Chapter 188 : Bring More, It's Not Enough to Share!
Chapter 188 : Bring More, It's Not Enough to Share!
Seeing this scene, the disciples from various major sects were stunned.
While they had been worrying that Chu Sang had been swallowed by the pagoda without a trace, with some who had been wronged by her sincerely preparing to mourn her passing, she had turned the tables and subdued both person and pagoda?!
So she had stayed inside for so long, not because she couldn't get out, but because she was planning to seize the treasure!
"This Demon-Locking Pagoda is truly a divine artifact. You just subdued and contracted it like that?" someone asked, puzzled. "Isn't this Qin Xixue's magical tool? How could her divine artifact be so easily contracted by someone else? Has her spiritual mark on the magical tool been erased?"
"Heh, is it possible that she never had the ability to leave a spiritual mark on the Demon-Locking Pagoda in the first place?" Zhao Yun snorted lightly. Having been oppressed for so long, he rarely had a chance to show off. He crossed his arms and raised his chin, saying disdainfully, "You should know that divine artifacts are very proud. With her weak strength and cultivation, she's far from being able to make a divine artifact submit."
The Alchemy Sect disciples were the quickest to react. These equipment refiners were extremely sensitive to such matters and naturally detected that there was no spiritual connection between Qin Xixue and the Demon-Locking Pagoda.
Qin Xixue merely possessed it and could barely use it. With her strength, she couldn't forcibly form a contract with the pagoda. Otherwise, such a powerful divine artifact would instantly backlash against her fragile spiritual sense!
Ordinary Nascent Soul disciples couldn't contract divine artifacts, but the outrageous thing was... Chu Sang was also at the Nascent Soul stage, wasn't she?!
She had actually directly contracted this Demon-Locking Pagoda. It was too much! Too heaven-defying!
"Why are you all staring at me? Haven't you realized how rare this opportunity is?" Chu Sang raised an eyebrow and smiled, pointing towards Qin Xixue in the distance, whose face looked extremely unpleasant. She said in a light voice, "She has quite a few spirit tools and immortal tools that she can't contract. In other words... aren't they all unclaimed items?"
"With such a resource repository delivered to our doorstep, if you have no intentions, don't blame our Lingqing Sect for taking the first step!"
Damn, what she said made so much sense.
These words were an enlightenment, stirring up huge waves.
It instantly shifted the crowd's attention to Qin Xixue, making her the target of all arrows.
Minds opened up. So what if Qin Xixue possessed precious treasures? She couldn't contract them, so wasn't it equivalent to a resource repository delivered to their doorstep?!
And it was a resource repository with little strength, where anyone could go up and plunder to their heart's content. The relationship between wolves and fat sheep had been reversed!
Although Qin Xixue appeared to have early Nascent Soul cultivation, in reality, most of the disciples present far surpassed her in strength. It's just that they were disciples of righteous sects and naturally wouldn't do something like killing for treasure... But! Qin Xixue had already taken the initiative to stab them, clearly siding with the demon race against the cultivation world. What did they have to be concerned about?!
The atmosphere of the scene instantly changed.
Who was the fish on the chopping block, and who held the knife?
It was clear at a glance!
"You bunch of despicable fellows... stay away from me!"
Seeing the huge change in attitude of these sect disciples, Qin Xixue's face showed terror. Didn't they all claim to be righteous? How could they be so easily provoked by Chu Sang's few words and want to lay hands on her?!
Indeed! That bitch Chu Sang deserved to die the most. She had thought Chu Sang would surely die this time, but unexpectedly she had escaped again and even snatched away the Demon-Locking Pagoda she had obtained with such difficulty... Qin Xixue was furious to the point of smoking from all seven apertures. Another magical tool similar to a jade ruyi appeared in her hand.
The sect disciples, whose meridians had been unblocked, no longer had that panicked air from before.
The moment the magical tool fell, a late Nascent Soul stage disciple advanced instead of retreating, taking the lead. He gathered spiritual energy in his palm and captured the magical tool,
Excitedly saying, "A high-grade spirit tool!"
It was actually a high-grade spirit tool! He might not be able to afford such a good magical tool in his entire life! Although this magical tool didn't match his cultivation method or spirit root, if auctioned off, he wouldn't have to worry about spirit stone expenses for half his life.
It should be known that even a casual high-grade spirit tool could fetch millions of spirit stones at an auction house. Who would have thought that Qin Xixue could casually produce a high-grade spirit tool!
This world was too unfair.
Such a person with mediocre talent who had betrayed the immortal sects actually had so many treasures.
The sect disciples present were so jealous they could bite their handkerchiefs. Although the cultivation world didn't have the term "resentment of the rich," the emotion was universal.
At first, some people hadn't used their full strength, wanting to watch from the sidelines.
Now, after this series of events, everyone could no longer sit still. What strength were they still reserving? Anyone who didn't rush in now was a fool!
Qin Xixue lacked both strength and intellect, only having those treasures to squander. Unfortunately, she couldn't contract most of them, which led to a tragedy. Once these magical tools were thrown out, they were like meat buns thrown to dogs, gone without return.
These sect disciples had been enlightened by Chu Sang's few words and specifically approached to attack her. Every time Qin Xixue hurriedly threw out a magical tool, the next moment it became someone else's magical tool.
"Bring more, don't you have plenty of treasures? How come you've only brought out these few? It's not enough to share!"
"Hurry up, hurry up, brothers can't wait. I'm waiting to go back and sell spirit stones to buy a new scabbard for my wife's sword."
"Don't dawdle, bring more. Whatever treasures you have, just bring them out."
"You all......"
Qin Xixue was so angry her lungs were about to explode, a mouthful of old blood stuck in her throat... Was she robbing them, or were they robbing her???
A bunch of conscienceless, shameless scoundrels?!
"You're courting death!"
She could no longer keep her composure. No matter how many treasures she had, she couldn't afford to squander them and give them away to others for nothing.
Qin Xixue's face turned vicious. As the cultivators surrounded her, she hurriedly released two Divine Transformation stage demon beasts. This was one of her major trump cards.
Chu Sang immediately summoned Hong Niang to play cat and mouse with those two demon beasts.
After Hong Niang got bored, its eight legs slammed down. These two early Divine Transformation stage demon beasts had no power to resist and were directly swallowed and eaten by Hong Niang. It chewed them up with a crisp sound and even burped in satisfaction, its aura becoming even more substantial.
"Thanks for the free fresh buffet delivered by good people! Welcome to come again, the more the better!"
Chu Sang lazily whistled and grinned mischievously.
A fatal blow.
Killing the person and destroying their spirit.
Even Gu Chang'an and the others couldn't help but want to give Little Junior Sister a good thrashing. She was just too annoying.
Qin Xixue's eyes nearly popped out of her head. This spider clearly wasn't nearly this strong when she last saw it. What the hell had it eaten to grow so much? Two Divine Transformation stage demon beasts were so easily eaten by her, indicating that she was likely already at the peak of Divine Transformation stage, perhaps even about to break through...
Without Que Yao, and not daring to use her magical tools recklessly, Qin Xixue found herself completely isolated and helpless.
She bit her lower lip in fear and hurriedly retreated, looking for a chance to escape with her life. However, Chu Sang's voice sounded like a ghost behind her.
"Didn't you want to kill me? Why are you running?"
"Boom—"
The prairie fire rushed towards her face. Qin Xixue had witnessed the power of Chu Sang's strange fire before, which had even devoured a heaven and earth strange fire she had obtained with great difficulty. But its killing power against human cultivators wasn't very strong.
She wasn't panicked and quickly took out an ancient mirror.
The mirror was completely transparent, as if carved from ice crystal, another rare treasure.
What Qin Xixue hadn't expected was that this time the strange fire was even more powerful. Before cracks could even spread across the mirror's surface, it shattered with a "boom!"
Qin Xixue's face changed drastically. She hurriedly dodged, but even with her many defensive spirit tools, her right arm couldn't avoid being burned by the flames. She let out a scream, and taking healing pills was of no use. The flesh around the wound quickly turned black and spread. This strange fire... was it poisonous too?!
And not just ordinary poison, but poison fire, which ordinary antidote pills couldn't treat.
"What are you all standing there for? Come help quickly! If I die, no one can lead you out!" Qin Xixue completely lost her usual composure. She shouted, yelling at the few rogue cultivators not far away who were trying to escape.
The rogue cultivators' faces also looked extremely unpleasant. The reason they had come with Qin Xixue was that they had heard there were treasures here. They hadn't expected that on the way here, they would find few treasures but find death with ease.
The demon beasts they encountered along the way became increasingly powerful, and they had lost two brothers. Now there was even a half-step Unity stage great demon king here, and the sect disciples were standing in opposition to them... They were just a few rogue cultivators. Although it sounded like they were cannon fodder, they didn't really want to be cannon fodder!
The leading male cultivator immediately roared back, "If you want to die, go die yourself. Don't drag us brothers down with you. We're leaving!"
They couldn't provoke either side. These few rogue cultivators weren't fools, and they immediately prepared to flee.
Qin Xixue's face twisted for a moment. Suddenly, a smile appeared on her face, a cold smile. "You think you can leave so easily?"
Did they think she had brought along a few useless rogue cultivators as cannon fodder for no reason?
Those pills she had fed these fools earlier weren't given for nothing!
As her words fell, several blood threads appeared in her palm. The rogue cultivators stopped in their tracks, unable to move even half a step. They turned back halfway, blood-colored marks appearing on their foreheads. Like beasts that had lost their reason, they stood in front of Qin Xixue, charging towards the nearby sect disciples to cover her escape.
The most bizarre thing was that although these rogue cultivators originally had ordinary strength, their reckless charge now was several times stronger than before!
"The symptoms of these people look like they've taken the Blood Lure Pill," said Mu Chihuai, who was knowledgeable and experienced, especially in alchemy. Without false modesty, among disciples of the same generation, if he claimed second place in alchemy, no one would dare claim first.
"When I was searching for the formula for the Longevity Pill in the Pill Condensation Sect, I almost went through the entire library of the sect. I saw this thing in a certain forbidden book."
"The Blood Lure Pill can greatly increase strength in a short time. If mixed with gu poison, it can control the mind of the person who takes the pill for a short time, somewhat... similar to a puppet. However, this thing consumes the taker's body and spirit greatly......"
It seems Qin Xixue must have fed this to these few rogue cultivators.
It was utterly unconscionable!
The Tianyan Sect disciples couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts. Had Qin Xixue gone completely mad?!
After all, she had traveled all the way here with these rogue cultivators. They were at least on the same team. But in a moment of crisis, she unhesitatingly pushed them out as shields... If Qin Xixue were still in Tianyan Sect, wouldn't it be them standing in front of her now?
"This kind of unnatural, evil alchemy pill has long been banned. No one would sell it on the market. She must have refined it herself," Mu Chihuai said with a frown.
Chu Sang nodded, her eyes deep. It seemed the female protagonist indeed had some talent for alchemy.
Unfortunately, this barely useful talent was used for crooked purposes.
Those few controlled rogue cultivators charged towards the sect disciples recklessly, as if mad.
At this point, they were like puppets, feeling no pain. Someone had even had an arm cut off but still kept charging forward.
This eerie scene was truly chilling to watch.
Qin Xixue completely disregarded the life and death of those rogue cultivators. Taking advantage of their distraction of the sect disciples' attention and firepower, she escaped through the forest behind.
A tall figure blocked her path.
She thought someone had come to hunt her down and turned pale with fright. Looking up, a flash of light suddenly burst in her eyes, "Senior Brother!"
It was Mo Qingchen!
Her face broke into a smile as she stepped forward, wanting to grab his sleeve. "Brother Qingchen, you came to save me? I knew you......"
Before she could finish speaking, an ice-cold sensation in her chest made her entire body freeze in place.
Qin Xixue was completely stunned. Looking down, she saw a long sword had directly pierced through her chest.
"You really shouldn't have betrayed the cultivation world, allied with demons and ghosts, and framed sect disciples."
The black-clad youth's eyes were cold, no longer showing the gentle care he once had for her.
Mo Qingchen was the top disciple of Tianyan Sect, placed with great expectations by the Eight Great Immortal Sects, and a disciple of the Mo family, a sword cultivation clan... The blood flowing in his bones was for slaying demons and eradicating evil. It was said that the Heartless Sword Dao, when ruthless, could even kill oneself if led astray, let alone someone like Qin Xixue.
Mo Qingchen would never show mercy to evil and demonic ways. If the evil and demonic were someone close to him, it was even more futile to hope for his leniency.
He would only strike harder.
Qin Xixue stared at him with wide eyes, her eyes moist with pain. She had thought Mo Qingchen had come specially to help her escape, but unexpectedly, he had come to deliver the final blow!
"Why... I was so good to you, even saved you several times, stayed by your side for so many years. Why are you doing this to me? Why don't even you believe me? How can you be so heartless as to want me dead?!"
Qin Xixue appeared extremely deranged. Even though so many men around her were willing to die for her, the one she had always liked most was Mo Qingchen, and she had invested the most effort in him.
The young man's powerful talent, strength, and fortune made him the most worthy match for her!
The two of them should have been the most compatible.
She should have ascended the peaks of mountains with him, entering the path of ascension together. But unexpectedly, Chu Sang had repeatedly ruined her plans, even causing her to be expelled from the immortal sect, making her a despised rogue cultivator!
Yes, it was all Chu Sang's fault, leading her step by step to this point, abandoned by all. It was all because of her!
Mo Qingchen frowned, not bothering to listen to Qin Xixue's further mad ramblings. Spiritual energy gathered in his palm.
