Chapter 1110: Forbidden Treasure!

Tang Li Xue sighed helplessly as her perfect copy became even greedier and more reckless.

However, Tang Li Xue also knew that she needed a lot of resources to feed Little Loki, Lucia, Yaya, and the Ghost Army living inside Xi’er’s [Sword of Disaster].

Even though she seemed to have a lot of resources right now from Grandmaster Nie Jun’s inheritance, the loot from half of the Great Wei Dynasty’s Imperial Treasury, and the rich rewards from the Huang Dynasty’s Desert Patrol Captain, but they were actually consumed very rapidly every day.

Especially, Little Loki, who never knows how to restrain itself. The resources it consumed every day were astronomical!

If she did not take this chance to ’borrow’ some ’funds’ from these cultivators, all of their cultivation resources, spirit stones, Yuan Coins, and so on would probably be completely exhausted before they could even reach the Central Continent!

"Urgh, it is really hard for a single mother to raise so many children..." Tang Li Xue rubbed her forehead while muttering helplessly.

Meanwhile, the battle between Lu Xingzhen, Gu Fanghai, and Shui Donghai had become even more fierce and brutal.

Even their subordinates began to join the fight in order to help their leader to grab the Travel Permit Badges.

Not to mention, there were also many greedy cultivators who jumped in and tried to take that chance to steal the Travel Permit Badges.

The situation had become so messy and chaotic that no one could tell which ones were friends and which ones were enemies.

Little Loki and Yaya quickly took this opportunity to sneak among them in the stealth state and stole their spatial treasures.

Just like before, Yaya speedily helped Little Loki to loot all the spatial treasures, then she would give all the spatial treasures to Little Loki, so Little Loki could store all the spatial treasures in its [Temporal Storage].

Their teamwork seemed to be more and more seamless.

With Yaya’s high speed plus Little Loki’s rapid [Instant Teleportation], they could easily navigate between the cultivators that were pushing and fighting fiercely against each other.

At this rate, this duo might be able to really become a pair of fearsome legendary thieves in the future, who could come to steal anything and go as they pleased!

While Yaya and Little Loki were busy with their own business, Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy and Xi’er were carefully observing the fierce and brutal battle between Lu Xingzhen, Gu Fanghai, and Shui Donghai from afar.

Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy and Xi’er were waiting for the right time when Lu Xingzhen and Shui Donghai were beaten or exhausted, before they would steal their spatial treasures.

After waiting patiently for fifteen minutes or so, like the hunter patiently waiting for their prey to enter their trap, their battle finally reached its climax.

Unsurprisingly, Gu Fanghai and Shui Donghai were gradually losing and being suppressed by Lu Xingzhen.

Of course, it did not mean Gu Fanghai and Shui Donghai were weaker than Lu Xingzhen.

It was mainly because Gu Fanghai and Shui Donghai had already fighting for several hours before, and they had already consumed most of their pills, advanced talismans, treasures, and so on.

Even though Gu Fanghai and Shui Donghai had consumed Energy Recovery Pills and had already rested for an hour or so, but the mental fatigue would still be accumulated.

Especially, Gu Fanghai was the most miserable one among them because he had lost all of his belonging after Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy stole his spatial ring.

Meanwhile, Lu Xingzhen only fought a few battles against weaker opponents before Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy stole the spatial rings from the enemies he defeated, while disguising herself as Gu Fanghai before, so he was basically still at full health when he started to fight against Gu Fanghai and Shui Donghai.

"Err... This does not look too good for us, doesn’t it? Can we really steal that Lu Xingzhen’s spatial treasures if he still has that much energy to spare?" Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy asked doubtfully.

"Well, maybe we should just lend a hand to Gu Fanghai instead? Anyway, we have already gotten his spatial ring. There is nothing more we can take from him, so letting him win would not have much impact on us." The real Tang Li Xue suggested.

"It would be too deliberate if I suddenly helped him. It seems I can only leave the task to help Gu Fanghai to Xi’er." Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy added another suggestion.

"Okay, you can just tell Xi’er about it yourself." Tang Li Xue lazily threw the task to her perfect copy.

Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy rolled her topaz blue eyes, but she hastily activated her [Ethereal Form] and [Void Barrier], then headed closer to Xi’er.

After Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy informed Xi’er about it, Xi’er immediately accepted the task and said confidently: "No problem~! Just leave it to me! I should have already gotten some of Gu Fanghai’s trust after I led him here to find you."

Then Xi’er rushed swiftly toward the battlefield with the pitch-black [Sword of Disaster] in her grasp.

Just when Lu Xingzhen slashed his sword toward Gu Fanghai...

[Sword of Disaster], Shield Form—!

The pitch-black sword in Xi’er’s grasp immediately transformed into a black shield!

CLAAANG—!

Xi’er stood right in front of Gu Fanghai and blocked Lu Xingzhen’s sword with her black shield!

"You..." Gu Fanghai felt moved when he saw Xi’er suddenly appear at the right moment and save his life!

It seemed as if Xi’er’s beautiful, slender figure was added with a dazzling filter in Gu Fanghai’s eyes, like a beautiful heroine in a movie.

"Boss Gu, are you okay?" Xi’er worriedly asked Gu Fanghai.

Xi’er was worried because she did not want to fail the task given to her and disappoint Tang Li Xue.

But Gu Fanghai became even more moved because he thought Xi’er was genuinely worried about him.

"I... I am all right. You... should not come here. It is too dangerous here." Gu Fanghai shyly said to Xi’er.

Xi’er smiled at Gu Fanghai and said in a reassuring tone: "You do not need to worry about me, Boss Gu. I am very tough! Together, we can definitely win against them!"

Xi’er had become even more dazzling and beautiful in Gu Fanghai’s eyes.

Even his heart was beating so fast and uncontrollably as if it would jump out of his chest when he stood so close to Xi’er.

"Watch out, Boss Gu—!" Xi’er raised her pitch-black shield and blocked another attack from Lu Xingzhen!

CLAAANG—!

"Hm? This shield can actually withstand my sword energy twice?! Interesting~! I want to see how many attacks your shield can withstand!" Lu Xingzhen sneered as he unleashed several destructive sword energy slashes to bombard Xi’er’s pitch-black shield!

"Move away!" Gu Fanghai hastily grabbed Xi’er’s arm and pulled her away to avoid Lu Xingzhen’s destructive sword energy bombardment!

BOOM—! BOOM—! BOOM—! BOOM—!

Thanks to Gu Fanghai’s move, both Xi’er and Gu Fanghai managed to avoid Lu Xingzhen’s destructive sword energy bombardment in time.

But after Gu Fanghai hastily pulled Xi’er further away to avoid Lu Xingzhen’s bombardment, their distance became even closer to each other.

"Thank you very much for your help, Boss Gu!" Xi’er gratefully thanked Gu Fanghai with a charming smile on her beautiful face.

Gu Fanghai’s face instantly turned red like a prawn as he quickly released Xi’er’s arm and took several steps back to keep his distance from Xi’er.

Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy, who witnessed everything from afar, squinted her topaz blue eyes in suspicion.

"That Gu Fanghai’s reaction is too strange, right? That expression is similar to when many men look at our true face." Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy said to the real Tang Li Xue through their mind connection.

"Humph~! Change of plan! Now, we will also let that Gu Fanghai be beaten up so badly!" Tang Li Xue replied in an unhappy tone.

"Why?" Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy asked in confusion.

"Because this mom will never let a bad guy like that Gu Fanghai get away with it after he had a bad intention towards my daughter!" Tang Li Xue yelled angrily.

Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy: "?!"

Even as Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy, it was sometimes really hard for her to follow the train of thought of her true self.

Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy stopped paying attention to the real Tang Li Xue’s confusing thought because the battle finally reached the climax as Shui Donghai decided to go all out to take down Lu Xingzhen and Gu Fanghai at once!

"I have grown tired of playing around with you guys!" Shui Donghai said as he took out a strange treasure from his spatial ring.

Gu Fanghai immediately recognized the strange treasure in Shui Donghai’s grasp.

"Soul Devouring Box—! Shui Donghai, have you gone crazy?! How dare you use such a thing?!" Gu Fanghai shouted to Shui Donghai in panic.

Even Lu Xingzhen’s expression turned very solemn as soon as he saw the Soul Devouring Box in Shui Donghai’s hands.

"What is Soul Devouring Box?" Xi’er asked Gu Fanghai curiously.

"Soul Devouring Box is a fearsome forbidden treasure that has been banned for hundreds of years from the Azure Mist Continent." Gu Fanghai began to explain to Xi’er.

"To create it, millions of wronged souls have to be sacrificed. Once the Soul Devouring Box is activated, it will turn this entire city into a dead zone! Everyone living in this city would be killed, except for the owner of the Soul Devouring Box." Gu Fanghai fearfully told Xi’er.
