Since the people of this sect has little knowledge about herbs, he would likely want to 'borrow' anything that he had gained his acknowledgments, well, even those that would be of minimal benefit will be plucked!

His profession drastically downgrades from a medical saint's apprentice down to a lowly thief!

Still, Mo Xie didn't care, these herbs would be useless in the hands of these sc.u.ms without any great alchemists on their side.

Mo Xie strolled every part of the sect, then, as the midnight arrives, he had planned to go get out of the sect and move on to the next one, yet, at this moment, he saw a group of people, more than twenty experts with their faces hidden in veils.

"Those are..." Mo Xie couldn't help but wonder as he found the spiritual energy surrounding these people familiar.

Like some sort of instinct, Mo Xie followed them but maintained the distance of 50-meters away from the group.

A few minutes had arrived after the group had silently wondered there and about, Mo Xie was actually kind of astounded, all of the places that they went were the place which the herbs had been growing, well, was.

Every time they arrived at a location, one of them would even fume in anger, sadly, Mo Xie's hearing is not yet that adept hence couldn't hear what they were muttering to each other.

After taking their time around the sect, they had ultimately arrived at their location, the Mourning Sun Sect's grand hall.

Mo Xie's brows lift up and then frowns: "They must have ties with the sect..."

Mo Xie thought that these people are merchants that wish to buy the herbs that he had picked up today, hence, he couldn't help but chuckle as he sneakily entered the grand hall from the roof.

"Hong Lee, where are the herbs that were lingering in your sect a few weeks ago?" One of the veiled people spoke.

They didn't remove their hats, the veil is connected on it, hence, their faces couldn't be seen.

Mo Xie couldn't help but chuckle hearing their words, he then started to visualize their faces in his mind... 'A horse, a monkey, a pig, an ogre, an elegant elf that was sacrificed to an ogre and was brutalized a million times...'

He started to think of their faces and couldn't help but laugh.

Hong Lee frowns: "Hmmp, a band of thieves stole it! I was in turn, brutally beaten up, you can see my face now as a result!"

Mo Xie frowns; 'You calling me a thief? In 10 days, you will know what it means to call me such!'

One of the veiled people frowns and replied: "Oh, to think that thieves have such control that they only had beaten you up leaving behind everything intact, they even gently plucked the herbs around your sect nicely!"

Hong Lee's face flushed, the only visible damage that happened in the sect were the walls that he had been blown in to, all of the disciples and apprentices were either training or sleeping.

But then, Hong Lee realized something: "Wait, you guys knew that those gra.s.ses here in my sect were herbs? Were you all planning on s.n.a.t.c.hing it yourselves!?"

At Hong Lee's words, the veiled people slightly cough as they had been seen through, neither had they declined nor nods their heads, merely stayed silent.

One of them then changed the topic: "To think that one of your uses has vanished, well, if you are still part of the plan, you can just offer something valuable now."

'The plan?' Mo Xie frowns, yet, he thought that its merely some sort of little to nothing worth troubling himself with.

Hong Lee hearing his reply became troubled, he was planning to give up all of the herbs the sect had in these people to join this plan, but now, Mo Xie had taken everything, he has nothing other than golds to offer, still, the amount of gold within the sect's treasury wouldn't even exceed ten gold taels, it would be nothing of importance for these people, after all, they do not have any use for it.

He then remembered something as his heart beats extremely fast. his hands twitched slightly, remembering that he has something more precious than the herbs he had, and it will be bought by the 'thief' that had stolen all of his herbs.

"About the offer, how about a 3-star soul weapon that is the heirloom of our Sect for generations, I think, that will be the last thing that's most precious than the herbs." Hong Lee didn't even bat an eye as he took out the soul weapon and showed it to the veiled people.

"Sect Master!" The elders surrounding him exclaimed, this is the only thing they have of value, why would the scheming sect master of theirs offer something like this!

Seeing the elder's reaction, the veiled experts chuckles, one of them moved forward to store it inside their ring and handed a token: "This is a 3rd tier token, use it once the plan starts."

Hong Lee smiled as he nods his head: "Thank you, it will be my genuine pleasure to be by the side of the Dark Guild."

The veiled expert nods his head and made his way out, he then added: "Remember, the plan's phase had been adjusted, it will happen within this year."

Hong Lee stood up as he clasped his hands and bowed: "I will pay heed to it."

"Un." The veiled people nod their head before continuing to make their way out.

Mo Xie looked at the departing people and frowned; 'Dark Guild...'

Mo Xie immediately had hints of killing intent flashed from his eyes and intended to follow the veiled people but then Hong Lee spoke.

"At ease everyone." Hong Lee's tone was pretty calm.

The elders wanted to have some explanation, all of their herbs were taken, they only have low-quality pills and weapons, how will they even face their rival sects!

Hong Lee chuckles as he inserted his hand in his robe and slowly, carefully took out something.

"Ah!" All of the elders looked at the bark and couldn't help but smile: "Right, this... this is definitely something that will alleviate our crisis!"

"With this... no matter how many weapons, we will definitely get them!"

Hong Lee snorted, these elders were about to cry but now, they are actually extremely excited.

He then added: "In five days, we will make our way to the royal capital and change our fate!"

"Yes!" All of the elders replied pretty neatly as excitement couldn't help but surge in their heart.

Mo Xie saw this and couldn't help but sigh; 'I need to complete my preparation in four days time then.'

As Mo Xie thought of this, he made his way out and followed the Dark Guild members.
