"The situation is turning grim," one said.
"Hasn't it always been like this?" came the reply.
...
Eagles soar through the sky, fish dart in the shallow waters,...
When they left home in the morning, they thought that the three of them might be targeted by Foundation Establishment cultivators, and they didn't expect that their suspicions would come true when they returned home in the evening.
The three of them quickly cast golden light talismans on themselves.
Their figures are outlined in gold lines.
Those who were surrounding the area all showed unusual expressions.
The three golden talismans, worth at least 300 spirit stones, were used without hesitation by the three people in front of them, without the slightest heartache.
Immediately afterwards, the three of them each made a talisman.
Shenxian'er Fire Spirit Talisman, Jiang Xiaoyue Thunderbolt Talisman, Xu Ni Thunder Sound Talisman.
The first-tier high-grade talisman of Qingshui, the Fire Spirit Talisman, is known as the most powerful attack in the Qi Refining stage. If there are no Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, a few dozen Qi Refining cultivators would really be no match for the three of them!
Even the Foundation Establishment female cultivator standing in mid-air couldn't help but squint.
She possessed exceptional talent. After achieving Foundation Establishment, she did not establish a family but instead gathered a group of people to stir up trouble at Wangyue Lake, collect resources, and attempt to pursue the Golden Core Dao within two hundred years.
Having survived countless tribulations, this was the first time I had ever seen such a wealthy Qi Refining stage cultivator.
"Gentlemen, please calm down," she said. "I only want money. Hand over the storage bag and the secret of the scaled crucian carp, and I will let you go."
The three stood back to back on a solitary water lily.
"What should we do?" Xu Ni whispered.
She wasn't asking 'Should we surrender?' but rather—'Should we use the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators in front of us to establish our authority?'
"Xian'er?" Faced with a Foundation Establishment cultivator, Jiang Xiaoyue was at a loss.
Shen Xian'er held the fire talisman between her fair and slender right index and middle fingers, while her left hand gripped the tree branch at her waist, her whole body tense.
A gentle breeze was blowing.
"Clear Breeze and Water" allowed her to clearly feel the powerful and abundant spiritual energy of the Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, which almost materialized and pressed down on her.
The other person did nothing, but their gaze was fixed on her, and she felt as if she were trapped under an unbreakable bell.
Every time the Foundation Establishment female cultivator blinked, it was like striking a bell, and the sound inside the bell made her feel like she was dying.
"Xian'er!" Jiang Xiaoyue called out in a low voice, holding a thunderbolt talisman in one hand and a carrying pole in the other.
The fairy suddenly awoke, quickly calmed herself, and withdrew the "Clear Breeze and Water Mirror" spell.
Looking at it this way, the Foundation Establishment stage seems to have nothing remarkable about it other than being able to fly, but she already knew the difference between the two.
The Foundation Establishment female cultivator kept staring at Shen Xian'er.
Under the divine sense of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, the magical power within Shen Xian'er's body, far exceeding that of ordinary cultivators, and the spiritual energy fluctuations of "Clear Breeze and Water Mirror," were nowhere to be hidden.
She suddenly smiled and said:
"How about joining me? I won't take your storage bags, you can still sell the scaled crucian carp, you'll take half the profit, and I'll guarantee your safety."
Shenxian'er took a deep breath: "As long as you don't hurt us, I'll take you to the fishing grounds!"
The other two did not object.
They had already discussed it and there were two ways to deal with a Foundation Establishment cultivator: one was to rely on a divine senior, and the other was to bring the person back and have Shui Zhongyue take action.
A late-stage Qi Refining cultivator on the crest of the wave sneered, "Senior Xu, be careful, it might be a trap."
"There might be a powerful formation in the fishing grounds," another Qi Refining cultivator said.
Another Qi Refining cultivator said, "It's also possible that it's a Foundation Establishment stage water demon."
So, the Foundation Establishment female cultivator smiled and said, "Look, everyone is worried. Why don't you lead the way for me? The two of us will go, and the other two will stay here—they have Thunder Talismans and Thunder Sound Talismans, so my people can't hurt them."
There's nothing we can do.
The fairy gripped the branch tightly.
"My Lord!" Grip the branch tightly; you can communicate simply by thinking of exchanging ideas.
Have you made a decision?
'right! '
I can't directly intervene, so I'll use your spiritual power instead.
'Use my spiritual power?'
"How could we possibly win?" Before she could finish those six words, she saw herself put down the fire talisman and flick her finger.
Bang!
The female cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage had her head explode.
The heads of dozens of late-stage Qi Refining cultivators exploded.
A mist of blood swirled around the headless corpse, which was still posed as if it were a demon with a head made of blood mist.
"Boom!"
Huge, wall-like waves crashed onto the lake's surface, and the corpses drifted with the waves.
The "plop" of the Foundation Establishment female cultivator's corpse falling into Wangyue Lake was barely audible compared to the sound of the former.
[I originally intended to leave the Qi Refining stage to you, but now the atmosphere is tense and everyone is on edge. If I let even one person escape, my rival will send someone to investigate.]
The three of them were still stunned.
Shenxian'er examined her fingers, noting that she had used up about half of her spiritual energy.
What kind of magic is this?!
It can unleash such powerful force at the mid-stage of Qi Refining!
"Quick! Pick up the storage bag!" Xu Ni was quick-witted and was the first to react.
Shen Xian'er also came to her senses, feeling very flustered. Instinctively, she wanted to escape the scene. She quickly packed up her storage bag with Jiang Xiaoyue and Xu Ni and fled back to the Three Sisters Market.
Only after entering the array's light barrier and seeing the clear light flowing through the Water Moon Cave, as well as the stone tablet at the deepest part of the cave, did the three of them relax.
Xu Ni threw the storage bag in her hand onto the ground.
“One, two, three, four, five, six,” she snatched the storage bags from the other two and continued counting, “seven, eight… thirteen.”
Jiang Xiaoyue repeated: "Thirteen."
Shenxian swallowed.
"Hahahaha!" Xu Ni suddenly burst into laughter.
Shen Xian'er and Jiang Xiaoyue were also very excited.
There were many cultivators involved in the robbery, but not everyone had a storage bag. They didn't dare to linger for long and touch each corpse, so they only picked up the storage bags.
"There's also a murder and treasure-hunting mission, two points, we're rich!" Xu Ni hugged the two of them, jumping and skipping.
The fairy danced along for a while before exclaiming, "Huh?"
