Lee Tao landed on the ground with a gloomy expression.

The tree was really comfortable, and that bitch had the nerve to destroy it.

“You are really gutsy, woman.” Lee Tao sneered coldly.

Chang Xiu shrugged her shoulders.

“Anything can happen in a fight, and those two magical beasts simply crashed into the tree you were camping on.” Chang Xiu said innocently.

Although she may have made it seem like it was out of her control, Lee Tao was sure she did it on purpose.

“Tsk, this is why I hate women the most. Always remembering their vengeance no matter what.” Lee Tao snorted coldly.

GROWL!

Suddenly, the two magical beasts that crashed into the tree growled angrily at Lee Tao when they saw a newcomer.

“Shut the fuck up!” 

Alas, they had messed with the wrong person as Lee Tao casually flicked two strings of profound qi toward the forehead of the magical beasts.

The two strings of his profound qi easily pierced through their forehead, and a large hole was created.

With a loud plop sound, the two magical beasts had fallen down as they lay dead on the ground.

Chang Xiu and her fellow disciples nearly had their jaws dropped when they witnessed Lee Tao’s prowess.

“H-How did he kill them with such ease?”

“N-N-No wonder why Senior Apprentice-Sister Chang Xiu told us not to act rashly…”

It was only at this moment that they understood Chang Xiu’s warning.

Lee Tao was a wolf in sheep’s clothing. His cultivation in the Elementary Spirit Realm was most likely a fake or a facade to deceive them.

“My name is Chang Xiu, an inner disciple at the Xinghui Sect.” Chang Xiu cupped her fist toward Lee Tao as she introduced herself.

“So?” 

“Aren’t you going to introduce yourself?”

“Why should I?” Lee Tao scoffed as he turned around and proceeded to walk toward the corpse.

With a wave, Lee Tao had stored the two magical beasts into his spatial ring.

“Hey, how can you take it all for yourself?”

“We have also dealt damage to it. How could you be so shameless?”

As the males started to question his behavior, Chang Xiu was more cautious than ever.

‘Seems like he’s not afraid of our sect…’ She thought.

By revealing her identity, she had purposely wanted Lee Tao to know about her background.

Alas, she had failed to find any reaction from him. Heck, it was like he didn’t even give a damn about where she belonged.

Meanwhile, Lee Tao chuckled softly at their small brain cell.

“So what if you deal a lot of damage?” Lee Tao asked in humor. “I’m the guy who dealt the final blow, meaning I’m the last hitter. Thus, all the loot belongs to me and solely to me bitch.” 

“…”

Chang Xiu was dumbfounded by Lee Tao’s words.

When has someone ever talked to her like that?

“B-But, we still deal damage to it, so it’s called an assist. We should still have some loot.” Chang Xiu said, hoping to reason with Lee Tao.

Lee Tao nodded his head.

“You’re right, Chang Xiu.” Lee Tao said calmly.

Suddenly, his eyes narrowed with a vicious glint as he retrieved his sword.

“Who’s there hiding at the back?” Lee Tao shouted angrily as he raised his sword.

His action caused Chang Xiu and the rest to turn around as they raised their guard up.

“What the-“

Chang Xiu raised an eyebrow. 

“There’s no one there…” Chang Xiu mumbled.

However, the next instant, she felt like she had been tricked. Turning around, Chang Xiu was in disbelief when Lee Tao was nowhere to be found.

“That scoundrel… he actually faked an act to escape?!” Chang Xiu gnashed her teeth and stomped the ground angrily.

As much as she wanted to chase after Lee Tao, there wasn’t a trace of his presence nor footstep around.

Thus, she couldn’t even track where Lee Tao had escaped to.

“What should we do now, Senior Apprentice-Sister Chang Xiu?” 

“If we just leave like this, the sect elder will definitely reprimand us for using these red flags.”

“Yeah, we won’t even be able to prove our innocence when that bastard stole our entire loot.” 

Chang Xiu clenched her fist as she knew what her fellow disciples meant.

To use their high-class formation technique, it would have required a lot of profound qi that was embedded in the red flags.

Normally, it wouldn’t be a problem because they can always bring the loot back to earn rewards.

However, they couldn’t even bring back any loot to justify their action of using it since Lee Tao had taken the entire stash for himself.

“I don’t know who he is… but I will definitely not let this pass easily without getting revenge.” Chang Xiu said in anger. 

“Just how can a person be this shameless and not even share the loot.” 

As they cursed at Lee Tao in their heart, Lee Tao had long been gone as he headed back to the illusion barrier.

“Haa what a lucky haul I received tonight…” Lee Tao said blissfully.

As he hopped from tree branches to tree branches, Xiao Chu suddenly appeared out of thin air as she revealed a holographic map and pointed at a particular area.

“According to Chang Xiu’s previous words, the Xinghui Sect is located approximately 150km away from this forest. And the Xinghui Sect can be considered a first-rate sect in terms of strength and resources here.” Xiao Chu said.

Lee Tao nodded his head.

“That Chang Xiu girl isn’t simple. When she introduced herself, she wanted to reveal her background to me and warn me to not act rashly.” Lee Tao said.

And he continued, “In addition to that, she also wanted to pry some of my information. But only an idiot will fall for that kind of trashy ploy. She is still way too young to deal with my shameless skills.”

“Indeed, faking a call out to distract them and use that chance to dip is really a shameless move.” 

“Gotta work smart and not work hard, Xiao Chu.”
