Chapter 947:
Shisu clenched her teeth and said, Theres no way Im giving it to you. Id rather die than hand over this stone. Its a priceless treasure that my Qiantang Sect has been longing for. I wont give it to anyone. Whoever wants this stone will have to take it from my lifeless body. As long as I still breathe, I will never
Before she could finish her sentence, she saw Robbs body sway, and somehow he was already behind her, taking off the cloth bundle from her back and holding it in his hand. Then, with another quick movement, he was far away.
Shisu:
Robb smiled and said, Dont panic, Im not stealing your stuff. Ill give it back to you.
With that, he swayed again and hung the cloth bundle back on Shisus body.
Shisu:
Robb said, I have the ability to take this stone from you while youre still alive, but I wont do that. If I start robbing others belongings just because Im stronger, my soul will decay. No matter how many treasures I have, I wont be able to save my corrupted soul. Thats not the person I want to become.
Shisu bit her lip and said, I know that the stone in my hand was taken by my master and mistress through force, and its origins are not legitimate. If you have the ability to take it away, I wont say a word
Robb smiled and said, Just because something was stolen, does that make it right for me to steal it? No, thats a fallacy. I cant stoop to the level of becoming a thief just because someone else is. I havent reached the point where I blindly follow others and willingly embrace moral decay. While the origin of this stone may not be legitimate, how I obtain it must be.
As they were talking, Shisu had already slowed down her pace. The pursuers behind her had much deeper cultivation and were faster than her to begin with. Her slowed pace only allowed them to catch up even faster. In less than two minutes, Shisu felt a figure flash before her, and an elegant old man stood in her path.
Then, figures appeared on her left and right as wella graceful scholar, a dignified martial artist with a prominent temple, and the three of them encircled Shisu and Robb. As for the henchmen in martial attire, they were still far away, desperately running towards this direction.

The elegant old man coldly snorted and said, You, young lady, are quite clever. You actually noticed us. Id like to ask, even though we were clearly following you from a distance of two miles, how did you manage to detect us?
Shisu bit her lip and replied, I didnt detect you; it was the foreigner next to me who noticed you.
As she said this, the elegant old man, the scholarly man, and the martial artist with the prominent forehead all turned their gaze towards Robb, wearing expressions of disbelief.
Golden-haired foreigner?
Rabbit People?
With a single phrase, Rabbit People, Robb had instantly angered everyone in the vicinity. However, they assumed that Robb didnt understand the cultural nuances of the Big Tang and had misspoken, so they decided not to make a fuss about it. Moreover, their primary concern was now obtaining the Xuanyuan Black Iron from Shisus possession, and they had no intention of getting entangled with a foreigner.
The group completely ignored Robb and turned their attention to Shisu.
The elderly man with an air of refinement asked, You are Shisu, Sword of Waves, arent you?
Shisu clenched her teeth and replied, Thats correct!
The elderly man, maintaining an air of superiority, said, As clever as you are, Im sure youve figured out who we are by now.
Shisu bit her lip and said, Youre the ones who destroyed my Qiantang Sect, arent you? She glared fiercely at the constable who had just arrived, saying, Shameless scoundrel, youre also a government lapdog.
The constable shrugged and said, Government lapdog? Im just undercover in the government; its convenient for various reasons. What does a little girl like you understand?
Before he could finish his sentence, Shisu suddenly floated over in a flash, her sword aimed at his throat.
This strike had been prepared for a long time and came incredibly fast. Shisu had analyzed the group surrounding her and deemed the constable the easiest target due to his weaker abilities. So, she began her assault by targeting the weakest link, hoping to eliminate at least one opponent. If she succeeded in replacing one with a draw and another with a win, she would come out ahead.
However, the constable, though startled, managed to avoid her strike. In the midst, he drew an iron ruler from his waist, which, with a resounding clang, blocked Shisus sword. He then counterattacked swiftly, forcing Shisu to evade backward.
In just one exchange, it was clear that Shisu was not his match, and among the four formidable enemies, the constable was the weakest.
The constable sneered, Overestimating yourself, arent you? Your master, mistress, and fellow disciples were all killed by us. With your feeble skills, what good are you? I advise you to take your sword and slit your own throat. Otherwise, after we capture you alive, youll learn what its like to live in agony Hmmm the fragrance of East Hangzhous Number 1 beauty. I wouldnt mind having a taste.
Shisu seethed with anger!
Uh, excuse me! Robb suddenly raised his hand to speak. May I ask, what exactly makes her beautiful? Forgive my untrained eyes, but no matter how I look, I cant discern any difference between one rabbit head and another.
Both the constable and Shisu shot Robb a glance and then jointly quipped, You Westerners all look the same; we cant tell the difference either.
Robb:
Could we please focus on the main point? The elderly man with an air of refinement scowled. Ignore the golden-haired foreigner for now. Lets secure the Xuanyuan Black Iron first.
Oh, right, the Xuanyuan Black Iron, the constable said, refocusing his attention on Shisu.
Robb spoke up again, Hold on, how can you all just ignore me? Shisu and I havent finished our business yet. He turned to Shisu and said with great emphasis, You see, youre in grave danger right now, and you could be killed at any moment. In this situation, wont you consider making a deal with me? If you give me the Xuanyuan Black Iron, I promise your safety. Its quite a lucrative offer.
Shisu was furious, I can die, but I cant give the Xuanyuan Black Iron to anyone. This deal is not up for discussion.
Robb wondered, Wow, why so stubborn?
The elderly man with an air of refinement suddenly sneered, Using the same words as your damned master. I offered him a chance to spare his life if he revealed the location of the Xuanyuan Black Iron, but he would rather die than hand it over. Your Qiantang Sect sure has some backbone.
I do know why they are so adamant, the refined scholar chimed in with a smile. I heard that eight years ago, when the Black Dragon attacked Leifeng Pagoda, the former head of the Qiantang Sect happened to be inside the pagoda. As you all know, when the Black Dragon attacked, Leifeng Pagoda was toppled, and Master Fahai, who was guarding the pagoda, died in battle. The former head of the Qiantang Sect died there under mysterious circumstances. Ive heard that ever since that incident, the Qiantang Sect has been seeking a way to avenge their former head by killing the Black Dragon. It is said that the Xuanyuan Black Iron can be used to forge the Xuanyuan Sword, which, according to legend, can slay all manner of demons and monsters. Who knows, maybe it can even slay the Black Dragon?
