"An interspatial bag?"

"So this is an interspatial bag!"

"How could the Lu family gain an interspatial bag? We didn't hear about this…"

Surprised voices filled the air. Not only Teng Liangpeng's people were surprised, but the people behind Lu Zhenxie also whispered and coveted the interspatial bag.

It was an interspatial bag—an interspatial bag!

On the other hand, Ou Yangming and Big Yellow were disdainful.

They had plenty of such an item with them.

Nonetheless, after they entered the Spiritual Realm and got in touch with more people, they understood better the value of interspatial bags.

For normal cultivators, unless they came from influential sects, it would be extremely difficult for them to obtain interspatial bags. Without notable opportunities, they could probably forget about it.

Even for Xia Zizhen, who was a disciple from the Beast King Sect, he only possessed a ruined interspatial bag. As for Poisonous Saber Gentleman, who had the same cultivation base as him, it was even worse for him.

In Ou Yangming's opinion, the interspatial bag's value could not be mentioned on equal terms with the lizard insect's carcass at all. On the contrary, most people in the Spiritual Realm would find an interspatial bag 10 times more valuable than a Spiritualist's dead body.

Therefore, even Teng Liangpeng felt that it was not worth it when Lu Zhenxie retrieved the interspatial bag.

"Your Excellency, are you satisfied now?" Lu Zhenxie uttered word by word. He hated Ou Yangming and Big Yellow to their bones because they killed the lizard and forced him to present the interspatial bag. It would be tough for him to get rid of the hatred if he did not kill them.

Ou Yangming could not help but sneer when he sensed the vague killing intent released by Lu Zhenxie.

Lu Zhenxie was doing his best to hide the killing intent, such that even Teng Liangpeng and Big Yellow did not notice it, but he could not hide it from Ou Yangming's remarkable sensing ability.

'Since this person's trying so hard to court his death, I'll fulfill his wish.'

"Alright, I'll take this as your bet. How would you like to fight?" Ou Yangming asked.

Lu Zhenxie was secretly relieved because he was afraid that the young fellow would be indifferent toward the interspatial bag. If that was really the case, he would not know what to do.

He curbed his thought and responded, "Our towns are having Hunting Meets now. Since we're going to fight, let's compete with our hunting skills." He pointed at a tall mountain in the distance and suggested, "We'll hunt in that forest and return after 3 days. Whoever has more noteworthy quarries will win. What do you think?"

Teng Liangpeng and the others nodded slowly because it was a fair suggestion, and they had nothing to say about it.

Ou Yangming had a strange smile on his face. He looked at Lu Zhenxie without saying a word, but his eyes were incredibly bright as though he could see through one's heart.

Lu Zhenxie felt a chill in his heart, but he asked, "Why? Do you have a better suggestion, Your Excellency?"

The young fellow sighed. "No, it's all up to you but… I hope you won't regret this, Your Excellency."

The middle-aged man's face changed. "Hmph, why would I regret this!" He looked at Teng Liangpeng and said, "Brother Teng, I'll leave this carcass with you for now, and I'll come back for it after 3 days." Following that, he picked up the interspatial bag then waved his hand and left with his people.

Teng Liangpeng suddenly clapped his hands and noted, "Sh*t, we got tricked."

Everyone else turned to look as they were dumbfounded.

"We didn't limit the number of people, so Lu Zhenxie can easily get his whole village to hunt for him." Teng Liangpeng smiled bitterly. "As capable as Brother Ou is, he can't compare to them if they work together."

The people cursed after hearing what the elder said. They were not fools, so they knew Lu Zhenxie would surely do that.

After all, the bet would affect one's reputation, and it also involved an interspatial bag, which was a treasure. As long as there was a bit of hope, Lu Zhenxie and his people would not give up.

Even so, Ou Yangming still smiled as if he was neither bothered nor worried.

"Brother Ou, Big Yellow attacked because of our town, so we can't stand by idly," Teng Liangpeng expressed seriously, "I'll get the whole town to hunt on the mountain. Hmph, isn't this just a competition of numbers? We won't lose to them for sure!"

"Yes, we can't be ungrateful. No matter what, we must make that old fella suffer this time."

"Elder Teng, we're willing to go to the mountain."

One after another, men stood out with their chests out to express their strong desires to enter the mountain.

The people that were present were those with higher cultivation bases in the town. They were already displeased when Lu Zhenxie and his people came out of the blue and hurt cultivators from their town. Now that they had a chance to take revenge, they naturally fought to go first and did not want to be left behind.

Who knew, Ou Yangming waved his hand and stated, "Thanks for your good intentions but this is my bet, so I won't trouble you."

Teng Liangpeng's face changed. "How can we let this be? Brother Ou, you can't let us be ungrateful people."

Ou Yangming chuckled, then he assured the elder. "Elder Teng, don't worry, I'm confident about being victorious."

"What? Brother Ou, you mustn't underestimate that area!" Teng Liangpeng was taken aback. He paused for a while before he continued, "Several spirit beasts are keeping watch on that mountain. Even if our villages join hands, we can only manage to resist them!"

The young fellow looked around and asked, "How are those spirit beasts as compared to this fella?"

"Uhm… They're probably almost on par with each other," Teng Liangpeng answered carefully.

"That'll do. Elder Teng, I'll leave this lizard's carcass with you for now, and I'll come back for it after 3 days." Ou Yangming grinned, then he flashed and headed toward the ravine. Once he left, his voice was heard coming from the distance. "You mustn't enter the mountain, or I'll have an unfair advantage.

The other people looked at each other, then they turned to look at Teng Liangpeng.

Teng Liangpeng sighed after pondering for a long time. "Brother Ou should be a trial disciple from an influential sect, which is why he's so confident. Since he's unwilling, we can't force it."

"Yes." The rest dared not disobey him, but they looked rather disappointed.

The elder then ordered, "Handle this lizard's carcass well. Nothing must happen to it no matter what."

He turned to look with a grave expression in the direction where Ou Yangming left. 'Will this fight be as simple as it sounds?'

※※※※

Ou Yangming and Big Yellow flashed into the ravine at extraordinary speeds.

The big yellow dog stuck out its tongue and asked, "Why are we being so proactive? As many people as they have, they won't be able to defeat us."

"Why?" Ou Yangming laughed and asked in return.

"Because we're definitely going to kill spirit beasts," Big Yellow answered proudly, "Judging from their capabilities, they'll be courting death if they try to kill spirit beasts. As long as we kill 2 spirit beasts, our victory will be assured."

Ou Yangming laughed and commented, "That makes sense but if I were them, I wouldn't waste my time and effort in killing beasts."

Big Yellow was stunned, and it asked, "How is he going to win if he doesn't kill… Hey? Woof, is he going to scheme something against us?" It rolled its eyes and barked angrily.

"That's right. If we die in the forest, there'll only be a final winner." Ou Yangming nodded. He curled his lips and added, "But we don't know yet who will be the ones leaving the forest in the end."

"Hmph, that fella? If he's trying to scheme something against us, he'll be courting death." Big Yellow was scornful.

Ou Yangming stared at it snappily and asked, "Are you becoming arrogant again?"

Big Yellow shrunk its neck. "Am I wrong?"

The young fellow sighed. "Since they could find the first insect, they might be able to find the second, the third…"

When Ou Yangming recalled Lu Zhenxie's strong killing intent and confidence when he retrieved the interspatial bag, he knew the man had a greater trump card. If that was not the case, the man would not have betted with something as valuable as an interspatial big.

Big Yellow walked lightly and had a weird smile on its face. "Even if they have helpers, we won't be afraid. Hehe, as long as we summon that lazy turtle, we'll win for sure."

Unquestionably, the lazy turtle was also one of Ou Yangming's ultimate weapons. Nobody would have expected the young fellow to have such a massive piece of interspatial equipment, which contained an even more formidable combat power.

Once the lazy turtle made a surprise appearance, it could certainly teach the people with ulterior motives a painful lesson.

Ou Yangming suddenly slowed down and tilted his head a little as if he was listening to something.

He smirked after a brief moment and said, "Those fellas are really eager." He later turned his wrist to retrieve the poisonous pill, then he gently flicked it to one of the big trees.

Covered by the dense leaves, unless one spotted it in advance, one would not be able to notice it at all.

Furthermore, Ou Yangming tossed different round boards around him.

Those items were formation boards made by the young fellow, and they each contained 1 or 2 runes. The only thing was that they were much cruder as compared to real formation boards, hence he could only make up the quality with quantity.

Big Yellow looked at Ou Yangming in confusion as it could not understand the reason he paid so much importance to those people.

Judging from Lu Zhenxie's cultivation base, Ou Yangming was being overly careful.

That said, it suffered a huge loss earlier, thus it was too embarrassed to express its opinion.

15 minutes after Ou Yangming set up everything, a sneer was heard coming from afar. "Heh, you're in such a good mood to be stopping here, Your Excellency."
