C1312 Misunderstanding a Play
The moment the earth python attacked, the aura of the first level of the Awakening Realm completely erupted. When the remaining martial artists saw that there was actually a martial artist of the first level of the Awakening Realm intervening, their faces revealed expressions of terror.
The moment the man in blue armor who was sent flying by the earth python earlier returned, he saw the scene earlier and his expression became extremely solemn.
"Blood Moon Sect's Young Sect Master? Why didn't the Blood Moon Sect's Young Sect Master act together with the main force of the Blood Moon Sect? Damn it!" The man gritted his teeth and said.
As he spoke, the man's gaze was fixed on Ye Hongtian. Ye Hongtian, who had keen senses, naturally sensed this gaze and turned to look at the man.
Seeing Ye Hongtian looking at him, the man hurriedly put away the fierce look on his face and flew towards Ye Hongtian with a serious expression.
He stopped two feet in front of Ye Hongtian and cupped his fists, bowing to Ye Hongtian. He tried his best to make Ye Hongtian feel sincere. Then he took a deep breath and started to talk to Ye Hongtian.
"You must be the Blood Moon Sect's Young Master, Ye Hongtian. I am Huaiyu Chamber of Commerce's Hongji. I am sorry that I didn't recognize you at the first moment."
After making this simple self-introduction, the man named Hongji slowly raised his head and took out a jade slip that could be probed with soul power. He threw it to Ye Hongtian.
When Ye Hongtian caught the jade slip, Hongji said, "Lord Ye, I hope you can uphold justice for us and let Zheng Xie return the restraining spirit jade to our Huaiyu Trading Company."
Ye Hong Tian, who had just received the jade slip, was stunned when he heard this. He sent his soul force into the jade slip and after understanding the information in the jade slip, Ye Hong Tian's expression became gloomy.
He tossed the jade slip back to Hong Ji and used a voice transmission to tell Tu Mang to stop. Then, he approached Hong Ji and gave him an apologetic smile.
"I didn't know the exact situation at first. I thought you were going to kill me and steal my treasures. I'm really sorry for killing your people by mistake. I'll go talk to Brother Zheng and ask him to return the Spirit Restraining Jade to you. Even if he doesn't want to return the Spirit Restraining Jade, I won't interfere in the matters between you two anymore. " Ye Hong Tian said.
With that, Ye Hongtian turned around and strode towards Zheng Xie. After stopping in front of Zheng Xie, he glared fiercely at Zheng Xie.
"Brother Zheng! I really didn't expect you to do something like that. I've been scammed by you." Ye Hong Tian said.
Seeing that Ye Hongtian had already understood the situation, Zheng Xie smiled awkwardly. Then he scratched his head and said, "I didn't think that Hongji would be so smart to choose to explain the situation to you. Now, my plan to get you to help me solve their problem is a waste. What a pity. "
When Zheng Xie said this, Ye Hong Tian immediately rolled his eyes at Zheng Xie. As he walked away, he said, "I'm convinced of you. Hurry up and return the Spirit Inhibition Jade to others. If you don't return them, I won't be able to protect you. Just wait and be beaten up by Hong Ji and the others until you're turned into a meat patty! "
Since Ye Hongtian had left, the Earth Python and Zi Ming naturally wouldn't stay behind. They followed closely behind Ye Hongtian. Very quickly, the situation changed into several half-step Awakened ones from the Huaiyu Chamber of Commerce surrounding Zheng Xie and the young man.
Zheng Xie had lost his life for a piece of Restraining Spirit Jade. As the son of the Maple Chamber of Commerce's president, Zheng Xie... Naturally, the future president of the Maple Chamber of Commerce wouldn't do such a money-losing business. Although it was a pity, he still decisively returned the Restraining Spirit Jade to Hong Ji.
After handing the Spirit Restraining Jade to Hong Ji, Zheng Xie revealed an evil smile to Hong Ji. His lips moved a few times before he turned around and called out to the young man following him. He then went to chase after Ye Hong Tian.
Seeing Zheng Xie swaggering away, Hong Ji's expression was somewhat gloomy. He tightly gripped the Spirit Restraining Jade in his hand, and fury was brewing in his eyes.
After standing in place for a moment, Hong Ji put away the Yan Jade in his Cosmos Sack and ordered the others to take the martial artist's corpse that had been instantly killed by the earth python and quickly leave this place.
Three miles away from the Origin Forest, Ye Hongtian was leaning against a tree. When he saw Zheng Xie and the youth walk over, Ye Hongtian welcomed them.
"Done?" Ye Hongtian asked.
Zheng Xie replied with a smile, "Since I'm already here, of course it's solved. I don't want them to go crazy and kill me."
"You should be glad that they didn't go crazy. That Spirit Restraining Jade isn't particularly precious either. You were able to chase after me for so long for a Spirit Restraining Jade. Hmph. They must have found an opportunity to give you the Restraining Spirit Jade on purpose, right? " Ye Hong Tian asked again.
Hearing Ye Hong Tian's question, Zheng Xie revealed a surprised expression and then smiled bitterly.
"They did find an opportunity to give me the restraining spirit jade. I originally thought that since they wanted to kill me... It doesn't matter if you don't return the suppressor spirit jade to them. However, with your acting... I lost that Spirit Restraining Jade. " These words carried a hint of resentment as they spoke.
The resentful tone, coupled with Zheng Xie's extremely sinister appearance, made Ye Hong Tian unable to help but shiver when he saw it.
Seeing Ye Hongtian's shivering movements, Zheng Xie smiled happily. Then, he took out a sound transmission talisman and informed those Maple City martial practitioners who needed to be escorted out of the Origin Forest to gather.
After waiting here for an hour or so, all the Maple City martial practitioners who needed to be escorted had arrived. Then, they set off for the Bai Family.
The Forest of Origin was the closest natural cultivation ground to the Bai Family. However, even with the first level of the Awakening Realm, it would still take an entire day to reach the Bai Family.1
Moreover, since most of the Maple City warriors who needed to be escorted were at the ninth level of the Divine Essence Realm, Ye Hong Tian and the others tried their best to slow down in order to take care of these people.
At their current speed, if they did not rest, they would probably reach the Bai family in five days. At first, there was nothing wrong with advancing at this speed, but the problem came the next night. Some of the Maple City warriors began to complain.
"I really don't understand why I have to bring these burdens at the ninth level of the Divine Essence Realm. It's been almost two days since we set off from the Origin Forest, and we've only walked this little distance."
"The Bai Family Martial Meeting only allows Divine Essence Realm martial artists to participate, but it's actually a battlefield for peak Divine Essence Realm martial artists. Even if a ninth level Divine Essence Realm martial artist were to go, they would only be instantly killed by others. I think the few of you should set off from here and return to Maple City. Don't slow down the speed of our entire team. "
" Although the Bai Family Martial Meeting will start in nearly half a month, I still want to go to White City as soon as possible to strengthen fellow Daoists of the same generation. I also suggest that the few of you set off and return to Maple City now. "
Under the complaints of the peak Divine Essence Realm martial artists, the expressions of those ninth level Divine Essence Realm martial artists were extremely downcast, and the atmosphere was somewhat oppressive.
Ye Hong Tian, Zi Ming, and the Earth Python did not get too close to Maple City's group, so they did not know what was going on. When he sensed that the atmosphere in the team was not right, he looked over there and saw a peak Divine Essence Realm martial artist lifting his leg and placing it on the abdomen of a ninth level Divine Essence Realm martial artist.
