Chapter Eighty-four Betrayal
"Ah!"
The woman in blue was punched in the face, instantly turning her nose and face purple. She fell to the ground, begging for mercy: "Fellow Taoist, I was wrong, spare me... let me do whatever you want..." Her voice was hoarse, yet still carried a hint of seduction.
The short man scolded: "Lv Shimei, are you going to surrender to this evil...?" Before he could finish speaking, a black stick hit his head, and he suddenly felt stars in front of his eyes, the sky spinning and the earth turning, and with a thud, he fell to the ground.
It turned out that Luo Yu took advantage of his distraction and approached him quietly. With one stick, he knocked him unconscious.
Three people fainted, one person kowtowed to beg for mercy, and the remaining four people wanted to fight but couldn't win; they wanted to escape, but there was still a strange plant beside them staring fiercely.
The four of them looked at each other and begged for mercy in unison: "Fellow Taoist, it's our fault for being blind to your presence. We offended you, please forgive us. We can give you all our storage bags."
Luoyu slung the Golden Cudgel over his shoulder, one hand on his hip, and laughed loudly: "What's wrong? Don't want to fight anymore? You guys don't get a say in this, it all depends on whether my Golden Cudgel agrees or not!" The whole scene looked just like Sun Wukong.
Luoyu felt a great relief in her heart, this sentence she had long wanted to say, now finally found an opportunity.
"Lv Shi Mei, can't you see? He won't let us go!" the short male cultivator shouted loudly.
"Lü Shī Mèi" raised her head and glanced at Luò Yù, seeing that the other party didn't even glance at herself. She knew her charming eyes were wasted on a blind person. However, knowing that continuing to fight would lead to certain death, it was better to beg for mercy.
"Fellow traveler, I was coerced by them and didn't truly intend to rob you. If you don't believe me, I can help you deal with them."
As she spoke, she pulled out a red rope and faced the four people in front of her, completely exposing her back to Luo Yu.
She has vision and charisma, this woman is quite impressive! Luo Yu secretly praised her. Being able to put aside her pride like that, and change strategy immediately after discovering it was ineffective, handing her back over to the enemy who had just been shouting and killing, wasn't something an ordinary person could do.
"You shameless woman, a few days ago when you begged us to take you in, why didn't you say that we coerced you? You damn...!"
The man opposite was scolding and cursing, his words venomous, but the female cultivator didn't utter a word, standing straight and tall in front of the four people, her spiritual energy pouring into the red silk, secretly on guard.
"Scram! Don't interfere with my fight!" Luo Yu rebuked impatiently.
"Thank you, fellow Taoist!" The female cultivator was overjoyed, her face filled with gratitude, and quickly flashed to the side.
"Everyone, let's go all out against him!" A burly man shouted loudly, threw out a thunderbolt bomb, immediately stuck on a divine movement symbol, and turned around to escape.
"Ah! Fan Cheng, you son of a bitch, where are you throwing thunderbolt?"
Fan Cheng's fingers moved slightly, and Luo Yu had a premonition. How could he let it get close, but instead, the black-faced male cultivator who was following his orders to attack Luo Yu was affected by the ripple.
"Son of a turtle, you actually took the opportunity to escape, I'm going to... Ah!" The black-faced man was knocked to the ground and before he could get up, a giant boulder fell from the sky with a loud crash, completely knocking him out.
The other two were unwilling to follow in his footsteps, and they all took out their ultimate moves. Symbols flew wildly, magical instruments exploded, and various spiritual lights flashed about, thundering loudly. However, this was just their final struggle. When the dust settled, Luo Yu appeared before them like a ghost, striking twice with her staff. The two men's heads cracked open, bleeding profusely as they fell to the ground, unconscious.
As for Fan Cheng's escape, Luo Yu didn't bother because she had confidence in Hong Yu's strength.
Sure, here is the translation:
As expected, once the battle on her side was over, Hongmi threw over three withered human-shaped creatures, among whom was Fan Cheng.
Luo Yu rummaged through the storage bags of seven people and glanced at the female cultivator: "Do you know what to do now?"
"I know." The woman nodded, drew a dagger from her waist, took two steps forward to Tian Wenguang's front, revealed a cruel expression, and swung the knife to behead him.
"Wait a minute—" Luo Yu Bai gave her a glance, "Who said you could kill them?"
Nü Xiū was taken aback, her face filled with doubt: "Are you going to let them go? But this will bring you trouble. Moreover, in the secret realm, life and death are determined by heaven, and everyone is not allowed to bring their grudges outside of the secret realm. This is a rule that both the sect and the aristocratic families tacitly agree on."
"That's just on the surface, can't others make a sneak attack? Alright, I didn't say not to kill them, but they can't die at my hands. Of course, for your safety, it's best if they don't die at your hands either. 15 miles north, there is a golden-haired tiger that just gave birth, you can send them to its den and be done with it. If you get swallowed by it in one bite, then I overestimated you." Luo Yu looked at the female cultivator with a hint of a smile.
The nun nodded in gratitude, and the red ribbon suddenly stretched out like a red wave, flipping over several times, tying up the living dead on the ground tightly.
"Thank you, fellow Taoist, for sparing my life!" The female cultivator bowed deeply, "Rest assured, I will handle this matter properly."
"Go!" Luo Yu waved her hand. "You can't handle it? Don't worry, I'm still here. Why would I leave myself with hidden dangers?"
The woman hesitated for a moment, her eyes cast downward, like a delicate water lily: "After I've taken care of this matter, can I come back and find you? In the vast secret realm, as a lone female cultivator, I'll inevitably encounter all sorts of dangers... I, I want to follow by your side."
"What's next?" Luo Yu sneered, "Waiting for you to strike back?" Although I admire your ruthless and thick-skinned nature, and am willing to let you off the hook, it doesn't mean I'm willing to have a venomous snake by my side.
"No!" The female cultivator hastily shook her head, her face flushing red with anxiety: "I'm just a loose cultivator, on the third day of entering the secret realm I met them, they had a sinister glint in their eyes, clearly not having good intentions. Before they robbed me, I proactively handed over my storage bag and asked to join them, seeking protection... Just now when they wanted to rob you, I was powerless..."
"Alright, you handle this first!" Luo Yu turned her back on him.
The nun sighed and pulled the red silk northward.
Half a time later, when she returned to this place, she found a storage bag on the ground, but there was no one in sight.
The woman picked up her luggage bag without checking it and bowed slightly towards the front before turning around and leaving.
Half a time ago, Luo Yu stuck the hidden breath mark and followed all the way. From afar, she saw the golden-haired tiger swallow 7 people, so she took Hong Mi and left. As for that storage bag, it was something she had left there early on.
"It's issued! It's issued!" Luo Yu stared at the spiritual stone in front of her, her eyes shining brightly. Indeed, "A horse never gets fat without nighttime grass, a person never gets rich without unexpected wealth."
There are two top-grade spirit stones, over 500 mid-grade spirit stones, tens of thousands of low-grade spirit stones, various spiritual herbs and medicines, as well as some star iron essence and other minerals. Who knows how many cultivators they have robbed?
At this time, she and Hongmi were inside a giant tree, which was already hollowed out, with an area of about five square meters. Luo Yu had placed several moonstones inside, illuminating the rough tree walls.
This hollow tree was found by Hongmi, it is an ancient magical plant, with natural dominance and insight over these plants.
