Chapter 255

At the foot of the mountain, the two sides of the life-and-death struggle were a woman and a man. Their cultivation was not high. Fighting back and forth, the magic treasures used by the two didn't even have sword light, looking like the level of the third or fourth stage.

Liu Xiaolou and Zuo Gaofeng naturally looked down on such a fight and originally didn't want to intervene, but the two were chasing and fleeing, and unknowingly they were close to the foot of the mountain.

At this time, Liu Xiaolou finally saw clearly. The one fleeing was a short, wretched-looking man, and the one chasing was a tall, bright-eyed and white-toothed female cultivator. This female cultivator

Zuo Gaofeng couldn't help but praise: "Whose good woman is this, really, tsk tsk tsk"

Liu Xiaolou said speechlessly: "Valley Master Zuo, this is Azhen."

"Azhen? Good name" Zuo Gaofeng suddenly realized: "The girl from the Tian family?"

Liu Xiaolou said: "Yes, didn't expect it, right? I passed by Xiushan two years ago, and I didn't expect it when I saw her. She has grown into this appearance. After two years of separation, it feels different again."

Zuo Gaofeng asked: "Help or not?"

Liu Xiaolou looked a few more times and said: "It seems Azhen is a bit anxious. If we don't help, she can't stop the person in front."

Both of them saw it. The guy fleeing in front might not be able to beat Azhen, but for some reason—perhaps because it was very close to Xiushan, he only thought about fleeing. And Azhen obviously realized this problem too, appearing a bit anxious.

Liu Xiaolou jumped down. The cliff was more than ten feet high. Back then, it needed several jumps, but now he could jump down in one go. Before he landed, the Mystical Truth Rope had already been shot out in the air, and in a flash, it was tied to the short man fleeing in front. The short man was immediately tied tightly, all the opened acupoints were sealed by the Mystical Truth Rope, and he had no strength to move, falling straight forward and eating a mouthful of mud.

Looking at Liu Xiaolou who descended from the sky, Azhen was overjoyed, hurried over to step on the short man on the ground, and poked him unconscious with a finger, only then saying: "Brother Xiaolou, why are you here?"

Liu Xiaolou asked: "What's going on?"

Azhen was very angry: "This thief said he came to Xiushan to buy Cicada Wing Armor. Who knew that after finding out the teacher was not on the mountain, he committed theft. After being discovered by me, he dared to flee!"

Zuo Gaofeng also came down from the cliff and smiled: "Azhen, do you still remember Uncle Zuo?"

Azhen said pleasantly surprised: "Uncle Zuo is here too, oh my, this is really great, haven't seen Uncle Zuo for a long time" and whispered: "Are you here at Xiushan to avoid disaster?"

Zuo Gaofeng asked with a smile: "What did Azhen hear?"

Azhen said: "Tianmu Mountain is offering rewards for people from our Wulong Mountain everywhere, they are almost crazy. Uncle Zuo, your reward is thirty spirit stones! Senior Longshan is forty spirit stones, Uncle Dai is fifty spirit stones!"

Liu Xiaolou asked: "What about me?"

Azhen said: "There is no Brother Xiaolou."

Zuo Gaofeng wondered: "Why is there no Xiaolou?"

Azhen said: "I don't know, there just isn't. I specifically looked at the letter sent to Xiushan."

Whether there is a reward or not, let's put it aside for now. The matter at hand needs to be solved for Azhen. Liu Xiaolou walked over and fumbled on the short man for a while, and sure enough, found a soft armor as thin as a cicada's wing, as transparent and smooth as silk clothes, and handed it to Azhen: "Is this the Cicada Wing Armor?"

Azhen hurriedly took it: "A Cicada Wing Armor is worth thirty spirit stones. It was my turn to be on duty today. If it was lost, I really wouldn't know how to explain it when the teacher returns to the mountain."

Liu Xiaolou lifted him up again: "Take him back to Xiushan, and deal with him when your teacher returns to the mountain."

Azhen nodded: "Okay."

Liu Xiaolou took back the Mystical Truth Rope and handed the person to Azhen. Azhen punched him hard in the chest again, sealing his true qi. Suddenly, a "click" sound was heard, and an object fell from the man's arms.

It was a wooden plaque carved from purple sandalwood, with a simple and ancient shape, and "Hidden Branch Sect Order" engraved on the front.

This Sect Master token was almost made from the same mold as the "Three Mystical Sect Order", "Purple Extreme Sect Order", and "Form Nether Sect Order" collected by Liu Xiaolou, exactly the same.

Azhen picked up this Sect Master token, was so angry that she kicked this person a few more times, and only felt relieved after kicking this person until his head was broken and bleeding, saying hatefully: "Even stealing the teacher's Sect Master token, really deserve to die!"

Zuo Gaofeng said: "Your Xiushan is called Hidden Branch Sect? Haven't heard that Fairy Jingzhen opened a sect."

Azhen explained: "This was passed down to the teacher by the grandmaster. The grandmaster was the Sect Master of the Hidden Branch Sect before, but the sect declined. When passing it to the teacher, she specifically instructed not to mention the sect again, and just cultivate steadily. So the teacher doesn't want to mention it either. We don't mention the Hidden Branch Sect now. But I heard the teacher say that the Hidden Branch Sect was a large sect that occupied a cave heaven and blessed land before."

Liu Xiaolou asked: "What is the use of this Sect Master token?"

Azhen said: "I don't know either. In short, it is placed in the main hall for worship. I don't know what this thief stole it for, it's not a magic treasure, let alone a spirit material."

Liu Xiaolou thought for a while and said: "Ask him?"

Azhen nodded, woke the thief up, unsealed his several acupoints, and asked: "You came to Xiushan, why did you steal our Sect Master token?"

The short man's eyes rolled around, begging for mercy: "Good girl, spare the little one. It was the little one whose ghost obsessed his heart, and for a moment greed arose... Seeing this piece of purple sandalwood worshipped in the hall, I thought in my heart that it might be some treasure. The little one will never dare again!"

Azhen looked at Liu Xiaolou, Liu Xiaolou nodded, signaling not to ask anymore, so she poked this person unconscious again with a finger, and said: "Uncle Zuo, Brother Xiaolou, where are you planning to stay? I will come to find you after I take the person back."

Zuo Gaofeng said: "Tianmu Mountain is investigating very strictly. We need to continue heading south, and consider coming back after half a year or a year."

Azhen was a bit disappointed, but thinking of their current situation, she could only express understanding. So she carried this short thief back to the mountain, reluctant to part all the way, and turned back to wave several times.

Watching her go far away, Zuo Gaofeng suddenly said to Liu Xiaolou: "I plan to leave and go to the Chicheng Mountain market again."

Liu Xiaolou probably knew what he meant: "Is there a Foundation Establishment Pill there? I have been there with Xiaofang before, and I have visited all the elixir rooms, but I haven't heard of any Foundation Establishment Pill for sale."

Zuo Gaofeng said: "Just now seeing the 'Hidden' word on that token, I suddenly thought of the Hidden Market in the Chicheng Mountain market. There is no Foundation Establishment Pill in the elixir rooms of each family, but it's hard to say in the Hidden Market. I have saved enough spirit stones now, and I want to try my luck."

The so-called Hidden Market is the underground black market, a place to sell stolen goods. Liu Xiaolou went to the Chicheng Mountain market for a month, and most of the time he was refining array plates, so he never had the opportunity to go to the legendary Hidden Market—as a newcomer to the Chicheng Mountain market, he couldn't get in for the time being.

For Zuo Gaofeng, this was the most important thing in his cultivation, so Liu Xiaolou could only wish him good luck.

"Don't wake up Xiaofang and Bazhang, I will come back as soon as possible."

"Take care all the way, be very careful. The basket of Baiye Mountain is really too big. It's hard to say that the Golden Core Elders of Tianmu Mountain will go down the mountain. Azhen said that Valley Master Zuo's reward is thirty spirit stones, don't be careless. Also, there is also the Lu's Elixir Room of Tianmu Mountain in the Chicheng Mountain market, and the Valley Master is going to buy elixirs, they..."

Zuo Gaofeng patted Liu Xiaolou: "Got it, I have a count in my heart!"

After Zuo Gaofeng left, Liu Xiaolou didn't go back, but came to the foot of Xiushan again, waiting patiently. After waiting for two days, he really saw several female cultivators escorting the thief who stole the Cicada Wing Armor down the mountain. One of them kicked the thief, and scolded: "Get out, if I see you again in the future, I will chop you into eight pieces!"
