Conspiracy and Cooperation
"Qianluo, this is Dean Changyi."
Next to Ye Qingying was a tall, fair-skinned and delicate female cultivator, wearing a wide blue Taoist robe and a wooden hairpin to hold her hair in place. She looked simple and plain, with a look of compassion and peace in her eyes.
When she didn't speak, she really looked like a Taoist priest in a Taoist temple.
There is just a red mole at the end of her right eyebrow, which makes her originally beautiful facial features look weird, giving her an indescribable feeling.
"Hello, I'm Qianluo, sorry to bother you."
The dean smiled faintly, as if seeing through everything. "Senior, no need to be so polite. I am a Jindan cultivator, one level lower than you. I know everything. You guys are going to deal with Chu Lianxi of the Taiyin Group. I have a large formation passed down by a Yuanying cultivator here, which can hold off for a while."
"But I heard you say we need to find a teleportation array?" She sighed. "I'm afraid that's useless. Not to mention that the array is so old and in disrepair, just a few years ago, the Upper Three Districts severed all teleportation arrays and set up a dragnet to trap the cultivators. If I had a formation, I would have escaped long ago."
Several people showed understanding on their faces. Although they had known it for a long time, they still felt lost.
Does that mean they will have no choice but to surrender and be slaughtered when Wu Xingxue attacks them?
"Dean, the older brothers and sisters are all good people." A girl tugged at the dean's Taoist robe with an innocent look on her face. "Didn't you say there was an old locust tree in the backyard that could keep us safe?"
The dean hesitated: "This..."
A group of monks couldn't sit still anymore: "Dean, what's going on?"
"If you have something good, bring it out! We're all in this together!"
"Saving us is also saving your welfare home!"
Jiang Chanyi and Qian Luo looked at each other and both raised their eyebrows. The dean was unwilling to reveal it. Was there some hidden secret?
"It's not that I'm unwilling, but the thing in the old locust tree is the core of the formation. If it is taken out, the welfare home will have no defense formation." The director explained, and the red mole at the end of his eyebrow jumped slightly.
"This..." Several monks were also hesitant.
Jiang Chanyi: "What exactly is this thing? Can it save us if you take it out?"
The dean sighed and said, "It's actually not that difficult, because this is a drop of Xuantian Qinglu that can quickly improve your cultivation. It contains countless spiritual powers, which can ensure the smooth operation of the formation."
When the monk heard this, his eyes lit up: "If you take it, you might become a god!"
They were excited: "If I become a god, then I won't have to worry about Chu Lianxi and Wu Xingxue anymore, let alone a broken venerable! Wouldn't I be invincible and sweep across all nine districts!"
Upon hearing this, the dean shook his head and said, "It's not that powerful. It can only help cultivators advance a small level. I think most of you are in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, and after taking it, you can reach the late stage of the Nascent Soul."
"The late Nascent Soul stage is enough! Wu Xingxue is only in the late Nascent Soul stage! He will definitely win!"
"This drop of Xuantian Qinglu is useless for you to keep! Dean, please give it to us!"
"Once we reach the late Nascent Soul stage, we won't need the protection of formations anymore!"
"Yes, once we kill Chu Lianxi and Wu Xingxue, we will immediately send you out of the upper three districts!"
Qian Luo frowned as she heard this. These people only cared about snatching treasures. She felt strange. Someone offered her a pillow just when she was dozing off. This dean... felt a bit strange.
Xuantian Qinglu...is not necessarily a good thing.
Jiang Chanyi agreed with Qian Luo's idea very much. Qian Ruixue didn't like the dean. She felt a sense of resistance when they met. She looked calm and not panicked. Both compassion and sarcasm were written on her face.
"This person...cannot be trusted."
The three of them stayed away from the incident and returned upstairs.
…
After a while, the other cultivators were not in a good mood towards Qianluo and the other two. It turned out that they all knew that Qianluo was unwilling to use Xuantian Qinglu, and Ye Qingying also rejected their request.
"After all, it's a treasure passed down from the dean's family. We can't... Besides, the few of us are more than enough to deal with Chu Lianxi."
The other cultivators couldn't understand why anyone would refuse a treasure. It was a treasure that could boost their cultivation! If any of them obtained it, they would be able to leap forward and become the first person below the Divine Transformation Realm!
Qianluo stood upstairs, taking in everyone's thoughts. She turned back to look at Jiang Chanyi and said, "The treasure is so moving."
Jiang Chanyi rubbed his shoulders and lay down. "This group of people are so greedy that they want to swallow an elephant. They haven't even defeated Chu Lianxi yet, but they're already fighting among themselves."
"You want to get involved in this too?" She crossed her legs and looked at her friend who particularly liked to meddle in other people's affairs.
Qian Luo shook her head. She didn't have the time right now, so she just let them do whatever they wanted.
Let's wait and see.
Sure enough, one day, the formation failed and Xuantian Qinglu disappeared. Some of the children were frightened and huddled together pitifully. Some of them held low-level swords and pointed at Ye Qingying's nose and cursed: "Thief! You thieves!"
"Who are you little brats scolding?"
"We are Nascent Soul cultivators. Killing you is easy. Don't push us too far!"
"We don't do petty thefts. You should look for whoever stole it!"
The scene was in chaos and confusion.
Finally, the dean came out, bent over, with a look of panic on his face: "Xuantian Qinglu, we don't want it. I hope the seniors will not make things difficult for the children. They are all pitiful people."
Tears welled up in her eyes and her expression was compassionate and kind. The children surrounded her and shouted like a group of chirping little swallows, waiting for their mother's protection.
This scene was indeed too ugly.
Ye Qingying couldn't get a word in. They were just people who met on the road, and their relationship wasn't deep. She talked until her lips were broken, but it was all in vain. Whoever took it, no one would return it.
Her eyes were filled with disappointment. Just a bunch of people like this, and they wanted to kill Chu Lianxi and Wu Xingxue? It was a good thing that they didn't backstab their teammates.
It was as if she had seen the true faces of these people in advance.
She couldn't stay in this place anymore, so she simply said goodbye to Dean Qianluo and left.
The dean looked at the other person's departing figure and sighed, "Alas, if I had Senior Ye's cultivation, I would also want to leave. But unfortunately, there are still children here. If I leave, there will be no one to protect them."
"Now that I have no formation and no Xuantian Qinglu, what should I do?"
…
A month passed, and someone broke through and became a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage. He looked down on others all day long, and calculated that the time had come. He was alone with his magic treasure, ready to fight Chu Lianxi.
"Mu Feng, can we really defeat Chu Lianxi?"
"Of course, I am now a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage, and we are not weak. We can kill him by surprise!"
Mu Feng was a cultivator with an anxious temperament. Everyone knew that it was him who took the Xuantian Qinglu, but no one dared to stand up and say anything. He was already the person with the highest cultivation level here, so naturally no one dared to question him.
"Let's go!"
The group flew towards the horizon in a mighty manner. The morning glow was brilliant and dazzling. Qian Luo and the other two followed closely behind. Looking at Mu Feng's confident look, they were happy not to be the first to stand out.
…
Chu Lianxi and his group were looking for the whereabouts of the experimental subjects when they heard a powerful pressure coming from afar and were suddenly startled!
"A cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage? There are also quite a few cultivators in the middle and early stages of the Nascent Soul stage?"
Although he brought a Nascent Soul Corps, but encountered a late Nascent Soul...
"Deploy the formation!" Chu Lianxi's face darkened as he quickly issued the order. The Nascent Soul cultivators and several robots accompanying him quickly entered combat mode, closing their eyes and concentrating. A quick scan with their spiritual sense revealed the incoming party.
"Chu Lianxi, prepare to die!"
"We have been imprisoned by you for many years, without seeing the light of day. Today we can finally take revenge!"
The Nascent Soul cultivators headed by Mu Feng all scowled coldly, with different lights in their hands, emitting huge beams of light, like lightning, rushing straight towards Chu Lianxi.
"Idiot! You're looking for death!"
Chu Lianxi pulled the bell from his waist and threw it out. The bell grew from small to large, expanding a hundred times, making a crisp sound that surrounded his ears.
Mu Feng sneered: "It's just a sound cultivation method. We have already closed our five senses! Even if it's a soul attack, we have a way to deal with it!"
Upon hearing this, Chu Lianxi's expression turned ruthless. With a flick of his finger, the bells in the air shattered silently, transforming into tiny specks of starlight that fell on the cultivators. "You are courting your own death."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Feng, who was fighting with the monk, suddenly felt his body lighten, as if something was flowing away.
His mind raced, and he cried out, "Oh no! You actually have the Soul-Extinguishing Powder that can be used against Nascent Soul cultivators!"
Ordinary Jueling Powder can only be used against cultivators in the Qi Condensation Stage, and very few Jueling Powder can be used against cultivators in the Nascent Soul Stage. A cultivator in the Nascent Soul Stage can call the wind and rain, and the spiritual power in his body is like the vast ocean, which cannot be dispersed easily.
"It's just some high-end stuff. You country people just haven't seen it." The young man with beautiful eyebrows and eyes smiled and hooked his eyes, which seemed to suck people's souls in.
"Here it comes again, the soul-stealing technique!" Mu Feng closed his eyes hurriedly. Why did Chu Lianxi only learn some skills to attack the soul? His head was splitting with pain. In addition, with the power of the advanced version of Juelingsan, Mu Feng held his breath. He was a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage and had never had a fair fight. This was not the time to embarrass himself!
A golden spike spear appeared in Mu Feng's right hand and he threw it out. The power was so great that it could split the sky and the earth, forcing Chu Lianxi to retreat repeatedly and stretch out his hand to block it. Behind him, the monks from both sides were fighting each other.
Once this gun was fired, the situation of the battle changed.
"A nice gun." Chu Lianxi narrowed his eyes and his gaze fell on the shining golden spear. A golden dragon was faintly emerging. It could be said to be a treasure among treasures.
These idiots have something like this?
You have to live to enjoy it!
The boy's face flushed, his breathing was rapid, his eyes were red, and he was determined to win. The silver ornaments on his body clanged, and he took off into the air, summoning the Gu worms: "Go, children!"
Countless poisonous insects broke out of the ground, from top to bottom, from inside to outside, and wherever they went, they emitted a strong strange smell. Some poisonous insects devoured the flesh and blood of monks and grew several times larger, and their cultivation level doubled!
"Ahhh! This bug eats people!"
"Brother Mu Feng, we..." Someone wanted to escape, his legs trembling with fear, and he kept backing away, but the insects still entangled him.
Mu Feng hated disgusting insects the most. He swung out his spear, and with a righteous spirit, he cleansed the poison from the insects. He shouted, "I will definitely protect you all. Please protect me and kill Chu Lianxi!"
With a "bang", the golden light shines and all the poisonous insects are destroyed!
Everyone felt their hearts shaken, as if they had experienced some kind of baptism.
Most of the poisonous insects were killed and turned into ashes floating in the air. The escaping Nascent Soul cultivators felt that they had hope of winning again. They stared at the storage bags of the cultivators behind Chu Lianxi, their eyes full of greed. With so many storage bags, one bag for each of them should be enough to share.
"Okay, Senior, we will protect you!"
If it is profitable, everyone will naturally help.
Chu Lianxi's mood worsened when he saw the Gu worm destroyed. However, the Gu worm was connected to him by blood; he was the Gu worm, and the Gu worm was him. He had already reached the end of his strength, spitting blood, and his soul was nearly broken. He touched the bottom of his neck, which had already begun to rot and emitted a foul smell.
"Mu Feng! You actually destroyed my body. This is unforgivable!"
“Ahhhh!”
The monks only saw Chu Lianxi's clothes burst, revealing not an ordinary human body, but a dense swarm of insects wriggling under his neck! Their mouths opened, demanding food, which was black, slippery and disgusting.
Many Yuanying cultivators vomited: "I heard before that he was killed and resurrected from the dead. It turns out it was because of the poisonous insect!"
"Ugh, a head like this and a body like this... it's really..."
With a gorgeous face, a disgusting body, a crazy look, and a mad smile, Chu Lianxi now wanted to kill Mu Feng so much that he would not listen to the advice of the monk next to him.
He stretched out his hand and let the poisonous insect eat a Nascent Soul cultivator alive to increase his power.
"Is this still a human being? He doesn't even let his own people go?" Jiang Chanyi sighed. She and Qian Luo were just paddling behind, waiting for Mu Feng to make a move and kill Chu Lianxi. Who could have thought that Chu Lianxi was so perverted!
"The spear in Mu Feng's hand is extremely powerful and can deal with Chu Lianxi." Qian Luo continued to protect Mu Feng, waiting for Mu Feng to make the final blow.
Qian Ruixue was doing the same thing silently.
…
The dark clouds were like a mountain pressing down on one's head, weighing more than a thousand pounds, so majestic that it was hard to breathe.
Only the golden spear lit up the dark sky, holding up a ray of light.
"Golden Dragon is in full swing, go!"
Mu Feng's final blow appeared! Qian Luo looked intently and saw that the golden lightning-like light fell on Chu Lianxi, burning the poisonous insects on his body and making them fall down with a crackling sound. The air was filled with a burning smell.
"No, no! My Gu! My body!"
"What are you still standing there for! Come and help me!"
Chu Lianxi cursed loudly, but no fellow cultivators came forward. They were all vomiting blood under the pressure of the golden light, their minds were in turmoil. If they stayed any longer, they might...
"Chu Lianxi, surrender!" Mu Feng was like a victorious general, brimming with pride. He had acquired his prized spear with great difficulty, and how could a mere Chu Lianxi dare to look down on him?
"Don't even think about it!" Chu Lianxi gritted his teeth, raised his knife and cut off an arm. The poisonous insect fell to the ground and the ashes scattered.
"I, Chu Lianxi, have lived with insects for many years. What's a mere arm?"
His vicious eyes stared straight at Mu Feng, like a ghost from hell, as if he wanted to devour and bite him, eating up his bloody flesh piece by piece!
"Ahhh, I still have a chance!" He laughed crazily, and then suddenly stopped as if he had made some decision.
"The Gu God has returned!"
Mu Feng shouted: "Protect me, my spiritual power is not enough to support it..."
Before he could finish his words, a female cultivator appeared before him with a determined look on her face and threw him behind her.
Qian Luo secretly cried out in disbelief. In one hand, she held the Tongtian Snow Tower, and in the other, the Dragon Roaring Phoenix Sword. With such a powerful aura that it was impossible to look directly at, she chopped off half of Chu Lianxi's body with lightning speed. The body, covered in Gu insects, collapsed with a bang, and a dense swarm of insects fell from the sky, like a black rain.
His head split in two, his gorgeous face filled with resentment. His Nascent Soul emerged from it, and just as it was about to escape, it was chopped down by Qianluo's sword again.
The solemn and murderous intention can shake the heaven and earth.
Everyone saw what a sword it was, extremely beautiful and extremely dangerous.
Is this really the sword technique that a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul can use?
It’s not that Qianluo was unwilling to take action before, but someone was willing to be the first to take action so that she could reap the benefits, but in the end she still had to finish the job.
Qian Luo didn't care what they thought, she wanted Chu Lianxi's storage bag, as she was running out of simulator points.
"Thank you..." Mu Feng was about to say a few words when his vision went dark, his spiritual power was completely lost, and he fell to the ground.
Qian Ruixue kicked the man into the pile of monks at the back, set up an attack formation, and wiped out the remaining monks.
"Swish, swish--" Ten thousand swords came out at the same time, with unstoppable force.
"Ahhhhhh!" Countless monks wailed.
Chu Lianxi and his gang were all dealt with.
Qian Luo weighed the storage bag, gave a few to the helping cultivators, and then picked a few from Chu Lianxi's storage bag to give to Mu Feng. The three of them quickly left the place.
