“Eldest Senior Brother, we must get rid of Ye Fan inside the secret realm this time.”
“Exactly. Ever since Ye Fan arrived, Master has given him all the good things. He even gave him the Chengying Sword that you've always wanted...”
“For this secret realm, Master was reluctant to let him take any risks at first. It was only because he insisted on coming that Master personally escorted him here...”
At this moment, Bai Yuanfei, the eldest disciple of the Haoran Sect Leader, also had an ugly expression upon hearing the words of his two junior brothers.
Indeed, before Ye Fan arrived, he had always been Master's favorite child.
But ever since Ye Fan arrived, Master's attention had shifted entirely to him.
Good food, good drinks, good items... everything good was given to him.
These had all belonged to him in the past.
Yet Ye Fan still put on a high-and-mighty attitude, always treating his fellow disciples with cold indifference.
He didn't even show any respect to him, his Eldest Senior Brother.
Hearing his junior brothers' complaints about Ye Fan, Bai Yuanfei's eyes flickered.
“Although Junior Brother Ye has received Master's favoritism since his arrival, is there really a need for us to kill him? After all, we are fellow disciples.”
“Senior Brother, you are just too soft-hearted. That Ye Fan showed no hesitation in seizing your favorite Chengying Sword, and he even took over my favorite cave dwelling...” the second disciple muttered angrily.
The third disciple also nodded in agreement.
“Senior Brother, you treat him as a brother, but he doesn't think of you that way at all. Who knows how he might stab you in the back later...”
Bai Yuanfei looked at them and said, “If we make a move against Junior Brother Ye and Master finds out, he will definitely not spare us.”
The second disciple said, “Eldest Senior Brother, we can just get rid of him in some secluded corner of this secret realm. As long as none of us say anything, who would ever know?”
The third disciple also chimed in, “Even if we kill Ye Fan and Master finds out in the future, would he really kill all of us over it?”
Hearing both of his junior brothers speak this way, Bai Yuanfei turned to look at their junior sister, Tu Feifei, who had remained silent.
“Junior Sister, what is your opinion?”
Tu Feifei's eyes flickered. “I... I will listen to Senior Brothers.”
“Junior Sister, you haven't taken a liking to that pretty boy, have you?” Seeing Tu Feifei's reaction, the Second Senior Brother couldn't help but ask.
“How could I? I'm just... just afraid of Master punishing us if he finds out.” Tu Feifei bit her red lip, looking terrified.
“Junior Sister, you don't need to worry about that. If we don't speak, how could Master possibly know? Besides, with several of us at the Foundation Establishment stage, killing a mere Qi Refining stage cultivator is as easy as turning over a hand...”
“Alright, I'll listen to you, Senior Brother,” Tu Feifei nodded repeatedly in agreement.
A dark gleam flashed in Bai Yuanfei's eyes. “Fine. Since Ye Fan doesn't know what's good for him and has disrupted the peace of the Sect Master Peak, he can't blame us for being ruthless...”
With that, the group vanished into the dense forest.
“Big Yellow, you're amazing! These are all Wind Grass!” Lu Ming compared them with his encyclopedia of spiritual herbs and praised the dog as he looked at the several stalks of spiritual herbs in front of him.
“Woof woof!!” Big Yellow excitedly rubbed against Lu Ming. Of course it was amazing; it had a dog's nose after all.
Huang Tianbao also looked at Big Yellow with admiration. “Second Senior Brother is so amazing...”
“Woof woof!!” Big Yellow wagged its tail proudly.
As it turned out, after the trio plundered Ye Fan and fled, they began searching for spiritual herbs inside the secret realm.
In Lu Ming's words, since they were already inside, they couldn't possibly leave empty-handed.
Naturally, if there were flowers, they would pick them; if there were no flowers, they would pluck the grass; and if there was absolutely nothing, they would still stuff a couple of handfuls of dirt into their pockets.
Thus, Big Yellow made use of its innate advantage—its incredibly powerful sense of smell.
In addition, it had recently and suddenly learned a technique called the Spirit Sniffing Technique.
It had literally learned it out of nowhere, according to Big Yellow.
Just like when it first started cultivating, this technique had suddenly popped into its mind.
Lu Ming was even beginning to suspect Big Yellow's origins.
Could Big Yellow have some sort of divine beast bloodline in its body, and this was a bloodline awakening?
Obtaining a bloodline inheritance was exactly how it was described in web novels.
So, relying on Big Yellow's sense of smell along the way, they harvested quite a few spiritual herbs.
“That tree looks pretty good. Let's dig it up and plant it in our sect...”
“That rock looks nice. Let's take it...”
“This turf looks great. Let's bring it back.”
“What kind of flowers are these? They look pretty good, let's dig them up...”
Thinking of the desolation of their sect, Lu Ming couldn't help but worry himself to death.
So, wherever Lu Ming and his companions passed, while they might not have plucked feathers from a flying goose, they certainly stripped the land of a layer of skin.
Just as Lu Ming finished digging up a tree, he heard a series of beastly roars.
“Roar! Roar!”
Then, looking up, he saw countless green, glowing eyes staring at them while drooling.
“Big Yellow, your relatives have come to find you...”
Big Yellow looked at those demon beasts, which were clearly Gale Wolves, and was completely speechless.
“Woof woof!!” Big Yellow barked. It was a dog, and those were wolves. Although they both had one head and four legs, they were absolutely two different species!
“So you do know you're two different species?”
“Woof woof!!” Big Yellow nodded in agreement.
“Then run! Are you really waiting to claim your relatives? Or are you waiting for them to find you a wife?” Lu Ming yelled in annoyance.
He then grabbed the dumbfounded Huang Tianbao, turned around, and began running for his life so fast that sparks practically flew from his feet.
Between heaven and earth, keeping one's life was king.
If he couldn't win, he would hide; if he couldn't hide, he would run.
This wasn't cowardice; this was a strategic retreat based on assessing the situation.
After running for who knew how long, Lu Ming finally stopped when he saw that the pack of Gale Wolves behind them wasn't pursuing anymore.
Meanwhile, Huang Tianbao had been dragged along so fast that he was foaming at the mouth and rolling his eyes.
Lu Ming supported Huang Tianbao while panting heavily, and said to Big Yellow, “Look, you're both canines. How can the difference between you and them be so massive?”
“Woof woof!!” Big Yellow was also lolling its tongue, looking completely out of breath.
Actually, they didn't need to run. It could have negotiated with them and asked for mercy.
“What? You could have negotiated? Why didn't you say so earlier?” Lu Ming couldn't help but exclaim.
“Second... Senior Brother...” Huang Tianbao groaned weakly.
“Woof woof!!” Big Yellow wagged its tail and pointed a paw at Lu Ming.
Did he even give it a chance? He just put his head down and bolted like a wild dog was chasing him!
Lu Ming was instantly speechless. Had he really not given the dog a chance?
“Heh... we really wore out our iron shoes searching for you, only to find you so easily!” Just then, a cold snort suddenly rang out.
Looking up, Lu Ming saw the group from the Chixia Sect standing not far ahead, though he had no idea when they had arrived.
The members of the Chixia Sect were also full of excitement.
Ever since they entered, they had been searching—searching for Lu Ming's group, searching for Ye Fan, and searching for the Star Snow Lotus.
In the end, they had searched for ages without finding a single one.
Who would have thought that while they were resting, Lu Ming and his companions would run straight into their resting spot?
This stroke of good luck absolutely thrilled their Senior Brother Lin...
Meanwhile, Lu Ming looked at them with an expression of pity.
His Protagonist Halo was truly too powerful. Big Yellow had just said it could communicate with the pack of Gale Wolves, and right away, the enemy delivered themselves to their doorstep...
What was this called? It was the heavens themselves practically forcing his enemies to die!
Without another word, Lu Ming grabbed Huang Tianbao and immediately turned to run back.
The enemies who had delivered themselves couldn't be allowed to escape.
