A genius girl with her own space

Chapter 168 Reclaiming the Spirit Stone

"Don't ask who we are. Search us quickly." A man wearing the sect leader's clothes shouted.

A man with an instrument entered the back of the imperial study and found over thirty spirit stones on the bookshelf. He then returned to the small couch with the instrument, and the instrument showed something again. He had the couch dismantled, and over fifty spirit stones fell out.

Qiqi was reluctant to put away so many spirit stones, thinking that if there were too few, they would become suspicious, so she made up her mind to put in eighty spirit stones.

These people were very happy that their pursuit here was not in vain.

"Master, we have found spirit stones." They handed eighty spirit stones to the master.

The clan leader also became happy. He grabbed the old emperor's clothes. "Tell me quickly, where did these spirit stones come from?"

"What spirit stones? I don't know what you are talking about. Come and catch them quickly." said the old emperor.

"Hahaha, you caught us. Who gave you the courage to catch our sect leader? Tell us where the spirit stones came from, and we will spare your life. Otherwise, we will destroy your entire palace." A sect disciple said arrogantly.

The leader threw the old emperor to the ground. "Search the palace for me. See if there's anything else."

The Sect Master's eyes seemed to be looking towards the place where Qiqi and the others were hiding. Qiqi also looked at him, "Master, his eyes seem to be looking at us. Could it be that he has discovered us?"

"Qiqi, he may have felt our gaze and doesn't know we are here." Yun Jizi said.

I wonder what great being gifted Qiqi with this space? It's not something that small sect masters like us can discover, Yun Jizi thought.

The Sect Master quickly shifted his gaze, even wondering why he felt like someone was watching him, but he couldn't see who it was. Could it be the palace's guardian, or perhaps some other exceptional individual? Since we've found so many spirit stones, our trip wasn't in vain. Let's retreat to avoid further trouble.

"Everyone stop searching, let's go." said the sect leader.

Their men hurriedly retreated from the palace. Qiqi and the others were also puzzled, wondering what was going on, why they retreated without fighting.

"Master, let's chase them and see what's going on. They just retreated like that." Qiqi said.

"Qiqi, he may think we are powerful and dare not act rashly in the palace. He wants to retreat." Yun Jizi analyzed.

"Master, if I knew it was so simple, I would have pretended to be a powerful person in the Great Zhou and would not have had to travel so far and lose so many spirit stones." Qiqi said.

"Qiqi, let's chase them and pretend to be powerful and take it away. You guys wait for me in the space, I'll go and try." Zhou Jingze said.

"Okay, let's go together and take the spirit stone back." After Qiqi said that, without waiting for her master's opinion, she pulled Zhou Jingze out of the dressing room.

They changed into fancy clothes, put on beards, and wore gorgeous cloaks, looking like masters.

"Qiqi, you must be careful and don't let these people get involved." Yun Jizi warned.

"Jingze, protect Qiqi well. If she has any problems, she will ask you." Master's wife also said.

"Okay, Master's wife. I will protect Qiqi."

They left the space and instantly spotted the group that had snatched the Spirit Stone. They were flying ahead on flying swords. Qiqi and Zhou Jingze teleported in front of them and stopped them.

"You took the spirit stones from our palace and just want to leave? Have you asked us?" Zhou Jingze deliberately made his voice rougher.

"Who are you? Why are you blocking our sect leader's way? Are you looking for death?" said a member of the sect.

"We are the guardians of the dynasty. You come to the imperial city to steal things. You are seeking death." Zhou Jingze flicked his sleeves, and a stream of spiritual energy rushed towards the speaker. With a bang, he was knocked back more than ten meters and fell to the ground instantly.

The sect master and the other disciples were stunned for a moment. The person who had spoken was a very capable person, a leader among the disciples, yet he was gone just like that.

"If you put down the spirit stone, I will spare your lives. If you don't, this will be your fate." Zhou Jingze said.

The Sect Master stepped forward and asked, "Did you take the Spirit Stone back from the Imperial City of the Great Zhou? We've been searching there for nearly a month, but you got there first. Have you asked us martial artists? The Spirit Stone is in our hands now, so it belongs to us. Please get out of the way and let us go. If you kill one of our disciples, I won't bother with you."

"You're so generous! You stole our spirit stones, and we should be grateful to you." Zhou Jingze said as he instantly grabbed their leader and pressed his acupoints before retreating back to Qiqi's side.

This happened in an instant. Zhou Jingze did not sense any spiritual energy from him. At this time, he saw a person dressed in ordinary clothes walking out.

The people in the sect were also stunned. How could there be two sect leaders? Qiqi sensed spiritual energy from him.

"Brother Jingze, this person should be a substitute, protecting the sect leader from disaster. That person is the real sect leader." Qiqi said.

"Let him go, and I'll give you the spirit stone. We'll retreat."

"Brother, don't worry about me, just go away, they are very powerful."

"You two are brothers, and you have a really good relationship. One pretends to be the sect leader, and the other hides behind." Zhou Jingze said sarcastically.

In order to save his brother, the sect leader drew his sword and stabbed Zhou Jingze.

"Qiqi, be careful," Zhou Jingze drew his sword and started fighting with the sect leader. The disciples behind him also attacked Qiqi to rescue the sect leader's brother.

Qiqi took out the small tower, and it emitted a colorful light, which made it difficult for everyone to see clearly. Qiqi took a few steps back, and the small tower sucked the clan leader's brother into the tower. It grew larger and hit everyone, and they all retreated far away.

Zhou Jingze felt relieved when he saw the small tower protecting its master.

When the sect leader saw his brother disappear, he became anxious and stabbed Zhou Jingze in the chest with a sword. Zhou Jingze knocked his sword away and stabbed him in the arm with the sword, but did not kill him.

When his disciples saw their leader was defeated, they all attacked desperately. Zhou Jingze flew up and threw a handful of hidden weapons, hitting their acupuncture points.

The Sect Master took out the Spirit Stone and said, "Don't harm our sect's disciples. It's our fault. I shouldn't have allowed my brother to come here and snatch the Spirit Stone. If you let my brother go, I will give you the Spirit Stone and we will retreat. We will never oppose you again."

The sect leader said while shaking the spirit stone.

"Then throw it to me. I'll trust you this time." Zhou Jingze said

The sect leader tossed the spirit stones to Zhou Jingze. He sensed it and saw it was eighty spirit stones. He handed it to Qiqi. Qiqi also looked at it. There was a positioning device on the spirit stone, which she had not yet removed.

Back at the Shunqing Kingdom's palace, they were clearing things up. Let them misunderstand. Qiqi knew the Sect Master wouldn't just give it back to them. Their last resort was the Spirit Stone.
