GBP Chapter 1743 All Gone
Chapter 1743 All Gone
The strange old man looked at her with great suspicion upon hearing this. He was very skeptical that the girl who dared to trespass directly into his herb field could be so weak.
But judging from her expression, she wasn't faking it.
Fine, I'll just have to believe her for now.
"Old man, I'll give it to you as I say, why are you dawdling?" Seeing the old man's conflicted expression, Yan Li directly stuffed the secret realm space ring into his hand.
Strange old man: ...
It seems I wasn't overthinking it!
The fact that this girl so casually handed over the life-storing space to me proves that the life-storing space ring wasn't as threatening to her as she claimed.
However, it must be admitted that this space capable of accommodating life is indeed a rare and precious treasure.
Since that young girl has already given it to me, I won't be polite with her.
I really needed a space where I wouldn't be disturbed at all.
"Then thank you very much, little girl." The strange old man excitedly performed the blood oath ceremony.
"Old man, then we'll take our leave." Now that she had obtained the medicinal herb field, she didn't want to stay in this forest any longer.
"Girl, be careful in everything you do," the strange old man instructed.
Yan Li nodded and left with Gongsun Zijun and the others.
After all, those old guys in the Yin-Yang Alliance couldn't possibly entrust the spirit herb fields to the strange old man with complete peace of mind; they must have some way of spying on the spirit herb fields at any time.
Therefore, it is not advisable for me to stay here for long.
After Yan Li and the others left, the eccentric old man returned to his thatched hut, put everything inside into his spatial storage, and then flashed into his spatial storage as well.
After all, he's been here for twenty years and has gotten used to it.
He can enter the space from here and occasionally come out for a stroll.
After they all left, the Supreme Elder of the Yin-Yang Alliance wanted to check on the condition of the medicinal herb field, only to find a large, barren area!
He was instantly terrified and tried to communicate with the strange old man through secret methods, but received no response.
So he hurriedly summoned the Grand Elder of the Yin-Yang Alliance.
"Grand Elder, what did you say? The spiritual herbs in the herb field and the strange old man have all disappeared?" Upon learning the situation, the Grand Elder of the Yin-Yang Alliance turned pale instantly.
"That's right, didn't that strange old man have an agreement with you? What exactly is going on?" The Supreme Elder was furious.
"An agreement? Twenty years? Oh no, how could I forget? Today is the last day of the twenty-year period. Right, Ce'er went to the spirit herb field to collect spirit herbs a few days ago, and he hasn't returned yet. I'll send a message to inquire about the situation." The Yin-Yang Alliance's Grand Elder immediately sent a message to Sun Ce after saying this.
But no sooner had he finished sending the message than Sun Ce suddenly appeared before him with the heavily injured Mo Su.
The teleportation scroll that the Grand Elder of the Yin-Yang Alliance gave to Sun Ce was meant to teleport people to his side.
"Ce'er, what's wrong with you all?" The Grand Elder of the Yin-Yang Alliance was taken aback upon seeing this!
“Grandpa, on my way back after retrieving the elixir, I encountered the young master being besieged by Mu Qin and her men. I rescued the young master from Mu Qin and her group, but because he was too badly injured, I had to use a teleportation scroll to send him back,” Sun Ce explained.
"Why would Mu Qin lead a group to attack the young master? She is the future young master's wife. What good would it do her?" The Yin Yang Alliance's Grand Elder was very puzzled.
"I don't know either." Sun Ce still didn't reveal that Mu Qin was infatuated with him.
Seeing that Mo Su was indeed seriously injured, the Grand Elder of the Yin-Yang Alliance summoned the alchemists of the Yin-Yang Alliance to come and treat him.
"Where is Mu Qin now?" The Supreme Elder asked coldly.
"We're still in the Cloud Sea Forest," Sun Ce replied honestly.
He only crippled her strength, not killed her. Whether she can come out of the Cloud Sea Forest alive depends on her own luck.
"Why not kill her?" The Supreme Elder's gaze fell on Sun Ce.
“She is the alliance leader’s adopted daughter, so the alliance leader should handle her personally,” Sun Ce said, neither humble nor arrogant.
"Ce'er, you did very well." The elder smiled as he looked at his grandson.
Although no one knows why the Alliance Leader insisted on making Mu Qin the Young Master's wife, there must be some unknown reason.
Although Mu Qin wanted to kill Mo Su, if Sun Ce killed her, it might displease the alliance leader and cause him to blame him.
Anyway, it's not like the leader of the alliance hasn't killed his own son before.
"Grandpa, this is the elixir that the Alliance Leader needs. I've brought it back." Sun Ce took out a jade box and handed it to the Grand Elder.
"Ce'er, did you notice anything unusual when you went to the spirit herb field to collect the spirit herbs?" The Grand Elder of the Yin-Yang Alliance looked at Sun Ce.
“Something’s wrong? No, it’s the same as before. After I arrived there, I greeted the strange old man. He just nodded at me, and then I went into the herb field to pick the herbs I needed. After I finished picking, I greeted the strange old man again and left,” Sun Ce replied.
"So, when you went to retrieve the elixir, the eccentric old man and the elixir field were still there?" The Supreme Elder looked at Sun Ce.
"They're all here." Sun Ce nodded.
"How did he manage to disappear without a trace with the medicinal herb field in such a short time?" the Supreme Elder muttered.
"What? The strange old man disappeared with the medicinal herb field? How is that possible? Didn't he have an agreement with you, Grandpa?" Sun Ce was very surprised to hear this.
"The agreement was for him to guard the medicinal herb fields for twenty years, and today is the last day of those twenty years." The Grand Elder of the Yin-Yang Alliance sighed.
He knew that with the old man's strength, finding him after he left would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
"How is that possible? It's been less than half a day since I left the herb field. The herb field was perfectly fine before I left. How did he manage to move the herb field in such a short time?" Sun Ce was filled with shock.
"He guarded the medicinal herb fields for twenty years; perhaps he used some secret method to move them," the Grand Elder of the Yin-Yang Alliance speculated.
"Grandpa, do you think he might have used some kind of formation to hide the medicinal herb field, making us think it's gone?" Sun Ce guessed.
“It’s possible. Let’s go take a look now.” The Supreme Elder’s eyes lit up upon hearing this.
"Grand Elder, should we inform the Alliance Leader?" The Grand Elder of the Yin-Yang Alliance looked at the Grand Elder.
"Go and inform him. As the leader of the alliance, he should know about such a big matter." The Supreme Elder nodded.
"Ce'er, the young master's injuries have stabilized after treatment. You should go with Master Wu to escort him back to his courtyard. You will be responsible for taking care of him for the next few days," the Grand Elder instructed Sun Ce before leaving.
"I understand, Grandpa." Sun Ce nodded.
He also knew that the disappearance of the medicinal herb field was of great importance.
In the Cloud Sea Forest, after Yan Li and her group left the herb field for a while, they deactivated their invisibility and headed out of the forest.
"Help...help me." As Yan Li and the others were walking, Wen Mi was startled when a pair of bloody hands suddenly grabbed his leg.
"What the hell is that?" Wen Mi almost instinctively kicked the owner of the bloody hands away.
Yan Li: ...
In that fleeting glance, the blood-covered figure looked just like Mu Qin, the one the Yin-Yang Alliance wanted to kill Mo Su.
