Hold on, the system and I have never been angry

"Yes, yes." The woman's eyes suddenly filled with tears, and she took out a piece of floral cloth: "This is the pillowcase my daughter sleeps on every day. Do you think it's okay to use it?"

Rong Ying took the flowered cloth, sniffed it gently, and then took out a piece of talisman paper from his sleeve. He gently stroked the talisman paper with his finger, and the talisman paper suddenly ignited a faint blue flame. He placed the flowered cloth above the flame, and the flame instantly devoured the flowered cloth, turning into a wisp of green smoke, curling up. Seeing this, he nodded slightly: "The tracking talisman has taken effect. Following this wisp of green smoke, we can find the whereabouts of her daughter."

The smoke hovered in the air for a moment, then drifted out of the village. The three of them looked at each other and followed closely.

The smoke drifted all the way to a dense forest outside the village. The trees in the forest were tall and lush, blocking out the sun and looking particularly eerie. The smoke passed through the forest and finally stopped in front of a hidden cave.

Sui Guanxian raised her hand, and the winding vines were instantly cut off, revealing the dark entrance of the cave. She walked into the cave, followed by Lu Jinchao and Rong Ying.

The cave was dark and damp, and the air was filled with the smell of decay. The three of them walked along the narrow passage, and soon they heard a low sobbing sound coming from the front.

Qiansui turned on the flashlight on his belly, and the cave suddenly lit up with a soft light. Deep inside the cave, several young women were chained to the stone wall, wearing tattered clothes and looking haggard. Green smoke surrounded one of the women, who must be the daughter of the woman with the broken arm.

Lu Jinzhao took a few steps forward, swung his sword to cut the chains, and rescued several women. When the daughter of the woman with the broken arm saw Sui Guanxian and others, she burst into tears and knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you for saving my life, Immortal!"

Rong Ying nodded slightly and raised his hand to help her up: "No need to be polite. Do you know the whereabouts of the man in black robe?"

The woman wiped her tears and shook her head, saying, "After the black-robed man kidnapped us, he never showed up again. We don't know where he went."

Rong Ying frowned slightly when he heard this. Just as he was about to ask again, he suddenly heard hurried footsteps coming from outside the cave.

"Someone is coming." Lu Jinchao gestured to the woman to silence her, "Shh."

Qiansui understood and immediately turned off the flashlight. The light in the cave went out instantly. The three of them hid in the darkness and waited quietly.

Soon, several monks in black robes rushed into the cave, holding torches in their hands and looking alert. The leader shouted in a low voice: "Search carefully! The boy is seriously injured and can't run far!"

The black-robed monks searched the cave for a while, found nothing unusual, and turned and left.

Hearing this, Rong Ying whispered to Sui Guanxian, "Master, could the 'boy' they are talking about be Senior Brother Ming Xiao?"

Sui Guanxian put the trapped women into his sleeves and nodded slightly: "It's possible."

He made a gesture to hide his figure from the three people and followed quietly.

At the same time, inside the sect.

Ming Xiao slowly opened his eyes. A complex light flashed in his eyes, as if he was a little confused, and seemed to be struggling. He looked down at his hands and muttered to himself: "I...what happened to me?"

The two old servants of the Ming family beside them burst into tears of joy: "Master, you are finally awake!"

"Uncle Pan, Uncle Chi, I'm fine." Ming Xiao smiled and nodded. He stood up, stretched his muscles, then pushed open the door and strode out.

Inside the sect, several outer disciples were busy. When they saw Mingxiao appear, they were stunned for a moment, then they reacted and showed a look of surprise: "Brother Mingxiao! You're awake!"

Ming Xiao nodded slightly: "I'm awake. Thank you all for your concern. What are you busy with?"

An outer sect disciple wearing the uniform of a Danfeng disciple quickly replied, "The sect leader has given instructions. The sun is good these days, so let's take out the books and dry them in the sun. Also, we need to sort out the things she brought back. We are sorting out the secret manuals and treasures and preparing to store them."

Ming Xiao said with concern in his eyes: "Thank you for your hard work. Let me help you."

The outer disciples were flattered and waved their hands quickly, "No, no, Senior Brother, you just woke up, you should have a good rest."

Ming Xiao smiled and said, "It's okay. I just want to stretch my muscles."

As he spoke, he walked forward and picked up a manual of martial arts techniques and flipped through it. Seeing this, the outer disciples could not stop him and could only continue to work.

While Ming Xiao was flipping through the martial arts secrets books, he quietly stuffed a few precious martial arts secrets books into his sleeves. Then he walked to the treasure rack beside him, picked up a few treasures and pretended to examine them carefully.

Seeing this, a disciple from Qifeng could not help but remind him: "Brother Mingxiao, those things contain very strong spiritual energy. Please be careful and don't make things worse."

Ming Xiao smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm just taking a look."

As he spoke, he put the treasures into his sleeves. Seeing this, the disciples of Qifeng suddenly changed their expressions: "Brother Mingxiao, what are you doing..."

A hint of coldness flashed in Mingxiao's eyes. He raised his hand and waved it. An invisible force instantly knocked the disciple from Qifeng away.

The Qifeng disciple fell to the ground and fainted.

Seeing this, several other outer disciples were immediately horrified: "Brother Mingxiao! What are you doing!"

Ming Xiao sneered: "What? Of course, take away what belongs to me."

As he spoke, he strode towards the treasure shelf and swept away all the treasures on it. Then he walked towards the place where the secret manuals of martial arts were stored and put all of them into his pocket.

The remaining outer disciples looked at each other, their eyes full of shock and confusion. One outer disciple stood up, looking puzzled: "But... didn't the master say that these treasures and secret manuals should be stored in the warehouse? How could you take them away without permission? Could it be... that the master had other instructions?"

Ming Xiao heard this and said sternly, "How can you outer disciples guess what the master is thinking? I have the master's secret order, so you don't need to ask any more questions."

After hearing this, the outer disciples still had doubts in their hearts, but they did not dare to say anything more. After all, Ming Xiao was the eldest brother of the sect and was highly valued by the head of the sect. His words naturally carried some weight.

Several people looked at each other and whispered, "Is it really the Sect Master's order? But why would the Sect Master ask us to sort it out and then let Senior Brother Mingxiao take it away?"

Seeing that they were hesitant, Ming Xiao continued, "If you have any doubts, you can go and ask the Sect Leader. However, if you delay important matters, the consequences will be something you cannot afford."

After hearing this, the outer disciples dared not say anything more, and could only lower their heads and quietly retreat to the side. Seeing this, Ming Xiao stepped forward and took the remaining treasures and secret books into his pocket.

However, just as he was about to leave, an older outer disciple suddenly stood up, blocked his way, and said in a deep voice: "Senior Brother Mingxiao, this matter is of great importance. Please show us the secret order from the headmaster, otherwise we will not be able to explain to the sect."

Ming Xiao said in a cold tone: "How can you read the secret order? Get out of the way!"

The outer disciple refused to give in and said firmly: "Brother, without the secret order from the Sect Master, we cannot let you take these treasures and secret manuals away. This is the sect's rule, please forgive me."

Ming Xiao stared at the outer disciple, his tone threatening: "Are you questioning me?"

The outer disciple was a little scared, but still gritted his teeth and insisted: "Brother, we are just following the rules. Please don't make things difficult for us."

A fiery red spiritual power appeared and before anyone could react, it accurately knocked the outer disciple away.

Upon seeing this, the other outer disciples were horrified and retreated one after another.

"Brother Mingxiao! What are you doing?" a young outer sect disciple couldn't help but shout, "How can you attack your fellow sect member!"

Ming Xiao said with a hint of disdain: "Fellow disciples? You rubbish are worthy of being called my fellow disciples? I'm in a good mood today and don't want to argue with you. If you dare to stop me again, don't blame me for being rude!"

When the outer disciples heard this, they were immediately filled with anger and disappointment. They never thought that Senior Brother Mingxiao, who was usually gentle and kind, would say such a thing.

"Brother Mingxiao, you...how did you become like this?" an outer disciple asked in a trembling voice, "Are you really going to betray the sect?"

Hearing this, Ming Xiao sneered and said, "Betrayal? Humph, what did the sect give me? Today I am just taking back what belongs to me."

After hearing this, the outer disciples had different expressions. They never thought that Senior Brother Mingxiao would say such a thing.

"For the last time, I will call you Brother. If you insist on not changing your ways, don't blame us for being rude!" An outer sect disciple gritted his teeth and said, "We will never let you take away the sect's treasures and secret manuals."

Hearing this, Ming Xiao sneered disdainfully: "You trash want to stop me? You really overestimate your own abilities."

As he spoke, countless spiritual energy-transformed arrows seemed to become physical and attacked the outer disciples in the face.

Although several people fought hard, they were no match for Ming Xiao and were soon beaten to pieces.

The oldest outer disciple shouted to the others, "Quick, go inform Elder Yanfeng and the two guardians! Transmit the message to the head of the sect! Senior Brother Mingxiao intends to rebel against the sect!"

The three people and the cat quietly followed the black-robed man, following him all the way. The black-robed man didn't seem to notice and walked straight into the depths of the dense forest. The fog in the dense forest became thicker and thicker, and the trees around became taller and taller, with branches and leaves intertwined, blocking out the sun, as if entering a realm isolated from the world.

"Master, this place is a little weird." Rong Ying said in a low voice, frowning slightly, "The spiritual energy is so thin that it is almost negligible, and there is a cold and gloomy atmosphere, as if it was deliberately arranged by someone."

"Don't try to scare the enemy."

The group continued to move forward, and soon the black-robed man stopped in front of a hidden valley. The entrance to the valley was shrouded in a layer of light mist, and a few runes could be vaguely seen flashing in the mist, which was obviously a barrier.

The man in black robe raised his hand, as if showing some token. The barrier fluctuated slightly, and then they stepped in.

The barrier couldn't stop Sui Guanxian.

The valley was brightly lit, with stone houses scattered around in an orderly manner. In the center was a tall black stone palace. In front of the palace stood several monks in black robes with solemn expressions.

"Here..." Rong Ying looked around and felt that the leader looked familiar. After thinking for a while, surprise flashed in his eyes, "That person is the elder in charge of Wuji Sect... They set up such a secret base here and kidnapped ordinary people. What exactly do they want to do?"

The man in black robes walked quickly into the stone hall. After a while, a deep laugh came from the hall, followed by a young man's voice: "How is it going?"

The black-robed man replied respectfully, "Young Master, I have followed your instructions and brought back all the young women and children, waiting for you to enjoy them."

"Very good." There was some joy in the young man's voice. "Did you gain anything special this time?"

The black-robed man hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Young Master, when I was on the move, I encountered a young man with a good cultivation base. He seemed to be a disciple of a certain sect. I wanted to capture him and present him to you, but he escaped."

"Oh?" The young man asked with some interest, "Which sect are you from?"

"It seems to be... a disciple from Wuming Mountain." The man in black robe replied in a low voice.

There was silence in the hall for a moment, and then the young man sneered, "Oh, it's true that enemies often meet on a narrow road. A few days ago, they ruined two of my good deeds, and I was worried that I couldn't find a chance to retaliate, but I didn't expect that they would come to my door."

"Two good things?" Qiansui couldn't help but feel confused when he heard this. "Are you talking about the incident with the woman with a broken hand in Hai Village, or the incident of rescuing abducted women and children in Duli City? Or the incident of killing a ghost cultivator?"

Inside the hall, the young man's voice sounded again: "Pass the order down, step up the manpower, and make sure to find the boy as soon as possible. In addition, the sect on the top of Wuming Mountain...it's time to clean it up."

The man in black robe responded respectfully and then retreated.

Rong Ying whispered, "Master, what should we do next? Should we just charge in?"

Sui Guanxian smiled and said, "No hurry, let's find out their purpose first."

The three of them continued to hide. Soon, they saw several men in black robes escorting a group of young women and children out from behind the stone hall and heading towards the depths of the valley. The women and children looked terrified, but they dared not make any sound, obviously they had been restricted.

Among them was the Danfeng disciple who had been missing for several days.

Following quietly, I saw that the group of people were taken to an underground secret room. In the center of the secret room was a huge altar, which was engraved with strange runes. Dozens of shrunken corpses were placed around it, and they had obviously been drained of their blood.

"The art of the furnace and cauldron?" Sui Guanxian covered his lips with his nameless fan, his eyes narrowed slightly under the shark silk, "No matter where you go, there will always be such unpresentable people."

At this moment, the young man's voice sounded again: "Bring everyone up, I'm going to start practicing."

Upon hearing this, several black-robed men immediately escorted the young women and children to the altar. The young man slowly walked up to the altar, forming seals with his hands. The runes on the altar suddenly lit up, and a cold aura filled the air.

Seeing that there was going to be another victim, an invisible sword energy instantly slashed out, shattering the runes on the altar. The young man's face changed drastically, and he turned around suddenly: "Who!"

"Taking the essence of people's blood and spirits to cultivate is an evil and heretical way." Lu Jinchao walked out from the darkness and looked at him expressionlessly, "You should never, ever touch my sect's disciples."

When the young man saw that it was just a child, he laughed wildly and said, "How dare you, a young boy, trespass into the territory of Wuji Sect without permission? You really don't know how to live or die! Since you can't bear to leave your fellow disciples, why don't you stay here with us!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and waved. Dozens of black-robed monks suddenly rushed out from all around the altar and surrounded Sui Guanxian and his companions.

Sui Guanxian's expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly, "Do it."
