Chapter 42 Herbs Robbed
"Elder Qiuye, something terrible has happened! The medicinal herbs our sect ordered have been hijacked!!"
"What? How could we be robbed? We've been using those routes for years, where would these robbers come from???"
The group responsible for purchasing the medicinal herbs was composed of outer sect disciples, escorted by over twenty members of the Enforcement Hall! Such a force was actually robbed!
Qiu Ye rushed to the Enforcement Hall and saw the disciples who had escorted the medicinal herbs lying on the ground.
Su Li also received the news, and as soon as he stepped into the Hall of Law Enforcement, he heard wails all over the place.
"Ouch...be gentle...my arm..."
"It hurts so much...my leg...can I save my leg...?"
Qiu Ye's eyelids twitched, and she hurriedly instructed the sect disciples to prepare elixirs to stop the bleeding and help the patient recover.
Su Li squinted as Liu Yang asked what had happened to the men who were still able to move.
"Master, those people are all masked and dressed in black, so we have no idea who they are!"
Those bastards must have deliberately ambushed our Yun Dan Sect! *cough cough*
"That's right! Hall Master, it must have been those bastards from the Lan Clan's Pill Sect who did it!!"
Another disciple covered his head and said.
"That movement technique is clearly from the Alchemist Guild. I would recognize one of them even if he were reduced to ashes!"
Liu Yang's chest heaved with anger. These medicinal herbs were for refining the Foundation Establishment Pills, and now they were gone...
"You bastards! All the brothers who can still move, get up! I refuse to believe we can't find out who it is!!!"
Qiu Ye said tremblingly from the side.
"How do we check? At this time, medicinal herbs are the most crucial thing!!!"
Liu Yang felt a tightness in his chest, but the group of people were clearly well-prepared. If they really investigated, it would probably be a waste of time.
"Elder Qiuye... how are we going to explain this to the Sect Master???"
Liu Yang still remembers Yun Aotian's high spirits on the day he left.
He took away half of the sect's wine cellar and said he would drink those bastards under the table, even if they drank themselves to death, he would make them watch this Foundation Establishment Ceremony!
But now, we don't even have the medicinal herbs, so how can we refine elixirs?
After pondering for a moment, Qiu Ye said.
"Dispatch all disciples below the second rank to the surrounding area to buy them, regardless of price, as long as they can be purchased!"
"Wait!"
Su Li suddenly spoke.
"Elder Qiuye, since those people were able to hijack the carriage, they must have already bought up all the medicinal herbs nearby, right?"
Qiu Ye felt a tightness in her chest and almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
He glared at Su Li helplessly.
"Then what's your plan?! You expect me to rob it?!"
Su Li smiled at Elder Qiuye.
"Elder Qiuye's method is good, Captain Liu Yang, let's listen to Elder Qiuye!"
Autumn leaves: ....
Liu Yang:...
Go, go rob?
Qiu Ye was so angry she wanted to strangle Su Li; she was such a troublemaker!
Currently, Xiao Jiuge and True Person Zilong are in seclusion refining the fourth-grade pills needed by the Vast Expanse Sect, while the Earth Pill Sect and Su Li are sulking and ignoring sect affairs!
At this point, she actually encouraged Liu Yang to go out and steal medicinal herbs?!
The disciples of the Enforcement Hall were completely bewildered. What was going on? Who were they robbing? When were they going to make their move? It sounded exciting!
Qiu Ye sighed and waved her hand as if shooing away flies.
"The sect still has some medicinal herbs. You just need to focus on refining pills. You don't need to worry about these things!"
Su Li, however, did not set off.
"Elder Qiuye, I'm not joking with you! I, the Vice Sect Master, agree to your suggestion of seizing the medicinal herbs!"
Qiuye: !!! What do you mean by his proposed method of stealing medicinal herbs?!
Excitement gleamed in Liu Yang's eyes as he licked his chapped lips.
"Vice Sect Master, how exactly did they rob us?"
Qiu Ye: "Outrageous!! Liu Yang, what nonsense are you spouting? Our Yun Dan Sect is a legitimate sect. Do you think we would follow the example of those petty scoundrels?!"
"Such an inhumane and unjust thing, I would rather die than do it!"
Liu Yang winked at his two trusted confidants.
The two trusted aides immediately stepped forward and grabbed Elder Qiuye's arms.
"Yes, yes, yes, our Yun Dan Sect has always been upright and honest. We would rather die than do such petty theft!"
"Come on, Elder Qiuye, calm down. What does a mere girl like the Deputy Sect Master know? Isn't our Yun Dan Sect under your command?"
Qiu Ye, who was quite old and short, was so anxious that he kicked his legs as he was suspended in mid-air by two burly Chinese men.
As soon as Qiu Ye was placed on the shelf, Liu Yang came over.
"Vice Sect Master, are you really going to rob us?"
Su Li's eyes flashed with the anger of a small animal whose food had been taken away.
Those were the medicinal herbs Su Li wanted! Those were the herbs Yun Aotian stole from Elder Qiu Ye's retirement savings to purchase!!
When Liu Yang asked him a question, Su Li only said two words!
"We must seize it!!!"
These two words instantly ignited the passion of everyone in the Enforcement Hall.
The guys who were just yelling a moment ago no longer have leg pain, and their arms are all better! They're all shouting and ready to go all out!
Just as everyone was getting ready to fight, a younger boy from the Enforcement Hall...
He said in a low voice.
"We don't even know who stole it, so who are we supposed to get revenge on???"
The two disciples who had been arguing earlier, one insisted that it was the Lan Clan's Pill Sect, while the other swore that it was the Alchemist Guild.
The other disciples chimed in with their own opinions.
"There aren't only these two alchemy sects; maybe there are other smaller sects..."
Liu Yang looked at Su Li with some difficulty. Asking him to fight was one thing, but this kind of mental task was really a bit too much for him...
Su Li pondered for a moment, then took out a piece of paper!
"Everyone, don't rush. Take turns speaking and tell us which sects you suspect and why."
One of the disciples immediately said.
"It must be those bastards from the Lan Clan's Pill Sect. Their Lan Clan's Pill Sect is a declining family that has only emerged in recent years."
They built their empire by giving a woman to the Heavenly Emperor! Over the years, they've stolen countless businesses from our Cloud Pill Sect!
Another disciple retorted, unconvinced.
“Vice Sect Master, although one of the robbers was masked, I recognized him at a glance as Hao Ergou, an outer disciple of the Alchemy Guild!”
His eyes are exactly the same as his old dog's. We're from the same village, I absolutely can't mistake him!!
Su Li took notes very seriously, and after the two finished speaking, he looked at the other disciples.
"Which other sects are suspected? Don't let any of them get away with having a grudge against our Yun Dan Sect!"
By the way, regarding the Lan Clan Pill Sect and the Alchemist Guild you two mentioned, where is their headquarters? What routes do they usually take to purchase medicinal herbs? And when do they commit their crimes?
Liu Yang hadn't expected Su Li to be such a good investigator! He trusted him so much.
Soon, the disciples started talking about five or six other minor sects. These sects either had a grudge against the Yun Dan Sect or had taken away business from the Yun Dan Sect.
Su Li frowned for a while, then pondered for a long time before asking the disciples where the sect they mentioned was located.
They also inquired in detail about the sources and transportation routes of the medicinal materials they needed.
Surprisingly, some of these disciples did know the information and shared quite a bit of useful information.
Su Li asked more and more detailed questions, even finding out how many vehicles they usually used, how many people accompanied them, and what their cultivation levels were.
Liu Yang's heart pounded with fear. Was Su Li planning to kill him and rob him...?
