Volume 6: Wangchuan Chapter 22 Conspiracy
In the huge and empty hall, there are wooden chairs arranged in a circle.
The faces of the monks sitting on the wooden chairs were all extremely unfamiliar and gloomy.
"Master Jiuyou, according to our informants, the disciples of the Sword Sect have arrived at Zangling today and entered the Qiu family to inquire about the situation, just as we expected." Hei Luo reported respectfully.
"Have you found out how many people are coming and their identities?" The Lord of Jiuyou Palace said in a hoarse voice.
"There are two people from the Sword Sect this time. One has an ordinary appearance, restrained cultivation, and unknown means. His specific information is not in our intelligence database. He should not be the cultivator we focus on. He is just an ordinary disciple of the Sword Sect. The other cultivator is very famous." A sinister smile appeared on Hei Luo's pale face.
"What do you mean?" The Lord of Jiuyou Palace became interested after hearing this.
"The other cultivator is Ji Chuan, the Haoran Sword who ranks first on the Yellow List." Hei Luo said firmly.
"Ji Chuan," the Lord of Jiuyou Palace repeated the name and immediately laughed coldly, "In that case, it can be considered an unexpected gain. This Ji Chuan has been at the top of our Underworld's Nascent Soul cultivator bounty list for some time. This time, let's take him as a bonus."
As for Ji Chuan, they had long wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible.
However, Ji Chuan is at the top of the list of fourth-level cultivators, and ordinary fifth-level cultivators are no match for him.
If a strong warrior among the Void Refining cultivators were sent to ambush and kill Ji Chuan, although Ji Chuan would be defeated, it is well known that the speed of sword cultivators in wielding swords is the best among the six cultivators.
In addition, the methods of the Sword Sect disciples are unpredictable, so it is highly likely that Ji Chuan will not have any problem escaping.
However, once he takes action, he will not be able to kill Ji Chuan quickly and erase all traces in a very short time. By the time the human race's support reacts and arrives, the cultivator from the underworld will be dead.
If one is unlucky and is able to uncover more information, it is very likely that an entire temple of underworld monks will be implicated.
In this situation, the underworld would not easily take action against Ji Chuan unless they were sure of killing him.
If one wants to kill Ji Chuan, one must send out a cultivator at the sixth level, that is, a spirit transformation cultivator, to have 100% certainty.
But after all, this is the human territory, and the movements of the monks in the underworld are restricted everywhere.
The Divine Transformation cultivators are all people of extremely high status even in the underworld. One must know that the existence of the rank of the Lord of a state-level branch hall is equivalent to the Refining Void cultivation level.
For a cultivator in the underworld who has reached the level of a spirit being, the cost and time spent on arranging his identity is undoubtedly extremely high.
In addition, the higher the realm of the cultivators, the fewer there are and the more obvious their methods are. Once they take action, the possibility of exposing their identities is greater. This is one aspect.
On the other hand, the existence of such a Divine Transformation cultivator is related to all aspects of life, and as the saying goes, a single move can affect the entire body, so they cannot be easily lost.
Your underworld planned to ambush and kill the human genius, but are you sure that the human genius might be deliberately revealing his whereabouts and using himself as bait to lure the underworld to take action?
The underworld has suffered this kind of thing and this kind of loss before.
On those occasions, he acted rashly against the talented human cultivators out of impulse and blindness, without careful consideration.
The result was an ambush, which eventually led to the annihilation of several state-level branch temples, resulting in heavy losses, and a thousand years of preparation and lurking were wasted.
With this kind of precedent as a lesson, whenever the cultivators in the underworld take action, they are either extremely cautious and make adequate preparations, or they aim to exchange their children from the very beginning.
When exchanging pieces, there must always be a rate of return.
If you send a Divine Transformation cultivator to cause trouble for a being like Ji Chuan, if he falls into an ambush, all your efforts will be in vain. How could the underworld be willing to gamble with a Divine Transformation cultivator?
Gambling with the life of a Jindan cultivator just to get rid of a Yuanying cultivator?
The monks in the underworld are not crazy.
Therefore, even though the cultivators from the underworld had endless murderous intentions towards Ji Chuan, due to this embarrassing situation, in most cases, they could only let Ji Chuan do what he wanted.
The situation of the talented cultivators of the human race is actually basically the same as Ji Chuan's. Generally speaking, they are still free and open.
After all, it can't be said that in the human territory, the human cultivators are frightened by an underworld lurking in the dark and dare not leave the sect, right?
…
"The time is almost at the critical point. Let's prepare for action, and make a quick decision. Before the next batch of people from the Sword Sect arrives, we must make sure everything is in place! If this action goes smoothly, even the Sword Sect will be seriously injured." The Lord of Jiuyou Palace stood up and gave orders in a cold voice.
There was a hint of complacency in his tone, "If we, a small provincial palace, can really accomplish this, even the headquarters will look upon us with new eyes!"
No wonder he is so pleased with himself.
An existence of the Sword Sect's level is filled with killers. Even the Underworld Headquarters dare not confront it head-on.
And if their plan this time can be successful, the Sword Sect will suffer severely.
This is a tremendous achievement, and also a great strategy to defeat the powerful with the weak!
At this time, other high-level demon cultivators also stood up, and like the "Nine Nether Palace Master", they pressed their hands on their chests and spoke in a solemn and fanatical voice:
"The devil has no form, and everything is wonderful. Joy, sorrow , and sadness will all return to dust!"
…
In front of a small source stone orchid vein, the figures of Lu Qingshan and Ji Chuan slowly fell.
Most of the hundreds of cultivation families, big and small, in Zangling were established relying on the Yuanshilan mine.
Of course, the Yuanshilan mine occupied by the Qiu family is the largest and most productive one.
This time, the mineral vein that Lu Qingshan and Ji Chuan came to belonged to the Luo family.
The Luo family is a small family ranked at the bottom of Zangling. The most powerful cultivator in the family is only at the early stage of Jindan.
Naturally, the mineral vein it possesses is only a small one.
The source monsters entrenched in this small mineral vein are not very powerful and their numbers are not large.
"According to Patriarch Qiu, as soon as these source monsters are wiped out, a new batch of source monsters will immediately emerge from the source and make a comeback."
Ji Chuan said in a deep voice: "The question is, how do these returning source monsters know that the previous batch of source monsters were wiped out? There must be some hidden hand that we don't know about."
"And if we can find this hidden hand, we may be able to get a glimpse of the whole picture and find out the context of this matter."
"Then let's practice with the source monsters in this small mine and see how those source monsters make a comeback." Lu Qingshan said coldly.
Ji Chuan nodded, "Then let's do it."
The two men rushed into the mine without hesitation .
In the Qiu family's mine, the source monsters are quite powerful, and there are even more than one fifth-grade source monsters. Naturally, they have to be cautious.
But in this small mineral vein, there were at most third-grade source monsters. To them, slaughtering them was as easy as chopping melons and vegetables, so they didn't have to worry too much.
For the sake of efficiency, the two even took the initiative to create a lot of noise after entering the mine to attract the source monster to appear.
"If all the source monsters that invaded Burial Ridge were attacked by evil spirits like the source monsters in the Qiu family's mine, these source monsters would still attack us fearlessly even if they knew that there was a huge gap in strength between them and us," said Lu Qingshan.
Ji Chuan nodded slowly.
A moment later, several scarlet eyes appeared around and pounced towards Lu Qingshan without hesitation.
Lu Qingshan took a deep breath, "Sure enough...the source monsters that invaded Burial Ridge were all corrupted by evil spirits."
whoosh!
The next moment, his mind moved, and the sword energy suddenly flew out of his body, flashing like a flying sword.
A source demon pounced towards Lu Qingshan, flew into the air, and was about to roar, when a sword flashed and a huge gap appeared on its neck, with blood splattering.
The blood rain was drifting.
To deal with these source monsters, Lu Qingshan didn't need to use his flying sword at all. He could easily end them with just the sword energy.
whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Three more sword energy threads flew out, ruthlessly reaping the fragile life of the source demon.
A moment later, the several source monsters that had just gathered were wiped out.
Seeing this, Lu Qingshan was not satisfied, but continued to walk deeper into the mine with Ji Chuan, constantly clearing out the source monsters occupying the mine along the way.
All the way to the bottom of the vein, a huge snake-shaped source monster of the third late stage appeared before them, lurking in the richest part of the vein.
The snake-shaped source demon was just like the one they had seen in the Qiu family's mine before. It was constantly devouring and absorbing the yellow spring death energy in the mine, spitting out its scarlet snake tongue and looking at Lu Qingshan.
Seeing this, Lu Qingshan just snorted coldly.
"out!"
A flash of lightning passed by, and the Peach Blossom Sword flew out of the body.
The sword intent of Silence penetrated and condensed in the sword, and the Peach Blossom Sword suddenly shot towards the snake-shaped source monster.
The snake-shaped source monster is covered with a layer of gray-yellow scales, which looks extremely hard.
But it didn't work.
When the flying sword collided with the snake monster's scales, a cold light flashed on the Peach Blossom Sword.
A sharp sense of extinction burst out in an instant.
Destroy everything.
The hard protective scales that were touched by the tip of the Peach Blossom Sword did not even produce sparks, and simply turned into nothingness.
Following this trajectory, the flying sword pierced through the snake monster's vital points.
Covered in blood, killed with one strike!
