Chapter 108: Killing to Seize Treasure

Shangyi Huimeizi was utterly shocked; she never expected such a miraculous treasure to exist in the world!

It could not only record text and images but also communicate with others; a mere flick of the finger could convey a message.

Shangyi Huimeizi felt that although the treasure in Cang Luo's hand might lack powerful killing force, the value brought by its ability to record text and images and transmit messages was no less than that of a Heavenly-grade treasure.

Treasures differ slightly from weapons; they refer to artifacts possessing special functions, ranked from lowest to highest in five grades: Yellow, Profound, Earth, Heavenly, and Saint.

In fact, the identity jade tablet of the Profound Tianmen is a treasure, specifically the lowest-grade Yellow treasure.

It was no wonder that the people of the Yuanwu Continent considered the various functions of the mobile phone to be a treasure.

Shangyi Huimeizi then thought that among martial artists, at least a Wu Wang cultivation level was required to transmit sound to one another; the distance of sound transmission depended on the strength of one's Yuan Consciousness, and for a Wu Wang, it was merely a few li.

At what distance could Cang Jun's treasure transmit messages?

Did the other party receiving the message also need to possess such a treasure?

Could messages be transmitted freely between treasures? Even images?

At this moment, the first thing Shangyi Huimeizi thought was: if every sister in the Eastern Japan region were equipped with such a treasure, would intelligence gathering not become much easier? Much safer?

For instance, right now, if she possessed such a miraculous treasure, could she not transmit everything she saw regarding Cang Jun to the Eastern Japan Imperial Court, thousands of li away?

It took days and nights for a carrier pigeon to deliver a letter to the Eastern Japan Imperial Court; how long would Cang Jun's treasure take?

Just now, as soon as Cang Jun finished recording the content, someone replied to him almost instantly...

Shangyi Huimeizi shook her head; she could not judge the transmission speed of Cang Jun's treasure without knowing how far the other party was from Cang Jun.

By the way, what identity does Cang Jun possess, who owns such a miraculous treasure?

Such a miraculous treasure could certainly not be owned by an ordinary person.

Cang Jun said he was a disciple of the Profound Tianmen, the grandson of a certain Elder? Or even the grandson of a Grand Elder?

Highly likely; possessing strength inconsistent with a Wu Shi cultivation level, he must cultivate a high-grade technique, and also own such a miraculous treasure...

Shangyi Huimeizi watched Cang Luo's mobile phone while hiding her aura with Eastern Japan ninja arts, all the while speculating on his identity.

Cang Luo had not noticed until he suddenly sniffed; where did the osmanthus fragrance come from?

In the next moment, Cang Luo was greatly alarmed; he instantly put away his phone, leaped several meters away, turned around, and looked at Shangyi Huimeizi with a face full of vigilance.

Damn! When did she get behind my back?

F***! Silent and soundless, not even breathing, just like Sadako.

The satellite has been monitoring the environment within a five-li radius, yet it failed to notice her nearby; if not for the fact that I smelled the osmanthus fragrance emanating from her, I wouldn't know when I would have discovered her.

What to do? She saw the phone.

Can she understand Chinese characters?

Cang Luo felt somewhat uneasy, but Shangyi Huimeizi revealed a curious expression and asked, "Cang Jun, where did you buy your 'Bestial Atlas'? It's so beautiful!"

Cang Luo paused, thought about the Weibo content just now, and indeed it looked very much like illustrations and text introductions of the Shadow Tiger and Lei Bao Sheep; thus, her mistaking it for the 'Bestial Atlas' was not strange.

Cang Luo slightly lowered his vigilance and smiled, "It's a family heirloom; it cannot be bought anywhere. Do not be fooled by its small size; it records a great deal."

Speaking thus, Cang Luo took out his phone, opened the album, showed it to her, and then brushed off the matter with a few more words.

"I see..." Shangyi Huimeizi nodded faintly, revealing an expression of relief, asked no more, yet was secretly alarmed in her heart.

There are so many images in Cang Jun's treasure; perhaps they hide secrets regarding his identity and the origin of the treasure...

At this moment, Shangyi Huimeizi decided she must investigate thoroughly... the origin of the message-transmitting treasure, and even its method of creation.

Seeing that she did not seem to be lying, Cang Luo stopped probing further; while skinning the tiger, he said, "Shishu Shangyi, let me escort you out; your senior brother must be anxious if he cannot find you."

One should see a Buddha all the way to the West; meeting is fate.

Shangyi Huimeizi hesitated; she still wanted to stay with Cang Luo for a while longer to find an opportunity to investigate the specific capabilities of the message-transmitting treasure.

However, she and Cang Jun had only met once; she had abandoned him and fled when facing the Shadow Tiger. If she now insisted on staying by his side, it would surely arouse suspicion...

Shadow Tiger!

Looking at the Shadow Tiger being skinned by Cang Luo, Shangyi Huimeizi urged, "Cang Jun, let us leave here quickly; the long roar of the Shadow Tiger just now must have attracted Feng Qingyun."

Cang Luo was stunned; he quickly operated the satellite and discovered a figure approaching rapidly from over ten li away, wearing a training uniform identical to Shangyi Huimeizi's; it must be Feng Qingyun.

I have killed his beast pet; killing a beast pet is of the same nature as cutting off an arm, making us mortal enemies; it is best to leave quickly.

Thus, Cang Luo glanced regretfully at the tiger skin not yet fully removed and immediately said, "Then let us go; I will escort you out..."

Cang Luo stopped halfway through his sentence, suddenly thought of something, and added, "You said Feng Qingyun's cultivation is General Stage 7?"

Shangyi Huimeizi was stunned and exclaimed in surprise, "Cang Jun, do you not intend to kill Feng Qingyun?"

Cang Jun is too terrifying; he just killed Feng Qingyun's beast pet, and now he wants to kill him personally.

Not only terrifying, but also extremely bold; a Warrior Stage 9 wanting to kill a General Stage 7.

Shangyi Huimeizi now did not know what to say; she could only secretly conclude that Cang Luo must have some backing, an extraordinary identity, possessing not only the ability to fight across realms but also the disregard to look down on a Wu Wang's grandson...

Shangyi Huimeizi thought Cang Luo's background was awesome, but in reality, Cang Luo was simply reluctant to part with the Shadow Tiger's skin; he believed the skin of a fifth-grade demon beast must be very valuable.

Also, Cang Luo believed that since he had already killed the other party's beast pet, he might as well go all the way and kill Feng Qingyun too; a Wu Wang's grandson might have treasures on his person.

Killing to seize treasure; thus, it was decided.

In this world where martial arts reign supreme, how can one not be ruthless?

Thinking while nodding, Cang Luo said, "Yes, I intend to kill him, but I need your help."

"You want me to help?" Shangyi Huimeizi hurriedly shook her head, saying, "No, no, my strength is low; I cannot help..."

Cang Luo frowned; this Eastern Japan girl was too cowardly; she had abandoned him and run alone just now, and now she was unwilling to help.

Damn! Long hair, short sight; she doesn't even know I am helping her.

Cang Luo said coldly, "Feng Qingyun's grandfather is an Elder of the Five Elements Hall, a Wu Wang; since he failed to assault you, he must fear that you will expose his beastly behavior after returning to the Five Elements Hall.

The fact that he sent the Shadow Tiger to chase you is proof; when he sees the Shadow Tiger killed later, regardless of whether you killed it, he will believe you are involved and worry even more that you will expose him..."

The more Shangyi Huimeizi listened, the more alarmed she became; Cang Jun was right. Feng Qingyun presents himself as a dashing genius disciple within the sect; now that she knows his true face, he will surely kill her.

Seeing her face change drastically, Cang Luo continued, "After discovering the Shadow Tiger is dead, he will rush back to the Five Elements Hall immediately and intercept and kill you on the way!"

At this moment, Shangyi Huimeizi suddenly ceased her panic, looking at Cang Luo with determination and saying, "Cang Jun, I shall obey you entirely; whatever you say, I shall do."

Cang Luo smiled, calculating how much longer it would take for Feng Qingyun to discover this place...

Just as Cang Luo and Shangyi Huimeizi were planning how to kill Feng Qingyun, Feng Qingyun, more than ten li away, was approaching the direction where the two stood with a worried expression, moving quickly.

Just now, Feng Qingyun had also heard the long roar emitted by the Shadow Tiger, which allowed him to find the correct direction; otherwise, in this beast mountain forest where one could see only giant fir trees at a glance, finding a person would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

"Damn bitch, don't let me catch you, or I will make your life worse than death!"

Feng Qingyun was not running at full strength because he had been kicked in the groin by Shangyi Huimeizi earlier, and the area still throbbed with a dull pain.

Thinking of this, Feng Qingyun flew into another rage, while also feeling a bit of worry.

He worried that if Shangyi Huimeizi returned to the Five Elements Hall, she would expose his actions; although his grandfather was an Elder and a Wu Wang powerhouse, the sect probably would not punish him too severely, perhaps only confining him, but his reputation would surely be ruined.

Therefore, Shangyi Huimeizi must die!

However, before she dies, I must make her taste the power of this Young Master!

I have heard that women from the Eastern Sea are very skilled at serving men; I have not tried it yet...

After running another few li, Feng Qingyun asked in confusion, "Why has the Shadow Tiger made no sound? It is a fool! Whether it caught her or not, wouldn't it roar twice to guide me?"

Just as Feng Qingyun wondered why the Shadow Tiger had stopped roaring, he suddenly heard a faint tiger roar coming from ahead; the sound was very small.

Feng Qingyun was delighted and could not help but increase his speed; the tiger roar grew louder and louder.

He listened carefully; the tiger roar seemed very excited.

Feng Qingyun understood; the Shadow Tiger must have caught that Eastern Sea bitch and was sending him a signal.

Thus, Feng Qingyun endured the pain in his groin, increased his speed, and ran wildly in the direction of the tiger roar.

The faster Feng Qingyun ran, the louder the tiger roar became; it seemed there were also a few screams from a woman.

Indeed, he has caught that Eastern Sea bitch!

Feng Qingyun grew excited; after leaping over a patch of grass, suddenly, a massive shadow of deep blue appeared ahead.

It was the Shadow Tiger!

Although it was only a back view, Feng Qingyun immediately confirmed that this Shadow Tiger was indeed his beast pet.

Because at this moment, the Shadow Tiger was pressing down on the lower body of the Eastern Sea bitch to prevent her from escaping; the Eastern Sea bitch was struggling desperately but could not break free, her face filled with terror.

Feng Qingyun was overjoyed; finally, he had caught her!

It was just a bit strange; Feng Qingyun discovered that he seemed to have lost contact with the Shadow Tiger...

As if, as if the beast pet had been killed.

Feng Qingyun shook his head; how could that be? The Shadow Tiger was still roaring vigorously.

Without thinking much, Feng Qingyun, unable to contain his eagerness, walked toward Shangyi Huimeizi, leering as he said, "Bitch, being favored by this Young Master is your honor; how dare you resist?

Would it not be better to submit obediently? If you serve this Young Master well, this Young Master can casually reward you with a single pill, which is worth a month of your arduous cultivation..."

As Feng Qingyun was speaking, suddenly, he felt his feet go soft, and then his entire body began to sink downward.

A trap!

Feng Qingyun was startled; in an instant, he realized it might be a trap set by someone to hunt beasts.

Traps for hunting beasts usually have sharp spears planted at the bottom.

Thinking of this, Feng Qingyun immediately erupted with protective qi to shield his body, while simultaneously drawing the long sword hanging at his waist and sweeping it downward.

Where the long sword passed, the sound of wooden poles being severed echoed.

Feng Qingyun breathed a sigh of relief; the next moment, he landed inside the trap. Glaring down, he saw that spears were indeed planted there; fortunately, with the protective qi shielding his body, only his skin was slightly scratched.

"Unlucky!"

Feng Qingyun cursed under his breath and prepared to jump out of the trap.

However, just at this moment, a large mass of fire shot down from above the trap, along with a huge stone...
