Chapter 47 Countdown to the Insect Plague... [New book, please read!]
Almost all the Qi Refining Level 13 cultivators who received the transmission talisman did not hesitate at all. After receiving the message from the talisman, they immediately got up and went outside!
Swish!Swish!Swish!
Meng De, who was hiding behind a boulder in the distance, watched as more than a dozen Qi Refining Level 13 trial participants flew directly over his head on their swords. He was slightly puzzled, wondering where they were headed.
"Has a rare treasure been born?" Meng De looked in the direction the crowd had left, his eyes flickering slightly.
Looking back at the cave entrance sealed by the Five Elements Restriction, Meng De pondered for a moment, then, under the cover of Meng Wen's aura, ran in the direction Bai Yunsheng and the others had headed.
In the Crimson Forbidden Land, the Dream Mosquito was arguably Mengde's best source blood flying mosquito. Its special talent allowed Mengde to become virtually invisible to the spiritual senses of Qi Refining cultivators. Unless Mengde was directly seen with the naked eye, the Seven Sect Trialists at the thirteenth level of Qi Refining would generally not be able to detect Mengde's aura.
However, despite having the Dream Mosquito to conceal his aura, Mengde found that his movement speed was not fast. Although he could move swiftly on the ground by casting the basic spell [Light Body Technique] on himself, as a Qi Refining Level 10 cultivator at the bottom of the Blood Forbidden Land's food chain, Mengde's running speed on the ground was definitely not as fast as others who could fly at low altitudes.
This is why Mengde remained silent throughout, using scouts and flying mosquitoes to avoid the crowd, and avoiding making any noise if possible.
Either you remain undetected throughout the entire process, or... if you are discovered, escape will be difficult.
It took Meng De two hours to catch up to the outer edge of the core area. At that moment, Meng De discovered that in the thick fog and dark clouds, more than ten disciples of the Seven Sects at the thirteenth level of Qi Refining were fighting each other!
No, it should be six sects. The trial disciples of the Hidden Moon Sect have not participated yet. Meng De guessed that the reason why the Hidden Moon Sect disciples did not participate in the melee was probably because their captain, Nangong Wan, had disappeared.
Meng De secretly observed for a while, and suddenly he seemed to see something, his eyes widening slightly.
In the midst of the chaos, he spotted two familiar figures: Bai Yunsheng and Yunxi!
Just then, a man with blood still lingering at the corner of his mouth, wearing a Tianque Fortress uniform and possessing the aura of a Qi Refining thirteenth level cultivator, rushed out of an abandoned stone hall and shouted to the others, "Stop fucking fighting! That spirit herb was stolen by that bitch from Spirit Beast Mountain!"
Feng Yue's words from Tianque Fortress instantly caused a dramatic reversal in the atmosphere! All the other cultivators at the thirteenth level of Qi Refining turned their gazes toward Yunxi from the Spirit Beast Mountain camp!
"This won't be easy to take..." Bai Yunsheng unfurled a pair of flying magical artifacts with transparent wings on his back, landed behind Yunxi, and frowned slightly as he looked at the blatant greed in the eyes of the other experts of the same realm.
He came here because of the communication talisman Yunxi gave him, but when he arrived, he saw Yunxi being besieged by a group of people from Tianque Fort. He tried to help her out, but the two of them ended up being surrounded by the group.
If it weren't for the fact that the senior sister of Qingling Peak was a weapon refiner, and Bai Yunsheng was very lucky to obtain an extremely rare high-grade flying magic weapon with a speed far exceeding that of others at the same level, he would not have wanted to accept such a deadly commission.
But as Feng Yue, who had miraculously survived in the underground medicine garden, revealed to everyone that Yunxi possessed the Seven-Leaf Yin Blood Ganoderma, Bai Yunsheng discovered that, apart from the people from Tianque Fortress, people from other sects such as Giant Sword Sect, Huadaowu, and Qingxu Sect were all eyeing them.
"I owe Senior Sister Qingli a favor, but the current situation... is clearly heading towards certain death..." Bai Yunsheng looked at the nearly twenty cultivators at the thirteenth level of Qi Refining from the five major sects not far away, and couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.
"..." Yunxi didn't speak. She also had a flying magic artifact on her back. She landed on the top of an ancient tree and looked up at the five sects' trial disciples who surrounded her from all directions. She glanced at the clusters of black mist on the outer edge of the core area and suddenly had some ideas in her mind.
Although she is now being targeted by trial disciples from other sects, Yunxi is not entirely without a chance of victory. Unlike the trial disciples from other sects who only learned of their possession of a super spiritual herb at the last minute, Yunxi had known about it for a long time.
"You wretched woman from Spirit Beast Mountain, hand over that spirit herb you have, and I might consider leaving you a whole corpse!" After taking a healing pill, Feng Yue of Tianque Fortress glared fiercely at Yun Xi in the distance, wishing he could devour her alive.
He was originally the first to discover the underground herb garden, but he was ambushed and betrayed by Yunxi, who almost sent him to meet the ancestors of the Feng family. How could Feng Yue not feel resentful about this?
"...If we hand over the spirit herbs, how will you distribute them among so many of you?" Yunxi paused for a moment, then looked up at the crowd.
"..." The people surrounding Yunxi looked at each other, exchanging glances and seeing a hint of doubt in each other's eyes.
In fact, most of them didn't know what kind of precious spiritual herb Yunxi had collected; they had only heard that it was a herb even more precious than a Foundation Establishment Pill...
However, if there was only one herb, they realized that this seemingly unbreakable temporary alliance might fall apart the moment Yunxi handed over the herb.
"Don't fall for that woman's trick! How that spiritual herb is ultimately distributed is a matter for later. Right now, the most urgent thing is to retrieve the herb, or kill her!" Feng Yue shouted angrily, drawing everyone's attention back to Yun Xi.
"Didn't the others come?" Yunxi asked Bai Yunsheng behind her in a low voice as she saw the Qi Refining Level 13 trial disciples once again unify their goals.
"They... at most they can help intercept them in the chaos..." Bai Yunsheng shook his head with a solemn expression. Only four disciples at the thirteenth level of Qi Refining from Spirit Beast Mountain participated in the Blood Forbidden Land Trial. The other two dared not show themselves now, and Bai Yunsheng felt that they could not be relied upon in the future.
"Big sister, boss, leader... you absolutely have to have some trump cards up your sleeve... otherwise we might be doomed..." Bai Yunsheng sighed as he looked at Yunxi's retreating figure.
"It's nothing..." Yunxi shook her head slightly, glanced at the other pursuers, and her gaze turned cold: "Then come and try!"
"Go!" Yunxi sneered, then took the lead in activating the flying artifact on her back, and together with Bai Yunsheng, they transformed into a streak of light and flew towards the valley outside the forbidden area!
"She's trying to get to the entrance! Don't let her get away! Chase her!" Feng Yue shouted angrily, then summoned his flying sword and chased after Yunxi. Seeing this, the others also took out their flying swords and flying boats and chased after her towards the outer edge of the valley!
Meng De, silently observing everything from the dense forest below, finally looked up at the outer edge of the valley, pondered for a moment, and then sighed.
"Senior sister, hold on..." Meng De estimated the time; it wasn't the right time for him to make a move yet.
