Why does the other party appear so frequently in the south of the city?

Is there some secret or conspiracy?

Suddenly, one of them seemed to sense Bai Ziyue’s gaze and immediately looked over cautiously.

Bai Ziyue instantly averted his gaze, looking indifferent.

The other party looked around and saw that there were several other Sunburst Gang disciples dressed like Bai Ziyue, so they didn’t find anything suspicious. They turned around quickly and paid the entrance fee, disappearing to the other side of the city gate.

"Such sharp senses, such cautious minds."

Bai Ziyue muttered to himself, suspicion building in his heart.

However, he had no idea what they were doing entering and leaving the west of the city, nor did he know their identities. Even if he wanted to investigate, he couldn’t. He had to repress it for now.

Crossing the city gate, Bai Ziyue looked around and, as expected, had lost sight of them. He wasn’t too disappointed and hurried home.

The next day, Bai Ziyue left his house with the little dog that had grown to his knee height, and returned to Cyan Mountain Medicine Garden without any issues.

As soon as they arrived at Cyan Mountain Medicine Garden, the little dog seemed extremely excited—chasing butterflies here and bees there, running wildly through the garden. Occasionally, it would stop by the fences to mark its territory, indicating that this area now belonged to it.

To test its abilities, Bai Ziyue specifically took it to the area previously damaged by the exotic boar beast.

The little dog didn’t disappoint him; it seemed to understand his intentions. With just a few sniffs, it barked and led Bai Ziyue towards the West Slope.

Intrigued, Bai Ziyue followed along, soon crossing over a pile of rocks and climbing up the mountain.

Bai Ziyue quickly realized that the little dog could apparently smell the target’s scent from far away. They took a much more direct route than before and arrived outside the cave within minutes.

The little dog, having sensed no additional exotic beasts inside the cave, hesitated briefly before diving in. Bai Ziyue soon heard its excited barking.

Before long, Bai Ziyue saw the little dog emerge, holding a small stone fragment in its mouth. It carefully placed the stone aside, barking for Bai Ziyue to guard it, before darting back into the cave.

As Bai Ziyue’s gaze swept over the stone, a peculiar expression crossed his face.

Spirit dye stone!

This spirit dye stone was naturally much smaller than the one he had found earlier. It must have broken off from the larger stone due to the boar beast’s gnawing.

What surprised him was how quickly the little dog discovered the stone’s spiritual aura.

After three or five times, five or six spirit dye stones had appeared beside Bai Ziyue. The largest was the size of a child’s fist, while the smallest was no thicker than a thumb.

Picking the smallest spirit dye stone, the little dog held it in its mouth, using its teeth to carefully grind it while occasionally closing its eyes in apparent enjoyment, swallowing drool in large mouthfuls.

It continued grinding as if it intended to crush the spirit dye stone completely and swallow it.

Having tested the dog’s abilities, Bai Ziyue decided not to linger any longer. He was about to leave.

At that moment, the little dog rushed over, tugging at Bai Ziyue’s pant leg, barking at the spirit dye stones.

"You want me to take them with us?"

Seeing the little dog wag its tail furiously, Bai Ziyue chuckled helplessly, saying, "Once in my hands, they belong to me."

Upon hearing this, the little dog’s wagging tail stiffened. It quickly darted over to the spirit dye stones, eyes warily watching Bai Ziyue, as if afraid he’d snatch them away.

"You ungrateful creature," Bai Ziyue laughed and scolded, but he patiently helped it gather the spirit dye stones.

Seeing this, the little dog whimpered but didn’t stop him. Bai Ziyue couldn’t tell if it was out of fear or genuine trust that he wouldn’t steal its treasures.

Soon, the little dog seemed to forget about it, darting away again, occasionally stopping to bark at Bai Ziyue.

Bai Ziyue was momentarily taken aback and said, "You want me to follow you?"

Without hesitation, he followed.

Soon, Bai Ziyue saw the little dog stop at a spot, barking excitedly.

"Star Essence Grass!"

A look of surprise appeared on Bai Ziyue’s face.

Star Essence Grass was a spiritual herb on par with Beardless Grass and Hidden Spirit Flower. A single plant could fetch at least fifteen taels of silver, and those of higher quality were even more valuable.

Bai Ziyue stepped forward and carefully dug up the Star Essence Grass.

Seeing this, the little dog seemed excited and led Bai Ziyue through the forest once again.

A few hours later, Bai Ziyue already had over a dozen spiritual herbs in his hand, all of which were the type with spiritual properties that could be refined into spirit pills. Although their value varied, the combined value of the dozen or so spiritual materials was at least a hundred taels of silver, which was definitely considered a big harvest.

Of course, the process wasn’t without troubles.

Spiritual objects were often guarded by beasts or even exotic beasts. Although the little dog’s keen sense of smell could detect the aura of the spiritual objects from afar, its combat effectiveness was lacking. It could only bark from a distance, prompting Bai Ziyue to step in.

The dozen or so spiritual herbs in his possession were actually obtained after he took down five or six beasts and one newly evolved exotic beast.

"However, for me, it’s no big deal; instead, I consider it a double harvest."

Bai Ziyue glanced at the Soul Energy Points on his attribute panel, a faint smile appearing on his face.

Previously, his Soul Energy Points were significantly depleted after boosting his Martial Arts skill, leaving him with only 4991 points. By slaying two wild boar exotic beasts, he gained 1245 points, and now, after a whole day of activities, he had increased by another 785 points.

His Soul Energy Points immediately broke through seven thousand points again, reaching 7021 points.

...

In a room, several Martial Artists wearing Sunburst Gang disciple clothing sat facing each other.

The leader was a middle-aged man in tight robes, his gaze as sharp as lightning.

This man was named Huang Guangzhao, who, although only held a steward position in the Law Enforcement Hall, his actual strength far exceeded that of the hall’s chief; he was a true Inner Power Realm expert.

Below him were his five subordinates, four of whom were veterans at the Inner Cultivation Level, all formidable and experienced.

Only one, looking relatively young with fuzz on his lips, was a youth.

However, the youth’s tight outfit hinted at strong arms, showing he wasn’t weak. Although he hadn’t reached the Inner Cultivation Level, he had achieved External Forged Bone Marrow, even the Peak of External Forging.

"Ten days ago, Wu Tianfu, an Inner Sect Disciple of the gang, was found dead several miles outside the south gate of the city’s Cyan Mountain Gully.

From Wu Tianfu’s corpse, it was evident he fell under the Nine Seals Sect’s Nine Seals Palm.

Then, coincidentally, our men discovered a group of Nine Seals Sect disciples heading out the south gate that day and returning on the third day.

Therefore, we deduced that the perpetrators must be that group of Nine Seals Sect disciples.

Now, it’s been five days since we took on this task. Let’s discuss your findings during this period."

Huang Guangzhao’s gaze was as sharp as lightning as he looked at his subordinates.

"From the south city gate towards the north, one must pass through three crossroads. Qin Beast and I questioned some acquaintances and shopkeepers at each crossroad. They all reported seeing no one in Nine Seals Sect attire passing through those places.

So, we deduce they are still within the south city area controlled by our Sunburst Gang."

A man with a scar on his face calmly stated.

"We also inquired. Some gang disciples recognized that among the group, one was Leidong, an elite disciple of the Nine Seals Sect. We don’t know the identities of the others, but one was quite old, possibly a powerful steward of the Nine Seals Sect."

Anothe tall and lean Martial Artist followed up.

"Early today, Gongg and I happened to be checking near the city gate and saw a group of people leaving the city gate scatteredly. Though I don’t know Leidong and can’t confirm if he was among them, I recognize a short figure with two distinct swirls on his head; it was Xiong Zhengde, the Nine Seals Sect’s Transmission Master.

Since Xiong Zhengde is not weak, Gongg and I didn’t dare to confront them directly but saw them heading towards Cyan Mountain from a distance, so we hurried back."

At this moment, a burly man with a thick voice spoke up.

"Are you sure?"

Hearing this, Huang Guangzhao’s eyes lit up as he looked at the youth, Little Gongg.

"Yes, Xiong Zhengde was very vigilant. When we just exited the city gate, he already sensed us. If Brother Xu hadn’t pulled me aside, we would have been discovered."

Gongg Xinghuo quickly replied.

"Then hurry, let’s guard the city gate and wait for their return. We must find out why they have been entering and exiting frequently.

I have a feeling we’ll catch a big fish this time."

Huang Guangzhao said, looking excited, and then turned to Gongg Xinghuo, "Little Gongg, perhaps your opportunity to enter the Immortal Cultivation Clan as a Study Companion lies in this matter."

"I’ll do my best."

Gongg Xinghuo’s heart was stirred, his eyes igniting with passion, and he replied solemnly.

Obviously, Gongg Xinghuo, like Bai Ziyue, was one of the Ten Outstanding Disciples this time.

...

Due to the gains of the first day, in the following days, Bai Ziyue kept roaming the mountain forest with the little dog, not only harvesting a large pile of spiritual herbs and some spiritual objects but also seeing a significant boost in his Soul Energy Points, once again breaking through ten thousand points, reaching 12412 points.
