The short-range power of composite crossbow bolts is greater than that of Gatling gun bullets.
The group of monks who were besieging the Titan Ape watched as several short arrows flew out of the forest and landed on the Titan Ape's abdomen in the next instant.
Moreover, the opponent's archery skills were extremely accurate; none of the arrows landed on the Titan ape's inner core, and some even circled around the Titan ape's abdomen.
Just as they were marveling at which cultivator was so skilled in archery, another vine swiftly attacked the Titan Ape.
Before they could even blink, the vine landed on the arrow in the Titan's abdomen.
With a loud 'bong', mixed with the Titan ape's hoarse howl, the group of monks discovered that the Titan ape had a hole in its abdomen.
The vine pierced directly into the Titan ape's wound and then withdrew shortly afterward.
Some cultivators reacted quickly enough to realize that the vines had entered the Titan Ape's abdomen because of its inner core, and they drew their swords and charged straight at it.
"Leave behind the inner core!"
The sharp shout immediately startled everyone awake. They were all Golden Core cultivators, and this inner core would be of great use to them.
Therefore, when the first cultivator rushed forward, they followed.
"Chirp chirp!"
The vines, which had been chirping, returned to Sheng Ning's side.
The lush green leaves on the vines were stained with the blue blood of the Titans.
When Sheng Ning saw the inner core wrapped in leaves, her pupils contracted, and she immediately hid the inner core in her mustard seed bag.
"Senior brother, those people will definitely come looking for you. Remember, you've never seen me before!"
After taking the Gatling gun from Lu Qing'an and throwing it back into his consciousness space, Sheng Ning, who had obtained the inner core, immediately retreated a great distance.
The moment she left, the group of cultivators caught up with her. "Where is she?"
Lu Qing'an was the only one in the woods.
His lips were an unnaturally pale color because he had just been struck by a palm while fighting the Titan Ape, which caused internal injuries and made him look pale.
Such a person as Lu Qing'an is simply not good enough for these people.
A cultivator whose inner core was nearly shattered would have no chance of defeating a berserk Titan Ape.
Have you noticed there's someone else here?
Lu Qing'an understood why his junior sister had run so fast.
Eight or nine Golden Core cultivators were chasing her; if she didn't run fast, she probably wouldn't be able to escape.
Lu Qing'an coughed twice, clutching his chest, then shook his head and said in a hoarse voice, "Never seen it before."
"Impossible!" someone in the crowd raised their voice. "That vine came from this direction! And there were those short arrows and the sound of explosions..."
Fortunately, none of the cultivators who hunted the Titan Ape were disciples of the Taixu Sect, otherwise Lu Qing'an would have been exposed.
Everyone in the entire Taixu Sect knows that Sheng Ning has a strange weapon. Although the weapon itself has no spiritual power, its power is astonishing.
Someone used their divine sense to probe the aura within a hundred miles, and only after confirming that there was no cultivator skilled in using vines did they frown and open their eyes.
"You really haven't seen that person?" they persisted.
“I really haven’t seen her. That person hunted down a Titan ape. If I had actually seen her, I would definitely keep her here to thank her properly.” Lu Qingan shook his head.
A voice sneered from the crowd, "Thank you? She stole the Titan Ape's inner core. We fought for so long, and the Titan Ape was exhausted. She just sat back and reaped the benefits."
"Don't let me catch her, or I'll make her pay!"
Lu Qingan frowned. Sheng Ning had been standing next to him the whole time, keeping her figure hidden.
Therefore, he did not witness her taking the Titan's inner core.
A soft sigh escaped his throat, and Lu Qing'an coughed again, blood trickling from the corner of his lips. "I really haven't seen that person before. I was swatted away by Titan Ape and that's how I got here. Did you all see their faces?"
They were angry precisely because they didn't see it.
If any of them see this, they will surely go to each sect one by one, and they will not let her escape from their grasp.
Lu Jingshen and Yu, who were standing to the side, didn't care about the inner core or anything like that; they also wanted to know where their junior sister had gone.
Yu Ye felt even more helpless when he saw the familiar burlap sack not far away.
"I'm sorry, our senior brother is injured and needs to rest. Please find someone else to help him."
Lu Jingshen came to Lu Qingan's side, took out a pill and stuffed it into the latter's mouth.
He didn't ask where Sheng Ning had gone, after all, cultivators are sharp-eyed and sharp-eared, especially since those in front of him were all Golden Core cultivators.
If he said anything strange, they would become suspicious.
Only after all the cultivators had left did the three brothers breathe a sigh of relief.
"Where is she?" Yu Ye asked, carrying a sack.
Lu Qingan, the only one who knew the truth, shook his head. "They ran away."
Yu Ye clicked his tongue lightly, a helpless glint in his eyes, "Do you really think Junior Sister was expelled from the Taixu Sect back then?"
Not to mention Sheng Ning's cultivation talent is nothing short of devilish, the Gatling gun in her hand is enough to make the Taixu Sect envious.
Such a genius would be cherished and treasured in any sect.
Why did the style change when we got to the Taixu Sect?
After swallowing the pill, Lu Qing'an felt much more comfortable.
He sat cross-legged on the spot, and upon hearing this, he looked up at Yu Ye.
"Because of Shi Yueyao. If we fail to wake up from this dream, the consequences will be far more serious than being expelled from the sect."
Lu Qingan's words immediately brought Yu Ye and the other person back to reality.
They've been spending all their time with Sheng Ning lately.
If it weren't for Shi Yueyao occasionally appearing in front of them, they would have almost forgotten how they died in their previous lives.
In the already dark woods, the atmosphere instantly became cold and silent.
"Yeah, we were so stupid in our dream," Yu Ye sneered. "Were we drugged in our dream?"
After all, Shi Yueyao didn't seem very smart, and she wasn't as pretty as her junior sister.
How could they have been so infatuated with her in their past life?
Unfortunately, there was no solution to this problem. Shi Yueyao's cultivation level was far lower than theirs, and if she wanted to drug them, they would know immediately.
The forest fell silent.
Until Lu Jingshen lifted his foot to head down the mountain.
Yu immediately called out to stop him, "Where are you going?"
“I’m going to poison Shi Yueyao,” Lu Jingshen replied in a deep voice.
Within the Invincible Sect, the title of "good guy" belongs only to Lu Jingshen.
Even the kindest people are so angry, it shows how deeply Shi Yueyao hurt them in her past life.
Yu Ye, always eager for a good show, immediately followed after her, saying, "Wait for me, I have a few itching talismans and ugliness talismans here that I want to use on her."
Lu Qing'an: ......
Is this revenge?
Spending so much time with Sheng Ning, their thoughts seemed to have shifted from initially wanting to kill Shi Yueyao to now wanting to torture her.
After all, killing someone with a single sword strike doesn't bring excessive pleasure.
But it can be torturous.
Realizing what he was thinking, Lu Qingan chuckled and shook his head.
Having just taken a medicinal pill to regulate his body, he could not follow along.
It's a real shame.
