Chapter 289 Decision, Negotiation, and Stimulation
Chapter 289 Decision, Negotiation, and Stimulation
"Brother Yu, why are you so shocked and angry?" The other two handsome men quickly stood up and asked.
Yu Xuqiu slowly restrained his aura that had suddenly burst out. He said in a deep voice, "My sister's death talisman has just been activated."
"What? Someone dared to kill your sister?!" The two were extremely shocked. Only when death was inevitable would the death talisman automatically activate to protect the master. In other words, if it weren't for this life-saving talisman, Yu Xuqiu's sister would have died.
This can be considered to have touched the bottom line of Yu Xuqiu, the son of the underworld.
"My two Taoist brothers, I am concerned about my sister's safety, so I will take my leave now." Yu Xuqiu said politely with a fist salute.
"It's okay. Since we have nothing else to do, how about we go with Brother Yu? I also want to see who is so bold as to attack the relatives of Saint Mingzi."
"Okay!" Yu Xuqiu didn't hesitate too much. After a little thought, he agreed directly.
Three streams of light rushed away into the distance.
……
Jian Yi was a little surprised when he saw the white light carrying the woman away. But he soon felt relieved, thinking that she was lucky.
He turned around and looked at the other man and woman. They both immediately broke out in cold sweats, their hearts almost jumping out of their chests.
"You, you, don't come here..."
"Don't, don't come over, I'm sorry, don't, don't kill me..."
The two were obviously frightened at this moment. This madman even dared to kill Mingzi's sister, let alone the two of them.
"Tsk tsk!" Jian Yi sneered. He ignored the two insignificant people and turned around to leave slowly.
By the time he returned to the banquet venue with a full load of spoils, less than an hour had passed.
Wu Qinghuan was sitting there in a daze at this time. Jiang Rou on the side tried to persuade him to leave for a while. Jian Yi threw all his spoils onto the stone table next to them.
"Here, these are apologies from those with dirty mouths. See if there are any you like. If you like them, keep them for yourself, and as for the rest, you can sell them or give them away, it's up to you." Jian Yi said.
Jiang Rou stared at the glittering trophies in amazement.
"You, you robbed all those people?"
Jian Yi remained noncommittal.
"You, how dare you? Do you know that some of them have powerful elders behind them? No, this, this is Yu Lin'er's thing, and you even dare to touch her?" Jiang Rou felt dizzy.
"Isn't she the culprit? Isn't she the one who cannot be let off the most?" Jian Yi said with a little doubt.
"Her brother is Mingzi, and he's a protective person. I think you'd better run away quickly. When Yuxuqiu comes back, if she complains, you won't be able to leave even if you want to." Jiang Rou thought that Jian Yi had only robbed Yulin'er, but she didn't know that the other party almost died, and Yuxuqiu was already on his way back as fast as he could.
After all, this man was also being plotted against. Although she felt that he had taken advantage of Wu Qingqiu and was really despicable, she would not go so far as to watch him being killed by Yu Xuqiu.
Jian Yi didn't look at her, but turned his gaze to Wu Qingqiu: "Miss Wu, what about you? Do you also think I should hurry up and escape?"
Wu Qingqiu withdrew her gaze from the many familiar trophies on the table. She felt complicated. Just because of a few words from her good friend, this person went after those who spoke rudely to her without any care.
These spoils were extremely valuable. She knew the personalities of those people and they would never give them up easily. They must have suffered enough before they compromised. No matter what, she couldn't ignore their importance.
"You, go! Try to hide your tracks as much as possible!" After a long silence, she finally spoke.
"Do you also think I should run away like a stray dog?"
"You only have one life, and acting on impulse will only lead to regrets."
Jian Yi stared at her for a moment, then said slowly: "How about we make a deal? If I can beat Yu Xuqiu, then you and I will become Taoist companions. If I lose, I will die, but even if I don't die, I will never mention this matter again from now on. What do you think?"
"Why are you so stubborn? Mingzi can't even defeat powerful monks easily. Not only are they powerful themselves, but they also have all kinds of means and trump cards. Even if you have some strength, how can you be compared with these favored ones?!" Jiang Rou advised earnestly.
Jian Yi did not argue any more, and a terrifying pressure slowly emanated from him. This time, he was unreserved. The two women's eyes slowly rose with a tremor from the depths of their souls, as if an ancient evil demon had torn off its disguise in front of them and revealed its true face.
……
Ten thousand meters above the Fantasy Moon Continent, a colorful mirage is suspended.
"Huh? Didn't you say you wanted to discuss serious matters? Why are there only a few people here?" A dark yellow shadow appeared out of nowhere, stepped in, and saw only five shadows sitting in the building. He said in a somewhat surprised tone.
"Kong Lingzi, please take a seat! Other Taoist friends are either in seclusion or exploring the secret realm of the void and cannot get away for the time being. You are the last one and the others will not be here." The other five people were also phantom incarnations, with different colors, which was related to the skills they practiced.
"Oh, I see!" Kong Lingzi spoke, and then found a seat and sat down.
"Everyone, this time I invited you to discuss the matter of the great catastrophe." The tall shadow sitting in the main seat spoke in a deep voice.
"Didn't we discuss this last time? We should focus resources on training those disciples with better talents and potential, and let them strengthen their cultivation of spiritual consciousness. What else can we say?" Kong Lingzi said. When one's strength reaches the Sky Realm, unless their life span is exhausted, there are very few accidents that can cause their demise, even a catastrophe is no exception.
It’s just that they have sects, forces, and blood relatives behind them, so in order to ensure their inheritance, they have to deal with the catastrophe with caution.
"The great catastrophe will come in as little as a dozen years, or as long as thirty to fifty years. This should give us plenty of time to prepare."
"The original prediction was too optimistic, and now something unexpected has happened." A pale green shadow below the leading shadow said. "The madman from ten thousand years ago has already sent his vanguard to the Fantasy Moon Continent." After the other party said this, he suddenly threw a head onto the long table.
"A month ago, I accidentally felt a strange spatial fluctuation. I went to check it out and found that a huge stone appeared in the southern region, and a demon corpse walked out of the stone. Its strength was probably at the second level of the Earth Gang Realm, but after it devoured several mortal villages, its strength increased significantly. Later, I found and killed it." said the pale green shadow.
"Oh? Is this the corpse-raising land that the madman got, and the demon corpse that was bred?" Kong Lingzi raised his hand and the head fell into his hand. He looked at it carefully. The head was as hard as iron, and there were some silver substances inside.
"Sixteen thousand years ago, that madman suddenly appeared, created his own unique magic skills, enslaved many sects' geniuses for his own use, and turned the entire Fantasy Moon Continent upside down. Eventually, the situation became more and more serious. The madman's power did not weaken in the constant encirclement and suppression, but became stronger and stronger. Finally, all the immortal sects' ancestors joined forces to suppress him at all costs, and only then did they force the madman and his men into a desperate situation.
Many immortal sects were also seriously injured because of this. In order to reduce casualties, the ancestors surrounded them but did not kill them, intending to slowly trap them to death. Unexpectedly, during the siege, a rare and violent space turbulence tide broke out in that Jedi. An ownerless small world that had never been discovered by the cultivators suddenly emerged in the tide, and was finally recognized and controlled by the madman, allowing them to escape by chance.
By the time the ancestors realized something was wrong, the madman and his followers had already entered the spooky little world, and followed that little world into the void, disappearing in the turbulence of space.
"After that madman escaped, the entire continent was in a state of restlessness, always on guard against his return one day to destroy all the sects. At that time, a Sky Realm Third Layer ancestor who was approaching the end of his life used forbidden techniques to deduce the location of that small world, and then let all the surviving Sky Realm cultivators at that time cross the void to hunt him down and kill him once and for all.
As a result, after exhausting all his vitality, he realized that the madman actually possessed an immortal object, which would return to the Fantasy Moon Continent with the wandering small world ten thousand years later, causing a monstrous catastrophe. "
"According to the sect's ancient books, that small world is filled with ghostly spirits, making it an ideal place to raise corpses. That madman possesses immortal objects from the upper realm, so he can seal himself in it and avoid wasting time. The many tribesmen he enslaves can become excellent materials for cultivating demon corpses." Another shadow spoke.
"After raising corpses for 16,000 years, I thought those corpses would have at least the fifth or sixth level of the Earthly Realm, or even the strength of the Dao Lord or Sky Realm. But this demon corpse..." Kong Lingzi looked at the demon corpse's head in his hand, extremely puzzled.
The mere second level of the Di Gang Realm is no different from an ant to these Tian Qiong Realm cultivators.
"Don't jump to conclusions. This may just be a failed product. This invitation is to remind you fellow Taoists. I estimate that there will not be only one of these demon corpses. As the catastrophe approaches, they will probably appear continuously.
Fellow Taoists, it is best for you to divide your respective surveillance areas and pay close attention to unusual spatial fluctuations. If these demon corpses are not killed immediately, they will surely cause chaos on the continent and cause unrest." The leading shadow stated the purpose of this gathering.
"Alas... It seems that I won't have a rest in the future." Kong Lingzi sighed when he heard this. Since he was promoted to the Sky Realm, he has been wantonly indulging himself, traveling around the world, and being unrestrained. This feeling of being restrained by being assigned a task has not been felt for a long time.
"However, the madman's followers were killed and only 100 or 200 people were left, right? There are only so many demon corpses at most. The most terrifying thing in the catastrophe is the madman himself. As long as he doesn't die, he can enslave many monks to work for him in a short period of time. The magic skills he created are really powerful."
"That's why we have to let those disciples focus on practicing the secret art of spiritual consciousness. Only when the power of spiritual consciousness is improved can the resistance be slightly improved."
"It is said that the slave-controlling techniques of the three spiritual tribes, Feng, Mu, and Shi, evolved from the incomplete techniques obtained from the madman's cave. Over the years, none of the three spiritual tribes have had rebellious slaves!"
Unlike other cultivators who need the other party to relax their minds and actively cooperate in planting a slave mark, the three great spirit races can still plant a slave mark even if the recipient puts up all his strength to resist. From then on, the recipient will never betray and will never realize that he or she is being enslaved.
Just like the Wind Tribe girl, who used the Slave Suppression Ring to blatantly capture slaves in front of Uncle Heng. You know, he himself might have had the same experience as Jian Yi, except that the person he captured was the mother of the Wind Tribe girl. But even if he personally participated in capturing slaves, he would never be suspicious and would only obey his master wholeheartedly.
There was once a monk who was enslaved by the Wind Clan. He was later subdued and found by his relatives and friends. However, even if he was told everything that happened to him in detail, the other party turned a blind eye, as if he was talking to a cow, and was completely unaware of the reality of being enslaved by the Wind Clan monks.
"Sixteen thousand years! Even if that madman is lucky enough to get some immortal things, can he really keep himself sealed for that long? Is it possible that he has already become a demon corpse?" Even for the top cultivators at the third level of the Sky Realm, the normal lifespan would not exceed two thousand five hundred years.
A group of Sky Realm monks sighed and speculated that for now, they could only take one step at a time.
……
Chiyun City, inside Xu Feng’s residence.
After more than a year of getting along, he became more and more familiar with Fu Yuehe, but this familiarity had little to do with recovering past memories, but was cultivated through daily interaction.
As Sikong Hongyu successfully advanced to the ninth level of the Human Yuan Realm, she became more and more anxious about Xu Feng's memory recovery.
The reason why she was able to improve so quickly was, on the one hand, because she had no shortage of cultivation resources and the help of medicinal blood, and on the other hand, it was also because she had stayed in the sixth level of the Human Yuan Realm for a long time and had abundant basic knowledge.
In addition to the entry level of cultivation, the third to fourth level, and the sixth to seventh level are all major bottlenecks. Generally, cultivators with some talent will not break through hastily, but will continue to accumulate and increase their foundation. Finally, they will be able to make a breakthrough in one fell swoop and at the same time, they can also advance to the next major bottleneck at the fastest speed and repeat this process.
Fu Yuehe's performance disappointed her. According to the report of the twin guards, although she had some effect, it was far from her expectations. Xu Feng must regain his sanity, otherwise she would not dare to take such an uncontrollable person to the main city of the Western Region.
She heard that people who have lost their memory have a chance of recovering under great stimulation.
"Hua Ji, it depends on your fate." Sikong Hongyu made the decision with a cold heart.
So on this day, when Fu Yuehe was taking care of Xu Feng's daily life as usual, she was completely unaware of the danger. Although Xu Feng still didn't think of her, he had become more and more dependent on her, and sometimes smiled at her, which was a great satisfaction for her who had been waiting beside the cocoon, not knowing whether Xu Feng was alive or dead.
The elder sister of one of the twin guards received the order and came quietly behind her. In front of Xu Feng, she suddenly attacked and pierced Fu Yuehe from behind with a sword.
"Sorry, this is the young lady's order." Her cold voice reached Fu Yuehe's ears. Then, she drew her sword and turned away.
If her death can awaken Xu Feng's memory, then she still has a chance of survival, and the lady's goal can be achieved smoothly. If Xu Feng watched her die in front of his eyes and was indifferent, then it would be the price of her betrayal, and it also showed that Fu Yuehe was nothing in Xu Feng's heart.
At least, using her to help Xu Feng recover his memory wouldn't work.
Sikong Hongyu was not afraid that Xu Feng would come after her for this matter after he regained his memory. If they both suffered, they would both suffer, and if she was hurt, she would also be hurt.
Not only was Fu Yuehe totally unexpected of this sudden turn of events, but Xu Feng was also so stunned that he froze in place.
