"This..."
The power of the spiritual treasure was undeniable. Even a small sect like Ba Dao Sect couldn't afford to buy such treasures.
If Mike had been caught by the treasure and had his weapon sucked away, there would be no hope left for him.
"Fine, you can go."
After a moment's thought, the leader of Ba Dao Sect decided to let Mike go.
Mike sighed in relief.
"Hahaha, didn't expect the people of Ba Dao Sect to be not just a bunch of cowards, but also a bunch of brainless fools," a disdainful voice rang out.
"Who is it?!"
The Ba Dao Sect disciples turned around and saw a young man in white walking up with a folding fan in hand, looking like a scholar, followed by a few disciples.
"Zhao family," the leader of Ba Dao Sect obviously recognized the person and sneered, "Zhao Xian, are you looking for a fight?"
Zhao Xian shook his head, "I'm not interested in fighting you. I just can't stand your stupidity from the side."
With that, Zhao Xian pointed at Mike and said, "Look at him. A Taoist disciple, full of patches, down and out. How could such a poor guy afford to buy a Seven-Treasure Gourd?"
Everyone froze, thinking about it.
They, too, couldn't afford spiritual treasures like that.
"Also, the Seven-Treasure Gourd is supposed to emit red light. Have you ever seen one that emits green energy? This one's fake!" Zhao Xian couldn't help but say.
Everyone looked, and sure enough, the Seven-Treasure Gourd was emitting green light, turning Mike's face green with embarrassment.
"Damn it, almost let you fool us. Trying to trick us with a fake gourd? Let's see if I don't break your arm!" A Ba Dao Sect disciple moved forward angrily, ready to take action.
At this point, Mike was truly panicking.
After hearing Zhao Xian, Mike started to doubt that his Seven-Treasure Gourd might actually be fake.
The Seven-Treasure Gourd did glow red, but his was glowing green—could it really be fake?
"Master, what have you made for me?"
"Let's find out if it's real or not!" Mike gritted his teeth, pulled the Seven-Treasure Gourd from his waist, injected his true energy, and shouted, "Absorb!"
As soon as he spoke, the Seven-Treasure Gourd erupted with intense green light, casting a green glow on Mike's head.
In the moment that everyone was stunned, a powerful vortex of air erupted from the Seven-Treasure Gourd, pulling everything in its path.
"Shit, it's real!"
"Oh no, our weapons are being sucked in!"
The Ba Dao Sect and Zhao family disciples were panicked. They had just witnessed the gourd sucking in weapons, but they never expected a down-and-out Taoist disciple to actually possess such a treasure!
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
They couldn't hold their swords anymore, and they flew toward the gourd.
But at that moment, there was a ripping sound, and one of the Ba Dao Sect disciples' clothes instantly split apart, and in the next second, his entire outfit—underwear included—was torn off, sucked into the Seven-Treasure Gourd!
The disciple stood there, completely naked, dumbfounded.
"What the hell!"
The disciple's face turned pale with shock.
Mike was just as stunned. What on earth was happening?
The Seven-Treasure Gourd was known to absorb weapons, but it was never said to absorb clothes!
Before anyone could react, everyone's clothes around them tore apart, and the next moment, they were all sucked into the Seven-Treasure Gourd.
At that moment, the disciples from Ba Dao Sect and Zhao family were all left standing naked in the Wind Sand Valley, looking at each other in complete confusion.
"Aaaaah! Pervert!"
Nearby female disciples, upon seeing this scene, immediately dropped their swords and covered their eyes.
All the disciples in the Wind Sand Valley paused their battles, dumbfounded by the scene unfolding before them.
Was the fight this intense?
What kind of decorum was this?
Mike stared at his Seven-Treasure Gourd, swallowing.
