"The Thorn Dove's aura has disappeared. That Stage Nine Soul Formation Duxian Gate disciple has also disappeared. This is strange."
In a hidden valley deep in the forest, a few black figures were hiding in the bushes. They were discussing something telepathically.
One of them scolded, "He must have gotten some benefits, killed someone, and left!
Hmph! We really can't trust such a person. It's more reliable to train our own subordinates! "
"Is the Dragon Trapping Array ready?"
"It's ready. It can definitely trap that Duxian Gate's Perfected Immortal."
"Very good. Although the situation has changed, it should not be a big problem." The person in charge pondered for a while. "Send a message to Fourth Young Master later. Arrange for a group of people to kill Fourth Young Master on purpose and lure the Duxian Gate's Perfected Immortal over.
We will personally capture those two disciples and bring them into the trapping array. Then, we will lure the Perfected Immortal into the trapping array.
This matter concerns the restoration of the nation. The Sixth Princess is the best opportunity. We must control the Sixth Princess this time and let Fourth Young Master get what he wants. "
The few black shadows chuckled. The leader made a fist gesture, and the other black shadows scattered in all directions, quickly disappearing without a trace.
Half a day later, a few men in black suddenly attacked Yuan Qing and Youqin Genya. Yuan Qing decisively crushed his communication talisman.
Jiujiu, who was sitting cross-legged in the sky above Wang Ji and Liu Yan 'er, suddenly became alert. She turned around and rushed southwest. Yuwen Ling struggled to keep up with Jiujiu and followed behind her.
Just as Jiujiu flew away, more than ten auras rushed out from below. Two Dao Requital Realm Qi Practitioners even launched a sneak attack. They knocked Wang Ji and Liu Yan 'er unconscious and took them away.
An hour later, Jiujiu flew back hurriedly. Yuwen Ling stayed in the sky above Yuan Qing and Youqin Genya to protect them in secret.
At that moment, Jiujiu also smelled something unusual. However, she had rushed too quickly. By the time she found Liu Yan 'er and Wang Ji, she had already entered a large array. Her surroundings were filled with white fog. She probed her surroundings with her immortal senses, but all she saw was a vast expanse of whiteness.
Holding Wang Qi and Liu Yan 'er under her ribs, Jiujiu flew around randomly in the trap array. She was not good at array formations, so she soon found that she was spinning in circles.
"Fortunately, there's a big general guarding Yuan Qing and Genya."
Jiujiu heaved a sigh of relief in her heart. She wanted to calm down and think of a way to break the formation, but Li Changshou's warning before she entered the Chaos Treasure Forest rang in her ears again.
"Aunt-Master Jiu, this person is suspicious. Don't trust him easily."
Could that Yuwen Ling be …
For a moment, two drops of cold sweat appeared on Jiujiu's forehead.
It seemed like he had been fooled from the very beginning!
What happened to that fellow, Li Changshou? His cultivation level was the lowest. Could he have been killed by these people?
These people were most likely here for Genya and Yuan Qing. Why did he not realize this earlier?!
Jiujiu could not help but curse. "You bunch of rascals! If you have the guts, come out and fight me for 300 rounds! How can you call yourself a Qi Refinement cultivator if you use such tricks?! "
However, there were only groups of venomous insects and a few venomous beasts that were also lost within the array. There was no response at all.
"Ah!"
Jiu Jiu threw the two unconscious people on the ground and stomped her feet. The string in a certain area of her linen shirt was in danger, and the pressure on her increased.
"Formations and whatnot, it's so annoying!"
…
"Immortal-Emancipating Herbs … are really hard to find."
On the twelfth day in the North Continent, Li Changshou walked out of the Chaos Treasure Forest and headed northwest for another 1,600 kilometers. He arrived at the area marked on his map 'on time'.
This area was about 150 kilometers wide. There were hills, swamps, mountain ranges, and other complicated topographies. As he ventured deeper into the North Continent, the venomous beasts and venomous insects there were much more ferocious than in the periphery.
Li Changshou remained extremely vigilant. He carefully searched for the 'venomous herb' that he was looking for. However, after searching for six days, he had collected many venomous herbs and spirit herbs. However, there was still no trace of the 'main target' that he had risked his life to come to the North Continent.
That afternoon, there was suddenly a 'poisonous rain'. The rainwater that fell from the sky was actually extremely poisonous.
Li Changshou did not dare to move around recklessly. He found a cliff nearby and dug a hole in it. He used his spiritual senses to scan the walls of the cliff and waited for the rain to stop before continuing his search for the herb.
Over the past six days, he had almost finished searching the entire area. However, he still could not find any traces of the Immortal-Emancipating Herb.
'Immortal-Emancipating Herb, oh Immortal-Emancipating Herb. Why do we have to hide? Can't we just meet each other?'
Li Changshou yawned and sat cross-legged in the cave. He adjusted his breathing to its optimal state.
He had found out from an ancient book that Immortal-Emancipating Herbs were growing in this area.
Coming here to search was the cheapest way to obtain the herb. If he really could not find it, Li Changshou decided to try his luck at the town that he had been to earlier on his way back.
Even if he used up all the spirit stones and treasures that he had accumulated over the past 100 years of swindling — ahem — living frugally, it would be worth it if he could exchange them for one Immortal-Emancipating Herb.
If he still could not find it …
Li Changshou could not do anything about it. He could only return to the mountain and make further plans.
The heavy rain came quickly, but it did not look like it was going to stop anytime soon.
It was rare for Li Changshou to get some rest. He relaxed his tense mind. Although he had a small amount of Red Yang Poisonous Dragon's Saliva, which protected him from poisonous creatures, it was difficult for him to tell himself that he did not need to worry when he was in such a dangerous place.
'Aunt-Master Jiu should be fine, right?'
He thought about the cultivator that he had killed nine days ago. Li Changshou took out the Soul-Bewitching Pearl to look at the memory fragments. However, the remnant soul within had already dissipated.
'Forget it. It has nothing to do with me anyway.'
'This group of people had a good plan. They also had Yuan Qing, the big, warm guy, as their spy. Given Aunt-Master Jiu's intelligence … it would be easy for her to be lured into the array formation.
'Aunt-Master Jiu has a high cultivation level and a cute personality. However, she is too impatient sometimes. When the alcohol gets to her head, she will not care about anything else.'
It was a pity for Youqin Genya. She had been cultivating in the immortal sect for so long, but she still could not avoid the power struggles in the mortal world. Her childhood sweetheart, who had always been trying to please her, was the one with the most unfathomable intentions.
Li Changshou had never thought of himself as a hero. He did not have the obligation to save the princess or change the fate of others. In his eyes, Youqin Genya was just a good-looking troublemaker. He should avoid such a huge karma if he could. If he could not, he should not be implicated either.
Rumble!
Suddenly, thunder rumbled above his head. Li Changshou started to check the various resources that he still had.
He had enough elixirs and talismans. The Saliva of the Red Yang Poisonous Dragon could last him for nine more days. That was enough for him to finish exploring this area and then leave. If he moved quickly and finished exploring this area, he could still search more areas in the north or west.
"Immortal-Emancipating Herb, Immortal-Emancipating Herb. I'm very impatient now."
Boom!
The mountain wall suddenly shook. The frequency of the shaking …
Li Changshou quickly spread his spiritual senses. Soon, he saw something strange in the clouds above his head. The clouds formed a whirlpool. Lightning flashed in it, as if something was about to be squeezed out.
With a pinch of his fingers, the universe changed!
Li Changshou opened a layer of Dharmic power around him and immediately rushed out of the cave. He quickly landed on the ground and prepared to use the Cloud Exploring Dragon Roaming Steps.
However, just as he landed, he heard a roar above his head. A fiery-red figure rushed out of the whirlpool and crashed into the ground like a bolt of lightning.
The figure landed 30 feet in front of Li Changshou's feet, causing a pile of mud to splatter.
Li Changshou quickly retreated. The three paper dolls were already in his hands!
However, immediately after, Li Changshou saw the figure wrapped in a layer of light red light. He frowned slightly.
This …
Did God see that it was too easy for him to dig up spiritual herbs and poisonous plants, so he purposely increased the difficulty of the task?
Or did he do something bad this time? Was this a small disaster written in his life that he could not avoid?
The figure in the fiery-red fairy dress in front of him was none other than — Youqin Genya.
However, she was seriously injured. There was a deep wound on her left shoulder. Blood mixed with poisonous rainwater flowed down her jade-like arm. The big sword in her right hand had lost its scabbard. There were a few cracks like spider webs on the sword …
There were at least ten wounds on her body, but they were not fatal.
When Li Changshou saw her clearly, Youqin Genya also saw a figure in the curtain of rain in front of her. She lowered her head and spat out a mouthful of blood. There was some determination in her eyes. She slowly stood up with the help of the big sword, but she felt that the figure was a little familiar …
Li Changshou frowned. At this moment, his spiritual sense spread out, but he did not feel any pursuers.
Thinking of the movement just now, it was obvious that Youqin Genya used some treasure to escape and directly used the Qiankun Spell to move to this place.
What was worse was that it happened here.
If Youqin Genya survived and returned to the sect to complain about him, it would be enough for him to suffer. However, Li Changshou did not want to be involved in this dispute. This had nothing to do with him.
Although it would be very troublesome to be accused, it would only be a deduction of his monthly allowance …
"Ah, the rain is so heavy. My vision is completely blocked. I can't see anything."
Li Changshou muttered in a low voice. He calmly turned around and faced the cliff behind him. His hands began to quickly form the Earth Escape Spell.
I'm waiting for a foolish old man online!
Hurry!
"Senior … Senior Brother Changshou?"
Youqin Genya looked at Li Changshou's back in the rain with some shock. She lowered her head and coughed out a mouthful of blood. Then, she said anxiously, "Hurry up and leave. Don't care about me. Your cultivation level is too low. They have many people …"
Before she finished speaking, Youqin Genya had already closed her eyes weakly. Her aura was completely chaotic, and her injuries erupted. She fell on the muddy ground with her sword.
A bolt of lightning appeared in the dark clouds above her head, and the sound of the rain became louder.
"Forget it. Seeing that you still have a conscience, I'll use the Earth Escape Spell to bring you half the way."
I really can't control you anymore. I can only let you resign yourself to fate …
