Starting from the scattered cultivator family, daily intelligence

Chapter 99, Foundation Establishment Demon

"Whoosh~" A gentle breeze blew by, and the atmosphere in the backyard of Lanxing Courtyard was quiet.

Mu Yunsheng bowed and awaited Zhu Daochang's reply, his mind on edge. He was prepared to inform the Lingdan Liu family that Tian Yaozi was still lurking in Qianyuan Prefecture if things didn't go well.

Regardless of the outcome, it will spare the mortals of a city from being slaughtered by the Heavenly Demon Child in his rage.

"Tian Yaozi?" Upon hearing Mu Yunsheng's request, Zhu Daochang first showed some doubt in his eyes, then remembered who Tian Yaozi was and what information he had.

"It's not difficult for me to help you kill Tian Yaozi, but Tian Yaozi has the Foundation Establishment power Chongshui Yuan Palace in Qiandao Lake Prefecture behind him. Although I am not afraid, I cannot protect you for long."

"Do you still want me to help you kill the Heavenly Demon Child and obtain a spiritual place for cultivation?"

Zhu Daochang did not refuse directly, but looked at Mu Yunsheng and asked calmly, his expression remaining calm and unwavering.

This seems to have caused quite a stir in Qian Yuan Prefecture, and Liu Jiangya and his group call him a prodigy, a Heavenly Demon Child with the potential to establish a foundation.

In Zhu Daochang's eyes, they were no different from the three people he had seriously injured with a single glance: Gao Zheyu, Liu Zhijun, and Tai Hongfei.

"Senior Zhu, with Tian Yaozi dead, will the Foundation Establishment cultivators of Chongshui Yuan Palace pursue him to Qianyuan Prefecture?" Mu Yunsheng asked Zhu Daochang with a start.

If we kill Tian Yaozi, it will attract the pursuit of Foundation Establishment cultivators. Then the spiritual lands offered by the seven families will no longer be spiritual lands that can help the family's inheritance and help cultivators cultivate.

It was a cemetery.

“A seed is just a seed after all. It won’t cause too much anger from the planting cultivator if it dies in the soil. It will just be replanted.”

"Given the current tense situation in your Qianyuan Prefecture and Qiandao Lake Prefecture, the Foundation Establishment cultivators of Chongshui Yuan Palace will not rashly enter Qianyuan Prefecture. However, they will likely offer a bounty on the cultivator who killed Tian Yaozi."

"Who knows, the reward for the bounty might be a sacred land."

Zhu Daochang said, a smile appearing on his face as he looked at Mu Yunsheng.

After hearing Zhu Daochang's words, Mu Yunsheng did not immediately reply, but instead pondered in his heart. Although killing Tian Yaozi would most likely not attract the pursuit of Foundation Establishment cultivators from Chongshui Yuan Palace,

However, this does not mean that it is safe. As Zhu Daochang said, Chongshui Yuangong will definitely issue a reward for this.

At that time, they will face countless cultivators who will attack them for the bounty offered by Chongshui Yuan Palace, just like the cultivators like Tian Yaozi who have fled to Qiandao Lake in Qianyuan Prefecture.

If Chongshui Yuan Palace had offered a higher reward, or, as Zhu Daochang suggested, provided a sacred land as the reward, it would have been even better.

Then perhaps some local cultivators in Qianyuan Prefecture will also choose to take action.

"However, there are not many ways in the world to have it all, to gain benefits without taking any risks."

Mu Yunsheng thought to himself, recalling Mu Qinghu's words: they had nothing to begin with, so they could only fight with their lives.

"Please help me, Senior Zhu. If I can obtain Chongshui Yuan Palace, offering a spiritual land as a reward would be an honor for Yun Sheng." Mu Yun Sheng smiled and said to Zhu Dao Chang.

He had already figured it out in his heart: even if Chongshui Yuan Palace offered a bounty after killing Tian Yaozi, there was still a way out. Cultivators from Qiandao Lake Prefecture could not easily enter Qianyuan Prefecture.

Even though the local cultivators of Qianyuan Prefecture were tempted by the bounty offered by Chongshui Yuan Palace, most of them dared not act rashly under the watchful eyes of the seven families.

The more powerful the cultivators and their forces in Qianyuan Prefecture, the less they dared to act rashly.

Therefore, even if Chongshui Yuan Palace issues a bounty that would tempt the cultivators of Qianyuan Prefecture.

Those who attacked Mu Yun Sheng and the Mu family were mostly cultivators from the lower levels of Qian Yuan Prefecture, those with little or no spiritual land, or whose spiritual land was of low quality, and who could easily withdraw.

While the Mu family could hardly resist such a powerful force of cultivators, they were not entirely without any means of retaliation.

"Alright, then let Xiao Li accompany you. It's been wanting to go out and relax lately."

Zhu Daochang nodded and looked at the little fox that was the true form of the Star Moon Spirit Light Weasel.

Mu Yunsheng also looked over. At this moment, the little fox was eating the five-colored flower whose spiritual essence he had separated during his cultivation.

"Me?" The little fox stood up, eating the five-colored flower. Its face was blank, and it pointed at itself with one paw, looking at Zhu Daochang.

Zhu Daochang nodded at it with a smile on his face.

"Thank you for your trouble, Senior Little Fox." Mu Yunsheng said with a smile, bowing to Little Fox.

Seeing that Zhu Daochang had agreed, Xiao Li quickly ate the five-colored flower in her mouth, then looked happily at Mu Yunsheng and coughed as she spoke.

"Cough cough... Actually, I don't really want to go out and play. Besides, I spend a lot of money. I eat at least three, no more than five servings of spiritual food every day. I won't eat anything below grade B quality."

"Yun Sheng, if you agree, I'll go out with you."

"Alright, Senior Little Tanuki!"

Mu Yunsheng looked at the little fox and stretched out its five outstretched claws, then smiled and agreed.

........................

June 18th, in the Louyan Cave area, northwest of Qianyuan Prefecture.

This area is now a no-man's land in Qianyuan Prefecture, with few people, sparse vegetation, and yellow sand obscuring the view.

The geographical environment of Huangyuan Prefecture is no longer much different.

"Senior Little Tanuki, could you please dispel the illusion spell when you're on my shoulder? It looks weird like this."

Two people, or rather one person, walked across the desolate sand dunes, while the other was a small Taoist boy of about seven or eight years old, who sat on the shoulders of the handsome young man who had spoken.

The two of them were Mu Yunsheng, who had been traveling after leaving Lanxing Academy, and Xiao Li, a second-tier low-grade demon beast.

"Idiot! You can't see through illusions because your cultivation is too low, and you're blaming me?" Little Fox scolded Mu Yun Sheng on the shoulder, then sniffed lightly, pointed in a direction, and said, "Over there!"

"Senior Little Fox, you've detected it with your divine sense." Mu Yunsheng was surprised. They had only just entered the Louyan Cave region and were still quite a distance away from the place where Tian Yaozi was hiding, which was manifested by the Haotian Mirror.

"Idiot! It's so far away, how could my divine sense detect it? Not even my master's. I can smell the blood and the aura of spiritual energy fluctuations. A cultivator has died."

Little Fox looked in the direction it pointed and said, appearing as a seven or eight-year-old Taoist boy, and gave Mu Yunsheng a disdainful look.

"Then, Senior Little Fox, shall we head over there now?" A hint of embarrassment appeared in Mu Yunsheng's eyes as he noticed that the direction Little Fox pointed to was the same as the place where Tian Yaozi was hiding, as shown by the Haotian Mirror. He then asked.

"Okay, hurry up and finish what you need to do, Yun Sheng. This place is all yellow sand, it's not fun at all." Xiao Li nodded as she leaned on Mu Yun Sheng's shoulder.

"Yes, Senior Little Fox." Mu Yunsheng took out a low-grade first-level speed talisman, stuck it on his calf, and quickly headed in the direction Little Fox pointed.

"Go!" With a command, a yellow dragon rose from the desolate yellow sand.

The Swiftness Talisman used by Mu Yun Sheng was obtained from Song Yun Jun. During this period, Song Yun Jun had used quite a few of the Swiftness Talismans and Mystic Ice Talismans he had crafted to purchase Grade B B Bitter Spirit Qi-Returning Noodles and Qianqing Cloud-Supporting Noodles.

Therefore, Mu Yun Sheng also carried some with him.

Meanwhile, in the direction Mu Yun Sheng was heading with Xiao Li, in a dark and gloomy cave.

A golden chrysanthemum-lotus, imbued with a subtle spiritual aura, bloomed quietly in the cave, emitting a mesmerizing fragrance. Besides this serene chrysanthemum-lotus, there were four other people in the cave: a young woman dressed scantily, revealing large expanses of snow-white skin, with a seductive face; and three elderly men with white hair and beards.

Such a combination seemed particularly strange in this dark and deserted wilderness cave, but fortunately, one of the three old men was dead and two were seriously injured.

Nothing strange will happen.

Looking at them, one could see that the three old men were all well-known late-stage Qi Refining cultivators in Qian Yuan Prefecture. The one who died was Zhong Changmin, a Dharma Transmission Elder of the Muhou Sect in the Yuqian Mountains, who was at the seventh level of Qi Refining.

The two who were seriously injured were Cen Qingfeng, the previous patriarch of the Cen family and also at the seventh level of Qi Refining, and Xie Guanjing, the sect leader of the Tu Xuan Sect and also at the seventh level of Qi Refining.

"The second-tier, low-grade spiritual herb, the Heavenly Chrysanthemum Lotus, is finally mine! Hahahaha!"

Xie Guanjing looked at the chrysanthemum lotus in the cave, which was emitting a faint spiritual light, and laughed loudly. His eyes contained a trace of unusual blood red. Then he looked at Cen Qingfeng and continued to laugh.

“Cen Qingfeng, you can die now, but don’t worry, I will help you pass on the sacred land of your Cen family and your delicate daughter-in-law.”

"I've noticed your delicate daughter-in-law, Madam Hua, is quite alluring and seductive. I wonder if you've ever tasted her flavor, haha~"

"Xie Guanjing, you'll die a horrible death!" Cen Qingfeng roared, blood seeping from his chest.

"Haha~" Xie Guanjing laughed loudly, looking at the young woman in the cave who was dressed lightly and whose fair skin was exposed, and gave her instructions with a smile.

"Leier, you did a good job. You discovered the traces of the Heavenly Chrysanthemum Lotus and immediately informed your master. Now go and kill Cen Qingfeng. Your master will definitely pass on the Golden Elixir of the Great Dao to you later, haha~"

As Xie Guanjing spoke, his eyes blazed with desire as he looked at the large expanse of snow-white skin revealed by the young woman.

"Yes, Master." The young woman replied in a seductive voice, smiling alluringly as she bowed, revealing another large expanse of snow-white skin. Strangely, however, after she finished bowing...

The young woman did not do as Xie Guanjing had instructed to kill Cen Qingfeng. Instead, she smiled and looked into the depths of the cave, as if waiting for something.

"Clap! Clap! Fantastic! Fantastic!"

"Sect Leader Xie is indeed a lover of flowers, just like me. I also find that Madam Cen from the Cen family still possesses a captivating charm and is quite voluptuous. I find her very attractive."

From the depths of the cave came the sounds of clapping and laughter. A strikingly beautiful young cultivator, whose gender was difficult to discern from his face, walked out while clapping and laughing.

It was Tian Yaozi who infiltrated the Louyan Cave area of ​​Qianyuan Prefecture to temporarily escape the pursuit of the Lingdan Liu family.

"Master!" The young woman rushed over to greet Tian Yaozi as he walked out and knelt at his feet.

“It’s still more endearing to have a flower mark,” Tian Yaozi said, extending his finger to lightly touch the young woman’s forehead. A flash of spiritual light revealed the hidden flower slave mark on her forehead.

"Heavenly Demon Child!"

Xie Guanjing and Cen Qingfeng's expressions changed drastically when they saw Tian Yaozi emerge from the depths of the cave. Their eyes widened in terror and fear, and despite their serious injuries, they forcibly circulated their true energy and fled out of the cave.

"Don't you two think it's a bit too late to leave now?"

Tian Yaozi said with a smile, his hand forming a magic seal.

"Whoosh~ Whoosh~" The second-grade low-level spiritual medicine, the Heavenly Chrysanthemum Lotus, which shone with spiritual energy in the cave, transformed into a green lotus, with green vines growing from the yellow sand of the cave.

Emerald green lotus leaves grow, and beautiful lotus flowers bloom.

In the blink of an eye, the desolate cave was transformed into a sea of ​​blooming green lotus flowers, and Xie Guanjing and Cen Qingfeng, who were trying to escape from the cave, were stopped.

Emerald green vines, growing from the yellow sand, pierced through their bodies, burying them in a sea of ​​blooming emerald green lotus flowers.

"Leier, well done." Tian Yaozi said with a smile to the young woman kneeling at his feet, then walked towards Bi Lian, who had previously transformed into the Heavenly Chrysanthemum Lotus.

He planned to sit cross-legged in the flower seat, absorbing the vital energy and spiritual essence of Xie Guanjing and the other two to heal his injuries.

"Clap! Clap! Brilliant! Brilliant!"

At that moment, applause and laughter, sounding like children, rang out from the entrance of the cave.

"Who?" The enchanting face of the Heavenly Demon was startled, and she quickly looked towards the entrance of the cave.

Mu Yun Sheng carried Xiao Li, who had been transformed into a seven or eight-year-old Taoist boy using illusion magic, into the cave. Xiao Li clapped his hands and laughed.

"Fellow Daoists..." Tian Yaozi looked at Mu Yunsheng and Xiao Li who walked in, her pupils shrinking slightly. After casually glancing at Mu Yunsheng, she looked at Xiao Li, who looked like a seven or eight-year-old Daoist child on his shoulder, and a smile appeared on her enchanting face as she bowed.

"boom……!"

But before he could finish speaking, the vines of the emerald lotus flower sea in the cave suddenly shot out like angry snakes from the flower sea and attacked Mu Yun Sheng Ge Xiao Li.

"Hmph~" Little Tanuki let out a soft snort, and all the green lotus vines that attacked it and Mu Yunsheng from all sides of the cave were pulverized. At the same time, the aura of a second-tier low-grade demon beast was revealed.

"The great demon of foundation building!"

"The Mystic Beast Sect?"

Startled, Tian Yaozi flashed and hurriedly ran into the depths of the cave, not daring to linger for even a moment longer.

"Chirp!" Little Fox let out another soft cry, and a beam of starlight shot out, catching up with the fleeing Heavenly Demon Child and passing through the back of his head.

"Bang!" Tian Yaozi, who was in the late stage of Qi Refining and had the potential to establish a foundation, was completely powerless to resist. A bloody hole broke open in his brain, and he fell to the ground, losing his life.

"Whoosh~ Whoosh~" The sea of ​​emerald lotus flowers in the cave dissipated piece by piece with the life and death of Tian Yaozi. The emerald lotus that had previously transformed into the Heavenly Chrysanthemum Lotus closed its blooming petals and shrank back into the ground.

"Pfft~" The young woman, dressed lightly and kneeling on the ground, still unaware of what was happening, spat out a mouthful of blood, seriously injured.

"Senior Little Fox, did you kill the Heavenly Demon Child?" Mu Yunsheng asked Little Fox after witnessing the scene unfolding in the cave.

"Not yet, he's definitely tough. He can hold his own against me for a couple of moves!"

Xiao Li shook her head on Mu Yun Sheng's shoulder and replied, then looked at the blood-stained yellow sand in the cave and continued with a smile.

"Trying to fool me with this trick? Give me the money!"

"Whoosh~ Whoosh~" In the blood-stained yellow sand, Bi Lian, who had shrunk back in the ground, was forced out. Before she could react, she was completely strangled by the starlight controlled by Xiao Li.

"Ah~" Tian Yaozi's painful scream came from the strangled Bi Lian.

“He’s completely dead this time,” Xiao Li said, then looked at Mu Yun Sheng and said with a smile.

"The spiritual sense of a Foundation Establishment cultivator is more powerful than you can imagine. If you are ever pursued by a Foundation Establishment cultivator in the future, don't even think about abandoning your physical body and soul to escape."

“You Qi Refining stage cultivators have fragile souls that will die upon exposure to sunlight. Foundation Establishment cultivators can easily detect this with their spiritual sense. You might as well preserve your physical body and focus on escaping.”

Upon hearing Xiao Li's words, Mu Yun Sheng was at a loss for words. Could it be that he didn't have any secret method for escaping with his soul at all? Could it be that he would have died the moment he saw a Foundation Establishment cultivator?

Unlike Tian Yaozi, who possessed some ability to escape when encountering Foundation Establishment stage demonic beasts.
