Yiming looked at Song Jinxiu's receding back and sighed.

She is now a fifth-rank loyal general, but she has let the young lady down, and she feels guilty about using this loyalty.

They climbed up from Conglan Mountain east of Wuti Village, just missing Song Jinxiu.

Later, her subordinates reported that outsiders had come to Wuti Village again, so she returned to check. If the remnants of the outsiders came back, she would kill them.

But Song Jinxiu moved too quickly. When she came back, she only saw their backs as they rode away.

Song Jinxiu came and went in a hurry, but gained a lot.

Yiming couldn't leave, because there was a Shennong Herb Hall in Wuti Village in Xuantian Town.

Baihua Valley was massacred overnight, and Shennong Baicaotang in Xuantian Town was not spared.

This time even the Xuantian Sect was alarmed.

Such a major case had occurred on the territory of their Xuantian Sect. Regardless of the reason, this was a slap in their face and they would never let it go.

What made them even more angry was that the bandit not only killed people but also robbed them.

Not only was Baicaotang completely looted, but even Baihua Valley was turned upside down, it was a horrifying scene.

Not to mention the thousand-year-old ginkgo trees and exotic flowers and plants, the Wuti Mountain especially collapsed overnight. How did this happen?

Except for the leader, all seven elders of Xuantian Sect gathered together.

Xuantian Sect has seven main peaks, one, two, three, four, five, six, and seven correspond to gold, wood, water, fire, earth, thunder, and wind.

Together with the outer sect Guigu, they are the eight pillars of Xuantian Sect.

As an outer sect elder, Guigu Yu was talking about her own discoveries, because Baihua Valley had always been protected by her subordinates.

When something happened in Baihua Valley, she was the first to be notified and went to check it out.

Although the old woman Guigu was only in her fifties, she had a head full of white hair. Because she had been dealing with poisonous insects and weeds for many years, her face had an abnormal blue color.

The old woman from Guigu said, “Twenty years ago, I discovered the Sun Stone at the foot of Wuti Mountain.”

"What?" The elders sat up straight suddenly.

"Since it was discovered twenty years ago, why did you conceal it?" The master of the First Peak, Jin Feng, had a bad temper and questioned immediately.

"Yes, you have kept it a secret for twenty years. Do you, the outer sect Guigu, still want to dominate it?" The master of the second peak, Danmu Peak, and the Guigu woman have always been at odds.

The two men were from the same school, one was an alchemist and the other was good at poisons.

The old woman from Guigu said expressionlessly, "Back then, when I was poisoned and unable to move, I invited you to Guigu to talk. It was to discuss this matter. But you didn't give me the chance, did you?"

The elders looked at each other, speechless.

"You can't blame us. When your Ghost Valley was filled with poisonous smoke, we couldn't get in at all. But we didn't stand idly by. Wasn't little Zi Yu rescued by us together?" said the Lord of Shuifeng.

It’s not that I can’t get in. If I’m willing to sacrifice some of my strength, I can still get in and rescue Guiguyi.

But they also had concerns at the time, that is, they were afraid that the poison in her body would be contagious. Once infected, Guiguyi could survive, but they might not be able to survive!

If there is not that much friendship, who would risk their life for whom?

The old woman from Guigu glanced at them and said, "So, this is why I am still willing to talk to you guys."

"Alright, Ah Hua, since we raised Tzuyu, let's let bygones be bygones. You mentioned the Sunstone today, but what happened?"

The old woman from Guigu snorted, "Humph! I originally agreed to let the remnants of the Wosha Kingdom stay in Wuti Valley so that they could guard the Sun Stone.

But now that Wuti Village has been massacred and Wuti Mountain has collapsed, I suspect someone has stolen the Sun Stone."

Stealing the Sunstone is possible, but how much could be stolen to cause a mountain to collapse and the ground to sink overnight? Is this even possible?

In an inn, Song Jinxiu finally had time to enter the space to check her harvest. Looking at the extra mountain of coal in the space, she was dumbfounded.

She looked at the treasure-hunting rat Junjun and asked seriously, "Are you sure that the collapse of Wuti Mountain won't hurt innocent people?"

The whole mountain collapsed, which is no less than an earthquake. It would be bad if no one was hurt.

"Am I such an unreliable divine beast? I took the best sun stone and only the core of the stone, so the mountain also slid down slowly and steadily. Don't worry, the small animals on it can't hurt them."

Sunstone? Isn't it just coal? Such a fancy name.

Song Jinxiu thought about it carefully and realized that she didn't feel any earth-shaking at that time.

"Next time you do something like this, you must get my consent, okay?"

But this coal is really good. She was thinking of refining some pills, and now she has the fuel.

The two rested for one night at the inn, and the next day they set off on their journey without stopping, finally arriving back in Kunzhou three days later. The round trip took exactly ten days.

As soon as I entered the newly bought house, I found that the atmosphere was not right.

"Li Cheng, what happened?"

Li Cheng was delighted when he heard her voice, but then he lowered his head and remained silent.

Song Jinxiu's heart trembled, "But Jinfang is in trouble again?"

"She's fine, you're the one who's in trouble!"

A cold voice came, and Song Jinxiu couldn't help but shudder.

She quickly turned around, showing a look of surprise and asked: "Brother? Why are you here?"

Song Chunsheng glared at her and said, "If I hadn't come, I wouldn't have known that you had the ability to fly into the sky and into the earth. Tell me, where have you been these days?"

"I……"

Song Jinxiu looked at her sister who came running over after hearing her voice. She asked with her eyes, "When did you come?"

How to tell this lie depends on how much your brother knows.

But when Xiao Jinfang saw her, she suddenly snorted and turned her head away, ignoring her.

Song Jinxiu looked at Su Chuan and Nanny Lin.

Su Chuan is an expressionless little girl, while Nanny Lin looks at her nose with her eyes and her heart with her nose, like an old monk in meditation.

Song Jinxiu looked at Yingchun again, and Yingchun winked at her anxiously. Unfortunately, she didn't understand.

Song Chunsheng glared at Yingchun, scaring her so much that she quickly lowered her head: Miss, you're on your own, this is all I can help you with.

Song Chunsheng: "I went to the prefectural government office, and Lord Liu said he had never seen you at all.

I went to Kunshan Academy, and my uncle said you left that same day. We almost turned the entire city upside down. Tell me, where did you go?

All escape routes were blocked, and Song Jinxiu had no idea how to come up with this lie.

But she knew that she must never tell anyone that she had been to Wuti Village.

Suddenly, her eyes rolled and she said with a smug look, "Brother, this is a secret. I can only tell you one person."

Song Chunsheng glanced at her and said, "Okay, come with me into the house."

Everyone: The eldest lady must have done it on purpose. Didn’t we just help her hide it?

The problem is, aren't they worried too? They didn't take it seriously for a day or two, but when five or six days passed and there was no news from the eldest daughter, how could they not be worried? The second daughter was so anxious that she cried.

Song Jinxiu followed her brother into the house, and after he sat down, she poured him tea in a servile manner.

Then he pulled out a piece of coal from his pouch. "Brother, do you recognize this?"

Song Chunsheng took it and looked at it. It was shiny black and his hands were also stained black. Why did it look so much like the burning stone that the third grandfather had mentioned?

He asked tentatively, "But burning stone?"

Burning stone? That's a pretty accurate term.

Song Jinxiu nodded and said, "It's the burning stone, right? Some people also say it's the sun stone."

Is this really a burning stone?

Song Chunsheng suddenly became serious.

"It is said that the best burning stone is the sun stone. Where did you get it? These things are controlled by the government. We ordinary people can't afford them."
