The voice was urgent, as if something important had been taken away from them.
As the voice approached, Shi Xuan glanced around and saw a middle-aged man with a long beard rushing towards them. His face was flushed, and he carried a trace of the aura of a three-legged golden crow. Clearly, he was the one who wanted to forcibly form a contract with the golden crow.
Seeing that he was about to rush over, Shi Xuan had a thought and released the red-haired man, along with eight puppets.
Red Hair hadn't been out to play for a long time, so he was very excited. With a roar, he charged towards the middle-aged male cultivator and slapped him with his palm.
The male cultivator was determined to stop Shi Xuan from ruining his grand plan. When he was blocked by the red-haired man, he immediately flew into a rage and launched a counterattack, wanting to quickly defeat the red-haired man.
Red Hair wasn't so easy to deal with either; he braved the opponent's attacks and charged forward, looking as if he wanted to die together with him.
Behind the cultivator, several more people arrived, but were blocked by the puppet.
Then, another three-legged golden crow that had been in the distance saw this situation and rushed out. It was not one to be trifled with. Before, it had been hesitant to act recklessly because its mate had been captured, but now it didn't care about that anymore. It spewed a mouthful of solar fire at the middle-aged cultivator who was leading the group and had drunk its mate's blood.
The three-legged golden crow is the guardian beast of the sun. Its fire is different from ordinary flames. If you touch it, it feels like it will burn into your soul, giving you the feeling that it can burn everything in the world.
The middle-aged cultivator was confronting the red-haired man when, caught off guard, he was burned from behind by the three-legged golden crow, and immediately let out a violent scream.
He channeled all his spiritual power to resist the sun's fire's corrosive influence, but just when he managed to extinguish one wave, the second wave came.
The three-legged golden crow now hates him the most, and is single-mindedly chasing him and spewing fire. The cultivator's hair and beard are burned, and he looks disheveled and filthy.
The [Newcomer] organization prioritizes secrecy; in the past, if their stronghold was discovered, they would immediately retreat without leaving a trace. But this time, because their leader couldn't let go of the Three-Legged Golden Crow he was about to obtain, he refused to retreat immediately, which allowed Shi Xuan to see so many members of the [Newcomer] organization.
This was the first time she had seen so many new students. There were at least twenty of them, led by a late-stage Golden Core cultivator, with a cultivation level similar to Shi Xuan's. The rest ranged from Foundation Establishment to Golden Core.
Just as these people were fighting against the puppets and spirit beasts, Shi Xuan's formation was completed!
A flash of golden light appeared, the formation suddenly stopped, and then the bloodstains on the ground seemed to be gathered up. The scattered spiritual energy reversed direction, carrying with it the spiritual energy from the high-grade spirit stones announced by Shi, and fed back to the golden crow in the center of the formation.
Although it cannot restore the golden crow to its original state, it can at least make it more energetic.
Upon seeing this sight, the leader's eyes widened in fury. He had gone to great lengths to obtain the three-legged golden crow!
Just one step away, only one step away. He has already drunk two of the three days' worth of blood. This is the last day. The golden crow's condition has reached its limit. If there are no accidents, this three-legged golden crow will become his contracted beast today, and it will be a master-servant contracted beast!
But now, everything is ruined!
Where did this spy come from? He actually managed to destroy his beast-taming formation! If he had known this would happen, he should have killed him long ago. Why did he let him live until today!
Indeed, in his eyes, Shi Xuan was still his clumsy subordinate.
The leader looked at the destroyed formation and almost spat out a mouthful of blood. He had violated the organization's rules just for this three-legged golden crow, but in the end, he had lost everything and gained nothing!
If I had known this would happen, I would have been better off just retreating.
But now that things have come to this, there's no point in dwelling on it anymore; the destruction of the Golden Crow is a foregone conclusion.
The leader gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead, and gestured to his other men: "Retreat!"
"Want to leave?" Shi Xuan laughed, "Not so easy!"
As she spoke, she drew her sword and joined the battle.
The addition of the strongest fighter instantly reversed the Jinwu's disadvantageous position, turning them into the dominant force.
The leader was already struggling to withstand the attack from the three-legged golden crow, and Shi Xuan's arrival only made things worse. In less than a quarter of an hour, he was captured alive by Shi Xuan.
After Shi Xuan took control of the leader, the other henchmen were easier to deal with and were quickly wiped out.
Because many of the members of the "New Life" organization captured in the western border of Qian Yuan had committed suicide, the first thing Shi Xuan did after taking control of them was to dislocate their jaws and search for hidden poisons.
Surprisingly, none of the members of the organization at the bottom of the cliff hid any poison in their mouths. It seemed that they believed that this secluded place at the bottom of the cliff was the safest place, and that no one would find them, so they did not need to be on guard at all times.
Shi Xuan tied everyone up and threw them all into the silver frost, to be interrogated later.
The three-legged golden crow placed in the beast-taming formation had recovered some strength, and the other one, having finished its battle, hurriedly flew to its side and wrapped its wings around its mate.
Shi Xuan took out a Rejuvenation Pill and gave it to the injured Golden Crow. It was able to stand up quickly, but it would take time to fully recover.
With this matter settled, Shi Xuan took the puppet and the red-haired man and walked along the path to the other end.
The other end of the path led to an underground area, where an array was set up at the entrance, but Shi Xuan easily broke it.
As you walk down into the underground passage from the entrance, luminous pearls are placed at intervals along the way, casting shadowy shadows and giving off an ominous atmosphere.
Eye totems are everywhere; the entire wall, ceiling, and utensils are all engraved with their iconic eye totems. Shi Xuan felt that he was really suppressed outside, so he took revenge by enlarging their totem images in his own territory where he could do whatever he wanted.
As you continue walking down, you get a sense of familiarity with the underground of the Hidden Sect. Along the way, there are rooms on both sides where these people live. It's clear that they live very simply, have no hobbies of their own, wear the same two sets of clothes, and have very few cultivation resources.
Shi Xuan frowned. This was probably the power of mind control.
At the end of the passage was a circular open space connected to several rooms, exactly the same as the secret passage she had explored with her master in the market. The first room contained a snow-white three-tailed fox demon beast. The three-tailed fox, which was originally a ferocious beast, was now drowsy and looked like it hadn't woken up yet, so it was probably controlled by some kind of secret technique.
The second to fifth rooms were all larger, and they looked like their laboratories. Inside, there were various spiritual plants and materials, some semi-finished pills on the worktable, as well as some books on array formations and array diagrams they had drawn.
