Chapter 185: The True and False Peach Banquet
Recently, a new thing has become popular in the fairy world →_→Spiritual Jade Slips.
With just a hint of spiritual thought, you can share updates in real time, with pictures and text, and even interactive comments, which is very lively.
The Qingling Sect has mastered the use of this thing.
The massive project of repairing the sacred pillar, the heroic performance of the new disciples, and even the fight between the spirit beasts in the back mountain were all made into a "serial" and released.
For a time, the "Qingling Sect Channel" became a new internet celebrity check-in spot in the fairy world.
Many old allies from the lower world, or fellow disciples who had just ascended and were confused, found the organization through this jade slip.
Xiaobai was not idle either. He waved his hand and asked Fan Wuzhi to send people to the first heaven to bring these "lost people" back to the sect and properly resettle them.
The power of the Qingling Sect is growing like a snowball.
When you are famous, you are prone to gossip. When a sect becomes powerful, social engagements are inevitable.
Look, the Shangguan family, an old family in the fairy world, has sent out invitations to all parties to attend the banquet.
The Shangguan family’s mansion was magnificent, with fairy music playing in the background, creating an atmosphere of luxury.
When the banquet was in full swing, the maids brought out plates of tempting fairy peaches, which were said to be peaches that ripen once every ten thousand years.
The refreshing fruity aroma filled the entire banquet hall.
Xiaobai picked up one and put it to his nose and sniffed it.
The next moment, her fair little face suddenly froze.
This taste is not right, no no!
This is not the peaches.
It’s the Soul-Captivating Fruit, yes, although its aura and appearance have been disguised using secret methods.
But deep in Xiaobai's sea of consciousness, something seemed to shatter with a "crack".
Dust-covered fragments of memory came flooding back: the shocking changes in Yao Chi in the previous life, it was also at such a feast, and it was also in this disguised fruity fragrance that murderous intent suddenly appeared.
A chill ran down her spine and up to the back of her head.
“Buzz…”
The folding fan at the fingertips of the third senior brother Nangong Wentian suddenly stopped turning, and a hidden wave of spiritual consciousness quietly connected several people from the Qingling Sect.
[Qingling Sect internal channel] has been established.
Nangong Wentian: [Picture: a panda head covering its face emoji.jpg]
Nangong Wentian: [Family members, who understands? This peach flavor is too strong. I just wanted to compose a poem but now I am in no mood.] Please respect my profession of Dan Xiu, okay? You poisoned me so blatantly. Did I fake my ascension?
Xiaobai immediately responded: [It's the Soul-Catching Fruit in disguise, everyone be careful. ]
Almost at the same time, Junior Brother Yan Jinjin's urgent voice sounded: [Junior Sister, look at the jade slip, the Shangguan family is bringing goods on site.]
Xiaobai separated a wisp of his spiritual consciousness and probed into the jade slip he carried with him.
The light curtain lit up, and it was the real-time live broadcast of the banquet.
The third elder of the Shangguan family was holding up a "Peach" with a rosy face, and introducing its effects with saliva flying.
[Bullet screen 1: Wow! The Shangguan family’s exclusive peaches look delicious. ]
【Bullet screen 2: Order has been placed, carefully selected from the three realms, produced by Shangguan family, must be high-quality. 】
【Bullet screen 3: Wait for me upstairs, I'll buy some for my ancestors too. 】
Xiaobai had sharp eyes and accurately caught the fleeting and extremely obscure purple star mark on the collar behind the third elder's neck.
It's the breath of the demon. It's strange why this demon doesn't look like an ordinary demon but rather looks like a chess piece?
I'm afraid that the person behind the scenes has either entered the devil's way or deliberately framed the demon clan. Now, except for the rare demon clan members who have ascended like the third senior brother, the rest are extraterritorial demons. According to what the second senior brother said, the extraterritorial demons are in control, and the formation of my previous life was also modified by Chen Yuyan, Qingluan and others, plus I also modified it a little, so it is impossible to be an extraterritorial demon.
At this moment, a strong aroma of hot pot wafted over quietly and at an extremely inopportune time.
I saw Fourth Senior Sister Bai Yanyan fluttering her wide sleeves. Under the table, a miniature Qiankun Replacement Formation was emitting a faint halo.
The few "Peaches" on the table in front of her had been replaced with real peaches covered in chili oil and mashed garlic, which had just been fished out of a nine-grid hot pot bubbling with red oil at the other end of the formation.
A line of small words appeared in the light of the formation:
[Hint: Successfully exchanged 'Fake Soul-stealing Fruit' x10, and obtained 'Real Spicy Hot Peaches' x10. ]
Bai Yanyan sent a telepathic message with a hint of excitement: [Done, let’s eat!]
Second Senior Brother Li Xiaoran smiled evilly and issued a command in the channel: [Are you all ready? It's time to act. ]
Li Xiaoran: [Three,]
Li Xiaoran: [II.]
Li Xiaoran: [1]
Li Xiaoran: [Down.]
The moment the order was issued, Fifth Brother Lin Jingxuan suddenly covered his heart, his handsome face instantly lost all color, and his eyes were filled with "fear" and "disbelief".
"Uh... this peach..."
His voice trembled, as if he had used up all his strength.
"It's...very poisonous."
Before he finished speaking, his entire body seemed to have no bones pulled out, and he slowly fell backwards in an extremely exaggerated and artistic slow-motion posture.
The jade hairpin in her hair drew a graceful parabola in the air and fell to the ground with a clang.
"Bang."
Lin Jingxuan fell heavily to the ground and twitched twice. If he hadn't fallen down while holding the shrunken Shennong hoe, everything would have been perfect.
This kind of acting skill, in the lower world, would have earned him an Oscar. Xiao Bai didn't know why there were many more words in his mind that he couldn't understand recently.
Almost at the same time, sounds of "plop", "ouch", and "Oh my God" were heard one after another.
At the seats around, many of the invited guests either really fell into the trap or, like Qing Lingzong, came prepared and started to act out, covering their chests, rolling their eyes, and falling to the ground one after another.
The scene suddenly became chaotic.
There were screams, exclamations, and the sound of tables and chairs falling to the ground.
The people of the Shangguan family obviously did not expect this sudden situation and were a little panicked for a moment.
In this chaos, Xiaobai bit the tip of his tongue fiercely, forcing out a little blood foam, which stained his lips, adding a bit of sadness.
Her small body trembled slightly, her big watery eyes filled with tears, and she spoke tremblingly in a crying tone, using the standard "Green Tea" accent that she had learned from listening to books in a teahouse on earth:
"Uncles from the Shangguan family..."
"Why...why did you poison the peaches?"
"Wuwuwu... Senior Brother Jingxuan... Will he... Will he die?"
The sound was not loud, but because the timing was so precise, it was unusually clear in the chaos.
All eyes instantly focused on the head of the Shangguan family, whose face was ashen.
The air seemed to freeze.
