Oh no, I accidentally cultivated three spiritual roots and became an empress!

He didn't even bother to glance at his left hand. He raised his right hand and grabbed at his soul-guiding banner. At the same time, his left hand conjured a soul-searching claw and grabbed at Zhong Lingxin.

The moment the Soul-Guiding Banner came into his hands, Li Xie's eyes turned red with rage.

He has been refining this banner for nearly three thousand years, and there are at least 100,000 fierce spirits of all sizes inside it.

Now, the black aura on Fan's body has completely disappeared, and he has lost at least half of his fierce spirits.

With a sharp shriek, Li Xie gathered the spiritual power in his dantian, raised his hands repeatedly, and used the Soul-Guiding Technique. All the fierce souls, large and small, in the banner shrieked and surged towards Zhong Lingxin and her Soul-Slaying Sword Phoenix Zither.

Li Xie knew in his heart that success or failure depended on this one move.

If this drags on any longer, with the terrain unfavorable to him and his adversaries able to restrain him, the situation will only become more and more unfavorable for him.

He must kill Zhong Lingxin while he still has the courage to fight.

Even if he dies, he'll take someone down with him!

Countless black energies surged towards Zhong Lingxin. Already wearing the Ice Wind Set, she felt as if her entire body had fallen into an ice cave, and her spiritual energy could not circulate smoothly.

The phoenix zither seemed powerless to play; the music was neither coherent nor melodious, and it could only vibrate intermittently.

The Soul-Slaying Sword was in no better shape. Countless vengeful spirits enveloped it, making it impossible to wield. It was as if it were stuck in a swamp, gradually being swept forward by the swamp.

Zhong Lingxin hurriedly flipped her hand and took out an explosive talisman, intending to throw it at Li Xie.

But her hands grew increasingly stiff, and her whole body became numb from the cold. The exploding talisman barely managed to stay a foot away from her before it exploded.

The immense force of the explosion pierced through the surrounding thick darkness, and countless vengeful spirits perished in the blast, screaming in agony.

Zhong Lingxin was also thrown into the air by the enormous force of the explosion, tumbling and flying hundreds of feet away, almost falling into a molten lava field that was smoking.

Fortunately, her robes were of good quality and her body was tough enough. Although she was dazed and confused by the explosion, she remained conscious. At the critical moment, she exerted all her strength to rush forward with the force of the explosion and barely managed to fall onto a scorched earth.

The Phoenix Harp and the Soul-Slaying Sword were also overturned by the force of the explosion and were blasted far away, so far that Zhong Lingxin almost lost control of them.

Zhong Lingxin heard the Phoenix Harp and the Soul-Slaying Sword tremble in her mind, which frightened her so much that she retrieved the two treasures as she landed.

As soon as the Phoenix Harp and the Soul-Slaying Sword entered Zhong Lingxin's dantian, they both sank heavily and became completely still.

Zhong Lingxin was terrified; she hoped that the Phoenix Harp and the Soul-Slaying Sword wouldn't be blown up and cause any harm.

But right now, the more important thing is to deal with evil cultivators and wicked forces.

Li Xie had gathered all his fierce spirits to deal with Zhong Lingxin.

When Zhong Lingxin's explosive talisman exploded, his soul-guiding banner was extremely close. Not only were most of the vengeful spirits inside the banner killed, but the soul-guiding banner itself was also blasted open with countless cracks, and three of the nine skulls were blown away.

Not only was Li Xie's natal magic weapon damaged, but also because only one-tenth of the collected fierce souls remained, his entire body seemed to explode, and the black aura around his body dissipated uncontrollably.

Li Xie went berserk, screaming and grabbing wildly with his arms: "No, no, no, come back, all of you come back, we can't scatter, we can't scatter!"

However, as the black mist dissipated, the surrounding temperature rose again, further accelerating its dissipation.

Li Xie, who was already old, looked even older. His white hair flew wildly and was quickly turned to ashes by the high temperature. With his movements, it all scattered into the air.

Zhong Lingxin suddenly sprang to her feet and unleashed another powerful punch, smashing Li Xie's head in two, sending red and white fragments flying everywhere.

Zhong Lingxin, with her sharp eyes, noticed a golden object floating out from between the red and white objects.

She didn't know what the golden thing was, but adhering to the principle of not missing out on good things, she took out a jade box and put it inside. She then collected the magical treasures and storage rings from Li Xie's body, and kicked his corpse into the lava.

Then, her legs went weak from exhaustion, and she collapsed to the ground.

As soon as her bottom touched the ground, she sprang up as if she had been electrocuted.

The ground was too hot; I wonder if it burned her bottom.

Thinking that Uncle Xuan Yuan might be watching, she stubbornly refrained from rubbing her buttocks, and only circulated her spiritual energy twice to alleviate the pain.

Sigh, she's almost twenty, a grown woman, it's indecent for her to rub her buttocks in front of a man.

She looked up and around, but there wasn't a soul in sight.

Alright, that was a good fight. Uncle Xuan Yuan (Zhong Lingxin was unaware that her master had arrived) used his aura effectively, causing all the surrounding cultivators to flee.

All the flints were hers.

After resting for a while and circulating her spiritual energy twice in her meridians and dantian, Zhong Lingxin hurriedly checked the Phoenix Harp and the Soul-Slaying Sword in her dantian.

Fortunately, her two companions were only blown away, and their connection with her was a little weak, but they weren't seriously injured and would probably recover in a few days. Taking advantage of the fact that all the cultivators had run away, Zhong Lingxin quickly rushed to a place where there had been excavation and examined the spiritual energy fluctuations inside.

Sure enough, the other cultivators were all formidable; they had all detected the fluctuations in spiritual energy before they began mining.

Zhong Lingxin took out the Fire Jade Hoe and continued digging in the fire pit that others had already dug.

Perhaps she was lucky; in ten days, she dug up dozens of boxes of flint.

Just as she put away the Fire Jade Hoe, two cultivators finally entered.

A cultivator greeted Zhong Lingxin with a smile: "How long have you been here, fellow cultivator? I haven't seen anyone along the way. What happened?"

Zhong Lingxin shook her head: "I don't know, I'm also a little nervous, I just got here not long ago."

The two men glanced at the signs of mining not far ahead and smiled, "Is that so? Then we won't disturb you any longer, fellow Daoist."

Zhong Lingxin smiled and said, "Then I won't bother you any longer, fellow Daoist."

After saying that, she left quickly.

It turned out that the oppressive aura of the Venerable Qingyang had forced all the cultivators to flee.

Later, as people went further in, there were fewer and fewer people, and they were too scared to go in.

Only these two dared to venture here.

In Zhong Lingxin's mind, Huanhuan and Lele were walking towards her.

It turned out that Lele had finally caught enough of the strange fire he needed and rushed out to meet Zhong Lingxin.

As soon as the two friends came out, they heard someone say that a female body cultivator was fighting a malevolent cultivator, and they were scared away by the pressure of a powerful being.

Huanhuan immediately thought of Zhong Lingxin and looked up at Uncle Xuanyuan.

Uncle Xuan Yuan simply smiled faintly, neither saying yes nor no.

Reassured, Huanhuan and Lele, adhering to the principle of never missing an opportunity, slowly approached Zhong Lingxin while collecting spiritual herbs and minerals from the fire vein.

Xin Xin taught them that wasting money is a shameful crime.

Although Uncle Xuanyuan had put the eight cloud deer into the spirit beast ring, the temperature at the center of the fire vein was too high, and they were still listless and unwilling to come out.

They have really suffered a lot these days.

When we get back, we must tell Xin Xin to refine more pills to nourish them.
