Chapter 31031 Benefactor, it’s you!
There is only one transmission array in the Dawn Continent, which is located on the Donghu Island in the center of Donghu Lake.
Donghu Island is vast and has a mountain called Donghu Mountain on the island. It is not steep but quite beautiful. The climate is warm in winter and cool in summer, making it an excellent place for health preservation.
The transmission array is set up on the top of the mountain.
Legend has it that this transmission array was created by an ancient great power. Only cultivators can see it. Even if mortals climb to the top of the mountain, they can only see the beautiful scenery and cannot enter the restricted area.
The transmission array is activated every afternoon. It is free for Yuanying cultivators and above, while Jindan cultivators need to pay five spirit stones to the array guard as "travel expenses".
It is recorded in the book "Nine Provinces Cultivation Records" that the people guarding the formation are rotated among several continents, and the position is changed every hundred years. It is unknown which continent will be the one to guard the formation this year.
And there are rules here too.
All monks must reach the island from the dock and then walk to the top of the mountain, even powerful ones. Any violation will be punished by the barrier and prohibited from riding the transmission array.
Lu Qingqing landed according to the rules and slowly walked up the stone steps.
Donghu Island has beautiful scenery, with lingering mist, birds singing, flowers blooming, and a gentle breeze. Even if you hike there, you won't feel irritated, but rather happy.
Lu Qingqing climbed the mountain while enjoying the scenery.
It is autumn now, but it is still like spring here, with everything flourishing and growing.
Lu Qingqing climbed the stairs, her dress fluttering in the wind, and the natural fragrance emanating from her body attracted butterflies to dance around her.
The bold ones even fell into her fair palms and played with her.
After walking for a while, the path was flanked by dense forest, blocking out most of the sunlight. As soon as we reached this point, the lively butterflies seemed to have changed their temperament for some reason and scattered.
Lu Qingqing had long developed the intuition to detect danger. Her body reacted faster than her brain, and she drew out the Ice Star Sword without hesitation.
The surroundings became quiet, as if the birds and insects were silenced.
A shadow suddenly fell over the forest. Upon closer inspection, it seemed as if a ghost was baring its fangs and claws in the shadows, with its bloody mouth wide open, trying to devour the living person alive.
The girl sneered, her eyes darkening as she raised her sword and swept forward. Under the silver light, the shadow shattered completely, and scraps of paper fell to the ground, and the sunlight cast a new light and shadow.
Puppetry.
However, this technique is rather crude and mainly serves to disgust people.
"Come out." Lu Qingqing said coldly, "Sneak attacks are despicable."
A vulgar laugh filled with hatred was heard.
"As expected of the woman I like, she is really not simple."
In a moment, four men in white emerged from the dense woods and surrounded Lu Qingqing. The leader was none other than the lecher Wei who had accosted her at the Jubao Hall in Jing County.
He looked Lu Qingqing up and down, his lustful eyes becoming even more filthy. "My dear lady, I haven't seen you for a few days. Not only have you become more beautiful, but your skills have also improved."
Lu Qingqing thought to herself that the saying "harm lasts for a thousand years" really came true. She glanced at the one-eyed man standing next to Monk Wei, "Even after becoming this bad, he still wants to harm others."
"You stinky bitch!" The man in white, who had half his eye covered with a cloth, was furious. "If I hadn't been attacked by your stupid male slave, would I have ended up like this?"
"If you hadn't bullied me repeatedly, would I have gone blind?" Lu Qingqing sneered, "It's just karma, retribution."
"Big Brother!" The one-eyed dragon gnashed his teeth in anger. "Our illustrious Hehuan Sect was actually bullied by a random female cultivator. If you tell anyone about this, will you still be able to survive?! I can't swallow this. I must tear her into pieces today!"
The cultivator surnamed Wei smiled wickedly, "Tearing her into pieces is not an option. This young lady is incredibly charming and has reached the Golden Core stage, making her the perfect choice to be my cauldron. It's a great opportunity to try out the ancient techniques my master brought back."
As he spoke, he looked at the black-faced man beside him, his tone full of respect.
"Brother, do you think it's okay?"
The black-faced man glanced at Lu Qingqing with eagle-like eyes and finally nodded.
Lu Qingqing thought to herself that this was not good.
These bastards turned out to be from the Hehuan Sect. She had originally thought that the Hehuan Sect was a sect from another continent and would not easily come to the Dawn Continent, but she didn't expect that her luck was so bad that she still encountered them.
Among these four people, there are two Jindan cultivators, and the black-faced man is a full-blooded late Jindan cultivator. She cannot beat him.
If she were captured alive, the outcome would be a fate worse than death. She had no master now, so even if something happened, she would have no one to back her up, making the other party even more fearless.
In an instant, my mind had turned countless times.
"Shameless things." Lu Qingqing brandished the Ice Star Sword, and the silver light shone brightly, sweeping across like a hurricane. "Even if I die, I won't let you succeed!"
The people from the Hehuan Sect didn't expect that she would dare to take the initiative, so they all raised their weapons to block the sword energy.
Lu Qingqing was waiting for this moment, and she decisively pressed the switch on the cone hat.
The poisonous invisible needles were shot out like a rainstorm, and under the influence of the sword energy, the momentum was like a rainbow.
"One-eyed Dragon" had the lowest cultivation level among these people. He was caught off guard and was hit in the shoulder by several needles. He screamed and fell down.
A murderous look appeared in the eyes of the monk named Wei.
"You've repeatedly hurt my junior brother and are courting death!"
He waved his fan, deflecting all the invisible needles. A faint black light came straight at Lu Qingqing's face, and she struggled to block it with her sword energy. The two were evenly matched.
But there was a dark-faced man in the opposing camp. His face darkened as he brandished his nine-section whip, making a crackling sound.
The Nine-Section Whip's powerful wind was so powerful that it actually split the barrier created by the sword energy. The monk surnamed Wei took advantage of the momentum and fanned Lu Qingqing's conical hat, lifting the veil.
Her beautiful face looked even more graceful and charming in the sunlight. Her watery eyes showed only disdain, but others could see her coquettishness.
The monk named Wei's eyes lit up, his throat rolled back and forth several times, and he suddenly became crazy.
"My dear, I will take you back today. I don't believe I can't have you!"
After saying that, he waved his fan and cooperated with the black-faced man to attack Lu Qingqing fiercely. The murderous aura even tore the latter's clothes at the shoulder.
Bloodstains oozed out and blood beads slid down her smooth white skin, which was shocking and yet infinitely tempting, causing several people from the Hehuan Sect to gasp for breath and their attacks on her became more fierce.
Lu Qingqing was shocked and angry, but she knew that her resistance was in vain.
Three people surrounded her and saw more and more wounds.
Under the fierce attack, Lu Qingqing finally couldn't resist. Her hand softened and the Ice Star Sword fell to the ground. She spat out blood, took a few steps back, and leaned against a large tree.
"Come on, why don't you fight anymore?" The beast named Wei waved his fan and approached Lu Qingqing step by step.
"What are you going to do?" Lu Qingqing stared at the other person and asked deliberately.
"What for? Of course, I want to taste your pretty face and touch your curvy figure." His tone became more and more frivolous, and the lust in his eyes almost materialized.
Lu Qingqing picked up the sword and pointed the tip at the other person, "Come here and try again."
The other hand quietly reached for the cone hat.
——Even if she died, she would take this bastard with her.
"I'm coming over, what can you do to me?"
The man surnamed Wei had a playful look on his face, looking like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water.
At this moment, she was less than half a foot away from Lu Qingqing. He waved his hand, and the sword in the latter's hand fell again.
Lu Qingqing's hand has already touched the mechanism, waiting for an opportunity to die together.
The cultivator named Wei laughed wildly and was about to lift Lu Qingqing's chin with his fan, but he saw a powerful pressure descending suddenly. Several people from the Hehuan Sect stood there in a daze, unable to move.
Lu Qingqing felt a familiar sense of pressure; though powerful, it seemed to harbor no ill will towards her. She escaped from the jaws of death, leaned against the tree trunk, and slowly slid down, panting heavily.
In a trance, a golden light appeared from the forest, and then turned into a whirlwind, sweeping over and lifting the people from the Hehuan Sect on the periphery straight into the air. The one-eyed dragon, who was originally half-dead, died suddenly on the spot, and the other two also vomited a few mouthfuls of blood, fell to the ground, and fainted.
The man surnamed Wei was so frightened that his hands were shaking and his fan fell to the ground. He wanted to beg for mercy but couldn't utter a single word.
The golden light transformed into a big palm, which aimed at the scoundrel and started beating him left and right, slapping him to and fro. His face swelled up like a pig's head and he spat out several mouthfuls of blood.
The huge hand grabbed Wei's neck again, lifted him up and threw him into the air, then slapped him on the back.
The lecher who was smiling lewdly just now seemed to have turned into a rag doll. He flew in the air for a while and finally hung on a tree branch. His eyes rolled back and it was unclear whether he was dead or alive.
The forest became quiet again.
Lu Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief, but it pulled the wound and she couldn't help but groan.
She quickly took out the Heyu Pill and swallowed it.
"I don't know which senior saw the injustice and saved me. I will always remember your great kindness." After recovering a little, Lu Qingqing stood up and wanted to thank this kind-hearted man.
As soon as he finished speaking, a black shadow fell from the sky, rolling up fallen leaves, with a faint fragrance of herbs, which was inexplicably refreshing.
He was a tall man dressed in black, wearing a cloak and a black scarf covering his face.
A hint of those eyes appeared under the cloak, bright and deep.
"Benefactor!" Lu Qingqing was surprised and happy.
This figure, this aura, these beautiful and cold eyes... who else could it be but the Nascent Soul master who rescued her at the Fuyue Town Inn?
"Why are you here too..."
Before Lu Qingqing could finish her words, the man in black took off his black cloak and bent down to cover her with it. The herbal fragrance flowed through his clothes and filled her nose and throat.
For some reason, a warm current surged in my heart, slowly moving upwards and into my eyes.
"Thank you, benefactor."
"Don't talk, I will heal you." The man in black spoke lightly, his voice was low and magnetic, more beautiful than the spring breeze in Donghu Mountain.
She suppressed the heat in her eyes, quickly sat cross-legged and closed her eyes.
The man in black waved his hand, and golden light enveloped the two of them.
Within the restriction, Lu Qingqing felt the other person's fingertips tapping her left and right shoulders, and then a palm touched her vest.
Dry, warm, and safe.
Then, a stream of pure spiritual power slowly flowed into the body from this broad palm.
