Chapter 237 Sending you all on your way
The rogue cultivators poured into the Flying Snow Sect.
Like a locust swarm, they plunder all resources.
The three late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, including Mr. Xiao, didn't even glance at the ordinary resources and directly led their subordinates to attack the core of the Flying Snow Sect.
That was where Master Qianxue rested.
Upon realizing that the third-order formation had been broken, Shi Yutong had no time to make any further arrangements. She immediately ordered all the Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Flying Snow Sect to gather here and rely on the formation at the core of the spiritual land to defend it.
Other disciples and resources are no longer important.
After losing her father, she couldn't afford to lose her mother too. Even if she lost everything, she would protect her mother.
"kill!"
"boom!"
……
The shouts of cultivators, the explosions of spells, and the clanging of magical artifacts rang out continuously.
Thunderous attacks relentlessly emanated from within the magic array, hurtling towards the rogue cultivators outside. The rogue cultivators, not to be outdone, repeatedly wielded their magical artifacts to bombard the array's protective barrier, causing its light to gradually dim.
However, neither the Seven Fairies of the North Pole nor Long Jie came.
The rogue cultivators who came to attack the Flying Snow Sect's secret vault were roughly equal in strength to the Flying Snow Sect. With all their methods employed, they only had a slight advantage. Completely breaking through the formation would not be something that could be done in a short time.
Upon seeing this, someone couldn't help but shout, "Where's Long Jie? He tricked us into coming here, why hasn't he shown up yet?"
"Not only Long Jie, but the Seven Immortals of the North Pole are also nowhere to be found!" someone else said.
"Everyone, use whatever means you have, otherwise if we fight to the death, they'll be the ones to come out and reap the benefits."
"That's right! Let's use our methods together!"
……
Just as a great battle broke out in the core secret realm of the Flying Snow Sect.
Long Jie, however, was flying rapidly towards a secluded area far from the core of the Flying Snow Sect. He killed any Flying Snow Sect Qi Refining stage disciples he encountered along the way to prevent the news from leaking out.
He glanced occasionally at the violent commotion erupting in the distance, a mocking look in his eyes: "Rogue cultivators are just rogue cultivators. A mere Core Formation spiritual item is enough to make them risk their lives. If they knew what the Flying Snow Sect's true treasure was, heh..."
He sped along at high speed, and in no time he appeared above a medicinal herb garden covering nearly a thousand acres.
This medicinal herb garden is located at the foot of a small mountain a hundred feet high, with several streams flowing into it, exuding a misty spiritual energy. The area around the garden is deserted, without a single building, making it look exceptionally remote.
Although the place is remote, the concentration of spiritual energy is astonishingly high, almost comparable to the spiritual eye grounds where the two Core Formation cultivators practice.
Long Jie looked down at the pale blue barrier below, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes.
Immediately, he took out a talisman with strange patterns from his storage bag. It was a second-tier barrier-breaking talisman that he had specially prepared.
The array that covers the herb garden is only a second-tier high-grade one.
A second-tier barrier-breaking talisman is enough!
Just as he was about to tear open the talisman and break the formation below, a hairpin-shaped magic weapon suddenly flew out from within the formation and stabbed towards him at high speed.
Clearly, the cultivators guarding the herb garden had noticed his plan to break the formation and were trying to stop him.
"Oh, so there's still a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator guarding this place?" Long Jie looked slightly surprised, but then he smiled. "But you alone can't stop me!"
brush!
A red light flew out from his storage bag and instantly engaged in combat with the hairpin magic weapon, while Long Jie continued to try to break the formation at his own pace.
……
In the sky.
Seven figures flew past one after another.
The scholar in white robes held the treasure-hunting beast in his hands, guiding the group in the right direction.
Suddenly, he spoke up: "Brother, according to the treasure-hunting beast's senses, the cultivator carrying the treasure is not far ahead!"
"Well done!" The triangular-faced old man praised generously, his face showing excitement.
He hoped that the cultivator was carrying "Qionghua Liquid," which might allow him to attempt to break through to the Core Formation stage within the next ten years.
Of course, it doesn't matter if it's not "Qionghua Liquid" but some other third-tier item.
He could easily take this third-tier item and exchange it for Core Formation spiritual items elsewhere.
"Brother, after that cultivator left the Flying Snow Sect, for some reason, he seems to have stayed in the same place and never left." The white-robed scholar looked puzzled. "I'm worried that someone might be setting a trap for us."
As the team's strategist, he habitually considers things more thoroughly.
The current situation seemed rather strange, so naturally he began to have doubts.
"You haven't left yet?" The triangular-faced old man hesitated upon hearing this, but with the opportunity to form the core right in front of him, he certainly couldn't give up just because of a few strange things.
He said calmly, "It's possible that person is planning to hide until the chaos subsides. In any case, let's go check it out first. If it's a trap, we'll retreat!"
"good!"
The others all agreed with his idea.
After a while.
The seven people stopped above the location sensed by the treasure-hunting beast. The triangular-faced old man scanned the area below and found that it was just an ordinary courtyard.
After a while.
The seven people stopped above the location sensed by the treasure-hunting beast. The triangular-faced old man scanned the area below and found that it was just an ordinary courtyard.
There wasn't even a defensive formation; it was extremely rudimentary and didn't look like a trap at all.
The seven people exchanged glances, and finally the triangular-faced old man nodded, his vast divine sense, honed in the late Foundation Establishment stage, sweeping downwards.
Upon seeing this, the triangular-faced old man's face immediately showed a strange expression: "It's him."
His divine sense probe was immediately detected by Li Ping, who was hiding in the courtyard.
Whoosh!
He crashed through the roof and flew out of the yard.
Suspended in mid-air, he looked around and immediately spotted seven figures that seemed to be surrounding the small courtyard where he was.
The moment he saw the seven figures clearly, his pupils contracted slightly: "It's you."
This subtly surrounded him among the seven people, and among them were three of his acquaintances.
He was separated from his snowman twin neighbors, Bai Yi and Bai Jing, and Xie Xing, the rogue cultivator who had invited him to explore the ruins of the Tianqiao Sect!
Seeing this, he immediately understood that he had been targeted by this group of people.
"Master Li Ping, you've really given us a good search." The triangular-faced old man looked at Li Ping with amusement. "I never expected to run into you here by such a coincidence. I must say, we are destined to meet!"
"Two late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, three mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, and two early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators!" Li Ping scanned the surroundings with his divine sense and had already sensed the cultivation levels of the seven people.
As he flew out, Li Ping flipped his hand, and the Blood Banner was already in his grasp.
*Whoosh!* *Whoosh!* *Whoosh!*
The three second-tier high-grade puppets, A1, A2, and A3, also appeared instantly, surrounding him in the middle.
A golden light and a blood-red light flew out from his storage bag, transforming into a purple-gold flying fork and a blood-red light shield, respectively, which hovered around him within a range of several feet.
Having done all this, he coldly raised his head, his gaze sweeping over the seven people: "Fellow Daoists Bai and Xie, could you please tell me what's going on here?"
What Li Ping did was actually completed in a very short time.
The seven people were either confident that they could take him down, or they simply didn't have time to stop him and could only watch helplessly as he took out puppets and magical artifacts.
Furthermore, the puppet's rank cannot be determined when its power is not activated.
Therefore, everyone who received information about Bai Yi and her sister assumed it was a first-tier puppet and didn't take it seriously.
Bai Yi chuckled and said, "Brother Li, you've misunderstood. I simply admire your alchemy skills and wish to ask you to refine some pills for me."
"Is it really that simple, just refining pills?" Li Ping's eyes were icy.
He had only been gone from the Flying Snow Sect for a short time when the seven of them came looking for him, which showed that he had been marked at some point.
Li Ping considered himself to be extremely cautious, but even with such caution, he had yet to find the mark.
He couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "Truly, one should not underestimate the people of this world!"
Upon hearing Li Ping's cold question, Bai Yi's eyes darted around, and she said calmly, "Brother Li is a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. For safety's sake, I hope that before you begin refining the pills, you can hand over your storage bag to me and allow me to set up any restrictions. What do you think, Brother Li?"
The value of a high-level alchemist is immeasurable.
If Li Ping is truly willing to hand over the storage bag and allow the Seven Immortals of the North Pole to set up control restrictions, they would be happy to spare Li Ping's life.
Of course, from then on, Li Ping could only live as one of them, the "Dan Nu".
"Then I, Li, should thank Fairy Bai!" Li Ping said sarcastically.
The moment Li Ping took out the Blood Banner, he was already secretly spreading the 'Blood-Eating Poison'.
However, the Blood-Corroding Poison takes effect relatively slowly. Since Bai Yi is willing to chat with him now, he doesn't mind continuing the conversation to prolong the time until the poison takes effect.
Upon hearing Li Ping's sarcasm, Bai Yi was about to speak again when the triangular-faced old man interrupted her: "Alright, Fifth Sister, Fellow Daoist Li Ping is a high-level alchemist. If you continue to say such things, he will get angry. I think we should send him to reincarnation as soon as possible."
His murderous intent was evident in his words!
Upon hearing this, Li Ping not only showed no fear but also revealed a smile: "I think it's more appropriate for me to say this. I'll escort you on your journey, so you'll have company along the way."
"What nonsense are you spouting? I think you've lost your mind!" The tall barbarian sneered, "This barbarian master..."
Before he could finish speaking, he found that his mouth was suddenly out of control, and his whole body was feeling numb.
The barbarian's physique is superior to that of ordinary humans, and his resistance to toxins is also higher. Not far from him, Bai Yi, Xie Xing, and the other three were even more vulnerable.
Especially Bai Yi, who was in the early stages of Foundation Establishment, was bleeding from all seven orifices and looked ferocious.
Only the triangular-faced old man and the white-robed scholar, both in the late Foundation Establishment stage, were not greatly affected; they only felt slightly sluggish and their internal magical energy flow was somewhat obstructed.
The triangular-faced old man, by this point, knew exactly what had happened, and he couldn't help but curse, "Despicable! You actually poisoned me!"
Li Ping shook his head dismissively.
Jia Yi and Jia Er activated their Spirit Ruler Talisman and Void Seal Talisman respectively, attacking the two late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, the triangular-faced old man and the white-robed scholar.
Meanwhile, Jia San, wielding the Soul-Destroying Greatsword, transformed into a streak of light and charged straight at the remaining five poisoned cultivators!
