Many large Sects have a rule: Disciples who leave the Sect must respond to the Fire Phoenix Sect's call when needed, but at the same time, they can also receive corresponding compensation.
This is a very common rule. Through this rule, the Sect can maintain contact with Disciples who have left, and when needed, there are people available for emergency deployment in various places.
The mission received by the Grand Elder was: Help the Sect Master bring back his runaway Young Miss.
This matter had spread long ago. A few days ago, someone even chatted with the Grand Elder about this on the tongshen jade talisman, saying that the tradition of the Su family of the Fire Phoenix Sect had been passed down, and this Su Xiaojiu still had great hope of breaking the previous runaway record.
When the Grand Elder was in the Fire Phoenix Sect, he had also seen Sect Master Su De's children run away. At that time, fellow Senior Brothers even opened a betting pool, gambling on how many days it would take the Sect Master to find them.
As a result, there was a huge upset at that time. Sect Master Su De's seemingly ordinary seventh son, Su Qi, actually hid for eleven and a half days.
And if he remembered correctly, today was the little guy's tenth day outside, making him the most hopeful person to set a new record.
However, this mission was assigned to him, which meant that the record probably couldn't be broken.
The mission details mentioned that Su Xiaojiu was robbed by mountain bandits in the mountains and used a Magical Artifact. The Sect Master could track this Magical Artifact, so he immediately notified him of the news.
The Sect Master rushing over might not necessarily be faster than him.
Su De looked at the precise positioning on the tongshen jade talisman and immediately set off, flying through the air.
This place was very close to Qingfeng Sect, just a few mountains away.
The bandit problem in the nearby mountains had always been severe. Qingfeng Sect frequently cleaned them out, but the mountain bandits could never be completely eliminated.
The Grand Elder flew in the air and soon felt a Qi Refining Stage tenth or eleventh level aura in the mountains.
He immediately confirmed that this was Su Xiaojiu.
The Grand Elder swooped down and landed heavily in front of her.
Su Xiaojiu was greatly startled.
"Ah!"
"This guy... how did he fall from the sky!"
"I am the Grand Elder of Qingfeng Sect, formerly a Disciple of the Fire Phoenix Sect, Young Miss Su, I am here to take you back to the Sect. This is Sect Master Su's instruction."
The moment Su Xiaojiu heard these words, she let out a wail and almost cried.
"You..."
The Grand Elder was a little at a loss.
What kind of madness was this again?
The information didn't say that this ninth child of Sect Master Su had a mental illness!
"I clearly already broke the record, how can... how can the time in that world not count!"
The Grand Elder was completely confused.
What 'that time in that world'?
And that record... it was simply absurd!
Of course, he didn't understand, because he hadn't experienced Transmigration.
Su Xiaojiu returned to the distance, which was the entrance of the dilapidated temple, only to find that the mountain bandits had just caught up to the entrance of the dilapidated temple.
She had thought that after two days, the mountain bandits should have left.
She bravely asked a question and only then realized that only a few minutes had passed in this world.
However, fortunately, her injuries had recovered, and the pursuers behind her were also exhausted.
From the perspective of those mountain bandits, Su Xiaojiu had just fought with them and was severely injured, but in an instant, she was fully recovered.
So Su Xiaojiu immediately charged with her sword.
She was severely injured before because she was ambushed and couldn't react in time. The strongest of those mountain bandits was only in the Early stage of the Spiritual Nurturing Realm. Although her Realm was low, she had many Magical Artifacts, Talismans, and Formations, so she could easily handle exhausted opponents.
Although she won, she also realized that the duration of her runaway time she had calculated before had to be recalculated.
Up until now, it had only been ten days.
If she included the two days on Earth, she could have reached twelve days, breaking her seventh brother's record.
"Young Miss, come with me. Sect Master Su is very worried about you."
The Grand Elder said while reporting the situation to the Fire Phoenix Sect on the tongshen jade talisman.
This was true.
Although the Fire Phoenix Sect and Qingfeng Sect were both in Dongzhou, they were far apart, so not finding her for so many days did not mean that Su De did not value Su Xiaojiu.
Su De had nine children, and seven of them were male. The more one lacks something, the more one likes it, so Su De especially doted on his two daughters.
When Su Xiaojiu ran away, Su De was still very worried.
But at his Realm, he couldn't run around everywhere, so he couldn't search for her himself.
The Grand Elder had even seen videos of Su De's furious outbursts taken by Fire Phoenix Sect Disciples on the tongshen jade talisman these past two days.
"Can you, can you give me another chance? Let me run for two more days, and then you can catch me and take me back! I just want to break a record!"
Su Xiaojiu pleaded.
However, the situation had already been reported, and the Grand Elder couldn't possibly say that a little Qi Refining Stage girl slipped away from his grasp, so he refused very decisively.
"No!"
Su Xiaojiu slumped to the ground, utterly dejected.
"I clearly succeeded..."
At the same time, a few mountains further away, Zhang Youcai, holding a small flag with the four large characters "Fair Dealing" written on it, looked at his Master, Jubao Daoren, with a large flag bearing the same four characters on his back, landing in front of him, and burst into tears.
"Master!"
Jubao Daoren frowned.
"Alright, alright, how old are you!"
Jubao Daoren reached out and poked Zhang Youcai, pouring Spiritual Qi into him to unlock the Seal on his body.
Yesterday, this guy cried to him for half a day on the tongshen jade talisman, saying that he had Transmigrated to another world and was captured by the natives of that world, who sealed his Spiritual Qi and locked him in a small dark room, not allowing him to come out.
He was able to connect to the tongshen jade talisman by biting a Spirit Stone and using the Spiritual Qi inside it to barely make the connection.
But the strange thing was that the world Zhang Youcai spoke of had no Spiritual Qi, yet the native there had a Soul Transformation Stage cultivation, which was extremely terrifying.
"Master! My countdown is still 48 hours, and now there are only twenty-something hours left. What if I go back there and get my Spiritual Qi sealed again! I don't want to be locked in a small dark room for the rest of my life, Master!"
Zhang Youcai cried even harder.
"Are you stupid! When you go back, they won't know your Seal is unlocked. You can just use a Talisman to escape!"
Jubao Daoren showed an expression of hating that iron couldn't be forged into steel and heavily tapped Zhang Youcai's head with his knuckles.
"Show me that good thing you said you found!"
Zhang Youcai chuckled and took out another qiankun bag from his qiankun bag.
He had handed over all the machinery he had snatched that day. He hadn't handed over the first two excavators he had snatched.
"Master, please look, this is an excavator! It doesn't require Spiritual Qi, Mortals can use it, it can move earth, it's especially useful!"
Zhang Youcai jumped onto the excavator, fiddled with it a bit, and it actually started rumbling. The mechanical arm also swung up, down, left, and right a few times, and the shovel heavily poked the ground and dug into the soil.
"Such a treasure exists!"
Jubao Daoren's eyes immediately lit up.
