Chapter 389: A Minor Conflict

Translator: Reverie_ Editor: Kurisu

This was a medicine harvesting team—seven martial artists as guards along with twelve medicinal farmers who carried bamboo baskets on their backs. There was also a beautiful red-clothed woman who looked like their employer; there were twenty people in total.

Such a medicine harvesting team in the Dark Demon Forest could only be considered a small-scale team; there were hundred- and even thousand-people medicine harvesting teams here as well.

Ling Han’s gaze swept by. The seven guards were at the Spiritual Ocean Tier—quite an impressive strength. The one who invitated him was a forty year-old brawny man, tall and st.u.r.dy, with arms thicker than Ling Han’s waist and shockingly well-defined muscles.

Without waiting for Ling Han to reply, somewhat displeased, the red-clothed woman spoke, “Guard Wu, if you want to invite someone into the team, why not seek for my opinion first?”

The brawny man laughed loudly and said, “It was already agreed upon when we left that we were going to recruit ten guards, and now we’ve only recruited seven. I, as the guard squad captain, naturally have the right to recruit people.”

“So the other people aren’t qualified,” the red-clothed woman said.

“He qualifies.” The brawny man pointed at Ling Han. “The Fifth layer of the Spiritual Ocean Tier, is that not enough?”

What, this young man was actually at the fifth layer of the Spiritual Ocean Tier?

The other people were shocked, feeling that Ling Han was just too young.

“Lady Ding, let him join the team.”

“Yeah, the fifth layer of the Spiritual Ocean Tier isn’t weak.”

The other guards all began to urge. Although the fifth layer of the Spiritual Ocean Tier certainly wasn’t high in terms of cultivation, entering this level in the teens clearly meant something… What? The fact that Ling Han’s background was extremely remarkable!

Although it was an extremely chaotic place, if there was someone of the Winter Moon Sect or the Half Moon Sect around, then it could be life-saving at key moments. Thus, these people naturally wouldn’t refuse Ling Han joining and adding a insurance to their lives.

The red-clothed woman pondered, and said, “Alright, but Guard Wu, you have to be responsible for keeping him out of trouble.”

“Deal!” The brawn man laughed as he nodded, then cracked a smile at Ling Han and said, “Little brother, how about it? One day for one Origin Crystal, you won’t encounter such a good job everyday!”

Spiritual Ocean Tier warriors could only refine one Origin Crystal per month, and now obtaining one per day… the treatment was certainly not bad.

Ling Han broke into laughter and said, “You guys have been speaking of your own accord. I don’t remember saying that I wanted to join you guys, right?

“Hm, you’ve got an objection?” The red-clothed woman wasn’t too happy to begin with; hearing that Ling Han refused to join the team, she appeared even more displeased all of a sudden. “Such great nerve, slap him!”

Ling Han shook his head. He felt that he was truly unjustly attacked while walking down the road properly without provoking anyone—how did misfortune come upon him? Could he really have a ‘troublesome const.i.tution,’ attracting trouble wherever he went?

“You think I’m easy to bully?” He was angered and raised his hand, las.h.i.+ng towards the red-clothed woman.

“Stop!” The seven guards shouted at once and intervened one after another, blocking Ling Han.

These people’s tiers had highs and lows, but the worst was at the sixth layer and the strongest at the ninth layer of the Spiritual Ocean Tier. However, none of them had battle prowess surpa.s.sing their own tier—after all, most people were very ordinary.

Ling Han smiled lightly as sword intent instantly burst forth. Xiu, xiu, xiu, xiu, seven flashes of Sword Qi shot out, slicing towards the seven guards.

What battle prowess did he have? When he was at the first layer of the Spiritual Ocean Tier, he had sixteen stars, and now it rocketed to twenty stars! Surpa.s.sing the other party’s strongest person by eleven stars of battle prowess, this was definitely overwhelming; the seven guards struck by the seven flashes of Sword Qi were sent flying at the same time.

Fortunately, Ling Han held back, merely opening a small wound on their chests; otherwise, this attack would’ve taken their lives.

Pa , the red-clothed woman was slapped right on the face, whipping out three of her teeth.
