#488 - Killing
That voice… Senior White Bone.
Wang Ji Xuan's heart tightened, and he immediately made the black dragon on his arm lie dormant. He looked up again at the fairy with the cute round face, his gaze still as gentle and respectful as before.
“This…”
Daoist Wang said softly:
“After thinking it over, this secret technique is actually used during life-and-death struggles. If it were to be displayed, it would truly be a waste of spiritual power.”
“Oh? It would waste spiritual power?”
“Yes,” Wang Ji Xuan deliberately gave misleading information, “The reason why this demonic body has the battle power of a True Immortal is actually because it sacrificed a million demons.”
What he said was also the truth.
Only a part of the truth.
Fairy Linglong did not insist, but nodded with a smile, then sighed softly: “Alas, you must have suffered great grievances. It makes sense, since you are going to be a variable, you must bear the crushing of the great fortune of heaven and earth, and there must be many hardships.”
“Fairy, let’s continue cultivating.”
Wang Ji Xuan took the initiative to ask for guidance.
“Alright, you start circulating your energy throughout your body, and I will correct any mistakes that may occur in your cultivation little by little.”
“Thank you, Fairy.”
Wang Ji Xuan immediately began to meditate wholeheartedly, but the activated alien soul was hiding on his shoulder, its dragon eyes staring at Linglong.
Fairy Linglong sat on a stone chair with a smile, slowly sipping tea, and began to check for omissions and fill in gaps in Wang Ji Xuan's cultivation of the 《Azure Lotus Manual》.
This made Daoist Wang a little confused.
This fairy is really teaching him how to cultivate;
Then why would Senior White Bone remind him that this person has murderous intent towards him?
Although Wang Ji Xuan didn't understand, he didn't question the truth of Senior White Bone's words. He cultivated and studied seriously, maintaining the highest level of vigilance at all times.
In the blink of an eye, it was evening.
“Alright,” Fairy Linglong stretched lazily.
Her figure was already good, or rather, women who cultivate to become immortals would not have too bad of an appearance if they had the intention; such a stretching action was naturally a pleasing sight.
Unfortunately, Wang Ji Xuan did not raise his head and open his eyes, but just sat there quietly.
“Digest this for two days, and I will find you again in two days to teach you. Then I will pass on some immortal techniques to you.”
Fairy Linglong put her hands behind her back and pretended to be old-fashioned as she sighed:
“How wonderful it would be if you were born in the Immortal Realm's Valley of Gazing Immortals. The Valley of Gazing Immortals might have another Golden Immortal Ancestor.”
Before she finished speaking, she had already turned into a wisp of cloud and disappeared from the pavilion.
The martial general of the Tianluo Immortal Martial Hall, who had been hiding not far away, revealed his figure, nodded slightly to Wang Ji Xuan, and then disappeared.
Obviously, this martial general was, as Fairy Linglong had said before, monitoring Fairy Linglong one-on-one.
Plus the reminder from Senior White Bone…
Daoist Wang only felt thorns on his back.
This seemingly peaceful and warm peach blossom forest seemed to have a bit more of a strange atmosphere.
That night.
Wang Ji Xuan took the initiative to visit Amina's door.
Amina was really surprised… This was the first time Wang Ji Xuan had visited late at night, which inevitably made her a little nervous.
A faint floral fragrance came from the air;
Her porcelain-white skin was wrapped in a silver-gray silk nightgown, and the folds of the nightgown were filled with moonlight; that moonlight was like the uncontrollable beauty on her beautiful face, flowing into Wang Ji Xuan's eyes like this.
“Resting?”
“Yeah,” Amina responded softly, turning sideways to make way.
Daoist Wang entered with his hands behind his back, and suddenly reached out and hugged Amina's slender waist.
Amina was obviously nervous, but her strong willpower restrained the urge to dodge backward, allowing Wang Ji Xuan to hug her and pull her into his arms.
Daoist Wang conveniently added more than a dozen layers of barriers here, and used his alien soul with the battle power of a True Immortal to guard the surroundings of the pavilion.
In this way, even Celestial Immortals would find it difficult to detect this place.
Many people who had been through this showed knowing smiles.
That Fairy Linglong cursed in a low voice, “Little lecher,” and then continued to hold a ancient scroll and study it carefully.
Inside the room, Wang Ji Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and looked down at Amina in his arms, whose breathing had already become slightly disordered.
She seemed to sense something, looked up at Daoist Wang, her bright eyes filled with undisguised nervousness.
If it were Daoist Wang when he first went to Fortress 76, he would probably immediately release Amina and take half a step back at this moment.
But today's Daoist Wang has also let go a lot. Knowing her affection for him, and he also has some yearning for her, he took the opportunity to gently press his fingers, and could feel the smooth touch of her skin even through the nightgown.
“Hmm…”
Amina pursed her lower lip tightly and said softly: “I’m going to take a bath…”
“Cough, that's not necessary.”
Wang Ji Xuan released her with a smile.
Amina couldn't help but feel a little lost, and her eyes were a little more uneasy.
“I’m doing this to set up a barrier openly. Peony is also here with me. There are some things to discuss.”
After saying that, Wang Ji Xuan pulled Peony out of the storage treasure.
The advantage of Peony's mechanical spirit body is that any storage treasure can hold it, without having to use a special storage treasure for living things.
Amina adjusted her state in a second, restored her usual coldness, and asked softly: “What’s wrong?”
“It’s Fairy Linglong,” Wang Ji Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, starting from the reminder from Senior White Bone of the Moon God Palace.
…
After listening to Wang Ji Xuan's narration, Peony and Amina both frowned.
“Is this Linglong bad?”
Amina was a little puzzled:
“Although I don’t have the ability to read people’s minds, my intuition is quite sharp.
“In my feeling, Fairy Linglong is not a cunning villain, but she does have some worries, and she is also pretending to be cheerful.”
Wang Ji Xuan leaned back in his chair, as if he had lost all his strength and means.
He had to cultivate during the day and be on guard against Fairy Linglong at all times, which really took a lot of effort.
Amina asked: “Is there any other news?”
“No,” Daoist Wang just shook his head, “The reminder from that senior, and the Celestial Immortal Gu Zheng of the Celestial Martial Hall secretly staring at Fairy Linglong, and Linglong’s murderous intent towards me. We only know this news now.”
Amina crossed her arms and paced back and forth, muttering: “In that case, when Fairy Linglong left in the evening, Celestial Immortal Gu Zheng took the initiative to show up and meet you, was he also reminding you?”
“That’s bad!”
Peony slapped her forehead and glared: “We have to leave quickly!”
Wang Ji Xuan asked in confusion: “Leave? Are you in such a hurry?”
“We really have to be in a hurry, boss!”
Peony said quickly:
“According to the information we know now.
“Gu Zheng is an immortal of Tianluo. The immortals of Tianluo are all under the surveillance of the Tianluo Heavenly Dao. Let’s assume that Gu Zheng is here to protect us. Doesn’t his constant monitoring of Fairy Linglong mean that Fairy Linglong has a problem?
“Gu Zheng knows that Linglong has a problem.
“The Tianluo high-level who sent Gu Zheng must also know that Linglong has a problem.
“And the Tianluo high-level knows that Linglong has a problem, but Linglong still appeared here and became your cultivation guide, able to contact you at close range.
“Doesn’t this mean… the Tianluo high-level is not a monolith? At least on how to deal with the boss, their opinions are not unified.
“The confrontation between Gu Zheng and Linglong is a microcosm of the internal confrontation of the Tianluo high-level.”
Amina asked: “Can’t Tianluo’s Heavenly Dao control the high-level of Tianluo?”
Peony said: “It must be difficult to control Taiyi Golden Immortals and Da Luo Golden Immortals.”
Wang Ji Xuan asked: “Then Peony, who do you think sent Linglong here?”
“The high-level of Tianluo, definitely.”
Peony said quickly:
“Linglong mentioned in her words that the high-level of Tianluo personally found the Valley of Gazing Immortals and asked them to send a Celestial Immortal.
“Linglong is obviously the one who was chosen.
“With the Tianluo Heavenly Dao watching, the high-level of Tianluo want to kill the boss, but the immortals of Tianluo can’t do it themselves. Taking this opportunity to use the hand of the Valley of Gazing Immortals in the Immortal Realm to get rid of the disciple of the Valley of Gazing Immortals in the Lower Realm is also reasonable.”
Amina sighed: “Then what should we do? Should we just escape?”
“We can’t escape,” Wang Ji Xuan’s eyes narrowed slightly, “Even those Tianluo who don’t want to kill me should want a obedient variable. Those who have been in high positions for a long time and are used to controlling everything are unlikely to pity us cultivators struggling in the mortal world.”
Peony muttered softly: “Is Shao Lao involved in this?”
Wang Ji Xuan shook his head: “I’m not sure. I personally think he shouldn’t be.”
“We still can’t be careless,” Peony said, “Boss, why don’t you ask that senior?”
“Okay.”
Wang Ji Xuan pondered slightly.
If he wants to break the situation now, he can only rely on this Senior White Bone of the Moon God Palace.
The newest and most complete novels are available at Liu 9 Shu Ba! First release!
After Peony's analysis, his Dao heart was also a little disturbed.
The tree wants to be quiet, but the wind doesn't stop.
“Amina, can I borrow your toilet?”
“Okay.”
After a while, Daoist Wang hid in the bathtub, hugged the Stone of the Past, and whispered a few times.
A layer of vortex appeared on the surface of the Stone of the Past, sucking a wisp of Wang Ji Xuan's primordial spirit into it.
It only took a few minutes.
Wang Ji Xuan shivered, put the Stone of the Past into the deepest storage treasure, looked at a semi-transparent golden leaf that appeared in his left hand, and breathed a sigh of relief.
No matter what, he now has a little more means of counterattack.
He ran outside to find Peony and set the subsequent plan.
Fairy Linglong will teach the Fa for the second time in two days, and may take action against Wang Ji Xuan; and Wang Ji Xuan will deliberately sell a flaw at that time, and ask Fairy Linglong to take action.
If she really takes action, Wang Ji Xuan will fight her with the alien soul puppet and the leaf given by Senior White Bone.
That martial general Gu Zheng will probably take action, but Wang Ji Xuan cannot bet his life and death on the other party.
In this kind of thing, it is still himself who is the most reliable.
What Mu Dan needed to do was, within these two days, inform Zheng Shiduo and the others of these matters, and without alarming Fairy Linglong. During the second lesson, they had to enter the sub-space in time to hide, leaving Wang Jixuan to face the enemy alone.
The difference between a Composite Realm cultivator and a Celestial Immortal was truly too great.
The Celestial Immortal Realm had nine grades, and it was said that each grade was a world apart.
Wang Jixuan's True Immortal combat power, the Different Soul Puppet, could only briefly exchange blows with the opponent.
When leaving Amina's room, Wang Jixuan winked at Amina.
Amina understood, took a deep breath, let her cheeks flush red, deliberately messed up her deep blue long hair, added a bit of lazy charm between her eyebrows, raised her hand to lower her collar, and forcefully bit her lips red.
Wang Jixuan dispelled the barrier and retrieved the Different Soul.
He looked back once, and a few ripples arose in his Dao heart.
Unfortunately, this environment and this atmosphere were not the right time for romance.
Amina leaned against the edge of the door frame, watching Wang Jixuan leave.
Fairy Linglong, who was engrossed in studying a scroll, curled her lips and muttered, "Didn't use immortal techniques? Didn't even last an hour."
Fortunately, Daoist Wang didn't hear her.
......
Two peaceful days passed in a flash.
The morning light sprinkled down, and the peach blossom forest was filled with the chirping of birds. The great array covering this valley operated as usual.
When Wang Jixuan arrived as agreed, Fairy Linglong had been waiting in the pavilion for a long time.
Fairy Linglong was surrounded by several colorful butterflies, which were quite eye-catching.
"How have you comprehended the things I pointed out to you last time?"
"Disciple has basically comprehended everything," Wang Jixuan cupped his hands and thanked her. "Thank you for your guidance, Fairy. Otherwise, I might have taken many detours in the future."
Linglong smiled and said, "If you ascended normally, you would also enter the territory of the Feather God Palace. According to the rules, you would also have to enter the Immortal Gazing Valley to cultivate for one to three hundred years."
"And then?" Wang Jixuan asked with interest.
Linglong said, "Then you would have to register in the Feather Immortal Army of the Feather God Palace and earn your future cultivation resources."
Wang Jixuan: ......
As expected, he would be a cannon fodder thug for the Feather God Palace.
"Alright, let's explore these things after you go to the Immortal Realm yourself. Now you are a member of Tianluo, and you will be directly protected by Tianluo when you go to the Immortal Realm. If you want to contact the Feather God Palace, you will probably have to wait until you become a Celestial Immortal or a Golden Immortal."
Linglong sighed softly:
"With your variables, your cultivation should be extremely fast."
Wang Jixuan sat upright on the futon in front of Linglong.
According to the plan, he would give Linglong some opportunities to attack today.
But before that, he had to first confirm whether that Celestial Immortal Martial General Gu Zheng was nearby.
The Different Soul probed out and searched everywhere with its immortal sense…
He was there.
Moreover, Gu Zheng was currently hiding behind a peach tree, only about a hundred feet away from here, and this martial general was tense, ready to burst out at any moment.
Wang Jixuan's heart was greatly relieved.
And Zheng Shiduo and the others had already gathered together, playing cards and having fun in the house on the edge of the peach blossom forest.
Next, he just needed to proceed according to the plan and lure Fairy Linglong to attack…
What if she didn't attack?
Wang Jixuan had really thought about this question. For example, Fairy Linglong was too cautious, or Senior White Bone sensed it wrong, the source of the killing intent was not Fairy Linglong, or even, Fairy Linglong had returned from her misguided path, and the conscience in her heart awakened…
In short, if she attacked, then he would fight.
If she didn't attack, Wang Jixuan would take the initiative to test her and see if he could trick her.
"Come."
Fairy Linglong motioned for Wang Jixuan to get up:
"Last time I taught you the method of cultivation, that was preaching. Today I will teach you the术法 that matches the 《Qingping Art》, this is teaching the technique.
"You must be prepared.
"When my master taught me the technique, I was severely punished by her. Today I will not let you off easily."
Wang Jixuan cupped his hands with a smile: "Please be merciful, Fairy. I am only a Mahayana cultivator and cannot withstand your torment."
In fact, his own Mahayana Realm was brought up along with the formation of the Different Soul Puppet.
Fairy Linglong took out two precious swords, threw one to Wang Jixuan, and smiled: "Our Immortal Gazing Valley has a sword song to suppress the sect, which is also famous in the Immortal Realm. This is the 《Qingping Sword Song》. If you can master a small achievement, it will basically be enough before the Celestial Immortal Realm."
She gently shook the sword, and wisps of sword intent surrounded the two of them.
A surge of sorrow arose in Wang Jixuan's heart, as if he had no support and was wandering alone in the world.
It can even affect emotions?
What a powerful sword intent.
Daoist Wang did not dare to be careless. While carefully observing and recording these sword intents, he was also watching Fairy Linglong's movements.
Suddenly.
"Oh, teaching? Can this old man come and listen?"
Shao Lao's clone came from the side on a cloud, with a slightly stiff smile on his lips.
