"Master Sun, with a great enemy at hand, you cannot be stingy and hoard the spirit dicine! Share so with us, so we can go to Jubei City and et them head-on!"
"Indeed, is this paltry amount of common herbs ant to appease beggars?"
"Sun Yujie, we’ve been on good terms usually, surely you won’t push us to tear our relationships apart?"
The dicine King Valley, usually quiet and seldom visited, was now overcrowded and as noisy as a market.
These people were not very powerful, most were only at the Condensing Realm, and so hadn’t even reached that level, having rely just opened their veins. Yet, with their numbers, their courage swelled, disregarding dicine King Valley entirely.
"Master, what should we do? They are becoming increasingly unruly!"
A few female disciples of dicine King Valley were dashing about anxiously, their eyes full of worry.
Though these people were mostly re rabble, the strength of dicine King Valley was also weak, with only dozens of disciples at best. Even Sun Yujie, the Valley Master, was only at the Refining Spirit Realm and lacked much experience in fighting, having spent most of her energy tending spirit dicine.
If barricades fail, the Deserters would not need to co, as these people might loot the valley clean first.
"I will negotiate with them!"
Gritting her teeth, Sun Yujie strode to the front of the crowd and spoke solemnly, "Everyone, indeed I have grown so rare spirit dicines in dicine King Valley, but...you should also know, these dicines were gathered from relics on behalf of Wang Junze for research."
Pausing slightly, Sun Yujie continued, "dicine King Valley is just a minor sect and cannot stop you, but if Wang Junze and the Profound Moon Sword Sect hold us accountable, who can bear the consequences?"
The dicine King Valley is weak and cannot withstand such numbers, but bringing up Wang Junze’s na might scare them off?
Nowadays, Wang Junze is far beyond what he once was; his reputation nearly second only to Luo Qingxuan. Not just these rabble, even various sects and families of the Northern Domain must show so respect.
Normally, the nas Wang Junze and Profound Moon Sword Sect could indeed scare off many people, but now the situation is different.
Almost as soon as Sun Yujie’s words fell, soone in the crowd imdiately sneered, "Sun Yujie, stop trying to scare us with Wang Junze and the Profound Moon Sword Sect. With Deserters invading south, the Profound Moon Sword Sect folks are all heading to Jubei City, they don’t care about you."
"Moreover, are we not seeking dicine to fight against the Deserters?"
"Everyone here is risking their lives on the battlefield. Coming to borrow so spirit dicine to protect against injury, isn’t that right?"
"Yes! We’re all going to fight the Deserters, risking our lives, and don’t even deserve healing dicine?"
Suddenly, the crowd roared again.
"You are talking nonsense!"
Behind Sun Yujie, a plainly dressed girl turned bright red with anger and spat, "These spirit dicines belong to dicine King Valley, how does it concern you? You claim you’re preparing to fight Deserters, but clearly, you’re just trying to seize the opportunity to loot! You’re worse than Deserters!"
"Young girl, I advise you not to speak nonsense, otherwise...when we really decide to loot, you’ll be the one crying."
"Hahaha, don’t say it, but these ladies from dicine King Valley are quite pretty."
"There’s a real reminder for us, let’s just go all in...and have our way with them thoroughly!"
A few vulgar words imdiately stirred laughter among the crowd again, with many casting more wicked glances toward the disciples of dicine King Valley.
Wang Junze, Profound Moon Sword Sect, what nonsense is that!
Who knows how many will die in this battle, who’ll rember anyone then?
Better to seize the spirit dicines from dicine King Valley now, and if worse cos to worst, leave Northern Domain, what is there to fear?
Seeing these people entertained such wicked thoughts, Sun Yujie’s heart sank suddenly.
"The spirit dicines are right here, if you are not afraid of Wang Junze and Profound Moon Sword Sect, take them."
At this mont, Sun Yujie was truly scared. These spirit dicines, though precious, are re possessions; if she truly enrages them and harms her disciples, that would be the nightmare!
"Now you decide to give them? Too late!"
With a cold laugh, a vile-looking man from the crowd said disdainfully, "Everyone together, capture these dicine King Valley people, and after playing with them, leave no one alive. Even if Wang Junze had the power to shake the heavens, could he find us?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone couldn’t help but feel a streak of evil rising in their hearts!
If Sun Yujie hadn’t used Wang Junze and Profound Moon Sword Sect as threats, it would have been fine. Now that she did, it rather reminded them—since they’re stealing, might as well kill and silence witnesses, simplifying things thoroughly!
In an instant, including Sun Yujie, every disciple of dicine King Valley felt a surge of fear, instinctively retreating.
Yet...such weakness only whetted these people’s excitent.
"Charge, everyone charge together!"
A voice suddenly rang out from within the crowd, as if instantly triggering the deepest evil within everyone. Who struck first? No idea, but once soone led, the surrounding people seed to finally let go of their restraints, rushing at Sun Yujie and her fellows.
"Attack!"
With despair in her eyes, Sun Yujie’s True Qi surged, taking the lead against these people.
At this point, rather than fall into their hands, she’d rather die fighting with her disciples.
But against these people, the disciples of dicine King Valley are truly too weak; even choosing death might be a luxury.
Buzz!
At the mont of Sun Yujie and her disciples’ despair, a ribbon of sword light suddenly descended from the sky!
The sword was like a Profound Moon!
Looking from afar, it seed like a cold moon falling from the sky, landing in the valley, as terrifying Sword Qi carved a massive trench in the ground.
"Luo Qingxuan?!"
"Wang Junze!"
In an instant, Sun Yujie saw the figures that had arrived, and in her once hopeless gaze, an expression of joy and exhilaration of escaping death burst forth.
However, unlike the disciples of dicine King Valley, those who had planned to rob dicine King Valley suddenly felt a pang of fear in their hearts!
No!
No, what exactly is happening?
How did Luo Qingxuan and Wang Junze suddenly appear here?!
No, we were rely forcing Sun Yujie to hand over so spirit dicine, how did things spiral to this?!
The fear in their hearts was like a bucket of cold water poured over them, awakening everyone abruptly.
"Spare us!"
In an instant, at least dozens were so terrified by the sword that they slumped, kneeling directly to the ground.
