The Wandering Immortal

Chapter 83 Kill is preferable to humiliation

After walking for about thirty miles, we finally got away from that strangely shaped and precipitous peak that resembled an eagle's beak.

Qinghe asked cautiously, "Does my husband know what kind of monster that Lady Bai is?"

"The woman who called herself Qingxi was an eighth-level Azure Phoenix. The two had similar auras. Madam Bai was probably also an Azure Phoenix, belonging to the Phoenix clan."

"Does the legendary phoenix really exist in this world?"

"Perhaps due to its impure bloodline, the phoenix is ​​rarely seen, but some of its offspring are of mixed colors. Just as a dragon is to a real dragon, a mixed-color blue luan cannot compare to a phoenix."

Jiang Yuan hung the life-saving wooden plaque on his waist and walked for dozens of miles. Occasionally he felt that he was being watched, but he did not see any monsters harassing him. He thought to himself that Madam Bai's status in the Ten Thousand Mountains was indeed extraordinary.

However, contrary to what they had expected, there were no spiritual herbs or medicinal plants to be found within the Ten Thousand Mountains. They dared not venture onto the high peaks, and wandering only in the valleys would likely yield no results.

After leaving the Ten Thousand Mountains for a long time, Jiang Yuan boarded a cloud boat and soared into the sky.

At this moment, the sun was shining brightly and the sky was clear. Looking down at the Ten Thousand Mountains from high above, Jiang Yuan vaguely felt that the mountain range had a certain regularity, as if it had been manipulated by someone.

Who has such a grand scheme, using hundreds of mountains to form an array? Compared to the suppression of the Nascent Soul level dragon in the Junshan Secret Realm, it's not even in the same league. Only a cultivator at the Dao Integration level or above could accomplish this.

Seeing the imposing presence of the Ten Thousand Mountains, Jiang Yuan felt a sense of unease creeping into his mind.

Why are those great demons and gods suppressed in this little broken ball when they make mistakes?
The Five Elements Mountain suppressed the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, Yang Chan is still suppressed on Mount Hua, the Junshan Secret Realm suppressed the Flood Dragon, and Taibai Jinxing imprisoned so many gods and monsters in the Peach Blossom Paradise. Could this little broken ball be a cage?

After taking one last look at the entire Shiwan Mountains, Jiangyuan landed back on the ground and continued slowly toward the northwest.

The best way to travel is to be grounded and practical. If you're just flying around in the clouds, how can you expect to encounter any opportunities?
The journey was still through high mountains and deep valleys, tropical rainforests, and teeming with poisonous insects and ferocious beasts, but the two Golden Core cultivators naturally didn't care about any of that.

Leaving the Ten Thousand Mountains, they actually obtained quite a few medicinal herbs, and they were all quite old. It seems that this is a place that neither demonic beasts nor human cultivators often come to.

Humans and demons would naturally remain wary of each other and refrain from interfering with one another, which is why this intermediate zone was left.

Jiang Yuan and his companion entered the Shiwan Mountains from the sea. After being startled by Madam Bai, they did not head north into the heart of the Shiwan Mountains, but instead detoured northwest.

Having at least secured his life and made some gains, Jiang Yuan boldly continued to circle around the Ten Thousand Mountains, making full use of this buffer zone.

After half a month, they obtained more than a dozen kinds of rare medicinal herbs with medicinal properties that were three to five hundred years old, which can be described as a very fruitful harvest.

The most valuable item is a morphological plant, which is not very old, probably only a few decades old, but Qinghe dug up the whole plant, so it should be able to continue to be cultivated.

Even this one plant can be used to refine a Transformation Pill, which is one of the most precious fifth-grade pills.

Transformation Pills are of extraordinary significance to demon beasts. Demon beasts usually need to cultivate for two to three thousand years to reach the eighth level of transformation. If they consume a Transformation Pill at a lower level, they can obtain a cultivation speed similar to that of humans and may reach the eighth level in two to three hundred years.

Therefore, the Transformation Pill is a coveted treasure for cultivators who raise spirit pets, and naturally, demon clans like Lady Bai of the Ten Thousand Mountains also need it.

Leaving the Ten Thousand Mountains, they entered the Miao territory. Jiang Yuan became wary and didn't want to linger. He boarded a cloud boat and flew into the sky, but he still couldn't avoid trouble.

Four Foundation Establishment sword cultivators blocked the way from the clouds, forming an encirclement.

Qinghe did not use the lotus flying boat, but rode in a cloud boat with Jiangyuan. Jiangyuan did not say anything, which probably meant that he let Qinghe handle it.

Qinghe's divine sense could now extend twenty miles, and there were no other cultivators around, so she asked, "Which sect are you disciples from?"

The leading late-stage Foundation Establishment sword cultivator chuckled, "I haven't even asked you yet, but you're already in a hurry, young lady."

"Slap..." The sword cultivator was slapped from a distance and almost fell off his flying sword. Just as he was about to get angry, he suddenly realized something was wrong. The young woman in front of him was actually a Golden Core cultivator.

Another early Foundation Establishment sword cultivator actually released his flying sword. Qinghe reached out and retrieved the sword, simultaneously releasing four thorns that bound the four men. She then grabbed them from a distance and threw them onto the cloud boat. Three of them were already unconscious, leaving only the late Foundation Establishment sword cultivator who had been slapped still conscious. He also wished he could faint.

"I'll ask you one more time, which sect do you belong to?"

"We are disciples of the Emei Sect."

Why are you blocking our way?

“We must check all cultivators who come out of the Ten Thousand Mountains to prevent demon spies from infiltrating.”

Qinghe was a little surprised, but asked Jiang Yuan, "Does the Emei Sect manage things so far away?"

Jiang Yuan laughed and said, "It's just these few guys who use the name of the Emei Sect to rob people on the road, and the rogue cultivators have no choice but to pay money to avoid disaster."

The Emei sword cultivator lying on the cloud boat couldn't feel his hands and feet at all; only his head was clear. He was terrified and didn't know who he had offended.

Qinghe was getting annoyed and simply asked Jiang Yuan, "To stay or not to stay?"

The swordsman could only move his mouth, shouting, "If you dare kill Emei disciples, you will be hunted down to the ends of the earth!"

Jiang Yuan laughed in anger, "Are you out of your mind? Shouldn't you be begging for mercy now? Why are you getting so fierce?"

"Emei disciples can be killed but not humiliated!"

Qinghe flew into a rage, "I'm determined to humiliate your Emei Sect!"

Two days later, a batch of commemorative stamps circulated widely.

The four Emei sword cultivator disciples all knelt down and begged for mercy, vying to recount how they had robbed rogue cultivators on the outskirts of the Ten Thousand Mountains for many years. They cried and slapped themselves repeatedly.

“I am not human, I am not worthy to be an Emei disciple, I am not worthy to be a cultivator…”

These photos are far more captivating than Cui Qinghe's accusations against Laoshan, featuring multi-angle shots, panoramic views, and close-ups, all with exceptionally high clarity.

This event was even more captivating than the battle between Luofu Mountain and Laoshan Mountain, becoming a popular topic of conversation in various immortal markets.

Cui Qinghe put in a lot of effort to record this batch of image talismans. She sealed the dantian of the four Emei disciples, still bound them with thorns, but detoxified them to keep them conscious, and then used the Jiamu Divine Needle to bombard their spiritual veins.

Let alone the Foundation Establishment stage, even the Golden Core stage cannot withstand that kind of excruciating pain. Coupled with the fear of having their spiritual veins destroyed, they will soon completely collapse.

The first Foundation Establishment cultivator who attacked earlier cried and said he didn't want to come, but was coerced by his senior brother and dared not resist. Cui Qinghe stabbed him a few more times, betraying her fellow disciple, which made her crime even more serious.

A divine needle of Jia wood flows through the meridians, and anyone would have to desperately pull themselves out. If the recording of the image talisman is not done well, it has to be re-recorded, and the longer it is delayed, the more painful it becomes.

Two Golden Core cultivators from the Emei Sect found the four disciples on the edge of the Hundred Thousand Mountains. They were all still alive, but their spiritual veins had been destroyed. They were tied to trees with thorns and a magical barrier was cast over them to prevent them from being eaten by wild animals.

Without a second thought, the Golden Core cultivator from the Emei Sect killed the four people and burned them to ashes.

They naturally tried to track the aura to find out who was so bold as to deliberately humiliate the Emei Sect, but they found nothing.

The two Golden Core cultivators could only report back to their sect. The Emei Nascent Soul Grand Elder cursed, "Useless! Who else could it be but Cui Qinghe?"

Thinking of the fate of Laoshan, the Nascent Soul cultivator felt a chill and urged his disciples to issue a public relations document stating that the Emei Sect had produced several scoundrels who had disgraced the cultivation world, and that they would be strictly disciplined thereafter.

Although there is no evidence, all cultivators in the world know that Cui Qinghe was responsible, and the Emei Sect has also remembered this grudge.
