With Heaven-Defying Talent, I Actually Became Lu Xueqi

Chapter 106 : Entering Kongsang Mountain

Lu Xueqi, with her Heaven-Defying Comprehension, had completely grasped the 《Hundred Flowers Immortal Scripture》 in an instant. However, integrating it into the 《Tai Chi Profound Immortal Scripture》 would still require some time.

After awakening, Lu Xueqi saw that the others had already woken up as well, and she had no intention of lingering any longer.

She planned to enter Kong Sang Mountain as soon as possible today, eliminate those Demonic Sect cultivators, and then return to Qingyun Sect.

Lu Xueqi remembered that not long after the Kong Sang Mountain incident, the Flowing Wave Mountain incident would occur.

There, however, was no great opportunity to be had—it was mainly a scheme set by the Ghost King Sect, aiming to capture the divine beast Kui Niu and use it to open the Fulong Cauldron.

That was also the beginning of the first great battle between righteous and demonic forces.

But those matters were events for later.

For now, the most important thing was to deal with the demons within Kong Sang Mountain as quickly as possible.

The moment Lu Xueqi stepped out of the cave, everyone’s gaze naturally turned toward her.

Lin Jingyu took the initiative to speak: “Senior Sister Lu, are we entering Kong Sang Mountain today?”

Lu Xueqi nodded slightly after hearing his words.

“The sooner the matter in Kong Sang Mountain is resolved, the better. Otherwise, it may bring about further trouble.”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

At this point, among the group of eight, Lu Xueqi had displayed the strongest strength, so they were all willing to follow her lead.

After stepping outside, Lu Xueqi swept her gaze across the group.

Finally, her eyes landed on Fa Xiang. Seeing his somewhat pale complexion, she couldn’t help but ask: “Senior Brother Fa Xiang, how are you now? Can you act together with us today?”

Hearing Lu Xueqi’s words, Fa Xiang directly nodded and said: “I have recovered quite a bit. There should be no problem in handling today’s action.”

But beside him, Fa Shan revealed a trace of worry.

He couldn’t help but say: “Senior Brother, why don’t you rest outside for today? As for the Demonic Sect cultivators in Kong Sang Mountain, leave them to me.”

Fa Xiang, however, shook his head with firm determination.

If it were only the remnants of the Blood Refining Hall within Kong Sang Mountain, he wouldn’t be concerned for everyone’s safety. But now that experts from the Ten Thousand Poison Sect had joined in, the situation had become troublesome.

Although their side was strong, the Demonic Sect’s strength was not weak either.

“There’s no need to worry. My injuries have already mostly recovered. I can exert a fair amount of strength, so there is no problem with protecting myself.”

Seeing Fa Xiang’s insistence, Fa Shan had no choice but to drop the matter. He decided instead that once they entered deeper into Kong Sang Mountain, he would watch over his senior brother carefully. He couldn’t allow anything to happen to him here.

Lu Xueqi saw that Fa Xiang insisted on going in, and she didn’t say much more. After all, though they all belonged to the righteous path, they were from different sects.

Even if they cooperated, there was always competition between them. They could never fully trust each other.

“In that case, let’s set off now.”

After saying this, Lu Xueqi took the lead and strode outside. Very soon, she rode her sword and flew toward the cave they had investigated yesterday.

When Lu Xueqi and the others arrived at the cave, she looked at the dark, deep entrance and said: “This is the cave inside Kong Sang Mountain for today. Later, all of you must be careful.”

Then, without waiting for the others to respond, she directly stepped inside.

Qi Hao and the others, upon seeing this, hurriedly followed.

The instant Lu Xueqi stepped inside, she immediately sensed a strange aura filling the cave.

As soon as she came into contact with it, her body instinctively gave rise to a murderous urge, and her mind became somewhat clouded.

This startled Lu Xueqi slightly. She quickly warned: “Everyone be careful! There’s a strange aura inside this cave that can stir up the killing intent within one’s heart.”

Thanks to her reminder, the group—who had just entered and were already feeling extremely irritable—were shocked.

They had assumed that their irritability came from suddenly stepping into such a narrow space.

They hadn’t expected it was due to an abnormal aura within the cave.

Realizing this, everyone hastily circulated their cultivation methods to suppress the restless killing intent within their bodies.

After sensing the abnormalities within himself, Fa Xiang softly said: “Everyone, do not worry. Although this aura is strange, this humble monk has a way to counter it.”

As soon as his words fell, golden Buddhist light radiated brilliantly around Fa Xiang, instantly enveloping the group within its glow.

Under this light, Lu Xueqi felt a wave of peace wash over her.

The killing intent that had just arisen within her body was instantly pacified.

Seeing this, Lu Xueqi’s eyes lit up slightly.

She hadn’t expected the cultivation method of Tianyin Temple to have such an effect.

With their agitation soothed by Fa Xiang’s Buddhist light, everyone’s irritability gradually faded.

The group then quickened their pace, wanting to pass through the cave quickly. But after walking only a short distance, Lu Xueqi suddenly perceived countless bats ahead, along with piles of bat droppings scattered across the path.

This made her feel slightly disgusted.

Nevertheless, she reminded: “Be careful, there are many bats in the passage ahead.”

After hearing Lu Xueqi’s warning, everyone became more cautious. Though their strength was more than enough to handle mindless bats, in such a narrow passage, being entangled by them would still be troublesome.

But though Lu Xueqi and the others didn’t want to provoke the bats, the bats had already noticed them.

With a sharp, piercing screech, the bats stirred.

In the next instant, the entire cave full of bats was awakened, and they all rushed toward them.

When the bats drew closer, Lu Xueqi finally noticed something unusual about them.

She saw that their eyes all glowed with a bloody light, looking extremely bloodthirsty.

At once, Lu Xueqi realized that these bats must have been influenced by the strange aura within the cave.

Moreover, she noticed that these bats were nearly twice the size of ordinary bats, their appearances far more ferocious and hideous.

As the swarm rushed at her, Lu Xueqi’s mind moved. In an instant, the Tianyao Divine Sword appeared, bursting forth with a surge of chilling sword intent.

The surrounding void trembled under its sharp hum, as if being sliced apart.

The moment the bats came into range, they were instantly shredded into pieces by the sword intent radiating from Lu Xueqi.

The others following behind couldn’t help but sigh in relief upon seeing the bats cut down.

But at the front, Lu Xueqi slightly furrowed her brows.

She discovered that these bats seemed endless—no matter how many she killed, another wave would follow.

What was worse, they were completely fearless of death.

Even when an entire group was slaughtered by her sword, more immediately swarmed forward.

Within the confines of the cave, she couldn’t unleash her strongest attacks, for fear of collapsing the entire passage around them.

Seeing this, Lu Xueqi thought for a moment.

With a wave of her right hand, a mirror-shaped magical treasure appeared.

It was none other than the Six Harmonies Mirror, the prize she had obtained when she won first place in the Seven Peaks Tournament.

The instant the Six Harmonies Mirror appeared, Lu Xueqi quickly formed hand seals and channeled her spiritual power into it.

In the blink of an eye, the Six Harmonies Mirror radiated a dazzling light that enveloped Lu Xueqi and the others within its glow.

Lu Xueqi then said, “This is the Six Harmonies Mirror, a defensive magical treasure of Qingyun Sect. It possesses powerful protective abilities. Stay close to me, and do not leave the circle of its light.”

Hearing this, Qi Hao and the others felt inwardly delighted. They replied, “Yes, Junior Sister Lu, Junior Sister Lu!”
