Demon Sword Sect’s Undercover -
Chapter 300 - 300 299 Hard-won
300: Chapter 299: Hard-won 300: Chapter 299: Hard-won The Daoist did not blame her, sighed, “The injury is quite severe, but with me here, he’s probably not going to die.”
Bai Qingqian felt a pang of heartache, but she also took a deep breath; now that she was closer, she could clearly see the pitiful state of the bandit, who had probably had his face cleaned by the Daoist, revealing a face that was not handsome but still quite striking.
Surprisingly, he was very young, about the same age as their group.
His face was bloodless, his eyes tightly shut.
This guy, good at deceitful and evil stealth attacks, was exposed in a fair and square fight; it was only by luck that he could have killed two Wu Sect Upper Cultivators with such skills?
“We have the best Holy Medicine for healing wounds!” cried Uncle Bai urgently.
He didn’t recognize this person, a completely unfamiliar young cultivator.
He couldn’t fathom why he would go to such lengths to help them?
He was a cunning old man, but looking at the relationship between the Daoist and this person, judging by their relative positions as they lay now, their relationship was evidently deep.
Normally, strangers, especially between men and women, would never get so close!
Thus, he was willing to offer the best Holy Medicine.
But the Daoist declined, “No need, the minor injuries he has would be a waste of your Holy Medicine; let him suffer a bit, it’ll be good for him.”
Uncle Bai, holding a pile of Holy Medicine, stood frozen, unsure of what to do in this situation?
Bai Qingqian pulled him aside, “Uncle, if Uncle Master Daoist says there’s no need, then it must be no big deal.
Your medicines are Golden Core Nascent Transformation Holy Medicines, how can he handle them?
We can find other ways to repay him.”
Uncle Bai was startled, “What ways?”
Bai Qingqian whispered, “Uncle, do we have any Earth System Magic Artifacts in our treasures that could be useful to someone in the Tongtian Realm?
Possibly related to Earth Escape?”
Uncle Bai was clear, “Of course, we do!
What treasures does a millennium-old business not have?
For Tongtian three-levels, I have many.
But the truly top Earth Element Magic Artifacts are only three: the <Artifact Name>, Grassroots, and a Thousand-Mile Earth Map, all genuine treasures, not easily shown to others.
Why, does this benefactor need these?”
Bai Qingqian nodded, “Yes, I think he really needs them.
I wonder if Uncle Master is willing to offer one as a token of gratitude?”
Uncle Bai gave her a meaningful look, well aware of what she was truly thinking, since they were from the same family.
“Are you underestimating me?
Compared to the future of you youngsters, no matter how precious, a treasure has its price!
It’s no shame for the Bai Family to offer one, and if we are to give, we should give all three!”
The two returned to the front of the Daoist, with Bai Qingqian handing over a Treasure Gourd, “Here are some sentiments from our Bai Family, not as a thank you but as a friendly exchange.
Perhaps these three Earth System Magic Artifacts might be useful to this Upper Cultivator?”
The Daoist still refused, “No need, what use does a Sword Cultivator have for treasures?”
This time, Bai Qingqian would not relent, “Uncle Master, shouldn’t you ask this Upper Cultivator instead of deciding for him?”
The Daoist’s eyebrows raised sharply, eyes locked with the two women, sparking like clashing swords; after a long while, the Daoist smiled broadly,
“Very well, let me make the choice.”
The Treasure Gourd was placed in front of the person lying down, and Bai Qingqian softly said, “Upper Cultivator, all three Earth Element treasures are related to Earth Escape: one set of pact-signing tablets, one Grassroots, and one Earth Map.
Using their laws might be of great help to you, might it not?”
Before her words had faded, the person, without even opening their eyes, clutched the Treasure Gourd tightly and refused to let go.
Bai Qingqian smiled slightly, her chest puffed with pride; she had known it would be this way.
She didn’t know what relationship this tricky thief had with Daoist Yanran, but she had clearly seen the battle last night—it was crystal clear.
At the brink of life and death, he used Earth Escape frequently.
That must be his main cultivation technique; therefore, he could have no resistance to these three treasures.
Daoist Yanran was startled, both amused and annoyed, but she didn’t mind losing face in front of the younger generation.
Taking into account the difference in their realms, she still maintained her poise.
After thinking it over, she still reminded them, “After you all settle down, if someone asks about today’s events, you might as well shift the blame to the Quanzhen Sect; after all, a multitude of lice do not itch, and a multitude of debts do not worry.”
Mr.
Bai nodded.
Liuyang Daoist Palace definitely did not want to take the blame, although it was almost certain that the last Wu Sect cultivator was killed by Daoist Yanran.
Actually, blaming an unknown loose cultivator would be the best way, but that wouldn’t convince the public,
“Daoist friend, if the Quanzhen Sect finds out about this matter, will they come forward to deny it?”
Daoist Yanran scoffed, “Why should they deny it?
Who do you think saved you?
Who would dare to wreak havoc at the border between the two countries, especially against the strongest Daoist Sect in the Southwest?”
The members of the Bai Family looked at each other in confusion; it turned out that their saviors were indeed Quanzhen Sword Cultivators.
Thinking about it, in such a place, no one but Quanzhen Sword Cultivators would dare to confront the Wu Sect so boldly; but what they couldn’t understand was, why would a sword cultivator bother to learn Earth Escape?
With the crisis resolved, the six members of the Bai Family dared not linger any longer.
They quickly passed through the Poplar Forest and entered the territory of Shan Country, headed north.
Only when they saw the outline of Jin City did they realize they were completely safe.
Even if the Wu Sect was powerful, they wouldn’t dare to cause trouble on Quanzhen Sect’s turf.
According to their plan, they would rest a few days in Jin City to consolidate resources before heading their separate ways.
Mr.
Bai stayed in Shan Country, as it was closest to Anhe, convenient for him to react quickly; Zongsheng went to Wei Country, and the others also had their destinations, some even outside the Southwest region.
The night before parting, Bai Qingqian approached Mr.
Bai, “Uncle, I wish to stay in Shan Country with you.
You need a helper, and I think Qingqian could be of some help to you.”
Mr.
Bai’s eyes were filled with a complexity known only to those who have experienced much, but his refusal was firm, “Your destination is Linhai.
Because it is near the sea with abundant resources, the sea’s bounty is inexhaustible; it is the most important distribution center for our Bai Family, aside from our old nest in Anhe.
Unlike other places that barely manage to break even, Linhai is our second treasure trove.
Now that our old home in Anhe is gone, it is our hope for the Bai Family’s revival.
Over the years, given Anhe’s unstable situation, we have already been quietly moving some of our business and labor to Linhai.
Now we notably lack a leader there.
So tell me, other than you and me, who else could manage such a significant family business?”
He patted her head as he had when she was a child, “I will be here in Shan Country to meet your elder brothers; this isn’t something someone of your realm level can handle.
You manage the rear in Linhai; that was our original division of labor and shouldn’t be changed because of an accident.
As for personal matters, they are not important.
If there is fate, we will meet no matter where we are!”
There was one more thing he didn’t mention: this Upper Cultivator from Quanzhen might not stay in Shan Country permanently.
Knowing the customs of the Quanzhen Sect, who could say for sure?
Therefore, staying in Shan Country was fundamentally pointless.
