want to keep it for myself, so I can only disturb you, Grand-uncle."
"What kind of treasure is it?" The old man's spirit was lifted.
If a treasure was handed over to the Heaven Shaking Pavilion, the Heaven Shaking Pavilion would give a reward of a higher level than the treasure. Therefore, the treasures that the Heaven Shaking Pavilion's disciples obtained would usually be handed over to the sect and exchanged for a treasure that they fancied.
However, the treasure that Nan Gong Jing wanted him to keep was definitely not ordinary.
"It's most likely an inheritance," Nan Gong Jing said. "The Flying Star Sect's inheritance."
"If we can obtain the Flying Star Sect's inheritance, it's indeed a treasure. We can't give it to the Heaven Shaking Pavilion." The old man quickly nodded and said, "If our Nan Gong Family obtains this, there's a great chance that we can rise again!"
Nan Gong Jing nodded slowly. "That's why we must obtain this treasure at all costs!"
Chu Li lay on the ground and listened to Nan Gong Jing's words. He directly read the old man's thoughts from his mind.
The Nan Gong Family that Nan Gong Jing came from used to be prosperous. Although they did not become a sect, they had suppressed the surrounding sects to the point that they could not lift their heads. However, as the later generations became mediocre, the Nan Gong Family gradually became ordinary. Now, they were only a wealthy family. This made them extremely dissatisfied and they all wanted to restore the glory of their ancestors.
As Nan Gong Jing spoke, he approached Chu Li and placed the limp Jin Shirong next to him. Nan Gong Jing shook his head and sighed. "Chu Li, why did you have to do this? If you had handed it over earlier, you wouldn't have ended up like this!"
Chu Li stared at him with difficulty. "What do you want?"
Nan Gong Jing looked at him with pity. "You've guessed correctly. I kill people and take their treasures. That's all. There's nothing new about it."
Chu Li said, "The Heaven Shaking Pavilion's disciples are really extraordinary!"
"We can't deal with Taihao Peak, but do you think we can't deal with you?" Nan Gong Jing scoffed.
As he spoke, he unsheathed his sword and stabbed it at Chu Li's chest.
"Ding …" Chu Li bent his finger and flicked it. The Snap of Thunder caused Nan Gong Jing to freeze. Before the protective qi barrier could take effect, Nan Gong Jing was hit by Chu Li's palm and all the acupuncture points on his body were sealed.
"Stop!" The old man realized that something was wrong. He shouted and rushed over.
Chu Li grabbed Nan Gong Jing and Jin Shirong and disappeared.
"Ah —" The old man roared in anger but he could only watch helplessly as Chu Li disappeared.
Normally, he would be able to sense Nan Gong Jing. However, Nan Gong Jing's aura was concealed by the Earth Demonic Stone as Chu Li was carrying him. The old man could not sense him. He could only panic but he could not do anything.
Chu Li dragged Nan Gong Jing and Jin Shirong to the peak of a mountain.
He knew that time was precious. Since he had killed two of his disciples, the Heaven Shaking Pavilion would soon sense it and send people over. He needed to stay close to them and use the Earth Demonic Stone to suppress their auras.
He quickly took out their belongings. Chu Li smiled when he saw a few jade pendants and a few bottles of Spirit Medicine.
The jade pendants they were holding were not ordinary jade pendants. They were not even ordinary treasures. None of them were weak and these Spirit Medicine were not ordinary Spirit Medicine either. He had gained a lot this time.
Usually, the Heaven Shaking Pavilion was the one who robbed others. This time, Chu Li robbed the Heaven Shaking Pavilion. It was really satisfying. He had completely offended them. They could forget about turning hostility into friendship. If there was a chance to teach them a lesson, he would not let it go.
With a slight shake, the two of them woke up.
Jin Shirong's eyes widened while Nan Gong Jing stared at him with a gloomy face.
Chu Li smiled at Nan Gong Jing. "Thank you for giving me this treasure!"
"Chu Li, you should know the consequences of offending the Heaven Shaking Pavilion!" Nan Gong Jing said in a low voice.
Chu Li nodded. "I'll definitely die, right? Then I'll go crazy before I die. Tell me, what treasure is this? … What about this? … There's also this? "
Chu Li pointed at the neatly arranged jade pendants on the ground. There were six of them in total. Some were big and some were small. The big ones were the size of a palm while the small ones were only the size of a fingernail. Some were dull and lusterless while others had a warm glow.
