Chapter 46: Wuxi Mountain
The dough was placed over the barbarian's face, and after a moment, his face was imprinted. Then, it was enough to cover another person's face to achieve the effect of changing their appearance.
"This item is enough to shield the spiritual consciousness of those below the Foundation Establishment stage; it is truly a treasure."
Li Wu looked at his completely changed face and was slightly surprised.
The things at that trade fair were really strange and unusual.
"One more step."
After doing all this, Li Wu took out a jade box from his storage bag, which contained a dead Gu worm.
Li Wu didn't know what use this was, but he figured it would attract the attention of those who practiced witchcraft.
Li Wu looked at the Gu worm, remained silent for a moment, then chanted incantations and made hand seals, injecting spiritual power into it.
The worm truly came to life, and its six legs began to move.
"He's alive!"
Li Wu frowned slightly and quickly threw the Gu worm away into the distance.
…………
On Wuxi Mountain.
On a high platform made of jade, there were several wizards dressed in fine clothes. They also sensed something and looked into the distance.
"It's a Blood Prayer Gu!"
"How could such a Gu suddenly appear here?"
"It's a trap, it must be that person's scheme!"
"You must not act rashly!"
They talked and discussed, their tone urgent.
At this moment, an old shaman holding a beast-headed scepter said in a deep voice:
"No."
"The Qi Blood Gu hasn't appeared for decades. Even if it's a trap, we have to go and take a look."
"That's right, this is our territory. With our master watching over us, those Purple Mansion True Persons would never dare to make a move rashly."
The man at the head of the table pondered for a moment and said:
"Then let the two junior brothers go and take a look."
…………
Li Wu, dressed in barbarian clothes, blended into the ranks.
"You, yes, it's you."
At this moment, a man carrying a whip walked over and pointed at Li Wudao:
"See that big black wild boar over there? Go and help the three of them carry it up the mountain."
For some reason, the others avoided the situation as soon as they heard that they were carrying a wild boar.
But Li Wu was worried about having no reason to go up the mountain, so he nodded repeatedly in agreement.
"Yes, ma'am."
Li Wu ran over and saw the other three people carrying the pig looking deathly still.
"Is this pig being carried to its death?" Li Wu thought to himself.
Four men carried the black-haired wild boar, which was bound hand and foot, up the steps to the top of the mountain.
Li Wu silently counted, and after walking up 1,600 steps, he saw a large platform appear in front of him.
There are several early-stage Qi Refiners on the platform, each guarding a pool.
The pool was full of blood, and the smell of blood was strong. The three men carrying the pig vomited.
In order to avoid being discovered, Li Wu also pretended to vomit.
At this moment, one of the Qi Refining cultivators walked over, stared at the four of them, and said:
"Go, throw the offerings into the pool."
"The grand ceremony will be held in three months; it cannot be delayed."
Big festival?
Three months later?
Li Wuwei frowned slightly; it seemed the grand sacrificial ceremony was about to continue.
These witchcraft rituals inevitably evoke imagery.
"It seems we need to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible."
Urged on by the Qi Refining cultivators, they slowly walked onto the platform. Li Wu glanced around and saw that there were four Qi Refining cultivators there.
They are all at the mid-stage of Qi Refining.
"Using the [Golden Mirror], we can kill them in a moment," Li Wuxin estimated.
However, if I kill them, my identity will inevitably be exposed, and then I'll have to figure out where to go.
He needs to find the treasure trove on the mountain.
Just as Li was pondering, they had already walked into the pool.
Looking down, what was in the pool? It was clearly a pool teeming with bloody worms.
They kept crawling around, revealing piles of white bones underneath.
When the insects saw someone approaching, they spread their wings and pounced on the person's face.
"Ah! Ah!!!"
A wail of agony immediately echoed in all directions.
A moment later, the other two were so frightened that they dropped the wild boar and ran away, with Li Wu following closely behind.
However, these blood-red insects were even faster and caught up in an instant.
Li Wu frowned as he watched the approaching insect, deciding to stop pretending. He was immediately enveloped in lightning and summoned the Golden Mirror.
Li Wu attacked the two cultivators closest to him.
Lightning erupted from the treasure mirror, striking the two Qi Refining cultivators directly.
Caught off guard, the two didn't even have time to activate their protective auras before being blasted away, crashing into the edge of the stone platform and spitting out blood.
At the same time, lightning crackled around Li Wu, repelling all the blood-red insects that lunged at him.
The insects were struck by the electric arc, charred and falling to the ground, emitting a pungent, burnt smell.
"He's a spy!"
The remaining two Qi Refining cultivators finally reacted, and one of them hurriedly summoned a bone banner, which surged with black energy.
The other person bit his tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood mist, which instantly transformed into countless tiny blood threads that coiled around Li Wu.
Li Wu's expression remained unchanged, and he activated the Golden Mirror in his hand once more.
This time, the mirror shone even brighter, and a silver-white lightning bolt flashed. The bone banner was pierced by the lightning in the black mist, and the cultivator holding the banner screamed as his arm and the bone banner broke off together.
The blood threads wrapped around Li Wu's arm, but were scorched by the lightning surrounding him, making it impossible for them to penetrate even a little.
"A cultivator with the attribute of lightning?!"
"This is a foundation-building artifact!"
The two cultivators looked horrified. They knew they were no match for Lei Xiu, so they prepared to make hand seals to report.
Li Wu didn't give them a chance to continue sending messages, and two more bolts of lightning struck.
Both men were pierced through the chest and died instantly.
"This place is not safe to stay for long."
Li Wu glanced around and randomly chose a lively spot to fly to.
…………
On the high platform.
The remaining wizards noticed the lightning that filled the air.
"Leishu?"
"It still carries the aura of [Divine Thunder]."
"Why would demonic cultivators from the Golden Yue Sect come here?"
"No, how could the Golden Axe Sect allow someone to cultivate the Divine Thunder technique?"
"No matter what, we should still capture this Lei Xiu, lest we ruin the grand ceremony to come."
…………
Li Wuluo stood in front of a stone gate. Outside the gate was a large array, guarded by dozens of Qi Opening Realm cultivators and several Qi Refining Realm cultivators.
"Heavily guarded, could it be a treasure vault?"
With a thought, Li Wunian took out dozens of talismans and infused them with spiritual power.
Then, a barrage of attacks, including fire, ice spikes, and wooden vines, rained down.
Those cultivators at the Enlightenment Realm were all killed by this sudden attack.
The Qi Refining cultivator reacted quickly, forming hand seals to defend himself while simultaneously using the wind to propel himself into the air.
They found Li Wu hiding.
"Who are you! How dare you trespass on my Wuxi Mountain!"
Li Wu smiled faintly and once again summoned the Golden Mirror.
He was originally a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator, stronger than them.
In addition, he cultivates the [Divine Thunder] path, which is effective against witchcraft cultivators, and he also possesses a Foundation Establishment level magic weapon.
Li Wu was able to kill them one by one with great ease.
