It Was Still There, but Why Was It So Small? Could It Still Be Used?!

Swish, swish, swish.

Suddenly, a light appeared.

The talisman was directly activated by him and headed towards Lu Changzhi's location.

At the same time, the array plate unfolded, transforming into a defensive measure that enveloped Luo Zhen, forming a double layer of defense together with the airship's defenses.

"So you've actually chosen to make a move?"

Beneath the cloak, Lu Changzhi's expression shifted slightly.

However, it must be said that the grade of this talisman is quite high.

But for him, who is now at the Saint Realm, he is not weak, but that's about it.

At that moment, Lu Changzhi slightly raised his arm, intending to suppress the power of the talisman.

Suddenly, a wave surged from his body and headed towards Luo Zhen's location.

As the wave passed, the talisman, along with the power it contained, suddenly exploded, and then the airship's defenses, the airship itself, the array plate, and even Luo Zhen's clothes Tongtong burst apart.

"This?"

This situation surprised even Lu Changzhi.

This wasn't done by him.

At this moment, the system's voice sounded:

"As Luo Zhen's Gardener, Master, Luo Zhen has now shown great disrespect to you, and I have punished you to help you focus on your cultivation. You have also obtained one of Luo Zhen's current possessions: a storage ring."

Upon hearing this, Lu Changzhi understood.

Unexpectedly, the system acted first.

"However, they actually managed to steal Luo Zhen's storage ring again?"

Lu Changzhi found it amusing; the last time he received Luo Zhen's storage ring was not long ago.

Of course, now is clearly not the time to look at the storage ring.

Regaining his composure, Lu Changzhi looked toward Luo Zhen's location.

At this moment, the airship exploded, turning into large fragments that fell downwards.

Luo Zhen's body was still suspended in mid-air. With his clothes ripped apart, he was completely naked.

However, at first glance, Lu Changzhi's gaze couldn't help but linger on Luo Zhen's philtrum, and he was surprised.

"That's all?"

Some of it is even quite unbelievable.

This situation likely means that, despite seeing you grow up over the years, the most important place for you is still your childhood.

At this moment, Luo Zhen, who had experienced many great changes, also came to his senses. As if realizing something, he suddenly looked down.

At first glance, I breathed a sigh of relief.

Some things seem to have suddenly gone missing, but thankfully, they're still here.

Upon looking at it a second time, suddenly, it was as if thunder had exploded in Luo Zhen's mind, with a deafening roar.

Yes, yes, how come it's so small?

This still works?!

"What... what have you done to me?!"

Luo Zhen spoke up in anger without thinking.

No sooner had the words left his mouth than the voice of the cloaked figure rang out again.

"A disciple of the Five Symbols Sect, right?"

At the same time, the oppressive aura intensified.

Luo Zhen's expression suddenly changed, as if he realized his current predicament.

Immediately, he had to find a way to obtain the necessary resources from the storage ring.

The next moment, his expression changed drastically once again.

Even the storage ring exploded!

I'm empty-handed again!

A feeling of despair suddenly washed over me like a tidal wave.

However, his reaction was indeed quick; without any hesitation, he decisively knelt down in mid-air with a thud.

"Senior, this is a misunderstanding!"

"This junior is not a disciple of the Five Symbols Sect. I said so earlier, but I only wanted to use the Five Symbols Sect's identity for convenience."

The voice was hurried, but it went straight to the important matter.

"Real?"

As the sound rang out, attention fell on Luo Zhen, causing his body to tense up.

Luo Zhen, however, struggled to raise his head and looked at the cloaked figure, his expression resolute:

"Senior, I swear that my oath is absolutely true."

After a pause, Luo Zhen added:

"A small sect like the Five Symbols Sect, daring to provoke a senior, is doomed to die."

As the sound faded, silence fell over the void for a moment.

In Luo Zhen's heart, besides nervousness, there was also a hint of regret.

Why did I even come to the Five Symbols Sect? Now look what's happened! I've just entered a pack of wolves, and now I'm in the jaws of a tiger. Not only is my newly acquired storage ring gone, but even the Daniao...

There was a hint of fear mixed with regret.

It wasn't because of the opponent's strength, but because of their methods.

That's so weird!

If I can escape today, I must get as far away from the Five Symbols Sect as possible; this place is simply too unlucky for me!

"Since you are not a disciple of the Five Symbols Sect, your death sentence can be waived."

The sound rang out again.

Luo Zhen immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

But what followed startled him once again.

"However, if you dare to lay a hand on me, you will not escape punishment."

Brush.

A flash of light.

A long, thick leather whip, its surface gleaming black, was divided into regular sections with raised and recessed features, giving it a dangerous and cold feel.

Looking at the large leather whip, in an instant, Luo Zhen's mind flashed back to that day with Liu Qingyan...

Suddenly, a sense of apprehension arose inexplicably in my heart.

So long, so thick, so many segments, it'll die...

Just as he was thinking this, he saw the cloaked figure flick his arm.

The large leather whip suddenly flew out on its own, arrived behind Luo Zhen, and then lashed down sharply.

Snap!

The sound of wind breaking through the air mingled with the sound of flesh hitting flesh.

Luo Zhen's body trembled, and he let out a loud howl.

It hurts, it hurts terribly.

And it wasn't a sharp pain, but rather a maddening kind of pain.

Even the torment I suffered before pales in comparison to this pain.

Clap clap clap!

The whip did not stop; it paused briefly, but continued to lash.

Lu Changzhi also noticed Luo Zhen's physical reactions.

It must be said that this large leather whip, worthy of its use in punishment, is indeed unique.

With an ordinary whip, such a blow could easily tear the skin, break bones and tendons, and could even be fatal on the spot.

At present, it only left a red mark on Luo Zhen's body, without even damaging his bones and muscles.

In contrast, Luo Zhen's reaction suggests that the pain from that whip was indeed considerable.

Clap clap clap

After a few more lashes, Lu Changzhi put the large leather whip away.

It's not that it's enough.

Instead, Luo Zhen's reaction changed somewhat.

Whether it was the pain driving him to madness or the anger fueling his competitive spirit, Luo Zhen's slightly distorted expression somehow conveyed a sense of "Come on, keep going."

This made Lu Changzhi wary.

That's about enough for now; we can't continue.

After all, all he wanted to do was send Luo Zhen away. If he accidentally caused Luo Zhen to develop some bad habits, that would be...

Qin Han, skilled in administering medicine, Qin Jiuxiao, adept at using tools, both have to have at least one decent person among their "leeks" (victims).

At that moment, Lu Changzhi spoke up:

"Let's leave it at that. Let's go."

As soon as the voice faded, Lu Changzhi's figure disappeared.

Luo Zhen stood there for a while before struggling to get up.

Despite being whipped several times, he was still able to stand up.

He glanced in the direction of the Five Symbols Sect, then clenched his fist, veins bulging on his forehead, his expression extremely displeased.

If I hadn't planned to come to the Five Symbols Sect, I wouldn't have been so unlucky as to run into them.

Having lost my storage ring and suffered further hardship, my heart is bleeding!

Taking a deep breath, Luo Zhen quickly descended and then ran towards the outside of the Five Symbols Sect.

Lu Changzhi secretly observed for a moment, confirming that Luo Zhen had indeed changed his destination, before turning his attention to another place.

It seems we'll have to find another place to stay temporarily.

If it weren't for Luo Zhen, he would have lived in Wangxi City.

Now that we've left, let's move to a different city. Let's find a city near Qin Jiuxiao's opportunity to settle down.

In the past, we saw Qin Han heroically rescue a damsel in distress; now, we see a damsel in distress rescuing a hero at Qin Jiuxiao's place.

Upon realizing this, Lu Changzhi shook his head and chuckled softly:

"My few stalks of chives have had quite a colorful history."
