Chapter 58 Sunset
The other wealthy families never expected that Chen Jiu would blatantly steal the magical herbs by pretending to be a descendant of the Zhao family.
They were all on guard against the giant tiger that was over twenty feet tall and the legendary Chen Banxian. No one could have imagined that a young man who claimed to be from Tianshui Zhao was wandering around nearby, and all their magical herbs and elixirs would disappear!
The wealthy family whose property had been robbed was furious, and shouts and even roars were heard one after another.
Unfortunately, Chen Jiu could no longer hear it because he had already arrived at the territory of the Zhao family.
The Zhao family is worthy of being ranked number one among the wealthy and powerful families in the world. Not only do they occupy more than ten spiritual fields, they also send a group of people to garrison each of them.
Moreover, they had learned from the last lesson and built watchtowers like arrow towers on the hilltops surrounding the spiritual field, and there were people on watch at all times.
Chen Jiu had just arrived a few miles north of the Zhao family's first spiritual field when he was discovered by the sentries outside.
These Zhao family members who had stayed in the same place for ten days or half a month naturally knew each other, and he was obviously not from here.
The young man on the sentry tower immediately shouted, "Who are you? What are you doing here? Don't you know that this is our Zhao family's territory?"
Chen Jiu pretended to shrink back and cupped his hands, saying, "I am Zhang Tingzhu of the Yuyang Zhang family. Our ancestors sent me here to ask if your Zhao family can send someone to our side to discuss the division of the land."
He was just talking nonsense. He didn't even know who the ancestor of the Zhang family in Yuyang was, and he didn't know whether they had come to Xinyu or not.
However, he knew there was an old saying that "When two countries are at war, they do not kill envoys."
Now the noble families have not yet torn their faces apart. He pretends to be a messenger sent by the ancestor of the Zhang family in Yuyang. They won't beat him up for no reason, right?
Sure enough, the young man on the sentry tower just snorted coldly, and then shouted sternly: "Get out!"
There are more than ten earthly immortals from the Zhao family now. They are discussing whether to fight each other and fight for the territory. Who the hell would discuss the division of territory with you!
After hearing this loud shout, Chen Jiu really ran away. He ran away and disappeared in a flash.
He was not pretending to be scared. He was caught stealing. Just now, when he used his spiritual sense to investigate in someone's house, he found an old man refining medicine.
I don't know what kind of magical power that guy used, but the flames in the furnace actually shot out several feet high, and the three or four foot long furnace was spinning rapidly under the control of his spiritual sense.
He is obviously an earthly immortal, and a very powerful one at that.
As soon as his spiritual sense probed over, the other person's eyelids moved. If he didn't run away quickly, it would be troublesome if the other person reacted.
Sure enough, not long after he left, the old man raised his hand in annoyance, extinguished the fire, and then poured the dregs in the furnace into the bronze tripod next to it.
Then his eyes widened with anger and he turned around to look in the direction where Chen Jiu's spiritual sense had just come from.
It was because Chen Jiu's spiritual sense swept over him that he ruined a whole furnace of pills!
"Who the hell is hanging around here? Have you seen it?"
A roar suddenly sounded in the mind of the young man on the sentry post.
He quickly bowed and said, "Ancestor, Zhang Tingzhu from the Yuyang Zhang family just came here."
Zhang Tingzhu?
This Ting generation is clearly the descendant of the Zhang family of Yuyang. How is it possible that their spiritual awareness can detect so far?
The old man asked in a rather strange tone, "Why is he coming here?"
The young man on the sentry tower quickly explained, "He said that the ancestor of the Yuyang Zhang family sent him to ask if our Zhao family could send someone to discuss the division of the territory. I knew that the ancestor was refining the elixir, so I told him to get lost."
Ancestor of the Yuyang Zhang family?
That old monster is here too!
The old man who was refining the elixir was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and sighed, then stood up and went to the medicine cabinet, ready to take out some magical herbs and elixirs to make another furnace.
There was no way. The Zhang family's gold-based skills were invincible in the world, and gold defeated wood. They, the Zhao family, generally did not provoke the Zhang family. What's more, the ancestor of the Yuyang Zhang family was ranked much higher than him on the immortal list. He didn't dare to cause trouble for them alone.
Forget it, refining the elixir is more important.
Shaking his head, he walked to the wall-like medicine cabinet, opened a drawer skillfully, and was about to reach in when he was stunned.
There is no elixir in it!
That's impossible. He has gathered here several hundred magical herbs and medicines that were collected by a dozen wealthy Zhao families a few days ago. He has at least ten plants of each kind that he needs to make pills. He only made one furnace, how could they be gone?
He extended his spiritual sense to take a look, and veins on his face suddenly popped out.
There wasn't a single magical herb or elixir left in the crowded drawers of this medicine cabinet!
He couldn't help but roared, "Zhang Dingjun, you are already hundreds or thousands , and you actually do such sneaky things!"
Chen Jiu didn't expect that this first place would successfully put the blame on the Zhang family of Yuyang.
However, he was very clear that all the wealthy families of the Zhao clan who came to the new domain would probably be furious, because he had stolen hundreds of magical herbs and elixirs in one go!
It is obvious that other wealthy families in the Zhao clan sent magical herbs and elixirs to this old man for him to make elixirs, but he stole them all. It would be strange if people didn't go crazy.
Next, he simply put away the medicine box and ran through the jungle like a gust of wind.
This time he didn't dare to talk to the other person anymore. He just ran to a place more than ten miles away from the other person's spiritual field, scanned it with his spiritual sense, stole it, and ran away.
If he was accidentally seen by someone, he would shout loudly from a distance: "Excuse me, excuse me, our Yuyang Zhang family ancestor has an urgent matter, please let me pass."
The Zhao clan's descendants were all confused by him. Wouldn't the ancestor of the Yuyang Zhang clan send someone who could fly when there was an emergency? Is it okay for you to sneak through our territory like this?
However, the Zhang family of Yuyang happened to be ranked second among the aristocratic families, and their gold-based skills just happened to counter their wood-based skills. These Zhao family disciples knew very well that their ancestor had urgent matters, and they dared not stop him.
He ran all the way like this, and at the beginning everything went relatively smoothly. People were puzzled and no one paid any attention to him.
However, the Zhao family reacted quickly, and the news of the theft of the magical herbs and elixirs spread soon.
At this moment, he was like a rat crossing the street. Wherever he ran, he would encounter members of the Zhao family who blocked him. The little men who were transformed from trees and grass were all over the entire Zhao family's territory.
All of the Zhao family's earthly immortals also chased after him. Those flying in the sky, crawling on the ground, and chasing in the jungle were all giant monsters transformed from towering trees. Behind him were screams, curses, and roars.
The Zhao family is worthy of being the number one super existence among the aristocratic families. When they get angry, they are so scary that people can be killed.
Chen Jiu was really frightened. This hornet's nest was really something that could not be poked. Fortunately, he was quick to see the opportunity. As soon as he found something wrong, he immediately spread his feet and activated his wind-based supernatural powers to escape frantically, running out of Zhao's territory like the wind.
However, this is not over yet. The ground is still shaking, the jungle is still roaring faintly, and Zhao's group of earthly immortals are still chasing him.
He looked back with lingering fear, then gritted his teeth and ran straight to the next spiritual field.
Whose territory is this in front?
He didn't ask last time, and of course, even if he asked, people might not tell him.
He only knew that anyone who dared to prey on such a huge force as the Zhao family must be quite capable. Even if he lured the bunch of earthly immortals chasing him over, it should be no problem for them to "help" him for a while.
Soon, he was less than ten miles away from the next spiritual field.
He extended his spiritual sense to take a look and almost fell down.
There was actually a palace-like carriage parked near the spiritual field in front!
The sheep monster pulling the cart was fine, he had seen too many strange and bizarre beasts pulling carts along the way. The key point was that there were actually two women in the palace, and the two women were sitting opposite each other, counting magical herbs and elixirs.
Is it okay to steal in front of people? Or should we just forget it?
He was just hesitating whether to run away directly, when the old woman in the palace raised her head and shouted at him: "Who are you, sneaking around?"
Damn, such a strong spiritual sense!
He really didn't expect that there was someone in this world who could train his spiritual consciousness to be so strong. Although this old woman's spiritual consciousness was far inferior to his, it was more than ten times stronger than that of an ordinary earthly immortal.
If he used his spiritual sense to communicate with others at this time, he would definitely be exposed.
He just used his spiritual sense to quickly scan the other person and they couldn't tell whether he was real or fake. If he directly used his spiritual sense to communicate with the other person, their spiritual senses would be equivalent to face to face, and the other person would definitely discover his abnormally powerful spiritual sense.
He quickly stopped and bowed, saying, "I am Zhao Chenggui from Tianshui. I have urgent business and I am passing by your precious place. I hope you will be tolerant."
Who are you fooling?
Patriarch Hongyun said directly to the girl in front of him: "This kid is weird. He showed up just as my spiritual sense swept over here. I'm afraid he wants to lure me away so that he can cooperate with the master behind him to steal our magical herbs. This is the same trick used by the thief who stole the magical herbs last time.
Hey, this guy ran away, Wanxia, hurry up, take the old sheep and head west to stop him. I want to see who stole our magical herbs last time."
Upon hearing this, the girl immediately jumped out of the palace, mounted the sheep's back, and shouted, "Old sheep, let's go."
The eighty or ninety-foot-tall sheep monster immediately ran wildly to the west.
I've already said that I'm a descendant of the Zhao family in Tianshui, and you still sent people to block me?
When Chen Jiu saw the huge sheep monster running towards him, he couldn't help but look conflicted.
If this was a man, he might not be merciful, but the problem is that this is a woman, and he doesn't want to hit a woman, especially a little girl.
He was just hesitating whether to take a detour, when the little girl on the goat demon's back suddenly soared into the sky like a red cloud and shouted, "Stop, little thief, where are you running to?"
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh", she flapped the huge iron wings covered with red silk on both sides, and iron feathers like sharp swords fell like raindrops.
Damn, this is not a little girl, but a grown-up girl!
He just glanced at her and didn't look closely. The girl had a hot body and a very hot look. She was so hot that people couldn't help but want to bleed from their noses at just one look at her.
This time, he couldn't do it anymore.
