CHAPTER 88: Obtaining Spiritual Herbs
"Liu Dao You is right; we will follow your arrangements!"
At this moment, Hou Yanze and Gongsun Cang naturally had no differing opinions and echoed in agreement.
With the leaders of the three factions reaching a consensus, the actions of the allied forces were confirmed, and this operation came to a temporary close.
"Friends Hou and Gongsun, as local cultivating families, you have much better information than I do. If you discover any enemy cultivators, please inform me."
"Do not falter, or the fate of the Feng Family may repeat itself!"
Liu Yu spoke slowly, and there seemed to be another meaning in his words.
Hou Yanze and Gongsun Cang felt a chill in their hearts. Both had been managing their families for decades and could easily sense that Liu Yu was warning them.
Concerning the rise and fall of their families, the two immediately straightened their faces and responded, "If we see any traces of the cultivators from the Heavenly Harmony Sect, our families will report it to Liu Dao You at once."
"We wouldn't dare to conceal anything; you can rest assured about that!"
The two swore an oath, fearful that Liu Yu might not believe them.
A smile appeared on Liu Yu's face, and he was somewhat satisfied with their attitude. He said with a grin, "I can certainly feel the sincerity from the Hou and Gongsun families. I was only reminding you; there is no need for such seriousness."
Hearing this, Hou Yanze and Gongsun Cang relaxed their expressions, exchanged glances, and finally, Gongsun Cang cleared his throat and cautiously spoke, "Regarding the resource points of the Feng Family..."
This was the most crucial matter for the two families, having cost several family members' lives. Remember, the two families had fewer than twenty cultivators in total.
Liu Yu laughed heartily, thinking that these two were finally losing their composure.
However, considering he had gained so many benefits and had several storage bags at his waist, the two families' decision to follow him on this operation also indicated their stance. It was no harm to do them a good turn.
With that in mind, Liu Yu instinctively touched the storage bag of the feminine-looking man and then said, "You two friends can rest assured. When I return to Cold Moon City, I will report this incident to the sect and will not forget the contributions of the Hou and Gongsun families."
Upon hearing this, Hou Yanze and Gongsun Cang both clasped their hands in salute and said, "Then we are grateful to Liu Dao You!"
Liu Yu waved his hands and did not speak further; unless necessary, he did not want to engage in superficial courtesies.
Next, Liu Yu instructed the allied cultivators to check the flat ground once more, confirming that there were no omissions. He then called back Zhou Guibo and the others who had been left behind, and a dozen escape lights soared into the sky.
The loose cultivators of Yanjiao Mountain looked up at the sky. After seeing Liu Yu and his group leave, they all breathed a sigh of relief, as if a heavy stone had been lifted from their chests.
It was unclear who took the lead, but a group of loose cultivators rushed towards the flat ground, wanting to see if there were any overlooked benefits. Some loose cultivators showed disdain and returned to sit and cultivate in front of their thatched huts.
After flying several miles towards Cold Moon City, Liu Yu sent a divine sense sound transmission to Hou Yanze and Gongsun Cang, indicating that they need not accompany him any further.
In the air, the dozen escape lights quickly divided into three groups, with five or six lights in each, flying in different directions.
This duel of magic actually did not last long; after all, the difference in numbers and strength between the two sides was too great, and there was still some time before noon.
The red sun hung halfway in the sky, emitting thousands of rays of light that illuminated the mountains, bringing a vibrant atmosphere, seemingly heralding the start of a beautiful day.
