Chapter 26: Retreat

Poor Zhou Wenqiang only had the cultivation level of the first layer of the Qi Refinement Stage, and was not much stronger than a Mortal; he simply could not beat the Cultivators who went up on the stage.

Other Cultivators also went up onto the stage one after another, treating Nie Xiao and Zhou Wenqiang to a sound beating with their big feet.

The two of them could only hug their heads helplessly on the high platform, silently enduring the violent storm from everyone.

When the situation stabilized, the people off the stage shouted like a roaring tsunami:

"Refund the Spirit Stones, refund the Spirit Stones, refund the Spirit Stones."

Nie Xiao and Zhou Wenqiang also realized that the situation was ominous; if this continued, they might end up being beaten to death here.

They scrambled away in a panic.

Sect Master Song Zhi looked at the two of them with a gloomy expression: "You two useless things."

Until now, Nie Xiao still did not know why his brain had suddenly short-circuited, causing him to blurt out all the truth.

Thinking that he had fainted from hunger, he cautiously said: "Sect Master, it might be because I did not eat breakfast. I should be fine after eating something."

Sect Master Song Zhi gave him a murderous look, then thought better of it; after all, Nie Xiao was an old subordinate who had followed him for a long time, so he did not kill him. Instead, he cursed angrily: "Get lost."

Arriving at the Chuanxiao Sect spirit dining hall, Nie Xiao let out a long breath. His mother had told him before that after getting injured, eating something good would make it better.

However, because of him alone, he had caused such a huge disaster for the Sect.

The spirit dining hall Disciple did not give him a single pleasant look, dropping a bowl of plain white rice in front of Nie Xiao and saying impatiently: "Stuff your face."

The more Nie Xiao thought about it, the angrier he became. As an Immortal Master of the Sect, he had recruited so many Disciples for the Sect; even if he lacked credit, he had worked hard.

This time it was just a small mistake, yet even a Disciple of the spirit dining hall looked down on him.

Every time, the spirit chicken leg in his meal was deducted.

Feeling like the sky was falling, he grabbed the neck of the Disciple and cursed angrily: "Where is my chicken leg! Why did you deduct my chicken leg!"

As a Disciple of the spirit dining hall, his meals were naturally not bad on weekdays. The opponent grew up tall and sturdy, with a big belly.

How could he pamper Nie Xiao? With a backhand, he slapped Nie Xiao hard across the face, causing stars to dance before the eyes of Nie Xiao as he collapsed to the ground.

The spirit dining hall Disciple said unceremoniously: "Bah, do you still think you are an Immortal Master? Having caused such a huge disaster, can the Chuanxiao Sect still keep you?"

Nie Xiao felt that his sky had completely collapsed, lying on the ground and weeping helplessly. What did he do wrong! He just wanted to eat a chicken leg!

Not long after Lin Mo and his party escaped from the Chuanxiao Sect, Senior Sister Huang Doudou's message jade talisman replied, telling them to stay in place as an Elder would come to support them immediately.

Lin Mo let out a long breath; this time they were truly secure. You must know that the Elders of the Jade Maiden Immortal Sect had at least the Core Formation Stage cultivation, and many were even Nascent Soul Stage Elders. Dealing with a mere Chuanxiao Sect was as easy as reaching out and taking something.

They stayed in place to monitor the movements of the Chuanxiao Sect. This mutiny was simply too sudden, catching the Chuanxiao Sect off guard.

Everyone inside was busy dealing with the chaotic scene, and apart from the four of them, no one else managed to run out.

Lin Mo looked up at the sky in boredom, only to see a snow-white escaping light flying over at an extremely fast speed.

The flowing light on the horizon suddenly receded, and a female Cultivator with an otherworldly posture stood in mid-air. She was dressed in a frost-colored wide-sleeved immortal skirt, her robes fluttering without wind, surrounded by mists like a cold pool.

A few strands of loose hair brushed across her exquisitely carved profile, setting off her skin to be even whiter than snow. Those phoenix eyes resembled an ancient well in late autumn, and her gaze was as cold and clear as a quenched sword blade.

Her thin lips were pursed into a cherry-colored line, and Sword Qi circulated naturally around her body, as if even her breath carried the chill of a frosted blade unsheathed — — she was none other than the Sixth Elder of the Jade Maiden Immortal Sect, born with the Ascian Immortal Body, Tao Yaoye.

Tao Yaoye's gaze was sharp as she glanced at Lin Mo and the others, saying coldly: "Are you the few who asked for reinforcements?"

She gave Lin Mo an extra look. As a Utility Disciple, being able to go out on a mission together with Inner Sect Disciples was indeed quite rare.

The last person like that was now a Guest Elder of the Jade Maiden Immortal Sect, Immortal Master Baiyun.

Lin Mo and the others bowed and saluted: "Greetings, Elder."

Tao Yaoye nodded slightly, signaling the few to continue.

Senior Sister Huang Doudou took the initiative to explain the cause and effect, detailing how the Chuanxiao Sect cheated and deceived Loose Cultivators and Mortals.

Tao Yaoye nodded: "I know. Next, leave it to me."

The situation was completely out of control. No one knew that, in fact, the one with the highest cultivation level inside the Chuanxiao Sect was Sect Master Song Zhi, who had the cultivation of the seventh layer of the Qi Refining Stage.

Relying on telling a monstrous lie, he deceived everyone, including himself.

Now that the lie had been brutally exposed, Sect Master Song Zhi ran to the hidden treasure pavilion in the dark, which contained all the treasures cheated by the Chuanxiao Sect.

He filled more than a dozen Storage Pouches and wanted to leave this place by driving a flying Magical Artifact.

Before he managed to run out, he crashed into a transparent protective barrier.

It turned out that Tao Yaoye had raised an escaping light and sacrificed an immortal sword in the air. The sword light split into four, nailing themselves to the four corners of the Chuanxiao Sect, and a sword Formation suddenly rose up.

Tao Yaoye stood proudly and coldly in the center of the Formation, closing her eyes to rest. As long as not a single one of these Demonic Sect Cultivators could escape, they would naturally be settled by the Sect's Law Enforcement Hall.

Lin Mo shrugged his shoulders: "Shall we retreat? There is nothing left for us to do next."

Senior Sister Huang Doudou nodded: "Let's go."

Of course, it was not without gains; a Storage Pouch lay quietly in the embrace of Lin Mo.

This was one of the Storage Pouches in the hands of Sect Master Song Zhi, containing tens of thousands of Spirit Stones. The four of them split over three thousand blocks each.

Then this matter was left rotting in their stomachs; anyway, the Sect did not know how many Storage Pouches Sect Master Song Zhi actually had.

The few sat on the flying boat, returning to the Sect together.

As an Outer Sect Disciple and also a man, Lin Mo naturally sat at the very back of the flying boat.

He quietly admired the figure of Senior Sister Leng Hanyue in front. Although this Senior Sister of his was foolish, she was truly beautiful.

He had not noticed before, but as a Body Cultivator, Senior Sister Leng Hanyue had a slender waist that could be grasped with a single hand, and her buttocks were charming and delightful.

For a moment, Lin Mo became possessed by a ghost, and actually gave a gentle slap on the upturned buttocks of Senior Sister Leng Hanyue.

Senior Sister Huang Doudou turned back curiously and asked in confusion: "What was that sound?"

Senior Sister Leng Hanyue said with a blushing face: "It is nothing, it is nothing. There was a mosquito, and I slapped it to death."

Senior Sister Huang Doudou was somewhat baffled: "We are currently hundreds of meters high in the sky, how can there still be mosquitoes."

However, she did not dwell on it anymore, instead silently speeding up the flying boat to prevent encountering mosquitoes again.

Senior Sister Leng Hanyue turned her head back, biting her silver teeth tightly, glaring at Lin Mo with her big eyes, and said softly: "You are courting death, watch out or I will teach you a lesson!"

Lin Mo shrank his neck. Although the expression of the other party was fierce, why did he still feel a bit cute?

Moreover, Lin Mo could sense that although Senior Sister Leng Hanyue was annoyed, she was not truly angry.

He had a clue in his heart; presumably this lass still liked him. Of course, it could also be that she wanted a thousand-li journey in a single day.

Returning to the Jade Maiden Immortal Sect, the four of them went to submit their mission together. This time, because of their intelligence, the Sect uprooted the Chuanxiao Sect and harvested a large amount of Spirit Stones and Spirit Medicine, definitely a major achievement.

Lin Mo obtained 300 contribution points, which was definitely an astronomical figure for him in the past.

Tang Waner and Senior Sister Leng Hanyue were the same. As an Inner Sect Disciple, Senior Sister Huang Doudou obtained even higher contribution points.

After finishing the mission submission, Senior Sister Huang Doudou was obviously very satisfied with this harvest. With a beaming smile, she said: "Junior Brother and Junior Sisters, let us part ways here today. I am going back to the Inner Sect to comprehend my Cultivation Technique, and I also wish Junior Brother and Junior Sisters to join the Inner Sect as soon as possible."

"Also Junior Brother Lin, you expended Medicinal Pills to help us escape from danger. I have already reported it to the Sect, and in a few days, the Sect will have additional rewards for you."
