Very soon, Little Six bid farewell and left, while Mr. Gong stayed in place for a mont, not knowing what he was doing.
Why isn’t he leaving?
Ye Haochuan watched Mr. Gong remain where he was, becoming increasingly anxious. With this guy not leaving, how could he pursue Little Six and accomplish the grand plan?
A few minutes later, Mr. Gong finally led his team away, passing by Ye Haochuan’s hiding spot as he departed.
However, he did not notice Ye Haochuan hiding there at all.
Once Mr. Gong had gone far, Ye Haochuan then followed the traces to chase after Little Six.
This chase lasted for over half an hour.
When Ye Haochuan saw the group again, they had already arrived at a chapel on another hillside, waiting for the person in charge here to submit the herbs.
The situation here was not much different from before, and after patiently waiting for more than three hours, the person in charge finally turned in the ring.
Thus, Ye Haochuan followed the group over several hilltops before they finally returned to their temporary headquarters with the items.
"Damn, why did I rush here..."
Upon arriving at the temporary headquarters, Ye Haochuan desperately wanted to slap himself for running so fast initially.
It turned out that the Evil Sect’s temporary headquarters was in Holy City, and the place where they collected resources was just a few hundred ters from Ye Haochuan’s previous hiding place. He had circled around only to end up back where he started.
"Which squad are you from?"
Just as Ye Haochuan was secretly regretting, a guard ca up to Little Six and began questioning the group.
"Brother, we just returned from outside and are preparing to submit supplies."
Little Six quickly responded, handing over his task certificate to prove his identity.
"You go through here, continue straight, and then turn left. There’s a large chapel there, the resource submission point and reward distribution area are nearby. You’ll know when you get there."
After the examination, the guard pointed out the way for them.
After thanking him, Little Six and his group headed in that direction.
Ye Haochuan intended to follow, but after assessing the density of guards, he couldn’t help but feel worried.
There are so many people, all in uniform. Even with the ability to conceal his presence, the chances of getting discovered are high.
Wait, uniforms?
Suddenly an idea struck Ye Haochuan, bringing a gleam to his eyes.
He quietly retreated and arrived at a nearby secluded alley, calmly waiting.
"Bang!"
As a guard patrolled, he suddenly heard a strange noise coming from an alley.
"Hmm? Is there soone here?"
The guard looked curiously at the alley, which contained only a pile of garbage and several large boxes.
"Ah!"
While the guard was puzzled, a startled cry echoed from the alley.
"Who’s there? Co out."
The guard called out a few tis, but the alley had fallen silent again. He instantly beca alert and, out of duty, gripped his large shield, cautiously walking in, ready to investigate.
Bang~
As he passed by a large box, a massive force suddenly struck him. Fortunately, at the critical mont, he angled his shield to block most of the impact.
Crack~
In an instant, his shield shattered.
An enemy!
Imdiately realizing the situation, he rolled backward, dodging the attack, retreating to the corner, and pulled out a whistle from his pocket, ready to blow it.
The whistle was almost in his mouth, about to sound the alarm, which ant Ye Haochuan would have no escape.
"Great Yan Step!"
Ye Haochuan shouted softly, and within that short span, he swiftly charged forward with the Divine Concealnt Sword.
Swish~
With a soft sound, the guard was decapitated, rendering him unable to blow the whistle and alert the others.
That was close!
Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Ye Haochuan glanced at the entrance of the alley, dragging the guard’s corpse behind the big box.
Ten minutes later, a person dressed in guard attire kicked a heap of ashes, adjusted his outfit, and walked out of the alley.
Wearing the guard’s attire, Ye Haochuan proceeded smoothly without any obstructions, soon locating the large chapel and observing its surrounding layout.
The left side was the resource submission point, while the right side was the reward distribution area.
Where did these guys put the items?
Ye Haochuan was uncertain. He didn’t know which side stored the supplies and wandering around increased the risk of being caught.
As he was hesitating, the Little Six he had tracked earlier erged from the reward distribution area with a grin, holding a small token in his hand.
He strolled along, stroking the little token, eyes gleaming as he muttered to himself, "Haha, Mr. Gong didn’t lie to . Arriving early indeed gets extra rewards."
Hmm? Could this little token be a treasure?
Seeing Little Six treat the token so preciously, Ye Haochuan wondered secretly.
"Ah! Hello, Guard Brother! I’d like to ask how to get to the warehouse?"
Little Six didn’t know what Ye Haochuan was thinking. Upon seeing him appear, he hurriedly ran over to inquire.
Warehouse? Damn, why didn’t I think of this!?
Ye Haochuan was instantly overjoyed. Of course, the collected items would be stored in the warehouse. What was he doing loitering around?
Luckily, Ye Haochuan had been here before and had a general understanding of Holy City’s layout. He pointed Little Six on a long detour and left amidst Little Six’s gratitude.
Gotta be quick; otherwise, my treasure might be taken by that guy.
Ye Haochuan hurried along the shortest path and, without drawing attention, arrived swiftly at the warehouse location.
Here, multiple warehouses stood together, from left to right they were: herb warehouse, magical treasure warehouse, technique treasury...
"Wow, so many good things!"
Standing in the herb warehouse, Ye Haochuan marveled endlessly; the warehouse was piled high with herbs, with many not even handled—just carelessly stacked together.
"Purple Rhy Dragon Emperor Ginseng, Polar Hand, Night’s Dew, Purple Ginseng, Hundred-Herb Dew, Heavenly Immortal Pearl, Fragrant Qiluo Immortal Fabric, Thousand-Year Snow Silkworm, Flying Flowers, Star Spirit Grass, Poison Demon Vine, Fierce Fire Apricot, Eight-Cornered Mysterious Ice Grass..."
Ye Haochuan collected as he walked. His handso face almost broke into laughter.
The good things here were so nurous they were beyond counting. After all, this seed to comprise most of the White Court Origin Realm’s herbs.
Heh, I won’t be lacking herbs for alchemy in the future.
Soon, Ye Haochuan cleared out the herb warehouse completely and moved onto the next warehouse.
