RPAGF Chapter 209 Unexpected Trouble
Chapter 209 Unexpected Trouble
The seabed was dark, with only occasional glimmers of light flashing by.
It took Liu Jun about half an hour to reach his destination. He then wandered around the area and repaired the protective array twice, but still couldn't find any trace of the Blood Coral.
This was no ordinary sea area; the pressure on the seabed was terrifyingly high. In just a short while, they were preparing to repair the shield for the third time. The illumination talisman in his hand was about to burn out, so Liu Jun put on another one.
The area illuminated by the talisman was roughly the same as the area within sight, so Liu Jun didn't want to waste her eyesight; she had plenty of talismans like this anyway.
But apart from those strange sea creatures, there were hardly any plants to be seen, let alone any trace of blood coral.
Liu Jun took the map and looked at it a few more times. She had already explored all the places with local products and even used her divine sense to scan them. She figured there wouldn't be anything she needed.
Having put away the map, I was preparing to use my spirit to fly to another place where blood coral was produced. I had seen enough of the underwater world after walking for half an hour, so flying would be faster.
Before they had flown far from the previous point, they saw what looked like a fight ahead, and Liu Jun was forced to stop and watch from a distance.
The ocean floor is so vast, why did they have to fight on this particular road?
Liu Jun took out the map and looked at it a couple more times. Then he looked up at the group of people who were exchanging spells in the distance. The people were fine, but the fish and shrimp around them were suffering. They must be fighting over some treasure.
After collecting the map, Liu Jun chose to take a detour. Her only purpose this time was to collect the blood coral and bone shell. As for the rest, there were no owners to collect them, and if there were, she didn't care. Anyway, she wouldn't be short of those things.
After estimating the distance, Liu Jun quickly flew away from the accident site.
It was just an unexpected encounter, and had nothing to do with her. Liu Jun didn't intend to get involved, but someone just wouldn't let her have her way.
Lu Mingming had just gotten back on track after taking most of the detour when a beam of red magic broke through her protective array, grazed her temple, and exploded in front of her. Liu Jun's pupils shrank, and she instantly put on a defensive barrier and leaped back several meters to barely dodge it.
Before they could even catch their breath, a very arrogant voice came from behind: "Tch! Another one. Little girl, get out of my way and don't get in my way of getting the Sea Dome Ice Crystal!"
Liu Jun picked up a strand of hair that had been cut off, glanced at it, and turned his head to look at it with an inscrutable expression.
The three men, covered in injuries, were surrounded by six or seven men dressed in identical clothes. The men speaking were the leaders who were in the lead.
"Bah! We clearly got the Sea Dome Ice Crystal first! How many people have you thieves from Crimson Water Cave stolen from these past few months!"
Who is right and who is wrong is clear at a glance.
The tall, burly leader sneered, "Ridiculous! The treasure is right there. Whoever is stronger will naturally get it!"
Another henchman chimed in, "That's right! Do you think our boss would let something he's set his sights on get away? You can only blame yourselves for being useless! Kid, try again in your next life, hahaha!"
One of the men being besieged said angrily, "Aren't you afraid that the Menjing clan will come back for revenge?!"
"Oh my, how scary! Besides being the direct disciple of the Shangyu Sect's leader, what else does Men Jing have to brag about? Oh, I almost forgot, Ran Rensha is just a good-for-nothing now, a good-for-nothing who'd die for our lord, hahahaha!"
As they talked, they completely forgot that there was someone in the distance; they were completely disregarding that person.
Liu Jun coldly stared at those extremely arrogant and confident people, completely ignoring the fact that she, who had almost been accidentally injured by them, was still there.
"You broke my magic array and damaged my hair. Tell me, how are you going to compensate me?"
Although it was just a normal speaking volume, the chilling voice still penetrated the ears of everyone present.
The group looked over and saw that the woman who had almost been injured was still standing there.
The leader took a closer look at the woman and immediately became interested: "Oh ho, you're still here? With that pretty face, you want to stay and have some fun with us?"
One of his men walked over and said, "Boss, this girl is pretty good too, much better than that dirty one."
The only woman among those surrounded immediately turned pale; these villains were actually targeting her.
Then he looked at the woman in the distance, his expression somber. But she was barely able to take care of herself, so what right did she have to care?
Ran Renjing bit her lower lip, seemingly lost in thought. After a moment, she looked up and suddenly shouted, "Miss, run! This has nothing to do with you! They are all evil people!"
Liu Jun shifted his gaze to the woman. Although she was being protected by the other two, she was in no better condition than them.
This was a matter that should have been settled by now, but the red light just happened to hit her squarely, damaging her hair that had never been broken for thousands of years.
The woman's expression was earnest and genuine, suggesting she was a child who had been well protected at home.
"Originally, I just wanted some compensation, but now I can't just stand by and watch someone die."
Liu Jun slowly approached, his eyes as clear as glass, devoid of any emotional fluctuation.
"Speak, you've knocked out a strand of my hair that I've protected for thousands of years. How do you plan to compensate me?"
The leader burst into laughter: "Hahaha! What are you trying to prove, you little brat! If you know what's good for you, play along and I'll forgive your mistake!"
Liu Jun sighed silently. Are all the people here so arrogant? It's unbelievable that I've encountered something like this twice in one day.
Penglaijian is still better. Although there are still some like that, at least you won't get lustful just because you see a woman. Is there something wrong with the air in southern Anhui?
"Don't want to pay? No problem, I'll just take it myself after you die."
"Hmph! Arrogant! I haven't seen such a cocky little brat in a long time. I'll call you later, you... Pfft!!!"
Before he could finish speaking, a sword pierced through his dantian, then turned and stabbed into his heart before exiting again. His men didn't even have time to react before their leader died.
Liu Jun calmly sheathed his sword and then beckoned with his finger, causing everything on the leader's corpse to automatically float to his front.
"Hmm, there are indeed quite a few good things, enough to compensate for that lock of my hair."
He accepted the items, glanced once more at the corpse that had no foothold in the water, and then turned to look at his men who were still in a daze.
"Where's yours?"
"Give it all to the Venerable One!"
"Quickly, take out whatever you have on you!"
The group immediately emptied their pockets and respectfully presented their belongings.
"Tsk, so poor."
These tattered willow branches were not taken seriously at all. After picking out a few items that were still acceptable, he said, "Go, and never let me see you again."
"Yes, yes, thank you for your great kindness, Venerable One!"
"Let's go now!"
After bowing in thanks, the group grabbed the leader's body and fled desperately, fearing they would die if they were slow. The remaining three people stared in disbelief.
Liu Jun looked up: "Oh right, there's one more I forgot."
Then came a scream from afar. The seabed was too dark, and the distance was too far to see the blood mist that accompanied the scream.
The three who remained looked at each other for a moment before bowing respectfully to the person who had saved them: "Thank you for saving us, senior!"
Liu Jun brushed aside the pile of garbage in front of him before looking at them.
"He injured my blue hair and spoke rudely, but it has nothing to do with you."
Ran Renjing replied, "We were presumptuous, but we still have to thank you. Senior, you meant no harm, but we were able to escape this predicament. We must thank you no matter what."
Liu Jun glanced at her again: "She is quite polite."
Ran Renjing was somewhat embarrassed: "We are currently penniless and have nothing to offer as a token of our gratitude. We only have a piece of Sea Dome Ice Crystal... but someone in our family urgently needs this ice crystal, and we hope that you, senior..."
Is he afraid she's also here to steal this?
"It's alright. I didn't come here for this reason, and this thing is of no use to me anyway."
Ran Renjing smiled and bowed again: "Thank you for your understanding, senior. If you ever need our help in the future, please go to Fuchuan to find the Menjing clan. The clan will definitely repay you in the best of its ability!"
Fuchuan?
It seems Liu Jun heard correctly. Fu Chuan has the Shang Yu Sect in charge, and the Shang Yu Sect leader's personal disciple is none other than Ran Ren Sha, who was tricked by a scumbag and left half-paralyzed.
Sea dome ice crystals do indeed have the effect of healing damage to the dantian. Judging by the time, Lu Xihan should go and heal Ran Rensha's dantian.
Some people and some things have indeed been changed, but the river of fate continues to flow in that direction, and no one can change that.
Liu Jun lowered his eyes, turned around, and left a message for the three of them before leaving.
"Regarding your family's affairs, you may be able to resolve them by seeking out a person at the Xuanshan Gate of Penglai Stream—Lu Xihan."
Before the three could react, the person in front of them had vanished.
"Sister?"
Ran Renjing remained silent, staring blankly at the void before her.
"...I heard about this person from Sha'er."
