The female cultivator in the green dress angrily said, "You little thief, I have ne against you, yet you took my treasured armor. What more do you want?"

  Damn you, motherfucker.

  Lin Hao felt a bit numb.

  All this trouble was stirred up by this woma now she was trying to wash her hands of it and pin the bme on him.

  "You wretch, first you tried to divert trouble onto me, and then you attempted a sneak attack."

  "For these two reasons alone, killing you wouldn't be excessive!"

  "But, do you want to live?"

  Of course, the female cultivator in the green dress wao live. She was being hunted by people from the Spirit Medie Hall and inteo use Lin Hao as a shield to escape.

  Uedly, she hit a brick wall.

  She nodded like a peg chi, coquettishly saying, "Hero, what do you need me to do to let me go?"

  Lin Hao was immuo her seductive ghough she was quite attractive, she wasn't as beautiful as his maid, Green Calyx.

  Naturally, he wasn't moved.

  He furrowed his brows and coldly said, "Buy your life with spirit stones, don't try any tricks, or else you'll die!"

  Seeing her charm fail, the woma a bit resentful and said, "Hero, I'm short on cash..."

  Lin Hao didn't care, reag out to take the ste bag from her waist and impatiently said, "Open it!"

  Feeling the cold killing i, the woman dared not disobey and obediently unlocked the restri.

  Lin Hao sent a wisp of his divine seo the ste bag to check its tents, only to find... not a single spirit stone, just a small jade box.

  Damn!

  This wasn't being short on cash; this was having nothing at all!

  He cursed inwardly, taking out the small jade box, and the female cultivator's face ged instantly.

  Lin Hao, being so clever, could tell from her eyes that this jade box was likely the treasure she stole from the Spirit Medie Hall.

  With so many people around, he didn't check it oreet but put the jade box bato his own ste bag.

  "This thing barely buys you a life. Scram."

  The female cultivator in the green dress half-k on the ground, pleading, "Hero, the item in that jade box is life-saving. Please return it to me, and I'll set up a loy pque for you and t scriptures for you every night."

  Lin Hao's eyes narrowed, a hint of killing i in his voice.

  "If you don't leave now, I'll raise the price!"

  The female cultivator shivered, quickly got up from the ground, and ran off without a trace.

  ...

  "Hehe, strong as he is, he's just a naive kid, and I still mao fool him!" The female cultivator in the green dress hid in an abandoned courtyard.

  From a hidden spot, she took out a fist-sized jade box aly opehe lid, revealing a dazzling treasure.

  "Heavenly Sun Bck Mushroom, a necessary item for Foundatioablishment cultivators to form their Golden Elixir, worth a fortuhis haul was worth it!"

  She carefully closed the lid, pnning how to sell this treasure iure, when suddenly she heard a ghostly voice.

  "Wretch, you hide well."

  "Is it fun?"

  A cold and fierce voice startled the female cultivator, nearly causio drop the jade box.

  She instinctively tried to hide the jade box but was once again caught by that strange su, pulling her and the box into the man's arms.

  "Hero, why are you here?" The female cultivator in the green dress said with a fttering smile.

  "Didn't you say I was blind?" Lin Hao used two slender fio take the jade box.

  "Such a treasure belongs to the virtuous, so it's mine now."

  The female cultivator's face ged slightly, wanting to say something but too afraid, so she held back.

  "If the hero likes it, just take it," she said with a forced smile.

  "Remember, it's not because I like it, but because it was mio begin with."

  "As for you."

  A fierce light fshed in Lin Hao's eyes as he said, "Lying is a habit that deserves punishment!"

  Sp!

  Sp!

  Sp!

  The rhythmic sound echoed in the abandoned courtyard until the sun was high in the sky.

  Lin Hao walked away, his mind sav the experiehinking the woman had a nice feel to her.

  The female cultivator in the green dress watched his departing figure, her mind filled with plex emotions. This man was so domineering.

  Little thief, don't you know how to cherish beauty?

  My innoce was ruined by you, you sdrel.

  Lin Hao left the courtyard, sending a wisp of his divine seo carefully check the tents of the jade box, surprised to find it was the Heavenly Sun Bck Mushroom needed for the Golden Elixir stage.

  This thing was worth nearly five thousand middle-grade spirit stones, a huge profit!

  Suppressing his excitement, he put the jade box bato his ste bag and headed to the inhe Xuan Yi was staying.

  The Xuan Yi pced great importan this Tianjiao Battle, sending Murong Qihe master of Little Bamboo Peak, to lead the team. inally, another master, Wang Taihang, was also here to oversee.

  But the sect summoned him back temporarily.

  However, the Xuan Yi sent Liu Mei to assist Murong Qinxue.

  Since Liu Mei came directly, she arrived before Lin Hao, who had set off early.

  As soon as she settled in the inn, she sensed a familiar aura approag, a smile curling on her fiery red lips.

  That brat arrived so te; he must have been fooling around on the way.

  Seeing Lin Hao's triumphant demeanor, Liu Mei felt her guess was likely correct.

  She couldn't help but silently pin, "g Yue is devoted to the Dao and never sought a Dao panio her disciple is a handsome young man."

  "I don't know how g Yue restrains herself from disciplining this brat."

  Lin Hao was the st to arrive from the Xuan Yi and the st among the five great sects.

  After he arrived, Murong Qinxue had Liu Mei expin the petition rules.

  She o meet with the other sect leaders to discuss the Tianjiao Battle.

  The leaders of the five great sects were all Elemental Infant stage cultivators, holding high positions in their respective sects.

  Among them, Mu Heng of the Heavenly Sword Sect had the highest cultivation, naturally being the leader of the meeting.

  "Everyone, my proposal is to set the Tianjiao Battle arena iian Sha City's arena."

  He suggested this because he khe arena's behind-the-ses owner.

  This person was a legendary figure, though just an indepe cultivator, he was a te-stage Elemental Infant cultivator and one of the founders of Tian Sha City, holding a highly respected status. Even the sect leaders had to show him some respect.

  "Don't be quick to refuse. Setting the arena in the coliseum allows us to iate a partnership."

  "The coliseum provides the venue, and we provide the partits. The Tianjiao Battle's reputation will surely attract many spectators, and we set up betting pools for them."

  "The profits from the betting be split with the coliseum, and then we five share the rest."

  Though some disdained Mu Heng's merary approaone objected.

  "Alright, since everyone agrees, let's give the Tianjiao three days to rest, thetle officially begins!"
