Chapter 271: Two hundred seventy, danger
Luo Shu and Yun Han walked around the trading hall, but they did not buy anything else, as anything they were interested in was swiftly claimed by Feng Yuexia before they could make a move. This made them lose interest in purchasing anything. Additionally, there really wasn’t anything at the trading meet that they particularly needed.
After joining Yun Han outside in the martial arts arena, the ongoing matches outside were in full swing.
"Can we leave this place now?" Luo Shu asked Yun Han, feeling that the couple who had sold the sheepskin scroll earlier were somewhat odd.
"We need to wait until the matches here are over," Yun Han said. Even if they went out now, it would be pointless since the barrier around Yueting Town had not yet been lifted.
"Alright!" Luo Shu nodded helplessly, but her unease continued to grow.
"What’s wrong?" Seeing Luo Shu frown, Yun Han asked.
Luo Shu shook her head, "Let’s watch the matches." If it’s a blessing, it’s not misfortune; if it’s misfortune, it cannot be avoided. She now only hoped that her intuition was wrong.
Watching the matches absentmindedly, Luo Shu kept thinking about how she should respond if things turned out as she suspected.
"Hey!" Yun Han suddenly patted Luo Shu’s shoulder.
Luo Shu jumped, looking at Yun Han with some surprise, "What’s wrong?"
"What are you thinking about? I’ve called you several times and you didn’t respond," Yun Han said. Ever since Luo Shu came out from the trading hall, she had been distracted, and he had tried to get her attention several times without success.
After thinking for a while, Luo Shu said, "Let’s split up when we go out later." With her space, the odds of escaping would be greater if they separated.
"Are you afraid that the girl from the Feng Family will trouble you?" Yun Han guessed.
Glancing around, Luo Shu whispered, "Don’t you find that couple who sold the sheepskin scroll a bit strange?" While she had been looking at other stalls at the trading meet, she had been subtly paying attention to that stall. Several people had inquired about the sheepskin scroll, but the couple declined every inquiry without discussing terms. And she had a persistent feeling that someone was watching her.
Yun Han shook his head and asked seriously, "Are you worried they will harm you?"
Luo Shu nodded, "Ever since I saw them, I’ve had a very unsettling feeling, as if I’ve been targeted."
"With your strength being so low, won’t you be in more danger if we split up?" Yun Han asked. He was the one who brought her here, so he had to ensure her safety.
"I have a way to protect myself, take this." Seeing that the match on the stage had ended, Luo Shu reached into her pocket and handed Yun Han a Fire Cloud Crystal.
When Yun Han felt the aura of the Fire Cloud Crystal, he was momentarily taken aback, then quickly accepted it, looking at Luo Shu in surprise, "How do you have this?" He’d been searching for so long and had not expected to obtain it so easily. It was an unexpected delight.
Luo Shu smiled but did not feel like explaining too much, "You bought the lotus pod with the Nine-Leaf Lotus Seed for me earlier; consider this an exchange. Thank you for showing me this different world." It had made her realize her own weakness.
Without being polite with Luo Shu, Yun Han accepted the Fire Cloud Crystal and handed her a bag of Spirit Stones, "Take these Spirit Stones. Using them for cultivation, your strength will improve much faster."
"Thank you!" Luo Shu took the Spirit Stones. Cultivating with them would indeed yield better results. If she hadn’t received Spirit Stones before, she never would have advanced in Qi Refinement so quickly.
As the matches came to an end, everyone bid farewell and left the Dual Cultivation Sect.
Luo Shu and Yun Han followed the crowd toward the exit.
No sooner had she stepped out of the Dual Cultivation Sect’s range than Luo Shu felt a gaze fixed on her from behind. She signaled Yun Han with her eyes, then quickly weaved through the crowd and ran towards the woods.
The couple made to follow her immediately, but Yun Han stopped them, "I just saw that you have a sheepskin scroll for sale. How about you tell me your terms for a trade?"
"Get lost!" The man from the couple lashed out at Yun Han, while the woman chased in the direction Luo Shu had run.
Luo Shu hurried into the dense forest, sensing danger behind her. She quickly dodged into her space. Her strength was incomparable to her pursuer’s, and facing them head-on would have been akin to seeking death.
The pursuing woman stopped, took out a turtle shell, and saw a faint blue light flickering from it. The light transformed into an arrow pointing straight at the place where Luo Shu was hiding.
With a cold smile, the woman threw out several Formation Flags, "If you don’t come out now, once I activate the Formation, you’ll never be able to leave." They had put out the sheepskin scroll specifically to find its other half. Luo Shu came under their scrutiny because the turtle shell had reacted when she appeared; the turtle shell and the sheepskin scroll had originally been together.
Having had the sheepskin scroll for a long time and never getting a reaction from the turtle shell until now, they were certain the other half was on Luo Shu.
Now that Luo Shu had suddenly disappeared, it was very likely she had some kind of spatial Magical Treasure. Considering this possibility, the woman’s excitement surged.
"Xiao Qing, how confident are you?" Luo Shu asked the Green Snake beside her. Xiao Qing had just informed her that the woman’s Cultivation had reached the Mid Foundation Establishment stage.
"Seventy percent," Xiao Qing replied. Although its strength had increased greatly recently, the opponent was not weak either.
"Then I will go out and distract her while you launch a sneak attack from behind. Let’s make it quick and decisive," Luo Shu immediately devised a battle plan.
The woman, losing patience at Luo Shu’s delay, raised her hand to activate the Formation. However, Luo Shu appeared before her, throwing countless Talismans at her like they cost nothing.
The woman scoffed with disdain, "Don’t embarrass yourself with such child’s play."
Suddenly, her expression changed and she swiftly dodged to one side. Yet, her right ankle was still struck by Xiao Qing’s attack. A cold aura quickly swept up her leg, and soon her legs became immobile.
The woman looked at the Green Snake behind her in shock, realizing her careless mistake. She hastily threw the Formation Flags and began to activate the Formation.
However, she was astonished to find that her Formation had no effect on Luo Shu, "Do you have a Fire Cloud Crystal on you?" Only with the Fire Cloud Crystal could one be unaffected by the Formation’s imprisonment.
