So It Was Her!
This was the first time Sang Ying had seen Jiang Zhuoxue's expression change. Perhaps it was because he had been locked up in the dark cave at the bottom of the cliff for too long, which made his skin naturally fair and radiant.
Now that her face has lost all color, she looks even paler.
Sang Ying noticed the problem at a glance. "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
This man rarely showed any signs of weakness or distress to others. Even when he was trapped before, he still had the upper hand against Sang Ying.
Sang Ying felt somewhat uncomfortable seeing him like this.
"I'm fine." Jiang Zhuoxue shook her head and smiled at her.
He was simply reminded of his past when he saw that tooth.
Those people were still not satisfied after taking his scales and horns. So they set their sights on his teeth, but their methods were mediocre and they were unable to break the dragon's teeth at all.
In order to squeeze every last drop of value out of him, they eventually pulled out their own teeth from the root.
At that time, Jiang Zhuoxue originally thought that he was no longer in pain, but the moment his tooth was pulled out, he realized that pain is something you can't get used to.
The pain seemed to linger in his hands and feet, but suddenly a warm hand reached out and gently placed on his wrist.
"How are you feeling? If you're really in pain, I'll take you away from here." Sang Ying looked at Jiang Zhuoxue with a serious expression in her eyes.
Anyway, this treasure viewing event has nothing to do with them, so no one will care even if they leave halfway through.
However, Jiang Zhuoxue will probably have to put in some effort to get this tooth back.
Jiang Zhuoxue did not agree, only saying that she remembered some old things. The two of them stayed in the main hall and carefully admired the treasures on display.
Previously, Sect Master Wu's private treasury had been completely emptied by Jiang Zhuoxue. What is now on display are probably treasures from the Limitless Sect or other elders.
They went to great lengths to catch Jiang Zhuoxue, this big fish.
With Sang Ying providing cover, Jiang Zhuoxue successfully scouted the location. To create a favorable environment for Jiang Zhuoxue's theft, the Limitless Sect extended the treasure viewing event by two days and publicly stated that the treasures in the main hall would not be taken back even at night.
While praising Sect Master Wu's magnanimity along with the others, Sang Ying secretly laughed at their naivety.
As expected, this treasure-viewing event with ulterior motives was forced to stop on the second day after only one day. The night before, a daring thief had appeared out of nowhere and stolen everything from the main hall!
This person came and went without a sound. Even though the Limitless Sect had already deployed many people around, they not only failed to capture the person, but also couldn't even catch a glimpse of him.
That night, Sang Ying touched the pile of treasures Jiang Zhuoxue had brought her, and realized that her several Storage Bag were almost not enough.
The good things the Jimo Household gave her in the past alone filled half of her Storage Bag, and later there were also apologies from cultivators from the Black Tortoise Realm.
Now that Jiang Zhuoxue has robbed the Limitless Sect twice, her purse is bulging and can't hold any more.
The two discussed it and decided that once they returned to the Immortal Spirit Realm, they would secretly sell off the things they no longer needed.
While the atmosphere on Sang Ying's side was harmonious and pleasant, the situation on Sect Master Wu's side was quite different.
Only one lamp was lit in the small room, barely illuminating the faces of the people around. Sect Master Wu sat in the main seat, his brows furrowed, his expression unusually grim.
"Sect Leader, you have to give us an explanation for this!" Seeing that the others remained silent, someone finally couldn't hold back any longer.
He listened to the sect leader's words and took out several of his treasures to support him. Who would have thought that the dragon would not only take away the dragon tooth, but also take away the treasures he had worked so hard to obtain!
The person the sect leader sent couldn't even touch the hem of the other person's clothes.
This was completely different from what they had imagined, and the elders simply couldn't accept it.
If things continue like this, even if they give away all their resources, it will only benefit the dragon for nothing!
The elders were all feeling down, and Sect Master Wu was no better off.
He had worked hard to obtain the dragon tooth, hoping to use it to capture the dragon in one fell swoop, but instead ended up losing both his money and his life.
Now that several elders are very unhappy, how can he possibly be happy?
"Junior brothers, don't worry, I will definitely get these treasures back for you. It's just that the evil dragon is really cunning, and it has escaped from my grasp several times. Rest assured, once we finally catch that evil dragon, I will definitely not let you suffer any losses." This was Sect Master Wu's guarantee, and also his way of reassuring them.
For the sake of their shared future interests, the elders temporarily suppressed their anger and reluctantly believed Sect Master Wu's explanation.
In order not to embarrass the Limitless Sect at this treasure viewing event, everyone had no choice but to bring out a few more good items and put them in the main hall overnight.
No sooner had Sect Master Wu seen off the elders than he instructed his disciples to obtain a list of those who had left the banquet on the day of the event.
Looking along the path, Sect Master Wu's gaze lingered briefly on the name "Sang Ying": "How long was she gone?"
Upon hearing this, his disciple quickly recalled for a moment, then replied, "It seems that in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, this young lady went out with her male lover to do something."
The disciple, unsure of his master's thoughts, could only recount what he had seen that night.
The time it takes to drink a cup of tea is far too short for Sang Ying to do anything, but for some reason, Sect Master Wu became suspicious of her.
He hadn't forgotten that it was this woman who had inexplicably entered the small barrier in the Hidden Moon Forest and survived. Many Nascent Spirit Transformation and Soul Leaving Stage cultivators had perished inside, but she was the only one who survived and, by a twist of fate, saved the Black Tortoise Realm.
"Could such a coincidence really happen?" Sect Master Wu simply didn't believe that an ordinary Golden Core cultivator could possess such abilities.
After a moment of silence, until the sect leader's disciples all showed expressions of fear, Sect Master Wu slowly spoke, "I remember there seems to be a Dragon Breath Pearl in the sect's treasury?"
The disciple was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.
He still remembered this thing; it was won back from a secret realm by a disciple of the sect in the early years. It was said to be able to detect the aura of dragons, and the bead would turn from transparent to gray whenever it encountered Dragon Race or anything related to Dragon Race.
The disciple felt there was no use for it, so he sold it to the sect for a thousand mid-grade Spirit Stone. It's currently gathering dust in the treasury.
"Why did Master suddenly think of this?" the disciple asked, puzzled.
But Sect Master Wu clearly had no intention of answering his question, "You don't need to worry about it, just find the thing for me, and then..."
Their subsequent words were swallowed by the darkness of the room; apart from the master and apprentice, no one knew what they had whispered about.
The next day, just as Sang Ying and Jiang Zhuoxue were about to go and see how Wu Sect Master Wu and the others would make a fool of themselves, a transparent bead rolled to her feet from who-knows-where as soon as Sang Ying stepped into the main hall.
Sang Ying glanced at it curiously, and was about to reach out to pick it up when she discovered that the originally transparent bead had slowly turned into a grayish blob.
Hidden in the shadows, Sect Master Wu watched this scene, his facial muscles twitching as he revealed a twisted smile.
It was you, just as I suspected!
