Brave the world of self-cultivation with the aura of Jack Su

Chapter 30 Banquet
Not reconciled, the woman flew onto the snake demon again, raising her black sword to stab down.

Another black shadow quickly flashed past.

This time, Liu Piaopiao's body and mind tensed up, and she was already on guard, so she blocked it with the black sword in her hand.

The plain and dull sword is aimed at the outside, and the pitch-black blade restrains all the exposed edges.

Puff——a very slight sound of cutting flesh sounded.

A black scaly tail fell to the ground, still twitching and writhing, and the tailbone inside could still be seen in the section of the wound.

Blood gradually oozed out from the translucent snow-white snake flesh, some flowed to the ground, and some covered the black snake scales.

The huge snake demon let out a painful female voice, and the huge snake rolled on the ground in pain.

The pain at the broken tail spread all over her body, first making her lose her voice for a moment, and then howling loudly uncontrollably, she couldn't think of anything for a moment, only the endless pain made her writhe helplessly.

Liu Piaopiao was thrown to the ground, covered in dirt and leaves.

She didn't dare to stay longer on the ground, so she quickly ran towards Qingling.

After the snake demon slowed down a bit, the huge snake's eyes were filled with deep-seated hatred.

"Liu Piaopiao~you must die~" she wailed loudly.

The bleeding wound gradually began to stop, but it would take a long time for the docked tail to grow back.

Qingling was really surprised when she saw Liu Piaopiao appearing suddenly, but when she saw Xianxiu running towards her in a panic, she moved quickly to protect him behind her.

"Fix the formation!" the delicate-looking demon cultivator sternly ordered to the demon cultivators at the golden core stage around her.

Liu Piaopiao stood behind her, leaning on her graceful back.

The voice said in a hollow voice: "That snake monster is making trouble in the palace, Elder Zhao should be catching up soon, you don't have to fight recklessly, delay is fine."

Although the other party was a Nascent Soul stage big snake demon, the Jindan Demon Cultivator who formed the formation was not afraid at all, and surrounded her well-trained as before.

The snake demon has lost its tail, and its vitality has been severely injured, and there are chasing soldiers behind it.

At this time, the situation is a disadvantage for her, and she might lose her life if she fights recklessly.

When she saw Moxiu approaching, the ferocity in her mind that was stimulated by the pain had already subsided by half.

After regaining her senses, she wanted to retreat.

The demon cultivators around were chanting words, and their hands in Jieyin controlled the sword array that was constantly spinning in the air.

The snake demon aimed at one of them and slammed into it.

When it touched the sword formation, the scales would inevitably be scraped off by the sword formation, but the huge snake's head still crossed the sword formation forcefully, knocking away the fragile Moxiu with tremendous force.

The sword array without one person is no longer perfect, even though the rest of the people tried their best to complete it, there was still an instant gap, and the snake demon ran away along the gap with all its strength.

After all, he was at the Nascent Soul stage. Although he was injured, it was not a problem to escape.

Seeing the snake demon leave, Liu Piaopiao's body weakened.

Qing Ling hurriedly hugged her and let her lean on her body.

"What's the matter with you?" The delicate face was stained with worry.

With a pale face, Liu Piaopiao said softly: "It's nothing, maybe a little overdrawn spiritual power, just go back and rest."

She used up all her spiritual energy in the palace, and just after accumulating a little bit, she flew back and forth again.

I just went to stop the snake demon, and the last bit of spiritual power was used to repair the internal injuries of the body, and now I am very weak.

Qingling is a demon cultivator, and has no spiritual power to convey to the immortal cultivator in her arms.

She frowned and thought for a while, then took out a handful of high-grade spirit stones from the storage bag, and stuffed them into the woman's hand.

He urged: "I'm a demon cultivator, so I can't send you spiritual power. Take the spiritual stone and suck it yourself."

Liu Piaopiao looked at the shining high-grade spirit stones in her hands, and thought that they were about to be sucked dry by herself, and felt sad for a while.

"Isn't it a bit too extravagant to directly absorb the spirit stone?" She said in a low voice.

There will be a sense of guilt in the heart.

Qingling gently supported the frail and slender woman in white in her arms to sit on the ground, and said in a nasty voice, "You're going to disappear, why do you still care about this bit of spirit stone? I don't want you to return it to me, you Why is it such a pity."

Supporting the ground, Liu Piaopiao crossed her legs and said, "Five high-grade spirit stones can be exchanged for many things."

500 yuan is a middle-grade spirit stone, you can buy a lot of optical artifacts, and you can also buy flying ships...

Qingling seemed a little speechless, and mocked in a low voice: "Look at your worthless appearance, it's just five top-grade spirit stones. When I return to the sect, I'll bring you better ones."

She has a certain status in her own sect, and has countless treasures in her collection.

If you can go back, you can immediately take out a lot of good things.

Liu Piaopiao held the spirit stone and began to close her eyes to absorb the spiritual power in it.

Qingling stood by her side to protect her.

The aura in the top-grade spirit stone is very pure, it hardly needs to be refined, and the woman absorbs it very quickly.

The spirit stones in the white palm gradually dimmed, and finally turned into gray powder one by one.

On the contrary, Bai Yi Xianxiu's complexion, which was originally pale and weak, became more ruddy and more attractive.

The dry and bloodless lips began to become full and rosy again.

When Elder Zhao chased after him, he saw Qingling guarding Liu Piaopiao, protecting her intently.

"Have you seen the snake demon?" He asked via voice transmission.

"This gray hairy mouse should be able to help guide the way. Its cultivation base is weak, and it can't transform into a human form. You should protect him a little bit. Qingling put the gray hairy mouse on the ground on her body, and then pointed at the place where the snake demon escaped. direction.

Elder Zhao glanced at Liu Piaopiao who had absorbed the spiritual power, grabbed the gray mouse into his palm, and chased it in the direction Qingling pointed out.

All five spirit stones turned into ashes, and Liu Piaopiao opened her eyes.

There is a reason why it is expensive, and top-grade spirit stones are refreshing, so there is no need to worry about impurities.

The spiritual power in the body is running smoothly, and the injured part is slowly repairing.

There are still some internal injuries left, and I need to rest for a while, but basically there is no problem.

Seeing her rosy complexion and bright eyes, Qing Ling was relieved in her heart.

The woman in white stood up from the ground and cast a cleansing spell on herself.

"I will never forget your kindness, I will remember to repay you." She said to the charming female demon cultivator beside her with a playful smile.

She is a fairy cultivator who will repay her kindness.

Qingling turned her face away uncomfortably, and muttered: "Who cares about your repayment, if you have nothing to do, go back quickly, I still have to chase someone."

Liu Piaopiao smiled and nodded at her.

After waving again and again, he took his small wooden sword and flew away.

Although Qingling wondered why she didn't use her pitch-black magic sword, she felt that there was nothing to ask.

Maybe someone just used a small wooden sword to do it smoothly.

Mu Yunsheng in the palace couldn't wait for a woman for a long time, and his heart was already a little anxious.

While he was using the talisman to make contact, a worried person flew to his side.

"Elder Sister, why did you stay outside for so long? Did you encounter any delays?" the young man asked worriedly.

Liu Piaopiao patted him on the shoulder, and said in relief: "It's nothing, I just met Qingling and talked to her for a while."

There was nothing wrong with it, so there was no need to make him worry about it.

When Hua Yue and Lian Rong saw the woman coming back, they all came to surround her.

"Senior Sister, you are exhausted, take a rest." The two girls greeted earnestly.

Their senior sisters were already quite tired, and after another day of running around, they must be exhausted.

Liu Piaopiao sat on the chair, and immediately someone arranged a shoulder massage for her, and Hua Yue in front had already poured her a cup of tea.

She smiled and said, "Aren't you? How did you make it so exaggerated? Could it be that you did something bad? Afraid that I will trouble you?"

Hua Yue, who was standing behind her, said quickly, "How can you, senior sister, how can you miss us so much?"

Lian Rong answered, "That's right, we just feel sorry for the hard work of senior sister."

Liu Piaopiao was originally joking, but the more he listened to them, the more he felt something was wrong.

The more I looked at the two little girls, the more I felt that they were hiding something.

The woman put down the teacup in her hand and turned to look at the young man behind her.

"Don't protect them? Did they do something that they dare not let me know?"

Mu Yunsheng stared at the woman in front of him, and in his peripheral vision, Lian Rong was winking at him frantically.

"It's nothing, you think too much, everything is fine."

He showed his usual smile, which was very gentle and sincere.

Seeing that the second senior brother was willing to cover them, the two sisters immediately relaxed their tense hearts.

The young man saw the frightened look of the two little girls, and the smiles on their faces became more sincere.

In fact, it's really not a big deal.

It is these two people who want to continue making pastries that they have not finished, and make them to show off to the woman.

As a result, many precious medicinal materials and ingredients in the imperial dining room were used up, causing a lot of waste.

He has already made compensation, and the emperor has already discussed it, and there is nothing wrong.

The woman still trusted the young man. Hearing that there was nothing wrong with him, she just thought she was suspicious.

The next morning, Liu Piaopiao wanted to visit the queen.

When she hurt the snake demon before, the snake demon called her name, which means that the snake demon has been hiding in the palace before, and has investigated the information of each of them.

The other party knew them, and she had to find information about the other party.

For example, how did the snake demon hide in the palace before?What is hidden identity?
Does everyone around the snake demon know about it?How much do you know?
The queen's palace was very quiet, and there were many people sweeping the yard.

Seeing female cultivators dressed in white visiting, they saluted gracefully.

"I have something to find the queen, please pass it on to me."

After hearing her words, someone soon went in to report.

The young girl with an immature face came out of the room and was surprised to see the woman.

"Sister Piao Piao!"

Holding up the hem of her clothes, she walked quickly to Liu Piaopiao, her eyes bright.

Thinking of the title she called out, the little girl asked nervously, "You don't mind if I call you that?"

Her baby-fat face was poked by the woman, and a small dimple was poked out of her fleshy and tender face.

The woman smiled and said, "It's okay, you can call me whatever you want."

Lu Yun led the female cultivator in white into the room, poured a cup of tea and handed it over.

Liu Piaopiao caught it with both hands, and took a sip.

Thinking of her reason for coming, she planned to get straight to the point.

The affairs in the palace still need to be presided over by the queen in front of her.

"I came to see you today, Yunyun, because I need your help with something." Since the other party called her Sister Piao Piao, it shouldn't matter if she called her a little closer.

Hearing that she needed her help, the young queen showed a puzzled look.

"What's the matter?" She tilted her head and asked.

She will do her best as long as she can.

Liu Piaopiao thought for a while, and said in detail: "The evil in the palace is a big snake demon. She was hidden in the palace before. I would like to invite you to hold a banquet to see who is absent, so that we can find out who It's a hidden snake demon."

The snake demon is being chased now, so her hidden role must be vacant.

If you can know who is vacant, the snake demon will not be able to hide it easily when he comes back.

Even if he wants to do evil again and replace someone, he will definitely leave clues.

Hearing the woman's explanation, Lu Yun's face became serious.

She raised her arms and said solemnly: "Leave this little matter on me."

Since it's about eliminating demons, she will definitely do her best to help.

This is not only about the demon extermination disciples, but also about the whole country, the royal family, and her duty.

Liu Piaopiao added: "Actually, there is one more thing. Didn't many nobles in the palace get poisoned before? There are many accomplices of the snake monster lurking in the palace. If you can find out the hidden identity of the snake monster, you can see Anyone who has been in contact with her can follow the clues to find out who the accomplice is."

She really didn't have the energy to find them one by one, but she was willing to provide clues to the victims.

For ordinary people's affairs, ordinary people can find solutions to each other.

Lu Yun asked: "When will Sister Piao Piao want to hold a banquet?"

Liu Piaopiao replied, "The sooner the better, right? I'm afraid that snake monster will lurk back to the palace again."

The little girl looked firm and solemn: "Okay, then I will notify the palaces now and invite people in the harem to enjoy the flowers in the garden at noon."

Although Lu Yun was young, she came from a big family and had been taught about being a housekeeper.

Even though the time was short, she still managed the banquet in a decent manner, and even the queen mother was invited to attend.

Liu Piaopiao sat next to the two most powerful women in the harem, watching the women chattering at the bottom, talking about things in the palace with great interest.

The little emperor is still very young, and there are still very few concubines under his name, and more women seem to be the same generation as the queen mother.

It should belong to the rank of concubine, still living in the harem, and not sent to Qingxiu.

Thinking about it, it was because there was a problem with the emperor's sacrifice to heaven, and there was something like a monster, otherwise he would have been sent away.

For these concubines, staying in the palace for one more day is probably earning money.

If you are a widow in Qingxiu, your life will become poor.
