Chapter 124: Troublemakers (2/2)

”Is there anyone else but us here?”

”Feng Yi City is located not far from here. There might be some people who come here and passed by,” his friend replied.

The leader looked towards Feng Yi City's direction then to the bloodstain on the ground. He instantly realized that whoever passed by this area had already killed the tiger beasts and took the woman's Spatial Ring.

However, it would be impossible to prove such thing unless they were here when it happened.

”This is troublesome,” the leader murmured.

”Leader…”

”Let's go back to the sect. Take our fellow junior disciple and we'll explain just as it is,” the leader said in deadpan tone. If they left their junior disciple's body here and didn't give any explanation, they would be chased until the end. But if they showed that the disciple died because of beasts, they might still able to get some lenience.

”But she's the daughter of the elder…”

The leader looked at the disciple with cold expression. ”If you wish to be runaway, feel free to go.”

The young man was stunned but then he bit his lips. Many of them didn't have good background and had to fight hard to be able to enter the sect back then. If this problem was connected to them, would it be possible for them to get out?

They wanted to cry.

If it was not because they needed a lot of resources to cultivate, they would have never want to stay in the sect when they encountered something like this. Being a runaway would be far worse than facing trials because if they ran away, they basically threw away their future.

The group of men had similar thoughts. They were not stupid but there was simply nothing they could do. Besides, with the woman's attitude, many disliked this woman and now, they were the one getting the blame.

What a terrible luck.

…

Lin Xiao and the others obviously didn't know what had happened to the woman and her background. They swiftly left and only paused to cook the tiger's meat for meal before continuing their journey again.

Along the way, they met with some other beasts but for beast rank 2 and lower, one person was more than enough to defeat them. Beast rank 3 was pretty rare, so they were lucky enough not to meet with any more.

”Shall we check the Spatial Ring now?” Wenren Yu asked before they rested for the night. They still need a few more hours to reach Ri Village, the location for their mission. However, they didn't want to travel in the middle of the night, so they chose to stop here.

Lin Xiao nodded. ”Sure. You can check now.”

”Alright.”

Taking the Spatial Ring, Wenren Yu didn't need to exert much effort to breach inside. Ownerless Spatial Ring could be bound with new owners as long as they have some Qi to do the job.

”Holy…”
