I Can Extract Everything

Chapter 39 - Chasing But Getting Nothing

"This guy called Lu Yun is indeed problematic, but he's not a person who likes to find trouble for no reason." Gao Peng said.

"Reason?" Qin Yi felt helpless. ​​

If I know the reason, do I still need to consult you?

"No, what I mean is, someone must have given him a reason to act like that to you."

"Oh? What do you mean, Brother Gao?"

"I heard rumors from other people that Lu Yun is kind of a nasty guy willing to harm other people if someone pays him to do that. In other words, someone must pay him well in order for him to cause trouble for you. Since you are under the 'protection' of Yang Kai, that person probably wouldn't dare to do it openly. Thus, he or she could only hire Lu Yun." Gao Peng explained.

Qin Yi frowned when he heard that.

If Gao Peng's explanation is correct, then who did he actually offend?

Who was the person who had paid Lu Yun to cause trouble for him?

This matter really gives him quite a headache.

He shook his head.

'Anyway, my mission with Lu Yun still has a long way to go. I'll endure it, but only if he attacks verbally. I hope he doesn't have a funny idea. Otherwise…' Qin Yi said coldly in his heart.

Seeing Qin Yi, who fell silent, Gao Peng couldn't help but warn: "Brother Qin, don't take Lu Yun lightly! When someone pays him to do something to you, it's by no means just being hostile towards you. That nasty guy can do extreme things like making you fail in this mission; as a result, you would have not only offended the unknown person, but you might also offend Elder Hua."

Qin Yi's expression turned grave upon hearing this warning.

What Gao Peng said has some truth in it too, and it could be a possibility.

In the future, he shouldn't let his guard down when dealing with Lu Yun.

"I see, Brother Gao. I will pay attention to it!"

"That's great if you-!"

Before Gao Peng could finish his sentence, his face suddenly changed, and he immediately looked back.

Qin Yi furrowed his eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong Brother Gao?"

"There are people following us... one... two-, no, there are three people following us!" Gao Peng muttered as he continued to spread his spiritual sense.

"What?!" Qin Yi was startled.

"Are you sure? Maybe they're just sect disciples who just happened to pass by here?"

"No! I'm sure they've been following us ever since we left the city. They've constantly been probing their spiritual sense towards us. At first, I thought they were just doing it for fun since there are always people like that everywhere, but who would have thought they are still doing that until now."

"Well... they aren't bold enough to intercept or attack us right? After all, this place is still within the reach of the sect's territory."

"...Perhaps, let's speed up!"

Thus, Gao Peng and Qin Yi started to speed up.

Meanwhile, on the other hand, the three men, who were 30 meters away behind Gao Peng and Qin Yi, started to have a conversation.

"Fourth Big Brother, they're speeding up. I think they've noticed our presence." The skinny man who was walking in the front informed the both in the back.

"Hmph, so what if they find out? It's too late." The fourth Brother arrogantly said.

He is a large, burly man who wore a sleeveless robe. He is also the eldest among the three brothers.

"That's right, we never expected that the Milky White Fruit would appear in this city, and the other person also has a magical beast egg; it is quite worth the money. Since these treasures appeared right in front of us, how could we not grab them?"

This time it was the Fifth Brother who spoke; he had an average stature and face.

"Fourth Big Brother, Fifth Big Brother, since we've been found out, there's no point in acting sneaky anymore. Let's go catch them before they get to the Sleeping Dragon Sect."

"Let's go!"

***

Gao Peng, who was running along with Qin Yi, suddenly changed his face drastically.

"That's not good, they are also speeding up their movement. With their speed like this, we won't have time to reach the sect!"

"Brother Gao, do you know who they are?"

Qin Yi asked curiously. He felt that the pursuers were very bold to chase the Sleeping Dragon Sect's disciples at their site.

"If I'm not mistaken, they are the Three Yang Brothers. Recently, they have been actively attacking and robbing outer sect disciples. Fortunately, no one lost their lives in their robbing. Even so, their names are currently on the wanted list in Mission Hall, and the mission color to hunt them is Red." Gao Peng replied.

The Red Paper missions signify "Danger." These missions usually involve hunting or killing something. Once you take on this mission, you may lose your life.

However, these missions usually offer very generous rewards. Hence, even though they are dangerous, many disciples are still determined to take them.

"According to the information provided in the Mission Hall, the respective strengths of the Three Yang Brothers are: Third Stage of Qi Condensation Realm for the youngest brother, Fifth Stage of Qi Condensation Realm for the second oldest brother, and Sixth Stage of Qi Condensation Realm for the oldest brother. Therefore, it is impossible for us to confront them."

"Then, what should we do, Brother Gao? It seems we have no other choice but to flee." Qin Yi said seriously.

Gao Peng looked at Qin Yi and hesitated for a while before saying, "I can escape alone, but you! How could I leave you alone? In any case, they are aiming for the Milky White Fruit in my hands; as long as I give it to them, they probably would only hurt us without daring to kill us."

Qin Yi coughed awkwardly; he certainly knew the escape means of Gao Peng.

Gao Peng had a Rank 1 Talisman called the Wind Escape Talisman. It is a life-saving talisman that is worth 700 merit points in the Treasure Pavilion.

As a Treasure Pavilion extractor, how could Qin Yi not have such a talisman? Moreover, he had 4 of them, plus the 1 he got from Gao Peng's storage bag.

In other words, he had 5 Wind Escape Talismans that were idle in the system storage and could be used at any time.

Qin Yi immediately made up an excuse to Gao Peng.

"Brother Gao, you really don't need to worry about me. I can use a life-saving talisman of mine to escape from their pursuit."

"You have a life-saving talisman?" Gao Peng was stunned.

How could he not be surprised? In his opinion, Qin Yi ss only a disciple from the Novice's Quarter with no cultivation background.

He also unfortunately fell into poverty as soon as he entered the outer sect after Yang Kai's men devoured all his spirit stones.

Then, how could he afford to have a life-saving talisman?

The life-saving talismans are by no means cheap and easy-to-obtain items, even he needed to spend the 700 merit points he had accumulated over two years to exchange it in the Treasure Pavilion.

Qin Yi seemed to understand what Gao Peng was thinking. Thus, he said: "Brother Gao, you must be curious about how I can have a life-saving talisman right? It is a gift from the person who recommended me to the sect. That person said that it would come in handy in the future, so I have to save it until the last moment."

"Previously, I didn't know anything about this item, but after I learned a lot in the sect, I finally found out that it is a life-saving talisman that can save me in a dangerous situation."

"Oh, I see." Gao Peng nodded in understanding.

Qin Yi's explanation was quite reasonable, so he didn't overthink.

"You're really lucky, Brother Qin. Life-saving talismans are very expensive, so you should value them well. However, since we're facing a precarious situation, it's time for us to use our life-saving talismans!"

"Come on, this matter better be reported to the Mission Hall and let the other disciples take care of the Three Yang Brothers."

Qin Yi nodded in agreement, and then he took out the Wind Escape Talisman from the system storage.

The moment the two of them injected their spiritual energy into the talisman, their figures moved as fast as the wind and instantly disappeared from the spot.

With this kind of speed, the Three Yang Brothers couldn't possibly catch up with them unless they also had a similar talisman or something stronger.

The Seventh Brother, who was leading the chase, suddenly stopped and frowned.

His two brothers also stopped.

"What is it?" The fourth Brother said displeased, "If we don't hurry, we could lose our quarry."

"We've lost them." The seventh Brother shook his head in frustration.

"How come? Aren't we not far from them?" The fifth Brother was astounded and in disbelief.

"They probably used a life-saving talisman to escape our pursuit. Anyway, it's already impossible for us to catch up with these two. By now, they might have arrived at the sect and reported our news. It's not good for us to stay here any longer, let's go back!"

"What? What do you mean Seventh? Do you say that we have to give up? They are only of the Fifth Stage of Qi Condensation Realm and the First Stage of Qi Condensation Realm. How could they possibly have life-saving talismans? They are probably hiding somewhere!"

"Fourth Big Brother, we have completely lost them. I'm sure of it! We must leave immediately unless we wish to face their reinforcements."

"Let's go Fourth, what Seventh said is true. It would be bad if we are to be surrounded by their reinforcements!"

"Ah, damn it! I'll definitely remember them!"
