Chapter 614: Exiting the Grotto Heaven (II)
From the distance came the sound of clanging metal as Tu Longjian, clad in black, descended slowly. The black-and-red token beside him was suppressing a golden ring, causing it to tremble violently in midair, glowing red-hot as it burned.
"Cloudsunder has slipped away. I have lost its trail," he murmured.
Li Xuanfeng's expression remained impassive as he handed over Yu Muxian's storage pouch, speaking in a hoarse voice, "Many thanks for your tireless assistance. Here is this man's storage pouch—it has not been opened."
Tu Longjian hesitated briefly before opening the storage pouch. The Six Ding Merging Fire rose from within as he casually wiped away the seals and traps on the pouch.
Still nursing the wound on his abdomen, Tu Longjian didn't hold back, taking out valuable medicinal pills and elixirs for himself. He also removed a few healing salves, which he applied to Li Xuanfeng's injuries.
Yu Muxian's possessions were indeed of high quality. Li Xuanfeng's wounds began to heal visibly, the torn flesh knitting itself back together. Although the injuries on his hands remained, they were far less ghastly than before.
Tu Longjian rummaged through the storage pouch, retrieving a jade box, which he kept for himself, along with several other items. He then returned the storage pouch to Li Xuanfeng, who handed it to Xiao Yongling, saying softly: "Thank you, Senior. Please take a few items as compensation."
Xiao Yongling looked at him silently before hesitating slightly. He picked up two artifacts from the ground before glancing through the storage pouch. Meanwhile, Tu Longjian remarked softly, "Senior, there is still something of yours in that golden ring."
Tu Longjian intensified the flames, and after a few breaths, the two Purple Mansion Realm spirit artifacts ceased their battle. The Binding Ring let out a puff of black smoke, spitting out a small golden orb.
