After the mind-reading cripple junior sister, the entire sect rose to prominence.

Chapter 12 Killing and Seizing Treasures

If a wildfire breaks out, it will be a huge disaster. We don't want them to suffer the consequences instead of getting any benefits!
Everyone started running together, rushing towards the direction of leaving the ridge. Along the way, they heard many screams and cries of pain, all from passing cultivators who had been accidentally caught in the chaos.

These cultivators were almost identical to the members of the Immortal Sect; they were all relatively poor and lacked any good magical treasures, though most of them were independent cultivators.

Why is there a dog?

While the people from the Xianlai Sect were running, they inadvertently discovered a spotted dog running alongside them. Its fur was mottled, as if it had been burned, and it also had injuries.

“It was probably caught in the crossfire innocently,” Meng Ling said after glancing at it. “Maybe it was resting in the forest when it suddenly got caught in the crossfire.”

"It's lucky it survived, it actually managed to escape," Old Liu said with a smile.

By this time, they had already pushed the fire behind them, since this direction was not downwind of the fire.

Because of this, everyone gradually became more relaxed and complacent, feeling that there was no need to keep running.

until--

[Oh no! There's an ambush!] Mo Jiuwei suddenly groaned, trying to warn them.

Whenever she felt anxious, she would use both her arms and legs to shake them together to get their attention.

Speaking of her legs, Mo Jiuwei already knew that something was wrong with her body. Everything else was fine, but her legs felt noticeably stiff, though it didn't affect her ability to kick.

what happened? ?

Upon hearing Mo Jiuwei's words, the members of the Immortal Sect were startled and looked around warily.

Then, they noticed figures suddenly flashing across the trees nearby!

"Watch out!" Old Liu shouted immediately.

"Bang bang bang!"

Several black, spherical urles were thrown to their sides, but fortunately, everyone noticed them early and dodged in time, thus avoiding being hit directly.

These thunderbolts made several muffled thuds when they landed, and the ground they hit was blasted into craters of varying sizes.

Having been discovered, the people in the trees no longer hid. The leader waved his hand and gave a curt order, "Go!"

The four jumped down, all of them at the Foundation Establishment stage, with two at the early Foundation Establishment stage, one at the middle Foundation Establishment stage, and one at the late Foundation Establishment stage.

Such cultivation level would naturally be beneath Mo Jiuwei, who had cultivated for several lifetimes, but it was more than enough to easily defeat the people from the Immortal Sect.

"Gentlemen, I do not know any of you. Why is that?"

Old Liu stretched out his arm to shield Chen Lan and Mo Jiuwei behind him, while simultaneously adopting a defensive stance and staring at the person opposite him.

"Of course, it's about killing and robbing." The leader was a sinister old man, the late Foundation Establishment cultivator, who sneered.

They truly embodied the phrase "profiting from someone's misfortune" to its fullest extent.

In reality, they came here hoping to try their luck, because they knew that treasures had appeared in Qingfeng Ridge, and many cultivators came to join in the fun.

So if things go smoothly, they can catch a few groups of people whose cultivation is inferior to theirs, and then kill them and plunder their treasures.

After observing for a while, they discovered that the people were either powerful Golden Core cultivators with higher cultivation levels, or they had disappeared like the wind on flying magical artifacts.

Until they met Old Man Liu and his group, who were a mix of old and young and had low combat strength, who else could they rob if not them?
"If that's the case, then let's not waste any more words."

Old Liu drew his sword, his face cold. He was prepared for a fight to the death, because he feared things wouldn't end well today, and even if all of them went, they wouldn't be a match for the enemy.

He gave a look to the many young disciples of the Immortal Sect, signaling them to escape first.

Hu Jiu's eyes reddened, his hand stroking the wine gourd at his waist, then he resolutely stood beside Old Liu. "So what if it's a fight to the death? Who's afraid of who!"

He still had the strength to smile.

Leave? How do we leave?
There were four of them; how could Liu Feng possibly stop them all by himself?
Chen Lan pursed her lips, intending to take Mo Jiuwei off her body and hand her over to Yi Xingyun.

Among these disciples, Yi Xingyun is undoubtedly the most promising one. Letting him take Mo Jiuwei away might give them a glimmer of hope.

As for herself, she was at the Foundation Establishment stage. Everyone present could retreat, but she could not.

Meng Ling, with a cold expression, drew her sword.

After her spiritual root was damaged, she lived a difficult life. In order to cure her illness and help the Immortal Sect overcome its difficulties, she sold almost everything she could, including her former sword.

The sword I'm using now is like scrap metal, hardly a good weapon, but it's still much better than being empty-handed.

Since there's no point in living anyway, I might as well risk my life to help Senior Brother Yi and Mo Jiuwei leave.

Du Yue and Ji Qingqing also stood silently beside them, straightening their backs without fear.

Yi Xingyun pushed away Chen Lan's attempt to hand Mo Jiuwei over, wanting to step forward himself and let Chen Lan take Mo Jiuwei away.

However, Chen Lan used her spiritual power to hold down his hand and forced him to take it with her eyes.

They didn't exchange any words, but the resoluteness in their eyes and expressions was obvious; each of them had the composure to face death.

The four Foundation Establishment cultivators were taken aback and exchanged glances.

This wasn't the first time the four of them had done something like this; they had witnessed countless tragedies of people scrambling to escape or dragging their companions down with them. But this situation... seemed to be a first.

However, they soon smiled.

If these people wanted to run, it would take them some effort, but the way they're all stepping forward like they're fighting for their lives is quite amusing.

Good, let's finish killing them sooner and leave this place to find the next target!
【What are you all doing standing there like idiots at a time like this!】Mo Jiuwei got anxious when she saw them all like this.

[You're not trying to get Yi Xingyun to help me escape, are you? That's impossible! The difference in cultivation level is too great; how could I possibly escape!]

Mo Jiuwei's words made everyone's hearts ache, and then despair surfaced.

Yes, even if they all step forward, how long can they hold out?
To cut the weeds, you must nip them in the bud. Since these people have taken action, they are unlikely to let anyone escape alive.

Are they destined to die here today?
[I've got an idea!] Mo Jiuwei's eyes lit up and she had a plan.

Her words startled everyone, and they all turned to look at them.

any solution?
Mo Jiuwei was looking in one direction and didn't notice their gazes.

There's a patch of tamarisk there; just add some wildflower extract and it'll turn into a deadly poison. Anyone who steps inside won't last two breaths!

[Within ten steps of the 'Lost Taro' herb, there will be wildflowers. After plucking all the petals, the sap will flow out... Oh, and you have to hold a petal in your mouth, otherwise you'll get poisoned yourself.]
