The Genius Mage

Chapter 368: Protecting the Herb King Valley

The Valley Master had just recovered from a serious illness and had yet to fully recover. Now that he had encountered such a situation, his expression turned exceptionally ugly.

When this group of people came to ask for the Sky Demon Herb, he had already said that it had been taken away. He had not expected that the other party would directly turn hostile and demand it. This was simply going too far.

“You’re all bandits!” The Valley Master angrily rebuked, his body trembling slightly from his anger.

Audrey and the others stood not far away and watched nervously.

“Aren’t they the group of people we saw outside the valley the last time? I didn’t expect them to come to the valley and force the Valley Master like this.” Klein quickly recognized the black-clothed man and said with an unhappy expression.

He could not bear to see people go too far.

“I don’t think they are good people,” Hobart echoed.

Audrey did not say a word as she listened to her teammate’s words. Her eyes were locked on a spot not far away. The people of the Carol Association had come for the Sky Demon Herb. Now that the Valley Master could not hand over the Sky Demon Herb, they were brazenly demanding it. It was truly an act of robbery.

However, all of this had its own reasons.

Therefore, Audrey could not just watch as the people of the Herb King Valley were implicated. Since the matter had arisen because of her, she had the responsibility to help the Herb King Valley deal with the people of the Carol Association.

“Cut the crap. Hand over the Sky Demon Herb and nothing will happen,” the black-clothed man said impatiently.

The Valley Master’s personality was also very resolute. In the face of the other party’s threat, he did not compromise in the slightest. He also did not reveal Audrey and the others. Instead, he said in a domineering manner, “If you don’t have the Sky Demon Herb, then so be it. You Don’t belong to the Herb King Valley. Leave this place immediately!”

“Since that’s the case, then don’t blame us for razing this place to the ground and searching for it personally!” The black-clothed man snorted coldly. A trace of sharpness flashed in his eyes under the mask. He extended his hand and shot out a beam of demonic Qi toward the house at the side.

The house instantly collapsed. The surrounding people were startled and fled in panic.

The Valley Master frowned tightly. He glared at the black-clothed man angrily and unwillingly. However, the Herb King Valley people only knew how to refine medicinal herbs to save people. In terms of martial arts, they were clearly weak.

“Flatten the Herb King Valley. You must find the Sky Demon Herb!” The black-clothed man in the lead spoke. His expression darkened as he prepared to attack the surrounding residents and houses.

Seeing this, Audrey quickly exchanged glances with her teammates. A few of them stepped forward one by one to protect one side.

“What big words! In someone else’s territory, the only ones who can be so shameless are probably you guys,” Audrey laughed mockingly as she spoke in a neutral tone.

Audrey’s sudden appearance startled the black-clothed man for a moment. Then, he sized her up.

“Where did this girl come from? How dare she speak like this?” The black-clothed man snorted in disdain as a demonic aura shot toward Audrey.

Audrey dodged in a flash and the demonic aura charged toward the house behind her. Fortunately, Klein was behind her. With a single strike of his battle spirit, he broke the black-clothed man’s demonic aura.

The black-clothed man clearly did not expect to meet such a powerful person in the Herb King Valley. His expression was stunned for a moment before it returned to its gloomy and cold state.

“I didn’t expect that you guys still have some ability. However, I advise you to mind your own business. What we want is the Herb King Valley to hand over the Sky Demon Herb.” The black-clothed man said this probably because he did not want to go to war with Audrey and the others.

“To be honest, the Sky Demon Herb just happens to be in my hands.” Audrey sneered and said with a casual manner.

Hearing this, the black-robed man was shocked for a moment. He narrowed his eyes and sized up Audrey. His tone was displeased. “The Sky Demon Herb is in your hands? Who are you?”

“I’m just an outsider. I obtained the Sky Demon Herb before you did. Everything is about first come, first served,” Audrey said indifferently.

The black-robed man clearly did not listen to Audrey’s other words. He was focused on obtaining the Sky Demon Herb.

“Hand over the Sky Demon Herb!”

This time, their mission was to obtain the Sky Demon Herb. If they returned empty-handed, it would definitely be painful torture. Therefore, they had to complete the mission no matter what.

“Alright, but you have to report your background first.” Audrey curled the corners of her lips and said in a frivolous tone.

The black-robed man was stunned. When they were outside, the most taboo thing the Carol Association would do was to expose himself.

“It doesn’t matter who we are. What’s important is that the Sky Demon Herb must be ours!” A cold glint flashed in the black-robed man’s eyes as he spoke coldly.

“Then don’t even think about it.” Audrey rejected decisively, as though she did not want to bother with them.

The black-robed man was truly anxious. The few of them exchanged glances before launching an attack on Audrey and the others.

“I’ll be in charge of protecting the villagers. I’ll leave the rest to you,” Adrian immediately said. The few of them had been together for a long time, so they knew what they should do without Audrey’s instructions.

The villagers here could be said to be powerless. If they were not protected, they would definitely be injured by accident.

“Storm!” Audrey’s eyes turned cold. The wind elements around her quickly gathered, forming a strong storm that charged straight at the man in black.

Even though the black-clothed man used demonic Qi to block it, he was still blown to the ground by the storm. He looked extremely pathetic.

Audrey’s lips curled into a slightly flamboyant smile. She stared at the black-clothed man with an overbearing aura. She pulled out her sword and charged forward. “Who are you?”

“We…” A hint of hesitation flashed across the black-clothed man’s eyes. Audrey frowned slightly and listened carefully. At this moment, the black-clothed man suddenly launched a sneak attack.

Fortunately, Audrey reacted quickly and dodged in panic.
