Chapter 160: Intimidation

er Meng took the pill and shuddered. He was suddenly struck with realization. He hadn't reacted properly! A cold sweat broke out on his back as he realized he had almost offended a master alchemist,...The disciples of the Ancient Sword Sect looked at each other in dismay. Although they often turned against each other within the Blood Forbidden Zone, at this moment, they had no chance of winning. If a real fight broke out, few would be able to escape.

After all, even Yuan Hao, who was most relied upon, and Zhu Yuchun, who was quite strong, could no longer be counted on. 。Su Qing and Wu Yan are also exceptionally skilled. Lingxiao Palace also has two elite disciples, Luo Qian and Hu Jianming. 。Besides the unreliable Yuan Hao, Gu Jianzong had only two elite disciples left. 。They had no chance of winning. 。"Can you still kill us all You'll always be able to escape a few. Once this gets out, even if we leave the Blood Forbidden Land, my sect won't be able to do anything to you on the surface. But do you really dare to make such a big enemy" Yuan Hao forced a smile onto his face. 。Upon hearing Yuan Hao's words, the disciples of Lingxiao Palace all had a slightly unnatural expression on their faces. 。"Hmph, what difference does it make if we kill you You think you can scheme against people and get away with it, but we can't retaliate" Su Qing said nonchalantly. 。"Actually, there's no need to cause a war between two factions. Of course, this matter can't be simply settled..." 。Lu Xia Tian suddenly put the magic weapon away and said: 。"Oh I'd like to hear more. If it could turn swords into ploughshares, that would be best of all." 。Yuan Hao's face lit up, and the other disciples of Gujian Sect also breathed a sigh of relief. Under the circumstances where they had no chance of winning, it was naturally best to avoid conflict. However, they were also worried that Lu Xiaottian had some ulterior motive and remained on guard, preventing the Lingxiao Palace disciples from taking advantage of their relaxation and surrounding them. 。Aren't you the one who wants my spirit beast As long as you hand over the storage pouch, and also bring Ju Yue Chun... 。That's the end of that. 。Lu Xiaodao 。"You're dreaming!" Yuan Hao's face turned ashen, his eyes almost blazing with fury. He demanded the storage bag be handed over. After spending so long in the Blood Forbidden Zone, he couldn't have wasted all that time, could he They were only half a month away from leaving the forbidden zone! 。Another bloodthirsty green-armored skeleton appeared. He didn't have time, nor the guts, to go looking for spirits anymore. 。He was one of the best cultivators among the Qi Refining disciples in Gujianzong. If he had left without any spiritual items, how would the senior disciples view him He wouldn't be able to exchange for a Foundation Establishment Pill, and even with his extraordinary talent, he could still successfully establish his foundation, but it would probably take several more years. 。Lu Xiaotiān's requirements were undeniably harsh on him. 。"Well then, there's nothing more to be said. You do your own thing and face the consequences alone. Do you want to compare yourself to me, or are you going to drag your fellow disciples down with you It's up to you." 。Lu Xiaoxiao let out a sneer and said, "Usually, he wouldn't like to cause trouble for others, but that doesn't mean he's easy to mess with. Yuan Hao had already gone too far, even wanting his life. Naturally, Lu Xiaoxiao would retaliate." 。If it wasn't that over twenty disciples of the Gujian Sect were right in front of him, and he couldn't possibly capture them all at once, some would certainly escape. He wouldn't have spoken to them so gently. 。just go straight and kill them. 。For a talented disciple like Yuan Hao, who was destined to become a Jindan cultivator without any unexpected circumstances, the extent to which Gujianzong valued him was beyond the imagination of others. 。Even if he were to kill someone within the Blood-Stained Forbidden Ground, the Ancient Sword Sect couldn't openly seek retribution once outside. However, behind closed doors, they might take some action against him. 。Even if he successfully builds his foundation, compared to the towering giant of the ancient sword sect, he would still be like an ant. 。Therefore, even if you have to get your hands dirty, be sure to hold onto the other person's weakness. 。

The disciples of the Gu Jianzong looked at each other, some hesitant.

Many people subconsciously distanced themselves from Yuan Hao. Although Yuan Hao represented a banner for the Qi Refining disciples of the Ancient Sword Sect. 。Highly respected 。

However, this is limited to his combat strength. In fact, Yuan Hao is too domineering as a person, especially towards other disciples within the sect.

All the fellow cultivators who had been teaming up with him throughout this journey, they had benefited from the previous Purple Loquat and Rejuvenating Fruit. The benefits had mostly ended up in Yuan Hao's pockets, leaving others with little to share. 。Had they not later merged with the cultivators of Lingxiao Palace, and Lu Xia Tian proposed that their group no longer participate in the distribution, I'm afraid the spiritual artifacts they would have received would be fewer. 。In terms of the harvest, it seems that Lu Xiaotian benefited more. 。If they were just entering the Blood Forbidden Land, everything relied on Yuan Hao, this top expert, to hold the fort. Naturally, they had to unite against a common enemy. Now that they were about to leave the Blood Forbidden Land, they wouldn't go to any dangerous places in the future, so there was no need to fawn over Yuan Hao for now. 。As for accompanying Yuan Hao and the cultivators of Lingxiao Palace in a battle, it's naturally even less worthwhile. Once they make a move, they will definitely be implicated themselves. 。"Brother Yuan, Brother Lu from Lingxiao Palace has been quite helpful to us along the way." 。If it's for other reasons, and out of fraternal solidarity, we fellow disciples naturally stand with you through thick and thin. 。It is simply unacceptable that you would sneak up and attack someone, intending to steal their belongings and even take their life. Such actions are truly appalling. 。I can no longer fight alongside you. 。It was Geng Xin, one of the elite disciples of the Ancient Sword Sect, who spoke first. At this time, he kept a comfortable distance from Yuan Hao, clearly showing that he had nothing to do with him. 。With someone taking the lead, others followed suit and lined up on one side. The situation was already clear. Even Yuan Hao, who was usually domineering, didn't have any fighting spirit at this time. He followed Yuan Hao without a chance of winning. 。"Well, the one who wrongs deserves to be punished, and the one who owes a debt must repay it. " 。I, Lu XiaTian, have always been clear about right and wrong, and I would never make things difficult for others. 。"Sister Su, Sister Wu, the two of you take down Zhu Yu Chun, be careful, this person is a bit strange" 。Lu XiaTian waved his hand, then coldly looked at Yuan Hao and said, “This is your last chance. Will you surrender your storage bag to apologize, or will I have to take it myself If you force my hand, your Lie Yang Sword will be mine as well.” 。"Rest assured, Senior Brother Lu. This treacherous wretch, Zhu Yu Chun, has hidden his malicious intentions and betrayed our sect. I will definitely not let him off." 。Wu Yan's face was covered in frost, she didn't say a word and directly brandished her weapon to strike at Zhu Yu Chun. 。Su Qing also stepped out diagonally, with Wu Yan flanking her on either side, pinning down Zhu Yucun. 。Yuan Hao watched as Lu Xia Tian took out the Earth-Splitting Sword and the Qinggua artifact 。His face turned pale and then flushed, he wasn't afraid of Lu Xiaoteng's two weapons, of course. But only he and Zhu Yucun knew that Lu Xiaoteng could control three weapons at the same time, and there was also a defensive Xing Deng artifact that didn't need to be controlled. 。

There is also another kind of spell attack that he can't defend against.

Directly plunge him into a state of utter despair within a short period.

If Chun Qian hadn't held him back before, the one who would have been severed wouldn't have been Chun Qian's hand, but his head. 。Even if one could withstand such a strange and uncanny psychic attack, with Lu XiaTian wielding so many magical artifacts at once, along with defensive ones, there would be no chance of victory. 。"Stop, I give you... " 。After a moment of inner turmoil, Yuan Hao's face turned ashen. He hurled the storage bag towards Lu Xiaoxiao. 。Lu Xiaotien's heart skipped a beat. Although his storage bag was already full, he was still deeply moved by Yuan Hao's harvest. Whether to make a move against Yuan Hao didn't matter much to him. Of course, if he could force him to submit without fighting, that would be a profitable deal. 。But not everything went smoothly. Just as Lu Xia Tian reached out to take the storage bag, Zhu Yu Chun let out a cry, and a cloud of black smoke exploded from her body, smelling foul 。Wu Yan and Su Yan feared that they were poisoned, so they stepped back two paces. Just as the two of them reacted, Zhu Yucun had already shot forward like a bolt of lightning. 。The speed is so fast that it is jaw-dropping. 。When the two of them reacted and wanted to chase after him, Zhu Yu Chun had already dashed out dozens of meters. His feet moved like phantoms, making it hard for anyone to tell where he was going. 。"Damn it, let him get away!" Su Qing angrily stamped her foot. 。She and Wu Yan teamed up, but they were still outrun by the other party. She felt her face was flushed with shame. 。“To be able to escape from the siege of two Blood Shadow Lizardmen, he must certainly have some abilities. In terms of strength, among all of us here, only two or three people could surpass him. He is indeed quite hidden, no wonder you ” 。Lu Xiaotian narrowed his eyes and glanced at Yuan Hao. He didn't know if Yuan Hao had deliberately thrown the storage bag to create an opportunity for Zhu Yu Chun just now, or if Zhu Yu Chun had truly grasped the timing to such a degree. Seeing no change in Yuan Hao's expression, Lu Xiaotian opened his mouth and said: 。Hearing that Zhu Yu Chun had actually escaped the encirclement of two Blood Shadow Demon Lizards, the people present were astonished once more. However, they quickly regained their composure, as the series of bizarre events that had unfolded had already stretched their capacity for belief to its limit. 。Even if you hide deep, no one can hide deeper than you. 。"Su Qing said angrily, Wu Yan, Leng Qiao Yu and the others although not as straightforward as Su Qing, their faces were also like this." 。With the strength displayed by Zhu Yuchi and Yuan Hao, either one of them would be a top cultivator at their level. Especially Yuan Hao, with his two Blazing Sun Swords, he could almost sweep across all Qi Refining cultivators. It's strange that facing Lu Xia Tian, he didn't even have the courage to fight back. Even more bizarre is that when they teamed up, Zhu Yuchi and Yuan Hao were both defeated miserably by Lu Xia Tian. 。

Lu Xia Tian was a little speechless. He had wanted to comfort them, but unexpectedly, he had backfired. It was really unexpected. In fact, he wasn't as profound and mysterious as these people imagined. It was just that the Bing Po Xuan Yin happened to be able to restrain cultivators with a lower cultivation base than him.

If not, even if one has cultivated the Split God Technique, facing Yuan Hao's Blazing Sun Double Arm Sword, they would still have no chance of winning. 。A blade of blazing sun, capable of simultaneously battling two ordinary artifacts with remaining strength. 。If at the same cultivation level, he was neither his match nor Yuan Hao's. 。Of course, he naturally wouldn't reveal his weaknesses to others. 。These people, not understanding the situation, naturally found him even more enigmatic. 。Since Yuan Hao had handed over the storage bag, Lu Xia Tian did not press further. For a time, both sides fell silent. 。Because of the growing animosity between them, the two factions of cultivators kept a distance from each other as they made their way to the nearby cultivator outpost. 。Yuan Hao lagged behind in the team, a sullen expression on his face. Although he knew going out would make him the butt of everyone's jokes afterward, he was filled with resentment but helpless. At least he had managed to save his life. 。Just wait and see, one day you'll pay for everything. 。Yuan Hao glanced at Lu Xia Tian, who was surrounded by a crowd ahead. 。He's only in his teens now. With his talent, even without these spiritual objects, he would have reached the Foundation Establishment stage earlier than Lu Xiaoteng. 。Mountains and rivers change turn, there will always be a day of payback. 。After several more days, cultivators from various factions at the cultivator stronghold were converging toward the teleportation array. The time to activate the teleportation array was limited, and it required ten Golden Core Ancestors to work together to open such a large-scale teleportation array, transporting them into this blessed land of spiritual cultivation. 。Once missed, with the limited lifespan of a cultivator, there is no other possibility except to grow old and die in this isolated place. 。The Scarlet Forbidden Zone was quite vast. The place where Lu Xia Tian and the others walked was just a corner of it. 。Others have had other adventures, of course, and some have encountered very dangerous places as well. 。With only a day or two left before departure, the cultivators from all factions rested and reminisced about the past six months of life and death. Compared to when they first entered the bloody forbidden zone, thousands of energetic disciples had dwindled to a sparse camp, leaving everyone with mixed feelings. 。Amongst the towering mountains, dozens of flying warships of various sizes, resembling soaring birds, floated in mid-air, forming a vast fleet that resembled clouds of ships. 。Some powerful sects sent out two Golden Core Ancestors, while those with moderate strength sent out one. Weaker sects also sent a single Golden Core Ancestor to hold the fort. 。Dozens of Golden Core ancestors, plus hundreds of Foundation Establishment cultivators, would be enough to support a large immortal sect. 。Not to mention the numerous warships, each equipped with a vast number of spirit cannons. A single blast from these cannons could consume tens of thousands of spirit stones. Even a Golden Core cultivator would find it difficult to withstand their might. 。When these dozens of warships first entered, thousands upon thousands of various monsters in the mountains had charged several times. Apart from leaving behind a large number of monster corpses, there was no harvest at all. 。After nearly half a year of operation, this place has been built by numerous cultivators into an impenetrable fortress, not even water can penetrate. 。"Old Monster Huo, has your Bimu Stone been prepared I'm saying, if I were you, I would have given me the Bimu Stone six months ago. Then maybe we could have made a deal." 。>Bi Xu Lao Gui stood at the bow of the Fei Tian warship of Gu Jian Zong, and shouted across the air to Ling Xiao Palace. 。

It's too early to say who wins or loses when no one has even come out yet.

" Huo Yueming muttered unconvinced, he only learned later that among the disciples of Gujianzong this time, besides a disciple with a one-month Lingjian Body, there was also a disciple with a Pure Yang Sword Body." 。He had no hope of winning, let alone with two against one. Huo Yuming didn't have any expectations, but this Bi Xu elder was simply too ruthless. Even in defeat, he wouldn't so readily hand over the Bi Yue Stone. 。"That's right, Green Beard Monster, don't get too cocky. The Blood-Colored Forbidden Zone hasn't been opened in thousands of years. Who knows what changes have happened inside I think this is a practical matter, so let's just hope for some good luck..." 。The Black Iron Old Demon, He Lao, of Qingdan Palace looked at the self-satisfied look of Patriarch Bi Xu and was so angry that his teeth itched. 。"A dead duck will still quack." 。"The ancestor Bi Xu rolled his eyes. Under absolute strength, he didn't believe in luck or no luck." 。"Alright, the time has come. Let's activate the teleportation array and bring these little ones out now." 。Another white-haired, goat-bearded elder from the Ancient Sword Sect spoke out. 。 was no need to worry about him causing any trouble.The alchemy furnace he had in hand was still usable for the time being, even capable of refining most medicinal pills needed by cultivators at the N...
