“Linlin, Lili! Come back!” Hao Ren yelled, afraid that Old Grandma would be disturbed.
After putting away the Yin-Yang Bracelets, the Lu sisters flew back into the valley.
As a genius and array formation master, Zhen Congming had changed the structure of the array formation, but the restrictions on entry remained the same. The Lu sisters still could travel in and out of the valley, but the other cultivators couldn’t.
Seeing that the Lu sisters had stopped attacking, the other cultivators also took back their dharma treasures. They had a good understanding of the power of the array formation and knew that it couldn’t be shaken unless dozens of Nascent Soul Realm cultivators attacked it with full force.
“You don’t need to stay around Ethereal Summit. Hand your spiritual herbs to Seven Star Sect, Qiong Hua Sect, or Qin Yin Sect, and you’ll get the notes when the conditions are met,” Hao Ren shouted with some nature essence.
After staying in Ethereal Summit for almost half a day, he could only accumulate enough nature essence which was on par with half Kan-level.
According to the Lu sisters’ Poison Pill Plan, it would take one week to recover his nature essence fully.
After hearing Hao Ren’s words, the sects outside the valley began to evacuate, not daring to linger around Ethereal Summit since the direct disciple of Herb King Master had said so.
“Besides, anyone who can find an appropriate thumb ring can trade for two notes,” Hao Ren continued.
Two essence-unlocking notes meant two Nascent Soul Realm cultivators!
Thumb ring! All the cultivators were excited.
It was hard to find level 6 spiritual herbs, but thumb rings were easier to find.
Xie Yujia turned her head slightly and glanced at Hao Ren.
Besides for decoration, the so-called thumb ring was useful to protect the thumb when pulling the bow.
Hao Ren had obviously announced this condition for her. For one thumb ring, Hao Ren would reward two notes which were equivalent to six top-tier spiritual herbs. He had set a high reward so that the sects would find the best thumb ring.
The fact that Hao Ren still remembered the injuries on her fingers by the sharp bowstring and he was willing to forgo spiritual herbs warmed Xie Yujia’s heart.
“Go!” Hao Ren said.
Whoosh! The cultivators from Sixth Heaven scrambled to pack.
Standing in the valley, Duan Yao watched the chaotic scenes outside and sensed the power and confidence that couldn’t be suppressed by anyone.
Beside this ‘pervert’ stood two beauties who were at the Nascent Soul Realm, a dharma note master, and an array formation master. Also, there was the pretty and vivacious Zhao Yanzi who wasn’t here.
“Maybe he is Herb King Master…” Duan Yao stared at Hao Ren in silence as she stared at her from a distance.
Although she didn’t dare to stand with him, she still regarded him as her enemy.
After all, all her misfortunes were caused by Hao Ren.
Despite all this, she felt an indescribable sense of relief after leaving Sky Mountain Sect.
A moment later, the cultivators had all disappeared with their tents.
The large group of cultivators from Sky Mountain Sect had flown to Sixth Heaven as well.
Sky Mountain Sect had sent more than 1,000 cultivators to help Ethereal Summit rebuild its array formation, but they didn’t dare to ask for rewards in return. They were content that three Nascent Soul Realm masters had recovered their realms despite their losses of hundreds of years of cultivation strength.
With three mid-tier Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, the severely damaged Sky Mountain Sect got the chance to catch a breath on Sixth Heaven that was filled with powerful potential enemies.
These grand cultivators of Sky Mountain Sect didn’t know if Herb King Master removed the lock on their realms because of Duan Yao, but they didn’t dare to ask to take her back.
Returning to Sixth Heaven, the sects were going to search for all kinds of valuable spiritual herbs and thumb rings.
“Let’s head back,” Hao Ren glanced at Xie Yujia and said.
“Ok.” Xie Yujia nodded and then looked at Duan Yao who stood about five meters from them. “What should we do with her?”
“She can go back. We don’t need her anymore,” Hao Ren said.
After hearing Hao Ren’s words, Duan Yao widened her eyes and stared at him in astonishment.
She had been taken to Ethereal Summit against her will, and she was still thinking about how she could fight them. However, Hao Ren just abandoned her?! She felt like she was just an object that could be thrown away once not needed.
After being hurt by her father, Duan Yao got another severe blow.
Oblivious to her thoughts and what happened between her and Sky Mountain Sect, Hao Ren summoned Little White and sat on its back before pulling Duan Yao up on his way out of the valley.
Zhen Congming and the Lu sisters followed Hao Ren closely and flew out of Ethereal Summit. With the new array formation, the intensity of nature essence in Ethereal Summit was higher than before, and the spiritual herbs could rest and recover better.
Hao Ren put Duan Yao on the top of a mountain outside of the valley, and he flew into the distance with the others without looking back.
Seeing Hao Ren fly away and becoming a black dot, Duan Yao had tears in her eyes, and she felt like knives were cutting her heart.
After being abandoned by Sky Mountain Sect, even Ethereal Summit didn’t want her. The former little princess had become lower than a beggar in one day.
In the vast world, where could she go? Sky Mountain Sect wouldn’t send anyone to pick her up, and she didn’t want to go back to Sky Mountain Sect either.
Duan Yao walked a few steps forward in dizziness and felt the acute pain in her wrists. After she smacked away the elixir pills that Xie Yujia tossed to her, the latter didn’t give her any more medicine to heal her wounds.
When she was brought out from the Repentance Cliff in Sky Mountain Sect to Ethereal Summit, she had no dharma treasures or spirit stones on her, and even her clothes were ragged.
She was totally on her own… Looking down at the misty Ethereal Summit, Duan Yao bit hard on her lips and walked to the West.
In the past, whenever she left Sky Mountain Sect, she had been accompanied by many senior brothers and had lots of dharma treasures on her.
However, that was because she was the only daughter of the Sky Mountain Sect Master!
She was cut off! She would never go back to Sky Mountain Sect even if she would die on Fifth Heaven!
Stepping on the sharp broken rocks, Duan Yao stumbled toward the foot of the mountain, feeling like Fifth Heaven which had been a playground to her was now full of dangers.
No longer the pearl of Sky Mountain Sect, she wasn’t protected by snow lions and didn’t even have a weapon for self-defense!
Any cultivator above mid-tier Core Formation Realm could capture her, and no one would know or believe that she was the daughter of the Sky Mountain Sect Master!
“Dad doesn’t want me, and I will never take him as my dad too!”
Without tears, Duan Yao’s steps became steadier.
“No wonder I couldn’t find you in Sky Mountain Sect! You’re here!” A purple light shot from the East.
“Little girl, come with me! After some thought, I have decided to take you with me!”
After wind swept over, Duan Yao disappeared from the mountain.
