The Power of Many

"Shen Ge, if you dare to send that pill out today, I guarantee that your master, Mo Qingyu, won't be able to protect you!" Shangguan Ouyang roared coldly as he looked at Shen Ge who had already left.

"Martial Uncle Ouyang." Shen Ge turned to look at Shangguan Ouyang, tossing the fragments of pills aside with his outstretched hand. "I've already left the Spirit Moon Sect, so naturally I don't need Master's protection anymore. Therefore, I apologize this time."

"Fellow Daoist, you are truly magnanimous!"

Upon seeing the fragments of the medicinal pills, those who were besieging the group immediately ceased their attack on Shangguan Ouyang and his companions, and began vying for the fragments themselves. As for Shen Ge, he had already vanished in the chaos.

Shangguan Ouyang looked at the crowd scrambling for the prize, his face turning ashen. But now, not only were they injured, but they were also the targets of everyone's hostility, so they didn't dare to join in the fight and could only watch coldly.

"If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have stood up for that bastard in the first place, "Shangguan Ouyang thought to himself.

Yang Feng gritted his teeth, his face contorted with rage, and said, "When we get back this time, I'll make sure that little brat is nailed to the sect's kill list, and I'll personally hunt him down!"

"Sigh, Qingyu Sister Qingyu really has bad luck with men. If she knew she'd taken in such a scoundrel as a disciple, I wonder if she'd be furious." Li Qingshuang sighed, "Hopefully he won't affect Su Sui. That little girl is quite nice."

The battle lasted for a while. Qianyuan was lucky enough to snatch a small fragment and immediately ran away without looking back. He didn't dare to linger, fearing that those people would become bloodthirsty and keep targeting him.

At the edge of the crowd, Zhang Hao managed to snatch a tiny fragment while the crowd was still in disarray, and then ran away without looking back. After all, as a Early Golden Core Stage, he was already lucky to have managed to grab anything; he wouldn't dare to hope for anything more.

Outside, Li Xue and the other woman met Shen Ge Shen Ge. Seeing the wound on his body that had nearly cleaved him in two, they immediately helped him up with concern. "Shen Ge, you really took too much risk this time; you almost died."

Shen Ge waved his hand, grinning nonchalantly, "This injury is nothing, just a superficial wound. It doesn't affect anything fundamental, it'll be fine in a few days. It's worth it even if it ruins that pill."

Li Xue took out a pill and fed it to Shen Ge. Under the effect of the pill, his complexion improved significantly.

"What do we do now? Since you've already offended those people from the Spirit Moon Sect, why don't we just retreat? We've already gained enough, after all?"

"Yes, Brother Shen, although those people stopped the elders of the Spirit Moon Sect for you, they won't stand up for you again after they've taken all those broken Spirit Moon Sect. I also think it's best to leave as soon as possible," Lü Yang added, offering his advice.

"Leave?" Shen Ge shook his head and said, "That won't do. What if they find something else good? I'll make sure they don't take a single good thing with them!"

At this moment, a figure appeared on the rooftop of a ruined building not far from Shen Ge and his companions, cupping his hands in a gesture of respect towards Shen Ge and saying, "Fellow Daoist, thank you for your help this time. As a token of my gratitude, I would like to offer you some advice: Do not let greed cloud your judgment, and leave immediately, for a great calamity may be brewing here."

"Brother Zhang Hao, could you please elaborate?" Shen Ge gently pushed Li Xue aside, stood up, and returned the greeting.

"It's nothing, I just speculate that the mastermind behind the destruction of this sect might still have remnants. If they are released, the consequences are unimaginable."

After saying that, Zhang Hao cupped his hands in a respectful gesture and then began to fly towards the exit.

To escape the Sea Demon Sect, one must go to the central formation and use a disciple's token to wait a few breaths before being able to leave. Although it doesn't take much time, in a desperate situation, that short time could cost countless lives.

"What are you thinking? Are you going to continue?" Li Xue turned to Shen Ge, who was frowning, and asked.

Shen Ge hesitated for a moment, glanced in the direction of the Alchemy Chamber, and then said in a deep voice, "Sister Xue, Brother Lü, you two can go first. I'll stay here and keep an eye on them. I said they couldn't bring back any good stuff, and they can't bring back a single one!"

"I knew you'd say that," Li Xue said with a light smile. "Fine, I'll stay with you and keep looking. Otherwise, in your condition, you might not even be able to get back to shore safely."

"Lü Yang, you should leave first. Among the three of us, you are the weakest. If anything unexpected happens, you might be the one in the most danger. Besides, you haven't even obtained Law Treasure yet, so your combat strength is really lacking." Li Xue looked at Lü Yang beside her and said seriously.

Lü Yang thought for a moment and realized that he really couldn't be of much help. He could probably only stand aside and make up the numbers, so he shook hands with a slightly awkward expression.

Why do I feel like I've been abandoned?

Shen Ge looked at Lü Yang solemnly and said, "Brother Lü, we have absolutely no intention of looking down on you. It's just that Sister Xue is right. Right now, your strength is the weakest, and it's really not suitable for you to stay any longer. Besides, even if Sister Xue had kept me, she wouldn't have let me get involved in my affairs with the Spirit Moon Sect. She only escorted me back to shore at the last moment."

Lü Yang nodded and smiled, "Brother Shen, that's not what I meant."

Shen Ge smiled and nodded in return, saying, "I know you didn't mean that, Brother Lü. Brother Lü I haven't known you for long, I know Brother Lü 're a trustworthy and worthy friend. I'm only advising you out of friendship. If it were anyone else, I'd be happy to keep them around as my henchmen."

After saying that, Shen Ge took out the forepaw of the mantis Demon Beast he had previously obtained and handed it to Lü Yang: "This is for you, Brother Lü. After all, Sister Xue and I already have Law Treasure. Take this and refine one when you have time. Sometimes you'll suffer a great loss if you don't have a Law Treasure."

Lü Yang nodded, and without any pretense, put it away. Then he cupped his hands and said, "Brother Shen, Sister Xue, I was planning to have a short get-together at my cave abode after you come out. But this matter delayed me, so I'll make it up to you afterward."

"Okay, we'll come, but I won't eat anything you prepare if it doesn't suit my taste," Li Xue joked.

"No, no."

Shen Ge handed one of the three fragments of the medicinal pills he had snatched to Lü Yang: "This is my spoils from just now. I said we'd split it equally, so don't refuse."

Lü Yang gave a wry smile, accepted the gift, nodded to the two of them, and then flew towards the center, soon teleporting out of the Sea Demon Sect.
