CHAPTER 1070: CHAPTER 1070: TRUE DISCIPLE HUO YIJIAN

At the end, Xiao Zheng and Long Qie both felt it was a pity — if only they had brought a large truck, they could have completely emptied the entire medicine pavilion.

Of course, that was just wishful thinking.

After working for a long time, they decided to leave. However, just as they stepped out of the medicine pavilion’s gate, a shrill voice suddenly shot up to the sky from deep within the pavilion.

Their faces instantly changed.

"Discovered?"

They exchanged glances, both revealing surprise in their eyes.

How could they have been discovered? Everyone in this medicine pavilion had already been subdued by Xiao Zheng!

"Most likely, there is some secret mechanism deep inside the medicine pavilion that we overlooked," Xiao Zheng guessed.

Now, clearly wasn’t the time to dwell on that, and both of them decisively dashed outward, knowing the most important thing now was to escape.

If surrounded by the numerous masters in Medicine King Valley, even though Xiao Zheng is a Martial Saint, it wouldn’t end well.

...

Meanwhile, within Medicine King Valley, numerous masters heard this shrill alarm.

The first true disciple, Huo Yijian, who was in charge of all defense in Medicine King Valley, was currently cultivating in his residence.

Upon hearing the sound, he jumped up instantly, eyes filled with shock, looking toward the direction of the medicine pavilion.

"The medicine pavilion has been robbed! This kind of signal comes from the mechanism deep within the pavilion. If someone takes the spiritual medicine without permission, it will trigger this mechanism."

Shock filled Huo Yijian’s eyes.

Since the alarm was raised from deep within the medicine pavilion rather than by its guardians, this meant one thing!

The person stealing the spiritual medicine had smoothly infiltrated Medicine King Valley and had subdued the elders and true disciples guarding the pavilion!

It was just a momentary oversight, failing to notice the mechanism deep within the pavilion, that led to their discovery.

"Damn it!"

Huo Yijian’s expression became somewhat fierce, "These incompetent fools let someone sneak into the depths of Medicine King Valley without even noticing!"

As the first true disciple in charge of all defense in Medicine King Valley, he would certainly face punishment after this incident.

His subordinates’ error was his fault.

"We must capture the thief who stole the medicine." Determination flashed in Huo Yijian’s eyes, and without a second thought, he shouted and rushed out, rousing all his subordinates.

Simultaneously, awakening everyone in Medicine King Valley to hunt down the medicine thief.

The order spread like a storm, shaking the entire Medicine King Valley.

Everyone was shocked.

"Damn, daring to cause chaos in Medicine King Valley, do you have a death wish?"

"Go, go, go catch him!"

’We must capture this person, and not only give him the most terrifying punishment, but also not let his supporters, sect, and loved ones escape.’

"..."

In an instant, almost everyone in Medicine King Valley was alarmed.

In the nighttime, shadows flickered.

Many true disciples, inner sect disciples, rushed out, shouting to catch the thief.

Meanwhile, Wang Chongyang, while healing Wang Zhong, heard the commotion outside, and a thought flashed through his mind.

"Could it be the Evil God’s doing?"

...

While Medicine King Valley was in chaos, Xiao Zheng and Long Qie had already passed through the main gate of Medicine King Valley, plunging into the boundless mountains.

Long Qie, hearing the noise behind them, couldn’t help but feel worried since Medicine King Valley was a martial arts sanctuary with countless masters.

"Mr. Xiao, let’s hurry." Long Qie said.

"Hmm."

Xiao Zheng nodded.

Thinking of today’s spoils, he felt a hidden thrill; these spiritual medicines were excellent materials for cultivation and would significantly elevate Sky Net’s strength.

The two instantly transformed into two lightning-like shadows, darting towards the outside of the mountain.

Meanwhile, Huo Yijian was already leading people to search everywhere in Medicine King Valley. Soon, he found the unconscious disciples at the main gate and, inside the pavilion, several elders and true disciples whose acupoints were sealed.

Huo Yijian couldn’t afford to get angry.

He checked along the way and quickly found some clues, deducing that the thief had already escaped from Medicine King Valley.

Without thinking, he led over ten true disciples, pursuing those tracks.

Swish!

However, midway through the chase, a gleam flashed in Huo Yijian’s eyes, and he suddenly halted.

"Senior Brother, what’s wrong?" asked one of Huo Yijian’s junior brothers.

"Hmph, the person stealing the medicine is extremely powerful. If we chase like this, we can’t match their speed; how could we possibly catch up?" Huo Yijian replied coldly.

Hearing this, the true disciple became somewhat anxious, "Then what should we do?"

Huo Yijian chuckled coldly, "In these mountains, the terrain is complex, and there are some dangerous paths that can be shortcuts. We’ll take those."

Upon hearing this, someone immediately colored.

Those so-called shortcuts can’t really be considered roads, and sometimes even Innate Masters find them difficult to traverse.

Moreover, it’s nighttime, and a single misstep into the abyss would mean death, even for a Great Grandmaster.

However, none of them dared to oppose.

Everyone knew that Huo Yijian was on the verge of exploding.

At this point, whoever angered him would suffer unimaginable consequences.

They then followed a shortcut and soon reached a pass through which anyone leaving the mountains had to go through.

During this process, incredibly, one Innate-level true disciple, due to negligence, fell into the abyss and was crushed to death.

...

Xiao Zheng and Long Qie, each carrying a huge bundle, sped along the mountain path.

Long Qie laughed, "Ahead is a mountain pass; once we go through it, we’ll have totally exited the mountains, and Medicine King Valley will never catch up."

Xiao Zheng nodded and cautioned, "But, even so, don’t be careless."

"Yes." Long Qie grinned, nodding.

As they talked, they arrived at the mountain pass.

Then, they suddenly halted, their faces becoming extremely grave.

Standing at the mountain pass were five or six figures, each exuding an immensely powerful aura!

"Hehehe, medicine thief, didn’t expect us to wait here, did you?" Huo Yijian smirked, "Let’s see how you try to run now!"

Xiao Zheng chuckled, "You think you few can stop me?"
