Chapter 41 Appearance
Zhang Er burst into tears: "My immortals, waah... I beg you, you have really arrested the wrong person. I really just had a few too many drinks and on a whim stole a few gold and silver items. Do you immortals care about such things?"
This person certainly doesn't possess any noble aura, yet this place is indeed the place with the strongest noble aura, and this person just happens to appear.
The discussion yielded no results, and the group fell silent for a moment.
Su Jiangling, who had been standing beside Wei Qiushuang the whole time, said considerately, "Qiushuang, why don't you rest for a while? You've been working hard all day."
Wei Qiushuang looked up at him and smiled: "Thank you, senior brother. However, this place has the strongest spiritual energy, and that demon might jump out at any time. We should be careful."
But the hint of weariness in her tone betrayed her.
"Yes, be sure to tell me if you get tired." Su
Jiang Ling was as understanding as ever.
"it is good."
His junior sister was always so resilient; she never complained about her hardships or exhaustion, which made him feel even more sorry for her.
The people nearby looked on with envy at the interaction between the two.
"Hahahahahaha~"
Su Jiangling opened his mouth as if to say something, but a burst of demonic laughter interrupted him.
The group quickly gathered together, adopted a defensive stance, and warily watched their surroundings.
"Wow~ People from the Immortal Sect are so handsome, they look delicious."
The sound was ethereal and elusive, seemingly coming from all directions.
"Come out, you're playing tricks!"
One of the disciples of the Thousand Caves shouted at the door.
Su Jiangling paused for a moment, then quickly made a hand seal.
"All three thousand orders, take the spirit as the law, bind them!"
A flash of golden light appeared, and a burst of energy followed.
"what!!"
A scream drew everyone's attention.
"southwest!"
Without saying a word, the group rushed southwest, unleashing spells and sword light as they unleashed a barrage of attacks.
"Hehehe~"
"You fooled them so easily!"
The alluring voice rang out again, startling the group.
Su Jiangling also frowned. If this monster could escape from his formation, it must be quite formidable.
This monster is adept at concealing its tracks, and the area illuminated by the talisman light is limited, while the surrounding area is pitch black, making it significantly more difficult to capture.
Among the group, Su Jiangling had the highest cultivation level, but even he failed, and everyone returned to a passive state.
"careful!"
"call out!"
A few thin threads were inserted, and Wei Qiushuang quickly grabbed the person and pulled them aside.
"puff!"
Before the disciple of the Thousand Caves could react, the thin thread pierced through his body and struck his dantian.
Upon seeing this, another person immediately went over and cut the thin thread with a sword, saving the person.
With his dantian destroyed, the man watched helplessly as his spiritual energy rapidly drained away, turning him into a mortal with no strength to even kill a chicken.
Wave after wave of thin threads pierced through the darkness, and the group dodged repeatedly, unable to predict where they would come from.
Everything happened so suddenly that Su Jiangling had to dodge several waves of fine threads before she could react and quickly set up a defensive formation to catch her breath.
"You coward, what kind of coward are you, only capable of underhanded tactics!"
One of the disciples from the Thousand Caves Cave started cursing loudly.
Several people were injured after that attack.
The attacks from outside grew increasingly fierce. Taking advantage of the fact that Su Jiangling's defensive formation had not yet been broken, the group quickly took out pills to restore their energy.
"Damn it, I'm quite good at your array formations! You're got real talent, and you're handsome too. Want to be my furnace for cultivation? I'll treat you well!"
Su Jiangling looked somewhat embarrassed, her mind momentarily unsettled.
"Snapped!"
The formation shattered, and attacks rained down upon us like bamboo shoots in the rain.
"Don't you dare insult my senior brother!"
Wei Qiushuang's expression was cold as she swept away a large swath of fine threads with her sword. With a focused mind, she unleashed a sword strike in one direction, the sword technique falling like a burst of heavenly light.
"Sword intent, it's actually sword intent!"
"How can it be!"
Everyone present was shocked.
Sharp as the wind, shining as brightly as the heavens, he comprehended sword intent at the mere Golden Core stage, truly a genius sword cultivator of the Xuanshan Sect.
Even Su Jiangling, who was standing to the side, was shocked, and a bitter feeling filled her heart.
Junior Sister Wei...when did you master sword intent?
"Damn it! Damn it! How could this be!"
The succubus, who had been hiding in the shadows, finally revealed herself.
Her body was emaciated, her face ugly, and her black clothes covered rotting, stinking flesh beneath her skin, which was completely at odds with her voice.
Wei Qiushuang approached her coldly, sword in hand.
"Wait, wait, I can..."
"puff!"
Before she could say anything, Wei Qiushuang, with a rare expression of anger on her face, sliced off her head with a sword.
……
The people watching from a distance had also lost interest in continuing the performance.
Lu Xihan was only here to confirm one thing, and now that it's confirmed, there's no need for her to stay any longer.
However, Wei Qiushuang's sword intent surprised her. She remembered that it wasn't this early. She would only comprehend it on her next trip to the Mad Sand Secret Realm, which would be several years later. Could it be that she was missing the compensation of the Sui Jade Essence?
Or is Su Jiangling truly that important to her?
“How ridiculous!” Lu Xihan muttered to himself.
"what?"
Xiao Yiyi looked like she hadn't heard clearly.
Lu Xihan collected his thoughts: "It's nothing, I just didn't expect Wei Qiushuang to actually comprehend the sword intent."
"Yeah, I never expected this woman to be so lucky."
Xiao Yiyi pursed her lips indifferently, but the envy in her eyes betrayed her.
"What's so special about that? My talent is no less than hers. Once I refine a fifth-grade pill, you'll all be green with envy."
Yu Yunyang looked disdainful.
Xiao Yiyi scoffed: "Tch, do you think you can just refine fifth-grade pills like that? In the Southern Continent, even in my family, there's only one fifth-grade alchemist. You, who's not even a third-grade alchemist, are dreaming."
A fourth-grade alchemist's limit is being able to refine mid-grade fifth-order pills; if they can, then they are truly exceptional talents.
If we're really going to be precise, only second-grade alchemists can be considered to have truly entered the alchemy industry. First-grade alchemists can only refine some medicinal powders and basic pills and miscellaneous elixirs; second-grade alchemists can refine elixirs with different grades, and the quality of the elixirs will also be greatly improved.
"Alright, alright, there's too much going on here. Let's go back first, and we can argue again when we get back."
Lu Xihan was extremely annoyed by the two of them who could start fighting at any moment.
next day
Wei Qiushuang and her group went to their next training location early, while Lu Xihan and his two companions stayed overnight in Huangshui Village. The two groups never met again after that encounter, as neither of them took a liking to the other.
Lu Xihan stayed for her own selfish reasons. She was really unwilling to have come all this way and gained nothing. Xiao Yiyi and Yu Yunyang had come with her, so if she stayed, they naturally stayed too.
The succubus has been bound, and the yellow sand in Huangshui Village has never risen again since that day. The murder cases in Huangshui Village and Lihua Town have also been solved.
Undeterred, Lu Xihan explored the stream outside Huangshui Village twice more, but still found nothing. He had no choice but to give up and take his two little chicks, who were always fighting over things, to continue their travels.
At least the female lead didn't get the Suiyu Essence; it seems it was taken by the Demon Lord, which is neither a blessing nor a curse.
It seems the butterfly effect is quite significant this time. You can't force something that isn't yours. Lu Xihan sighed deeply as she watched the two fighting again in front of her.
Anyway, someone has already taken the succubus's mission back for her, so no one will say anything if she returns to the sect later.
The three of them traveled around Penglai Gorge, bickering and making noise, looking for things that could help them eliminate demons and protect the righteous path, and also broadening their horizons along the way.
They were completely unaware that an ordinary-looking person was following them all along.
Liu Xingxing followed them at a distance, trying to come up with a suitable reason to deliver Suiyu to Lu Xihan.
After all, Sui Yu saved the female lead's life more than once in the middle and later stages of the novel. If the female lead hadn't died earlier with Sui Yu's help, Liu Xingxing was afraid that the world would have been destroyed immediately, and then there would have been no way to save the world.
After all, if the female lead's god-like parents knew that she had died in this world, they might go completely insane.
After all, they've gone so far as to create an entire world just for the female lead.
As for why they didn't wait until they returned to the sect to give it to her, wouldn't that just expose that someone from the same sect had been following them? With the female lead's overpowered abilities, she would probably uncover her identity sooner or later. After all, Xuanshan Sect is such a small place, and they would see each other every day.
It's safer to just pretend to be an ordinary passerby outside.
Liu Xingxing didn't want to compete with Lu Xihan for such an opportunity. If she really wanted to, she wouldn't have left her a single penny back in the Shangyuan Secret Realm.
Little Suiyu took a big bite of the glutinous rice ball held in her hands. The sweet taste made her big eyes even brighter and rounder. Coupled with her cute green outfit, it was impossible not to like her at first glance.
After quickly finishing the glutinous rice ball in her hand, Sui Yu looked up at the woman standing next to her, dressed in the most ordinary clothes imaginable, and reached out her small hand to tug at the corner of her clothes.
"What's wrong?"
Liu Xingxing withdrew her gaze from the three people not far away and looked at little Sui Yu.
