Chapter 18 Hidden Bees to Subdue the Enemy
The dark-skinned senior brother's face immediately tightened. Although Lu Qingyun's cultivation was low, he shouldn't be able to get any useful information from him.
But over the past few days, he realized that the other party was not someone who spoke without reason.
Therefore, he immediately asked, "What happened?"
Lu Qingyun's expression was solemn. He looked in the direction of Sun Chang and the blue-robed disciple, and said, "Sun Chang—"
"He killed the disciple in blue!"
"What?" The dark-skinned senior brother realized the seriousness of the situation. He stared into Lu Qingyun's eyes, and although he was already seven or eight parts convinced, he still asked, "Is what you're saying true?"
"How did you know that?"
Lu Qingyun pulled a golden spirit bee out of his shirt, and the dark-skinned senior brother suddenly realized what it meant.
He had long known that Lu Qingyun was no ordinary person.
Unexpectedly, I actually possessed this tiny spirit bee.
Although it's not helpful in combat, it's quite good for gathering intelligence.
Immediately afterward, the dark-skinned senior brother felt a chill run down his spine.
Although the Yunxia Sect does not prohibit fighting among its disciples, it does not allow wanton killing.
If Sun Chang were to be found out for doing this, he would surely be taken to the punishment hall and suffer the excruciating pain of having his heart pierced by the Golden Cone Technique.
Unless... the other party already had something to rely on.
And they were confident they wouldn't be caught!
Thinking of this, the two exchanged a glance, and their hearts sank.
It's likely that Sun Changzheng was an inside agent for the Cui family within Beast Taming Peak. With the blue-robed disciple dead, for the sake of safety, the two of them probably won't escape either.
Then, recalling that Sun Chang had previously refused to feed that beast the Blood Essence Pill, the dark-skinned senior brother knew perfectly well that the other party wasn't pitying the little mouse, but simply didn't want to waste it.
Before he could even think, Lu Qingyun's expression changed again: "Senior brother, Sun Changhe and several men in black are chasing after us!"
However, before the dark-skinned senior could react...
A loud booming sound came from the dense forest on the hill ahead.
"Boy! Don't run! You'll leave your life here today!"
A woman in black, her face contorted with rage, unleashed a talisman, then launched a flying sword straight at the purple-clad youth opposite her.
"It's Mu Shan!"
At this moment, seeing Mu Shan running towards them, Lu Qingyun felt no joy whatsoever.
Because the other party did not want to join them, but wanted to drag them down with them, the aura of the woman in black was at least at the sixth level of Qi Refining.
Lu Qingyun's face twitched. It was only his first time leaving the sect, yet he had already encountered such a life-or-death crisis. Could it be that his life was about to end here?
At this moment, the enemy had a large number of people, including a black-clad woman at the sixth level of Qi Refining, as well as many masked cultivators at the first and second levels of Qi Refining.
"Let's split up!"
The dark-skinned senior brother immediately transmitted his voice.
Lu Qingyun nodded slightly.
Although he knew that the dark-skinned senior brother wanted him to attract some of the pursuers.
But separating at this point is the best option, even though the outcome seems to make no difference to him.
"Leave them all behind!" The masked man at the fourth level of Qi Refining ordered immediately, his eyes flashing with ferocity as he saw the two separate.
Lu Qingyun could see clearly that Sun Chang was following behind this guy.
Sun Chang also saw him, but the other party did not chase after Lu Qingyun. Instead, he led a group of people to chase after the dark-skinned senior brother.
Among the crowd, a gloomy-looking young man at the second level of Qi Refining revealed a fierce expression as he looked at Lu Qingyun: "He's just a mere first-level Qi Refining cultivator who has only just begun to draw Qi into his body, yet he dares to meddle in the Shen family's affairs. Uncle, I'll go and stop him."
Although Lu Qingyun's cultivation level was low, he had experienced many hardships in his previous life and was quite good at running.
For a moment, the gloomy young man failed to catch up.
[Swiftness Talisman!]
Seeing Lu Qingyun fleeing towards the Shen family's territory, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and he unleashed a talisman.
Although it was a low-grade first-order talisman, it only took a moment for the golden light to shine brightly, and the gloomy youth caught up with Lu Qingyun.
"Boy, stop struggling! Surrender and I might leave you with a whole corpse."
He summoned a black flying sword, its blade flashing, and swiftly pierced towards Lu Qingyun's back.
The gloomy young man sneered inwardly. This sword strike...
It was practically a sure thing; he could almost picture Lu Qingyun bleeding to death.
"A futile struggle? I doubt it. You might as well take a look behind you."
Lu Qingyun's voice was as calm as water.
The words reached the ears of the gloomy young man.
He looked surprised and instinctively turned around to look.
However, a poisonous bee suddenly stung his eye.
A piercing pain shot through me!
"Ah! You cheated!"
Both were in the early stages of Qi Refining and lacked spiritual consciousness.
Blindness was practically a death sentence for him.
The gloomy young man withdrew his flying sword in terror, tears streaming from his eyes in pain, but he couldn't open them no matter what he did.
He turned around in a panic and tried to escape, knocking down several bushes in the process.
"It's too late."
Lu Qingyun drew a steel flying sword, coated it with magic power, and slashed out with it.
The gloomy young man seemed to realize the danger and pleaded, "Spare me! I am the eldest son of the second branch of the Cui family. If you kill me, the Cui family will not let you off!"
"If only I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place."
Lu Qingyun remained indifferent and thrust out his sword.
The other party was blinded by the spirit bee sting, and without the Foundation Establishment Elixir, he will remain blind for the rest of his life.
With such deep-seated hatred, even if he lets the other party go, how could the other party let him go?
The gloomy young man collapsed to the ground, his breathing abruptly ceasing.
The storage pouch at his waist, no longer bound by magic, opened a small gap.
Lu Qingyun turned to the side and with another sword stroke, severed his neck.
*Clang!*
After the severed head fell to the ground, Lu Qingyun went to the corpse of the gloomy young man and picked up his flying sword and storage bag.
Then they quickly lit a fire and set the other person on fire.
Without further investigation, he quickly crushed a talisman given to him by the young marquis Xiao Daojue and left in the direction of the Shen family.
After a long while, the masked man, addressed as "Uncle," approached the grotesque skeleton of the young man with a grim expression. He gritted his teeth and said, "You wicked scoundrel! I will grind you to dust!"
...
An hour later, Lu Qingyun stopped.
He released the spirit bees and hid them in the canopy of a tree before taking stock of the spoils the shadowy youth had brought him.
He wasn't worried about any tracking methods, because only cultivators at the late stage of Qi Refining could detect traces of magical power and track them using the aura of magical power.
The robbers in this case were clearly not at the late stage of Qi Refining.
The gloomy youth was indeed not wrong.
His status was quite noble, and the everyday clothes in his storage bag were all made of the finest spirit silk.
There weren't many spirit stones, only about forty, but there were two bottles of unknown pills and six low-grade first-tier [Swiftness Talismans] that he had used before.
However, the most precious item among them is the talisman book he possesses, called the "Heavenly Passage Treasure Book," which was written by a talisman master named Heavenly Passage Man.
Although the inheritance is not high, only a first-tier low-grade, it is excellent in its completeness.
This single book of talismans is worth four or five hundred spirit stones.
"If we can go back, we can make a copy for the young marquis."
Lu Qingyun sat cross-legged, his mind as calm as still water, flipping through the book of talismans, and shook his head.
Although this could be described as getting rich overnight, if it weren't for the gloomy young man's foolishness in insisting on chasing him alone...
It remains to be seen who will emerge victorious.
"Life is unpredictable, so one should not take chances. Murder and robbery may be rewarding, but if you walk by the river long enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet."
"The gloomy youth is the best warning I could receive."
