Spirit Coffin Sect?
Ye Qingchen furrowed his brows. Clearly, this answer had exceeded his expectations.
The shopkeeper hurried to explain.
Only then did Ye Qingchen and Qin Wentian understand the reason:
It turned out, the situation was like this.
In the battle at Xingyue City, Ye Qingchen not only crippled the top ten young experts of the Spirit Coffin Sect, but also crippled many disciples of the Slaughter Hall in Nine Dragon Mountain. After that, he eliminated countless pursuers who chased him.
As a result,
The Spirit Coffin Sect's strength greatly diminished.
In such a situation, the Spirit Coffin Sect naturally had to spend a large sum of money, sending disciples everywhere to gather Heavenly and Earthly Treasures to heal the disciples injured by Ye Qingchen.
Because of this,
All the Spirit Medicine that could heal in Yun Ding City had been almost completely wiped out by the Spirit Coffin Sect.
Ye Qingchen frowned. He didn't expect that the source of the Spirit Grass being wiped out was actually because of him. Yet, he was still a bit unwilling to give up and continued asking:
"In Yun Ding City, is there truly no Spirit Medicine left?"
"As for Spirit Medicine, there are still some. In three days, there will be an auction in the city, and most of the Spirit Medicine on your list will appear there!" the shopkeeper spoke.
"Alright! Then I'll wait for three more days!"
Ye Qingchen nodded.
It was right at this moment.
A commotion suddenly came from a distance. Ye Qingchen looked over and saw a group of people gathered in front of a drugstore, shouting, accompanied by the sound of a young girl crying.
"Again!"
Seeing this scene, the shopkeeper couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
"What's going on?" Qin Wentian interjected, asking.
"Isn't it just those people from the Spirit Coffin Sect?" the shopkeeper glanced at the two puzzled individuals and quickly began to explain: "Since the entire Yun Ding City's Spirit Medicine has been wiped out by them, this group has started targeting Medicine Gatherers, directly snatching Spirit Grass from their hands."
"No one resists?" Ye Qingchen's eyebrows lifted.
"Resist what?"
Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper shook his head with a cold laugh: "These Medicine Gatherers are just ordinary people. Even if someone has some cultivation, what ability and courage do they have to challenge the Spirit Coffin Sect? Having their herbs robbed is a small matter; they might even lose their lives if they're not careful!"
"So that's how it is!"
Ye Qingchen narrowed his eyes, a trace of coldness flashing at the bottom of his eyes.
"These are the Spirit Medicines I painstakingly gathered. You can't just take them!"
In the crowd.
A blue-clothed young girl sat on the ground, her face full of tears, with five fresh red fingerprints from a slap on her cheek.
But she tightly clutched a cloth bundle in her arms, refusing to let go despite the efforts of those in front of her trying to snatch it. "My father is severely ill, waiting for me to sell the Spirit Medicine to exchange for money and bring a doctor..."
"Who said we snatched it? Haven't we already paid you?" a horse-faced disciple sneered.
After he spoke, the face of the blue-clothed girl turned crimson with anger, and she quickly shook her head: "This Spirit Medicine I risked my life to gather, worth at least five thousand taels of silver, and you only give five taels, how is that different from robbery?"
These words caused those around to quietly frown.
It must be known.
The more precious the Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, the more powerful the monsters guarding them. For cultivators, they might not care about those beasts. But for the blue-clothed girl, just an ordinary person, she naturally endured great dangers to acquire it.
Being so blatantly extorted by the Spirit Coffin Sect naturally left the crowd discontented.
"You people are too overbearing!"
At this moment.
In the crowd, a skinny youth couldn't help but chide.
"Oh, there's actually someone who doesn't know better?" The horse-faced disciple sneered, directly moving toward the skinny youth. "When did you get the right to interfere in our Spirit Coffin Sect's matters?"
"What do you want to do?"
Seeing the horse-faced disciple come toward him, the skinny youth's heart sank.
Meanwhile, other Spirit Coffin Sect disciples present watched the scene with folded arms, looking amused as if they were watching a show.
"Don't come any closer!"
The skinny youth shouted, sending a punch directly forward.
This punch, like a cannonball out of the barrel, whistled sharply and even shook the air tremendously.
However.
What greeted him was the horse-faced disciple raising a hand.
Whoa!
This hand raised a wave several meters high. Almost as it formed, it was viciously sent crashing toward the opposite party.
"Boom!"
A muffled sound.
The crowd hadn't even reacted when they saw the skinny youth struck by the wave. Without even having time to scream, he spewed blood wildly, his whole body flying backwards like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily onto the ground.
Hiss, hiss, hiss!
Seeing this, everyone present drew a cold breath.
The Spirit Coffin Sect disciples were truly ruthless!
The other party was just uttering a word and got struck to the point where his life and death were unknown.
At this moment.
The horse-faced disciple turned his gaze toward the blue-clothed girl. As his eyes glanced over her alluring figure, a flash of greed glinted in his eyes.
"Hehe, if you are willing to play with me for a few months, I might as well give you the money to save your father..."
"No way!"
The blue-clothed girl immediately showed a look of fear, quickly attempting to flee.
But alas.
She was already surrounded by the Spirit Coffin Sect disciples, making it impossible for her to escape.
"Hehe, just obey Senior Brother Wang!"
"Indeed, being favored by Senior Brother Wang is a fortune you've cultivated over several lifetimes. Perhaps, we could also have a taste!"
Nearby.
Several Spirit Coffin Sect disciples were also sneering lecherously.
Hearing these words, the onlookers around the scene were all filled with anger. These Spirit Coffin Sect disciples not only robbed others of their Spirit Grass but also dared to openly abduct women in broad daylight, a behavior utterly arrogant and hateful!
However.
They were angry, but none dared to speak.
The skinny youth from before was a skilled hand in the Spirit Sea realm but couldn't withstand a single move from the opposing party. Who among them dared to stand against it? The last person who dared to challenge the Spirit Coffin Sect was Ye Qingchen, who had been chased to Black Abyss City, his fate unknown.
In this situation, who would dare to intervene? Who would dare to step up?
Seeing the Spirit Coffin Sect disciples closing in and the surrounding people with their silent anger, the blue-clothed girl grew paler, retreating continuously. Just as she thought she was at a dead end,
A voice suddenly interrupted:
"Your Spirit Coffin Sect is as shameless as ever!"
The crowd was taken aback by the words.
Turning their heads, they saw a young man in green, standing with his hands behind his back, coldly watching from there.
His eyes were icy cold!
