Swish, swish…

As expected, Shang Wangchen and Shui Yuechan quickly arrived, leaping gracefully across the treetops.

Sensing their approach, Su Yi climbed higher onto the treetop and motioned for them to stop.

Following Su Yi's gestures, Shang Wangchen and Shui Yuechan cooperated, making no noise as they stealthily crept alongside him toward the cave's location.

When the two young experts from the second-rate sects finally caught sight of the Item Spirit Beast, their jaws dropped in astonishment.

Given their experience and knowledge, they immediately recognized the small creature as an extraordinary and rare artifact spirit.

The air around the cave was filled with a unique fragrance, one that refreshed their minds and soothed their spirits. It was clear the scent originated from within the cave.

Shang Wangchen and Shui Yuechan couldn't help but glance at Su Yi. They quickly deduced that he must have been the one to lure this precious creature here.

Watching the scene intently, Su Yi muttered silently to himself, urging the creature on.

Shang Wangchen and Shui Yuechan, equally captivated, found themselves growing excited as they watched the little creature hesitate near the cave. It appeared eager to enter but also cautious, as if sensing potential danger.

Su Yi, Shang Wangchen, and Shui Yuechan remained hidden behind a dense tree, their eyes fixed on the creature, waiting patiently without making a move.

Meanwhile, Hong Jianqiu and a group of disciples from the Tiangang Sect were following the same trail that Su Yi and his companions had taken.

"That familiar sensation again… It feels like the treasure has reappeared," one of the Tiangang Sect disciples whispered, his voice tinged with excitement.

The group’s spirits soared. This feeling could only mean they were closing in on a valuable treasure.

"Suppress your presence, and don’t make a sound. This time, we cannot afford to let the opportunity slip through our fingers," Hong Jianqiu instructed firmly, his eyes burning with determination.

With renewed resolve, the group quickened their pace, their excitement barely contained.

Back at the cave…

"It’s moving! It’s about to go inside!"

Su Yi, Shang Wangchen, and Shui Yuechan had been waiting in tense anticipation for what felt like an eternity. At last, the Item Spirit Beast, unable to resist the allure of the Spiritual Essence placed inside the cave, began cautiously approaching the entrance.

The little creature took slow, measured steps, pausing frequently to glance back, as if ensuring there was no danger.

Su Yi's entire focus was on the creature. Beside him, Shang Wangchen and Shui Yuechan held their breath, their bodies rigid with tension. They dared not make the slightest movement, knowing that even a faint sound could scare the creature away.

"Almost there…"

As the little beast finally crossed the threshold into the cave, Su Yi tensed, ready to act. He was just about to leap down from the treetop and approach the cave when a soft sound of surprise reached his ears from behind.

Oh no! Su Yi thought, his heart sinking.

Before he could react, the soft exclamation was followed by the excited voices of several young men:

"Look! Isn’t that the creature discovered by the Furious Blade Sect and Juetian Sect?"

"It’s an Item Spirit! Incredible!"

"Capture it quickly—don’t let it escape!"

"Move now!"

The voices came swiftly, like a thunderclap, and in the blink of an eye, they were closing in on the tree where Su Yi and his companions were hidden.

Su Yi turned to see Hong Jianqiu and a group of disciples from the Tiangang Sect rushing toward them with unrestrained excitement.

These disciples had suppressed their energy and movements so well that Su Yi, focused entirely on the little creature, hadn’t noticed their approach until it was too late.

Suddenly, eight figures darted forward like flashes of light, their energy surging as they charged toward the cave.

The Tiangang Sect disciples were elated. The rumors spread by the Furious Blade Sect and Juetian Sect were true—this rare Item Spirit truly existed.

If they could capture it, it would bring unimaginable benefits to their sect. Hong Jianqiu was already envisioning the rewards he and his fellow disciples would receive upon completing this mission.

However, while the Tiangang Sect disciples were overjoyed, Su Yi was seething with rage.

"You idiots!" he muttered through gritted teeth, barely restraining his fury.

Despite his frustration, Su Yi knew he had to act quickly. He darted from the treetop and sprinted toward the cave.

But it was too late.

The little creature had heard the commotion the moment Hong Jianqiu’s group began shouting. Realizing the danger, it snatched the bottle of Spiritual Essence placed inside the cave.

With a sudden burst of energy, the creature spread its small wings, igniting a bright flame. In an instant, it soared into the air and disappeared into the dense foliage like a streak of lightning.

"Don’t run!" Su Yi shouted, bolting after the fleeing creature.

"Quick, chase it! We mustn’t let it escape!"

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

The Tiangang Sect disciples echoed Su Yi’s desperation, their excitement driving them to pursue the creature at full speed.

"Oh no, it's going to get away!"

The group from the Tiangang Sect had no idea that they wouldn’t be able to catch up to the small creature. They were still shouting and yelling with unrestrained excitement.

Even Hong Jianqiu, usually composed, couldn't hide his enthusiasm. He had noticed Su Yi appearing ahead of them, also chasing the creature.

But Hong Jianqiu chose to ignore Su Yi for the moment—capturing the Item Spirit Beast was far more important. There would be plenty of opportunities to deal with Su Yi later.

"All that effort was wasted!"

Behind them, Shang Wangchen and Shui Yuechan emerged, exchanging regretful glances as they shook their heads.

They had clearly seen the small creature enter the cave. With a little patience and stealth, they might have had an excellent chance to capture it.

Now, their efforts had been completely disrupted by the arrival of the Tiangang Sect.

Shang Wangchen and Shui Yuechan couldn't help but feel disappointed. They were both curious about what treasure the small creature might be guarding.

Even if they couldn’t possess it themselves, just catching a glimpse of it would have been worthwhile.

"Let’s follow them and see what happens," Shang Wangchen said decisively. Without wasting any more time, he and Shui Yuechan took off after Su Yi, Hong Jianqiu, and the others.

"Oh no!"

Su Yi cursed loudly as he continued his pursuit, only to realize he had completely lost sight of the creature.

He was filled with frustration. After preparing the Spiritual Essence, exercising so much patience, and carefully hiding himself, all his hard work had gone to waste.

And once again, just like before, someone had suddenly appeared to ruin everything.

This situation reminded him of when Shi Susu had interrupted him unexpectedly. Two bottles of Spiritual Essence had already been used up, and despite being so close to success, the creature had managed to slip away.

Su Yi’s anger boiled over. He was on the verge of exploding.

"It got away! It disappeared!"

"How did that little beast escape so quickly and vanish in the blink of an eye?"

"What a pity, we couldn’t catch it!"

"We underestimated it. We should have been more careful!"

"Maybe we should keep searching—there’s always a chance we’ll find it again."

The disciples of the Tiangang Sect passed by where Su Yi stood, their faces filled with disappointment and regret.

"I can’t believe it escaped!"

Hong Jianqiu’s eyes flashed with frustration as he clapped his hands in annoyance.

Despite being faster than the group just moments ago, Su Yi was now the last thing on Hong Jianqiu’s mind. His thoughts were consumed by the elusive Item Spirit Beast.

But since the creature’s whereabouts were now unknown, they had no choice but to give up the chase—for now.

"Young Sect Leader…"

One of the disciples from the Tiangang Sect finally calmed down and approached Hong Jianqiu, gesturing for him to look off to the side.

Following the disciple’s gaze, Hong Jianqiu spotted Su Yi standing atop a nearby tree. The boy’s brows were furrowed, his aura simmering with suppressed anger.

"Heh…"

Hong Jianqiu chuckled at the sight and turned toward Su Yi. With a calm but mocking tone, he said, "The big fish got away, but catching a small fish like you isn’t so bad…"

Before he could finish, Su Yi interrupted angrily, "Are you guys crazy? You just appeared out of nowhere and ruined everything!"

At this point, Su Yi’s anger was at its peak, and he needed an outlet to vent. After all his efforts had failed—not once, but twice—he was ready to snap.

"Kid, you—!"

Hong Jianqiu’s face darkened immediately. His expression twisted into an ugly scowl.

He hadn’t expected Su Yi to openly insult him in front of everyone.

"Who do you think you are? I’m your grandfather!" Su Yi shouted defiantly, glaring fiercely at Hong Jianqiu.

His outburst left the members of the Tiangang Sect stunned. Their faces turned purple with a mix of embarrassment and disbelief. None of them could believe this boy had the audacity to speak to them like that.

"You, Su Yi—you’re quite bold!"

Hong Jianqiu’s tone turned icy as he coldly stared at Su Yi. "Let’s see if you’re still this bold when facing death!"

As he spoke, Hong Jianqiu’s aura began to surge. Slowly, he drew his long sword, and an invisible pressure filled the air. A dazzling light spread from the blade, causing the void to tremble and illuminating the surrounding forest in the dark night.

"Be careful. Don’t let this guy get away!"

Hong Jianqiu ordered, and the seven remaining disciples of the Tiangang Sect quickly moved into formation, encircling Su Yi.

Each disciple exuded a palpable killing intent, their cold smiles adding to the oppressive atmosphere.

"Oh? Is that so?"

Su Yi raised an eyebrow, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "You’re really planning to kill me?"

What surprised Su Yi most wasn’t the threat itself, but the sheer illogic of the situation.

After ruining his plans, not only did Hong Jianqiu and his group show no remorse, but they were now actively trying to kill him.

"It’s just as I said—you may have lost the Item Spirit, but you’re still a small fish. Since we’ve crossed paths in the Zhao Spirit Secret Realm, there’s no reason to let you live."

Hong Jianqiu sneered as he raised his sword, his voice filled with malice.

"Su Yi, prepare to die!"
