My Whole Class Isekai'd to a Xianxia? Good Thing I Can Do Mind-reading-Chapter 117: Stealing The Flower
"Miss Luo, can you tell me everything about our opponent? Let me come up with a plan, and I’ll share it with you. If you think it’s stupid and hopeless, we’ll stick with your original idea. What do you say?"
Luo Rong considered his words before nodding. "Alright. It’s a Bat King. It commands a colony of a few dozen bats. The Bat King is the only one at tier 4; the rest range from tier 1 to tier 3. For me, the lower-tier bats are no threat, but the tier 3 ones could easily kill you. Are you still confident about stealing the treasure?"
"Are you absolutely sure it’s just bats in there?" Feng Fan asked, his smile growing wider.
"Huh?" Luo Rong replied, confused. "Yes, I’ve checked it myself. Why do you ask?"
Feng Fan didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he activated his spiritual qi vision and scanned the surroundings until he located the spot where the bats and the spiritual treasure were hidden.
"Then I can only say this treasure will soon be ours!" Said Feng Fan confidently.
—
At the heart of the cave’s winding tunnels lay a large chamber, home to about a hundred bats. They hung silently from the ceiling, claws tightly gripping the rocky surface as they slept.
Below them, a flower with violet petals tinged in black grew, surrounded by patches of vibrant green moss, radiating an otherworldly energy.
The chamber was linked to four separate tunnels, each interconnecting in a web-like pattern. Feng Fan and Luo Rong spent nearly two hours navigating these tunnels, carefully ensuring they stayed out of the bats’ detection range.
"What exactly are you doing? We’ve been wandering around like fools long enough!" Luo Rong snapped, her patience wearing thin.
Feng Fan turned to her with an easy smile. "Why the rush, Miss Luo? The best plans require time to come together."
"Besides," Feng Fan said with a confident grin, "I’m done now. I think it’s time to start!"
Luo Rong gave a curt nod, her expression sharpening. "I’m ready."
"Remember, take out as many bats as possible before going after the Bat King. I’ll grab the flower, and then we’ll make our escape," Feng Fan instructed, his tone unusually stern.
"Got it," Luo Rong replied with a firm nod.
Feng Fan focused, and soon, the intricate arrays he had spent the last two hours setting up activated in unison. A piercing, high-frequency sound reverberated through the cave tunnels, bouncing off the walls and converging toward the chamber where the bats rested.
Two types of arrays had been meticulously placed: a sound generation array and a modified barrier array designed to reflect and concentrate sound waves.
The barrier array served a dual purpose—it prevented the sound from escaping the cave, thus avoiding detection by the Bloodsucker Demon Sect, and amplified the noise within the desired area.

Even though the high-frequency sound was beyond the range of normal human hearing, as cultivators, they could still sense it clearly.
Knowing that bats rely on echolocation, Feng Fan had cleverly matched the frequency of their sonar, disrupting their natural radar. His plan was simple but effective: disorient the bats and create chaos before the real battle began.
As the sound waves reached the bats, chaos erupted. The creatures woke in clusters, shrieking in pain.
The dense, concentrated sound waves not only disrupted their echolocation but also inflicted physical discomfort.
Luo Rong didn’t hesitate. With a swift motion, a sword appeared in her hand, and she dashed forward with the speed and precision of a cheetah.
Her blade gleamed as it sliced through the air, cutting down multiple bats with ruthless efficiency. She moved gracefully, each strike perfectly calculated to take down her targets.
Feng Fan followed closely behind, but his slower pace left him trailing by a few seconds. When he stepped into the chamber, the ground was littered with the lifeless bodies of bats.
Since sunlight didn’t reach this part of the tunnels, Feng Fan relied on his spiritual qi vision to navigate. It didn’t take him long to locate the flower, its aura radiating the strongest spiritual qi in the chamber.
’So much energy... No wonder this treasure attracted such powerful beasts. But how is Luo Rong managing to see in this pitch darkness?’ he wondered briefly before shaking the thought away.
Every second mattered.
He sprinted toward the flower and carefully unearthed it from its resting spot. Its petals seemed to pulse with life, glowing faintly in his spiritual vision.
"Luo Rong!" Feng Fan shouted, signaling her as he dashed back the way he had come.
The bats were still in chaos, their echolocation scrambled by the sound waves, but there were far too many of them. Even without pinpoint accuracy, they swarmed through the chamber, and several blocked his path.

Feng Fan opted for speed and agility over brute force, dodging whenever possible. But when there was no choice, he struck with force.
One bat swooped too close, and with a powerful punch, it burst into a spray of blood and flesh.
’No time to waste! I need to get out before they overwhelm me!’
Feng Fan darted out of the chamber, the flower clutched tightly in his left hand.
He didn’t dare store it in his space ring, worried that doing so might somehow alert the Bloodsucker Demon Sect disciples to Luo Rong’s location. Every step he took brought him closer to the exit, his senses on high alert.
Meanwhile, Luo Rong caught sight of Feng Fan escaping safely and let out a small breath of relief. Wasting no time, she focused her remaining spiritual qi on her sword, channeling it into one final, powerful strike.
She swung her sword in an arc, aiming directly at the Bat King.
The Bat King roared in response, unleashing a devastating sonic attack infused with its spiritual qi. The two attacks collided in midair, each neutralizing the other in a brilliant display of raw power.
But Luo Rong had no intention of continuing the fight. That brief moment of stalemate was all she needed.
She turned and bolted toward the exit, leaving the enraged Bat King behind. Its furious screeches echoed through the chamber as it thrashed about, unable to locate her.
