Chapter 122 You can’t have both
When Wan Zhen saw the group of casual cultivators rushing in, even though he was at the ninth level of Qi training, his scalp tingled. There were more than a dozen of them, too many!
He secretly regretted that he should have stayed in the basement.
The basement was cramped and stuffy, but he could endure it. However, Wan Yingying could not.
When it got dark, Wan Yingying couldn't help but go to the toilet.
Wan Zhen could only peek outside through the Mandarin Duck Mirror and found that there was no change in the yard.
He couldn't help but feel hopeful and brought Wan Yingying out of the basement.
As soon as the two entered the room, the wandering cultivators outside rushed in and blocked them.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Wan Zhen hurriedly pulled his daughter behind him and shouted at the other party to back out.
As a result, the opponent rushed faster. Wan Zhen was shocked and angry and hurriedly activated the Thousand Leaf Shield.
The Thousand Leaf Shield is a defensive magic weapon he forged with black iron and purple gold stone. It usually looks like a thick arm guard, and it can stimulate the black leaves like leaves to unfold into a shield.
As soon as the tall Thousand-Leaf Shield was unfolded, a group of casual cultivators cast spells and cast thousands of troops.
This group of wandering cultivators came here and killed countless people along the way. Each of them held a few low-level talismans in their hands.
They were all very cunning, and would directly use magic talismans to attack anyone they met. This move was also very useful, and they could easily kill the opponent every time they attacked.
After the casual cultivators discovered the Ten Thousand Formations, they used the same old tricks and activated the talismans together without saying a word.
Various low-level spells such as flaming bombs, ice arrows, Gengjin sword light, thick earth hammer, etc., with colorful magic auras, bombarded the Qianye Shield.
The Qianye Shield was a magical instrument carefully refined by Wanzhen, of first-class quality. It had been refined for many years and was very easy to use.
Wan Zhen felt numb as he watched so many spells rain down. His daughter was behind him, so there was nowhere to hide.
He could only grit his teeth and use all his strength to activate the Thousand Leaf Shield to resist these spells.
Firelight, cold light, and sword light fell on the Qianye Shield, shattering and exploding one after another.
More than ten kinds of low-level spells were all blocked by the Qianye Shield. However, the scattered spell flames blasted the tables and chairs in the room to pieces.
For a moment, debris was flying everywhere, dust was stirring, and the roof was shaking.
Wan Zhen groaned inwardly. Although the spells cast by the opponent were all low-level, he would definitely not be able to withstand the bombardment of magic talismans one after another.
If his daughter was not by his side, he could still hold up the Chiba Shield and find an opportunity to break through.
Wan Zhen looked back at his daughter. Although Wan Yingying was biting her lips tightly and her face looked a little nervous, she was not at all panicked.
Wan Zhen was very pleased that his daughter was smart and courageous, and was very spiritual in her practice. She would definitely achieve something in the future.
But they are afraid that they, father and daughter, may not be able to get through this hurdle!
When the casual cultivators on the opposite side failed to hit him with their first attack, they would activate the magic talisman again without hesitation.
The speeds at which the many independent cultivators activated their magic talismans varied, so naturally they formed waves of attacks.
The raging fire turned into missiles, and ice cones were like arrows, falling towards the formation again.
Wan Zhen's cultivation was far superior to that of many independent cultivators, but now he could only passively take the beating while holding up the Thousand Leaf Shield.
Many low-level spells were cast, and although they failed to break the Thousand Leaf Shield, a few flame bombs set the furniture in the room on fire.
The fire raged fiercely, and the flames soon reached the roof.
It was too cold in Pegasus, so in order to keep out the cold, a lot of hay was laid under the tiles.
As the flames ignited, thick smoke soon rose from the roof.
Wan Zhen was trapped in the house by the crowd. He had nowhere to run, and the house was on fire and smoking.
He could bear it for a short time, but Wan Yingying couldn't stand the smoke and fire.
There was nowhere to escape, and they couldn't win the battle. Wan Zhen couldn't help but feel a little desperate. Are they going to die here this time? ! The group of casual cultivators outside were very excited, and the leading casual cultivator shouted, "This guy can't run away, everyone, work harder to kill him!"
Wan Zhen in the room was about to go out and fight, when he saw several cold rays of light flying towards him in strange arcs from outside the wall.
The group of casual cultivators could not see the shining cold light, but they could hear the sharp whistle brought by the cold light.
Many independent cultivators were greatly shocked. Some dodged sideways, while others turned their wooden shields to protect themselves.
The casual cultivators reacted quickly, but the cold light shooting out was even faster.
Before the cultivators could react, cold rays of light had already pierced through their heads quickly and accurately, causing blood flowers to explode.
The eight casual cultivators' bodies shook violently, and all their movements and expressions stopped in an instant.
Their bodies shook, and they fell to the ground one after another, without any breath left.
Wan Zhen was a ninth-level Qi training expert. Although it was dark outside, he could still clearly see that what pierced everyone's heads were crystal ice cones.
He couldn't help but be shocked. Who was using this ice arrow technique? It was so powerful and accurate that it instantly eliminated all the wandering cultivators.
What was even more terrifying was that he hadn't even seen the cultivator who had used the Ice Arrow Technique. Could the other party be a great cultivator who had established his foundation? Only a great cultivator who had established his foundation could have such power! Facing a group of casual cultivators, he could still fight to the death, but facing a great cultivator who had established his foundation, he and his daughter would have no choice but to let him be slaughtered...
The more Wan Zhen thought about it, the more scared he became. He stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do.
Gao Xian saw Wan Zhen standing there motionless. He didn't know what happened to him. Was he injured or frightened? Or what happened? On the other hand, since he had saved someone, he had to show his face. At least Wan Zhen would know who his savior was! Gao Xian jumped over the wall and came to the yard. He waved to Wan Zhen, who was in a daze in the room, and signaled him to come out quickly.
When Wan Zhen saw that there was one more person in the yard, his heart tightened again.
Then I saw the other person wearing a black robe with a layer of clear water light on the outside and an even clearer light covering his face, so his features couldn't be seen clearly.
But that calm and mysterious demeanor made him appear extraordinary.
However, the way the other party waved didn't seem to have any malicious intent.
There was no time to think about it now, Wan Zhen hurriedly ran out of the room with Wan Yingying.
Wan Zhen was a smart man. Without waiting for Gao Xian to speak, he immediately clasped his fists and bowed deeply, "Thank you, senior, for saving my father and daughter's lives."
Gao Xian was speechless. He had already warned Wan Zhen last night, but this man was not careful at all and was almost killed by a group of wandering cultivators.
He actually didn't want to be in the spotlight. If it was just Wan Zhen alone, he wouldn't want to get involved in this matter.
After all, Wan Yingying is here.
Caring for young lives is probably the bottom line for a normal person. Gao Xian couldn't bear to see the little girl get into trouble, so he helped them.
Pegasus is in such a mess now that Gao Xian doesn't know what to do with this father and daughter.
When he was hesitating, Wan Yingying stared at him with wide eyes and called out tentatively, "Brother Gao Xian?"
Gao Xian was a little surprised. He was wearing a shadowless robe on the outside and a green lotus crown on the inside, which emitted a clear light like gauze. He was also wearing a black water robe and was holding a green lotus sword.
Wan Zhen couldn't recognize him in this outfit, so how did this seven-year-old girl recognize him?
Wan Yingying was very smart. She just thought that this person looked very much like Gao Xian, so she called out tentatively.
Although Gao Xian didn't react, she sensed the subtle change in his mood, which allowed her to immediately identify Gao Xian.
She said with surprise: "Brother Gao Xian, it's really you!"
Wan Zhen looked puzzled. He was about to scold his daughter and tell her not to talk nonsense.
Then the clear light on the face of the master opposite faded away, revealing the handsome young face of Gao Xian.
Wan Zhen stared at Gao Xian somewhat rudely, his face full of disbelief and shock.
He really couldn't believe that the young alchemist who usually spoke in a gentle and polite manner, a cultivator at the fifth level of Qi training, actually had such a powerful spell! "Fellow Daoist Wan, Yingying, I didn't mean to hide my identity."
Gao Xian smiled at Wan Zhen and Wan Yingying. To be honest, he quite enjoyed Wan Zhen's shocked expression.
It's so cool to show off in front of others. But it's even cooler to show off in front of acquaintances.
Gao Xian is a vulgar man, and he feels a little awkward when his identity is accidentally exposed, but it feels so good to pretend to be like this.
He sighed in his heart: "You can't have both being low-key and being pretentious!"
Wan Zhen still couldn't believe it. He stuttered and asked, "Fellow Daoist Gao, was it you who cast the Ice Arrow Technique just now?"
He knew it was impolite to ask, but he couldn't help but want to get it clear.
Wan Yingying stared at Gao Xian with big eyes, her face full of excitement. She had always liked this brother Gao Xian.
Today, at the critical moment, Brother Gao Xian appeared out of nowhere and left an extremely deep impression in her heart.
Although the little girl is smart, her mind is very simple. Brother Gao Xian saved her and her father, so he is the best man in the world!
At this moment, she was so excited that she looked at Gao Xian with her big eyes shining, and she didn't notice that her father was questioning Gao Xian.
"In fact, it is the power borrowed from a special magical weapon."
Gao Xian explained lightly, and then said, "A few great foundation-building monks from the Seven Evils Sect have arrived, and Pegasus Gathering is over. Fellow Daoist Wan should leave Pegasus Gathering as soon as possible."
Wan Zhen was even more shocked, the Seven Evils Sect's great foundation-building cultivators had all taken action!
If that were the case, there would be no safe place in Pegasus. The basement he dug could be used to hide for two or three days, but it would not work for a long time.
He suddenly realized that the piece of wood at the head of the bed was left by Gao Xian. He said to Gao Xian with some excitement: "Daoyou Gao warned me last night, but I didn't take it seriously. Alas, it's all my fault."
Gao Xian was speechless. This guy was quite clear-headed, but he had no rules at all. If he hadn't been there, the father and daughter would have been in trouble.
Wan Zhen said to Gao Xian with an embarrassed look on his face: "Fellow Daoist Gao, the Pegasus Group is in such a mess, I don't know where is safe?"
Gao Xian thought for a moment and said, "Since you have nowhere to go, follow me."
He has also been observing this father and daughter for several months. At least Wan Zhen's identity is correct and he seems to be a decent person.
For Wan Yingying's sake, I will help her to the end.
Hearing Gao Xian say this, Wan Zhen couldn't help but be overjoyed. He bowed again and said, "Thank you, fellow Taoist."
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
Wan Yingying also bowed in a proper manner, and said in a delicate voice, "Thank you, Brother Gao Xian!"
"Friend Wan, there is no need to do this. We are all neighbors and we should help each other."
Gao Xian said a polite word and returned a half greeting. He then touched Yingying's little head affectionately. The little girl looked so cute with her serious expression.
"Pegasus is too chaotic. We should leave quickly. If you have anything else to pack, please pack it up as soon as possible."
“Yes, yes.”
Wan Zhen shook his head repeatedly, "Don't worry about your belongings."
He placed some important items in the basement, and the other furniture and gifts were not valuable, so there was no need to pack them up.
Wan Yingying on the side turned her gaze and said, "Brother Gao Xian, these people have spiritual stones, magic talismans and other things on them. I will help you collect them."
Gao Xian was a little surprised. Wan Yingying knew this at such a young age?
Looking at Wan Yingying again, she didn't care about the tragic corpse at all. She searched and picked up the corpse skillfully. I don't know how many times she has done this...
Wan Zhen also came to his senses, and he hurried over to help, "Yes, yes, these can't be wasted."
Gao Xian actually wanted to search the place a long time ago, but he had just rescued someone and was putting on airs as a master, so he was too embarrassed to search the body.
Seeing how skilled Wan Zhen and his daughter were, he couldn't be so cautious anymore.
The few casual cultivators didn't have much good stuff, just some spirit stones, talismans, and less than two magical weapons.
Wan Zhen and his daughter gave all their harvest to Gao Xian, who accepted them without hesitation.
There's nothing to be polite about.
After dealing with these things, Gao Xian took Wan Zhen and his daughter westward.
Feimaji is surrounded by mountains on all sides. Qingxia Peak is to the north of Feimaji, and the Qisha Sect and Chiyan Sect are also to the north.
When Gao Xian and his team chose a location, they picked the westernmost part of Pegasus.
So the south was not chosen because Lianyun Sect might come from this direction. If they really wanted to take action, neither the north nor the south would be safe.
Gao Xian has a magic mirror for detecting flowers, which can detect other practitioners in advance regardless of various obstacles.
It was easy to avoid the living, but it was hard to avoid the corpses. There were corpses lying on almost every road, with miserable deaths, and many of them had been stripped of all their clothes.
This scene also made Gao Xian feel a little depressed. The people who died were not necessarily good people. It was just such a bloody and cruel scene that still made people feel very uncomfortable.
Wan Zhen held Wan Yingying in his arms and followed Gao Xian carefully. Although he was a bit talkative, he was not in the mood to talk at this moment. Although Wan Yingying was brave, she did not dare to speak nonsense at this moment.
Although she couldn't see clearly, she could roughly see the corpses around her. The blood and death made her feel very depressed.
At this time, she would go to see Gao Xian. Somehow, she always felt that Gao Xian seemed to glow, and she felt very at ease when she saw Gao Xian.
Gao Xian ignored the little girl's gaze. He focused on leading the way, and the three of them had a very smooth journey.
When Gao Xian arrived at the place, he found that the house had collapsed. He didn't know whether it was pushed down by Zhu Qiniang or destroyed by a casual cultivator.
At this time, all the independent cultivators were gathering towards the central area of Pegasus, and this marginal area seemed unusually quiet.
Gao Xian saw that there was no one around, so he didn't take the tunnel. Instead, he took Wan Zhen and his daughter directly to a hillside.
Wan Yingying was looking around curiously when she saw a bush suddenly move away and Zhu Qinnan and Zhou Yuling walked out from it.
Wan Yingying was startled, then turned overjoyed and waved to Zhou Yuling: "Sister Yuling."
Although Zhou Yuling was puzzled as to why Gao Xian brought Wan Zhen and his daughter here, she still smiled and greeted Wan Yingying warmly.
Zhu Qiniang glanced at Wan Zhen, who looked a little uneasy. Gao Xian explained, "They were attacked by a wandering cultivator and had nowhere to hide, so I brought them here to seek refuge."
Wan Zhen naturally knew Zhu Qiniang, and knew how powerful she was. He said nervously and dryly, "Manager Zhu, we have nowhere to go, so please take us in."
Zhu Qiniang said calmly: "Since Ah Xian has brought you here, there is no need to be polite."
Gao Xian also said: "Friend Wan, Yingying, you go in first."
As he spoke, he winked at Zhou Yuling, indicating that Zhou Yuling should greet the father and daughter.
Zhou Yuling warmly invited Wan Zhen and his daughter into the shelter. This was originally a natural rock crevice, but after excavation and transformation, it became a cave several meters in radius.
A small piece of bright stone is embedded in the rock wall, emitting soft light, illuminating the small cave quite brightly.
A small white triangular flag was inserted beside the cave entrance. Layers of clouds swayed above the flag, covering the cave entrance like a curtain.
Wan Zhen was proficient in refining equipment, and he could see that this magical weapon was used to conceal his aura. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
This cave is so hidden and there are magical instruments to conceal the aura, it is very safe to hide here.
Zhou Ye, who was sitting cross-legged at the innermost part of the cave, took the initiative to greet Wan Zhen with a smile.
Although the old man didn't go out, he knew that it was Gao Xian who brought Wan Zhen and his daughter here.
Although Wan Zhen and his daughter are outsiders, they still have to be polite to each other.
Zhou Ye and Zhou Yuling were both good at chatting, and after a while, Wan Zhen and Wan Yingying relaxed.
Gao Xian, who was outside, was observing the situation of Pegasus with Zhu Qiniang.
For safety reasons, Gao Xian activated the Shadowless Robe to cover Zhu Qinnan.
Standing on the hillside, the two could see the flames of various spells in the Pegasus Collection, and beams of fire shot up into the sky, illuminating the night sky.
Zhu Qiniang said solemnly: "Pegasus is really finished!"
Gao Xian shook his head: "Li Shuanglin ran away a long time ago. It seems that Lianyun Sect has given up on Feima Ji."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt something and looked up towards the northern sky.
The night sky in September is as clear as a mirror, with bright stars and a bright new moon.
Under the shining of stars and moon, a black dot is moving at high speed.
Gao Xian used the Flower-Jianling Mirror in telescopic mode and saw clearly that the black spot was actually a black spaceship about 20 to 30 feet long.
The black sail embroidered with the emblem of seven crossed black swords fluttered in the strong wind, pushing the spacecraft straight into the air.
A man in black stood at the bow with his hands behind his back, his eyes flickering with electricity and his aura was deep and sinister. Behind him stood a group of elite cultivators.
"It's broken, it's the Seven Evils Sect's spaceship!"
Gao Xian recognized the emblem of the Seven Evils Sect, and his expression changed.
As for the black-clothed man at the head, Gao Xian certainly didn't recognize him. But he could see that the black-clothed man's magical power was deep and profound, several times stronger than Li Shuanglin and Mu Yunxiu.
From this, it can be inferred that this person must be a great cultivator in the late stage of foundation building.
The Seven Evils Sect dispatched such a master, and they must be determined to capture the Pegasus! Zhu Qiniang's eyesight was far inferior to Gao Xian's, and she could only vaguely see a black dot. But she knew that Gao Xian's magic was superb, and she would never be wrong.
The Seven Evils Sect even sent a spaceship, obviously determined to get Pegasus. She couldn't help but feel heavy in her heart.
To Lianyun Sect, Pegasus Anthology might be insignificant, but to her and Gao Xian, Pegasus Anthology was their foundation.
The Pegasus Collection was occupied by the Seven Evils Sect, what should she and Gao Xian do? (End of this chapter)
