Li Shiming thought that Yuqing Sect would come looking for him, but a month later, Yuqing Sect showed no intention of looking for him.
In terms of intelligence, the indigenous Wanshou Sect is very strong. If the Yuqing Sect really starts investigating Li Shiming, then the intelligence department of the Wanshou Sect will more or less get some news.
Li Shiming didn't know that he used the living dead Zhao Qingfeng to shoot Wu Zicang with the "Thunder Bow", and was believed by the great monk Duan Zhang to be the work of the "Sun Shooting Sect".
The direction of the investigation was completely reversed, and with the appearance of the great monk, he was cleared of the suspicion of killing Feng Qian.
Li Shiming was truly in seclusion for the past month. His cave was blocked by a large formation, and he was completely cut off from the outside world.
He sat cross-legged in the training room, comprehending the five elements of the 'Five Rhythms Qi Training Art' with his mind. Previously, due to his insufficient realm, although the comprehension of the five elements he gained while listening to the teachings in the Taichu Sect had reached a level close to that of a great cultivator, he had not yet been able to transform the comprehension that was not yet at that realm into his own comprehension.
Now, what he did was to constantly comprehend the Five Elements, so that his understanding of the Five Elements could reach the level of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.
Before taking the 'Nascent Soul Early Stage Fourth Level Breakthrough Pill', all he wanted was to keep looking for opportunities for his advancement.
Now he no longer considers the opportunity for promotion, mainly because he has made enemies with the Yuqing Sect. He cannot go out and can only stay in the mountain gate of the Wanshou Sect.
Under such circumstances, the possibility of him getting a promotion opportunity is too low.
Anyway, even if he can't find an opportunity to advance, after several years of accumulation, he can break through to the middle stage of Nascent Soul.
It would be better to use these few years to make your foundation more solid.
In his body, the five Nascent Souls were each practicing the Five Elements Technique in the 'Five Rhythms Qi Training Technique', and in conjunction with his perception, they were constantly improving their own perception of the Five Elements.
The conflict between Yuqing Sect and the four local sects continued to intensify. Nascent Soul cultivators continued to die in the four local sects, while Nascent Soul Thunder cultivators in Yuqing Sect were also ambushed and killed from time to time. The conflict between the two sides became more and more fierce.
In Huijiang Mountains, Liuguang Temple on the mountain is a branch of Lianhua Temple. It is also one of the few resource points in Dongqi Continent that produces great monk resources.
There are three mid-stage venerables stationed in Liuguang Temple on a daily basis. Such a protective force is usually enough in the Dongqi Continent.
That night, twenty-one flashes of lightning flashed rapidly in the darkness, looking extremely strange.
The twenty-one lightning bolts represent the twenty-one Nascent Soul Thunder Cultivators of Yuqing Sect, among whom there are five Nascent Soul Middle Stage Thunder Cultivators.
"Liuguang Temple is ahead!" Peng Bin looked at the huge temple on the top of the mountain in the dark and said to Qin Rui beside him.
He and Qin Rui are both Yuqing Sect's middle-stage Nascent Soul thunder cultivators, and are also the commanders of this mission.
"The Wangchuan Jade Lotus will mature tomorrow morning. Do you think the protective formation of the Liuguang Temple can last for a stick of incense?" Qin Rui said with a smile.
The Wangchuan Jade Lotus is exactly the resource for the great monks guarded by Liuguang Temple. It matures once every three hundred years and produces twelve Wangchuan Jade Lotus seeds. The Wangchuan Jade Lotus Seeds are the main ingredient for refining the fourth-grade elixir that assists the great monks in their cultivation.
The Yuqing Sect obtained this information through some connections.
The Yuqing Sect intentionally increased the frequency of attacks on resource points far away from the Liuguang Temple, but secretly mobilized most of the thunder cultivators that could be mobilized to come to the Liuguang Temple.
The twelve Wangchuan Jade Lotus Seeds made both Great Monk Wang He and Great Monk Duan Zhang extremely excited.
After reaching the level of a great cultivator, even if one is in a super power like the Yuqing Sect, the resources of a great cultivator are extremely precious.
There were no great cultivators from the Yuqing Sect coming here, mainly because there were only two great cultivators from the Yuqing Sect in the Dongqi Continent, and they would be discovered if they moved.
The two great monks can stabilize the attention of the four local sects. In their opinion, with five middle-Nascent Soul thunder cultivators and sixteen early-Nascent Soul thunder cultivators, it would be easy to destroy Liuguang Temple with such combat power.
“Uncle Duan and Uncle Wang only asked for the Wangchuan Jade Lotus seeds. Then the Wangchuan Jade Lotus itself can belong to us. After we get it, we can discuss how to distribute it!” Peng Bin seemed to have seen the result of getting the treasure in the ruined temple, and he said with a smile.
Although taking the body of the Forgotten Jade Lotus is equivalent to digging up the roots of the resources of this great cultivator, the body of the Forgotten Jade Lotus is also a top-grade fourth-grade refining material. Even if the body of the Forgotten Jade Lotus is taken away, it will only offend the Lotus Temple more.
There is no need to worry about being evaluated as a destroyed resource point by the immortal cultivation world, because the Wangchuan Jade Lotus is both a resource and a refining material. Obtaining refining materials cannot be considered as destroying a resource point.
“When the time comes, whichever of you brothers wants the body of the Forgetful Jade Lotus, you can give some compensation to the other brothers. If no one wants the body of the Forgetful Jade Lotus, we can sell it and divide the proceeds equally!” Qin Rui also became interested and proposed before he could even get it.
"Okay!" The other three middle-stage Nascent Soul Lei Xiu who followed along all agreed with a smile.
Although Peng Bin and Qin Rui were in charge of the mission, the three middle-stage Nascent Soul Lei Xiu who came with them also had the right to share the benefits, and Qin Rui's distribution method was exactly what they wanted.
There are only sixteen Yuanying early stage thunder cultivators who are not eligible to participate in the distribution of benefits. They can only see if they can search for resources from other places in Liuguang Temple after Liuguang Temple is destroyed.
"Act according to the plan!" Peng Bin issued the order after the team arrived at a certain distance from Liuguang Temple.
If you get any closer to Liuguang Temple, you will be detected by the formation of Liuguang Temple.
They were not afraid of Liuguang Temple, but they were worried that the Venerable of Liuguang Temple would escape. Once the purpose of Yuqing Sect was discovered, the Venerable of Liuguang Temple would most likely flee with Wangchuan Jade Lotus.
The Yuqing Sect had sent so many Nascent Soul Thunder Cultivators this time, just to prevent any of the Venerables from escaping, and also to break through the Liuguang Temple's formation as quickly as possible.
They knew very well that once their purpose was discovered by the Lotus Temple and the other three local sects, great masters or great monks would rush over immediately.
The five middle-Nascent Soul stage thunder cultivators were distributed at five equiangular locations outside the Liuguang Temple, and the remaining early-Nascent Soul stage thunder cultivators filled in the gaps left by the five middle-Nascent Soul stage thunder cultivators.
In this way, even if the venerables in Liuguang Temple wanted to escape, they would not be able to escape by bypassing the encirclement of the twenty-one Nascent Soul Thunder Cultivators.
As the twenty-one Nascent Soul Thunder Cultivators of Yuqing Sect tightened the encirclement, when they approached to a certain range of Liuguang Temple, the formation of Liuguang Temple discovered them.
In Liuguang Temple, the images of the Three Dao Venerables appeared.
"Amitabha!" The image of a middle-stage venerable chanted the Buddha's name loudly.
The Venerable's Dharma image was like an angry Vajra looking at the Yuqing Sect's Nascent Soul Thunder Cultivators outside the formation. There was no sadness or joy on his face, and he seemed to have no fear of life or death.
"Monk, stop struggling in vain. You can't hold on!" Peng Bin said lightly as he looked at the images of the Three Dao Venerables.
It seemed that he was using courtesy before force, but in fact he was already preparing for the attack.
He and other Nascent Soul Thunder Cultivators were drawing complicated runes, preparing to perform the 'Jade Purity Purple Thunder Method'.
Although the power of the 'Jade Purity Purple Thunder Method' was greatly reduced due to the lack of participation of great cultivators, the simultaneous use of the 'Jade Purity Purple Thunder Method' by twenty-one Nascent Soul Thunder Cultivators was powerful enough to easily crush the Liuguang Temple's formation, which was guarded by only three mid-stage Venerables.
A thundercloud appeared in the sky, and purple lightning rolled in the cloud.
The Dharma image of the middle-stage Venerable looked at Peng Bin, and Peng Bin had a bad feeling. There was a hint of sarcasm in the eyes of the Dharma image of the middle-stage Venerable.
Just when Peng Bin was wondering where the problem lay, a big hand suddenly stretched out from Liuguang Temple.
This is a big golden hand, and this golden hand grabbed the thundercloud in the sky.
"Thunder!" Peng Bin shouted in horror.
Purple lightning in the thundercloud struck towards the golden hand, but the golden hand ignored the purple lightning and allowed it to strike.
After being attacked by the purple lightning, the golden hand continued to grab towards the thundercloud without any impact.
The second, third, and more than ten purple lightning bolts appeared in the thundercloud and struck the golden hand, trying to destroy it.
Purple electric light flashed on the golden hand that was struck, but this did not affect the golden hand's approach to the thundercloud.
The golden hand reached into the thundercloud, and the terrifying power of thunder and lightning was grabbed into the palm of the hand, and then crushed into nothingness.
With just this one move, the thundercloud lost much of its power.
"Great Honorable One!" Peng Bin had no idea what kind of existence had made the move, and he cried out in horror.
He never imagined that a great master would be stationed in the small Liuguang Temple.
This absolutely shouldn't happen. According to the intelligence acquired by Yuqing Sect, the whereabouts of every great cultivator and great master from the four local sects were known, and no great master had come to Liuguang Temple.
"Amitabha!" The same Buddhist name, when uttered by the great master, has a completely different effect.
This chanting of the Buddha's name caused sixteen of the twenty-one Nascent Soul Thunder Cultivators in the early stage to spit out blood at the same time. When they besieged Liuguang Temple, they got very close to the Temple in order to squeeze the space in the Temple and prevent the Nascent Soul cultivators stationed in the Temple from escaping.
The Yuanying stage thunder cultivators were exposed to the attack range of the Great Venerable in Liuguang Temple. The Great Venerable chanted the Buddha's name and severely injured the sixteen Yuanying stage thunder cultivators.
Even the five middle-stage Nascent Soul thunder cultivators were not feeling well and they were feeling dizzy from time to time.
"Leave here quickly!" Peng Bin ordered hurriedly.
He knew very well what would happen next. The realm suppression from the Great Venerable would greatly weaken their combat power.
Originally, they had no hope of facing a great venerable, and their fighting power was greatly weakened, which was almost tantamount to waiting for death.
"Guangwu, do you want to show mercy?" Just when Peng Bin wanted to escape, a figure appeared behind Peng Bin and said with a smile to the great master in Liuguang Temple.
Peng Bin only felt his body go limp and all his strength disappeared. Even the Nascent Soul in his body became difficult to control.
He looked at the figure with horror and recognized the other person's identity.
To be honest, the monk who appeared was not worthy of his attention, because it was none other than the great monk Pan Xiao, the great monk Pan Xiao of the Yanri Sect.
That day, it was because of the incident involving the disciple of the great monk Pan Xiao that the Yanri Sect was almost destroyed.
At that time, Master Pan Xiao's performance was extremely poor, and he did not have any of the power and authority that a master should have.
But today, Peng Bin deeply felt the fear from the great monk, especially the fear from a great demon monk.
Peng Bin was unable to move. He had been poisoned by a powerful poison released by a great demon cultivator.
This is definitely an overkill. The poison of Master Pan Xiao is enough to threaten a master monk. It is a waste to use it on a middle-stage Nascent Soul monk.
But the great monk Pan Xiao hated the Yuqing Sect so much that when he got the chance this time, he did not hold back at all.
"Die!" Great Monk Pan Xiao didn't want to say anything more to these youngsters of Yuqing Sect, he waved his hand and said.
Long before the twenty-one Nascent Soul Thunder Cultivators surrounded Liuguang Temple, the great monk Pan Xiao was ready and waiting for the opportunity to take action.
As soon as he finished speaking, the poison in the bodies of all the Nascent Soul Thunder Cultivators present, including the sixteen Nascent Soul Early Stage Thunder Cultivators who were severely injured, took effect and soon devoured their lives. Even their Nascent Souls were annihilated by the poison.
Great Monk Pan Xiao looked at the twenty-one dead Nascent Soul Thunder Cultivators and a cruel smile appeared on his face.
"Amitabha, I will recite a mantra for them!" Great Venerable Guangwu did not come out of Liuguang Temple. He stood above the formation and said with his hands clasped together.
"Guangwu, why do you have to be so hypocritical? Wasn't this plan made by you?" Great Monk Pan Xiao was somewhat dissatisfied with Great Venerable Guangwu's behavior and said in a deep voice.
Although the Wangchuan Jade Lotus did mature in recent years, it would not mature tomorrow morning. This news was released intentionally by the Lotus Temple.
The Lotus Temple cooperated with the Yanri Sect. The Great Master Guangwu, who had been in seclusion, and the great monk Pan Xiao, who was in seclusion due to being held accountable by the sect, set a trap together in order to kill the Yuqing Sect's living forces to the greatest extent possible.
Of course, the Wanshou Sect and the Taichu Sect also participated in this plan. Although they did not send great monks to participate, they actively cooperated in other aspects and even made some sacrifices.
As local tyrants, the four local sects took advantage of their intelligence and deceived the Yuqing Sect.
The cooperation between Lianhua Temple and Yanri Sect was the most unexpected. Who would have thought that Lianhua Temple and Yanri Sect, the two most opposing sects, would work together wholeheartedly.
The great masters of Buddhism and the great monks of the Demon Sect would normally be hostile to each other even when they met, but in order to fight against the Yuqing Sect, they chose to cooperate.
A total of twenty-one Yuqing Sect's Nascent Soul Thunder Cultivators almost killed half of the Yuqing Sect's Nascent Soul Thunder Cultivators in Dongqi Continent. In particular, the deaths of five mid-Nascent Soul Thunder Cultivators dealt a heavy blow to the Yuqing Sect's arrogance.
"Pan Xiao, clean up outside. You should also deliver the spoils to the Lotus Temple!" said the Great Master Guangwu after he finished chanting a mantra for rebirth.
How could he not be aware of the little tricks of Great Monk Pan Xiao? Killing these Nascent Soul Thunder Cultivators with poison was a huge waste.
The poison is not only meant to kill Lei Xiu of Yuqing Sect, but also to prevent Lianhua Temple from snatching the spoils.
The Nascent Soul Lei Xiu who comes from a super power still has very attractive spiritual objects on his body.
