The cultivation of the two black-robed cultivators wasn't weak. By relying on their wolf-headed staffs, they were even stronger than the red-head-scarf old man. They were both late Foundation Establishment cultivators. When the wolf-headed staffs attacked, the air was faintly filled with the sound of wolves howling.
However, the two black-robed cultivators' wolf-headed staffs were slightly inferior to top-grade magic tools. Originally, they wanted to save the red-head-scarf old man, but the appearance of a peak sixth-order puppet made the two of them feel like they were about to fall into a trap.
Luo Qian and Su Qing each found their own opponent. The black-robed cultivator who had spoken earlier received a blow from the puppet's sledgehammer with his wolf-headed staff. The heavy blow sent the black-robed cultivator flying back over a hundred meters. His Qi and blood surged, and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood. The black-robed cultivator fighting against Lu Xiaotian was startled and horrified. Previously, he had only judged the puppet's strength based on its imposing manner. He didn't expect that he would only find out how terrifying the puppet was after fighting it. He didn't know what that earth-yellow sledgehammer was made of, but it was incomparably sturdy. Moreover, the power transmitted from the sledgehammer made him feel even more terrified.
"Awoo!" The black-robed cultivator opened his mouth and let out a series of mournful wolf howls. The cloak behind him fluttered without any wind and the image of a huge black wolf rose up from his hand. Although there was a chance that he would expose himself, the black-robed cultivator couldn't care less in the face of a powerful enemy.
The shadow of the black wolf was somewhat indistinct. After it appeared, the black-robed cultivator waved his wolf-headed staff and its might increased by thirty percent. He heavily struck the puppet that was closing in on him.
Lu Xiaotian coldly snorted. The puppet's originally dim eyes flashed with a yellow light. Just now, the puppet hadn't used its full strength. The black-robed cultivator in front of him was only a mid-level late-foundation cultivator. Wanting to block his puppet was simply wishful thinking.
Under the control of Lu Xiaotian's sub-soul, the puppet faced the black-robed cultivator's desperate counterattack with a simple sledgehammer.
Bang! A huge sonic boom resounded in the air. The sturdy Wolf Head Cudgel also bent under such a powerful impact. The black wolf phantom howled miserably in such a miserable battle and exploded into pieces.
The black-robed cultivator's face was filled with shock. He didn't expect the golem to be so powerful that it was beyond his imagination. With a sweet taste in his throat, he flew backward and spat out a large mouthful of blood. He had lost his will to fight and turned around to escape. Behind him, the scorching hot Sword Qi almost suffocated him. Before the black-robed cultivator could react, the Blazing Flame Sword slashed from the top of his head all the way to his crotch, cutting him into two halves.
The old man with the red headscarf and the other black-robed cultivator also realized that the situation was not good and wanted to escape, but Lu Xiaotian and the puppet blocked their retreat. In the end, Su Qing's Fish Scale Whip snapped the neck of the old man with the red headscarf. Luo Qian also killed the remaining black-robed cultivator with a single blow.
Looking at the dismembered corpses on the ground, Lu Xiaotian revealed a pensive expression. If he guessed correctly, these two black-robed cultivators should be cultivators from the Sky Vault Realm's Heavenly Wolf Sect. Their methods were the same as Lang Xiao's in the Immemorial Dao Scripture. However, compared to Lang Xiao, they were much weaker and naturally weren't his match. The Heavenly Wolf Sect's cultivators had changed their appearances. He didn't know why they were dressed like this. The identity of the old man with the red headscarf was also rather suspicious.
"These people actually know about the Gold Condensing Fruit. It looks like this trip is destined to not be peaceful." Luo Qian, who had put away his spear, didn't feel any joy from victory. On the contrary, his expression was somewhat solemn.
"With the strength of the three of us, even if there are more opponents, so what?" Su Qing was full of confidence in them. Up until now, she still hadn't revealed her trump card. She had already taken care of three late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators and a very powerful Black Malevolent Spider. Although the Black Malevolent Spider was killed by Lu Xiaotian, Lu Xiaotian was also one of them, wasn't he?
"Two fists are no match for four hands. Moreover, the Foundation Establishment cultivators might not be the only ones who know about it." Lu Xiaotian's face carried a trace of worry. Based on the situation before them, there were even cultivators from the other realm who knew about the Gold Condensing Fruit. Naturally, the possibility of Jin Dan cultivators couldn't be ruled out.
Upon hearing this, Luo Qian's expression also changed. He also had the confidence to face Foundation Establishment cultivators. After all, the strength of the three of them was there for all to see. However, Jin Dan cultivators were different. Even if the three of them joined forces, they might not be able to withstand a single blow from a Jin Dan cultivator.
"Don't worry about Jin Dan cultivators. My grandfather said that during this period of time, the Jin Dan seniors from various sects who went to Xuanye City, as well as the local Jin Dan cultivators of Xuanye City, are secretly holding a meeting to discuss how to resist the invasion of the Southern Wasteland and Heaven's Vault Realm cultivators. They can't leave for the time being. "Su Qing couldn't help but laugh when she saw that the usually calm Lu Xiaotian also had a worried expression.
"Is that so? Is the news true? "Luo Qian's face lit up with joy.
"Of course it's true. There are also people from the Divine Firmament Palace participating in this secret meeting. Are you doubting my words? "Su Qing said with a displeased expression.
"Of course not. How could I not trust Junior Sister Su?" Luo Qian smiled embarrassedly.
Hearing this, Lu Xiaotian also let out a sigh of relief. "As long as the Jin Dan cultivators don't interfere, then there's no need to worry too much. Let's go."
"Brother Lu, look at the two black-robed cultivators. Their gazes are a bit strange. Did they see something? I've already told you so much. You can't hide everything from me. "Su Qing stared at Lu Xiaotian and said.
"These two black-robed cultivators should be cultivators from the Heaven's Vault Realm's Heavenly Wolf Sect," Lu Xiaotian saw that Su Qing had already guessed something and didn't hide it any longer. The Southern Wasteland and Heaven's Vault Realm cultivators working together to plot against the Full Moon Immortal World was not a small matter. Luo Qian had a master named Jin Dan, and Su Qing had a grandfather. Perhaps these two people knew more.
"What? Cultivators from the Heavenly Wolf Sect? "The two of them were shocked.
"Mm, I've fought with cultivators from the Heavenly Wolf Sect before. I shouldn't be mistaken. For us to meet here means that the situation around Profound Leaf City is not optimistic. However, as long as we're careful, there shouldn't be any problems." Lu Xiaotian nodded.
After looting the storage pouches of the three fellows, they were shocked by their astonishing wealth.
"I didn't expect these fellows to be so rich." Su Qing was a bit speechless. Counting the various spiritual items, each of them received no less than 400,000 low-grade spirit stones.
"These three are not weak. Moreover, they're working together. Who knows how many cultivators they've killed?" Lu Xiaotian said coldly. Especially the old man with the red headscarf. After a normal cultivator raised a War Pet, they would spend twice as much or even more. To be able to raise the Black Nightmare Spider to such an extent, the amount of spirit stones consumed must be astronomical. At this time, this fellow was still able to save up so much. Clearly, he had plundered it from other cultivators.
"That's true. If it weren't for your astonishing strength and that powerful sixth-grade puppet, I'm afraid the three of us wouldn't have been able to win this battle." Lu Qian thought of the Black Nightmare Spider's strength. Su Qing had panicked when facing the Black Nightmare Spider and said with lingering fear.
"Hmph, even if we can't kill these fellows, we'll still have no problem protecting ourselves." Su Qing was somewhat unconvinced.
"Let's not argue about these meaningless things. Let's go pick the Gold Condensing Fruit as soon as possible and leave this place as soon as possible." Lu Xiaotian shook his head. Hearing Su Qing's tone, he knew that Su Qing definitely still had some powerful methods that she hadn't used yet.
After putting away all the items, Lu Xiaotian suddenly noticed a small black bead and couldn't help but let out a soft cry of surprise.
"Brother Lu, what's wrong?"
"There's something strange about this small bead." Lu Xiaotian circulated his magic power to his eyes and a spiritual light flashed in his eyes. Only then did he see a faint shadow jumping about inside the small black bead.
"Huh, there really is something. It seems like someone's primordial spirit has been imprisoned inside this small bead."
After Lu Xiaotian's reminder, Su Qing and Luo Qian also used the Spirit Eye Technique and saw the strange scene inside. A primordial spirit with a face full of hostility was roaming inside and roaring, "Chang Dahai, you old bastard who won't die a good death. When I get out, I'll definitely have my father grind your bones to dust and refine your soul!"
Soul Binding Bead! Lu Xiaotian suddenly thought of a rather vicious magic tool that could destroy a person's physical body and imprison their primordial spirit inside, tormenting them until their soul dissipated. This Soul Binding Bead was obtained from the red headscarf old man's storage bag. He didn't expect that this old man not only had a powerful battle pet like the Black Nightmare Spider, but also such a vicious item. This red headscarf old man shouldn't be from the same sect as the cultivators from the Heavenly Wolf Sect. Perhaps through the primordial spirit in the Soul Binding Bead, he might be able to find out about this guy's origins.
"Is the Chang Dahai you're talking about a red headscarf old man?" Lu Xiaotian circulated his magic power and transmitted his voice into the Soul Binding Bead.
"Red headscarf old man? That's right, that old bastard Chang Dahai does wear a disgusting red headscarf all day long. If you're not Chang Dahai, then who are you? "The primordial spirit in the Soul Binding Bead was stunned when it heard the unfamiliar voice, and the hostility on its face lessened slightly. There was a trace of surprise in its voice, "How did Chang Dahai's Soul Binding Bead end up in your hands?"
"You ask too many questions." Lu Xiaotian frowned.
"Chang Dahai sneaked an attack on me, so it's impossible for him to give the Soul Binding Bead to others. Could it be that he fell into your hands? Haha, heaven's will, it's really heaven's will. That bastard has finally received his retribution! "
The primordial spirit in the Soul Binding Bead guessed and reported it, then laughed maniacally. After a while, it said, "I'm that bastard Chang Dahai's senior brother from the same sect, a Foundation Establishment disciple from the Myriad Beast Pavilion. I was ambushed and killed by Chang Dahai. As long as you deliver the Soul Binding Bead to the Jin Dan cultivator Sun Shiqiong of the Myriad Beast Pavilion, he will definitely reward you handsomely."
"A cultivator from the Myriad Beast Pavilion? Since you're from the same sect, why did Chang Dahai ambush you? "Su Qing couldn't help but ask.
"Chang Dahai was jealous that my master treated me well, so he conspired with outsiders to ambush me and destroy my physical body. He even imprisoned my primordial spirit in the Soul Binding Bead to torture me. I didn't expect that he would have such a day. "The primordial spirit in the Soul Binding Bead said angrily.
"Betraying others? The cultivator who joined forces with him is quite strong. Which sect is he from? "
"The other party acted too quickly, and they weren't weak. I was ambushed in a hurry, but I couldn't tell which sect they were from." The other party sighed.
"I think it's not that you couldn't tell, it's just that you didn't want to say." Lu Qian snorted. His fellow sect member colluding with foreign cultivators was indeed a dishonorable thing.
"Indeed, I couldn't tell. Fellow Daoists, you were able to kill this one's mortal enemy. This one is extremely grateful. Seeing that this one is pitiful, I hope that you can give the Soul Binding Bead to my master. This one will be extremely grateful." The primordial spirit begged bitterly.
"Not interested." There was something wrong with this fellow. There were some things that he wasn't willing to say. Moreover, the Soul Binding Bead was rare and expensive. Chang Dahai was willing to spend a large sum of money to imprison Chang Dahai, but it wasn't necessarily out of hatred. Perhaps there were some secrets hidden in this matter. Thinking about the Immemorial Bead that the Lu brothers gave him after he came out of the Immemorial Dao Scripture, as well as the fact that Chang Dahai of the Myriad Beast Pavilion had colluded with the cultivators of the Heavenly Wolf Sect, Lu Xiaotian suddenly realized that the situation in Profound Leaf City was more complicated than he had imagined. The foreign cultivators actually had a spy in Profound Leaf City, and his status was definitely not low. Since there was Chang Dahai, there could naturally be others. Among the cultivators from the various sects and clans, most of the patrol squads around Xuanye City belonged to a single sect. However, once a spy appeared, it wouldn't be difficult for the other party to set up an ambush. It was just that he didn't know how far the foreign cultivators had infiltrated Profound Leaf City. If it was limited to Foundation Establishment cultivators, perhaps he could still salvage the situation. However, if even Jin Dan cultivators were involved, the result would most likely be disastrous. He didn't know how many people would die.
Su Qing noticed that Lu Xiaotian's expression was somewhat unsightly and couldn't help but ask, "Brother Lu, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, but we have to be more careful in the future. Since the cultivators of the Heavenly Wolf Sect can collude with Chang Dahai, they can also collude with others. If we aren't careful, when we carry out missions later on, we can easily be ambushed by cultivators from other sects. "Thinking that Su Qing and Luo Qian had some friendship with him, Lu Xiaotian reminded them.
The two couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air. Thinking about the situation that Lu Xiaotian had mentioned, it was completely possible for it to happen. It was difficult to dodge a spear in the open, but it was difficult to guard against a stab in the dark. In the past, they had suffered in the Blood Colored Forbidden Area.
"As long as we are careful enough and guard against outsiders, we won't give them any opportunities to take advantage of us." After a long while, Luo Qian's expression returned to normal.
"That's all we can do." Su Qing couldn't help but nod.
Perhaps because they sensed that the situation in Profound Leaf City wasn't optimistic, the three of them spoke less. They directly rushed to the area where the Gold Condensing Fruit was located, and along the way, they discovered traces of other cultivators. The three of them became even more cautious.
Despite being extremely careful, they still encountered danger. Several days later, Lu Xiaotian's group fled in a somewhat sorry state. Above them, several tens of high level duck-beaked monstrous birds spread their three-meter-long wings and chased after them.
