"What a useless person, scared out of their wits like that?"
Seeing the stunned yellow-robed cultivator, Zhang Lingyu's brows furrowed with displeasure, and she focused her gaze solely on the black-robed cultivator.
The latter immediately understood, bowed his head and said, "Junior Lu Song greets the Master."
"You two came from Blazing Valley?"
Seeing that Zhang Lingyu did not pursue the matter of him chasing the yellow-robed cultivator, Lu Song couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but he quickly grasped the crux of the problem.
Why did I chase the yellow-robed cultivator all the way from the Blazing Cloud Valley?
That's because the other party stole a treasure that should have belonged to them, a treasure they obtained from the valley.
This anonymous person must really care about that treasure!
Judging from the various strange phenomena that occurred in Blazing Cloud Valley five days ago and the successive arrivals of cultivators searching for treasures, the person in front of me must also be here to search for treasures.
They've arrived late and are unaware of the situation in the valley; they'll probably need to ask me for information.
He was filled with unease, afraid of saying the wrong word. After a few moments of deliberation, he said, "Replying to the Master, we did indeed come out of the valley."
"Ever since the strange phenomenon of the sky being filled with rosy clouds appeared in Blazing Cloud Valley five days ago, we independent cultivators and cultivators from the surrounding aristocratic sects have all rushed here to search for treasures."
"I arrived three days ago, intending to explore the valley, but unexpectedly, the Tang family of Tangbo and the Sanshimen, two major forces with Golden Core cultivation, joined forces to block the valley and drive away the other cultivators. We are only at the Foundation Establishment stage, and we can only submit to their tyranny."
Having said that, he gritted his teeth and said, "We couldn't get into the valley, and we were unwilling to leave, so we had to linger on the outskirts. This morning, I finally managed to stake out a treasure, but this thief snatched it away first, which led to this chase!"
After hearing this, Zhang Lingyu remained silent for a long time.
His face appeared calm, but his heart was in turmoil!
A strange phenomenon of the sky filled with rosy clouds?
"Have the Tang family's Golden Core cultivators and the Three Stone Gate's Golden Core cultivators joined forces to seal off the valley?"
How could a mere mature Burning Heart Grass cause such a massive phenomenon? It's highly likely that some secret realm or cultivator's cave has appeared in the valley; otherwise, it wouldn't have such a grand spectacle.
He was pleasantly surprised; he had only come to pick spiritual herbs, but unexpectedly stumbled upon a major event!
However, amidst his excitement, he also gleaned some key information from Lu Song's words.
That means this person obtained a treasure on the outskirts of the valley. How could they have obtained a treasure when the secret realm or cave was not open? And how did this treasure get to the outskirts?
The strange phenomenon has been going on for five days, and it seems that those who arrived early have all benefited.
After listening, Zhang Lingyu looked at him with interest and asked, "Oh? I just happened to be passing by and didn't expect to encounter this. Then tell me in detail why these treasures appeared in the valley and how you managed to ambush one of them?"
"what?"
Lu Song was utterly incredulous. The Golden Core cultivator before him hadn't actually come to Blazing Cloud Valley on purpose; he'd thought the other party knew...
However, he soon realized that this might be an opportunity for him. If he answered well, he might gain the man's appreciation and receive some reward.
So he quickly revealed everything he knew.
It turns out that the radiant glow originated from a mountain peak in the valley. At first, the cultivators who came to investigate dared not approach rashly, but unexpectedly, several treasures would fly out from the glow every day at noon.
It includes all kinds of magical implements, elixirs, and talismans.
And most of them are of foundational quality.
The cultivators who came to investigate were immediately blinded by the prospect of profit and rushed to join the fray.
It is unknown which cultivator leaked the news, which attracted many cultivators to come and search for the treasure. At the same time, it also attracted the two Golden Core cultivators and their subordinate forces, which led to the sealing of the valley.
With the Golden Core cultivator in charge, the treasures emerging from the radiant light were naturally intercepted one by one. Lu Song's ability to ambush the treasures on the outside was simply a matter of attacking the cultivators who were driven out from the inside and snatched the treasures.
As for the current situation in the valley, he knew nothing about it.
However, the unusual phenomenon of radiant light continued, suggesting that the secret realm or cave had not yet been opened.
"This scene looks so familiar!"
Zhang Lingyu was both amused and exasperated after hearing this, as he was all too familiar with this scene.
Before the Spirit Puppet Sect ruins were opened, they also released some treasures, but the amount of treasures back then was far greater than what we have now.
However, judging from this, there must be some trickery involved. How could the radiant light give away treasures for no reason? Do you think that foundation-building magic artifacts are some kind of cabbage that you can just give away whenever you want?
There must be someone manipulating things behind the scenes, all to attract more cultivators.
Either it's to possess another's body, or it's to consume blood to restore its strength!
Zhang Lingyu quickly formed his own guesses and was extremely vigilant. As for the specific situation, he would find out soon through the intelligence system.
With a wave of his hand, Lu Song and the yellow-robed cultivator's storage bags flew into his palm. The two men's expressions changed drastically, but they dared not utter a word of complaint.
Encountering a Golden Core cultivator is considered bad luck for them; if they could offer up their storage bag to save their lives, they would be more than willing.
After receiving the storage bag, Zhang Lingyu quickly scanned it with her divine sense and found no trace of the Burning Heart Grass.
Those two sealed off the valley; they must have turned it upside down. How could someone with Golden Core cultivation not have discovered it? Unfortunately... it was too late.
He suppressed his regret, glanced at Lu Song, and asked, "What does that treasure look like?"
"In response to the question, it is indeed a high-grade Foundation Establishment spear!"
A few breaths later, Zhang Lingyu held a dark golden spear in his hand. He weighed it in his hand and carefully examined it with his divine sense, but found nothing special about it.
So he threw the spear and the storage bag belonging to the latter back together.
"You can leave now."
"Thank you so much, Master! Thank you so much, Master!"
He was already incredibly lucky to have kept his storage bag and his own life; he never expected that the lost magical artifact would actually come back.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance smugly at the yellow-robed cultivator, only to see that the latter's face was even stinkier than a rotten egg!
Hehe, who told you to not only address the Golden Core cultivator as a fellow Daoist, but also to remain silent when the True Person asked you questions? The treasure should rightfully be mine!
After thanking him aloud, he quickly bowed again before riding away on the wind.
After the person had gone far away, Huang Yi withdrew his resentful gaze. His mouth was filled with bitterness. Remembering that his storage bag was still in the other person's hands, he said in a low voice, "Master... please forgive me if my words were inappropriate earlier."
"I still have a wife, children, and elderly parents to support... I hope you, sir..."
"Alright, you can go now."
Zhang Lingyu had no time to listen to this person's rambling. He tossed the storage bag aside and quickly fled towards Blazing Cloud Valley.
He's not some vicious criminal; he wouldn't kill someone over a single, not particularly offensive remark, and he certainly wouldn't rob someone's storage bag.
After flying for about fifteen minutes, we finally approached Blazing Valley.
Looking up, we indeed saw the extraordinary sight of the valley filled with rosy clouds!
At this moment, he had no mind to appreciate the beautiful scenery. He quickly disappeared into the forest below and silently activated the intelligence system.
Let me see what's causing trouble in this valley!
