Now that you have betrayed the sect, who will still pamper you?.

"I never imagined they would actually find so many treasures after just one trip!"

“These are all our things, and now the Sword Sect has taken them all.”

Qingyu watched as the piles of treasures disappeared rapidly, her heart aching so much she could hardly breathe.

She now regrets her decision more and more. She shouldn't have been so stubborn as to go and cause trouble for Jiang Han that day. Instead, she should have gone to a place of inheritance to plunder treasures.

With the terrifying speed of the Sky-Piercing Azure Phoenix, as long as it is careful, it is certain that it will not be caught. Right now, it is probably happily cultivating in seclusion with a bunch of good treasures.

But now it's too late for her to say anything. One wrong step back then has left her locked up here, forced to watch helplessly as her precious treasure is divided up by the Sword Sect.

Not only her, but because of the karma from that time, all the members of the Wanling Yudao Sect who went down to the mortal realm this time were captured, except for Senior Brother Jun who escaped. This trip to the mortal realm can be described as a complete failure.

Qingyu looked dejected, but when she saw the Sword Sect disciples happily dividing the treasures, she gritted her teeth in anger.

These bandits really show no mercy whatsoever.

It's one thing to steal, but to actually share their treasures right in front of them is an utter disgrace!

Mu Yuan was similar to her, his red eyes fixed on the several high-grade wood-attribute materials, especially the top-grade Dao material Enlightenment Tea that Jiang Han had just taken away. He felt as if his soul was being stolen by that treasure.

This is a top-grade material that only exists in legends. You can only find a few pieces of it occasionally in those ancient ruins.

Even powerful beings at the Fusion Stage might not possess treasures of this caliber. If they did, they would treasure them and rarely show them to others, making them extremely precious.

But now, she watched helplessly as three palm-sized pieces of Enlightenment Tea leaves fell into Jiang Han's hands. The veins on the leaves were purple with gold, clearly indicating that they were top-quality tea.

If she could obtain even half a piece, she would be 80% certain that she could fully comprehend her own laws, and even 50% certain that she could go further and comprehend the more profound origin of the laws, touching the fundamental Dao.

Even if you don't use it yourself, you can offer it to a powerful being in exchange for their protection. It's even possible to become a disciple of a powerful being through this.

"Why, why am I not a member of the Sword Sect..."

Mu Yuan muttered to himself, his thoughts a complex and unfathomable mix.

If she were a disciple of the Sword Sect, with her talent, she might even be able to get a small amount of top-grade Enlightenment Tea, even if it's just a tiny bit the size of a fingernail.

Xiao Yue nodded in agreement: "I wonder if they still need more people. If possible, I'd like to serve as a member of the Sword Sect in the lower realm for a few days, clearing obstacles for Fellow Daoist Jiang, slaughtering enemies, and fighting for my Sword Sect..."

Qingyu rolled her eyes at him: "Senior brother, what you're saying is utter nonsense. Jiang Han is so powerful, what use would you be if you went?"

"If I could, I'd even be willing to let the Sky-Piercing Azure Phoenix serve as the Sword Sect's mount for a few days, but I don't know if they'd want that..."

The three of them stared at Jiang Han with longing in their eyes, their desire almost overflowing.

Especially when they saw the other party casually put away those two top-grade Dao materials, the three of them gasped and cried out in their hearts, "What a terrible thing to do!"

That's a top-grade Dao material, a truly top-grade Dao material! Its value is so high that it's hard to find even with ten thousand crystals, making it a world-shaking treasure.

That is a treasure that even powerful beings at the Integration Realm would have to spend a great deal of time and countless years to find.

But Jiang Han, that kid, didn't cherish this treasure at all. He just casually put it in a jade box, acting perfunctorily and showing no sense of importance whatsoever.

How could he be so casual... Does he think this treasure is commonplace?

The three of them really couldn't understand why Jiang Han was so different from others, and they couldn't understand why such a monstrous genius would appear in their generation.

To live in the same era as such people is simply the greatest tragedy for geniuses like them.

In his presence, it seemed that all the geniuses in the world could no longer be called geniuses.

"..."

Before long, after the Sword Sect members had divided the treasures, they left one person behind to guard the place and send a message to the Sword Sect headquarters to send someone to take over.

As for the rest of the Sword Sect members, they quickly set off for the Moon Shadow Pavilion's base.

The Moon Shadow Pavilion is located in the northwest of this place, where there is a vast green forest covering thousands of miles, with extremely rich wood-attribute spiritual energy, and specks of fluorescent light floating in the air.

When everyone arrived, a dark light barrier had appeared around the lush green forest, subtly blocking out the sunlight and making the forest appear gloomy.

The wind rustled through the trees, causing the branches and leaves to sway, but not a sound was heard. Coupled with the very dim light, the forest was both gloomy and quiet, appearing quite eerie.

Meng Qinghong led the group to a stop outside the forest, and looking at the dark light barrier, solemnly said:

"This is the Deathly Silent Domain set up by Xuan Moyu using the Ten Directions Seal, a high-grade True Spirit Treasure. It can not only shield the probing divine sense, but also devour all sounds. It also greatly enhances the Moon Shadow Pavilion's techniques. Anyone who gets caught in it will be extremely passive."

Everyone looked on in silence, their expressions somewhat solemn.

Zheng Hanyun said, "If we fight head-on, Moon Shadow Tower may not be our match, but if we are trapped in this dead silence domain and fight them, the balance of power will shift, and we may not be able to defeat them."

The Moon Shadow Pavilion's techniques excel in stealth and assassination. In such an environment, others' perception would be greatly limited, but Moon Shadow Pavilion disciples would not be affected; on the contrary, they would be enhanced.

In this way, Moon Shadow Tower can exert far greater power than usual in this forest.

Even if both sides are of the same cultivation level, under such circumstances, Moon Shadow Tower can kill the enemy with minimal cost, and may not even be injured himself.

Meng Qinghong nodded: "That's right. Xuan Moyu must have known about Jun Linyuan's defeat and wants to use this to force us to retreat on our own."

Zheng Hanyun said with some concern, "Forcing our way in would be the most unwise thing to do. Senior Brother, do you have a way to break the formation?"

The Moon Shadow Pavilion's actions indicate they are prepared for a desperate resistance; if they force their way in, casualties are likely inevitable.

Meng Qinghong shook his head and chuckled: "Why bother breaking the formation and going through all that trouble? Since they're willing to stay inside, let them stay inside."

"Now that the entire Wanling Yudao Sect has been captured and the Yueying Tower has retreated into hiding, many of the inheritances in this region have once again fallen into the hands of our sect."

"Next, you all just need to explore the inheritance; we can leave this little forest to them."
