Lotus blossoms from the green waves
The people from Wuchen Island, along with two demon cultivators and one casual cultivator, were eating, drinking, playing and joking in the secret realm. Finally, when they came across an ice cave by chance, they remembered to do some serious work.
As she approached the cave entrance, Bai Roushuang felt a biting cold wind and quickly put on the winter clothes given by her senior sister.
This ice cave is extremely high and huge, all made of ice and snow, exquisite and transparent, with white frost covering the ground. Looking up, you can see the sunlight shining through the highest hole, reflecting a magnificent and wonderful scene in the cave.
In Bai Roushuang's words, this ice cave looked very much like the kind of place where a mysterious master would hide treasures.
She finally got it right.
It’s a pity that there must be dangers around the treasure.
The little fox jumped into the cave, dragging its big furry tail. Just as it stepped on the ground at the entrance, a huge python woke up from its slumber, spitting out its tongue and biting at everyone. Xu Shulou quickly raised his fan to block it.
The python bit Jiang Yan, and Xu Shulou fanned out, hitting the snake's fang, knocking out half of its fang. Before the python could react, Xu Shulou had already recalled the fan and wiped the venom off it with a distressed look.
The python was furious, whether because it had lost half of its tooth or because she disliked it. It swung its huge tail, creating a crack in the ground. Everyone dodged with their swords. The python then used its body to wrap around Xu Shulou, trying to strangle her.
Xu Shulou dodged quickly and had time to pick up the broken fang and weigh it. He then asked his fellow apprentices behind him, "Does anyone need the materials for refining medicine? If so, I'll break off a few more."
This sentence successfully attracted all the hatred of the python and temporarily let go of the others. Xu Shulou entangled the monster and let the rest of the people go to get the treasure first.
After the python's teeth were broken off, the opponent became depressed and temporarily lost the desire to fight.
Xu Shulou did not kill them. Seeing that they had lost their fighting spirit and were in a miserable state, he stopped and flew into the ice cave, only to find that his fellow junior brothers and sisters were confronting a group of strangers.
"We were the first to enter the treasure room," the leading man was saying, "first come, first served. This magic weapon is naturally ours."
Bai Roushuang naturally refused to accept the offer: "If it weren't for my senior sister holding the monster, how could you have come in so easily?"
The other party was naturally aware of this truth, but seeing that they were outnumbered and had just consumed their spiritual energy in the fight with the snake monster, they certainly had no strength to fight, so they didn't want to give in.
Xu Shulou stepped forward and proposed a compromise plan: "No matter what we find, we will split it 70% and 30%. If we take the magic weapon, we will give it to you at 30% of the market price in spirit stones. How do you think?"
The man flatly refused: "We are not short of spiritual stones. Who doesn't come to the secret realm for magic weapons?"
Xu Shulou sighed softly: "Then there is nothing we can do."
Bai Roushuang was very nervous: "Senior Sister, you are not going to give it to them, are you?"
Xu Shulou was puzzled: "Do I look like a pushover?"
"No, no..." Bai Roushuang cleared her throat awkwardly, not daring to admit that she had such a thought.
While the two of them were talking, Ji Ci lost his temper and flew towards the light in the cave on his sword.
If they were to compete for the initiative, it could be considered fair. However, that group of people did not compete with him to see who was faster. Instead, they condensed a spiritual power in their palms and attacked Ji Ci.
"Be careful!" The people from Wuchen Island immediately warned. Ji Ci dodged hastily, but still got a cut on his left arm.
Xu Shulou frowned, his face darkening: "You hurt my junior brother, this matter can't be resolved peacefully."
The other party said arrogantly: "What do you think?"
Xu Shulou's folding fan slipped into his hand, his hair fluttered, and his sleeves and skirt moved without wind: "Go ahead."
There was a burst of sneers from the opposite side. The group from Wuchen Island, plus the two demon cultivators and one independent cultivator who were accompanying them, only had a little over ten people, while the group on the opposite side was from a large sect, with at least forty or fifty people.
The leading man was amused, but he pretended to maintain his composure and said, "Girl, why don't you go first?"
Please come in first, Xu Shulou opened the folding fan in his hand and fanned him out.
The man flew backwards and hit the mountain wall, spitting out a mouthful of blood. He rolled over and landed on the ground, but he didn't fall too badly. But his face became extremely ugly: "I wanted to let you help me because of your fairy-like beauty. Since this is the case, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Bai Roushuang couldn't help laughing out loud: "You are good at making amends for yourself."
The man glared at her angrily, and a five-element hook appeared in his hand: "Do it!"
Xu Shulou held up a spiritual shield to block the attack from the opposite side, and said to a fellow apprentice: "Protect the little apprentice sister."
Bai Roushuang quickly shook her head: "No need to protect me, Senior Brother, just help Senior Sister beat people!"
Xu Shulou smiled slightly: "The leader's strength has been tested, don't worry."
"Of course I'm relieved. Senior Sister is the best!" Bai Roushuang had blind confidence in Xu Shulou.
The casual cultivator who followed hesitated and asked, "Can Miss Xu do it?"
Bai Roushuang refuted seriously: "Don't say my sister is incompetent!"
Xu Shulou had already stepped out of the protective shield, strolling leisurely in the garden. The spiritual attacks from the opposite side were easily blocked by her folding fan.
Seeing her approaching, several people attacked with weapons, but they were shaken away by the protective spiritual power of Xu Shulou.
The folding fan opened and closed, blocked and attacked, all as smoothly as flowing clouds and water. Today she used a lotus leaf lotus fan, with a jade frame and a lotus painted on the fan. When fighting, with the gorgeous spiritual power, it was really like a lotus emerging from the green waves.
Bai Roushuang was almost in a trance watching.
Other people on Wuchen Island also started a fight with the opposing side.
With the leader being so strong, the others wouldn't be any stronger than him. Xu Shulou was almost suppressing the opponents.
This was the first time that Bai Roushuang had witnessed how strong the senior sister was. The last time she fought against two people, she was forced to use her natal sword, but that was actually due to the power of the soul-summoning banner. This time, she didn't even use her sword, but only used her folding fan to face the enemy head-on, without any tricks, but only relying on her strength. Bai Roushuang knew that the reputation of being the best in the cultivation world was definitely not exaggerated.
The opponent knew he was no match for her, so he used a dirty trick. A black cold light silently went straight to Xu Shulou's heart, but she dodged it by leaning sideways. She raised her eyes and looked at the person who used the dirty trick. Under her gaze, the person nervously took a few steps back.
Xu Shulou flicked his folding fan lightly, and his spiritual power condensed into a soft whip, which he whipped fiercely on the man. The first blow broke the man's protective spiritual power, and after three or five blows, he fainted.
Under her, except for the leader who was slightly stronger, most people could not last more than five moves.
Her eyes were cold when she attacked, and when those people almost thought they were going to die under her fan, Xu Shulou stopped.
All the people on the other side fell to the ground, some vomited blood, some were unconscious, and some had broken bones, but in the world of cultivation, as long as you are not dead, broken arms and legs can be reattached. Xu Shulou did not kill anyone, which means he showed mercy.
While everyone was stunned, Xu Shulou lowered her eyes slightly, hiding the murderous intent in her eyes, and she was the kind-hearted person who usually looked unobtrusive. She cleared her throat, raised her hand and pointed at the giant snake that was pretending to be dead and lying motionless not far away: "I own this mountain, and I own this snake..."
Xu Shulou was not very experienced in robbing for the first time, and he didn't know how to ask for the price. Bai Roushuang noticed her pause and immediately bared her teeth fiercely: "If you want to stay alive, hand over the spirit stones!"
"...How many spirit stones?"
Xu Shulou didn't know the market price: "How much do you think you are worth?"
She asked sincerely, but the other party took it as a threat.
The leading man turned pale, took out a money bag in humiliation, and handed over the life-saving money with both hands.
Xu Shulou weighed it and said, "Rich enough."
Bai Roushuang came over to take a look and was surprised: "Enough to buy a lot of buns!"
Wait, why buns?
Bai Roushuang burst into tears. When did she become assimilated by those lazy brothers and sisters?
Xu Shulou raised his hand and threw the money bag to Ji Ci: "He hurt you, this bag of spirit stones will be used as your medical expenses."
He collected a money bag and was about to blackmail the others when he heard footsteps coming from the cave entrance. Ji Ci was helpless: "Someone is coming again."
A moment later, a group of people appeared in front of them. Jiang Yan looked closely and said, "What a coincidence."
It turned out to be another group from Lingxiao Sect. They looked at the forty or fifty people lying on the ground in a mess and were shocked for a moment.
In particular, there were several people holding money bags in their hands in a twisted posture, and Bai Roushuang was proudly stepping on one of them, laughing strangely: "You are allowed to be arrogant? You are allowed to plot secretly?"
Lu Beichen always felt that Bai Roushuang was a little different from the delicate and gentle Bai Shijie he knew, and asked hesitantly, "What happened here?"
Xu Shulou was slowly wiping the blood off his hands with a handkerchief: "Someone wants to steal something."
“…”
Xu Shulou glanced at him and said, "Why? You guys want to try it too?"
Lu Beichen laughed dryly: "Shu Lou, stop messing around, do you want to fight one against a hundred?"
"I've tried one against fifty." Xu Shulou's advantage is that she is never afraid of any challenge. She raised her eyebrows and smiled when she heard it. "You can also try with a hundred people."
