Chapter 380: Chapter 379: The Benefits of Not Killing Lin Wangchen

Returning to the cave abode.

Finally alone, Xie Jiuniang took out the Fusang Order and successfully integrated it together.

When the six pieces were merged, as she had thought, there was not the slightest change.

Indeed, having one more piece made no difference, and missing one was also inconsequential.

The four Great Demon Guards then arrived.

"Young Mistress, we have been waiting for you for a long time," She Mei took the lead in breaking the silence of the cave abode.

Xie Jiuniang said, "Last month when I returned to the Sect, I did not see you."

"We had not yet returned at that time."

"Is the matter with the Lin Family so troublesome?" Xie Jiuniang remembered that the Lin Family only had one Divinity Transformation expert, "Don’t tell me they also have a hidden Divinity Transformation."

"No, that’s not the case..."

Last time, Xie Jiuniang specifically instructed them to focus on the Lin Family in Yaoguang City.

The powerful beings she had arranged in secret to go there were from the Demon Emperor’s Palace in the Central Region. Previously, when the four Great Demon Guards sent a message back to the Demon Emperor’s Palace, the Demon Emperor arranged for two Divinity Transformation experts to come over. However, before they even met Xie Jiuniang, she had ordered them to raid the Lin Family.

Although it was to raid the Lin Family, some unexpected events subsequently occurred.

It was the experts from the border who had come looking for them.

Attack the Human forces under the guise of a Demon Tribe identity was already a particularly sensitive issue; fortunately, the Demon Tribe experts did not unleash a massacre in Yaoguang City, and only the Lin clan suffered losses of their possessions.

The Demon Tribe Divinity Transformation experts emphasized that it was a personal grudge, the cause being the Lin Family’s assassination attempt on their Young Master.

This could be deemed reasonable from both sides.

The Lin Family wanted to escalate the dispute to an ethnic conflict, but the Demon Tribe was not happy with this, as it was clearly a personal vendetta.

The matter provoked quite some debate.

During that time, Xie Jiuniang and Chaoyan were avoiding the pursuit of Nangong Dou.

In the end, the Demon Emperor interceded and negotiated with the border experts.

Not knowing the details of the negotiation, later on, the border experts suppressed the rioting Human Divinity Transformation experts, including those from several aristocratic families, while the Demon Emperor recalled the Demon Tribe Divinity Transformation experts back to the Central Region.

Only the four Great Demon Guards were left behind.

She Mei handed a Storage Bag to Xie Jiuniang.

Xie Jiuniang inspected it with her Divine Sense, "Are these things obtained from the Lin Family?"

"We only managed to preserve these; the majority was taken by the people from the border, claiming it was to be confiscated," She Mei honestly reported.

Xiong Zhun grinned and said, "This is like making the bridal gown for someone else."

"This is clearly bullying us, the people of the Demon Tribe," Lang Kai was holding back his anger.

Xie Jiuniang remembered the large amount of resources recently provided by Chaoruo, and, by comparison, these resources indeed seemed meager, which made her somewhat agree with Lang Kai.

But all one could say was that it was unlucky.

The relationship between the Demon Tribe and the Humans was delicate.

Being able to coexist peaceably was because both sides had a common enemy; if the crisis at the border were resolved, then perhaps it would lead to a war between the Demon Tribe and the Humans in the future.

This incident made Xie Jiuniang more cautious.

The power of the Demon Tribe must be borrowed with prudence.

Jian Lingyan whispered, "Dog master, why didn’t Master and Senior Uncle mention this matter?"

"They probably thought I already knew," she replied.

The two seniors did not mention it, perhaps out of consideration for her face. After all, with her identity as the little mistress of the Demon Emperor’s Palace, saying it had nothing to do with the Demon Tribe would be unbelievable to anyone.

After sending away the four Great Demon Guards.

Xie Jiuniang sorted out a batch of high-grade Spirit Fruits and Spirit Plants from the existing resources and went to find Dashan in the orchard, hoping he could help brew them into Monkey Wine, and then settled the outstanding debt owed to Dashan.

She also called Bai Mudan to deal with some miscellaneous affairs of Zhengyang Peak. She secretly sent a message to Bai Ruiting to keep a close watch on Medical Immortal Valley and to collect the latest information about it.

She also made a trip to the Sect Affairs Hall to check the items available for exchange; needless to say, there were no superior Soul-Nourishing Wood, not even common Soul-Nourishing Wood.

So Xie Jiuniang couldn’t be bothered to go to the other peaks to inquire.

Instead, she took the opportunity to pay close attention to Mo Chuan.

According to informed disciples, he was not in the Sect, having gone out to gain experience. As for the incident at the Southern Region auction, the news had not yet reached the Eastern Region. Xie Jiuniang was very curious as to whether he had escaped the pursuit.

Escaping from a Divinity Transformation pursuer was not so easy.

Unless one had the help of a noble person.

She had been pursued by Divinity Transformation beings several times and had only managed to escape safely due to someone intervening mid-chase...

It seemed in the blink of an eye, more than half a month had passed.

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse, a hundred miles away from Medical Immortal Valley.

On top of a mountain peak.

Clad in a jet-black cloak, Xie Jiuniang stood on a giant rock, her vestment robe fluttering in the wind.

Behind her were the four great Demon Guards.

The direction Xie Jiuniang was gazing at was precisely Medical Immortal Valley.

After a period of preparation, through various investigations and predictions of the Time Leaf, she finally confirmed that the most deeply hidden treasury of Medical Immortal Valley indeed contained a segment of top-quality Soul-Nourishing Wood.

It was something that a Mo Family ancestor had acquired in a Secret Realm a myriad years ago.

After death, the item was stored in the treasury, with an edict that only family members who made significant contributions to the clan were eligible to exchange for it, thereby successfully preventing a major internal conflict within the Mo Family.

Xie Jiuniang had initially not ruled out obtaining the Soul-Nourishing Wood through peaceful means, but having predicted the outcome over a hundred times to no avail, she had instead uncovered some secrets of Medical Immortal Valley...

"Young Master, are you sure we don’t need to follow?" She Mei was not very reassured.

Xie Jiuniang said, "No need, acting alone is more convenient."

No sooner had the words left her mouth than she leaped down the mountain peak with a lithe figure, like a swallow. Midair, a Broken Sword emerged and circled around her before flying down below.

She delicately touched it with the tips of her small feet.

Gently landing on the blade of the sword.

Before long, her petite form blended into the night.

The four great Demon Guards had been intently watching her, but in the next moment, they lost sight of her, unable to even find her scent.

Lang Kai exclaimed, "The Young Master’s hiding technique is still so formidable."

"If she wants to hide, we wouldn’t be able to find her," Jiu Lai mused.

She Mei asked, "Are we really going to let her venture out alone like this?"

"It’s better not to do more than necessary and end up making things worse," Xiong Zhun reminded.

Having been with the Young Master for so long, he was clear about one thing—her capabilities were far from insignificant. To this day, he had still not fully grasped the extent of her abilities.

Xie Jiuniang, riding the Flying Sword, inched closer to Medical Immortal Valley under the cover of night.

On the outskirts of Medical Immortal Valley.

Xie Jiuniang’s aura shifted, her body gradually becoming taller, the cloak and vestment robe altering with her changing shape.

The next moment, she had transformed into the appearance of Lin Wangchen.

Xie Jiuniang was in an unprecedentedly good mood, finally being able to take on his appearance to engage in her sneaky deeds.

Not killing Lin Wangchen had its advantages, and it showed right here.

There was a Maze Array around the perimeter of Medical Immortal Valley.

Xie Jiuniang, with the help of the Time Leaf, had already found a safe path.

Taking the incident in Yunmu City as an example, she became more cautious in her actions. Before stepping into the Maze Array, she used the Time Leaf to predict again, and the result was still safe.

She made a decisive move and stepped into the Maze Array.

The Sword Spirit was speechless.

The dog owner truly lived up to the name, consistently afraid of death.
