Stripped of Everything but Their Underpants

The Heavenly Azure Ruins, elsewhere.

"Ahead, there seems to be the scent of spiritual herbs. Have you sensed it?"

"I sensed it too."

"Hurry, hurry, go quickly!"

"What's the rush? We were the first to get in, so it's definitely ours."

As the Azure Cloud Sect disciples talked, they quickly approached each other.

"It's just ahead."

The group's faces were filled with excitement, and they moved even faster.

"It should be..."

The leading boy spoke, but before he could finish, he suddenly froze.

Where the aura of the spiritual fruit emanated, there was a deep pit.

"Damn it, someone beat us to it?!"

The excitement vanished instantly.

"The soil around the pit wasn't dry yet, and the smell hadn't dissipated; it was clearly taken away recently."

"How is that possible? We were the first to come in, and there shouldn't be many people coming from this direction!"

"Who is it?!"

The men's faces were filled with indignation, and their resentment lingered for a long time.

After a long while, someone finally calmed down and said:

"Let's look elsewhere; this is probably just a coincidence."

"That's the only way. I refuse to believe I can keep letting others beat me to it!"

"Gentlemen, would you like to team up?"

In the jungle, two groups met, and a female disciple of the Flower Spirit Sect spoke up:

"We are just a few weak women; we are too vulnerable to danger in a place like this."

"We just encountered a monster, and my sister was injured."

As she spoke, a young girl next to her gently tugged at her clothes.

Her long, snow-white neck, along with her rounded shoulders, was exposed.

There was a scar on his shoulder, neither too big nor too small, just the right size.

On the other side, the four youths from the Mystic One Sect all swallowed hard.

"Young lady, your injuries are truly... no, truly severe. We cultivators cannot stand by and watch you die. The three of you will come with us."

"Yes, yes, yes." Another boy next to him nodded quickly.

"Don't worry, everyone, we'll take good care of you... um, we'll protect you well."

"Look at your behavior."

A young man looked at the three men with disdain, then glanced at them, his face hardening, and said:

"The three of you, we don't hire useless people. If you want to team up with us, you have to be useful, understand?"

Upon hearing this, two of the three women flashed a look of disdain in their eyes.

But with his head slightly lowered, it was difficult to notice.

"Don't worry, young master, we sisters will definitely not be a burden to you."

The boy nodded. "Then let's go together."

Then, the three women followed behind, and the seven of them walked forward.

"Sister Sun, this stinky man is really annoying. Should we take action now?" a woman asked telepathically.

"Hold on for now. They've only been here a short time; they probably haven't found anything yet," another person replied telepathically.

"Let them work for now, and we'll start again when we have more supplies."

The Heavenly Azure Ruins cover a very large area.

Not everyone will participate in the trials left behind by the Saint.

Instead, they started by exploring everywhere in hopes of making a discovery.

The Heavenly Azure Ruins have a rich spiritual energy, providing excellent conditions for the growth of demonic beasts and spiritual herbs and fruits.

Needless to say, demonic beasts, with their demon cores and body parts, are excellent resources for cultivation.

As for elixirs and fruits...

No one can claim to have searched all the Heavenly Azure Ruins.

Not long ago, a descendant of a powerful force was extremely lucky and found a rare herb that was thousands of years old.

Driven by this stimulus, many people immediately began to search around.

Rather than becoming cannon fodder, it's better to gamble on luck and wait for a chance to defy fate.

Search for existing resources.

Competition became inevitable.

Finding something yourself is never as easy as just stealing it.

"Look, it's people from the Five Symbols Sect!"

In the jungle, a disciple of the Azure Cloud Sect's eyes lit up as he pointed into the distance.

The six people nearby all looked over.

"As expected, they're from the Five Symbols Sect. Let me see... Hmm, their cultivation level is no higher than ours."

"They're chatting and laughing like that, they must have found something good. Let's go, let's rob them of it!"

"Should we call someone else nearby to come and help?" one person hesitated for a moment.

No sooner had he finished speaking than someone next to him sneered:

"Are you stupid? If more people come, what will we get? Besides, there are only five of them, they're not even better off than us. You've gone too far!"

"Stop talking nonsense, let's go! Don't forget what the sect leader said: when you encounter disciples of the Five Symbols Sect, don't be polite."

As they spoke, everyone urged their energy and charged towards the disciples of the Five Symbols Sect.

"I have a bad feeling about this."

The person who had just been mocked hesitated for a moment, then sent out a distress call before following up.

"People of the Five Symbols Sect, hand over everything you have on you!"

The seven men, armed with weapons, exuded a powerful aura.

As they spoke, the seven people dispersed.

The Five Symbols Sect members stopped what they were doing, frowned, and looked at the newcomer.

"People from the Azure Cloud Sect?"

Then, all four of them looked at the boy in the lead:

"Senior Brother Zhang, what should we do?"

The young man pondered for a moment and said:

"Run!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, the boy decisively turned and ran.

The other four quickly followed.

"Coward!"

The Azure Cloud Sect members cursed angrily:

"Chase!"

A fierce chase erupted in the jungle.

The distance between the two sides sometimes far and sometimes near.

Go a little faster, and it seems we can catch up.

It's a bit slower, but it doesn't seem to have fallen too far behind.

"Oh shit."

A disciple of the Azure Cloud Sect began to curse:

"Is all you Five Symbols Sect disciples good for is running away?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the five people in front of him suddenly stopped.

"The reverse psychology tactic still works."

The man's eyes lit up, and he hissed:

"Hand over everything now, or you'll face the consequences!"

Upon hearing this, Senior Brother Zhang looked at the other four people and spoke through telepathy:

Be careful what you do, don't reveal your true strength.

At the same time, a rustling sound suddenly came from the surrounding jungle.

The figures of the Five Symbols Sect disciples approached from all sides.

"You!"

The expressions of the seven members of the Azure Cloud Sect changed drastically.

How can there be so many people!

"Damn it, a trap!"

"Don't be afraid, they're not very strong. Fight them!"

At the same time, the voices of the Five Symbols Sect disciples rang out:

"Leave some men to keep watch, don't let them escape."

"Everyone else, let's do it together."

"Dare to steal a disciple of my Five Symbols Sect? I'll strip you naked except for your underwear!"

Immediately, more than a dozen figures rushed forward.

Whether someone is strong or ruthless can only be truly understood through personal experience.

Ping! Bang! Bang!

A series of muffled thuds followed one after another.

A few breaths later.

Seven figures wearing only underwear appeared on the ground.

"Let's tally up the spoils and divide them among ourselves."

A short while later, a slightly disdainful voice rang out:

"This is too poor. Could you bring more next time?"

The seven people on the ground, their faces bruised and swollen, were so angry they turned green with rage.

If we weren't poor, why would I want to rob you guys?!

At this moment, the disciples who were on lookout duty in the distance rushed over.

"These people should call for help; more than a dozen members of the Azure Cloud Sect are on their way."

"What to do?"

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Senior Brother Zhang.

"Knock them out first."

As soon as Senior Brother Zhang spoke, seven muffled thuds sounded, and the seven people fainted.

"Disperse. Continue your individual explorations."

"It's too early. They don't have anything good on them. We can't let them become wary, or they won't fall for our tricks later."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

After activating the techniques to eliminate their presence and traces, the disciples quickly departed.

Peace and tranquility return to the jungle.

In the valley.

The Iron-Armored Brown Ape glanced at the sky, then turned to look at Lu Changzhi and spoke in a deep voice:

Which one should we eat today?
