Chapter 8 — The Secret Behind the Jade

Or to be more precise — the Wind Ma Hap inside me. That day, I had just finished cleaning the animal cage and was about to go eat. On the way, he was stopped by two people. One male and one female. The man was dressed as an inner sect disciple, his face was cold, his eyes were as sharp as knives. The woman was wearing the clothes of an outer sect manager - I knew her, she was the newly promoted manager of the herb garden, her last name was Ton, famous for her foul mouth and strictness. "Tham Vi?" Manager Ton squinted at me, his eyes as if evaluating an item. "Manager Ton." I bowed my head, a bad premonition rising in my heart. "Someone reported," manager Ton's shrill voice rang out, "saying you stole spirit herbs from the spirit grass garden many times! What great courage!" My heart sank to the bottom. Obviously I was very careful when I took the silver-edged grass plants! "I don't have any." I tried to stay calm. “No?” The inner sect disciple next to me laughed coldly, suddenly raised his hand, and shot a jet of dark light at me! Too fast, I didn't have time to dodge! The light hit my chest directly — I didn't feel any pain. But the silver-edged plants and green grass that I hid carefully with the lining close to my body - as if being pulled by something - flew straight out in one fell swoop, falling into the hands of that inner sect disciple! "The evidence is clear! Do you still dare to deny it!" Manager Sun shouted loudly, his voice filled with anger. "How could Senior Brother Trieu's 'Spirit Search' technique be wrong? You are just a lowly servant who dares to steal spiritual herbs - according to sect rules, you must abolish your cultivation and be expelled from the sect!" Abandoned cultivation? What kind of cultivation do I have to be useless? Obviously he wanted to take my life! "That's the grass I dug up behind the mountain!" I hastily explained. “Behind the mountain?” Senior brother Trieu curled his lips and smiled coldly, "All the spiritual herbs at the back of the mountain are under the management of the spiritual herb garden! Anyone who picks them without permission is a thief!" He shook a few stalks of grass in his hand, his eyes full of greed: "'Bich Tam Thao' and 'Nng Tuyen Lan', their quality is not bad, their value is not small. Tham Vi, do you know the crime?" Manager Ton, standing next to him, continued: "Senior brother Trieu is a law enforcement disciple of the Precept Hall! The evidence is clear! Tham Vi, why don't you kneel down and confess! I looked at the two people singing in front of me, and finally understood. Why are you stealing grass? Obviously you want to steal the spiritual herbs I dug up! This name, senior brother Trieu, was definitely invited by manager Ton to "show off"! I was so angry that my whole body was shaking. "I didn't steal! I didn't steal at all!" "You stupid, unreasonable person!" Senior brother Trieu's eyes flashed coldly, "Then don't blame me for being rude!" He took a step forward, his whole body's aura bursting out violently! The pressure of a Truc Co monk is like a mountain pressing down on me! My chest choked up, as if I had been hit by a rock. I knelt down on the ground with a thud, my throat choked, and I almost spat out blood! This is the power of monks! Compared to him, I'm nothing more than an ant! "Hand it over!" Brother Trieu shouted loudly, his hand like an eagle's claw tearing through the wind and rushing straight into my chest! His goal was not a few blades of grass! It's... Phong Ma Hap! He has felt it! I immediately understood — Manager Sun was just a front! Senior brother Trieu is the one aiming for Phong Ma Hap! He wants to steal it! I hugged my chest tightly! Are not! Cannot deliver! The piece of jade that once said — it belongs to it! Just as Senior Brother Trieu's hand was about to touch my chest— Onggg!!! An echo that seemed to come from the deepest soul! The piece of jade on my chest exploded with unprecedented brilliance, as bright as the sun! That light instantly covered my whole body! As soon as Senior Brother Trieu's hand touched it, it was like touching red-hot iron! “Aaaa——!!!” He screamed in agony! His entire hand instantly burned black, emitting smoke! A huge aura of pressure

Indescribable horror, like an ancient beast awakening, with me as the center, roaring out! Boom——! The entire ground of the spirit beast park shook violently! All the spirit beasts in the cage let out panicked howls! Senior brother Trieu and manager Ton seemed to be hit directly by an invisible hammer! Phew! Phew! Both of them spat out blood at the same time, their bodies were thrown away like torn bags, hitting the ground dozens of feet away! Dust everywhere! Senior Brother Trieu's blackened hand twisted strangely. He looked at me with extremely panicked eyes, as if he had just seen a ghost. Tried to crawl up, but spat out another mouthful of blood, then passed out. Manager Ton was even more miserable, he fell limp on the ground, blood poured out of his mouth and nose, and he fell unconscious. The light from the jade pendant gradually receded. The terrible pressure that seemed to destroy the whole world also disappeared. I remained standing in place, completely unharmed. But the jade pendant on his chest was as hot as scorching. The message conveyed was filled with violence and discomfort: “It's so noisy!” “Get out!” This... has gotten big. Trieu the deacon of the Precept Hall and the administrator Ton of the Spiritual Herb Garden were seriously injured by a... janitor right at the Spiritual Beast Garden. The news spread like wings, and soon shocked the entire outer sect and even spread to the inner sect. I - an insider - was immediately "invited" back to the Discipline Hall by several Disciples of the Law Hall, with a serious attitude as if they were escorting a criminal. It says "invite", but it clearly means escorting. Their eyes looked at me filled with fear and disbelief. In the main hall of the Precept Hall, the atmosphere was as tense as a piano string. On high chairs were several elders with profound cultivation and solemn expressions. Senior brother Trieu and manager Ton were carried up, their faces pale, their injuries extremely serious. Especially Senior Brother Trieu - his entire arm was completely disabled. "Tham Vi!" A cold-faced elder shouted loudly: "Do you know your crime?"
