Transmigration begins with archery training

"Fellow Daoist Duan?"

Chen Sanshi reminded them, "We should go, otherwise more and more people will surround us."

"The people aren't all saved yet!"

Duan Silu spoke with his usual eccentric manner: "I just captured some prisoners and learned that there are still several hundred boys and girls being held captive under a brothel in Ronghua City. We plan to go and rescue them."

This auction only showcased a portion of the "furnaces and tripods"; the vast majority were auctioned by number and did not appear in person.

Chen Sanshi pondered, "Things have already blown up; it might not be wise to go now."

"No! Quite the opposite!"

Duan Silu said seriously, "I estimate that right now, everyone in the city is rushing this way. If we go back now, it will be easy to sneak into the city without any trouble."

"I know this."

Chen Sanshi warned, "But Ronghua City has a protective formation. Even if you find those people, it will be difficult to bring them out."

"No need to bring it out!"

Duan Silu explained, "I estimate that this was done by that old man Jiang Shang in collusion with the Demonic Sect. In the end, it's something that can't be brought to light."

"Moreover, there are a large number of them. As long as we can bring them out of the brothel, it will definitely attract the attention of the Shengyun Sect."

"Although these sects are not good, they at least call themselves 'orthodox sects' and have a basic bottom line. They won't just let things go unchecked."

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, you may leave first. The three of us are enough to handle this matter!"

As they spoke, the three of them changed direction on their flying swords.

"what about you?"

Chen Sanshi looked at the three of them, knowing that the rescued boy and girl might be unharmed, but they would never be able to escape again: "What if they never come back?"

"It will never come back!"

Duan Silu and his two companions flew straight towards Ronghua City without looking back, constantly using hand seals to accelerate, and soon disappeared from sight.

"..."

Chen Sanshi watched their retreating figures, hesitant to speak, and couldn't help but recall Sima Yao's assessment of these people: madmen.

"It is indeed a bit crazy."

He never imagined that there would be people in Tianshui Island willing to risk their lives to save the lives of complete strangers. He asked himself honestly, he couldn't do it.

This is different from when he left Poyang and crossed Hongze to the west. At that time, there was still a glimmer of hope, and the villagers followed him all the way, facing the desperate situation together. Now, the "furnace" he encountered was innocent, but if it were him, he would only do his best and would not risk his life to save it.

"Wish them good luck."

Chen Sanshi muttered to himself, then had Xiao Zhuzi carry Wu Wei of the Demon Suppression Division, and the two of them strode away.

After flying more than ten miles away.

Chen Sanshi wakes up the Demon-Suppressing Guard who has lost both arms on the flying boat.

"magician!"

A searing pain shot through Wu Wei's arm, and he roared ferociously, "How dare you! I am the Silver-Rank Commander of the Demon Suppression Division, and a trusted confidant of the Eighth Prince! You dare to arrest me? The Song Dynasty court will not let you get away with this, the Shangzong will not let you get away with this... Ah!!!"

Before he could finish speaking, Dongfang Jingxing used a throwing knife to cut a piece of flesh off his body, and a sinister voice entered his ear: "From now on, answer whatever I ask you."

"Eunuch, I... ah!"

Scraping off several pieces of flesh in succession is a form of slow slicing, where even though the bones are visible, the person cannot die and can only endure endless torment.

"This Lingchi technique originally consists of 360 cuts. Since you are a martial artist with a strong physique, you should be able to withstand more cuts."

Dongfang Jingxing said coldly, "Our technique is quite good. I guarantee you won't pass out and you can enjoy it to the fullest."

"Hahahaha, you crippled mortal, you're not even as good as a mortal slave, whatever you want..."

Wu Wei suddenly felt a chill run down his spine: "What are you doing? No, no, I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything!"

Dongfang Jingxing then slowly sheathed his sword and began to question him carefully.

Chen Sanshi stood with his sword in hand, alert to the movements around him. He vaguely sensed something approaching, but his initial Foundation Establishment level divine sense was not enough to pinpoint it accurately, so he frowned slightly.

"We're asking you."

Dongfang Jingxing asked directly, "What's in the Bai family's Medicine Valley? What are you plotting with the Demonic Sect? Is it related to the Medicine Valley?"

"Medicine, Medicine Valley..."

Wu Wei hesitated, only uttering a single word when the other's knife was close enough: "There's that in Medicine Valley, that..."

"Om-"

A buzzing sound suddenly rang in the ears of the three of them.

It was only then that Chen Sanshi suddenly noticed a black dot on the edge of their flying boat. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was a cicada.

Its jet-black body surface has strange patterns, and its vibrating cicada wings contain spiritual power. It spits out a silver needle-like spike from its mouth and crashes straight forward.

The cicada was not fast, and the water flow from Chen Sanshi's longsword accurately struck the cicada, splitting it in two.

However, just as the sword pierced the outer shell, an extremely dense black light burst forth from the inside of the cicada.

"not good!"

Chen Sanshi's heart sank. He pulled the small bamboo behind him with one hand and simultaneously cast a spell, summoning a thick earth shield in front of him.

At the same time, a terrifying aura, disproportionate to its tiny body, erupted from the cicada and exploded outwards.

"boom--"

Even with the thick earthen shield blocking his way, Chen Sanshi was still thrown back dozens of feet in mid-air before finally regaining his balance.

But Wu Wei was not so lucky. He and the airship were reduced to fragments in the explosion, falling to the ground in scattered pieces, with no chance of survival.

This black cicada could even explode, releasing power no weaker than the full-force attack of any mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Kill and silence!

The sound of cicada wings vibrating came again, and swarms of black cicadas appeared all around them, probably dozens of them. If they were to explode together, they would surely unleash terrifying power!

Chen Sanshi flicked his finger, throwing out a golden-scaled flying blade that detonated one of the black cicadas from a distance. However, these Gu worms were intelligent and did not fly in dense formation, so they did not affect the rest of the black cicadas.

One by one, the black cicadas hovered with their wings flapping as they approached a certain range. A spiritual light emanated from the cracks on their bodies, and after accumulating to the limit, it triggered an explosion of malevolent energy.

"Boom boom boom!"

When the Thick Earth Technique reached its limit, it transformed into a ball of earth carrying malevolent energy and smashed forward, crushing a black cicada blocking its path. Chen Sanshi and his companion were then able to "break through the encirclement" and disappear into the vast clouds.

The black cicadas chased after them, but only a few could keep up; the rest were quickly left behind and disappeared from sight.

'These Gu worms are incredibly powerful!'
