After Luo Shunyi was chased away by Hu Niu, Xin Jinrui and the others exchanged glances and decisively stepped forward.
Although they had no grievances or enmity with these people, since both sides had encountered each other, they naturally couldn't just let it go like this.
First capture them, then make plans.
But unexpectedly, as soon as they stepped out, that group of people jumped up in fright.
That group clearly hadn't expected to see a group of young people here.
Although they hadn't checked the bone age, just by looking at Xin Jinrui and the others' appearances and the youthful aura radiating from them, one could tell their age definitely wasn't high.
As for their strength, these people couldn't figure it out.
However, since these people appeared following behind the Soul-Devouring Tiger, there must be some kind of connection.
A man's face suddenly changed, "It's them!"
Xin Jinrui and the others were immediately stunned, did they know them?
However, they immediately took defensive stances, preparing to act.
Xin Jinrui even took out his spirit sword, his expression grave.
That man seemed to think of something, his face changing, "They are the people from that courtyard outside!"
His companion also looked over, "People from outside?"
"Near Wuzong Valley!" The man's face was terrified, "So it's them!"
Xin Jinrui and the others looked at each other.
Wuzong Valley? Where?
They must've recognized the wrong people, right?
The man's face became even paler. Ignoring the pain on his body, he climbed up from the ground, tore off his storage bag, and threw it toward them, "Give them your storage bag and run!"
His movements were extremely swift, one pull, one throw, then he turned and ran.
Smooth and flowing, without the slightest hesitation.
This complete set of actions left the Wanxuan Sect disciples speechless.
Chu Jingzhuo subconsciously caught the storage bag thrown over and was also completely confused.
The man ran, and his companions reacted extremely quickly as well.
Although they didn't understand why, it was not the moment for them to think too much.
Moreover, the one who ran away was the most intelligent and well-connected among them.
Judging from his reaction just now, he knew this group of people!
So, run!
This group moved in unison, directly pulling off the storage bags at their waists, then throwing them out and turning to run.
Looking at their fleeing backs, Qin Yiwei and the others looked at each other.
"This…"
"What are they doing?"
"What's going on?"
The several people were all stunned.
They had never expected things would develop like this.
"Do they know us? Have we met before?" Qin Yiwei looked at Chu Jingzhuo.
Chu Jingzhuo had a good memory and could recognize people he had seen before.
Chu Jingzhuo also shook his head blankly, "No, I don't remember us meeting."
If they'd met, he would've recognized them long ago.
"Then this is…"
Everyone lowered their heads, looking at the storage bags on the ground, all confused.
"That person just now mentioned Wuzong Valley, where is Wuzong Valley?" Meng Fanzé couldn't help asking.
"Could it be… that valley near our sect?" Lu Wenjun frowned and said.
"That place?" Meng Fanzé's eyes widened, "Is that place called Wuzong Valley?"
"I'm not sure either." Lu Wenjun shrugged, "Even if you asked me, I wouldn't know."
Lu Wenjun looked toward Chu Jingzhuo and Qin Yiwei.
Chu Jingzhuo and Qin Yiwei exchanged a glance, both having the same confusion in their eyes.
"Who cares about that? We've got more storage bags again!"
Jiang Yunnuan didn't care about this at all. She happily stepped forward, picking up the storage bags, "We got more storage bags without even having to make a move, how great!"
She put away the storage bags, happily patted the dust off them, and grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, "Hehe, what a great harvest!"
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration appeared in Chu Jingzhuo's mind, "I know now!"
"You know what?"
Everyone immediately looked over.
Chu Jingzhuo's expression was rather complicated, "It seems that those who passed by our sect, all lost their storage bags."
Everyone paused for a moment, then couldn't help recalling.
Then, they all showed expressions of realization, "Seems like it!"
"That's right, our sect has more and more storage bags now!"
Thinking about it carefully, their sect had also encountered quite a few troubles.
Of course, those troubles were all resolved in the end.
And those who came to cause trouble ultimately all left their storage bags behind.
"That person just now might be someone's friend?" Qin Yiwei also frowned and guessed.
"That's possible!"
The others all nodded.
"Hahaha! Maybe everyone who comes has to leave a storage bag, so the reputation has spread!" Ke Chongbo laughed loudly.
The six of them instantly looked over, their gazes sharp.
"What you're saying makes it sound like our Wanxuan Sect is some bandit stronghold!"
"Exactly, we have never actively robbed others' things!"
"They were all compensation!"
Their reputation couldn't be ruined!
Ke Chongbo laughed awkwardly and scratched his head, "I-I didn't mean that, those who leave storage bags are of course all bad people!"
He quickly changed the topic, "Hey, hurry and dig the spirit crystals, otherwise other spirit beasts might come later!"
"That's right, hurry and dig!"
Crack.
While they were busy digging spirit crystals, the sound of branches being stepped on came from behind.
They immediately stopped their actions and took defensive stances.
"It's senior!"
"Senior has returned!"
Seeing Hu Niu, everyone let out a sigh of relief.
Heaven knew that while they were talking just now, they had also been extremely nervous.
If not for Hu Niu leading the way, they wouldn't have dared go this deep into the forest.
Now that Hu Niu had returned, they could be at ease.
"Senior… hmm?"
Their joy halted when they saw the storage bag in Hu Niu's mouth.
"Roar~"
Hu Niu spat the bag onto the ground and slapped it with its paw.
Although they couldn't understand its meaning, from its expression one could see that it was proud.
Everyone: "..."
Recalling the actions of that group just now, they fell silent.
In their sect, even the Soul-Devouring Tiger knew to keep the enemy's storage bags!
Several kilometers away, several Golden Core Stage cultivators were frantically fleeing for their lives.
"Third brother, what happened just now?"
"There were so many treasures in our storage bags!"
The people behind were all heartbroken.
"What do you know? I was saving you!" The man turned his head, his face serious.
"Saving us?"
"My friend told me that there is a place outside the Myriad Beast Forest that must not be approached. If you go there, even if you don't die, you'll lose a layer of skin!"
"Ah? Are there bandits blocking the road there?"
"Not bandits, but about the same! They have several spirit beasts there, very fierce!"
"So that Soul-Devouring Tiger just now…"
"Exactly, that's why I told you to quickly throw away your storage bags, otherwise I was afraid you would even lose your lives!"
"Damn, that's too terrifying! Which sect is this to be so excessive! Could it be Myriad Beast Sect?"
"Myriad Beast Sect has also started robbing?"
"Don't know, but if we see them in the future, we must be careful! Quickly throw away your storage bags, then flee for your lives! As long as the green hills remain, there will be no shortage of firewood!"
"Alright, we'll definitely be careful!"
