Qin Xuanjiu would really not be able to bear it if these misguided children were implicated because of Su Yishui.
When he tried to stop her, Mu Ranwu smiled and glared at him, "Xuanjiu, when Xue Ranran deliberately framed me in Tianmai Mountain, didn't he seem innocent? Are you trying to help him do evil by trying to stop him?"
Qin Xuanjiu was speechless after hearing what his master said. As for Mu Qingge's other disciples, they had never seen Xue Ranran, so naturally they would not plead for her.
But just as they were drafting the manifesto, they suddenly heard someone outside the camp shouting, "Look! They're back! They're back!"
Next, everyone in the tent heard the thunder-like sound of horse hooves.
When everyone came out of the tent, they were all stunned.
There was indeed a herd of horses running in the distant field, but there were people sitting on the horses!
The outpost soldiers who were shouting also realized that they were shouting the wrong words, and quickly beat drums to warn the enemy, and changed their words to shout: "The enemy troops from Gaokan are attacking! Get ready to meet them!"
The righteous people from the three major sects were all here to help, and after hearing this, they also rushed out and formed their battle formations.
But when the horses approached, they realized something was wrong again. There were indeed Gaokan soldiers on the horses, but they all had dull expressions and seemed to be wearing only light clothes for sleeping. They were sitting on horses without even holding weapons, and they just ran all the way here.
They were unarmed at the moment and didn't look like they were coming for a sneak attack!
The one driving the horses was a little girl with bright eyes and a bun.
When the horses arrived at the Daqi camp, the little girl turned over, stood on the horse's back neatly, and said in a loud voice: "Xishan disciple Xue Ranran, under the order of the master, comes to return the lost warhorse!"
Qin Xuanjiu was the first to fly over and glared at the little girl, "Xue Ranran, what are you doing? Why do you steal the horse first and then return it?"
Xue Ranran was really busy with her master all night. At first, the wine master got along very well with her. In order to keep this little girl who could brew wine, he tempted her to teach her how to make talismans. So he gave her a bag of talismans with this in mind. He wanted Ranran to know the ability of the wine master and how useful these talismans were.
Of course, there is also half a volume of secret manuals for making talismans. The old wine fairy was cunning. Although all immortals can make talismans, it is extremely difficult to practice talismans of a higher level. If Xue Ranran read the introductory secret manual, it would be like eating a plate of peanuts to whet the appetite. If there is no subsequent wine, she will definitely be eager to learn from him.
By then, he would be able to trick this well-behaved and lovely little apprentice from Su Yishui and have him make wine and cook for him every day.
Fortunately, Jiu Laoxian had this in mind, and Xue Ranran had already memorized half of the talisman-making secret book.
To make a talisman is actually to solidify the spiritual power of the immortal cultivator and condense it on paper.
She couldn't make talismans with just that half book, but she was more than capable of transforming talismans.
So that night she took her master and sneaked into the stable of Gaokan Army Camp. She first dissolved the elixir that could calm the mind in the horses' drinking water. After the horses calmed down, she peeled off the talismans on their backs.
To modify the talisman, spiritual water is needed, but Su Yishui says that it is not necessary to go through so much trouble. He cuts his wrist with a knife and lets Ranran use his blood to modify the talisman.
Su Yishui's blood is now devil's blood, and its power is astonishing. Although Ran Ran is just a beginner, he merged hundreds of beast-controlling talismans into Su Yishui's bowl of blood and turned it into military talismans.
The talisman of the Drunken Immortal plus the blood of the Demon Child is simply a deadly combination.
Because the horses were coming by themselves, the soldiers of Gaokan gathered together, roasting sheep and drinking wine to celebrate. After the half bowl of blood talisman was poured into the wine jar, the officers and soldiers who had drunk the wine suddenly became excited. In the second half of the night when everyone was asleep, they stood up straight, entered the stable, climbed on the horse's back, grabbed the horse's mane and left the Gaokan camp.
When the people guarding the camp discovered the situation belatedly, they beat drums and gongs in a panic, but it was of no use.
So Gao Kan's soldiers each rode a horse and sent the horses back to the Da Qi camp.
Now, after the Gaokan soldiers rolled off their horses, they all fell to the ground and fell into a deep sleep. That night, Daqi captured hundreds of Gaokan soldiers without any effort.
Now listening to Qin Xuanjiu's question, Ran Ran smiled and said, "A blessing in disguise? I can only say that the magic talismans on these horses were not tampered with by Xishan. As for now, these horses have returned to Zhao with hundreds of prisoners of war. I also ask General Qin to be clear that we Xishan have not colluded with Gao Kan to endanger the people of Daqi."
At this time, people from the three major sects also surrounded them and snorted coldly: "The thief is crying thief, what the hell are you doing in Xishan?"
Although Ran Ran didn't know that Master Mu had come to the Da Qi military camp to stir up trouble, when she saw Master Mu standing next to the three major sects with a friendly look, she had a rough idea in her heart.
Master Mu has colluded with Chimen and must be saying bad things about Master again.
The mess between Master and Master Mu was also difficult to settle. Xue Ranran only wanted to clarify the matter of stealing the horse, so he clasped his fists and planned to turn around and leave.
However, disciples from the Jiuhua and Kongshan sects jumped out one after another and blocked her way.
"Where are you going, female devil? Tell me quickly where the devil Su Yishui is hiding?"
Xue Ranran was a little uncomfortable being called a female devil for the first time in her life. But when she heard them calling out the devil Su Yishui, she couldn't help but stare at Master Mu.
She even said this out loud. Could it be that she was going to take revenge on her master because he hurt her heart?
However, these are all facts. Ranran feels that her master was indeed a demon before, and he now has spiritual spring in his body. Since there is no need to explain, she does not intend to say anything.
In some aspects, she should learn from her master and not care too much about what others say, especially the opinions of those people from the three major sects.
Now that Ma has returned and extinguished Gao Kan's rage, the next battle will be in the mundane world, and it will be up to fate.
As for the obstruction of the disciples from the three major sects, Ran Ran did not take it too seriously. Ever since his spiritual veins were cut off last time and were reconnected by Su Yishui, Ran Ran felt that his spiritual power seemed to have increased by more than one or two levels.
However, she had no comparison and was not quite sure how much she had improved. Until now, when the disciples from the three major sects tried to stop her from leaving, she just waved her hand and actually blew the disciple from Jiuhua away for a long distance.
Ranran herself was also shocked. She had never intended to use such heavy hands. When did Jiuhua's disciples become so weak?
When Master Kaiyuan saw this, he felt ashamed.
Ever since his favorite disciple was killed at Tianmai Mountain, Master Kaiyuan has been working hard to urge his disciples to improve their cultivation. But he never expected that today, in front of the people from the three major sects, his most capable disciple would be slapped to the ground like a piece of paper.
Kaiyuan Zhenren has always been a shrewd man, and he would never take action without absolute certainty. For example, when he fought with Wei Yan at Jueshan, he never took action, leaving himself enough room for retreat.
He was also one of the people who passed the test and entered the marrow washing pool. Although he was not as successful as Mu Qingge and Su Yishui at a young age, his nearly 200 years of Jindan cultivation should not be underestimated.
Therefore, he did not take Xue Ranran seriously. Even though she had passed the marrow washing pool, she was just a latecomer who had just started out.
But now the Jiuhua sect has lost all its face. As the head of the three major sects and the leader of the righteous path, he must step forward to regain some face.
So when he saw that Ran Ran still wanted to leave, Zhenren Kaiyuan flicked his immortal sleeves and rushed straight towards Ran Ran with his immortal sword.
The people of the three major sects had not seen the skills of Kaiyuan Zhenren for a long time. However, the spiritual energy of the immortal cultivation contained the sword's edge. When the Zhenren made a move, one could feel the sword energy moving first, like a cold kiln opening up, with thousands of swords released, making people's pores stand up.
The disciples of Jiuhua Sect who were good at flattering others clenched their fists and clapped their hands, saying, "Master, what a great move of the Demon Subduing Dragon Sword Technique!"
This sword technique is like a rainbow breaking through the clouds. Wherever it goes, the ground is shaken. So what even if Xue Ranran is a rookie who emerged from the marrow washing pool?
Mu Qingge began to lose ground after Kaiyuan Zhenren's sword pierced his left shoulder.
The old Taoist who has been practicing Dan for 200 years teaches the naughty girl how to behave in every minute!
Ran Ran also felt that Master Kai Yuan's sword energy was powerful, dozens of times stronger than that of his disciple Wei Fang.
But when she jumped up and dodged the fierce attack of Master Kaiyuan, she suddenly heard Su Yishui's secret message in her ears: "The soft spot of old dog Kaiyuan is the right side of his waist. Hit him there a few more times."
Su Yishui was familiar with the ways of several masters, and was even more aware of Kaiyuan Zhenren's shortcomings. He listened to Ran Ran's words and did not show up, so as not to be stimulated by them to have a murderous heart and lose control of the spiritual spring in his body. However, he secretly used the secret sound transmission to help his disciples cheat and gave them some convenient cheat sheets.
After hearing this, Ranran immediately had a goal.
She pulled out the mechanical stick with one hand, and circulated her true energy skillfully in the air, controlling the mechanical stick to continuously grow longer, while spinning in the air on its own, and then swung the stick towards Kaiyuan's waist.
This kind of skill of telekinesis can only be skillfully used by those who have reached the Dan stage for a hundred years. However, at such a young age, Ran Ran has already reached the level of being able to do whatever he wants.
This move immediately silenced the people around, and they all looked at this previously unknown little girl in surprise and suspicion.
Zhenren Kaiyuan was also shocked, and quickly mobilized his true energy to resist the flying, constantly extending and changing stick.
What shocked him the most was that this little girl seemed to know where his weak spot was and kept attacking his lower back with the stick.
The immortal quickly activated his Qi to protect his body. This Qi shield was impervious to swords and spears. Even if arrows flew through it, they could not hurt him at all.
However, wherever true Qi circulates, there are weak points. The lower back of Zhenren Kaiyuan's waist is where the true Qi is the weakest. If you concentrate your spiritual power to attack this place, you can break through it.
After dozens of moves, the nimble stick suddenly bounced out a long piece and stabbed Master Kaiyuan in the waist.
Immediately, Master Kaiyuan felt that his Qi could no longer be gathered, and he cried out in pain. Then the stick penetrated his body-protecting Qi again and hit his waist.
The back waist of Master Kaiyuan was seriously injured during the siege of Mu Qingge. A fragment of Mu Qingge's exploded magic weapon was embedded in it, so even after the injury healed, it left sequelae.
Now this little girl seems to know, and every move she makes hits directly at the vital point, making it difficult for the opponent to defend?
But Master Kaiyuan was no pushover. After realizing that his vital point had been discovered by Ranran, he suddenly reached for his waist.
At this moment, Ran Ran heard Su Yishui's voice: "He wants to use the magic weapon, the Heavenly Bell, you should retreat quickly and don't fight him anymore."
The Heavenly Sacrifice Bell was a magical instrument left behind by the powerful Shield Heaven.
Legend has it that in the past, Duntian was unable to pacify his inner demon, so he mined cold iron from the snowy mountains to refine a bell, which he hung above his head every day. When the inner demon arose and he could not meditate peacefully, the bell would ring continuously, emitting a chilling air to drive away the inner demon's irritability.
Although Ranran's skills have improved by leaps and bounds, she still has too little practical experience. If the cold air of the Heavenly Sacrifice Bell invades her body, she will definitely be hurt. That's why Su Yishui asked her to retreat quickly.
However, her active retreat gave Master Kaiyuan some room to maneuver.
He was aware that he had no confidence in this battle. Although he would not lose, he might win in an embarrassing way. So while the girl was retreating, he quickly said coldly, "You are just a young girl who has just entered the sect. If I kill you, it would make us look hard-hearted. Go back and tell your master that if you don't want to go astray, you'd better hand over the spiritual spring as soon as possible."
Ran Ran said sincerely, "Please rest assured, our Xishan Sect has always been at peace with the world. Now that the spiritual spring has not been sent back to the underworld, my master is afraid that it will deceive the world, and he has no magic weapon to seal it, so he can only use his body to seal it temporarily. Of course, if there are powerful people with profound skills and good character who can take on the important task of sealing the spiritual spring, my master is willing to let them do it and return this thankless task to you."
If Ran Ran had said this before fighting with Master Kai Yuan, he would have been ridiculed and scolded.
After Su Yishui handed over his Jindan to irrigate the Reincarnation Tree, what was he now? When he confronted Wei Yan on Mount Jue, he shamelessly admitted that he was no match for Wei Yan.
But now, a new female disciple of Su Yishui could actually fight against the leader of Jiuhua Sect without losing the upper hand, and even made the steady master scream like a pig being slaughtered. What a shocking strength!
So even though what she said just now sounded harsh and sarcastic, every word was the truth, which made it even more embarrassing.
When Mu Ranwu said before that Su Yishui had hidden the spiritual spring, they were still skeptical. But now the little girl said that Su Yishui was not controlled by the spiritual spring, but sealed the spiritual spring with his body. Such a hidden terrifying power shocked everyone.
At this time, someone else shouted, "Let's not talk about the lost horse for now, but your master caused a big disturbance in the palace and used an evil dragon to assassinate His Majesty. It is absolutely true that the palace was destroyed! If you didn't have evil intentions, why would you cause such a thing?"
Ran Ran didn't want to pay attention to these righteous people who were trying to frame Xishan based on rumors.
"The palace has been raising that dragon privately for more than ten years. I believe that fellow Taoists have familiar friends in the alien museum in the capital. If you ask around, you will know the truth. There is a high-ranking official in the palace who raises a dragon privately, and even uses humans to feed it, just trying to use the dragon's energy to prolong its life. However, the dragon's evil nature is difficult to control. Master was afraid that it would destroy the capital and kill all living things, so he sneaked into the palace and sent the dragon back to Dragon Island. If such a thing is also falsely attributed to us on the West Hill, you are either pretending to be stupid or you really have bad intentions."
At this point, Ran Ran put two fingers into his mouth and whistled loudly. A fiery red bird flew out from the distant forest. Ran Ran tapped his toes lightly, twisted his waist slightly, and gracefully jumped onto the back of the bird. Then he said meaningfully to everyone, especially Mu Ran Wu, "Practicing is not easy. You need to always keep your heart right. In the past two hundred years, only Yao Laoxian has ascended to heaven. Everyone else seems to be stuck at a certain point. If you let go of old grudges, be less competitive, and judge others rashly, maybe everyone's path to ascension will be smoother."
After saying this, the Vermilion Bird let out a long cry, swung its long tail in the air, and then flew away with Xue Ranran on its back...
Although many people have seen Ranran riding the exotic beast Suzaku at the foot of Tianmai Mountain, they were still mesmerized by the dazzling holy light of Suzaku when they saw it this time.
The Suzaku is different from other alien beasts. It is a holy creature and will not make a soul contract with humans. Only the purest soul can subdue it.
The fact that it was willing to be ridden by Xue Ranran was in itself proof of the girl's character.
If it was an evil creature, the Suzaku would rather turn into bloody mud and perish together with the others than allow itself to degenerate and be ridden by an evil person.
Xue Ranran rode away on the Vermillion Bird, and the sunset glow had not yet dissipated. Even if someone wanted to save face and call her a female devil, they were too short of breath to open their mouths.
At this moment, several disciples beside Mu Ranwu spoke up: "That little girl named Ranran is right, maybe we misunderstood..."
Before they could finish their words, Mu Ranwu sent them a stern look and said in a cold voice: "The appearance of the spiritual spring in the human world is a sign of chaos in the world. Su Yishui caused me so much trouble in his previous life. Could it be that he has been cured in just twenty years?"?
Kaiyuan Zhenren's waist was still in great pain, but he had been trying hard to maintain the dignity of the head of the sect. After hearing what Mu Ranwu said, he immediately said, "The Lingquan is a matter of great importance. We can't let a young girl make empty arguments. If what she said is true, the Lingquan is not suitable for Su Yishui to take care of it alone. We and the major sects need to supervise and monitor Su Yishui to send the Lingquan back to the underworld!"
However, each of the three major sects also has its own little tricks.
At this time, Wen Chunhui of the Kongshan Sect clasped his fists and said, "Everyone, the war between Daqi and Gaokan was originally destined in the mortal world. The incident of the horse being driven by the talisman this time is a warning. If the immortal cultivators get involved in these mundane affairs, they will inevitably disturb the destiny and bring about unexpected disasters. Now that the horse has been returned, the matter is over. We have many female disciples in the Kongshan Sect, and it is not appropriate for us to stay in the military camp for a long time. We will take our leave first."
After saying this, she flicked the ponytail in her hand to brush away the dust, and led the female disciples away without looking back.
The new elder Wen was no fool. She had been reluctant to come here in the first place, but she had to come here to show respect to Master Kaiyuan.
She was upset when Mu Ranwu poured all the dirty water on Wen Hongshan, who was about to die.
And what the little girl said before she left just now enlightened her.
Yes, the Kongshan Sect had produced so many powerful warriors in the past, but why did it end up with a decline in talent now?
If you think about it carefully, this trend seems to have been irreversible since the siege of Mu Qingge.
The rules of the Kongshan Sect have always been to be pure-hearted and aloof from worldly disputes. Unfortunately, the former head, Master Wen, and Wen Hongshan both went astray, causing their disciples to follow the Jiuhua Sect all day long, waving flags and shouting, doing some improper worldly affairs.
If the Lingquan incident was true, it would surely be another catastrophe. The Kongshan Sect's current financial resources were too meager, and the disciples were not yet capable, so they could not afford to suffer any more.
Since Master Kaiyuan has such a righteous look on his face, and Mu Qingge seems willing to sacrifice himself for the world, then let them save the world and save people.
She had to hurry back to Kongshan to refine more pills. If the world was in chaos, she would have to close the mountain gate more tightly. She couldn't follow Master Kaiyuan and rush around.
The elders of Feiyun Sect were not fools either. Among the three major sects, Feiyun Sect was the weakest. Seeing Kongshan Sect leave overnight, Feiyun Sect also called them back urgently, saying that the leader had something to do. After saying goodbye to Kaiyuan Zhenren who was holding his waist, they left in a hurry.
At this point, most of the powerful Righteous Alliance left at once, leaving only some small and insignificant sects looking at each other, silently thinking in their hearts how to leave in a dignified manner without offending Master Kaiyuan.
All of a sudden, the Jiuhua Sect's campaign to attack Xishan came to a halt.
Mu Qingge also knew that these leftover stuffings would not make good buns. She just elegantly asked Master Kaiyuan to come up with a plan and inform her, then she led her disciples to leave.
It was not appropriate for her to tell these disciples about her secret assistance to Gao Kan, so she was now living in Wuma Town temporarily.
I thought that the three major sects would lead the way, just like in the previous life, and attract everyone to attack Xishan. But I never expected that Xue Ranran would actually retrieve the horses that had escaped, and even gain the upper hand in the fight with Kaiyuan Zhenren.
In the world of cultivation, besides the names of good and evil, one must also rely on strength to speak. Now Xishan's little apprentice Xue Ranran has shown his skills, which is enough to shock everyone.
With such a capable disciple, the power of the master, who has been imbued with spiritual power, is unimaginable!
Therefore, vanquishing demons and monsters is certainly the righteous way of the world, but after someone has demonstrated such a huge disparity in strength, it would be foolish to rush forward without caring about anything else.
Almost no one is willing to be a fool now. Mu Ranwu's busyness is obviously in vain.
Thinking that Gao Kan had captured so many soldiers this time, it would be difficult to explain to King Yiling. Mu Ranwu was so angry that she took another deep breath.
