Chapter 271: The Peril of Huanyuan Peak
September 9th, sunny.
Huan Yuanfeng.
Zhu Yaqin leaned lazily against the main seat in the hall, her jade-like hand holding a wine cup.
Luo Tianyi was seated on the right in the hall.
"Fairy Yaqin, my brother-in-law sent a message, asking us to try and win over Mr. Yang!" Luo Tianyi said, taking a sip of tea.
Mr. Yang has always disliked fighting...
In the past, Nanyan Peak united many prominent families.
They promised to offer him a thousand low-grade spirit stones every year, hoping to make him the leader of the alliance and fight against the Southern Ridge Immortal City...
Despite such a huge temptation, he resolutely refused.
"Now, two fake Core Formation Immortals have appeared out of nowhere in Nanling... rivaling Nanling Immortal City... it's as difficult as climbing to heaven for us to win them over..." Zhu Yaqin took a sip of wine, her beautiful eyes blinking, her alluring demeanor as she looked out of the main hall.
Her eyes narrowed slightly, as if the silhouette of a man was appearing before her.
Wanting to see it clearly, yet it's as if shrouded in fog, making it difficult to uncover its secrets.
"Sigh, given Mr. Yang's personality, it's indeed difficult to get him to take sides right now!" Luo Tianyi said, taking a sip of his drink.
He also felt somewhat annoyed.
I thought that Nanling Immortal City was at its zenith, and as long as the third-tier immortal sects didn't intervene, they would surely be able to unify the seventy-two peaks.
Who would have thought that two fake alchemists would suddenly appear out of nowhere?
Today, Nanling Xiancheng no longer enjoys its advantages.
If those two fake Core Formation cultivators were to join forces, that vast immortal city might very well collapse.
Without the support of Nanling Immortal City, he could no longer live as freely as before.
"Mr. Yang is no ordinary man; it's not so easy for others to drag him down!" Zhu Yaqin said.
"Oh!" Upon hearing this, Luo Tian's eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "Fairy Yaqin, do you think that Mr. Yang was able to resist such a great temptation and not become the leader of the Southern Ridge Alliance? Is it because he is truly not good at fighting and is indifferent to worldly affairs, or is there another motive?"
He was suspicious.
months ago.
Tan Jiuling led his men to the Ye family, intending to elect Yang Jiuli as the leader of the alliance to govern all families and fight against the Nanling Immortal City.
At that time, Luo Tianyi was itching to get involved and kept sighing that having a background in a celestial sect was a great advantage.
If he had a confidante like Qin Zhixue, he would surely seize this opportunity to raise his voice and rule over the Southern Ridge.
After all, such an opportunity is extremely rare.
With almost no effort, they gathered together the various families of Nanling. Such an opportunity would have been unimaginable under normal circumstances.
Even a True Person from a third-tier immortal sect would be tempted.
Just as Luo Tianyi was feeling envious, thinking that Yang Jiuli was lucky, he received news.
Mr. Yang refused the offer.
He was quite angry, saying that the various families wanted to harm him.
This made Luo Tian sigh, wishing he could take his place.
"Not good at fighting?" Upon hearing this, Zhu Yaqin chuckled, her beautiful eyes blinking as she glanced at Luo Tianyi below.
"Have you forgotten how 'Demon Blade' died?"
"The 'Fiend Blade'..." Luo Tianyi shuddered. Three Foundation Establishment cultivators from the 'Fiend Blade Alliance' had died at the same time.
It's hard to imagine that a Qi Refining cultivator could possess such abilities.
Even with a third-tier talisman, it's not guaranteed that one could instantly kill three Foundation Establishment cultivators.
After all, cultivators with refined qi have limited magical power and are unable to fully unleash the power of a third-tier talisman.
Once it can be activated, it is usually the limit, and then it will exhaust its magic power and divine sense.
Back then, even a Qi Refining cultivator could kill him.
How could he possibly wipe out so many cultivators from the 'Fiend Blade Alliance'?
Upon hearing this news, Luo Tianyi was also extremely shocked and held Mr. Yang in high regard.
"After destroying 'Evil Blade'... he immediately invited 'Bright Moon Fairy' to intimidate the villains... such a decisive and efficient style of doing things is not something a person who dislikes fighting and has a cold temperament could do!" Zhu Yaqin said leisurely.
She took a sip of wine and looked out of the palace.
Whenever she thought of that man, she would sigh a few more times.
I can only say that I misjudged him in the past.
He also said that he ultimately lacked the necessary foundation to form an alliance with such a person.
otherwise……
With the two of them working together, how could they not achieve great things?
"Mr. Yang is indeed decisive!" Luo Tian nodded, now realizing that he had underestimated this man.
"Judging from what you've said, fairy, could it be that his rejection of Tan Jiuling was also a well-considered decision?" he suddenly asked.
"Of course!" Zhu Yaqin said.
Luo Tianyi looked at Zhu Yaqin and asked, "Why did he refuse?"
Firstly: Master Wanyue has gone into seclusion!
"Secondly: With the Ice River Valley's involvement, other immortal sects will inevitably enter the Southern Ridge. In that case, Mr. Yang will be placed in the eye of the storm, becoming a target for all forces. Why would he do something that puts him in such a precarious situation?"
Zhu Yaqin said.
"That is why he said that the powerful families wanted to harm him."
A glint of wisdom shone in her eyes, suggesting she knew Mr. Yang quite well.
The more this happened, the stronger her regret became.
"Don't you want to put yourself in the spotlight?" Luo Tianyi's gaze narrowed slightly.
His thoughts raced, and he wondered to himself, "Could it be that his refusal to accept the Foundation Establishment Pill and enter 'Huanyuan Peak' in the past was for the same reason?"
Thinking of this, a bitter smile appeared on his lips. It turned out that his once proud opportunity had been misplaced.
They are seen as a source of danger by others.
Fortunately, he is now safe and sound, and has even made a name for himself.
Only then did Luo Tianyi feel a little better.
"It is said that Mr. Yang has established a second-tier superior immortal foundation!" he suddenly said, as if he had thought of something.
The Ye family was one of the seven great families in the past.
Some of them recounted what they saw and heard that day.
Therefore, Luo Tianyi also obtained various kinds of information.
"At the age of sixty... to have established a second-tier superior immortal foundation... it is indeed a miracle!" Zhu Yaqin exclaimed.
"Mr. Yang is indeed a remarkable person!" Luo Tianyi said.
At this moment, he also felt more respect for Mr. Yang.
boom!
Suddenly, a deafening roar shook the heavens.
Accompanying this was a sound like a mirror shattering.
Upon hearing this voice, Zhu Yaqin, who was leaning lazily against the main seat, narrowed her eyes and revealed a solemn expression.
She abruptly stood up, her face solemn, and looked out of the hall.
"That is it!" The powerful divine sense reached out and saw the protective light shield surrounding Huanyuan Peak suddenly shatter.
Accompanying this was a powerful shockwave that swept from the sky toward the territory of the Zhu family of Huanyuan Peak.
"The formation... has been broken!" Luo Tianyi shuddered and jumped up, looking up at the sky outside the hall.
Zhu Yaqin looked solemn and said, "Let's go see who it is!" As she spoke, she flew out of the main hall on the wind.
Luo Tianyi followed.
But then they saw the clouds and mist dissipating high in the sky.
A middle-aged man dressed in brocade robes and wearing a cloth hat strolled over.
The man's gaze was deep and sharp as an eagle's as he swept his eyes toward Huan Yuanfeng.
With just one glance, he locked onto Zhu Yaqin, who had just flown out of the main hall.
Zhu Yaqin had just flown into the air above the training ground outside the main hall when that gaze swept over her. A powerful divine sense pressed down on her, causing her heart to tremble. She stopped in mid-air, her face grave as she looked up at the sky ahead. "It's a fake Core Formation cultivator!"
She felt a chill run down her spine.
"Judging from this person's attire, he seems to be from the 'Zhongjiabao' of the Yue Kingdom." Her mind raced as she thought about it.
Meanwhile, in the air, the man in brocade locked onto Zhu Yaqin and flew over at lightning speed, riding the clouds.
"Who are you, and why have you trespassed on my 'Huanyuan Peak'? I am Yu from the Southern Ridge Immortal City..." At this moment, Luo Tianyi flew out of the hall. He stood beside Zhu Yaqin, took a step forward, and looked at the man who was flying in on the wind.
He planned to reveal his family name so that the visitors would be wary.
After all, in the Nanling Mountains, everyone still has to give Nanling Immortal City some face.
However, as soon as Luo Tianyi spoke, Zhu Yaqin flashed, having already affixed a second-tier 'Divine Speed Talisman,' and immediately rode the wind, flying rapidly backward. Luo Tianyi's words only fell after she had flown a hundred meters away.
He also sensed something was wrong and turned to look at Zhu Yaqin.
"Fairy Yaqin..." Luo Tianyi began.
"Noisy..." At this moment, a cold snort rang out from high in the sky.
The man wearing the cloth hat waved his hand, and a swarm of crimson-gold beetles flew out from beside him, swirling towards Luo Tianyi.
The beetles came swarming in, densely packed, numbering in the thousands.
Upon hearing the voice, Luo Tianyi felt a chill run down his spine. He didn't even bother to look at Zhu Yaqin before turning his head to look in the direction of the sound.
At that glance, he felt a chill run down his spine.
The beetles flew in, their tiny, thin wings fluttering, and the sound of their flapping wings was like a never-ending tide.
It was like a scene of clashing swords and galloping horses, a magnificent and imposing sight, with the swirling winds making the air howl.
Far surpassing ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators.
"Oh no... This is a second-tier swarm of insects!" Luo Tianyi exclaimed in alarm. He immediately used both hands to cast a spell.
"Blue Light Shield!"
A blue light burst forth in front of him, and ten light shields appeared instantly, like a giant wall, blocking his way.
After casting this second-tier spell, he moved with incredible speed, turning around and fleeing rapidly towards Zhu Yaqin.
However, just as Luo Tianyi had escaped several feet away, the swarm of insects attacked.
It completely devoured the blue light shield he had unleashed.
Then, the swarm of insects dispersed and pursued Luo Tianyi from both the left and right.
In just a few breaths, the two sides were only ten meters apart.
The insect's flight speed far exceeded that of Luo Tianyi.
"What terrifying speed!" Luo Tianyi was filled with fear, so he immediately took out a second-tier 'Swiftness Talisman' and stuck it to his feet.
At the same time, a blue light burst forth from his body, and his magical power surged out like a torrent, manifesting a phantom of a 'human flower' behind him. The immense magical power condensed into two long spears, which pierced towards the rapidly pursuing swarm of insects.
"Overestimating yourself..." A cold snort rang out.
Accompanying it was an immense and unparalleled pressure of divine consciousness.
Under that spiritual pressure, Luo Tian felt his consciousness tremble and his body briefly became dazed.
Even the greenwood spear he unleashed trembled and shattered in mid-air.
The next instant, the swarm of insects seized the opportunity and appeared three feet behind Luo Tianyi, the sound of their thin wings flapping reaching his ears.
"No... Senior, please have mercy..." Luo Tianyi was terrified. However, the swarm of insects rushed over and engulfed him. Countless insects began to gnaw at his flesh and blood. "Ah! No, senior, I am the brother-in-law of the young master of Nanling Immortal City."
However, the visitor completely ignored Luo Tianyi.
Without even glancing at her, he rode the wind and chased after Zhu Yaqin ahead.
And he spoke coldly.
"Zhu Yaqin, hand over the ancient secret technique... and I will spare your life... Otherwise, not only you, but the Zhu clan will also be wiped out of Nanling today..." A cold and majestic voice echoed from the man in brocade robes.
