“Damn it!”
Ji Xiaoxiao’s full-strength palm strike did not cause any substantial damage to the God of Thief.
Even if he was not good at fighting, he was still a god.
Although due to the uniqueness of the clergy, he did not have many believers.
But a god was a god after all!
The God of Thief returned to the place where the holy statues were placed, but the three holy statues and Ji Xiaoxiao were nowhere to be seen.
‘ This is my divine territory.” He sneered.” Where can you hide?””
As he spoke, countless shadows surged in the Eternal Night Space and condensed into the hands of thieves. They moved silently and gently.
In just a moment, Ji Xiaoxiao was pulled out from the ground.
Although Ji Xiaoxiao had already cast [Disguise] and [Substitution] on herself, this was the God of Thief’s territory, so there was no way for her to hide.
Ji Xiaoxiao wasn’t nervous at all. Instead, she urged,”You found me so quickly? He was quite powerful. Now it’s your turn, go hide, I’ll find you.”
The God of Thief sneered.
“Meow -(What should we do now? Will little master be in danger? How can we save him?” Luo Qian said worriedly.
Ji Ruo thought for a moment and said,” Don’t worry. After all, he’s my inner demon. I believe in him. Don’t worry, nothing will happen…” However, we can’t do nothing either. He’s probably already been brought to the new mystic realm that hasn’t completely descended yet…He would find an opportunity to ask the captive about the new mythical realm.”
The next day.
Ji Ruo woke up early in the morning. After greeting the villagers and the martial artists stationed there, he went straight to the place where Qiao Xi was imprisoned.
He said that he did not need to worry, but in fact, he was still a little anxious.
Although Ji Xiaoxiao was the inner demon, as long as Ji Ruo and Chen MO were still alive, it would be difficult for Ji Xiaoxiao to die.
However, if Ji Ruo could go to the rescue in time, the divine weapon would descend from the sky at the moment of crisis and shout, ‘Little thing, I’m here to save you!’,How cool would that be!
Not only Ji Xiaoxiao, but also the stolen holy statue.
Ji Xiaoxiao had the Wan Xiang Mirror Fragment on her, so Ji Ruo could use the Wan Xiang Travel to locate her and head there. Although the secret realm hadn’t completely descended, the power of fantasy creation didn’t make sense!
However, before going, he still had to understand the situation in the mystic realm first.
“Eh? What’s that?”
From afar, Ji Ruo could see that in the place where Josie was imprisoned, there was another strangely shaped rectangular object. It was completely black, and under the morning sun, it emitted a strange metallic glow.
The style is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, looking a little like the… Coffin?
However, compared to a normal coffin, it looked a little small.
Not only that, but there were also several thick chains tied to it. On the cuboid, there were even blood-red patterns engraved on it. Those patterns might not have been seen in Great Xia, but they were not uncommon before transmigration.
Talisman.
However, whether it was before or after transmigration, this thing was feudal superstition!
Today, it was Hu Yonglin and the other martial artists ‘turn to watch over Josie, but they seemed to be used to the rectangular object that looked like a coffin in front of Josie.
“Jiruo, so early.”
“Hehe, how can a martial artist sleep in?”Ji Ruo didn’t go to Qiao Xi’s side immediately. Instead, he found Hu Yonglin and asked curiously,””Brother Hu, what is that? Why does it look like…’
“It looks like a coffin, doesn’t it?” Hu Yonglin smiled helplessly.”
Ji Ruo was stunned.
Hu Yonglin pulled Ji Ruo to a different angle so that he could see the back of the coffin.
From a different angle, Ji Ruo could clearly see that the coffin was actually carried by a person!
Hu Yonglin then continued, “That person’s name is Gu Shaoxuan, he’s a strange person.’”‘
“Weirdo?” Ji Ruoshen nodded at the thought, “It’s quite strange.
Who would carry a metal coffin around early in the morning?
“Is he a villager from the Eight Treasures Stronghold?” Ji Ruo asked curiously.
“No.” Hu Yonglin shook his head and said,” This guy runs a funeral supplies shop. He doesn’t usually stay in his shop. He likes to carry that metal coffin and walk around the border. He sells his funeral business to the martial artists and residents stationed at the border.”
“When the Eight Treasures Stronghold was under lockdown, he happened to be selling to this stronghold. Later, when it was under lockdown, he couldn’t get out, so he stayed here to help us.
However, he isn’t a garrison martial artist, so we won’t ask him to follow us on patrol.
He went to bed early last night. When he heard that the thief had been caught this morning, he volunteered to help with the interrogation.”
“I see.” Ji Ruo was deep in thought.
Selling funeral services all over the border?
Although Hu Yonglin did not say it explicitly, Ji Ruo could roughly guess that this guy called Gu Shaoxuan was probably not likable.
After all, most of the martial artists guarding the border regarded sanctification as the highest honor, and the statue of the Martial Saint did not need to be buried.
After some thought, Ji Ruo walked towards Gu Shaoxuan and said politely, “”Hello, I’m Ji Ruo.”
“My name is Gu Shaoxuan.” Gu Shaoxuan was a little surprised, but he still said enthusiastically, “I haven’t seen you before. You shouldn’t be from the Eight Treasures Stronghold, right?
I heard that this thief was caught by a little hero last night. Could it be you?”
Ji Ruo scratched his head.”
Chen MO promptly condensed a black dialog box above Ji Ruo’s head.””That’s right! It’s me!”
Gu Shaoxuan was stunned for a moment before he laughed out loud.
He did not find it strange.
To be able to catch a thief, it meant that Ruo Ruo was not a weak martial artist.
His martial arts were profound and profound, and his effects were all strange. It was just a dialog box. Although it was rare, it was normal.
“Brother Jiruo, are you interested in learning about my family’s funeral business?”Gu Shaoxuan suddenly pulled Ji Ruo and said,” Being buried is an excellent traditional culture that has been passed down in Great Xia for many years. Let me tell you…”
Gu Shaoxuan introduced his family’s business to Ji Ruo in a very friendly manner, and Ji Ruo was stunned.
After the general introduction, Gu Shaoxuan winked and said, “Neither of us are from the Eight Treasures Stronghold, nor are we martial artists stationed in the establishment. The world is so big, but we actually met here. It’s so fated.. We hit it off at first sight. Why don’t we become sworn brothers?
In the future, if you ask me for help, I’ll give you a 40% discount!”
Ji Ruo smiled awkwardly.” Thank you, but I won’t consider it for the time being.
“Don’t consider what? Would they become sworn brothers or would they get a 40% discount on funerals?”
“Hmm, I won’t consider…” Ji Ruo pondered for two seconds.
“Alright, then if Brother Ji Ruo ever changes your mind, remember to look for me.”
“Alright, I won’t let you have the chance to do business with me,” Ji Ruo replied politely.”
Gu Shaoxuan smiled and did not continue the topic. Instead, he said, “Brother
Jiruo, are you also here to admire this beautiful captive?” “What do you mean?” Aren’t you here to help with the interrogation?”
“What? Well… Yes, I’m here to help with the interrogation.”
Ji Ruo was speechless.
I believed you!
