Chapter 186: Jealousy

d in her hands, like flowing moonlight, converging into a stream in mid-air and striking at almost the same point as Xiang Qingcheng's attack. 。With Lu Qing's eyesight, he naturally knew that it would...Lu Xiaitian began to stop operating the Qixing Array, busy dealing with the Fire Jiao's corpse, but he did not relax his vigilance towards the woman in white. He was not a match for the woman in white, but he had a main and deputy Yuanshen. If the woman in white really wanted to cross the river and demolish the bridge, he would also hesitate to activate the Qixing Array again and kill her within the array.

After all, although this woman in white was a Jindan cultivator, after a fierce battle with the Jindan-level fire dragon, her元 qi was severely injured, and her strength was reduced to one tenth. She had fallen to the level of a Zhuji cultivator. An ordinary Zhuji cultivator could not escape the Seven Stars Killing Formation at all.

Both of them had a myriad of thoughts swirling in their minds.

Lu Xiaoteng finished processing the fire dragon’s body, his clothes rippled as a breeze blew by, scattering the faint smell of blood from his person. Just as Lu Xiaoteng was about to turn around, a sweet scent wafted towards him.

It was that Golden Core female cultivator. Lu Xia Tian's eyebrows furrowed, his heart skipping a beat. He turned and struck out with a palm, but when he turned around and saw Dongfang Yi's face flushed, her eyes like autumn water, alluring and captivating, he suddenly realized something was wrong. He hurriedly retracted the force of his palm, but his hand remained in front of the woman, unable to be reversed.

A random thought surged upwards, Lu Xia Tian bit his tongue tip, trying to suppress the chaotic thoughts in his mind. Just coming into contact with this Dongfang Yi, the blissful fragrance had an effect on Lu Xia Tian as well. He had also consumed a considerable amount of energy earlier. Moreover, his cultivation was far inferior to Dongfang Yi's, so the blissful fragrance's effect on Lu Xia Tian was even more pronounced. Dongfang Yi only felt a burning sensation throughout her body, her breath disordered, and the peaceful state of mind she cultivated in the past was gone.

Lu Xia Tian felt as if he had just woken from a very long dream. In the dream, he seemed to be hugging a woman. At first, her image was blurry, but gradually became clearer. Suddenly, it was Dongfang Yi's stunningly beautiful face. It seemed that a massive and unparalleled spiritual power formed a cycle between the two.

His own magical power also swiftly began to flow along his meridians, making a gurgling sound. The magical power flowed into Dongfang Yi's body and then back into Lu Xiaitian's meridians. With each rotation, it would become purer by a few points.

At this time, Lu Xia Tian was not yet aware that the magic power within him was gradually becoming more refined and powerful. The operation of magic power was entirely an unconscious action, and even Lu Xia Tian did not need to use his divine consciousness to deliberately control it.

For a moment, Lu Xia Tian felt warmth all over his body, a feeling of comfort and ease. It was similar to the sensation he experienced when he broke through to a new realm before.

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Xia Tian's consciousness gradually blurred and he fell into a deep sleep. Time silently slipped away. When he woke up again, the woman in his arms was not Dong Fang Yi but someone else. Lu Xia Tian couldn't help but wryly smile in his heart. He never expected this to happen. Now that his mind was clear, he dared not treat Dong Fang Yi as an ordinary young woman.

The other party was a Jindan cultivator whose cultivation level was several times higher than his. However, Lu Xia Tian was also feeling very troubled in his heart. He didn't know how to face the current situation. What if Dong Fang Yi woke up and vented his anger on him The other party could kill him with just a flick of his finger. Yet, the two bodies were still leaning against each other.

"How long are you going to keep this up"

Dongfang Yi's voice was cold, "In fact, Dongfang Yi had woken up long ago. The two faced each other frankly, and they could feel each other's heartbeat when they breathed. Originally, she planned to wait for Lu Xiaoteng to wake up first, but she didn't expect that Lu Xiaoteng would react the same way as her."

Lu XiaTian smiled wryly in his heart. He finally couldn't pretend anymore. Judging from the situation, Dongfang Yi didn't know how long she had been awake. Lu XiaTian opened his eyes and said, "You're awake"

“Just woke up.” Dongfang Yi couldn’t help but feel embarrassed. A pair of arms like jade lotus propped her up. Dongfang Yi was already trying to remain composed, but under Lu Xiaoteng’s gaze, she lost her composure again, and stepped on his palm with one foot.

Although he had performed the rites of courtesy as Zhou Gong before, Lu Xia Tian only fully regained his senses now and truly appreciated Dong Fang Yi's stunning beauty. However, time was short. In the blink of an eye, Dong Fang Yi took out a robe and put it on, reaching into the magma pool to grasp the Bi Yan Xin Lian in her hand. She lightly opened her pearly teeth and said, "No matter who you are, it's best to leave Di Yan Shan as quickly as possible and go as far away as you can. Otherwise, you may face unforeseen consequences."

"I will find a way to leave." Lu Xia Tian nodded, seeing Dongfang Yi's eyes had returned to clarity. The other party was a Jindan cultivator, although they had shared the most intimate kind of relationship, they didn't even ask an extra word, clearly unwilling to have any entanglement with him in the future. Lu Xia Tian also knew his own place. Since the other party didn't want any entanglement, he wouldn't cling on desperately. He just couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Although Dongfang Yi wanted to draw a line with Lu Xia Tian, hearing his straightforward acceptance, she couldn't help but feel a tinge of annoyance. He agreed so readily. Just looking at this young man, though not handsome, had a few points of handsomeness. Moreover, he was resolute in character. Once he regained clarity, there was an unusual calmness in his eyes, something rarely seen in such a young cultivator.

If so, if so, think about it, it's not very likely. With her status in the Xuanbingmen, if others heard that she had entanglements with such a Qi Refining cultivator, I'm afraid that before the news even came out, Lu Xiaottian would die at the hands of other Golden Core cultivators. Thinking about this, Dongfang Yi couldn't help but feel a strange and indescribable taste in her heart. Cultivators, in the eyes of mortals, are lofty and free from worldly constraints. In reality, those invisible shackles exist all the time.

“Junior sister, I was wondering why I hadn't seen you for a while. It turns out you came here alone. This place is in such disarray, did you encounter any danger” Just as the two were deep in thought, a joyful voice rang out, not far away. It was clear that the other party was almost there.

Lu Xiaottian's heart sank. The voice belonged to Zhou Jia's Jindan ancestor. Even a fool could tell how Zhou Jia's Jindan ancestor felt about Dongfang Yi when they were at the Zhou family camp. Now that Dongfang Yi had gotten close with him and was caught red-handed, Lu Xiaottian, who usually outsmarted everyone, was completely clueless.

Dongfang Yi's eyes were also filled with panic, but after all, she was already a Jindan cultivator, and she quickly regained her composure.

Zhou Tong’s face was full of joy. He and Dongfang Yi had gone their separate ways into the Di Yan Mountains over twenty days ago. Dongfang Yi's breathtaking beauty constantly appeared in his mind, thoughts swirling endlessly with longing. Now, he finally sensed Dongfang Yi's presence again, as if she were about to be under him. However, he couldn't be completely sure. Before anyone arrived, he cautiously tested the waters, unconsciously speeding up his pace. But the scene before him left him dumbfounded. The cave floor was littered with white dress fragments. What shocked him even more was that Dongfang Yi, whom he had long admired, was now barefooted, her slender jade feet exposed. Another young man, whom he had never seen before, was also partially unclothed.

Zhou Tong, even a fool would know what had happened before. His painstaking plans ended up benefiting this little guy who was only at the early stage of foundation building. He trembled with difficulty as he pointed at the front, "Junior sister, you've wasted my heartfelt devotion to you! You... you actually betrayed me for this Foundation Establishment cultivator..."

"This is my own business, what does it have to do with Brother Zhou"

If this had happened to an ordinary woman, she would have been mortified. But Dongfang Yi had completely recovered her composure. While calmly replying to Zhou Tong, she had already put her dress back on. At this time, she still remembered some of what had happened before. Thinking about her own initiative towards this Foundation Establishment boy and her previous entanglement, she felt a blush creep up her cheeks. However, Dongfang Yi was not a fool. She knew that she had been led astray by someone, and this person was most likely Zhou Tong. But there was no concrete evidence. Now that things had come to this, she didn't want to stay here any longer. As for the grudge between her and Zhou Tong, there would be plenty of time to settle it later.

“You, I’ll kill you!” When Zhou Tong heard this, he was instantly filled with envy and jealousy towards Lu Xia Tian. His eyes were bloodshot, almost insane. He didn't dare to cause trouble for Dong Fang Yi, but how could he possibly deal with this Foundation Establishment ant After calculating everything meticulously, he ended up losing the Extreme Bliss Fragrance and gaining nothing, not to mention that this ant had reaped enormous benefits. Zhou Tong was enraged, his heart overwhelmed by anger. With a wave of his hand, a tidal wave of pressure crashed down towards Lu Xia Tian.

Here's the translation:

It seems like this time there's no escaping it. Lu Xia Tian sighed, facing a cultivator at the Golden Core stage. Even with the Thunder Orb in hand, he was utterly powerless against such a vast difference in strength. All his schemes and tricks would be useless against such an overwhelming power gap.

With a deafening boom! The two powerful blasts of energy collided, creating a massive whirlwind. Lu Butian was sent reeling backward, sliding several zhang before managing to regain his footing.

“Junior Sister, you, you actually stopped me” Zhou Tong glared at Dongfang Yi with a twisted face.

“He saved my life. I can't control what happens elsewhere, but in front of me, you better not force me to make a move, or you'll only bring shame upon yourself.” Dongfang Yi slowly drew his long sword. Although his tone was calm, his attitude was extremely firm.

Lu Xiaotian was shocked. He hadn't expected Dongfang Yi to step in and stop Zhou Tong. It seemed that Dongfang Yi had recovered quite a bit from his injuries now.

"What are you standing there for Get out of here quickly. I can't hold Zhou Tong off for long. Even if you leave now, he will find a way to hunt you down. You're on your own." Dongfang Yi's voice echoed in Lu Xiaitian's ear, filled with urgency.

"When the day comes when I no longer have to look up at you, I'll go find you." Lu Xia Tian's expression was complicated. He knew this would anger Zhou Family Ancestor again, but his blood surged with passion and he calmly said it, then darted into the secret passage, quickly disappearing.

Oriental Yi felt a mixture of anger and amusement. Though she didn't know what to make of this young man who even forgot his own name, hearing his parting words oddly brought her comfort. He seemed outwardly calm and unassuming, but there was a hidden pride within him.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Tong was furious and wanted to chase after him. However, Dongfang Yi had already moved gracefully, stopping at the entrance of the cave.

In the cavern passage, Lu Xia Tian, who was sprinting at high speed, was surprised to find that his original weak and feeble deputy primordial spirit had once again returned to normal, and even seemed to have grown a few points stronger. The mana in his dantian once again broke through its previous realm, reaching the third level of foundation building. To be able to advance another level in such a short time, it was hard to believe. Could it be because of his intimate relationship with Dongfang Yi Thinking about it, this seemed to be the only possibility. Although his cultivation had made great strides, he had offended Zhou Tong, a golden core cultivator, and he didn't know if this was good fortune or misfortune. However, despite the difficult situation at hand, Lu Xia Tian did not regret it.

Rushing through the intricate and labyrinthine tunnels of the cave, Lu Xia Tian let out another wry smile. The effect of this Di Yan Mountain's suppression on divine sense made escaping not an easy feat. After all, Zhou Tong was also a Golden Core cultivator, acting completely independently. After separating from Dong Fang Yi, he would definitely come to kill him with full force. Dong Fang Yi might not be able to hold him back for long. Lu Xia Tian suddenly realized a harsh truth - his speed of getting out couldn't possibly match Zhou Tong's. By the time he made it out, Zhou Tong might already be waiting for him ahead.

After a moment of thought, Lu Xia Tian took out the mask he had bought from Wangyue City and changed his clothes slightly. His aura suddenly changed, becoming a young man with fair skin and a long face, at the late stage of Qi refinement. He looked similar to Liu Tong who followed Yu Hua when they went to Dijia Mountain, also at the late stage of Qi refinement. After examining his clothes and aura, making sure there were no major flaws, Lu Xia Tian showed a satisfied expression. Directly entering was tantamount to suicide. As long as he didn't directly encounter Zhou Tong, with the help of the disguise mask and this set of breath-concealing technique, it wouldn't be impossible to slip out unnoticed.

After disguising himself, Lu Xia Tian continued to search for a way out, killing some demonic beasts along the way.

Ten days later, a team of six people rested on several large stones in the grotto. Lu Xia Tian sat in a corner, this squad was when he was looking for an exit, chased by a group of fire scorpions, he also pretended to be discovered by the swarm of fire scorpions, and then fled together, along the way there were several Zhou family cultivators who died at the hands of the scorpion swarm, their six escaped, it can be said that they have gone through hardship together, plus Lu Xia Tian before about Yu Hua's people also got a lot of information, if those people are all dead, naturally no one would suspect that he was an impostor.

“It’s truly unbearable in here. Although I’ve collected some spiritual objects, staying here for a long time isn’t a good solution either. The air is murky, and the fire element spirits are too intense, which isn't suitable for our cultivation. Staying here too long would be detrimental to our health.” Huang Ligu, a man with thinning hair, said helplessly as he chewed on a piece of roasted wolf meat.

“There’s no way around it. We haven’t found any valuable spirit ores or other treasures yet. Besides, the old ancestor’s temper seems to have been rather bad these past few days. Even a few cultivators before the foundation-building stage who supposedly angered the old ancestor were punished. One was even stripped of his cultivation base. The fact that we can still stay inside and catch our breath is already quite good.” Another middle-aged man wearing a black short tunic, Mo Yousheng, sighed.

"To put it bluntly, the Zhou family doesn't treat us as their own. We, who are half-way through our cultivation journey and came to the Zhou family, are not the direct descendants of the Zhou family. Except for fire cultivators who can stay in this Yan Mountain for a long time, we water and wood cultivators suffer greatly here. In the long run, it affects our cultivation, not to mention harming our cultivation base. I think that we have already obtained many spirit creatures. Since the Zhou family doesn't allow us to leave easily, why don't we find our own way out" Huang Ligu chuckled, his eyes glancing at Lu Xia Tian. At the same time, he gave a look to the others, and the others nodded slightly, showing that they understood his meaning." know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!"Woof woof..." The little white dog, chasing after spirits, wagged its tail and looked at the little fire crow with concern, just like the...
