Chapter 6

Dagyuan had a dark look on his face, and Hengyi silently retreated...

Wang Zhen, known as the Great Tiger, whose real name was Wang Lao Hu.

The gold and silver hidden in the house were stolen overnight, and everyone in the house was shouting about ghosts.

In the surrounding villages, there had been frequent cases of ghost thefts over the past two years. There were footprints at the scene, but it seemed as if the thief had flown in and out with the loot, leaving no other traces. This had long been a topic of discussion.

Wang Lao Hu, with a dark face, listened to the wives and concubines' loud complaints and roars, "Shut up, all of you! Ghosts? What nonsense! Who the hell, with a bit of magic, dares to mess with me, Wang Lao Hu!"

Wang Lao Hu was once a disciple of the Lake and Sea Sect. Due to limited cultivation potential, he left the sect and returned, but he was still a member of the Lake and Sea Sect, just as an external disciple, otherwise he wouldn't have become the town mayor.

There were still some magical talismans left at home. After the theft, he used the talismans to check and found clear traces of magic, so he naturally knew what had happened.

...

Eryuan and Sanyuan were unhappy for several days. They had done a good deed, but instead of praise, they received a scolding from Dagyuan and were not allowed to take the gold and silver out to buy things.

Wang Feizi, seeing Hengyi, bit her lower lip but couldn't resist asking curiously, "Senior Brother, what's wrong with the Deputy Sect Leader and the Elders these days? I don't dare to talk to them."

"Did you sneak back home and anger them again?"

Wang Feizi pouted and stomped her foot, "Senior Brother! If you don't want to say, just don't say, but don't mock me! I didn't, the family is fine, and I'm not worried about them, so I wouldn't sneak back home!"

Hengyi laughed heartily, finding Wang Feizi's angry face adorable. In the past, when he saw Wang Feizi's prominent chest, he would think of Wang Ba pressing a woman and want to try it himself, but he always reminded himself of what Wang Feizi had said. Over time, this thought had faded, and he now found her endearing. "You know you shouldn't ask, but you still do? If I could say, I would have said it long ago."

"Senior Brother, I'm just worried! I feel like something is going to happen... Just now, Seventh Brother said he saw a group of strangers in the forest, all carrying swords and wearing the same clothes. Could they be coming for us?" Wang Feizi looked at Hengyi with deep concern, hoping for reassurance.

"Tell everyone to stay out of the forest for now."

"Yes." After Wang Feizi left, Hengyi hurried to see Dagyuan and relayed the news.

Dagyuan's expression was grave. After a moment of thought, he ordered, "Hengyi, go and bring back Second Master and Third Master. Don't let them wander outside. They might not find us, but if they leave any traces, it will be disastrous!"

Hengyi agreed and set off. Just as he stepped out of the cave, he heard Sanyuan's cries for help. "Big Brother, save me! Save me—"

Dagyuan darted out of the cave, grabbing Hengyi, who was about to fly out. "Hide the divine book and the divine sword! Don't act without my command. I'll go and check."

With that, Dagyuan used the wind-riding spell and flew off.

Hengyi, with his sword and book, ran to the place where he usually buried animal bones and quickly hid them. Just as he finished, he saw many figures flying down from the sky.

"Second Master—"

Among them was Eryuan, but he wasn't flying; he was falling straight down!

Hengyi flew up and just managed to catch the falling Eryuan, the impact of the fall causing his legs to tremble as he landed.

Eryuan's slightly plump face, with his narrow eyes wider than ever, was frozen in fear. Blood was still flowing from his ears, and his chin and neck were stained red.

Hengyi, holding the already dead Second Master, felt his hands and feet turn cold, and his body began to shake uncontrollably. The memories of their half-year together flooded his mind...

Over a hundred figures flew down from the sky.

Sanyuan was being held by the hair by one of the men. Blood was flowing from his mouth, indicating he was injured, but he was not in immediate danger. He was still shouting, "Big Brother, save me, Big Brother, save me..."

Dagyuan, forced to fly back to the ground, looked at the Lake and Sea Sect's deities in the sky and dared not think of resistance. He knew that only he and Hengyi could fight, but what about the other disciples? Seeing Sanyuan thrown to the ground like trash, Dagyuan felt deep pain but knew he must suppress it and find a way to save the sect!

The man holding Sanyuan wiped his hand in disgust and coldly surveyed the people of the Sanyuan Sect. "What are you? To dare call yourselves a sect of immortals—just a bunch of thieves!"

"The great deities of the Lake and Sea Sect, I failed to welcome you properly. We are not a sect of immortals, just a group of homeless people. These are orphans, and they only resorted to theft out of hunger. Please have mercy and spare us," Dagyuan pleaded humbly, his voice and demeanor unlike his usual self.

"Hmph! Where are the stolen goods from Wang Lao Hu's house?"

"Here, here, all here, not a single thing has been used!" Dagyuan led the young deity into the cave, where a pile of gold and jewels was stacked. "We only wanted food, nothing more. My second brother made a mistake, but I think there was some right in his wrong—"

"Right in his wrong?" The young man glared coldly, and Dagyuan calmly replied, "What use does Wang Lao Hu have for that money? Only the Lake and Sea Sect can truly make use of it, like you, to buy valuable cultivation items and more easily punish evil and eliminate injustice."

As he spoke, Dagyuan took out two pieces of jade and handed them over. "The other things are not valuable, but these two pieces of jade are very special." He actually knew nothing about jade, just felt these two pieces were the most valuable.

The man glanced at them, silently took them, and put them away. "Do you want me to spare you?"

"The deities are kind, please save us. They are truly orphans and have never been involved in theft." Dagyuan pleaded sincerely.

"You have quite a few demands!" The young deity pretended to think, but secretly sneered. He had already investigated the situation the day before, and the sect's plan was to take them all back for punishment. The treasure was a bonus. After a moment, he pretended to have an idea. "I will take you back to the sect for punishment, but I will ensure your safety. Only one person stole from Wang Lao Hu, and he has already been executed on the spot. Only he knew where the treasure was. Understand?"

"Understand, understand!" Dagyuan understood, of course. This person wanted to keep all the treasure for himself.

After they went out, the young deity pretended to be angry and questioned Dagyuan, who repeatedly begged for forgiveness. "Deity, please calm down. Yesterday, I knew my second brother had made a mistake and ordered him to put the treasure in a safe place, not to touch it. I never expected he would be so bold as to move it secretly, probably planning to run away with it. Now, I don't know where the treasure is, Deity..."

"Enough talk! Take them all!" The young deity ordered, and all the disciples of the Sanyuan Sect were taken away.

One of the deities shouted, "This one is hugging a corpse, like a fool!"

Dagyuan, hearing this, smiled and bowed, quickly running to Hengyi's side. "Hengyi, let go."

Hengyi, seeing Dagyuan's red-rimmed eyes and the effort to hold back tears, said mournfully, "Master, they killed Second Master..."

"I know, I know... Hengyi, in life, having an enemy is not scary; what's scary is not having the chance to take revenge. Listen to me, listen to me. Has Master ever lied to you?"

Hengyi shook his head woodenly.

"Continue to trust Master. The revenge for Second Master will be taken, it will be! Now, let go of Second Master."

Hengyi squatted down and let go of Eryuan's body...

The Sanyuan Sect, with thirty-three people, was taken away by over a hundred disciples of the Lake and Sea Sect.

Hengyi followed behind his master, his mind still filled with memories of his time with Second Master, feeling deep pain and sorrow. Death is irreversible, like the death of pigs, cows, and sheep... but he wouldn't feel this way about the death of animals.

As he thought, a new emotion surged within him. This emotion made his body tense, creating a sense of urgency that needed to be released.

He wanted to kill!

Dagyuan, seeing Hengyi's hateful gaze fixed on the young deity's back, quickly grabbed his arm, shaking his head to warn him, fearing he would act rashly. He glanced at the other disciples being taken away.

"Don't let your impulsiveness cost their lives."

Hengyi wanted to cry; this feeling was extremely painful!

They passed through a large cloud of mist in the void.

A mountain appeared before Hengyi's eyes.

The immortal mountain of the Lake and Sea Sect, unknown to the secular world, was hidden in the void, invisible on the earth.

The people of the Sanyuan Sect were confined in a large house on the immortal mountain.

Hengyi squatted next to Sanyuan, who was sobbing softly. His red-rimmed eyes and thin face made him look like a monkey. "It's all my fault, for not stopping Second Brother... We were wandering in the forest, and Second Brother was complaining about the leader. Suddenly, that young guy appeared and asked if Second Brother had stolen from Wang Lao Hu. At the time, he was alone, and Second Brother was already in a bad mood, so he cursed, 'What's it to you, brat? If I did it, so what?' The guy immediately attacked, sending Second Brother flying, and then hit me, dragging me and demanding to know where the treasure was... If I had stopped Second Brother, he wouldn't have died... That guy was too cruel. Even if Second Brother shouldn't have cursed, he shouldn't have killed him! A curse shouldn't cost a life... sniff..."

Hengyi listened with deep sorrow, wanting to kill that person, really wanting to...

Wang Feizi, trembling, moved closer to Hengyi, tugging at his clothes and asking fearfully, "Senior Brother, are we all going to die?"

Hengyi shook his head blankly, then thought for a moment and said, "We shouldn't, the Sect Leader will find a way to save everyone."

"But Second Master is dead, they are so scary. Second Master only stole, he didn't hurt anyone, how could they kill him... Stealing at worst means going to jail, not being killed..." Wang Feizi sobbed, and Hengyi, unable to answer, remained silent.

The door suddenly opened, and the light hurt their eyes.
