Who let him join the Sword Sect?!-Chapter 697 - 368: 315 Has Passed, So Fake Certificates Start_3

At this moment, everything was almost done, yet Maomao's whereabouts were nowhere to be seen.

"Strange? Where's Maomao?" Elder Han frowned and said.

"Probably playing with those guys from Spirit Deer Valley, hmm... Xia Yan, go to Spirit Deer Valley and find..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Elder Han's words got stuck in his throat.

The spiritual qi in the air trembled, golden light swept across the ground, and Elder Han turned into a mist of water and flew out of the room, just in time to see Spirit Deer Valley flying up against the sky.

A golden turtle shell array map enveloped the entire valley, and the giant Thousand Mechanism Magical Artifact at the base of the valley started to transform, lighting up one after another.

In the blink of an eye, Spirit Deer Valley flew away.

Elder Han: "..."

Looking at the empty sky, he was somewhat bewildered.

'Just now, what happened? Where is my Spirit Deer Valley?'

"Elder Han, what's wrong?" Sensing something unusual, Xia Yan also ran out.

"I, you... you take good care of the house, I'll be right back, @#%, someone's stealing the house!"

Elder Han, who had maintained his composure for over a hundred years, rarely blurted out a curse.

The news of Spirit Deer Valley being stolen quickly spread through the small walnut. Elders stationed everywhere soared into the sky, preparing to intercept it.

However...

All failed.

Some of the more skilled ones barely kept up with Spirit Deer Valley's speed but couldn't break through the golden talisman turtle shell.

As for the majority of the others, they couldn't even catch a whiff of its trail, let alone stop it.

No one knew who was controlling the Spirit Deer; the maneuvers were incessantly cunning.

Sliding and boosting launch—it was as nimble as a dog despite its gigantic size.

Go find a few disciples from the Sword Sect to control a flying sword, and they might not even be as agile as this Spirit Deer Valley.

The person stealing Spirit Deer Valley, while fleeing, even left cheeky messages like 'Who else?' on the ridges he passed, using minor tremors to carve them in.

The elders responsible for the Rising Dragon pursuit felt quite helpless.

However old they were, they still had to endure such taunting.

...

At Dragon Beard Pass.

Zhang Ze, unaware of the big mess Maomao had caused for him, was interrogating the Female Hero Li together with his junior sister.

In the small dark room, the junior sister snapped her fingers, conjuring a ball of light.

"There is an old saying in Sword Sect: Those who understand the times are wise. I hope Sister Qi will cooperate with us sincerely."

Singing the black face, Chen Qin shone the light onto Li Yueqi's face.

"Be obedient, do as we say, and we'll let you eat these pig's trotters over rice."

"This is not just any ordinary pig's trotter rice, it's made with Spirit Rice, Spirit Pork Elbow, Spirit Soy Sauce, Spirit Onion, Spirit Sauce, Spirit Barbecued Pork."

Singing the white face, Zhang Ze pushed a steaming bowl of pig's trotter rice in front of Li Yueqi.

Li Yueqi sat across the table, looking at the two of them with eyes as if she was seeing someone with mental issues.

"What are you two doing? If you really have nothing else to do, drink more hot water."

Li Yueqi reached out and poked the light ball summoned by the junior sister until it broke, then pushed Zhang Ze's pig's trotter rice back to him.

"If you have something to say, say it. If not, I'm leaving." With that, she got up to leave.

Seeing this, the junior sister kicked Zhang Ze and quickly ran to the opposite side of the table, "Sister Qi, don't go, don't go, there's really something serious."

Only after getting Li Yueqi to sit back down did Chen Qin speak in a low voice.

"Senior brother wants you to help him deal with the rear."

Li Yueqi: "?"

She turned red with anger, standing up from her chair abruptly.

'Not, have these two already become that perverse? Just too…'

Seeing Li Yueqi's expression, Chen Qin then realized she had said the wrong thing, slapped her mouth a few times, "Misspoke, misspoke, not rear, it's Taisui. Senior brother wants you to help him with Taisui."

"You are recognized as an expert in the field of Taisui. This Taisui defense plan can't proceed without you.

"As for this method, it's senior brother's idea.

"He said that although this matter is no longer a secret, it's still a secret to you, so if not coerced, you wouldn't agree."

Chen Qin decisively sold out Zhang Ze.

Li Yueqi's face turned even redder, she glared angrily at Zhang Ze and said.

"Didn't I ask you to keep the Taisui thing a secret? How come... how is it that everyone knows! What's this about being recognized!"

Zhang Ze, holding the pig's trotter rice, shook his head innocently, "Don't look at me, it really wasn't me who leaked the secret, nor was it Bai Tao or Fuji."

Li Yueqi: "Then who was it? I'll eat him alive!"

Zhang Ze: "Maomao."

Li Yueqi: "..."

As an old cunning dog, Maomao had more tricks up its sleeve than most people would imagine, and it knew way more secrets. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Recalling the sneaky and restless Maomao, Li Yueqi suddenly felt her heart was so tired.

"How many people know about this now?" she asked dejectedly.

Zhang Ze was silent for a moment, then spoke out, "Lily knows."

Li Yueqi: "Alright, don't say anymore, if she knows, then it's as if everyone knows."

Surrendering to fate, Li Yueqi sat back down in her chair and reached out to Zhang Ze, "Give me a bowl too!"

"Give you what?" asked Zhang Ze, with a piece of barbecued pork between his teeth.

Li Yueqi: "Pig's trotter rice of course, didn't you say if we cooperate, you'll give me pig's trotter rice?"

Zhang Ze quickly got up, fetching a bowl from the small bucket beside him and filled a bowl for both the Female Hero Li and the junior sister.

"Try it, I made it myself."

"Hm, the flavor is indeed not bad."

For a moment the room was silent, filled only with the sounds of the three of them eating pig's trotter rice.

Following the principle of eating pig's trotter rice requires playing with one's phone, after serving himself a second bowl, Zhang Ze took out the small walnut and began scrolling.

Then, he saw many bewildering things.

[A mysterious stranger storms the mountains at high speeds; cultivators in the northern region, please be cautious.]

[Spirit Deer Valley stolen, Thousand Mechanism Pavilion's security in doubt, are there loopholes in the flying magical artifact certification system?]

[Encountering overload, over-limit, and over-speed conditions? Please listen to the song "We Are All Living Boldly"]

What the heck are these things? What's the connection?

"Junior sister, take a look at this..."

Zhang Ze had just handed the small walnut to Chen Qin when, suddenly, the roof of the house, temporarily built by the Thousand Mechanism Cultivator, was lifted by an unmatched immense force.

Zhang Ze looked up and saw a valley crashing towards his face.
