Chapter 31: The Beginning (IV) Chi Wanyin had never thought
Chi Wanyin had never imagined that this demon cultivator had actually refined his own natal Gu. For ordinary Gu cultivators, if their natal Gu was damaged or died, they would only bear the risk of backlash. However, once it was refined and used on themselves, their strength would greatly increase, and the owner of the natal Gu would also die.
There was no time for the two to think any further. Chi Wanyin, holding a sword, and Lu Qingyi, holding a white silk, attacked Zhuxi, the giant purple scorpion.
However, his outer armor was extremely hard, and even though he was hit by the sword, it didn't seem to cause any substantial damage.
The giant scorpion's tail instead spit out several hidden poisonous needles, which Lu Qingyi blocked with a flick of the white silk in her hand. However, she had consumed too much spiritual energy in using that spell just now, and she could only barely block it.
Chi Wanyin took advantage of this gap and stabbed the giant scorpion with her sword again. The tip of the sword was shining with green light. This move injected 30% of her spiritual power into it. The giant scorpion was unable to dodge and was stabbed. A crack was pierced on its originally indestructible shell. Purple blood dripped onto the ground and immediately corroded a large area of grass and trees.
The giant scorpion seemed to be enraged. After letting out a roar, it used its pincers to attack Chi Wanyin.
Facing the giant scorpion's attack, Chi Wanyin raised her sword to resist, but Zhu Yu was now a genuine Nascent Soul cultivator. Although she managed to resist the attack, she felt a tingling sensation in her palm when she put away her sword.
Seeing that she was just trying to hold on, and Lu Qingyi was at the end of her strength, the giant scorpion focused on dealing with Chi Wanyin.
Seeing the two locked in a fierce battle, Lu Qingyi frowned and pulled out another talisman. Just as she was about to cast a spell, Chi Wanyin telepathically warned her, "Don't use this spell for now."
Even if Lu Qingyi didn't say it, she could know that this magic was probably consumed a lot. Lu Qingyi had used it three times to get out of the predicament of the two people. If she wanted to use it again, she would probably have to overdraw her life.
Lu Qingyi remained silent. Without any magic, she didn't know how to solve the current dilemma.
If so, it would be great if she could break through the realm now.
So, she sent a message to Chi Wanyin, "Hold him back. I want to break through."
This wasn't the right time to break through. Chi Wanyin was startled, but she didn't say anything. She just said, "Okay."
She continued to fight with the giant scorpion, while Lu Qingyi had already sat down.
"Now that you have entered the family, why not take my surname and call yourself Qingyi?"
Lu Qingyi knew that this was the voice of Master Mingyue, and she slowly opened her eyes.
This was when she was six or seven years old. She was brought back to Taichu Sect by Master Mingyue and accepted as his disciple.
As the only disciple of Master Mingyue, she was naturally placed with high hopes. Everything that happened afterwards passed through her mind like a phantom.
Until she encountered this demon cultivator, but this time she did not fight with Chi Wanyin, but with another Taichu Sect disciple. In the end, at the cost of that disciple's death and her own serious injuries, she finally killed the demon cultivator.
But after waking up, she couldn't accept it. Because she failed to protect others, she developed a demon in her heart. When she tried to break through, the demon in her heart caused her to fail.
She fell under the thunder and could only close her eyes unwillingly before she died.
No, it was clearly her and Chi Wanyin who were fighting against the evil cultivator at this moment. Lu Qingyi suddenly opened her eyes, her mind was clear, and scenes from the past emerged in her mind like a kaleidoscope.
Lu Qingyi stretched out her hand. Although there was nothing in front of her, it seemed as if she had touched something. She was about to break through.
Feeling the vast spiritual energy surging into her body as she sat down, she had entered the Nascent Soul stage.
Chi Wanyin had struggled to hold on until this point, her body now covered in bloodstains. Lu Qingyi suddenly stood up. This time, she didn't rely on the talisman, but directly said, "Kan represents water, Gen represents mountain."
A majestic water dragon attacked the giant scorpion transformed by Zhu Xi, but his feet were rooted and he could not move, so he took the blow.
Purple blood continued to seep out. Chi Wanyin took advantage of the fact that his injuries had not yet healed and he was temporarily unable to move, and poured all his spiritual power into the peach wood sword. The tip of the peach wood sword lit up with an unprecedented green light.
This sword completely split Zhu Xi's shell. With his life-defining Gu injured to such an extent, he finally transformed back into human form. Covering his wound, he said, "I really underestimated you two. But even if you kill me, you won't live much longer!"
Seeing the determined look on the demon cultivator's face, Chi Wanyin's expression changed, "Oh no, he's going to self-destruct." However, at this time, she was almost exhausted due to excessive consumption of spiritual power, and she was a little unstable just standing.
Zhu Yu had not yet fully recovered to the Golden Core realm. If the Nascent Soul cultivator blew himself up in a gamble with his life, perhaps neither she nor Lu Qingyi would be able to withstand it.
Upon hearing this, Lu Qingyi immediately drew out the white silk and wanted to finish off Zhu Yu. However, it was too late to stop him. A huge white light flashed before the two of them, but the pain they had imagined did not come as expected.
After the white light, Chi Wanyin looked at the magic weapon in the sky. It was a brilliant star wrapped in several seals, shining brightly.
"It's Su Mingyi." Lu Qingyi showed a relieved expression.
Since Su Mingyi appears here, it means that Master has come out of seclusion.
Sure enough, a cultivator dressed in a plain white Taoist robe and looking like a Gushe immortal landed not far away. She was Lu Qingyi's master and the head of the Taichu Sect - Mingyue Zhenren.
Master Mingyue glanced at the two of them and sighed, "I just used the Tracing Brightness Instrument to pause time. We shouldn't stay here for long."
After a while, the three of them were outside the dense forest. Chi Wanyin couldn't help but sigh in her heart, he was indeed worthy of being a powerful god.
But Lu Qingyi asked doubtfully, "Master, why did you suddenly come out of seclusion?"
Master Mingyue looked at his only disciple, his eyes softening. "The calamity that befell the Taichu Sect is approaching. I, your master, had no choice but to do this. Otherwise, the Taichu Sect might have perished today."
*
In the guest room of Taichu Sect, the moonlight was shining in the room tonight, and Xu Yunting was lying on the bed with his eyes closed and sleeping soundly.
Luo Yin just sat beside the couch, looking at her sleeping face, complex emotions surging in his eyes.
Galan stood aside, communicating with her through telepathy, "Have you seen enough?"
After a moment, Luo Yin stood up. With a smile on her lips, she summoned a red oil-paper umbrella with eighteen bones. "Let's go. Perhaps after tonight, the Taichu Sect will no longer exist."
These words were spoken to Galan, and the taciturn physical cultivator just nodded at this moment.
The two left the guest room together. The moon reflected by the clear spring was still bright and flawless.
As soon as they left the guest room, Luo Yin chuckled as if she had sensed something, "Zhu Xi is dead, but he completed the mission very well."
The next moment, the demon cultivators who were lying in ambush here quietly appeared. Luo Yin naturally had no need to hide. He released the pressure of a Nascent Soul cultivator and issued an order to these demon cultivators, "Tonight, kill all the members of the Taichu Sect."
*
When the three returned, they saw blood and fire everywhere.
On the broken walls were the corpses of Taichu Sect's disciples lying all over the place.
Not far away, the elders headed by Elder Yi were confronting another group of demonic cultivators with demonic energy. However, Elder Yi was already seriously injured and it looked like he could not hold on for much longer. When Chi Wanyin saw the face of the leader clearly, her pupils suddenly shrank.
"How could it be..." Her voice even trembled a little.
The leader turned out to be Luo Yin, whom she had trusted before. Chi Wanyin suddenly felt angry at being deceived. Why would she lead these evil cultivators?
Lu Qingyi, however, looked calm as she quickly rushed over, chanting, "Li means fire."
A huge fire phoenix flew out after being summoned by her, and attacked Luo Yin, who was leading the group, and Galan behind her. Luo Yin did not dodge after sensing the attack, but simply opened the paper umbrella in her hand and threw it into the air. The moment the umbrella became larger, the swift movements of the fire phoenix under the umbrella became extremely slow.
Seeing her dodge the attack, Lu Qingyi was horrified. Although she didn't know the origin of the paper umbrella, its effect was almost the same as Su Mingyi's.
When she was about to continue attacking, Master Mingyue had already grasped her shoulders and said, "Let me do it."
He looked at Luo Yin. Although the cultivator in front of him was only at the Nascent Soul stage, he seemed unfathomable.
"It's no use continuing to fight like this. I wonder if this fellow Taoist dares to make a bet with me." Master Mingyue said expressionlessly.
Luo Yin giggled, "Oh? What bet?"
Mingyue Zhenren said, "Fight with me. If you win, I will give you the Sumingyi. Isn't that why you've come here? Otherwise, if you lose, you will leave Taichu Sect."
"Okay, I agree." Luo Yin agreed straightforwardly. She looked at Chi Wanyin again, "Fellow Daoist Chi probably can't guess who I am."
If Chi Wanyin's spiritual power had not recovered at this time, she would have wanted to rush forward and strike her with a sword. "Who are you?" she asked harshly.
Luo Yin still had a smiling look on her face. "Me? I'm Xu Anzhi."
"I see. I should have thought of it earlier." Chi Wanyin said bitterly.
Since Xu Anzhi has a clone, it is impossible that there is only one.
While the two were talking, Master Mingyue had already set up a barrier. After all, if cultivators of this level fought each other, they would be affected if they were not careful, so they could only fight freely within the barrier.
The two of them entered the barrier, where no one could see the scene. Lu Qingyi healed Chi Wanyin's wounds while saying, "Just trust Master."
At this moment, Elder Yi, who had been holding on, spat out a mouthful of blood and said dejectedly: "My Taichu Sect's thousand-year heritage was destroyed tonight."
Chi Wanyin, who was still recovering from her injuries, turned indifferent upon hearing this. "If you hadn't been so obsessed with power and profit, how could the Taichu Sect have reached this point?"
The battle in the barrier was still going on, and everyone in the Taichu Sect couldn't help but feel worried. If Master Mingyue failed to defeat the female demon cultivator... they would probably be slaughtered next.
The time spent waiting for the fight to end was extremely long. Fortunately, after three incense sticks, Master Mingyue stepped out of the barrier. She still looked calm, but when Luo Yin came out, her body was covered with wounds.
Seeing this, Galan hurriedly tried to support her, but she dodged his hand and said to Master Mingyue, "I accept the loss, but I have had a great time tonight anyway." She waved at the demon cultivators, and in a flash, everyone left with the help of the teleportation formation.
