Shi Liuchuan's goal was not to defeat Shi Changqing and Su Muxianzi, but simply to stall them as much as possible to buy time.
Therefore, his methods in battle were particularly varied, making the people from the Divine Origin Sect and the Profound Light Sect feel extremely frustrated.
"As expected of a bastard, a bastard is a bastard. If you have the guts, face us head-on!" someone couldn't help but start cursing, using extremely impolite language.
Shi Liuchuan remained coldly watching, completely unmoved by their schemes. These people's methods were unchanged for millennia, offering nothing new.
However, a cultivator from the far west couldn't help but feel angry: "You call yourselves disciples of a major sect? It's one thing to be weaker than others, but your mouths and hearts are so filthy. Don't worry, you won't be so arrogant for long."
"I advise you people to leave these two sects as soon as possible, or you'll regret it later."
"Clever words and a flattering demeanor." Fairy Su Mu didn't want to continue the stalemate any longer. Seeing that she couldn't break through in the short term, she used her last trump card.
Her master is the renowned Fairy Qingxiang, who possesses the bloodline of the Medicine God and is currently the most powerful alchemist in the cultivation world, holding a lofty position.
What the world doesn't know is that Fairy Qingxiang is skilled at refining elixirs and equally skilled at making poisons. However, using poison in battles is not honorable, so after gaining fame, she rarely uses such methods anymore.
As Qingxiang Fairy's personal disciple, Su Mu Fairy, although she did not learn all of her master's skills, should not be underestimated. Moreover, as her only personal disciple, Qingxiang Fairy would not leave her without a trump card to protect her life.
Therefore, without any warning, Fairy Su Mu used poison, catching even the people of Shenyuan Sect and Xuanguang Sect completely off guard.
Master Qing and Elder Ying's expressions changed, and they quickly left, but the other elders and disciples were not so lucky.
"Ah!" A disciple looked at her in horror, never understanding why she would even harm her own people until her death.
"Save me!" A disciple crawled toward her, pleading bitterly, "Fairy, give me the antidote."
Shi Tianning was extremely shocked by this scene and suffered a great blow. However, what shocked him and Fairy Su Mu even more was yet to come: Shi Liuchuan, who was at the center of the poison release, and the cultivators in the far west were completely unaffected!
"This is impossible!" Fairy Su Mu was almost going crazy. How could the poison that her master personally refined be useless?
"Senior Song was truly prescient," said a cultivator with a lightning-based spiritual root from the far west, still shaken by the experience. Fortunately, he had consumed many spiritual pills given to him by Senior Song on his way here.
"Tsk tsk, even harming their own people, who would believe they're not villains? And this is supposed to be the mother of a savior?"
"Thank you, Fairy Su Mu. You've saved us a lot of trouble."
The people from the Divine Origin Sect and the Profound Light Sect are already looking at Fairy Su Mu with suspicious eyes. Couldn't you have at least said something or given a hint before releasing the poison? Don't their lives matter?
Looking at Shi Tianning, who was unharmed even though he was at the center of the poison release, it was clear that Fairy Su Mu must have given him the antidote beforehand. What, were they not worthy? Or was Fairy Su Mu trying to take this opportunity to monopolize power?
"How are you all alright?" Fairy Su Mu asked, her voice hoarse with anguish. This time, releasing the poison wasn't as simple as just throwing it out; she herself had paid a heavy price. To ensure her son's safety, she had given him all the remaining antidote. Although she had used medicinal baths to enhance her resistance to poison since childhood, she was the one closest to the poison when it was released, and she also had to use her spiritual power to ensure that Shi Liuchuan and the others could come into contact with it. Therefore, the damage to herself was also very great.
This was already one of her trump cards, but Shi Liuchuan and the cultivators from the far west were still unharmed, which was a huge blow to her.
She considered a possibility and asked in a sharp voice, "Ancient inheritance! Just how much did you obtain from the ancient inheritance?"
Shi Liuchuan didn't explain, he just watched her go crazy and then attacked swiftly. He enjoyed watching her go from her former high and mighty attitude to her current madness like a crazy woman. It made him feel really good.
Shi Tianning was filled with complex emotions and struggled deeply. This time, he could no longer deceive himself. Were the actions of the two sects truly beneficial to the cultivation world? And what about his mother? They were all fellow disciples; why did they disregard everyone's safety?
Is it really true that anyone can be sacrificed for themselves and their sister?
And just now, when he fought Shi Liuchuan, he was no match for him! He could even sense that Shi Liuchuan hadn't used his full strength against him.
You should know that when he was in the Golden Core stage, Shi Liuchuan was just a low-level Qi Refining stage cultivator who couldn't advance to the Foundation Establishment stage. How did Shi Liuchuan break through so quickly in just a few years?
It's laughable that he mocked Shi Liuchuan for not working hard enough back then. Now it seems that it was the Divine Origin Sect that was restricting Shi Liuchuan's talent all along!
He could even sense that his true dragon bloodline was not as pure and domineering as Shi Liuchuan's.
So is he really the savior? Or is it as these cultivators from the far west say, that he and his sister stole Shi Liuchuan and Shi Shuangzhi's identities?
Because of his self-doubt, Shi Tianning's swordplay became increasingly shaky. He was even able to defeat a cultivator who was a level lower than him and whom he had never heard of before.
When did he become so weak?
In fact, it's not just him who is weak; the strength of all the cultivators in the Divine Origin Sect and the Profound Light Sect is not commensurate with their cultivation level. The two sects have been immersed in their invincible "honor" for too long, so they don't take the cultivators outside the sect seriously at all, and they are extremely perfunctory when they fight each other.
These cultivators from the far west were either driven to desperation by the two sects or born into poverty and had to struggle to find cultivation resources. Both types of cultivators had experienced life-and-death trials, so their courage and perseverance were beyond question. These pampered people could not easily contend with them.
Therefore, although the people brought by Master Liuchuan were generally less skilled than those from the two sects, they were just as good as each other in actual combat, and even became more ferocious as the battle progressed.
"Insidious brat, you've gone too far!" Seeing the situation turn against them, Elder Ying and the others had no choice but to reveal their trump cards.
Shi Liuchuan wisely retreated: "Everyone be careful, let's go!"
Black banners fluttered in the sky, and sandstorms raged, but Shi Liuchuan and the others had long since disappeared.
"Don't chase them, saving lives is the priority." Shi Changqing was, after all, the heir of the Shenyuan Sect. Although his cultivation level was lower, he was still quite clear-headed.
"Stop messing around." He warned Fairy Su Mu, "We haven't even faced Song Xia and the others head-on yet. Our two sects can't afford any more trouble. If you release poison without warning again, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Fairy Su Mu coldly stared at him: "Did you make your move? By the time you made your decision, Tian Kui would have been dead long ago! Master Changqing, you have no right to criticize me. Anyone can be sacrificed, but Tian Ning and Tian Kui cannot!"
Seeing that she remained unrepentant, the surviving disciples of the two sects couldn't help but harbor resentment towards her.
