When their sects find out about this, the elders might blame them.
"No need to rush. The treasure will be in the hands of the one destined to have it. Su Yi may be strong, but that item may not necessarily belong to him."
Beside them, another disciple of the Mad Blade Sect comforted their comrade and while also trying to comfort themselves. Their gaze shifted as they saw the flying demon beast already carrying three people and landing in a nearby mountain peak.
It was when Su Yi, accompanied by representatives from the two sects, found this broken mountain gate that Hong Jianqiu had gathered seven or eight disciples from the Tiangang Sect. They were moving as a single unit.
Soon, they discovered that people from the Crazy Knife Sect and the Juetian Sect were hastily leaving. Taking advantage of their overwhelming strength, Hong Jianqiu got news of the appearance of a precious treasure after questioning a few of them,.
"Let's not worry about Su Yi for now. Let's see what this treasure is. Whatever it is, the Tiangang Sect must obtain it." Hong Jianqiu's face was filled with confidence, exuding a heroic aura.
Something that would make disciples from two major sects to exert their full powers; it wasn't some ordinary treasure.
The Tiangang Sect is a second-rate force, while the Juetian Sect and the Crazy Knife Sect are third-rate forces. They would never be able to obtain such a treasure. Even if they were to snatch it first, they would have no choice but to give it up obediently in the end. With this mindset, Hong Jianqiu and his group set off.
However, unlike Su Yi, they couldn't catch a flying demon beast to travel. So their speed was much slower, having to cross mountains and valleys."Lei Quan, what are you looking for here?"
Su Yi, Yu Wenxuan, and Lin Bingyao landed on a mountain peak. After jumping off the back of the scary monster, Yu Wenxuan asked a young man wearing purple clothes.
"Yu Wenxuan, Lin Bingyao, Su… Su Yi…" The young man in purple clothes was surprised to see the sudden arrival of the three. His eyes bore astonishment.
He was a powerful disciple of the Juetian Sect. The people under his guidance came here due to his instructions, in hopes of finding a treasure.
"Have you found any treasure here? It seems like it's not easy for you to find it. How about we join forces?" Lin Bingyao looked at the man in purple clothes, Lei Quan, and smiled softly.
Her beautiful eyes scanned the surroundings. Several disciples of Juetian Sect were searching the ruins carefully, looking for something.
"We did find some traces of something, but it's difficult to catch. That's why I gathered all the disciples here. However, it seems challenging to find it anytime soon."
Listening to Yu Wenxuan and Lin Bingyao, Lei Quan shook his head and said, "Let's not join forces. Since you're here, let's each search on our own. As for who will finally get the treasure, it depends on our fate."
After speaking, he looked away and gave Su Yi a deep glance before leaping away to continue searching. Su Yi couldn't help but cock an eyebrow at the young man's behavior.
This person seemed quite open-minded and didn't seem to mind even if someone else ended up with the treasure in the end.
"It's probably not that simple," Su Yi thought, rubbing his chin.
"It seems like they're searching for a treasure that is in this area. The Juetian Sect searched this mountain peak, while the Wild Blade Sect searched the other peaks."
Yu Wenxuan's sharp eyes spotted something happening on another mountain peak nearby. There were several figures moving in and out of the collapsed mountain gate.
"These two groups are traveling together but searching separately. It can only mean that the treasure is not in one fixed location. I'm intrigued about what kind of thing it is. Can it really move on its own?" Lin Bingyao whispered.
"Why don't we split up too? That way, we'll stand a better chance. Just like what Lei Quan said, in the end, it all depends on fate." Su Yi thought for a moment and said to Yu Wenxuan and Lin Bingyao beside him.
"Okay!" The two of them nodded.
Su Yi hurried off and began searching. Yu Wenxuan and Lin Bingyao also separated and went to different places.
"What kind of treasure can run?" Su Yi walked along the ruined buildings, pondering it.
Things that can move freely, apart from humans and demon beasts, are either objects with intelligence or high-quality spiritual medicines like Blood Spiritual Ginseng. Lei Quan from Juetian Sect didn't explain in detail earlier, but Su Yi felt that the possibility of the latter was more likely. ℞𝘈ƝȪ𝐁ƐŜ
As he searched, Su Yi also noticed that there were traces of human activity in these ruined buildings. Unfortunately, they weren't recent. It was obvious that members of the alliance had already explored this place. If there was anything valuable, its probably been taken already.
After searching for two hours, Su Yi found nothing. People looked in other places, but everyone grew impatient because they didn't have any news.
"The news should be true, but the treasure is hidden well, making it difficult to find any traces." Su Yi frowned and thought to himself.
If they couldn't confirm the truth of the news, the Juetian Sect and the Wild Blade Gate wouldn't have gathered all the disciples from the sects only to ignore the other benefits of this place. But if they continued searching like this, they didn't know when they would make any progress.
"Let's search for a while longer, and if there's still no sign, we'll leave first."
Su Yi thought for a moment and made the final decision not to waste any more time here. He cheered up and started walking around the mountain peak.
Suddenly, a flash of light and shadow streaked past him, from the corner ahead, swiftly diving into a ruined palace and disappearing.
"Hmm?" Su Yi' spirits lifted, a hint of joy on his face.
"Could it be…"
Without thinking, he also rushed into the dilapidated palace. The light and shadow just now was not very big, only about the size of two fists, emitting a faint glow.
Su Yi couldn't see its exact appearance, but the general outline seemed to resemble a small demon beast.
"It's likely that this is the treasure they've been searching for!" Su Yi exclaimed with immense delight.
However, he couldn't be sure at the moment what kind of object it was that those young disciples valued so much. This question could only be answered after Su Yi had a clear idea of its specific appearance.
"Where did you run off to?"
In a dark and dilapidated grand hall, beams of light shone through the broken parts, making it somewhat visible. Su Yi suppressed all his breath and floated in the empty space one foot above the ground without making a sound.
After entering the grand hall quietly, he looked around. Suddenly, in a corner, a small head popped out, resembling a fluffy little cat with a dim glow.
Upon seeing Su Yi, the pair of gleaming eyes on the little head widened in surprise, then quickly retreated back into the corner.
"That is…"
Su Yi was momentarily stunned. He had just caught a glimpse of that light and shadow, and it turned out to be a strange little creature with a tiger-like head. Very peculiar indeed.
"Not like a demon beast, but there is a hint of a demonic presence."
After a quick glance, he sensed some lingering presence. Su Yi realized that the creature he saw earlier was not a real demon beast. What's strange is that it also had the aura of a supernatural creature, which is quite contradictory.
"Could it be…?" Su Yi was startled as he remembered something important.
"An Item Spirit! It's highly likely that it's an Item Spirit! I wonder which powerful weapon it originated from!"
Su Yi knew that weapons are classified as: Yuan Weapon, Xuan Weapon, Spirit Weapon, Dao Tool, Dharma Tool, Sacred Tool, and Divine Artifact.
Among the commonly seen weapons, there are hardly any Item Spirits. Only when a weapon reaches an extremely high level can it potentially give birth to an Item Spirit. Additionally, if a powerful soul is intentionally captured and infused into a weapon, it can also form an Item Spirit.
Regardless of the method, both types required one common condition: the object carrying them must be sufficiently powerful. Else, it would not be able to contain a soul, even if it's not a very powerful one. In other words, having a weapon with an Item Spirit is an extremely rare treasure.
"No wonder it has attracted so much attention from the Mad Knife Gate and Juetian Sect!"
Su Yi was filled with joy. If there really was a powerful Dharma Tool or even a Sacred Tool in this secret realm, then this trip would not have been in vain!
Watching the Item Spirit Beast retract its head, Su Yi was not willing to let it escape so easily.
"Don't run, quickly take me to find your host body!"
Su Yi chased after it with excitement.
However, that little creature was extremely agile. It quickly disappeared from a small hole, leaving Su Yi unable to even see its other parts clearly.
"Can't let it get away!"
Su Yi struck with a palm, blasting a big hole in the damaged palace wall and quickly following up. But the little creature moved so fast that its figure turned into a blur, moving like traces of lightning.
Su Yi's cultivation, coupled with the wind attribute energy and the Hundred Transformations Step technique, still couldn't catch up.
In the blink of an eye, the little creature had leaped tens of yards away, avoiding corners and small holes. It made Su Yi anxious.
"No time to think about!"
Since Su Yi had already spotted this Item Spirit Beast, he definitely wouldn't let it go.
Whenever the little creature turned a corner, Su Yi would strike with a beam of light, the tremendous force shattering all the debris and rocks in his path.
This way, he barely managed to keep up with the little creature, not being left too far behind at once.
