I stayed that way, on the ground for another hour. The others were slowly getting up and recuperating from their injuries.
I also took in a few pills to heal myself, but I was not so open about it.
Cai Lien seemed fine as well. She was outside the blast radius, and the man next to her shielded her from the fierce fight.
And as for the bandits, all of them were in the same situation as we were. We were too drained to even resume the fight.
The bandits had long lost their fighting spirit when their leader was defeated in mere moments.
Now, this only made things worse for them. They lost their biggest pillar. That had to recoup their losses, and continuing a listing fight would be stupid.
The columns of the tower crumbled from the fight, and I could see the light shining from outside the tower.
These cube days, I lost all sense of time. This showed that the sun was still up.
But more importantly was what the other disciples saw through this hole that formed.
"Reinforcements! Reinforcements have arrived!" One of the disciples cried out.
"What do we even tell them? Was anyone able to see what happened? How did senior sister, the core disciple ranked tenth on the core list, die in this fight?" Another lamented.
The disciples got up slowly and continued to recover. At this time, I started walking towards the site of where the fight happened.
But no matter how much I looked, I could not see a single spatial ring. The blast was probably do strong that the rings were destroyed.
It pained me to see all that possible loot just disappear, but what could I do? I still had the ring of the black bandana bandits.
I started sifting through the spatial ring.
My eyes sparked as I went through every item.
It just struck my mind that the bandits struck the pill tower a lot.
That meant that he had a lot of wonderful spirit herbs that were worth a small fortune. But that was when he had them.
In my hands, these herbs were worth a king's ransom. They should make me stronger, that was for sure. They came at the right time.
And the other things in the spatial ring did not pale by comparison. In one corner, neatly piled, was a stack of atleast a thousand spirit stones. They were probably of the low grade, but it was still a huge upgrade from what I had before.
And right next to that, there was a small box. I could look into it, and could feel a huge qi signature within it.
"It could be a middle ranked spirit stone! This must cost a fortune to acquire. Something like this, it is best for a break through. If I get to the peak of the nascent soul realm, then I should be able to use this." I thought.
I looked to the side once more. There were weapons all over, but not a single defensive armour.
"If he had armor, then he was probably wearing it. Noone would buy a defensive artifact and not use it." I thought.
Then, there were the cards. Stacks of cards with probably millions of spirit coins within them.
At the last corner, were pills. Probably stolen from pill tower again.
This one spatial ring was worth more than a third rate family, and it could rival even a second rate one!
"Not a single person is allowed to live! Apprehend the bandits!" A loud, feminine voice shouted.
I heard foot steps storm the floor.
"This one is from the sky heavens sect!"
"Don't trust the sect robes. Check the identity tokens. Not a single bandit is allowed to escape!" The feminine voice demanded.
"Where is the branch leader? I recieved an urgent correspondence saying he and the core disciple were fighting the bandits." She said.
I turned around to look at who was incharge. The woman was stunning. But that was not all. She was strong. I could feel it.
"The-the branch leader? By that, do you mean You Feng?" One of the disciples weakly said.
"Yes, I mean You Feng. Show me your identity token, disciple, or I will be forced to think that you are an enemy trying to gain my trust." She said immediately.
"Wow she has some serious trust issues." I thought to myself as I readied my identity token to the checks that they were doing.
"They fought against each other. The branch leader fought with senior sister after the bandit revealed that You Feng was actually a bandit who betrayed his brothers." The disciple said.
"Thank God he said that right. Or else, it would have been us who would be implicated." I sighed with relief.
"And why are the disciples of the sky heavens sect on the twelfth floor, where only pill elders are allowed to reside?" She asked.
"Because your pill tower still owes us compensation for holding us hostage for five whole days. We came here to demand an apology, and the bandits arrived. You are lucky that we were here. The bandit leader self destructed to kill himself, the branch leader, and senior sister." The man standing behind Cai Lien stood up and said.
The woman raised her eyebrows.
"The pill tower was closed for five days because there was an enemy within. The sect will understand that." She said.
"What it won't understand, is how the pill tower knew who the attacker was, even though there was no way that he announced himself while coming in. Unless the pill tower has a special artifact to do that." He asked.
"That is... Confidential." She said after a huge pause.
"Bull sh**. You Feng knew that I was here because of the system. They are lying there way out now." I was angered by this.
