Chapter 1174 1174: Want to cause some trouble?
Both Lin Fan and Ye Qing Huan looked at Mu Bao Bao with surprised looks when she stepped forward like this.
However, Mu Bao Bao didn’t waste any time as she charged at the spirit beasts that were coming forward. It was as if the only thing that was in her eyes were the spirit beasts that were in front of her.
However, Mu Bao Bao didn’t rush too far forward since there were spirit beasts all around them.
It wasn’t as if there were only spirit beasts that were in front of them.
Once she was forward enough, Mu Bao Bao raised her sword and released a single slash. The energy that was contained in her slash was more than enough to cut down all of the spirit beasts that were in front of her.
The moment that Lin Fan saw this slash, he couldn’t help slightly narrowing his eyes to look at her more carefully.
It wasn’t that he was surprised by this move from Mu Bao Bao, rather it was because he wanted to have a closer look at the technique that she was using.
This was the technique that came with her new cultivation technique, that was why he was interested.
He wanted to see just how strong the cultivation technique that Deng Ying had given Mu Bao Bao was.
In the end, Mu Bao Bao accepted the cultivation technique and started cultivating it. After all, this cultivation technique really matched her current cultivation technique and changing to this cultivation technique would make her much stronger in the long run.
If she could become stronger…
On this cultivation continent, the most important thing was power.
That was demonstrated in the case of the Mu Empire where they had been pushed around by the Five Great Sects. If they had been strong enough, then they wouldn’t have had to worry about all these things.
If they had been strong enough, Mu Bao Bao’s parents wouldn’t have been taken away from her.
As such, she was quite obsessed with becoming stronger now.
Judging by the power that she demonstrated, Lin Fan could tell that she already had some success with this new cultivation technique. The strikes that she released were at least 20% stronger than the slashes that she released previously.
Lin Fan was certain of this since he had been with Mu Bao Bao for a long time now and had a good gauge of her power.
That was why he felt assured in leaving this to her.
Well, even if she hadn’t become stronger, he would have felt assured to leave this to her since they were just Foundation Realm Spirit Beasts that were around them.
Instead of watching Mu Bao Bao fight the spirit beasts, he started looking more closely at the spirit beasts. The way that he looked at them was as if he was trying to find some kind of clue from these spirit beasts.
Ye Qing Huan had also been impressed by Mu Bao Bao’s cultivation technique at first. The way that she looked at Mu Bao Bao made it clear that she knew quite a bit about Mu Bao Bao.
But then she also looked at the spirit beasts as if she was interested in them.
Though Ye Qing Huan lost interest sooner than Lin Fan before turning to ask him, “What are you thinking?”
Lin Fan didn’t say anything when he heard this, he just continued looking at the spirit beasts that were all around them.
In the end, he turned to Ye Qing Huan to ask, “What do you think about causing some trouble?”
Ye Qing Huan seemed surprised to hear Lin Fan say this, but then she said with a faint smile, “What do you have in mind?”
Lin Fan also revealed a smile as he said, “Well, if we mess with the people from the righteous sects, I don’t think that would be a bad thing.”
“That’s true, but you should know that they aren’t that normal. If you want to mess with them, you should come up with a plan first.”
Lin Fan just said with a nod, “Of course, let me tell you what my plan is.”
Ye Qing Huan silently listened to Lin Fan describe his plan and in the end, she gave a nod with a wide smile and said, “Good, then let’s follow this plan of yours. I can’t wait to see what kind of reaction they will have.”
“Let’s give them a big surprise.” Lin Fan said with an evil smile.
…
“Where are these spirit beasts coming from?” He Cang said in an annoyed voice.
Though it wasn’t even him that was taking care of these spirit beasts, he still stood there with an annoyed look on his face as he watched his subordinates take care of them.
The worst part of all of this was the fact that these spirit beasts were nothing more than Foundation Realm Spirit Beasts.
With their level of cultivation, these spirit beasts shouldn’t have dared to fight them. After all, the instincts of a beast would have told them that these people were just too strong for them to fight.
If they actually tried to fight them, the only thing that would have happened is that they would have been killed by them. Which was exactly what was happening since there was this large difference in strength.
The worst part was that these spirit beasts just didn’t have any useful things to them.
Foundation Realm Materials just didn’t have any value to He Cang’s group.
To them, this was nothing more than a waste of time.
He was one of the core disciples of the Mount Hua Sword Sect, he was someone that was very prideful to begin with. For these spirit beasts to actually attack them without giving them any face at all, it was like an insult to He Cang.
For someone with his pride, he really couldn’t stand these spirit beasts that seemed to be looking down on them.
That was why he actually wanted to cut them all down.
This went along with his personality since he was the one that had tried to provoke everyone in the first place. He was someone that was just hotblooded like this and usually acted before thinking.
“Cut them all down! Then find out why they’re attacking us!” He shouted at his subordinates who just had bitter smiles on their faces.
If they weren’t taking care of these spirit beasts, then what were they doing?
Were they just playing with them?
Though this thought passed through their minds, they didn’t actually say anything to him.
In the first place, he was the only reason that they had been able to come to these ruins. Though they were technically his subordinates, these people were also inner sect disciples of the Mount Hua Sword Sect, so it wasn’t as if they were weak.
It was just that He Cang had a higher position than them since he was one of the core disciples. He was one of the disciples of one of the peaks of the Mount Hua Sword Sect.
So they really couldn’t say anything to him.
After they finally cleared out the spirit beasts, they started looking around the area until…
“I found something over here!”
When this person called out, everyone suddenly went over to see what it was that was there. The moment that they saw it, they couldn’t help deeply knitting their brows since they recognized it immediately.
This thing was hard for them to mistake because of the aura that came from it.
With the Buddhist aura around this thing, it was clear that this was something that came from the Buddhist Sect.
But even then, it didn’t seem like they were planning on blaming the Buddhist Sect.
If the Buddhist Sect really were to do something like this, it wasn’t as if they would actually leave something like this behind. It was clear that this was a sloppy attempt at trying to frame the Buddhist Sect.
It even felt insulting seeing this since they didn’t believe that anyone would fall for this.
So did whoever tried to frame the Buddhist Sect really believe that they would be dumb enough to believe this?
But it wasn’t as if this piece of evidence didn’t mean anything.
It meant that the spirit beasts that attacked them had been driven by one of the others that came into these ruins.
“Are they really making their move this early?” He Cang said in a cold voice.
The others didn’t say anything as they continued staring at the piece of cloth that was on the ground.
After a long silence, He Cang finally said, “Search the area and see if you can find anything else. I also want to know how they were able to find us.” As soon as his voice fell, he narrowed his eyes to look at the members of his group.
After all, the only possible method that made sense that the other sects found them this quickly was if there was a traitor among them giving them their location.
He Cang’s subordinates also recognized this, which was why they couldn’t help giving a gulp and slowly looking at each other.
Just like this, the seeds of doubt were sown among He Cang’s group.
However, it wasn’t just He Cang’s group alone that were being messed with like this.
The other groups that had come into these ruins were also experiencing the same thing all over the place.
The same seeds of doubt were being sown in their groups as well.
