Chapter 54 Evacuation, Golden Hips and Silver Belly
With a deafening roar, the purple aura in front of the purple-robed man was shattered and annihilated in mid-air. Mu Ye's golden fist continued its undiminished speed, slamming into the purple-robed man's face and sending him crashing down.
"You've put on airs again, who gave you the courage?"
"If you act like that again, I'll send you flying, limb from limb!"
Looking at the purple-robed man who had fallen into the air and was dazed from the pain, Mu Ye said in a deep voice.
But as if he had thought of something, Mu Ye shook the sack in his hand, and various seeds flew out and landed on the man in purple robes.
"Pick up the seeds! Pick up the seeds!"
Seeing the still bewildered man in purple robes, Mu Ye gave a low shout, which startled the man into snapping out of his daze. He quickly put away the seeds.
"Remember to plant these spiritual herbs well, so I can come back to visit again next time."
After saying that, Makino transformed into a streak of light and rushed towards the mountain wall in the opposite direction from where he had come in. At that intact mountain wall, as Makino punched out, a large hole appeared, and a deep tunnel had been dug out inside.
After rushing in, Makino's powerful soul force surged, and he repeatedly slammed his hands against the tunnel walls behind him. As a result, the originally solid tunnel collapsed, and Makino's figure gradually disappeared.
He had made thorough preparations before he came, digging two tunnels, one for entry and the other for evacuation in the opposite direction.
Furthermore, the tunnel used for evacuation was not built on the ground outside the valley, but directly on the valley wall. This allowed them to evade the pursuit of the Tang Clan outside the valley above and then evacuate safely.
"Damn it! What does this guy take me for? A serf on the plantation?!"
The man in purple robes touched his swollen face and realized what had happened. His eyes blazed with fury, and he roared.
Upon hearing the voice transmission from below, the purple-robed man took a deep breath to suppress his anger and used his soul power to reduce the swelling on his face before slowly returning to the vicinity of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
"How is Brother Luo?"
A woman dressed in red came forward and asked a question. Surrounding her were intense flames, which were none other than the transformation of the fiery apricot blossom.
Once a soul beast breaks through 200,000 years and reaches the level of a ferocious beast, it can gather energy to transform into human form, just like Emperor Tianxiong Jun.
"No, I was slightly out of my element and it escaped."
The man in purple robes touched his nose and said without blushing.
Liehuo Xingjiao frowned and said in a deep voice.
"If those four hadn't been at the crucial juncture of breaking through two hundred thousand years, the six of us working together would have ensured their deaths!"
She didn't chase after them with the purple-robed man because she was afraid he would turn back and disturb the four immortal herbs. Those four herbs were only two or three years away from breaking through two hundred thousand years, and they absolutely could not be affected by external factors.
"But it's alright. When I punched that thug in the face, I got my pollen on him. Now, we can leave the search to the Tang Clan. He definitely won't get away!"
The man in purple narrowed his eyes slightly, a sharp glint in them.
"This is also a dereliction of duty on the part of the Tang Clan. They actually let such people in. It would be terrible if word got out about our situation."
Liehuo Xingjiaoshu said with some anger.
"Brother Luo, what is that soul power wrapped around your hand?"
At this moment, a large pink flower beside it spoke up, and it was none other than the Fragrant Silk Fairy.
"It was that thief who left behind the seeds of the spiritual herb."
The man in purple robes gritted his teeth at the mention of this matter.
"Hey, this person is actually pretty good, at least they know to leave behind seeds."
Youyou asked in surprise, but noticing the unfriendly looks from the two people beside her, she quickly added.
"Don't worry too much, you two. We'll see what Tang Sect has to say later."
At that moment, the clouds above suddenly churned, and the man in purple robes frowned as he looked at the four figures falling from the sky.
The leader was a chubby middle-aged man with a protruding belly and a pert buttocks. His broad face always wore a smile, and he wore black-rimmed glasses, but a shrewd glint would occasionally flash in his eyes.
"Master Hu, you've arrived just in time."
Upon seeing the four people, Liehuo Xingjiao spoke first, taking the initiative.
The middle-aged man's status was clearly not low; the Tang Clan was divided into inner and outer sects. The outer sect had nine ranks, all named after stewards.
The inner sect is divided into three halls: the Power Hall, the Agility Hall, and the Imperial Hall, as well as the Law Enforcement Hall and the Elder Hall. Below them are disciples and stewards, and above them are sect leaders and hall masters. The hall master is the highest level besides the palace master.
"Fiery Apricot Blossom, you're not allowed to speak to our Master Hu like that."
One of the titled Douluo standing next to Master Hu stepped forward and said in a cold voice.
"Hey! Little Qi, you can't say that. This time, the fault lies with our Tang Sect. After all, it was our Tang Sect that failed to detect the thief. But then again, Brother Luo, with so many hundred-thousand-year-old soul beasts, how could you let that thief get away?"
Master Hu pressed down on the shoulder of the titled Douluo and said to the purple-robed man with a smile, his words full of regret.
"Hmph, as expected of the Smiling Douluo, his smile is truly barbed."
The man in purple robes snorted softly. How could he not tell that Master Hu was subtly mocking their weakness?
This middle-aged man was none other than Hu Jie, the Smiling Douluo, known as the Golden Hips and Silver Belly. He had a cultivation level of 98 and was one of the top experts in the world. His martial soul, as his title suggests, was a part of his body.
"Brother Luo, you must understand that our relationship with you is one of mutual benefit and symbiosis. We provide you with protection, and you provide our Tang Clan with spiritual herbs. However, in recent decades, the spiritual herbs you provide have been decreasing. Our Tang Clan has only made this one mistake."
Hu Jie smiled knowingly and said.
"We can protect our territory even without your Tang Clan."
Liehuo Xingjiao was fiery and easily angered, and immediately retorted defiantly.
"So, you're saying you're even stronger than the Star Dou Great Forest, which has ten ferocious beasts? That's incredible!"
Hu Jie said with a smile.
"Alright, Shushu was just angry for a moment, Hall Master Hu, you don't need to take it seriously. We still have a harmonious relationship with the Tang Clan. This is my pollen, which can be used to track the thief. It will be able to sense him within five kilometers. I will need to trouble Hall Master Hu for the rest of the time."
After all, if this gets out, it probably won't be good for either us or the Tang Clan.
Seeing that Liehuo Xingjiao was speechless, the man in the purple robe took the initiative to change the subject to the important matter, stop the bickering, and took out his pollen.
"Brother Luo, you are indeed a wise man. I'll take care of this matter. You and the three sect leaders describe the thief's appearance and fighting style in detail, and I will go and investigate first."
Hu Jie took the pollen, gave some instructions, and then ascended into the air, heading towards the collapsed tunnel.
"That person wore a black hooded mask, four-character battle armor, and..."
Immediately, the purple-robed man began to explain, because he had come to realize through this incident that they had stayed here for too long, while powerful human beings from the outside world were as numerous as carp crossing a river, and they truly needed the Tang Sect.
"Hmm? This familiar feeling..."
Hu Jie looked at the collapsed tunnel, his brows furrowing slightly. Suddenly, he felt a sense of déjà vu. Then, with a wave of his hand, he turned over the collapsed rubble one by one and slowly walked inside.
Two minutes later, Hu Jie suddenly stopped, reached out and pulled a piece of gravel into his hand. Suddenly, the soul power in Hu Jie's body began to circulate along a unique route, and a rich surge of blood energy rose up.
Then, a strange scene appeared: a wisp of residual dark red blood energy slowly floated out from the broken stone. If Hu Jie had arrived a little later, it would have completely dissipated.
Hu Jie caught the wisp of dark red blood in his hand, a slight smile playing on his lips, his black-rimmed glasses reflecting the light, and a sharp glint in his eyes.
"So that's why it felt so familiar... It really is you..."
