Chapter 99 The Battle Begins
Pei Chang'an and Su Qingliu's eyes met for a moment.
Who wouldn't be envious of something like the Life Fruit, which has no side effects?
Although the relationship between the North and South is good, they are not willing to compromise on matters of resources.
Pei Chang'an was extremely confident in obtaining the Fruit of Life; the current concern was how to protect it.
Especially Su Qingliu.
Born with a sword-like spirit, personally taught by the Sword Master.
They should not be underestimated.
These rogue cultivators are the most troublesome, mainly because there are too many of them, and they are reckless. If a fight breaks out, we will definitely have to join forces to deal with them.
He took the initiative to speak telepathically, "Junior Brother Su, you help me stop them. After we succeed, we'll split the cost two of us, and you can take one. How about that?"
Lin Qingran is not afraid of any poison.
What he needed to do was to stop all the independent cultivators and protect her.
Faced with such a great temptation, Su Qingliu would not refuse to receive a Life Fruit without having to risk his life himself, simply by blocking it for them.
The later group of independent cultivators, unaware of the horrific scene, were blinded by their own rage and rushed straight towards the lake.
Su Qingliu didn't even look at the rogue cultivator who fell into the lake with a 'plop, plop' sound, and whose limbs were corroded at an extremely fast speed.
With a listless, drooping eyelashes and a disdainful demeanor, she stood out from the group of cultivators. Her voice was languid as she said, "I want them all."
Pei Chang'an: "..." Do you even care about your face? Why are you so greedy?
Unexpectedly, Pei Chang'an was astonished at being rejected; where did he get such confidence?
Even he wouldn't dare say he could hold out against so many reckless rogue cultivators.
Just then, a slender, snow-white figure suddenly leaped without warning toward the protruding black stone surface of the pool.
The moment Lin Qingran made her move, everyone couldn't hold back and unleashed various orbs of spiritual energy.
There are too many wolves and not enough meat; the more wolves die, the greater the chance of success.
Upon seeing the second, even faster figure, Su Qingliu and Pei Chang'an instinctively turned their swords in unison.
A wisp of sword intent, as smooth as silk, flowing like clouds and water, leisurely and carefree, like smoke and wind.
Another sword intent, like a rainbow, was both elegant and chilling, and unpredictable.
They all stopped the rogue cultivator from making a move.
Seeing the situation change, Bai Ziye, Lin Yujin, and two other disciples of the Eternal Sect joined the chaotic battle.
"So many people, and you want to take it all for yourself!" A rogue cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage spoke angrily, his eyes bloodshot. "It's too much for disciples of major sects to act so domineeringly!"
This sentence instantly ignited the dissatisfaction of the rogue cultivators.
"A direct disciple of the sect, yet you dare to steal our opportunities, leaving us no chance to survive! Get out of the way! I only need one! Otherwise, I won't be polite!"
Pei Chang'an: "..."
Even though she knew they were cursing the Eternal Sect, Lin Yujin still felt like she was being dragged into the insults.
He said he wanted one, so he just took one?
Why doesn't he just fly to the sky?!
With so many people, who wouldn't want it?
When they were on Broken Mountain, they lived no differently from other independent cultivators.
There's nothing I don't understand; these rogue cultivators are trying to flatter them to the point of making them feel embarrassed!
That would be wrong.
That's just how the cultivation world is!
Only the strong deserve to live!
"Move aside? You think you can just move aside whenever you want? Do you think this secret realm is your private property?"
"Go ahead and call it that!"
Dressed in black, Lin Yujin felt no burden as she briefly expelled herself from the sect she had just joined.
"Who isn't a rogue cultivator! You dare not pick them yourselves, yet you forbid others from picking them? You even attacked my junior sister! You all want to die!"
Bai Ziye chuckled, opened his lips, and uttered a few extremely hurtful words, "Old Deng, if you have no shame, can you donate it?"
Amidst the tense standoff, gazes locked on the two figures leaping into the pool.
Seeing that they had safely passed through the mist, the rogue cultivators were both overjoyed and anxious. They spared no effort and launched a coordinated attack using all their skills.
Their resources are inferior to those of the major sect disciples; only by banding together can they have a chance to snatch the Life Fruit from them.
When Pei Chang'an saw Jiang Xianwan following closely behind, he frowned and raised his sword to meet the seemingly crazed rogue cultivators.
While fighting, his eyes were filled with disapproval, and he asked excitedly, "Fellow Daoist Su, why didn't you stop Junior Sister Jiang just now!"
He didn't stop Lin Qingran because she wasn't afraid of poison!
Is Su Qingliu just going to watch Jiang Xianwan die?
Pei Chang'an's impression of the three of them instantly soured. His tone turned colder than eight-tenths, and even the sword in his hand burst forth with dazzling spiritual energy, sharp as a blade.
The more I talked about it, the angrier I got.
"How could you treat your junior sister like this! That stone is a black-gold python at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage! Peak!"
A difference of just one rank is like heaven and earth!
Lin Qingran repeatedly assured him that she had a way to deal with the Black Gold Python before he finally nodded.
"The poison in that mist is so potent, why are you all watching her go to her death!"
"Go and pull her back! Now!"
He felt a strange sense of familiarity when he first saw Jiang Xianwan.
Especially during his ten days or so at the Taixu Sect, he couldn't help but observe her.
Although her appearance is different, she has a carefree personality and is always full of vitality.
It's easy to see that every day is incredibly exciting.
What are Su Qingliu and the others thinking about such a wonderful junior sister?
Pei Chang'an's wrist couldn't help but tilt slightly towards Su Qingliu.
It seems that if it weren't for these rogue cultivators, they would have been eager to strike Su Qingliu and his companions with a sword.
The three boys: "...?"
No, look at yourself first.
How dare they say such a thing and then turn around and bite me!
Besides, what business is it of his, an outsider, with their affairs and his junior sister's?
Didn't they know that it was a python at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage?
Don't they know they should protect their junior sister?
He pushed his own junior sister out, so how could he have the nerve to turn around and scold them?
As the three teenagers fought, they secretly considered whether they should pin Pei Chang'an down and beat him up.
Jiang Xianwan was completely unaware of all this.
She and Lin Qingran passed through the mist at almost the same time and reached for the spiritual plant at the same time.
Jiang Xianwan's movements were clearly faster.
The two fair wrists collided with spiritual energy.
Those rogue cultivators who had been watching them closely grew increasingly frantic upon seeing that they were indeed unharmed.
"You brat, how dare you block my way! Get out of my way!"
An old man, his eyes bloodshot with rage, unleashed his full power, his aura as a Nascent Soul cultivator reaching its peak, and a surge of formidable spiritual energy erupted from his body.
Su Qingliu and Pei Chang'an, of course, would not give these rogue cultivators the opportunity to get close to their junior sisters.
A tacit understanding was reached.
They joined forces to stop these rogue cultivators.
The ownership of the Life Fruit will depend on the skills of their respective junior sisters!
Pei Chang'an blasted back two reckless rogue cultivators with a single sword strike, his peripheral vision involuntarily sweeping towards that taller, more slender figure.
For some reason, he had a very strange feeling.
Jiang Xianwan seems to be able to beat Lin Qingran, yet he also seems unable to.
At crucial moments, the tactics either go astray or stall without warning.
However, after Su Qingliu deflected the sword tip of a rogue cultivator and blocked an attack for him, Pei Chang'an quickly regained his senses.
These rogue cultivators fight like madmen, and their sheer numbers make them quite troublesome.
On the other side, Lin Qingran's wrist twisted from the impact, her fingertips grasping at empty air, and a chill suddenly appeared in her eyes.
She hadn't expected Jiang Xianwan to be unafraid of the poisonous gas, and her previous plan had fallen through.
What's even more unacceptable is that Jiang Xianwan's cultivation level is far above hers, and she can't compare to him at all!
If it weren't for the system disrupting her opponent, she wouldn't have lasted three moves with her true strength.
Aren't they all at the Nascent Soul stage?
Why is her nascent soul stronger than hers?!
This feeling of being overshadowed made her eyes flash with a hint of resentment.
However, this initial hostility quickly turned into anticipation.
No matter how high her cultivation level is, she's only a Nascent Soul cultivator and could never be a match for the Black Gold Python. She'll be finished soon!
Lin Qingran glanced at the water surface that had begun to tremble and ripple, and slightly curled her lips.
Jiang Xianwan's attention was focused on the female lead.
Seeing that she wasn't annoyed when her hand reached for the spiritual plant but missed, and even looked pleased, he couldn't help but frown.
