Chapter 221 Chapter 221
Chapter 221
Time goes back ten minutes.
Di Wu was thinking about what happened yesterday with a haggard look on his face.
What the master said yesterday gave all the fellow Taoists in the conference room a bad feeling, and they gathered around the master and asked.
"Why did Master Qiao say that? Doesn't our master and elders want to be with us anymore?"
"Master Qiao, why are you the only one coming down to the mortal world this time? Shouldn't there be other Jindan-stage cultivators accompanying you?"
"Master Qiao..."
Among the many people who asked Master Qiao, Di Wu did not speak. He knew his master too well, and he also understood the implied meaning of his master's words too well.
This made him proud in the past, but now Di Wu hated himself for the first time for knowing his master so well that he understood what he said in just a blink of an eye.
Those cultivators in the foundation-building and Qi-training stages that Master mentioned are all that the cultivation world can send out.
If there was a possibility that the master could escape, he would definitely not allow only those in the Foundation Establishment and Qi Condensation stages to arrive in Country A. He was certain of this.
But now...
The monks who had already received the answer wanted to ask again unwillingly, but the master stopped them from saying anything and said in a stern tone: "At this moment that concerns the life and death of the cultivation world, put your love affairs aside!"
"But Master——!" Di Wu wanted to speak again, but was stopped by Yan Qing.
Di Wu was a little puzzled as to why Yan Qing stood up at this time - until Yan Qing walked to his master and pulled open his collar.
——revealing the exquisite collar around her neck.
Yan Shan's eyes were instantly filled with tears.
"This collar holds the three souls and seven spirits of the cultivators. They can locate you through us. Even if those immortals cannot come to the cultivation world for a long time, they can control our life and death..."
Yan Qing spoke calmly at that time, which made Di Wu beside him feel quite uncomfortable.
But this also explains why she was the only one among them who were in the late Jindan stage to come down to the mortal world, while the rest of them were all detained in the world of cultivation.
It was these calm words that made Di Wu see Yan Shan crying breathlessly.
'Sister, when exactly did you stay? Okay? Don't go back. If you go back and release those Qi training and foundation building stage people, you will simply be asking for death!'
Seeing the young senior sister from the Biyu Sect crying with her face red, Di Wu wanted Yan Qing not to go back.
But Yan Qing's silence made Yan Shan cry even harder.
However, this time Yan Qing did not coax her junior sister, but spoke seriously and solemnly to all the cultivators present.
"We know that going back this time means we will die, but it would be a good thing if we can save the world of cultivation. The space gate between the world of cultivation and the mortal world is guarded by the Heavenly Dao. Those immortals will never be able to come to the mortal world, and if they want to see you again, they can only wait for you to ascend."
Yan Qing said this and then looked at his junior sister, then spoke softly for a moment.
"So everyone, practice well. I hope that when I see you next time, we will all still be alive and in the immortal world."
*
Di Wu thought of yesterday's scene and sighed deeply.
Yesterday, Senior Sister Yan’s farewell words made him cry with tears and snot. Of course, no one laughed at him. After all, they cried even more miserably than Di Wu.
However, the reason why Di Wu looked particularly haggard was that last night, Sect Leader Qiao secretly placed all the important jade slips of their sect in an extra-large storage bag and gave it to him, and he did not sleep all night that night.
One moment he was overjoyed that his master had high hopes for him, and the next moment he was extremely sad that his master was going back to die. The combination of these two emotions almost made him yawn when he signed the agreement the next day.
However, even if he wasn't yawning, his overall expression wasn't very good and he seemed to be lacking energy.
——So much so that when Master Qiao was talking to Sheng Xingsi, it took him a moment to react before he realized who the person in front of him was.
When seeing Master Qiao apologizing to the other party so kindly and offering to compensate Sheng Xingsi, Di Wu felt somewhat unwilling but also felt that the situation was stronger than the person.
After these monks enter Country A, they will have to live under the control of the mortals of Country A.
Although Di Wu still felt a little sorry for his master, his master was so humble all for them.
"But it's good to settle the score." Di Wu thought carelessly, "If Sheng Xingsi talks about his father in the future, we won't allow it."
However, at the moment when Di Wu was distracted, the young man in front of him, whose face had become extremely dark, directly condensed a golden long sword.
——Directly pierced his master’s dantian!
Di Wu's eyes suddenly turned red with anger!
*
"ah--!"
Di Wu froze in place until he heard a scream. Then he reacted and was about to kick the young man opposite him, but the young man took a few steps back and dodged the kick.
Di Wu was just about to go over and hit someone, but at this moment the people present recovered from their stiff state and the scene suddenly fell into chaos.
Because the media were trapped in the barrier and could not come out without the permission of specialists, they could only stand on the platform and keep looking for a position to take pictures of the people below.
Those who were still able to move freely in Country A and the cultivation world all rushed up at once.
Di Wu watched helplessly as the people from Country A quickly separated the people on both sides and used their bodies as human shields, while the people from the cultivation world quickly stuffed hemostatic pills and various life-saving pills into Master Qiao's mouth.
Of course, there are also those who want to attack Sheng Xing.
——When I took action, I remembered that there were spirit-banning facilities at the scene.
They couldn't even cast a spell, and with the obstruction of others, they could only return to Master Qiao temporarily. Di Wu glared fiercely at the last culprit in the crowd who looked nonchalant, then turned around and tried to protect his master's Dantian.
In fact, they didn't take this injury seriously at first. Although Sheng Xingsi stabbed Master Qiao's dantian, Master Qiao was a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage after all, and his dantian was not that fragile.
Di Wu quickly gave Master Qiao an emergency pill, thinking that everything would be fine, but -
Spiritual energy continued to leak out from Master Qiao's dantian, like a big colander. Even though he stuffed pills in it to protect his dantian, the spiritual energy that was originally in Master Qiao's dantian still escaped.
Although Master Qiao's Dantian has been saved and he can resume his cultivation, the energy consumed and his current physical condition mean that God knows what level he can reach.
Seeing this result, Di Wu was stunned, and even his fellow brothers and sisters who didn’t like studying very much were stunned.
They have common sense. How could the Dantian of a powerful person in the Nascent Soul stage be so fragile?
—Unless something unusual is used.
Soon they looked incredulous, and then suddenly turned their heads to look at Sheng Xingsi behind the crowd.
The soul-forbidden array must be real, and they have no way to set it up in it. If someone can use their abilities, then Sheng Xingsi can easily condense the golden illusory long sword in the soul-forbidden array...
Where did it come from?
From a perspective that only the media noticed, Sect Leader Qiao was also staring at Sheng Si on the opposite side.
He was quite familiar with the golden sword, but what was familiar to him was not the golden sword itself, but the material that made up the sword.
——He had only seen this material in the hands of immortals.
*
While Master Qiao was thinking about why the things in the newcomer's hand appeared on Sheng Xingsi, he did not notice that his appearance was aging rapidly.
Only Di Wu was so angry when he saw his master become like this that even his hands began to tremble.
He really didn't understand why the situation suddenly turned out like this. Although he knew that his master would leave soon after signing the contract this time, he didn't expect that his master would suffer such a misfortune before leaving.
Seeing that his master had recovered his breath, Di Wu quickly stood up and was about to find Sheng Xingsi to fight desperately. However, just as he was about to take action, he could not gather his spiritual power, so he had to stop.
Di Wu stood there unwillingly. He was originally an alchemy cultivator with little combat power. At most, he could defeat some Qi training cultivators who were weaker than him by relying on the pressure of his level.
But he is so popular, he is at the Jindan stage! And he is at the Jindan stage that no one has taught him!
The difficulty of dealing with this Jindan stage is no less than that of dealing with an early Yuanying stage.
But even if Di Wu can't win, it doesn't stop him from making harsh remarks.
At this time, the situation on the field has been temporarily controlled, and the noise is not as loud as before. No one dares to approach Sheng Xingsi, after all, the forbidden spirit formation has not been unlocked yet, and only Sheng Si can transform into a weapon.
And when everyone was unarmed, his presence also represented danger - even the ordinary mortal who had appeared beside him before wanted to step forward, but was stopped by his subordinates.
Sheng Xingsi didn't care that others thought he was a devil. He was crossing his arms and watching the panic and discomfort of the cultivators on the opposite side with great interest.
It was at this time that Di Wu spoke.
"Sheng Xingsi! We in the cultivation world have shown great sincerity. We are even willing to make up for the previous incident of injuring your father. If you are not satisfied with the compensation, you can ask why you injured the leader just because of a disagreement!"
Di Wu looked like a victim complaining, and his miserable appearance made the people from Country A feel a little guilty, but in the end they felt justified.
——They also didn't expect that Sheng Xingsi could actually condense a long sword out of thin air in the forbidden spirit formation?
This kind of thing is rare even in the world of cultivation.
Seeing Di Wu's look of a victim, the young man in sunglasses who had just asked them why they didn't go to sign, suddenly froze for a moment with his happy and relaxed expression on his face.
Then he curled the corners of his mouth, spread his hands, and said with a grin.
"Since everyone in the cultivation world is so generous, I will certainly not be stingy. I am also willing to compensate Master Qiao for the blow I took today. How about using the compensation you gave my father to offset it?"
"You!" This time it was not just Di Wu. Most of the cultivators in the cultivation world also stood up and stood beside Di Wu to express their attitudes.
The Jindan stage of country A is indeed going too far.
"Fellow Daoist Sheng, you are going too far!"
The Jindan stage warrior who had fought against Sheng Xingsi before stood in front and said with a frown.
The young man wearing small round sunglasses opposite couldn't help laughing out loud.
“Hahahahaha – sorry sorry, I’ve never heard such a funny joke before.”
The young man in sunglasses spoke with a smile, but his next words were merciless.
"After all, I originally thought that you in the cultivation world would have some shame."
These words made the monks on the opposite side collectively explode in anger, and others tried to stop them or take action. The media above became even more excited, and they never stopped shooting the cameras in their hands.
On the other side, Country A was complaining bitterly as they saw that the cultivation world on the other side had obviously united against a common enemy.
God knows what Sheng Xingsi was crazy about, he actually stabbed the other party in such an important occasion and said that the grudges were settled. This person came to sign on behalf of the other side of the cultivation world, and he was stabbed directly!
Can't he consider the overall situation? Even if he wants revenge, he can just wait until the other person finishes signing and then stab the person!
The top leaders of country A are now ready to take revenge. They gnashed their teeth as they looked at Sheng Xingsi, who was fanning the flames behind the crowd, and wished he would shut up immediately. But unfortunately, no one at the scene dared to shut Sheng Xingsi's mouth - after all, he was a security guard, and everyone present knew his strength.
But at this time, Sheng Xingsi was actually adding fuel to the fire.
"What? Did I say something wrong?"
He raised a comfortable smile, looked at the people in the cultivation world and said, "When you deal with others, they deserve it, and when others resist you, it is too much..."
He pushed up his glasses and pointed at them in the air.
"Is there a possibility that this is not an overreaction - but that you deserve it?"
*
Now the monks could not bear it any longer, and the security personnel present could hardly stop these strong monks. They looked at Sheng Xingsi and wanted this old man to stop talking. Didn’t they see that these monks were already furious and embarrassed!
However, what no one expected was that the one who finally smoothed things over was actually Sect Leader Qiao. He coughed heavily and spoke in a voice that had become a little old.
"Okay, stop now."
Although the monks were dissatisfied, they stopped temporarily after seeing the look on Master Qiao's face, but they still asked the neighboring country A to give them an explanation.
Master Qiao didn't say anything at this time - he was thinking about a problem.
Is Sheng Xingsi's rapid cultivation speed related to the golden light of merit on his body?
Although the world of cultivation has been conquered and cannot stop the immortals, the cultivators' efforts in the world of cultivation over the years have not been in vain. Even if it is proven that they cannot defeat the immortals, some small facilities can still be used to peek at them at certain times.
The powerful golden light in the hands of the immortals was what Sect Leader Qiao saw through the stone beast that was used for surveillance by the founder of Huanhai Sect long ago.
According to what the immortals said during their conversation, this so-called golden light is the golden light of merit, and it is very likely that it appeared through their prayers.
At that time, Master Qiao was still wondering why these immortals attached so much importance to this so-called golden light of merit - until today.
A Jindan stage cultivator pierced the Dantian of a Yuanying stage cultivator with one strike, and there was no time to repair it, causing the Yuanying stage cultivator to fall back to a mortal state.
This sentence, which reveals absurdity from beginning to end, actually came true today.
But Master Qiao's eyes were shining, as if the powerful person whose dantian was stabbed was not him.
But for Master Qiao, even if he is now a mortal, what does it matter?
If the reason why Sheng Xingsi cultivated so fast was related to the golden light of merit in his hands, then even if he was a mortal, he would be able to recover his original cultivation level within a few years, or even go further.
——As long as he can cultivate the golden light of merit.
Master Qiao narrowed his eyes and thought.
"Come to think of it, when Bai Fenglin was having his fortune told by Han Jue, did Han Jue say that Bai Fenglin had embarked on the path of merit because of the offerings from mortals?"
Master Qiao thought.
During this period, Bai Fenglin seemed to be coerced by those immortals and had his mouth blocked, but he had been trying to tell him something indirectly.
He and other sect leaders had already analyzed what the immortals were offering through their beliefs, but this was the first time he knew what he was worshipping.
"It really is a good thing. No wonder the immortals have no shame and come to occupy the cultivation world and let us pray and worship them."
Master Qiao narrowed his eyes when he thought of this.
Although he acted like a heroic sacrifice, in fact, he sent out those disciples in the foundation-building and foundation-training stages to keep some sparks in the world of cultivation. It did not mean that they would really die.
——Maybe we can do something about these disciples?
A rough plan suddenly came up in Master Qiao's mind, and he looked blankly at Sheng Xingsi who was behind the crowd.
'To some extent, what this Little Golden Core Stage said is true - some cultivators really deserve it.'
However, this thought flashed through his mind only in a flash, and Master Qiao still looked weak.
At this time, the noise on the scene became louder and louder.
The demands of the cultivation world are very simple: they want the culprit Sheng Xingsi to apologize to them and let them retaliate, and the matter will be written off.
Otherwise, even if they died in the world of cultivation, they would never accept such humiliation.
However, Country A, which was originally happy, was not happy about it. Although it had intended to calm the matter down before, Sheng Xingsi was the only high-end combat force that Country A could show off now. It would be strange if Country A agreed to it.
"...Fellow cultivators, we will certainly compensate, but isn't it a bit too much to ask for the other party's cultivation to be abolished? Moreover, it is revenge for one's father, which should be a righteous act in the culture of your cultivation world, right? And Minister Sheng is our main fighting force after all, and he is wholeheartedly for the people of Country A. You are putting us in an unjust situation."
The diplomatic official from country A said with a smile.
It looks a little bit similar to Shengxingsi.
In fact, there was a serious quarrel when Country A was discussing it just now. Some people advocated sending Sheng Xingsi out to calm the anger of those Jindan-stage cultivators.
Exchanging one for several is never a loss.
But the Civic Party was not happy.
"...How can you guarantee that the Jindan-stage warriors you exchanged here will be loyal to our Country A? Sheng Xingsi is a native citizen of Country A. Although he may be a little disobedient at times, he is more loyal to Country A than those Jindan-stage warriors on the other side who value their sects more than their lives."
Director Yang frowned and said, while Councillor Sarah hit the nail on the head: "-Are you sure that those Jindan-stage cultivators in the cultivation world can still be as ruthless as usual when they see that the people on the other side are from the cultivation world?"
The congressman on the opposite side wanted to say that there would be no conflicts between people from the cultivation world on both sides of country A in the future, but even a fool knew that this could not be true.
As a result, the situation came to a stalemate, and the people in the cultivation world were determined to make Sheng Xingsi's cultivation level crippled.
Country A, on the other hand, wants to provide compensation to keep Shengsi.
As for punishment and so on, that will be something that Senwan will sort out later.
As for Sheng Xingsi himself?
——He is using the wide open key close to my face.
"No way, no way, so fragile? You can't bear to just return what you did to us? Aren't all the cultivators in the cultivation world giant babies?"
His mean words directly stimulated the situation on the field.
Seeing that they were about to fight, Sheng Xingsi wanted to speak, but at this time a figure appeared beside Sheng Xingsi and handcuffed his hands.
Di Wu looked at the young man wearing sunglasses and wanted to struggle, but after seeing the stare of the person who came, he inexplicably became obedient.
“Shut your mouth!”
The official with a red mole on the corner of his eye glared at the young man in sunglasses and finally controlled him.
Unfortunately, it was too late. After a monk couldn't help but punch the other party's security guard in the face, the original peace talks almost turned into a group fight.
As for why it didn’t succeed?
"——If we provide a blueprint for a spiritual weapon that can be used as long as the spiritual power input does not exceed the foundation-building stage, and if we modify it so that your country A can also mass-produce it, are you willing to hand over Sheng Xing Si to us?"
Di Wu finally stood up at this time.
Of course, he also got the permission of Master Qiao. He stared at Sheng Xingsi opposite him, and watched his expression change with satisfaction.
The expressions on the faces of the officials from country A also became subtle.
Everyone in the Civic Party looked unhappy, although they could take advantage of the trend of public opinion, after all, they had protected so many people before.
"——We only want his cultivation, not his life. We can even provide elixirs to preserve his Dantian."
Looking at the excited expressions on the officials' faces, Councillor Sarah knew that the situation was hopeless.
The cultivators in the world of cultivation have already smiled, and Sect Leader Qiao is ready to see whether Sheng Xingsi's cultivation speed is as he expected.
But at this moment, a strange strong wind suddenly appeared outside the door in the territory belonging to Country A.
The security personnel outside thought it was a sudden typhoon or a powerful move by some cultivator.
——Until the wind grew stronger and stronger, and a shadow appeared in the air, blocking out the sun.
The security guard slowly looked up.
It just happened to be facing a huge steel battleship that slowly appeared from mid-air.
Suddenly a voice came from the security guard's intercom.
"Hello, humans from the Middle Ages. We are the joint exploration ship of the Three Kingdoms..."
*
There is no point in negotiating peace, no matter who has a steel battleship hanging over his head!
Even if people in the cultivation world don't know what this thing is, people in China who have watched too many movies will naturally understand that this is definitely not something that can be achieved by modern technology.
——After all, it is really scary when all the electronic devices connected to the Internet and capable of voice broadcasting suddenly say the same thing.
Master Qiao and the others looked at the giant steel ship above them, and their faces suddenly became as gloomy as water.
They didn't know what the big iron block above them was, but they were keenly aware of the threatening aura.
Powerful, and... quite friendly.
Will they help country A?
Sect Leader Qiao and Yan Qing looked at each other and were about to stay here to see the so-called Three Kingdoms joint warship in the "Spirit Boat", but at this time the Wanjietong on their waists suddenly rang.
"Another immortal has arrived. They were deceived by the original newcomers. They quickly brought the children back and removed the marks."
