Duan Ling Tian would have been caught if this was not the case.
The instant Sun Ying left, Elder Huo informed Duan Ling Tian about it. Duan Ling Tian instantly gestured to Gu Li and Zhu Lu Qi to leave. "He has already left to the south. He won't be back for the time being. Let's head west at our fastest speed. Let's travel for a month before we decide what to do next."
"Sure!" At this moment, Gu Li and Zhu Lu Qi both looked to Duan Ling Tian and waited for his instruction.
After three of them rose into the air, they flew west without even looking back. They did not dare to stop even for a moment.
"It's a good thing the old fellow only checked our Spatial Rings and hid in the dark to eavesdrop on us. If he had asked us to swear on the lightning penalty oath, all of us would have died!" Gu Li said while they were traveling. He felt really lucky.
"Indeed." Zhu Lu Qi expressed his agreement. After listening to Gu Li's words, he broke out in cold sweat. It was indeed a close call.
"However, I think it did not even cross his mind that we would uproot all the Spirit Gra.s.ses and Spirit Medicines in his herb garden when he wasn't watching us. I'm sure he didn't expect Junior Brother Ling Tian is able to tell that he was hiding or that we were acting," Gu Li said as he looked at Duan Ling Tian with admiration in his eyes.
"That's right." Zhu Lu Qi also nodded.
Up until now, Zhu Lu Qi still could not figure out how Duan Ling Tian was able to find out when the owner of the herb garden was not watching them. He did not think Duan Ling Tian was able to sense the Divine Consciousness of the herb garden's owner.
His cultivation base and Divine Consciousness were stronger than Duan Ling Tian, but even he could not detect the Divine Consciousness of the owner of the herb garden at all.
However, since Duan Ling Tian did not say anything about it, he and Gu Li were sensible enough to not question him about it. Everyone had their secrets after all.
Duan Ling Tian did not speak at all as he listened to Gu Li and Zhu Lu Qi's exchange. Their words made him break out in cold sweat since he was also worried about this matter before this.
"Elder Huo, why are you so certain he wouldn't make us swear on the lightning penalty oath?" Duan Ling Tian could not help but ask Elder Huo.
Previously, he had voiced his concern to Elder Huo. He was worried the owner of the herb garden would make them swear on the lightning penalty oath. However, Elder Huo was confident the owner of the herb garden would not make them swear on the lightning penalty oath. He had rea.s.sured Duan Ling Tian so that he would go ahead with the plan.
Although Duan Ling Tian felt slightly anxious, he decided to take the risk. In the end, it had paid off. He had successfully escaped from the owner of the herb garden.
Earlier, he was too happy that he had momentarily forgotten about this. When he heard Gu Li and Zhu Lu Qi's words, he was reminded about his earlier concern which prompted him to question Elder Huo.
"It's because of the mindset of a strong powerhouse," Elder Huo replied.
"The mindset of a strong powerhouse?" Duan Ling Tian was puzzled.

"To the owner of the herb garden, three of you are merely ants to him. If he wants information from three of you, there's no need for him to rely on the lightning penalty oath," Elder Huo said before he asked, "Try to imagine this. If you're in his shoes, would you even think of asking three people whom you think of as ants to swear on the lightning penalty oath?"
Duan Ling Tian fell silent for a moment when heard this.
He tried putting himself in the position of the owner of the herb garden. He discovered he would also rely on his own strength and would not rely on the lightning penalty oath!
"He did not expect I'll have someone like Elder Huo to help me. He'll definitely regret his decision!" When Duan Ling Tian regained his senses, he understood what Elder Huo meant by the mindset of a strong powerhouse. They were arrogant and looked down on others due to their confidence in their own strength!
"Moreover, who would ever expect that you possess the Seven Treasures Exquisite PaG.o.da and can store the stolen goods in there?" Elder Huo smiled.
"No matter what, it's all thanks to you that we managed to get out of trouble, Elder Huo. Thank you." Duan Ling Tian sincerely expressed his grat.i.tude to Elder Huo.
Although he was the owner of the Seven Treasures Exquisite PaG.o.da, and he could be considered as Elder Huo's master since he was the paG.o.da spirit of the Seven Treasures Exquisite PaG.o.da, he had never regarded Elder Huo as his subordinate. From the beginning until the end, he had always treated Elder Huo as his senior.
As it turned out, he had made the right decision. Due to this reason, Elder Huo had always helped him unreservedly and did not keep things to himself.
During the tenth day when Duan Ling Tian and his two companions were traveling west, Sun Ying who made his way south still did not catch the person who had looted from his herb garden. Moreover, he did not find any traces of the person at all.
"Don't tell me this person's strength is not inferior to mine?" Sun Ying stood in the air and looked below him with a terrifyingly grave expression on his face.
As he thought more about it, he felt that it was impossible. There were only about 200 people in the entire Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land whose strength was not inferior to his strength. Apart from that, they were all famous powerhouses on the Supreme Saint Ranking! It was impossible for those people to stoop so low and commit such a sneaky act!
Moreover, in the eyes of these powerhouses, although the Spirit Gra.s.ses and Spirit Medicines that he planted were good, it was not enough for them to risk offending him.
In the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land, he was ranked 300th in terms of strength. However, in regards to Medicine Dao, as a Quasi Celestial Grade Saint Refinement Master, he could be considered to be in the top three among all Medicine Dao Saint Refinement Masters in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land!
It was not worth it for anybody to offend him just for Spirit Gra.s.ses and Spirit Medicines.
"Could it be that fellow who had done this?" Sun Ying's gaze suddenly turned cold. Among his many rivals, there was only one man who was stronger than him.
However, Sun Ying soon dismissed this possibility. 'Wait a minute! There are not more than five people in the entire Upper Province who are privy to the location of my herb garden. It's impossible for that person to do this. There only one possibility left, something's not right with those three ants from the Lower Province!' Sun Ying immediately turned around the moment he thought of this.
When he returned to his herb garden, he discovered the three people whom he had regarded as ants had long left the herb garden. Moreover, despite his thorough search in the north, east, and west, he could not find any traces of the three men.
At this moment, he was certain those three men from the Lower Province had escaped a long time ago.
"They actually ran away! Could they have done this as well?" Killing intent appeared in Sun Ying eyes.
However, up until now, Sun Ying only knew three of them had escaped. He was uncertain if they were the ones who had stolen the Spirit Gra.s.ses and Spirit Medicines from his herb garden.
First of all, he did not think the three of them would dare to do so under his watch since they could not sense when he was monitoring them.
Secondly, he did not think they were acting when he had hidden himself and watched them since he did not think they could sense his presence.
"However, even if they did not steal the Spirit Gra.s.ses and Spirit Medicines, to think they actually dare to defy my order and run away. They'll definitely die if I encounter them in the future!" Sun Ying sentenced three of them to death in his heart.
