Although she found the current situation somewhat bizarre, Su Xi was not foolish enough to believe everything was too easy. She placed the Water Spirit Pearl into the space within her body.
Having done so, she looked toward the strange sky in the distance, her eyes filled with confusion.
She knew that the people of the Luo Yi Sect were usually arrogant and acted without scruples, but she didn't believe they would dare to harm their own disciples.
After all, the sect leaders of the major factions were all here at Tian Zhi Hen, and they would never stand by idly. If the matter were investigated, the Luo Yi Sect would surely bear the brunt of the consequences.
One sect could not possibly contend against four.
However, what perplexed Su Xi even more was that the recent battle fluctuations had not been weak. With the cultivation levels of the sect leaders of the major factions, they surely would have detected it easily.
Yet, no reaction had come for such a long time, which was clearly abnormal.
Such a strange situation could only mean that something she didn't know had happened at Tian Zhi Hen.
And these changes were very serious.
Since she had already come this far, although Su Xi knew there was danger ahead, she did not want to give up halfway.
Having come all this way, she had to figure things out, or else all the great price she had already paid would be in vain.
Moreover, she possessed a secret item that could ensure her safety.
With a firm resolve to investigate, Su Xi unhesitatingly flew towards the distance on her magic artifact.
As she approached the vicinity of Tian Zhi Hen, she saw a patrol of Luo Yi Sect members, arrogantly conducting their rounds. They looked as proud as kings surveying their mountain.
Su Xi pondered for a moment, then put away her flying artifact, applied an invisibility talisman, and headed towards the patrolling team.
The patrol members were very lax and completely failed to notice that the person at the very end had vanished.
"What are you doing?" The person Su Xi had grabbed looked completely bewildered.
They weren't the ones ambushing anyone, so what was happening that they themselves were being captured?
"Be quiet, and see who I am." Su Xi fumbled on her person and produced the token she had obtained from the Enforcement Alliance, tossing it over.
The person who had been grabbed clearly saw the token in Su Xi's hand and his tense heart instantly relaxed, his face showing relief.
He had thought he was captured by people from the Five Great Immortal Mountains and had been terrified, ready to beg for mercy.
It turned out to be just some companions. Was it necessary to make such a big fuss?
People could be scared to death.
Su Xi looked at the person who had suddenly stopped being nervous, blinking in confusion.
The relationship between the Five Great Immortal Mountains and the Enforcement Alliance was not good, but the abnormal behavior of this Luo Yi Sect disciple was indeed too strange.
"What are you doing, you scared me," the passerby, now certain that it was a companion, immediately stopped being nervous. He stood up from the ground and clapped Su Xi on the shoulder.
Next time, couldn't you avoid making such a big scene?
Su Xi, being taken the initiative from, did not get angry. Instead, she went along with it and said, "I just found some good things and wanted to share them with you. But it's not good for too many people to know, so I found you alone."
"Discovered another big prey?" The passerby looked at Su Xi with anticipation.
These days, they had gained a lot of good things by ambushing people from the Five Great Immortal Mountains. Having colluded in this manner, they had done it countless times, so he did not doubt the truth of Su Xi's words at all, and instead felt a faint sense of expectation.
Everyone wanted good things.
Su Xi pointed towards the distant woods and said, "I just saw people from Penglai Mountain coming this way. They probably have a lot of good things on them."
Upon hearing Su Xi's words, the passerby's face, full of anticipation, instantly disappeared, and he said dismissively, "I thought it was some major sect that was coming, but it turns out it's just these people."
Having spent so many years in the Five Great Immortal Mountains, he was well aware that Penglai Mountain was the poorest sect. Even if they could obtain the Fire Spirit Pearl, such a precious item was not something he could use.
As for other treasures, he simply didn't care about them.
Seeing the disdain in the passerby's eyes, Su Xi was so angry she almost attacked him directly.
Good heavens, a Foundation Establishment cultivator actually looked down on Penglai Mountain so much?
He should be sent to the ancestor master to be taught a lesson and have his memory jogged.
Forcing down the urge to act, Su Xi said mysteriously, "You're wrong, I just got this thing from someone from Penglai Mountain."
After speaking, Su Xi took out the Meteor God Sword and showed it off to the passerby.
Seeing the Meteor God Sword, the passerby's eyes instantly lit up, and he looked at Su Xi in disbelief, "Did you really get these things from those poor wretches from Penglai Mountain?"
An item used so casually as a bribe was a weapon of this caliber.
Was Penglai Mountain still the Penglai Mountain he remembered?
For the first time, he doubted if he was thinking too much.
"Who knows, maybe they got rich," Su Xi waved her hand, her expression feigning concern for the treasure.
Hearing Su Xi's words, the passerby could no longer suppress his excitement. He grabbed Su Xi and urged, "Good brother, let's hurry."
He was afraid that if they were too late, the good things would be taken by others.
"Okay," Su Xi smiled and led the passerby towards the small woods.
Although with her strength, she could easily subdue the passerby in front of her.
However, since they were already near Tian Zhi Hen, and there were many other patrollers nearby, any action would easily expose her whereabouts.
After all, there were many masters among these people.
Therefore, to be cautious, Su Xi naturally would not choose to take the risk.
Using the least amount of effort to achieve what she wanted was her principle.
The passerby and Su Xi walked into the small woods. Looking at the ordinary surroundings, the passerby turned and looked at Su Xi with confusion, "Where are the things you mentioned?"
There was nothing around, so why did she bring him here?
Upon hearing the passerby's question, Su Xi removed her disguise and smiled, "If you want treasures, first see who I am?"
When the passerby saw Su Xi's original appearance, his face instantly filled with terror.
He had seen Su Xi display her power in the Five Great Immortal Mountains before. It was just that before, he was a mere spectator, but this time, he had become a participant.
This complex feeling was hard for him to accept immediately.
What had happened?
After a moment of stunned silence, the passerby scratched his head and asked, "You're not from Penglai Mountain, when did you join the Enforcement Alliance?"
Hearing the passerby's words, Su Xi almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
Such a foolish antagonist, no wonder he could only be a passerby, not even worthy of a name.
"Stop spouting nonsense. Tell me what's happening here quickly, or I'll take your life." Su Xi took out the Meteor God Sword and stared coldly at the passerby, threatening him.
The passerby shrunk his neck and begged, "No, I'll tell you everything immediately."
Although he admitted it quickly, his hands were no less swift. He immediately used his communication talisman, intending to inform others of the situation.
However, his communication talisman showed no reaction at all.
Just as the passerby was wondering what had happened, Su Xi suddenly said coldly, "Are you curious why your communication talisman doesn't work?"
"Yes," the passerby nodded honestly, indicating that he really didn't know.
