Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record
#158 - Chapter 157 The Enemy Arrives
"Fellow Daoist Deng, you are the person in charge, so please make a decision!"
While Zhang Yuanjing was setting up the formation, a group of cultivators surrounded the place where Six Righteousness had been killed, examining the scene with solemn expressions. After a quarter of an hour, someone finally spoke.
The speaker was a stunningly beautiful female cultivator in her thirties, her voice soft and pleasant, yet naturally carrying an air of condescension. It was none other than Pei Yunxiu, the person in charge of Lang Mountain.
"Mountain Master Pei is joking. Where would I, Deng, have the qualifications to make a decision here?" A middle-aged man in his thirties, looking honest and simple, said with a smile.
"Enough, stop pretending! Deng Yunfei, you usually look like an honest person, but who knew you were a ruthless character who hides a knife behind a smile. That Daoist Zhang, he can be considered a benefactor of your Mo Yun Cave, saving people, and trading scales and divine pills! Instead of thinking about repaying his kindness, you turned around and came up with a bad idea to plot against him. It's true that you can't judge a book by its cover!" Pei Yunxiu's face was like frost, and her voice was as cold as if it had been fished out of ice water.
This middle-aged man was none other than Deng Yunfei, a Foundation Establishment cultivator from Mo Yun Cave, and Min Huiye's martial uncle.
It was said that on that day, Zhang Yuanjing was soft-hearted for a moment and couldn't resist Wu Yuanguang's request, trading a single Spirit Enhancement Pill with him privately. Of course, this matter was also known to Deng Yunfei. He was just a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, and he only half understood the pill's effect on enhancing the divine soul. Later, at the auction, he saw a single Spirit Enhancement Pill being fought over by several late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, selling for a sky-high price of ten thousand spirit stones, and he was deeply shocked. At the same time, he had other thoughts.
Coincidentally, at the auction, he also met his close friend Tong Zhigang from Seven Stars Cave. After talking with him, he finally understood the true wonders of this pill. Returning to Skyscraper Pavilion, he asked Wu Yuanguang for the Spirit Enhancement Pill, but Wu Yuanguang clearly told him that this pill was for his senior brother Lin Xiang to break through his bottleneck. Lin Xiang's cultivation had already reached the great perfection of the mid-stage Foundation Establishment realm. With this pill, he had a more than 50% chance of breaking through and becoming a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, taking over from Wu Yuanguang.
Deng Yunfei also knew that this was the right thing to do and couldn't argue, so he had to retreat in frustration. At this time, he happened to meet Pei Yunxiu from Lang Mountain who had come to Zhang Yuanjing to buy Spirit Enhancement Pills. Zhang Yuanjing insisted that there was only one left and refused Pei Yunxiu.
Deng Yunfei's heart stirred, and an idea immediately popped up. He first found Tong Zhigang, and after discussing it, they felt it was feasible. Then, they contacted Pei Yunxiu. Pei Yunxiu was already full of anger, and when she heard that Zhang Yuanjing had also sold a Spirit Enhancement Pill to Skyscraper Cave, she was immediately furious and agreed. However, she put forward a condition: they had to find at least two more late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, otherwise she wouldn't go.
Tong Zhigang immediately went back and persuaded his senior brother Tianji Sword Jiang Yongqian. Deng Yunfei then stopped the rogue cultivator Xu Shijian, who had participated in the auction and had not yet left Flying Phoenix Valley, thus adding two more late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators. After that, Xu Shijian found a good friend, Long Yuantu, who was also a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. In this way, they gathered four late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators. Pei Yunxiu brought her junior sister Guo Yunfei, who had mid-stage Foundation Establishment strength, for a total of seven people, four late-stage and three mid-stage, which was considered a very strong force.
They had no concerns about ambushing Zhang Yuanjing, an outsider rogue cultivator, and they weren't afraid of the news leaking out afterward. Thus, two days after Zhang Yuanjing left, Pei Yunxiu drove the sect's low-grade Wind-Riding Carriage and chased after him.
The low-grade Wind-Riding Carriage traveled 50,000 miles a day, its speed comparable to that of a Core Formation cultivator's flight. Naturally, it could easily catch up with Zhang Yuanjing and his group. However, they chose the ambush location in the Yu Mountain Marsh, so they had only been tracking from a distance, not getting close. Naturally, they were not discovered by Ape Thirteen, a demon core realm demon beast without divine sense.
When they arrived at the Yu Mountain Marsh, they didn't know what changes had occurred. Hundreds of Howling Moon Wolves gathered and wouldn't leave, blocking the road. They had no choice but to wait. Rogue cultivator Xu Shijian happened to be familiar with Meng Guanghong of Deer Head Mountain. He took out a sound transmission jade and asked, and it just so happened that this person was leading a group of sworn brothers on the north side of the mountain, looking for opportunities to do business without capital. He immediately entrusted him to intercept Zhang Yuanjing.
Who knew that the wolf pack would only disperse after seven days, and there were still more than a dozen Spirit Awakening realm wolf demons wandering in the mountains, reluctant to leave. News came from the front that Zhang Yuanjing and his companion had been discovered. The seven had no choice but to launch a strong attack, using various means and spending a lot of effort and treasures to defeat the wolf pack and rush all the way. However, they could no longer contact Meng Guanghong. They finally arrived at the location, only to find the remains of cultivators eaten beyond recognition by demon beasts.
Seeing the others looking at him, Deng Yunfei coughed lightly and said with a solemn expression, "That Daoist Zhang stopped in a mountain valley and didn't move. I, Deng, believe that he was seriously injured and had to stop to heal. At this time, of course, we must immediately chase after him and strike a fatal blow, not giving him a chance to breathe!"
"Injured? How do you know it's not a trap?" Tianji Sword Jiang Yongqian asked. This person was wearing a white robe, his face like jade, his expression cold, and his eyes like lightning.
Kaiyang Sword Tong Zhigang softly added, "Is your martial nephew still alive? Could it be that Daoist Zhang has already discovered the problem with him and seen through the tracking restriction?"
"This, my martial nephew knows nothing about this matter. Even if Daoist Zhang suspects him, he won't be able to get anything out of him. Of course, he can also kill my martial nephew directly without any evidence. However, as long as he carries that scale armor, he will never escape my tracking."
Deng Yunfei smiled wryly. He didn't think Zhang Yuanjing could discover the restriction he left on the scale armor. At this time, it was best to pursue him closely, rather than wasting time talking here.
The short and stout rogue cultivator Long Yuantu had a loud voice. He immediately shouted, "Fellow Daoist Deng, why not transmit a message and ask your martial nephew, just to test him!"
Tianji Sword Jiang Yongqian glared at him, "If there is no response, how should we interpret that?"
Long Yuantu chuckled and said contemptuously, "Daoist Zhang was suddenly attacked, how could he not be suspicious? And Fellow Daoist Deng's martial nephew is the biggest suspect. If he can still reply, either Zhang Yuanjing asked him to reply, or he secretly replied and was discovered. The result of both is that Zhang Yuanjing knows that someone is plotting to rob him, and we can have a fair fight with him.
"If he sets a trap, we can just wait it out with him. He can't possibly keep shrinking in the Yu Mountain Marsh forever. He is a Great Perfection Foundation Establishment cultivator, doesn't he want to go to Six Peaks Immortal City! If there is no response, then it's hard to say whether he has seen through it or not. But the result is the same, either confrontation or a frontal battle."
Pei Yunxiu's beautiful eyes turned slightly, and she glanced at this boorish man in surprise. She immediately said, "Fellow Daoist Long's words are very insightful. There are so many of us, can't we have a frontal battle with him! Let's do as Fellow Daoist Deng said, immediately chase after him, surround him first, so he doesn't run away again!"
Pei Yunxiu had a noble status, being the person in charge of Lang Mountain, one of the three mountains. Once she said this, everyone naturally nodded in agreement. However, rogue cultivator Xu Shijian secretly winked at Long Yuantu, and his lips moved slightly a few times. A strange look flashed in Long Yuantu's eyes, and then returned to normal.
Immediately, everyone summoned their flying swords and, led by Deng Yunfei, headed straight for Seven Steps Rock. Soon, they found the cave dwelling where Zhang Yuanjing was.
Several late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators swept their divine sense over and all discovered Zhang Yuanjing's aura, which was sometimes strong and sometimes weak.
"Attack directly?" Jiang Yongqian asked Pei Yunxiu.
Pei Yunxiu ignored him and shouted towards the cave dwelling, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, I am Pei Yunxiu from Lang Mountain. The cave dwelling is simple, please come out for a while!"
Jiang Yongqian's pale and handsome face showed a slight anger, but he quickly restrained it.
Zhang Yuanjing had already clearly seen the faces of the seven people. He didn't care about the others, including Deng Yunfei, but he was quite surprised by Pei Yunxiu's appearance. After all, as a disciple of a Core Formation cultivator, there was no need for her to risk coming to do this kind of murder and robbery.
Of course, he didn't expect that this woman simply looked down on his strength, thinking that as long as there were two late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators to cooperate, she could fight him.
"I didn't expect it to be Fellow Daoist Pei, this poor Daoist is very surprised!" Zhang Yuanjing said lightly, his voice carrying far with the attachment of magic power, even though the seven people were cautiously standing a hundred feet away, they could hear it clearly.
Pei Yunxiu's pretty face changed slightly, and then she said coldly, "If Fellow Daoist Zhang sells me three Spirit Enhancement Pills, I will leave immediately and no longer participate in this matter!"
Except for Guo Yunfei, the other five people's expressions changed, but no one said anything. The initiator, Deng Yunfei, could only sneer to express his dissatisfaction with this domineering woman.
"Does Fellow Daoist Pei dare to come in and take them?" Zhang Yuanjing laughed.
Pei Yunxiu's appearance made him highly vigilant because behind this woman was a Core Formation cultivator. If a Core Formation cultivator was lurking behind, then walking out of the cave dwelling would be tantamount to courting death.
"Please Fellow Daoist Zhang come out to trade, I, Pei Yunxiu, keep my word!" Pei Yunxiu's face was still as cold as frost, but her voice was a bit softer.
After that, there was a long silence.
"What do you mean, Fellow Daoist? Please clarify!" Pei Yunxiu couldn't hold back and asked again.
The answer she received was still silence.
At this time, Xu Shijian said, "There are Crowned Pythons here. If we stay here for a long time, we will definitely attract the big python!"
"Attack directly?" Jiang Yongqian asked again, still addressing Pei Yunxiu.
"This person must have some reliance!" Pei Yunxiu's eyes flashed with cold light, and she turned to Long Yuantu and said, "Fellow Daoist Long, in your opinion, should we fight or wait?"
Jiang Yongqian stared at Long Yuantu coldly, his eyes flashing with killing intent.
Long Yuantu smiled indifferently and said in a rough voice, "Of course, we should wait!"
Xu Shijian said worriedly, "The Crowned Python is not easy to deal with!"
Long Yuantu waved his hand and said casually, "This is easy to handle, retreat a little further, find a safe place, and set up camp. In my opinion, unless this Daoist Zhang flies away from the sky on his sword, he can only go out from the same way he came. This person seems shrewd, but he is actually muddle-headed. Setting up a trap here is completely wishful thinking."
Pei Yunxiu nodded and looked at Deng Yunfei, "Fellow Daoist Deng, make a decision!"
Deng Yunfei smiled wryly again and had to nod in agreement.
Thus, the group of seven Foundation Establishment cultivators spoke a few words, then retreated ten miles and built a temporary cave dwelling in a place near the mountain, preparing to wait it out with Zhang Yuanjing for a long time.
