Chapter 149 Their blood was all sucked.
The steward was stunned when he saw the emerald-green ship shoot out like an arrow.
One of the boat's workers couldn't help but ask, "Don't they have their own boat? Why are they using ours?"
Upon hearing this, the steward snapped out of his daze and carefully considered the appearance of the ship he had just seen: "It was too conspicuous. I guess they didn't intend to use it, but..." With their home gone, who cares about being conspicuous?
The manager was right. Initially, they didn't use Xiao Cui because she would be too conspicuous near the sea and leave an impression. But now, Ye Qing Shuang really couldn't care less.
The Emerald Dragon sped forward and arrived at the shore a day later. The group put away the Emerald Dragon and, without even having time to rest, boarded the Little Golden Tiger's back. Guided by Ye Qingshuang, they headed towards Tiannan Mountain, the spiritual city of the Zhaoyue Empire.
...
One month later, at the Tianling Sect on Tiannan Mountain in Lingcheng.
After a month, Ye Qingshuang had regained her composure. Now that she had arrived at her doorstep, she turned to the group and said, "There are outsiders in our family now, and they are the largest group. If I get into a conflict with them, please stop me. After all, they are a large and powerful family, while our family is small and has no business yet. We are no match for them."
Ling Yi and Lin Chengtian glanced at Ye Qingshuang upon hearing this, but did not reply.
Baijiu replied, "Qingshuang, we will."
"Sister Qing Shuang, don't worry, we will definitely stop you."
Although Ling Yi and Lin Chengtian didn't express their opinions, the other two did, so Ye Qingshuang felt relieved: "Let's go."
"Okay." The group responded and walked towards the sect with Ye Qingshuang.
Ye Qingshuang stopped in front of the sect's long steps.
Seeing that she had stopped, Lin Chengtian asked, "What's wrong?"
"Something's not right." Ye Qingshuang looked up at the long steps, but there was no one there. She then looked around, but still no one was there.
"Logically speaking, since the Zhaoyue Sect bought the Tianling Sect, they should have sent people to guard it. Why is there no one around here?"
There are only academies, no sects, in Yunzhou. Lin Chengtian was unaware of this, so he simply asked, "Could it be within a sect?"
Ye Qingshuang shook her head: "No."
Even if someone is in the sect, there will be an array at the entrance; it's impossible for there to be neither an array nor anyone guarding it.
Just as Ye Qingshuang was thinking this, several birds flew overhead, and one of them spotted them and flew towards them.
Upon seeing this, the group all became alert.
The birds landed above them, and a boy with a baby face jumped down. Upon seeing them, he immediately said, "You guys were also drawn here by the bounty poster, right?"
"Why are you so late?" The baby-faced boy replied, "The main group set off early this morning, you're late."
Bounty post?
Ye Qingshuang and the others were completely confused, but no one asked. They didn't know the situation, and it would be great if someone was willing to explain, so they naturally wouldn't interrupt.
"Alright, come with me, I'll take you there." After saying that, the baby-faced boy got back onto the bird's back.
Ye Qingshuang looked at Ling Yi, her eyes asking, "To go or not to go?"
Ling glanced at her, said nothing, and followed.
Seeing this, the others also climbed onto the bird's back.
There was no one else on the flying bird's back except for the baby-faced boy. Seeing them get on, the baby-faced boy told the flying bird to hurry on its way. Then he looked at the group of people, and when his gaze landed on Ling Yi, the baby-faced boy said, "Seventh-level Spirit General."
After saying that, he looked at Baijiu again: "Level 6 Spirit General."
After the liquor, Lin Chengtian said, "Level 3 Spirit General."
After Lin Chengtian, the baby-faced man glanced at Lin Xinze, who was still a child, skipped over his cultivation level and looked at Ye Qingshuang: "I can't tell your cultivation level, but it should be higher than mine. I am a Level 1 Spirit Venerable now. What is yours?"
Upon hearing the name "Level One Spirit Venerable," Ling Yi and the others all looked at Ye Qingshuang.
Lin Chengtian's cultivation level increased rapidly because he was cultivating with demonic energy, while Ye Qingshuang's cultivation level went from a sixth-level Spirit Master to a first-level Spirit Venerable without anyone noticing...
The only solution was to suppress his cultivation level.
The spirit-testing stone of the Dongyang Empire is of mid-grade mortal quality, with a testing limit of level ten Spirit Venerable. As long as one's cultivation level does not exceed level ten Spirit Venerable, it is impossible to hide in front of the spirit-testing stone. However, Ye Qingshuang was able to hide, which means that her cultivation level has exceeded level ten Spirit Venerable. After Spirit Venerable, there is Spirit Saint.
Under the watchful eyes of the others, Ye Qingshuang had clearly thought of it as well, and could only say, "Level 5 Spirit Saint."
“I see.” The baby-faced man said, “The cultivation levels of the four of them are too low. I was wondering how you dared to accept the bounty, but if you were the one accepting the bounty, it would make sense.”
Ye Qingshuang's lips twitched, but she didn't reply.
The baby-faced man sighed, "The sect has issued many bounty notices this time, hopefully someone can really solve this problem."
"What kind of bounty post is it? What problem does it need to solve?" Ye Qingshuang no longer hid and asked directly.
The baby-faced man was stunned by this: "Didn't you come here because of a bounty?"
Ye Qingshuang smiled and said, "No."
Upon seeing Ye Qingshuang's denial, the baby-faced man immediately became wary: "Then who are you people, and what are you doing here?"
"Little brat, it's too late to be wary now." Ye Qingshuang pulled out a sword and held it to the baby-faced man's neck: "Your cultivation is lower than mine, you can't beat me. If you don't want to die, you'd better answer my questions obediently."
The baby-faced man cried out, "What...what do you want to do?"
"Let me tell you, I'm no match for you, but my senior brothers and sisters, and my master, are my enemies. If you kill me, they won't let you get away with it!"
"What are you yelling for?" Ye Qingshuang patted the baby-faced boy's head with her sword: "Stop yelling, it's giving me a headache."
The baby-faced boy immediately quieted down. Ye Qingshuang looked at him and said, "Don't worry, as long as you answer my questions properly, I won't kill you."
The baby-faced boy asked incredulously, "Really?"
"Yes." Ye Qingshuang nodded: "Really."
“Then you…” The baby-faced boy gripped the sword and moved it away a bit: “Could you move it a little further away? My skin is thin and delicate, and it’s easy to bleed if you put it too close.”
Ye Qingshuang clicked her tongue lightly at him and simply sheathed her sword: "Answer those two questions quickly."
His senior brothers had gone far away, and now he was helpless, fearing that the sword would come at him again. So the young man immediately said, "It's about the spirit mine."
“People died during the mining, but it’s normal for spirit mines to be dangerous. At first, everyone thought it was an accident, but the last time…” The boy’s face paled as he mentioned this: “Those who died the last time turned into mummies. Their blood was drained.”
“Before, we could say it was an accident, but this time there’s no way around it, there’s something wrong with the spirit mine!” The boy said fearfully, “This is too strange, everyone was scared, and the news spread. Except for the sect leader, all the elders came and conducted a thorough inspection of the spirit mine before they found out where the problem was.”
