Chapter 162: 162. Reaping the Benefits of Others

162. Chapter 162: Reaping the Benefits of Others' Struggle

After Luo Yao emerged, Xi Lan and Fang Qingyan quickly rushed over.

"As expected."

After speaking, Luo Yao waved her hand, and instantly dozens of puppets appeared around her.

Fang Qingyan and the other gasped, staring at the surroundings, "This…"

They were stunned, nothing but stunned.

Over a hundred puppets!

They stood thickly packed; just one glance made one's scalp tingle.

Not to mention Luo Yao herself.

"You miserable women, still trying to assassinate me?"

After speaking, Liu Yizhou suddenly realized, "It's you!"

Seeing this, Liu Yizhou went mad—these were his enemies, and now they were right before him trying to steal his treasures; he couldn't let them succeed.

"Puff!"

So he wasn't foolish—he didn't want to die.

"Invincible?" Xi Lan sneered, "Daring to call yourself that—wonder if you'll even live to walk out."

"If only we could lure those people here…"

The two figures saw Luo Yao and the others standing beside the jade box, their expressions instantly changed as they shouted loudly.

Before he could finish speaking, the Nascent Soul cultivator suddenly collided with something and vanished before everyone's eyes.

"Quickly hide the treasure."

He realized he wasn't a match—he couldn't stand against Xi Lan, a Golden Core cultivator who could dispatch him in an instant.

As he spoke, they saw a figure appear—it was the Nascent Soul cultivator.

"With so many puppets, we can test which spot is safe."

But before he could finish, Wu Di spat a mouthful of blood and collapsed unconscious.

The group immediately moved, controlling the puppets to follow the path they had just taken.

"Little Yao is amazing!"

Immediately beside him stepped out a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Seeing the Nascent Soul cultivator emerge, everyone instantly felt pressure.

If he hadn't returned to his sect in time to mend his severed arm, he'd likely have been left with only one arm for life.

Luo Yao couldn't help mocking, "He's probably struggling just to survive himself—still trying to assassinate us? So hilarious, hah, hahaha!"

Although he has now broken through to Foundation Establishment, so has Luo Yao.

Seeing this, Liu Yizhou was overjoyed and rushed over, shouting angrily, "Where the hell have you been, do you know how worried I—"

Thinking of how the Nascent Soul cultivator had just threatened them with such arrogance, only to be terrified into a panic the next second by the monster, Luo Yao and the others burst into laughter.

"Could it be inside?"

"Whoosh!"

"Huh?"

Luo Yao spoke up, and Fang Qingyan and the other immediately understood who she meant.

"How about I use the Immortal Pill to kill him?"

Back then, he had been half-killed by Luo Yao and lost one arm.

His memory of them was only from that Secret Realm.

"Kill! Kill them all!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

As each puppet vanished, Luo Yao's group quickly tested out a safe path.

"You two miserable women, how dare you show your faces before me?"

Hearing "immortal artifact" and "Immortal Pill," Liu Yizhou's eyes turned red, "Stop! That's mine, mine!"

"Kill them quickly!"

Liu Yizhou was bewildered—where did they go?

Seeing this, Luo Yao and the others stopped trying to seize the jade box and instead burst into laughter.

"What did you do?"

Xi Lan sighed helplessly, "Our strength is far too weak."

Back then, though his strength surpassed Luo Yao's, he nearly died at her hands.

Seeing this, Luo Yao exhaled in relief, then noticed the jade box on the stone table had become solid.

After all, in this Ancient Cultivator Cave Abode, the strongest was only the Nascent Soul cultivator beside Liu Yizhou.

Liu Yizhou instantly recognized Luo Yao and Fang Qingyan, gritting his teeth.

"Then where is the true body of this jade box?"

The three women said in unison.

Instantly, they understood—the treasure could only be obtained after the monster in the Unknown Space was killed.

But Xi Lan's hand did not grasp the jade box.

"Hahaha!"

"Yan Jie, first secure the treasure—we'll look at it later; right now, settle this place."

Seeing the women's mocking expressions, Liu Yizhou flew into a rage.

The moment the thought arose, the group saw two figures appear in the distance.

"Stop!"

Luo Yao's eyes darted, then she shouted at Fang Qingyan and the other, turned, and lunged for the Jade Box.

Xi Lan watched in surprise as her hand passed through the Jade Box, somewhat astonished.

"What kind of treasure could this be?"

Fortunately, no danger appeared.

Pity that Liu Yizhou seemed to think of something and suddenly halted his movement.

Luo Yao spoke, worried that the Nascent Soul Stage cultivator would kill the monster, leaving them no chance then.

They could only pass safely now after spending over a hundred Puppets.

One Puppet cost several thousand Spirit Stones; calculating it, they had already consumed hundreds of thousands of Spirit Stones.

Seeing this, Luo Yao and the others felt somewhat disappointed.

The group searched the surroundings but found nothing; then a thought suddenly surfaced in their minds, and they instinctively exchanged glances.

Luo Yao approached the stone table and looked at the several Jade Boxes upon it.

Xi Lan had no objection; she had said before arriving that they would decide matters here, and she was only there to assist.

Liu Yizhou was no fool; he clearly knew the disappearance of his subordinates was related to Luo Yao and the others.

He roared and charged toward the women.

Xi Lan signaled Luo Yao and the others to be careful while she took the Jade Box; even if danger arose, her strength should ensure safety.

"Young Master, rest assured; these are merely a few ants, a matter of one palm strike..."

The Nascent Soul Stage cultivator nodded, then shot toward Luo Yao and the others.

"That is to say, we must enter that Unknown Space to obtain the treasure?"

"Wu Di?"

Luo Yao and the others tried as well and discovered it was indeed a projection.

"Be silent."

"Who are you?"

By now, their retreat was blocked; unless they could eliminate this Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, they could only hide inside the Space Magic Treasure.

As Luo Yao spoke, she turned her back to Liu Yizhou, then signaled Fang Qingyan and the other with her eyes, "Inside that Jade Box just now were an Immortal Artifact and Immortal Pills."

"Wu Di, what are you doing? Hurry and come out!"

"This Guxiushi is too terrifying; fortunately, we did not charge straight ahead."

Liu Yizhou instantly flew into a rage of shame, "Do not get too cocky; once Wu Di appears, you are doomed."

"Assassination?"

Liu Yizhou's eyes instantly turned red, and he roared full of hatred.

Although Xi Lan and the other could not figure out how Luo Yao had done it, they asked no more, so it ultimately became only a single exclamation of admiration.

"This is... a projection?"

"Ignore him; let us take the treasure and leave; anyway, there is a secret passage here."

Standing near the Statue, Fang Qingyan and the other sighed with emotion.

"Hmm?"

Had they seen the treasure back then and, in a fog of confusion, charged forward, they would likely have died without even knowing how.

Pity, but they could not deal with a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator.

With so many Puppets exploding at once, the three of them combined could not hold them off.

"We will see when we look."

Fang Qingyan nodded, stored the treasure, then the three women drew their Weapons and walked toward Liu Yizhou.

"What do you want? Do not come closer! Do not come closer!"

Liu Yizhou had begun panicking as soon as he saw his Nascent Soul guard meet disaster; now, seeing Luo Yao and the others approach with killing intent, his face instantly changed, and he screamed in terror.
