Qinghe Immortal Clan.

The powerful strength shown by the hunchbacked old man before also made Qiu Wuxin realize that the white-clothed women and their group had some extraordinary origins. They were definitely not ordinary local cultivators, but most likely disciples from major sects in other cultivation circles.

Although a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake, even if the women in white are really disciples of a Yuanying sect from the outside world, Qiu Wuxin is not afraid of offending the other party in the "Tianhai Immortal Cultivation World".

However, if the woman in white is really a core disciple of a Nascent Soul sect in some other cultivation world, she might have some useful self-defense methods left by her elders when she travels outside.

Faced with such foreign cultivators whose background was unknown and who possessed many high-level magical weapons and spiritual objects, even a genius like Qiu Wuxin, who had been trained by the Yuanying Sect since childhood, showed a bit of caution on his face.

Although he is arrogant, Qiu Wuxin has been able to cultivate all the way to the ninth level of the Golden Core Realm. Naturally, he is not a simple-minded or rash person.

Even though he already had an absolute advantage, Qiu Wuxin still tried to attack the woman's heart first to see if he could save himself some energy and let the woman in white hand over the "Thunder Infant Fruit" on her own initiative.

However, facing Qiu Wuxin's verbal temptation, the woman in white had a very firm expression on her face, and she did not waver at all because of the danger she was in.

While casting a spell to control the flying boat under her feet, the woman in white took out a third-level intermediate-grade talisman, turned it into a giant axe, and chopped towards Qiu Wuxin who was chasing her closely behind her, trying to force the other party back and create some distance between them.

"Humph! You really don't know what's good for you. Do you think you can escape with this little ability?"

Seeing that the woman in white not only ignored what he said, but also dared to take the initiative to attack him, Qiu Wuxin looked a little displeased.

After a roar of anger, the "Lihuo Chixin Sword" in Qiu Wuxin's hand turned into a powerful red blood light and rushed forward, not taking the opponent's attack seriously at all.

A moment later, the red blood light and the giant axe released by the woman in white collided in the air.

However, under the powerful attack of the red blood light, the giant axe only lasted for a short while before quickly disappearing between heaven and earth. It did not help the woman in white to block Qiu Wuxin for long.

Seeing that the talisman attack she had launched was easily blocked by the opponent, the woman in white suddenly showed a look of surprise on her face.

Faced with Qiu Wuxin, she seemed to be helpless and could only desperately increase her magic power to speed up the flying boat under her feet and escape from here.

But the cultivation level of the woman in white was much lower than that of Qiu Wuxin after all. Although she tried her best to cast spells to get rid of her opponent, as expected, Qiu Wuxin went around her and blocked her way a quarter of an hour later.

"Daoyou, that's enough for today!"

Seeing Qiu Wuxin with a frosty look in front of her, who was ready to attack her, the woman in white, who had originally had a very determined expression, now had a hint of panic in her eyes.

"Wait a minute, my fellow Taoist! I have something else to say!"

Perhaps she knew she could not escape, the woman in white no longer had the calmness she had before. After shouting to Qiu Wuxin in panic, she took out a wooden box that was tied around her waist.

"You are indeed amazing, my friend. Even Elder Qi couldn't hold you back. It's not unfair that we lost today. Since you came here just for this thing, then since you won it, you can take it!

But before that, you must make me a promise that you will not trouble us again and let the three of us leave the secret realm safely. Otherwise, even if I destroy this thing today, I will not let you get what you want."

After she finished speaking, a strange blue flame appeared in the hand of the woman in white. The flame quickly wrapped around the wooden box, continuously emitting bursts of blazing light, as if it would burn the wooden box in her hand to ashes in the next moment.

Seeing that the other party was actually using the "Thunder Infant Fruit" to threaten him, Qiu Wuxin, who was not far away, suddenly showed a hint of displeasure on his face.

But when he saw the serious look on the white-clothed woman's face and that she was not talking nonsense, Qiu Wuxin hesitated for a moment and took the initiative to stop the "Lihuo Chixin Sword" in mid-air that was about to attack the opponent.

Seeing that the scarlet flying sword not far away finally stopped, the woman in white, who had been tense all the time, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"We in Luofeng Valley have no life-and-death feud with you. Today, I am here only to obtain the Thunder Infant Fruit. As long as you hand over this thing, there will be nothing to argue about between us, and you can naturally leave safely.

Don't worry, fellow Daoist. Luofeng Valley is a large Yuanying sect after all, and we won't go back on our words. As long as you don't go against us, it's your own business to go wherever you want. I can guarantee here that Luofeng Valley will not cause you any trouble again."

Hearing Qiu Wuxin's solemn promise, the white-clothed woman's expression did not change much. She shook her head calmly and said:
"Although you are from a Nascent Soul Sect, I still find it hard to believe your empty promise. I hope you won't regret it after you get the spiritual object."

Seeing that the other party didn't believe him, Qiu Wuxin didn't show much surprise on his face, and replied directly: "Then what kind of guarantee do you want to be satisfied? You might as well tell me directly!"

"I don't have the Soul Contract with me this time, so I won't trouble you. But if I want you to trust me, you must first swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao. This shouldn't be too much to ask of you, right?"

The Soul Contract is a contract that can bind both parties together in life and death. It places great restrictions on cultivators. Generally, unless they encounter a matter of life and death, few cultivators would be willing to take the initiative to sign such a contract with others.

The oath to the Heavenly Dao mentioned by the woman in white is relatively simple. It is an oath that the cultivator makes directly to the Heavenly Dao of this world. It does not require too many complicated steps, nor does it require the preparation of a contract note in advance.

However, the credibility of the Heavenly Dao Oath and the restrictions it places on ordinary cultivators are far less than those of the Soul Contract.

Even if a cultivator breaks his oath to the Heaven after taking it, it will only affect his state of mind when he breaks through to a higher level of cultivation. He may not be favored by the Heaven, and may cause inner demons to enter his body, leading to failure in breaking through the realm. It does not pose a direct threat to the life and death of the cultivator.

This kind of contract, which has a relatively low cost, is also a common form of agreement used by many ordinary cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation when making promises to each other.

Although the Heavenly Dao Oath will only have some impact when one breaks through to a major realm in cultivation, it has no restrictions at all on those cultivators whose paths have already been ruined and have no hope of breaking through to the next major realm.

But for a cultivator like Qiu Wuxin who has already cultivated to the ninth level of the Golden Core and has a high probability of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, the situation is somewhat different.

If he violates his oath to heaven, it may not have any impact on Qiu Wuxin for a while, but when he breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage in the future, the inner demon will enter his body and there is a high possibility that he will fail to break through the stage and his path to breakthrough will be ruined.

It was precisely because of this that the woman in white took the initiative to ask Qiu Wuxin to swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao.

"Since you insist, I can agree to it, but this is my final bottom line. If you dare to ask me for anything else later, don't blame me for not warning you in advance."

After hearing the other party's request, Qiu Wuxin was silent for a moment, then nodded in agreement with the other party and swore an oath to the heaven to the woman in white.

Seeing that the other party was so straightforward, the woman in white nodded with satisfaction. Without much hesitation, she threw the wooden box in her hand directly towards Qiu Wuxin's location.

After handing over the wooden box in her hand, the woman in white did not stay there, but turned around and fled in another direction.

But before her flying boat could get far away, a golden light suddenly appeared from the side. The woman in white hurriedly stopped the flying boat and dodged sideways. When she turned around, a majestic golden lion was already blocking her way.

The woman in white had seen this "Golden Lion Puppet Beast" before. Qiu Wuxin had used it to restrain her female companion in black. When she knew who was attacking her, she immediately turned around with a look of shock.

"Fellow Daoist Qiu, what do you mean? You have just made a vow to the Heavenly Dao, why are you still unwilling to let me go?"

Seeing the surprise on the face of the woman in white, Qiu Wuxin, who was holding the wooden box that the other party had just thrown to him, suddenly showed a look of pride on his face.

"Haha! Fellow Daoist, you are really naive. I have made this kind of oath to the heaven at least seven or eight times before, if not ten times. I don't care about it anymore.

Perhaps you will think that inner demons blocking the path of cultivation have a great impact on the breakthrough of a cultivator, but for me, this is actually nothing to be afraid of. The worst that can happen is that when I break through, I can just find one or two more spiritual objects that can restrain the inner demons.

Compared to this, I am more afraid that I will not have the opportunity to break through in the future. If I don’t even have the opportunity to go one step further, what is the point of having inner demons blocking our way?

Daoist friend, you have been practicing for so many years, how come you can't even see through such a simple truth."

"Your Excellency seems to be upright on the surface, but I didn't expect that you are such a shameless person behind the scenes. You can even betray the oath you made to the Heavenly Dao so easily."

"Haha. The world of immortal cultivation is a place where the strong prey on the weak. No matter if you are a righteous person or a shameless person, in the end, whoever is stronger has the right words!

Do you think that those high and mighty Yuanying ancestors are all good people?
To be able to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage, which one of them did not climb up by stepping on the corpses of countless low-level cultivators? How many of them dare to say that they have never done anything wrong?
There are so many shameless people in this world of immortal cultivation, and there is no shortage of people like me."

Seeing the frustrated look on the white-clothed woman's face as she scolded him, Qiu Wuxin felt even more proud at this moment, and he felt a sense of pleasure as if he had played a trick on his opponent.

But facing Qiu Wuxin's inconsistency, the woman in white was very angry at the moment, but she did not appear too panicked, and continued to ask: "Fellow Daoist, if you don't let me go, what else do you want?

It's been so long, Qi Lao and the others should be catching up soon, I advise you to quit while you're ahead, otherwise you'll end up with nothing."

Although the woman in white was very serious, her words made Qiu Wuxin burst out laughing on the spot. "Haha! Daoist friend, I really admire your naivety now. You dare to bargain with me at this time.

Yes, your two companions are really powerful. Even I would have a hard time dealing with them, but it won't be that difficult to deal with you. Even if they catch up with us now, you won't be able to leave here safely.

Since you just voluntarily handed over the "Thunder Infant Fruit", I don't want to make things too extreme. If you are willing to voluntarily hand over your storage magic weapon, I can let you leave here."

"You just went back on your word and now you are trying to deceive me like this. Am I really so naive in your eyes?
I don't think your suggestion is a good one at all. It would be better if you just let me go."

Hearing Qiu Wuxin's cold threat, the anger on the face of the woman in white had long disappeared. She first shook her head calmly and directly rejected his proposal, and then a look of relief appeared on her face.

"Hmph! Do you think you still have a choice now?" Seeing the woman in white suddenly say this, Qiu Wuxin snorted coldly, and the "Lihuo Chixin Sword" that had been surrounding him suddenly emitted a blood-red light.

"Your Excellency has finally managed to trick the Thunder Infant Fruit out of me, and you haven't even opened it to take a look. Do you really trust me so much?"

Just when Qiu Wuxin was about to take action against the woman in white, something she suddenly said made him stop suddenly and look at his waist.

The wooden box, which was originally shining with a hint of white lightning, suddenly turned pitch black, and crackling sounds of lightning and thunder could be heard from it.

"This is... This is not the Thunder Infant Fruit!"

Seeing this scene, Qiu Wuxin's face was filled with shock. He quickly threw the wooden box around his waist into the air, moving it away from himself.

But just as he threw the wooden box out, it suddenly exploded in the air. Before Qiu Wuxin could react, a black iron cage flashing white light immediately put him in.

"You have such a small trick, and you dare to show off in front of me!"

Qiu Wuxin, who was put into a black iron cage, did not show any panic on his face when he saw that this thing could only trap the enemy but had no attack power. He hurriedly controlled the "Lihuo Chixin Sword" outside and turned the sword light to stab the iron cage in an attempt to free himself.

However, this black iron cage, facing the attack of the fourth-level magic weapon "Lihuo Chixin Sword", was surprisingly very solid and was not destroyed by his sword.

“Although my Tiangang Ice Prison Talisman is a trivial skill, it is made from the skin of a fourth-level sea monster. Although its power is not as strong as a fourth-level talisman, it is also incomparable to an ordinary third-level high-quality talisman.

This is a rare treasure of mine. If fellow Taoist hadn’t pressed me too hard today, I would really be reluctant to take it out!

Although this trick can fool ordinary people, with your cultivation level, you shouldn't be fooled so easily. It's your fault that you are too greedy. You asked for spiritual fruits but you are not satisfied. Now you get nothing!"

Seeing that Qiu Wuxin was trying hard to use the "Lihuo Chixin Sword" to attack the black iron cage beside him, the woman in white did not look too worried. She even came to the black cage and laughed at the trapped Qiu Wuxin.

When the woman in white was caught up by Qiu Wuxin, she was already helpless and voluntarily handed over the wooden box. Inside was not the "Thunder Infant Fruit" she mentioned, but a powerful third-grade top-quality talisman.

This "Tiangang Ice Prison Talisman" originally carried a trace of ice and thunder spiritual energy. Before being placed in the wooden box, it was tampered with by the woman in white, deliberately disguising it as a high-level spiritual object with thunder attributes. It is indeed difficult to find any abnormality without opening the wooden box and taking a closer look.

In addition, the woman in white deliberately pretended to compromise and acted very serious when forcing Qiu Wuxin to swear the oath to the Heavenly Dao. This also made him not expect that the other party had been plotting against him from the very beginning.

After all, the cultivation level of the woman in white was only the sixth level of Golden Core. Compared with Qiu Wuxin who held a fourth-level magic weapon, the gap in strength was not small, which indeed made Qiu Wuxin relax his guard against her.

When he just took the wooden box, Qiu Wuxin was so anxious to intercept the woman in white who wanted to take the opportunity to escape that he was in no hurry to open the wooden box, nor did he notice anything unusual inside in time. This is how he finally fell into the trap designed for him by the woman in white.

"The Tiangang Ice Prison Talisman can at least trap you for half an hour. Fellow Daoist, please stay here peacefully. I will take the Thunder Infant Fruit first. I'm sorry I can't keep you company any longer!"

After mocking Qiu Wuxin for a few words, the woman in white took out another wooden box containing the "Thunder Infant Fruit" from her waist, deliberately showed it off in front of the other party, then turned around with a smile and turned into a beam of light, ready to escape from here.

Just as the woman in white turned to leave, a white light suddenly appeared in front of her, and then a black figure appeared out of nowhere in front of her and stopped her.

"Senior Sister Yu, why is it you? Has Elder Qi escaped as well?"

Seeing the woman in black who suddenly appeared in front of her and was looking at her happily, the woman in white instinctively showed a look of joy on her face.

Just when she wanted to say hello to her companions, she suddenly felt something was wrong in her mind and quickly stopped.

"No, you are not Senior Sister Yu!" The white-clothed woman's expression changed slightly. After shouting, she released a sharp sword blade directly at the black-clothed woman in the distance.

The black-clothed woman's expression did not change at all when facing such a sharp sword. After being hit by the sword, she quickly dispersed in front of the white-clothed woman and turned into a group of colorful golden butterflies.

These golden butterflies flashed dazzling light and soon came to the woman in white and surrounded her.

"Who are you, sir? Why are you hiding here and sneaking up on me?"

The woman in white asked, but no one around answered her. After being surrounded by these golden butterflies, she immediately took out a magic flying sword in her hand, and sent out several sword lights to kill several butterflies around her, trying to quickly get rid of the harassment of these butterflies.

However, although these golden butterflies did not look powerful, there were too many of them. The woman in white killed dozens of them in a row, but the number of golden butterflies around her did not decrease but increased a lot.

"This spirit insect, could it be a trick?"

After realizing that she had just killed several golden butterflies but no bodies were left behind, the woman in white realized that these spiritual teas seemed to be illusions.

Seeing this, the woman in white cast a spell and took out a white magic bead and placed it on the top of her head. A white light flashed, and the hundreds of golden butterflies that were originally surrounding her suddenly disappeared, leaving only a dozen or so still surrounding her.

Just as the woman in white broke the illusion of the spirit insect in front of her and was about to leave, five rays of spiritual light suddenly fell from the sky and transformed into five bronze mirrors that surrounded the woman in white.

Before the woman in white could cast a spell to break the cage, the five bronze mirrors surrounding her quickly shot out a dozen purple rays of light, freezing her body in mid-air, unable to move.

Just as the woman in white was casting a spell to get rid of the control of the purple aura, a man in green came out from one of the bronze mirrors, stepped forward and snatched the small wooden box containing the "Thunder Infant Fruit" from the waist of the woman in white.

"Fellow Daoist, this is indeed a good move. I never thought that I would end up benefiting you by fighting him!"

The woman in white, who had just cast a spell to break free from the restraints of the purple spiritual light, saw Song Qingming standing not far from her, checking the wooden box in his hand with his back to her, and uttered something unwillingly.

In order to escape Qiu Wuxin's pursuit, she had already consumed a large amount of her magic power. Later, she cast a spell to activate a high-level "Tiangang Ice Prison Talisman". Now she has not much magic power left.

And this man in green who suddenly appeared was able to approach her silently and snatch the "Thunder Infant Fruit" from her hand so quickly. It seems that he is superior to her in both personal cultivation and fighting ability.

She had clearly trapped Qiu Wuxin successfully, but who could have thought that at the last moment, another person would suddenly appear and rob the "Thunder Infant Fruit", taking away the fruits of victory that originally belonged to her.

Thinking that so many people had worked for so long, only to end up making wedding dresses for others, the woman in white looked at Song Qingming with a look of resentment and unwillingness on her face.

On Song Qingming's side, after confirming that the spiritual fruit in the wooden box was exactly the "Thunder Infant Fruit" that Feng He had mentioned to him before, a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.

Then he took out a cloth bag that he had prepared long ago, carefully packed it in, and put it on his back around his waist. Then he turned around and looked at the woman in white not far away.

"why is it you again!"

After seeing Song Qingming's face clearly, the woman in white couldn't help but exclaim in surprise when she saw that the person who snatched the "Thunder Infant Fruit" from her hand was actually the one who had robbed her companion's formation plate outside before.

When she thought that every time the other party appeared, he seemed to have something bad to do to her, the woman in white looked at Song Qingming with a bit more disgust in her eyes.

"If I had known this would happen, I should have chased him away outside the Wind and Thunder Palace!"

The woman in white felt a pang of regret at this moment, but she didn't dare to show it too much in front of Song Qingming. She could only look at him with some displeasure.

Seeing that the other party was so surprised after seeing him, Song Qingming did not show any surprise on his face. He smiled slightly at the woman in white, waved his hand and put away the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" that trapped the other party.

"It is indeed fate that I have met you several times!" (End of this chapter)
