After the white snake fled, Lv Fengxian had no choice but to return to the spiritual boat.
At this time, the group of Rogue Cultivators who had escaped from death were also well-behaved. Each of them still had lingering fear. After experiencing the casualties, they realized that it was not so easy to pick up such an advantage. The excitement that had just risen faded a little. On the other hand, the green-clothed woman no longer looked at Fang Xing with disgust in her eyes. She knew that she was a little reckless just now. Fortunately, this monk had helped her avoid a disaster. Although she still did not have a good face, she still thanked him politely.
The spiritual boat moved forward again, but it didn't dare to go at full speed and could only move forward slowly.
However, to their surprise, even though they were depressed that they couldn't kill the horned white python, things weren't over yet. After half an hour, when their spiritual boat slowly and heavily bypassed a huge mountain, a scarlet demonic light dashed toward them and crashed into the bow of the spiritual boat. Even though the defensive array protecting the boat was activated immediately, the boat still staggered from this horrifying force, and the defensive array almost shattered. Alarmed, Lv Fengxian and the others jumped out of the boat and saw a white figure turning around behind the mountain and hissing provocatively before disappearing into the void.
"With the royal bloodline, this remnant is indeed extraordinary. It even knows how to hold grudges …"
All the cultivators were shocked, and a sense of panic appeared in their eyes. No matter who it was, they would not feel at ease after being targeted by such a thing.
However, Lv Fengxian narrowed his eyes coldly and ordered the spiritual boat to move forward again without saying a word.
As expected, the horned white python appeared again in less than one hour, and it crashed toward the spiritual boat with a huge mountain.
Fortunately, Lv Fengxian was prepared. He flew out of the boat and shattered the mountain with his halberd, saving the spiritual boat from the fate of being smashed into the ground by this huge mountain. However, when he was about to chase after the horned white python, it disappeared again. It was too fast, and it hid its demonic essence so that it was hard to detect. It came and went as if it had turned from a prey to a hunter …
"Senior Brother, if we really can't do it, we can only retreat for now …"
After being harassed by it several times in a row, Lv Fengxian's group was already annoyed to the extreme, let alone killing the other Surviving Species of the Untainted Land. Shi Nansha's expression was grim. He knew that although the white python's sneak attack was not successful, it was still extremely dangerous. Once it succeeded, more than half of their group would be killed or injured. Therefore, he had no choice but to advise Lv Fengxian to retreat first.
"Don't tell me you want me to have the reputation of being forced to retreat by a beast?"
Lv Fengxian said while gritting his teeth. His eyes were cold and full of hatred. He even looked at Shi Nansha with an unfriendly gaze. Shi Nansha was helpless. He knew that Lv Fengxian did not want to have this kind of reputation. Although he had killed a Lost Species and could be considered to have completed his task, he was the successor of the Taishang Orthodoxy and the descendant of the True Immortals of the Taihao Lu Tribe. How could he be willing to be forced back to Baek Ok-kyung by a Lost Species of Untainted Land?
"Young Master Lu, Old Crane Chen requests to see you. He has something important to discuss …"
But just as he was vexed, someone from the main cabin asked to see him. It was Old Crane Chen. He entered the door with a face full of smiles and saluted Lv Fengxian.
"Speak!"
Hearing Old Crane Chen's words, Lv Fengxian's face was gloomy and he spoke in a cold voice.
The usually elegant and graceful Lv Fengxian seemed to have lost some of his poise at this moment. It seemed that he was greatly angered by the single-horned white python.
Old Crane Chen muttered in his heart when he saw this, but he still plucked up his courage and said with a smile, "Young Master Lu, that Lost Species of Untainted Land has a grudge and has repeatedly come to harass us. Although I am not afraid, it is annoying. This old man has a plan to capture this beast …"
As soon as he said this, Lv Fengxian and Shi Nansha both looked at him gloomily and silently.
Old Crane Chen laughed and said, "In this old man's opinion, although that Lost Species of Untainted Land is terrifying, Young Master Lu's divine power is unparalleled. Killing it is as easy as flipping your hand. It is just that it came fast and escaped fast, so it is difficult to capture! But now that it has a grudge and wants to pester us, why don't we make use of it and set a trap for it? Haha, we have a lot of people. If we find a suitable terrain and set up a large formation, we can lure it in and trap it. At that time, Young Master Lu can make a move … "
"That white snake is cunning and suspicious. In addition, its speed is faster than lightning. How can it be tricked so easily?"
Hearing Old Crane Chen's words, Lv Fengxian frowned and said coldly.
The plan that Old Crane Chen mentioned was not something new. It was just a common ambush. Lv Fengxian understood as soon as he heard it. However, thinking about the success of this plan, Lv Fengxian still looked at Old Crane Chen expressionlessly.
"It's not impossible!"
Shi Nansha said thoughtfully, "Although that white snake has intelligence, it is not a real royal family. Its intelligence is limited. Even if it is cunning, it can't see through our careful arrangements. If we divide our forces into two groups, with one group getting off the boat quietly and the other driving the boat back to Baek Ok-kyung, this beast will think that we are tired of it and have returned to the capital. When it lets down its guard, we can find someone as bait to lure it and trap it into an ambush … Of course, we need to pay attention to a few details. I suggest that you stand on the boat and let it watch you go back to the city. You are the only one it is afraid of. As long as you leave, it will definitely let down its guard. If we choose 64 people to set up a large formation, we can trap it for at least 15 minutes. During this time, as long as you come back in time, it will be dead for sure!"
Lv Fengxian lowered his head and thought for a moment. He was quite tempted, but he didn't have any other good ideas at the moment.
After a long while, he asked with concentration, "This plan is simple, but the bait is difficult. Do you have any suitable candidates?"
Chen Laohe had been waiting for this question and said immediately, "The bait must have a high cultivation strength. Otherwise, it will be swallowed immediately. Secondly, the bait must be smart and bold. Only those who are good at escaping can take on this heavy responsibility. I know a good candidate …"
He said a name in a low voice with a sincere but sinister expression.
"… That Monk Xingfang is the most suitable!"
Lv Fengxian and Shi Nansha didn't bother to pay attention to his thoughts. Instead, they thought about the feasibility of this plan seriously.
Chen Laohe said with a smile, "I can't see the monk's cultivation strength clearly, but he is at least at the top-tier of Golden Core Realm. Moreover, he is extremely bold and annoying. Besides, his speed … Elder Master, you must have noticed that every time we encounter danger or snatch benefits, this monk will escape or snatch the credit. He is as fast as lightning …"
"Ugh?"
Lv Fengxian looked at Shi Nansha curiously.
Shi Nansha said with a bitter smile, "That's true. Five days ago, I took them to Futuo Mountain to look for a treasure herb. Many people saw the treasure herb from afar, and I was closer to it. However, this monk dashed over with a whoosh. Before I could react, he was already laughing with the treasure herb in his hand. It took me a lot of effort to get it back from him …"
"If there is such a candidate, then we'll follow this plan!"
Lv Fengxian made the decision and said coldly.
Although these independent cultivators were still useful to him, he didn't mind losing one or two of them if they could help him kill the white snake.
"Well, I'll go and make the decision!"
Chen Laohe felt reassured. He hastily agreed and went to the back of the cabin.
…
…
"What? You want me to lure the white snake over? "
After a while, a roar sounded in the spiritual boat. Fang Xing pointed at his nose and looked at Chen Guhe, who was sneering in front of him. He was shocked and angry, and he wanted to grab this old bastard and beat him up.
"Hehe, we're all working for Gongzi Lu's faction. When it's time to contribute, how can we retreat? Monk, when we're with you, you snatch credit, slack off, play tricks, and are selfish. We won't talk about these things. I've discussed this plan with Gongzi Lu and the elders, and no one is more suitable than you. You should stop talking nonsense and take up this task. If you can successfully lure the white snake into the ambush, Gongzi Lu will definitely remember your contribution and reward you handsomely … "
Chen Laohe said coldly with a solemn expression, but a sneer appeared on his face.
His expression seemed to be saying, "If you survive, you will be rewarded handsomely. If you die, you won't get the reward, right?"
In fact, he couldn't say it out loud. If Fang Xing really lured the white snake over, who would have the time to care about this monk? Of course, he would be trapped in the array and let the white snake devour him. To him, as long as he helped Lv Fengxian trap the white snake, it would be a great contribution. Who would care about this monk's life or death?
"Hehehehe, are you sure you want me to lure the white snake over?"
A murderous spirit rose in Fang Xing's heart, but he didn't show it on his face. Instead, he asked with a faint smile.
"Don't you understand what Elder Chen said?"
"Of course, you should go. Anyway, you ran away quickly when you snatched credit. Such a good thing must go to you!"
"Hehe, if you don't want to go, do you want us to go?"
Before Chen Laohe could answer, the lackeys gathered around him started to make sarcastic remarks. It had to be said that among this group of people, Fang Xing was not very popular. Usually, the cultivators couldn't do anything to him, but now, it was not normal for them to not hit him when he was down …
While the cultivators were hitting him when he was down, the green-clothed woman spoke. She frowned and said, "It's too dangerous. How ferocious is that single-horned white snake? Even if you really want to find someone to be the bait, you should draw lots fairly. There should be more people going so that there will be a helper. You directly sent him to his death. What's the difference between that and sending him to his death? "
With that said, Zhu Xiu was silent for a long time. His expression was a little strange.
We want to send him to his death. Everyone knows that. It's not good for you to say it out loud, right?
"Hehe, Fairy Qing 'er is right!"
In the silence, Chen Laohe suddenly laughed in a deep voice. "Why don't you go together?"
