Xiao Qi tried to break the array and plunder the spirit dog. However, just as her spell was about to take shape, a strong change in the surrounding spiritual energy interrupted her spell. Xiao Qi frowned and withdrew her right hand. Then, she heard a woman's voice reverberating in the valley.
"Zen Master Gourou, you're really bold. You actually dare to come to my Grand Cloud Mountain. Don't you know this is a dead end?"
While speaking, in the air, a slender figure appeared in their line of sight. That person was obviously the Elder of the Grand Cloud Mountain Division of the Beast Master School. Through the teleportation array, he released an astonishing imposing manner as soon as he appeared. His enormous magical power was like a surging tide, surging and surging violently. It was like the tide contained a profound rhythm. With just this one move, he revealed his peak Gold Core stage cultivation level.
"Tsk, look at what you've done. You've provoked a question mark level old monster!" Wang Lu helplessly sighed. His right hand has already reached into his mustard seed bag. Inside was a Spirit Sword Heavenly Talisman, which could, at the critical moment, ignore any imprisonment and directly send him back to the mountain. Its effect was simple, direct, and violent. In Wang Lu's view, it was as defying as the save point. It was his trump card as a professional adventurer.
However, once he used this trump card, his professional adventurer's reputation would be smashed by half. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he would not consider it. However, in the face of a peak level King Pill opponent, if he didn't use it, he would die.
If not for the unfathomable Zen Master Gourou by his side, he would've immediately activated the heavenly talisman and brought Liu Li back to the mountain to take refuge. He simply couldn't let a peak level King Pill person make the first move.
"Humph, what's there to be afraid of? It's just a mere peak level King Pill."
Senior Xiao Qi curled her lips in disdain.
Wang Lu finally made up his mind, thinking, "Sure enough, she's my Master's friend, so her strength is very high. A mere peak level King Pill is an insurmountable peak for a middle-level Foundation Establishment cultivator, but for a senior, it's just a novice village guard."
Looking at the slender figure in the air again, Wang Lu couldn't help but exclaim, "Catwoman!?"
It turned out that the Beast Master School Elder who appeared to suppress the scene was actually a cat-eared girl. She seemed to be only twelve or thirteen years old, even more immature than Liu Li. The two furry ears on her head were exceptionally quick-witted, and there were several strands of whiskers on her cheeks that constantly trembled along with the girl's mouth opening and closing when she spoke. There were also the sharp nails on both of her hands, all of which showed the inhuman characteristics.
Most likely, it really wasn't a human cultivator, but a spirit cat … This kind of situation wasn't rare in the Beast Taming School. Once a spirit beast reached a certain level of cultivation, it could become a regular cultivator of the school and enjoy all the rights and privileges. However, it would be difficult for it to be promoted to the senior management level. However, the elders of the branch established in the Cloud State were not high-level managers.
At the same time, looking at the cat-eared girl, Wang Lu also understood the hardships of the thousands of spirit hounds in the col. It was the law of heaven and earth that cats and dogs did not conform to each other. Letting a spirit cat serve as the Elder of the branch, naturally, the spirit hounds around the Grand Cloud Mountain would have a hard time. If it were jackals, wolves, tigers, leopards, and the like, which needed a lot of fresh meat to maintain their nutrition, the creatures of the entire Grand Cloud Mountain would bear enormous pressure.
However, the cat-eared girl who appeared in the air didn't expect that under the pressure of her King Pill's imposing manner, there would actually be someone who dared to be absent-minded. In her eyes, Zen Master Gourou was already no different than a dead person, and then turned to Wang Lu and Liu Li.
"The few of you have been trapped by my Beast Taming School's Five Mountain Broken Veins Great Array. No matter how big your means are, don't even think about escaping. Zen Master Gourou is a dead end, but my Beast Taming School is merciful. You two are accomplices. If you immediately surrender and hand over the spirit hounds, I can spare your lives. "
The cat-eared girl tried to make her imposing manner appear majestic and awe-inspiring, however, that sharp childish voice made her words seem somewhat ridiculous. Of course, under the peak level magical power fluctuation of King Pill, only a few people could laugh out loud.
However, as a professional adventurer, Wang Lu was most disgusted by this kind of unskilled threat. Inwardly, he was sick of it, so he retorted sarcastically, "Cat girl, if you change into a maid costume and serve us tea, we can spare your life. Otherwise, my Martial Uncle Zen Master Gourou will definitely catch you and cook you as a side dish to go with the wine!"
"Presumptuous!"
The cat-eared girl issued a sharp and ear-piercing roar. Her voice was like a tide, causing the sky to shake and the earth to shake. It was as if an invisible blade wind blew in the air, causing the surrounding rocks to rustle and the trees to fall one after another. And this was just the aftermath. The main power of the scream was concentrated on Xiao Qi.
Although the one who provoked her was Wang Lu, how could she put a middle-level Foundation Establishment cultivator in her eyes? She had been cultivating for three hundred years, transforming her spirit beast body into a human, using the secret method of Beast Taming School to wash away her demonic energy and turn it into a righteous magical power. Now, King Pill was at the peak level, Yuanying was just around the corner. Foundation Establishment cultivators were like ants to her. Only the unfathomable Zen Master Gourou was a bit of a threat to her.
This scream was the full power of Daoist King Pill. Wang Lu, who was standing next to Xiao Qi, was only affected by the aftermath. He also felt that his Non-Phase Sword Defense was showing signs of collapse. His whole body's magical power surged along with the sound waves, somewhat out of control. Even his Non-Phase Sword Bone was shaken and cracked. Fortunately, the defensive and life-saving ability of Non-Phase Method was really heaven-defying. His primordial spirit, which was condensed into an intangible body, was protected by both his physical body and magical power, so it was barely not injured and could still maintain the operation of Non-Phase Method.
As for Senior Seventh Madame, who was in the main battlefield …
"Humph!"
Accompanied by a cold humph, this finely dressed woman took three steps back and made a series of hand seals. Dozens of spells condensed and then broke in front of her, as if blooming gorgeous fireworks.
Just as Wang Lu was curious about what kind of trick she was playing, he saw Senior Seventh Madame's complexion finally changed, and then … she spurted out a big mouthful of blood!
Was, was this the Blood Shadow Divine Skill, spraying blood to injure the enemy? However, looking at her pale face, it was obvious that her injury was not light. Wang Lu had to admit the tragic reality.
Zen Master Gourou, you're f * cking deceiving me! Just now, you shamelessly boasted that a mere peak King Pill cultivator was nothing to worry about, but in the blink of an eye, you spat out geraniums and got seriously injured!? Aren't you Master's good friend? How could you be a friend if your strength is so weak!? Don't tell me you're the friend who usually hugs Wang Wu's thigh and yells, "Expert, let's be friends!?"
Then, facing Wang Lu's contemptuous, angry, and surprised eyes, Seventh Madame struggled to open her mouth to defend herself, "A mere peak King Pill cultivator, if my real body was here, how could I let her be so arrogant! Unfortunately, I'm just an incarnation, so my skill is not enough … "
I don't care if you're the real body or the incarnation, if your skill is not enough, then just obediently kneel down. Don't pretend to be a master and trick your own people!
However, seeing that the situation was getting worse, Wang Lu signaled Liu Li to come closer and reach out to hug him. At the same time, he walked slowly against the whistling sound and approached Xiao Qi's side, ready to launch the Heavenly Talisman to take her away from danger.
"It doesn't matter. I can't beat her, but if I want to run, she can't stop me."
With that, a golden light shone from Xiao Qi's hand, and a thick and powerful Buddhist staff appeared in his hand. Xiao Qi slammed the Buddhist staff on the ground and shouted, "All living beings are equal!"
Suddenly, the mountains were shaken. The mountain barrier that was forcibly pulled up by the Five Mountain Broken Veins Technique was forcibly pressed down in front of this All Living Beings Equal spell. The originally unbreakable cage suddenly disintegrated.
The cat-eared girl was taken aback. She didn't expect that the impregnable array would be so easily destroyed. However, she soon realized the problem. It was the Buddhist staff in the hands of Zen Master Gourou!
The essence was restrained, the magical power was self-generated, and the power was agile, just like a living creature. This was a spiritual treasure, without a doubt, a middle-rank spiritual treasure!
For ordinary sects, a low-rank spiritual treasure was enough to make King Pill cultivators fight until their heads bled. As a high-rank sect, the Beast Taming School's situation was naturally much better. Generally, high-rank King Pill cultivators mostly had spiritual treasures on them. However, this cat-eared girl was, after all, a spiritual beast in human form. She consumed too much energy when she transformed. She only had two life-bound magical treasures in her hands. She was still far from a spiritual treasure, let alone a middle-rank spiritual treasure!
No wonder she was able to escape so easily after stealing the spiritual dog last time. It turned out that she had such a good treasure!
The cat-eared girl's eyes became hot. Two sharp teeth protruded from the corners of her lips, and her pupils contracted, revealing her hunter's instinct.
Unfortunately, it was still a bit too late. As soon as Xiao Qi's Buddhist staff came out, the Five Mountain Broken Veins Technique was broken. In the next moment, she shouted, "Please open the door of convenience!"
Thus, a half-real, half-illusory door expanded from the tip of the Buddhist staff. Xiao Qi held the staff in his right hand, and his left hand pulled Wang Lu and took a step forward. Although it was just one step, it just crossed the door of convenience. The next moment, they were already outside the Grand Cloud Mountain!
After escaping from the predicament of the Grand Cloud Mountain, before Xiao Qi's feet landed on the ground, she looked back and saw Wang Lu holding the Sword of Mount Kun in one hand, Liu Li in the other, and a smart mottled dog hanging on his leg … This group of people really ran away.
Thus, Xiao Qi's heart calmed down. She directly lay down on the ground, gasping for breath. Just now, she had to take the cat-eared girl's scream, so her internal injury was not light. However, her cultivation method was quite mysterious, so she quickly calmed down the disordered magical power in her body. The Buddhist staff in her right hand also emitted a faint light, helping her to heal her injury.
"Hehe, what do you think? Thrilling and exciting, right?"
"Your method of changing the topic to avoid embarrassment is really poor."
Wang Lu mercilessly exposed her. "Hahaha, just a moment ago, you're still boasting shamelessly, arrogantly looking down on people, but the next moment, you've been seriously injured and have to flee in panic. You're a proper villain template! "
Xiao Qi's face turned red. "Alas, a momentary slip, just a momentary slip. Even a wise man would make a mistake. Let alone if my real body was here, I could kill her with just a finger. Therefore, a momentary carelessness is excusable."
"The problem is, your real body isn't here … What do you mean by your so-called avatar and real body? Is your real body referring to that Buddhist staff? "
It was rare for Wang Lu to take the initiative to change the topic, so Xiao Qi immediately explained, "Of course not, the so-called real body … Hey, didn't you teach it in Lingjian School? Among the several ways to advance from Yuanying to Deity Stage, one of them is to refine the avatar, divide the primordial spirit, and wait for the avatar to advance to Yuanying, and then combine the avatar into one, breaking through the barrier in one fell swoop … "
Wang Lu said, "I've taught it, but I really can't associate your appearance with a peak Yuanying Stage expert."
"…"
