Chapter 169 The Enemy Arrives
The guess was confirmed, Su Qingwu said inwardly, "As expected", and then continued to ask through telepathy:
"In Bai Luo Villa, you can pawn your treasures to fulfill your wishes. Is this rumor true?"
From the inside, another response came:
"This is true, but this kind of deal is unacceptable and the price paid is high."
"Can you tell me more about this?"
"Qingwu, you can look at this force from another perspective and regard it as a kind of sacrifice."
The word "sacrifice" is something that most monks would shudder at.
Su Qingwu felt a little depressed.
"If a ghost cultivator participates in the pawning of Bailuo Villa and achieves his wish, what will be the result?"
This time, Su Wen was silent for a while before responding:
"It's hard to judge. It depends on the details. Qingwu asked about this matter. Could it be that he made friends with other ghost cultivators outside?"
"It's not really a friendship, it's just a transaction with the other party."
"That's right, what's the name of that ghost cultivator?"
"Gu Wan."
"But it comes from the Dongliu Sea?"
"Exactly. Su Wen, do you know this senior?"
"I have heard of this person's reputation in the ghost cultivation market. He is known for his ruthless methods, but he is also very trustworthy. Once he has promised something, he will never break his promise."
Speaking of this, Su Wen was also full of curiosity.
"Would she actually go to Bailuo Villa? As far as I know, Gu Wan has been a ghost cultivator for nearly three thousand years. It is impossible for her not to know how deep the water in Bailuo Villa is."
Su Qingwu's mind changed several times, and he continued to transmit his thoughts:
"Do you know Gu Wan's specific strength? She has been wearing a white cloak, so I can't see her face clearly, and I can't judge her realm."
Su Wen said frankly:
"That cloak is what she usually uses to conceal her strength. As for her realm, when the ghost cultivators in the trading market mention her, they assume that she is at the Ghost General realm, which is equivalent to the Divine Transformation stage of cultivators."
Having heard this, Su Qingwu did not ask any more questions.
In the small fenced courtyard, Lin Yan was still walking back and forth, her pace getting faster and faster.
It is now three quarters past noon, and Gu Wan has not returned yet.
Su Qingwu walked slowly to the spiritual stone, mobilized his spiritual power, and tried to move the stone.
On the side, Lin Yan looked at this scene and subconsciously held her breath.
After a while, the psychic stone moved away from its original location, and no unusual phenomena were heard.
This means that Gu Wan is still alive.
According to what she said yesterday, she was temporarily trapped somewhere or delayed by something.
Lin Yan's tense mind relaxed slightly, but the worry in her eyes remained.
Su Qingwu looked at her in this state, knowing that it would be impossible for her to calm down and practice in a short period of time, so he did not mention the relevant matters, but just walked to the stone bench and sat down, slowly waiting for the result.
After half a day, the mist surrounding the courtyard suddenly began to move.
The mist gradually dissipated, and a black figure quickly descended from the sky.
As early as the moment the incident happened, Su Qingwu realized something was wrong and secretly took precautions.
When he saw the black shadow, he immediately took Lin Yan and quickly flew to the side.
At almost the same moment, a slight exclamation was heard by my ears.
The visitor obviously did not expect her to be here.
Judging from the murderous intent emanating from him, he is definitely an enemy, not a friend.
Sure enough, the next moment, the black shadow attacked the two of them.
The first move is a killing move.
Su Qingwu waved his sleeves, and a Cangyun sword instantly appeared in front of him. Then he held the sword in his right hand and instantly chopped out two sword beams.
With a series of loud bangs, the killing move was easily blocked.
Lin Yan's face turned pale, but there was no trace of fear in her eyes. Instead, she stared closely at the movements of the black shadow.
The enemy was wearing a long black robe with narrow sleeves and a devil mask, and his identity could not be identified.
As for his cultivation, he was in the middle stage of Yuanying, one level higher than Su Qingwu.
She didn't care about this gap.
Of course, we did not underestimate the enemy.
In the small courtyard with fences, the space available for display is really limited.
Su Qingwu simply took Lin Yanling into the air and rushed into the distance.
The enemy thought she was trying to escape, so they quickly chased her and launched a series of killing attacks.
A moment later, accompanied by another round of bang sounds, the second wave of attacks was easily blocked by Su Qingwu.
At the same time, she waved her sleeves, took out a fourth-grade top-grade earth-binding talisman, activated it, and threw it behind her.
Under the control of his spiritual consciousness, the talisman quickly fell to the ground and instantly turned into a large piece of quicksand. An extremely strong suction force was instantly emitted.
The fleeing enemy was caught off guard and fell straight to the ground, instantly sinking into the quicksand.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Su Qingwu drew his sword and killed him.
The sound of a sharp blade breaking through the air was heard instantly, and the sword light with overwhelming murderous intent instantly chopped towards the enemy's head.
The next moment, large amounts of blood splashed onto the quicksand.
The body split into two halves slowly fell to the ground, and in a moment, was buried by quicksand.
When one reaches the Yuan Infant stage, even if the physical body perishes, as long as the Yuan Infant can escape, one can still survive.
However, this sudden enemy has now completely collapsed.
It was because Su Qingwu's sword not only split his body, but also directly killed the Yuanying in his Dantian!
On the side, Lin Yan looked at the enemy's death, her heart was shocked and speechless.
It's not like she hasn't seen Yuanying monks take action before, but no matter which one of them, the strength they displayed was not as strong as that of Senior Su.
For a moment, she felt fortunate.
If Senior Su hadn't been here, she would probably be beheaded by now.
The enemy came very suddenly and we don't know where they belong.
Regardless, what is happening now has proved one thing.
The fenced courtyard has been exposed. If we go back there, we will most likely be hunted down by the enemy.
Su Qingwu naturally thought of this aspect as well.
She turned to look at the person next to her and said bluntly:
"Friend Lin, are you still planning to return to that small courtyard?"
Lin Yan's face looked a little confused.
"That spiritual stone can only be moved within the courtyard for a short distance and cannot be taken away. If I leave, I won't be able to know the master's situation. And if the master comes back, he will definitely go to the courtyard."
This statement makes its meaning clear.
Su Qingwu heard this and nodded in response:
"Then go back. I will make some arrangements around the courtyard so that if there are enemies coming later, we can defend ourselves in time."
"Thank you, Mr. Su."
Su Qingwu did this for herself.
Gu Wan once said that there was a miniature teleportation array inside the spiritual stone.
Once something goes wrong, the promised Earth Yuan Fruit will be transferred to the Spiritual Stone along with the mustard seed space.
If she left immediately, she would not be able to obtain this five thousand year old spiritual plant.
After making the decision, the two immediately returned to the courtyard.
Su Qingwu made a series of moves and quickly set up a layer of restrictions around the courtyard.
The paper puppets that were originally guarding both sides of the courtyard gate were affected by the residual power of the initial fight and were reduced to ashes.
If the fenced courtyard had not been reinforced by Gu Wan using special means, it would not have been able to withstand the aftermath of the attack.
Looking around again, the dispersed fog has gathered again.
Seeing Su Qingwu staring at the mist, Lin Yan explained:
"Master told me that the fog in the forest is formed naturally, but she has arranged some tricks in the spiritual stone to make the fog around the courtyard thicker. If one day, the spiritual stone disappears, then everything will return to its original state."
