Chapter 322
The main thing is that the spiritual consciousness is pervasive. It is okay in the wild, but it is not so easy to penetrate in the city.
Generally speaking, Cheng Hui is not willing to use his spiritual sense in crowded places.
The main thing is that spiritual consciousness is omnipresent. It’s okay in the wild, but in the city, you might see some eye-catching content.
Fortunately, there was no need to search this time, and he could directly lock onto the house in front of him, which avoided the possibility of him seeing some eye-catching content again.
The vast spiritual consciousness slowly enveloped the entire house. With Cheng Hui's current spiritual consciousness strength, a cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Stage might not be able to detect it if he was not specialized in this way, let alone a group of Golden Core Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators.
The scene in the courtyard was still vivid in his mind, and Cheng Hui almost brought out a small stool to watch the fun.
After the alchemist went in, he was led by the woman in yellow skirt to find Xiaohong.
Xiaohong is a very attractive female cultivator. She is not particularly beautiful, with a round, fleshy face. At this moment, she is lying in bed due to injury. Her slightly pale face adds a sense of false fragility to her, which makes people feel pity for her.
"Xiaohong!" The young man in the lead's eyes suddenly turned red when he saw the weak woman on the bed.
The consequences of failing to build a foundation are terrible. If you are not careful, you may even damage your spiritual roots and become unable to practice again.
They were all poor independent cultivators who usually huddled together for warmth. They didn't have much extra money and couldn't even buy her some good medicine.
"Brother Wu..." Xiaohong opened her eyes and said softly.
"I'm here!" The young man hurried forward and held her hand, trying to win back this unreal woman who seemed like she would disappear at any moment.
The hidden emotions in his heart were about to burst out. He held Xiaohong's hand tightly, wanting to say something but not daring to open his mouth.
The woman in the yellow skirt standing behind him looked gloomy when she saw this, with a depressed expression as if she had failed in love.
"Get out of the way, don't get in the way." The middle-aged man obviously didn't know how to read people's faces. He had no feelings about the wonderful Shura scene in front of him and only felt that the man was in the way.
The young man was furious and wanted to explode, but then he remembered that he still had to rely on the alchemist to cure Xiaohong, so he held his breath and gave up his seat.
But when he went up to take a look at Xiaohong, he saw that her face was pale and her breath was weak, which was indeed a sign of serious injury.
He stretched out his hand to take Xiaohong's pulse, and she cooperated by raising her hand. Just as he was about to touch Xiaohong's pulse, an unremarkable man who had been standing behind them suddenly made a gesture, and then thick white fog instantly covered the entire courtyard. Xiaohong, who was lying on the bed seriously injured and dying, also chuckled, twisted her body like a snake, and pounced on the alchemist.
"Bold!" The alchemist's face changed, and a layer of golden light appeared on his body. Countless fine cow-hair needles were blocked outside by the golden light.
The alchemist's face changed drastically, and he was filled with fear. He had spent a huge amount of money to buy the robe he was wearing, a price that even an alchemist like him would feel painful to pay. Now it seems that he made a good purchase, otherwise he would have died.
Xiaohong giggled softly, and the alchemist looked at her in shock and anger, and was stunned to find that she had changed into a set of green armor without knowing when.
This layer of armor was covered with scales and was very slippery, which made Xiaohong's treacherous and changeable movements even more silky. She even slid directly onto the roof, entangled herself on the beams, and stared at the alchemist with a fierce look.
"Who sent you here?" The alchemist was furious. He believed that he had never offended anyone, so why would someone set up a plan to assassinate him?
If Luo Beidou heard his inner voice, he would probably laugh out loud. "You're not offending anyone, are you? You're actually offending everyone!"
"Guess!" The snake girl made a strange sound, and her two eyes turned into vertical pupils, looming in the thick fog.
The alchemist was anxious. Although he was a Jindan cultivator, he was not proficient in fighting. Moreover, this snake girl was very cunning and no one knew what would happen next.
He quickly took out a distress signal from his body and tried to ask Bai Yujing for help. After all, this was Beiliang City. As long as Bai Yujing could get the news, he believed that even if they could not kill these assassins, they could drive them away and save their own lives.
Unfortunately, the flares he threw out were unable to penetrate the foggy courtyard and fell before they could even get into the air.
The alchemist was like being struck by lightning, and his heart was even more panicked. If he couldn't even wait for help, then it would be the end.
The snake woman continued to use words to shake the alchemist's state of mind while launching various attacks.
The alchemist's robe was indeed a magical weapon of good quality, but that was all it could do. Facing the seemingly endless attacks, the alchemist could only make pitifully few counterattacks.
Bang--
There was a crisp sound, and the snake girl and the alchemist looked in the direction of the sound at the same time.
Then the white fog that had been covering the courtyard and isolating it from the Beiliang City formation... dissipated!
"How could this happen!" The snake woman was horrified.
This white mist is a treasure that can block the detection of a large formation. It is a treasure that she has accumulated for many years and exchanged for her merits.
In the past, she had used this treasure to carry out assassinations in the city many times, and she was always successful. Now, the white mist had dissipated... How could it be possible!!!
"not good!"
The snake woman's expression suddenly changed. The dissipation of the white mist meant that Beiliang City's formation had detected the changes here, and the people from Baiyujing might be on their way. She couldn't delay any longer.
"Kill them!" the snake woman roared, her eyes glowing red, the scale-armored tights on her body flashing an ominous cold light, and her whole body began to transform into a real giant snake.
"Ah!" With a scream, the man who had previously plotted against his companions began to kill these people. His black pupils flashed with a cold light, which made the people around him shudder.
"Stop! Zhou Yong, are you crazy?"
"No! He's not Zhou Yong, he's...ah!"
The screams that came one after another made the alchemist feel a little panicked.
In the past, he had always relied on his wealth and power to crush his enemies with magical weapons. But this snake woman was slippery and relentless, and his attacks failed to hit her. Even when he did hit her, the scale armor would dissipate most of the force, and the remaining damage would be limited to the snake woman.
Seeing that the protection of his outer robe was about to be broken, the alchemist hurriedly ran towards the gate of the courtyard.
Now that the white fog has dissipated, he may not be trapped here anymore. If he doesn't run away now, when will he run?
"Hmph!" The snake girl sneered, her figure suddenly flashed, and she suddenly appeared behind the alchemist.
The long spike in her hand was stained with an ominous black light and stabbed towards the alchemist's back.
The alchemist was unaware of anything. He only heard a crisp sound and the protective shield around him collapsed. In an instant, alarm bells rang in his head.
Snap——
The smug smile on the snake woman's face froze in an instant. In her incredulous gaze, the long cone and a flaming long sword intersected with each other. The long cone that she had spent countless materials to carefully refine actually shattered with a sound?
The snake girl was about to break into pieces.
The mission was about to be completed, so what was this long sword that suddenly appeared? What was the reason for the flames on it?
Also, the long sword was obviously not made of any precious materials and even began to melt in the flames. Why could it shatter his own weapon?
The snake girl's mind was filled with all kinds of confusion, but unfortunately she had no time to think. As a professional killer, if the assassination failed, she would naturally flee as soon as possible, and the snake girl was no exception.
She twisted her body back and forth, dodging possible attacks. Her slippery scales and soft bones allowed her to dodge most attacks in all kinds of incredible postures.
However... she twisted for a long time, but was just fighting with the air. Apart from breaking her weapon, the other party did not continue to attack.
The snake girl wanted to run immediately, but when she tried to escape from the courtyard, she found that the outside of the courtyard was covered by a layer of gray-white mist. She drilled into the mist like lightning, and then rushed out from another angle like lightning.
Snake Girl:......
She rushed forward again without giving up, and returned to the courtyard from another place.
It’s over, this place is covered by a magic circle.
The snake woman, who has used white mist many times, knows the power of the magic circle very well. She may even have met a master of the magic circle, or a master who possesses a top-grade magic circle plate. In the end, it is an existence that she cannot resist.
So, the snake girl threw the remaining long spike on the ground in a very chaste manner, raised her hands high, and crawled on the ground... She knelt very cleanly.
The one who just stopped her sneak attack was naturally Cheng Hui.
They still have to find some medicine to make, and of course they can't let him die at the hands of this snake woman.
The layer of white mist before was actually also a kind of formation plate. To this formation master, this kind of formation plate had no secrets at all. At most, it would take a little time to figure out the method of the person who refined it. As long as he figured out the pulse, he could crack it immediately.
Soon, Lin Qingyang and Luo Beidou also took care of the other man, but the group of casualties suffered heavy casualties. Looking at the bodies of their companions, they looked sad.
Cheng Hui glanced at them and shook his head helplessly.
Those who didn't die had been given healing herbs, and the rest had been dead for some time, so it was impossible to save them.
When he saw them, Cheng Hui recalled the scene where he had reincarnated crazily but was constantly implicated and killed, and he sighed in his heart.
The world of cultivation is really dangerous. Just like today, the whole thing may have nothing to do with them, but this killer chose to use them to set a trap.
Later, he even killed several people for blood sacrifice.
Cheng Hui didn't understand, but Lin Qingyang was an old hand and could tell at a glance that the blood and souls in the bodies of the dead people had disappeared.
Look at the half-human, half-snake appearance of the snake girl. Is there anything else you don’t understand?
It's nothing more than some secret method of communicating with the snake god, but this secret method should consume a lot of energy, and it also requires blood and soul as sacrifices, otherwise the snake girl may not kill those people.
This is the territory of Baiyujing. Cheng Hui did not deliberately block the investigation of the Beiliang City formation. Therefore, not long after, the Baiyujing cultivators who received the news came here and brought everyone back to the Baiyujing headquarters.
As outer sect priests of Baiyujing, Cheng Hui and Lin Qingyang were naturally invited to the seats of honor. Luo Beidou told Master Wen about his previous experiences, and combined with the results of the interrogation, he had a general understanding of the matter.
It's very simple to say. Someone in the Dark Star Pavilion paid money to buy the life of the alchemist, and the snake girl took on the task.
Those people before were just tools of the snake woman. It was because of her deliberate guidance that they went to cause trouble for the alchemist and led people to the courtyard, creating an opportunity for her to isolate herself from the large formation and investigate.
