Recruit black physique to start practice in wasteland

Chapter 2550 Even Expired Food Smells Good

Youyang Zhenzun was not very worried about the space being sealed off.

Because he also has a very rare ability to sense whether the surrounding space is sealed off.

To say that a True Venerable has so many trump cards is a bit much.

In fact, it's nothing. As the territory manager of the Business Alliance, he is responsible for the important task of developing the entire Houde region.

Isn't it normal for someone like that to have more cards up their sleeve?

Moreover, not long ago, the Faceless One's assassination attempt on Qu Zhenzun involved spatial traps. Would Youyang lack similar methods?
Anyway, he didn't find any causal relationship involving spiritual energy in the surrounding space, so he persisted until the very end before leaving.

But just as his figure disappeared, a curse seemed to echo faintly in the distance, "Damn it..."

Qu Jianlei followed closely behind Han Li's gray light, wielding his black longsword and slashing forward, unleashing his third attack on the mountain-protecting formation, shouting, "Break!"

Just as he expected, the protective shield trembled twice, as if trying to maintain its last shred of dignity, before exploding with a deafening roar.

"Huh?" The next moment, he was slightly taken aback. The causal line he had vaguely locked onto had actually broken!

He was divining for the True Venerable of Youyang, and the one he was targeting was likely that person. To prevent the other party from escaping, he even amplified the karmic connection.

But at this moment, the cause and effect were actually severed, which left him somewhat bewildered—there are treasures of this caliber that can sever cause and effect?

Cause and effect are not impossible to sever. Even the Nascent Soul stage of the Sky-Piercing True Venerable was severing cause and effect. The key question is: what kind of cause and effect do you want to sever?
Even True Venerables and Divine Realm Sages hold great reverence for cause and effect; this is something that cannot be easily severed.

Given Qu Jianlei's current level of cultivation, the thing he's paying close attention to is that the other party wants to sever karmic ties and needs a treasure at the Divine Transformation level, right?
At the very least, he must be at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, because he is not only a True Venerable, but also imbued with the aura of Creation and Fortune.

However, Qu Jianlei quickly realized that the causal line had not been broken; it had only flashed briefly.

That makes sense, but it's also a bit ridiculous. Can cause and effect be avoided in an instant?

But the next moment, he was stunned again: Where did this thing go?
The causal lines stretched out in an instant, creating multiple illusory images, each one extremely subtle, seemingly broken yet not broken.

But... it's also very short, giving a strange feeling, as if it's right next to you.

With the mountain-protecting formation broken, Han Li didn't rush forward. Instead, he glanced at Qu Jianlei, seemingly waiting for him to give orders.

"You guys go first," Qu Jianlei said calmly. "I'll keep an eye on Youyang; we can't let this guy get away!"

"What's the point of going up? Just break through all the defenses," Han Li actually drew a long sword and pointed it at the plate.

In fact, his sword was enough. The area was not large to begin with, and once the protective formation was broken, there was really nothing left.

Then a wisp of mist drifted over, shaped like a jellyfish, which was the transformed form of the True Lord of Evening Mist.

To be honest, her illusion magic is truly exceptional; only Qu Jianlei and the other two know about it, so it must have been her who made the move.

Otherwise, trying to discern the true form through the thin mist would be extremely difficult.

Through her divine sense, she coldly asked, "Are there any taboos?"

"No," Han Li swung his sword forward, "Anyone who dares to ambush a True Venerable of Great Virtue shall be killed without mercy!"

“That’s exactly what I was thinking too,” the mist suddenly expanded, enveloping the entire plate.

Just as Youyang thought, the Hundred Friends Alliance's attack on Qu Jianlei aroused dissatisfaction among all the cultivators of Houde!

Although True Venerable Yugiri rarely communicates with Qianxiu, she still clearly distinguishes between outsiders and locals.

But the next moment, Qu Jianlei exclaimed softly, "Holy crap, what does this mean?"

Four or five jump jammers exploded in quick succession.
Immediately afterwards, several turbulent spatial currents emerged, though not very strong, their fluctuations were considerable.

This is not a spatial disturbance in the cultivation world, but is based on another set of rules. Even if it is not strong, the rules cannot be violated!
Immediately afterwards, a figure tumbled out, "What the hell...did this guy go there?"

Youyang Zhenzun never dreamed that after he activated the teleportation, he would see a familiar scene again after a dizzying moment!
Not far ahead, wasn't that the very plate he had just escaped from?

What the hell is all this? He really couldn't understand it. "Wasn't there no sealed space?"

His response was a cold gaze, a gaze filled with not only vicissitudes but also the erosion of time…

The next moment, a black blade of light slashed down, cutting him in two.

Immediately afterwards, countless crisscrossing blade beams flashed, slicing the figure into countless fragments.

Youyang should have quite a few trump cards, but the feeling of being abruptly pulled back halfway through the teleportation... does anyone understand?

He was completely bewildered, and when he fell back into reality from the teleportation channel, he didn't have time to use many of his abilities.

Even so, an extremely subtle fluctuation sped away into the distance.

However, a faint shadow swept across the sky, vaguely resembling an axe.

The shadow of the giant axe swept past, and the wave of energy vanished without a trace, never to be seen again.

Upon seeing this, Han Li's eyes lit up immediately. "This warp jammer... it's really a good thing!"

Qu Jianlei glanced at Bo Wu, seemingly casually, and said, "It's expired!"

You're so greedy, can't you at least be a little more reserved?
However, True Venerable Yugiri didn't care about his attitude. "It's good for tricking people. Give me some later, and I'll deduct it from your reward!"

Her reaction was moderate; she initially believed that this was merely an effective supplement and could not replace the mainstream methods in the cultivation world.

Secondly, she was willing to pay the price for it; she didn't take it for free.

As it turns out, although Xiwu appears aloof and cold, she is no different from other female cultivators and is also very concerned about wealth.

The next moment, her voice became lighter, "We've discovered the Merchant Alliance's warehouse. Shall we open it?"

Han Li remained silent, but looked at Qu Jianlei—simple murder for revenge is not the same as murder for treasure.

"Open it," Qu Jianlei said calmly, "be careful, and don't leave any trace."

There are bound to be traps or something in the warehouse, so it goes without saying that leaving no trace is even more inexplicable.

"Hmm," Yugiri hummed softly, and a series of muffled thuds came from the mist-shrouded platform.

Qu Jianlei frowned slightly, calculated again, and sighed softly, "Thank you for your trouble, senior."

A giant axe suddenly appeared in the air, and then vanished in an instant.

"You also have clones?" Han Li glanced at him and asked softly.

“It must be a soul-splitting possession,” Qu Jianlei replied in a deep voice. “Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to persuade this senior to come.”

Although he repaired the giant axe, it is still a ritual object, and one must refrain from touching it improperly.

The previous pursuit of Wumian by Liqi was certainly related to the ambush of Qu Jianlei by the other party, but the main reason was that using Zhenzun as a puppet was too evil.

This time, the giant axe's execution of the fleeing remnant soul was deliberately driven by Qu Jianlei.

However, he could sense that the ritual implements were somewhat resistant to this.

However, after the giant axe obliterated the remnant soul, the spirit's obsession told him that there was an evil fragment outside that wanted to be eliminated.

Qu Jianlei couldn't help but guess: if this split soul could be described as evil, it would at least be a case of possession, right?
However, Han Li was not surprised by this. He didn't think highly of the people from the Merchant Alliance, saying, "These guys are all cowards..."

What he was concerned about was, "If the ritual artifacts were to hunt down the split soul, would the commotion still be so great?"

Last time, the ritual weapon wiped out the Faceless in the Lonely Plate, which caused quite a stir, but others were not very clear about the origin of the short arrow.

If this ritual artifact is used again and causes such a huge commotion, the impact on this realm will be enormous.

“I didn’t ask,” Qu Jianlei shook his head. “That person can’t be communicated with either, so let it be.”

Upon hearing this, Han Li glanced at him, pondered for a moment, and slowly shook her head, clearly having her own opinion.

The next moment, he raised his hand and began to calculate, then frowned and muttered softly, "Damn, no cave dwelling?"

After annihilating Youyang, True Venerable Xiwu was concerned about the Merchant Alliance's warehouse, but the two of them were more concerned about each other's cave dwellings.

It's not that Leng Yankun was short-sighted; it's just that she wasn't very familiar with this process.

“It’s impossible that he doesn’t,” Qu Jianlei shook his head and answered without hesitation, “He is the head of the Business Alliance.”

Regardless of their social status, resources, or business needs, it's impossible for Youyang to be without a cave dwelling.

Han Li understood what he meant and couldn't help but sigh, "So they've hidden it... I really don't know who will benefit this time."

The person has already been killed, and the only remaining fragment of his soul probably won't live much longer either. It's too late to chase after him now.

It must be admitted that this is truly a regrettable matter.

"Then let's leave it to fate," Qu Jianlei said, taking it all in stride.

He even comforted Han Li, saying, "I found my cave dwelling in the same way back then. If we can find it, we can't stop others from finding it."

The next moment, Xiwu's divine sense transmitted over, "What, the cave is gone?"

“That’s not surprising,” Han Li said calmly. “These business people are always used to thinking things through a bit more.”

However, what Yugiri cared about was not just the cave dwelling.

She sighed softly, "But there aren't many decent supplies in the warehouse either."

"Damn it!" Han Li cursed under his breath before looking at Qu Zhenzun. "The important supplies should be in the cave."

"Uh," Qu Jianlei was speechless and could only reply in a low voice, "I found the cave, but there weren't any supplies inside."

"Let's leave it to fate," Han Li shook her head, both amused and exasperated. "I thought you really didn't care."

“It’s just a minor detail,” Qu Jianlei shook his head. “Take as much as you can; after all, even a mosquito bite is still meat.”

"Fellow Daoists, haven't you gone a bit too far?" A phantom figure appeared not far away.

"This is the habitable area... uh, is it Qu Zhenzun? And Fellow Daoist Hanli?"

"Go back," Han Li waved his hand and said calmly, "The cause and effect here is not something a True Venerable of your family can interfere with."

This guy is a master of courting death; he dares to say anything.
