Chapter 182

The collapse of Demon Peak.

You XiaoMo stands outside those wide open doorways and examines the lofts. He discovers that these lofts seem to be where martial artists practice. Some lofts are so simple and bare that there is only a bed. Some of the floors are in a complete mess with scattered weapons and combat techniques.

In order to pass off as a qualified treasure hunter, You XiaoMo prepares a magic bag and collects everything in the lofts, good and bad. He then moves on to the next loft. As for the tightly closed stone rooms, he doesn’t dare to touch them for now. Who knows if some living thing might suddenly rush out from inside.

Just when You XiaoMo finishes clearing out the tenth loft, he suddenly catches a whiff of medicinal fragrance.

The medicinal fragrance is extremely strong, continuously diffusing out from the neighboring stone room.

You XiaoMo walks up to the stone room and looks at the tightly shut stone door. The stone door looks as if it hasn’t been opened for a really long time, with green moss growing on top of it. Can it be that this stone room is where magic herbs are stored?

No matter what the answer is, the presence of medicinal fragrance means that there must be magic herbs inside.

You XiaoMo rolls up his sleeves immediately and exerts all his strength.*ge zhi*, the door finally opens a tiny crack. At this moment, the medicinal fragrance emitted from the magic herbs immediately rush out from the cracked door. Breathing it in invigorates the soul.

After half of an quarter hour later, the stone door is finally pushed by him enough to reveal a gap that is just enough for his body to enter.

After forcing his way into the stone room, panting and wheezing, and seeing the magic herb fields filling the room, he feels that it was all worth it.

This place is even more spacious than the great hall. Actually it can’t be considered a stone room because this is like a miniature world. Above is not a ceiling but an expanse of blue sky. The floor is covered with magic herb fields. There are those that have matured, those that have yet to mature, and some that are even just germinating.

Most are low level magic herbs, followed by mid-level magic herbs, and finally the high level magic herbs.

What is rather disheartening is that there aren’t many high level magic herbs. By the time You XiaoMo finds them, he only sees a small patch of high level magic herbs lying pitifully in a corner. At a glance, it’s definitely not more than a hundred stalks.

You XiaoMo laments as he moves all the high level magic herbs into his dimension.

At this time, Luo ShuHe and the rest finally reach the peak of the mountain after enduring a thousand sufferings and ten thousand hardships. If Ling Xiao had not dealt with that level nine water demon, they would probably be even slower.

But what greets them is a great hall that is already riddled with a thousand wounds and a hundred holes.

Luo ShuHe’s expression is extremely unsightly, “Sure enough, someone beat us here.”

It’s just that the extent of destruction of the great hall exceeds his expectation. He had thought that even if someone would beat him to it, their strength wouldn’t be high enough to charge past the guards. He didn’t expect the other party’s strength to be even higher than he imagined.

The other forces also arrive. Seeing the condition of the great hall, their reactions mirror that of Luo ShuHe.

At this moment, Qing Cheng sect’s Elder Mo shrewdly notices that TianXin sect’s Lin Xiao is not here. He whispers into Luo ShuHe’s ear to inform him.

Luo ShuHe looks over to TianXin sect’s location and, true enough, does not see Lin Xiao. He can’t help but have his suspicions piqued, can it be that the person that beat them here is Lin Xiao?

But it doesn’t seem right after thinking it through. Lin Xiao’s strength is still Star level two stars. The Elders of TianXin sect who are stronger are still here. Even if they sent Lin Xiao to go ahead of them, he can’t have caused all this by himself. Furthermore, that little mage that was by his side is also not here.

Because the condition of the palace is beyond everyone’s expectation, the few major forces decide to put aside their differences for now to discuss how to deal with the current situation.

Luo ShuHe glances at the TianXin sect representative and remarks seemingly offhandedly, “Elder Shi, why is it that Brother Lin Xiao is not among you? Could it be that you all let him go ahead. Why are there so many sharp rocks over here? I must have landed wrongly!’

“Who is it!”

Tang YunQi is shocked, turning around abruptly. After shouting, she realizes that the voice sounds rather familiar but that grumbling voice immediately stops. She rushes to the rock to take a look, and her eyes immediately widen, feeling both astonishment and excitement.

“It’s you, You XiaoMo!”
