Chapter 1201: Chapter 1201: Troublemaker in Action!
Tang Li Xue hastily looted the mine supervisors’ storage treasures before she used her [Ethereal Form] and [Void Barrier] to conceal herself and quickly leave that place.
She just killed more than a dozen mine supervisors after all.
There was no guarantee that the Region Head Master Yu could not sense that more than a dozen mine supervisors, who had chased after Lucia and Yaya, had already been killed.
Just like Tang Li Xue had expected, Master Yu actually came to the location where more than a dozen mine supervisors had been killed and checked what had happened.
"These damn rats! It should be impossible for that stupid bird to kill all the mine supervisors by itself. It means there are actually more rats helping it! Just wait! I will make sure to uproot you all!" Master Yu said angrily.
Master Yu patrolled around a few more times to find Tang Li Xue, Lucia, and Yaya, but unfortunately for him, they were no longer there.
Master Yu could only return to his Jade Tower in anger and resentment.
.....
...
.
Currently, Tang Li Xue was already heading to Lu Xingchen’s location using [Moonlight Flickering Dance Step], [Wind Burst Step], and [Void Shrinking Step] alternately.
Meanwhile, Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy went to the [Nine Elementals Immortal Pagoda]’s Water Floor to check Lucia and Yaya’s condition.
Lucia was all right. She was only sleeping from exhaustion right now.
Yaya’s condition was a little bit tricky, but it was also not a big problem for Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy.
After being soaked in Spiritual Healing Water in the [Nine Elementals Immortal Pagoda]’s Water Floor for some time, all of Yaya’s injuries were already healed.
Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy picked Yaya out from the Spiritual Healing Water and immediately fed her some spirit fruit juice to replenish her energy.
Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy let Yaya hold [Wind Energy Gathering Stone] and brought Yaya to the Wind Floor to rest there.
There was extremely abundant Wind Element Spiritual Energy in the Wind Floor, so Yaya should be able to recover much faster there.
Yaya had been gravely injured for quite some time, so Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy treated her more attentively so that Yaya’s foundation would not be damaged and affect her future growth.
There were too many cases where the cultivators were unable to break through to a higher realm because their foundation was damaged, which was caused by the sequelae of their old injuries.
After making sure Lucia and Yaya were all right, Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy returned to her task and watched what Lu Xingchen was doing from the Wind Floor.
"Uhh, I have some bad news for you." Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy said to the real Tang Li Xue.
"Bad news?" Tang Li Xue asked curiously, but her speed had not slowed down at all.
"It seems your beloved Little Loki has caused some trouble... Well, a really big trouble, and it even attracts the attention of the Region Head." Perfect copy informed Tang Li Xue in a solemn tone.
"WHAT~?!" Tang Li Xue exclaimed in surprise.
.....
The time rewound to some time ago.
After leaving the thatched hut, Lu Xingchen quickly mingled with the crowd of mine slaves.
Lu Xingchen thought that his knowledge about this Isolated Jade Island and the Merchant Alliance was still very limited, so he planned to look for more information from the other mine slaves in these few days.
He knew that he was an ’outsider’ and an ’intruder’ of this Isolated Jade Island, so he did not dare to act rashly.
After he collected enough information, Lu Xingchen would proceed to go and find Tang Li Xue in a low-key manner.
Unfortunately, Lu Xingchen’s meticulous plan was immediately ruined.
When he and the crowd of the mine slaves arrived at the precious jade mine, they were actually surrounded by hundreds of mine guards and dozens of guard captains!
"You... What is the meaning of this?" One of the mine slaves asked in an annoyed tone.
"Guards, what are you doing? We have to work now, or we may not reach our daily quota for today." The other mine slave protested unhappily.
"That is right! You’d better give us some explanation, or we will complain to the mine supervisor later!" The braver mine slave even threatened.
"SHUT UP—!" Several guard captains shouted out loud in a cold and solemn tone.
All the mine slaves got intimidated by the guard captains’ loud shout and went silent.
"Our warehouses got robbed just now, and the culprit should be among us! The Region Head and the mine supervisors are still investigating it. We, the mine guards, are also assigned the task to inspect you one by one!" The guard captains explained to all the mine slaves in a solemn tone.
The mine slaves began to whisper to each other and cause the ruckus out of worry and uneasiness.
"The warehouses got robbed? Who would dare to do such a bold thing?"
"Humph~! We, the mine slaves, cannot even get close to the warehouses, so how could we steal anything from there? I think the culprit should be among the guards."
"That is right. I think we should be careful. I am afraid the guards may look for a scapegoat and put the blame on us."
The more the mine slaves talked, the more worried they became.
Lu Xingchen’s expression, who was hiding among them, was also turned solemn and worried.
He did not have a legitimate identity after all, so if he was investigated, he would definitely get exposed really soon!
The mine guards began to check the mine slaves one by one, and they even probed them from head to toe.
The mine guards would even interrogate them and ask something like: ’What did you do an hour ago?’, ’Who were you with at that time?’, and so on.
The mine guards also looked at their information from the registration data meticulously and checked where they were staying one by one.
They would even search their houses one by one later if they still failed to find any clues about the robber!
It did not take long for Lu Xingchen’s turn to come.
Lu Xingchen gulped his saliva nervously when a mine guard approached him.
"Raise your hands! What is your name? Where do you live now?" The mine guard asked while groping Lu Xingchen from head to toe.
"My name is... Li Erniu. I am staying at a thatched hut at the south of the Mine Town number 104." Lu Xingchen replied.
Yes, he was lying using Li Erniu’s name!
The mine guard opened his data terminal to check Lu Xingchen’s information.
The mine guard immediately realized that Lu Xingchen’s face was completely different from Li Erniu’s.
"Hey, you are..." Before the mine guard could finish his words, Lu Xingchen stretched his index finger and middle finger to the mine guard’s chest!
PUFF—!
The mine guard was caught completely off guard!
The sharp and destructive sword energy penetrated the mine guard’s chest and destroyed his heart in an instant!
The mine guard glared at Lu Xingchen with a pair of eyes filled with shock and disbelief.
He did not even have any time to react and was killed by Lu Xingchen just like that.
Before the mine guard’s dead body could fall, Lu Xingchen hastily grabbed his collar and pulled the mine guard’s dead body toward him.
"Hey, brother~! Long time no see! How are you now?" Lu Xingchen pretended to talk with the mine guard and hugged him, like hugging his own lost brother.
The other mine guards and mine slaves looked at him and the dead mine guard strangely, but they did not bother to get close and check them, since they were busy with their own tasks.
"I understand. Let’s go and talk back at the back." Lu Xingchen said again while dragging the mine guard’s dead body to the back row of the mine slaves.
But his strange action quickly got noticed by one of the guard captains!
"Hey, what are you doing over there?!" The guard captain shouted angrily.
Lu Xingchen’s expression turned cold as the guard captain approached them with an angry expression.
Just when Lu Xingchen gathered his sword energy into his fingers to launch a surprise attack on the guard captain...
RUMBLE—! RUMBLE—! BOOOOOM—!
The ground shook greatly, followed by a huge explosion!
Some weaker mine slaves and mine guards even fell face down on the ground in panic and fright.
Lu Xingchen and the guard captains quickly saw a giant black creature, actually fighting fiercely against several mine supervisors from afar!
’That giant black beast... Don’t tell me that is the true form of the black kitten?!’ Lu Xingchen frowned as he guessed that the giant black beast should be Little Loki, and it should also be Little Loki, who had stolen the warehouses before.
’What a troublesome beast! Can it just remain low-key for a while?! At least until we reunite with everyone first.’ Lu Xingchen sighed and complained in his heart.
Lu Xingchen spat out the spatial ring that he had hidden in his mouth just now to avoid getting discovered by the mine guard, who inspected him.
Then Lu Xingchen took out a sword from his spatial ring!
PUFF—! PUFF—! PUFF—! PUFF—!
Lu Xingchen killed the mine guards and the guard captains around him in a few quick slashes so easily!
The cultivation level of these mine guards and the guard captains was only at the Core Formation Stage, so they were far too weak in front of Lu Xingchen, who was already at the Great Perfection of Nascent Soul Stage that mastered three Profound Laws.
