Betrayal
He sized up the First Elder and said, "First Elder, you don't trust me."
The First Elder shook his head and replied, "If I didn't trust you, why would I give you the token? I'm just worried that unforeseen circumstances might occur."
The old man in the linen robe considered it for a moment and seemed to think that it made sense.
Therefore, he put away the token and said, "I'll make my way back now."
After saying that, the old man in the linen robe turned around and was about to leave.
At this moment, the First Elder suddenly said, "Number Six, go with them."
The man that was called Number Six immediately stepped forward and said obediently, "Yes, First Elder."
A hint of displeasure immediately surfaced on the face of the old man in the linen robe.
Number Six was the First Elder's confidant. For him to send Number Six to go along with them was clearly to keep tabs on them.
"Don't worry. Number Six is my personal guard. With him around, he will be sure to keep all of you safe," the First Elder reassured them.
The old man in the linen robe sneered in his heart, but his face remained calm.
After taking the token, the group rushed in the direction of Tianyun Sect.
The First Elder and the others continued to guard the Divine Capital City, waiting for Qin Yu to appear.
As time passed, Qin Yu, who was lying in the Divine Capital City, finally regained consciousness.
He slowly opened his eyes, and a dazzling golden light immediately entered his vision.
Qin Yu rubbed his eyes and looked at his own body. His arm had recovered and was once again colored with a dark golden light.
Qin Yu was overjoyed by this discovery. He quickly got up from the ground and looked at his own body in amazement.
As expected, all the injured parts had turned to a dark golden color!
His entire body looked to be spotted with specks of dark golden color. It looked quite strange at a glance.
A relaxed expression appeared on Qin Yu's face.
"There are still a few injuries that have not recovered. Give me a few more days and my body should all turn to the same golden color," Qin Yu thought to himself.
For the time being, Qin Yu's physical body had basically recovered. Both the strength and durability of his body had undergone a qualitative change.
Other than spiritual power, Qin Yu was no different from a normal cultivator.
He tried clenching his fist, and sure enough, the strength of his body had become much more palpable.
"In my current state, I won't be too miserable if I were to encounter that First Elder again," Qin Yu thought to himself.
"I wonder how tough my body is now?"
Qin Yu was a little excited. He couldn't wait to go out and fight the First Elder again!
However, after contemplating the matter some more, Qin Yu decided it was best to wait until he had completely recovered from his injuries.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a rumbling sound coming from his stomach. He hadn't eaten for a few days, so now the feeling of hunger washed over him like a tsunami.
"Damn, I'm starving," Qin Yu muttered.
He took out a bunch of green pea-like pills from his Spatial Magical Artifact.
These pills were left behind by Wen Wanchong. Although they were small, they could fill his stomach in an instant.
"Fortunately, I still have those. I'll have to keep some in storage in the future," Qin Yu thought to himself.
After taking the pills, Qin Yu sat cross-legged on the ground and basked in the sun, slowly recovering from his injuries.
Outside, the First Elder and the others were still waiting.
Although they didn't need to eat, the surrounding environment was far too harsh. They were in an endless desert as far as the eye could see.
The surrounding spiritual energy was extremely thin. In such an environment, even they appear to be taxed to the extreme.
"First Elder, if Qin Yu doesn't come out, do we have to wait for him here forever?" someone asked.
First Elder snorted, "Until we catch him, none of us can leave this place!"
Then, the First Elder changed the topic and said lightly, "But you don't have to worry. When Zhen Yue is brought here, this little bastard has to come out even if he doesn't want to!"
...
The old man in the linen robe and his other two companions rushed toward the Tianyun Sect.
On their way, the old man exchanged a glance with his two companions, and they seemed to achieve a tacit understanding immediately.
At this time, the three of them suddenly stopped and dropped down from the sky.
Number Six, who was chasing behind them, also followed them down quickly.
He frowned as he questioned with some displeasure, "What are you doing? Why did you suddenly stop? Don't you know that the First Elder is waiting for us?"
The old man in the linen robe gave Number Six a look and said with a faint smile, "Why, can't we take a break?"
Number Six was the First Elder's personal guard, and was used to being arrogant and despotic. In the entire Tianyun Sect, not many people dared to provoke him.
Therefore, Number Six immediately lectured them, "I'm not tired, so why should you guys be tired? I think you lazy donkeys are wasting a lot of precious time! If the First Elder's important business is delayed by your laziness, can you be responsible for that?"
The old man in the linen robe narrowed his eyes and sneered, "We have toiled for the Tianyun Sect for so many years, but the First Elder is still wary of us. If that's the case, why should we be loyal to him?"
Number Six's expression changed. He backed away for a couple of steps and berated them, "What do you mean?! What nonsense are you spouting!"
"What do we mean?" The murderous intent surged from the old man in the linen robe.
He took out the First Elder's token and laughed coldly, "With this item, we could empty all the treasures of the First Elder and even take away everything in the Tianyun Sect's treasury! Did he really think it would do any good to send a trash like you to keep an eye on us?"
