Chapter 80: Fairy, Please Behave Yourself!

Lu Changsheng, using a flying talisman, flew with all his might to a cliff cave several miles away.He used a purification talisman to thoroughly check his body for any hidden dangers. After confirming there were no issues, he began to sort through the loot in the two storage bags. Inside, there were a total of 362 spirit stones. Three low-grade magical items and one medium-grade magical item. Several pills. Several spiritual herbs. Several talismans. A pile of miscellaneous items. Lu Changsheng estimated that these things amounted to six or seven hundred spirit stones. Adding to that the magical robes, boots, flying sword, shield, curved blade, and flying talisman he had just obtained, it easily surpassed a thousand spirit stones. It could be considered a huge fortune. A hint of joy appeared on his face. This wave of gains was much higher than his previous gains at Niutou Mountain. It could only be said that there was a difference in robbing cultivators. Being a robber cultivator in a place like Jiulong Market was much more lucrative than in the mundane Niutou Mountain. Of course, the risks were also much greater. Lu Changsheng took out a high-grade purification talisman and thoroughly checked all these things to see if there were any issues. Sure enough, under the purification talisman, three items had hidden marks. After destroying and discarding these suspicious items along with some unknown ones, Lu Changsheng continued on his way, finding a new location. Thinking that relying solely on his own abilities might leave traces and consume too much spiritual power and physical strength, Lu Changsheng directly used a Hundred-Mile Invisibility Talisman. Immediately, his body was enveloped in spiritual light, sinking into the ground as if merging with the earth, and he shot out at a single thought. Within the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, Lu Changsheng appeared tens of miles away. “Phew!” As Lu Changsheng emerged from underground, he took a breath of air. Immediately, he smelled a foul odor. “Gurgle!” Turning his head, he saw not far away a black wild boar, two to three meters tall and five to six meters long, with fur like pine needles, staring at him. Its mouth and nose emitted white smoke, and its sharp fangs were fierce. “Demonic beast!” Seeing this large wild boar, Lu Changsheng’s heart skipped a beat. He knew this was not an ordinary beast but a demonic beast. “Gurgle!” Before he could observe further, the boar growled lowly and charged straight at him, its two tusks gleaming with a faint black light. In response, Lu Changsheng quickly took out a low-grade talisman. The talisman burst out with light and turned into a curtain of water and light, protecting his whole body.  Then vines and traps appeared one after another, trapping the wild boar. One by one, fireballs, wind blades, and sharp arrows bombarded the boar. “Boom! Roar!” Under the bombardment of about ten or twenty talismans, the wild boar let out a wailing sound before it even got close to Lu Changsheng. Its body was charred with blood gushing out, before finally collapsing to the ground. “This should only be a first-level of an early-stage demonic beast. I might be able to kill it with my flying sword.” “This was really a waste.” Lu Changsheng shook his head slightly as he looked at the fallen boar. Just one of these talismans would cost tens to nearly a hundred spirit stones. And selling this kind of demonic beast would probably only fetch a hundred or so spirit stones. Moreover, the boar, bombarded with talismans like this, suffered severe damage to its flesh and skin, so it would sell for much less. “Forget it, there’s no need to be stingy with such small things.” “After all, there’s only one life. I’d rather waste resources than make any mistakes!” With a self-consoling remark, Lu Changsheng didn’t feel too distressed. He took out his flying sword, slightly dissected the large wild boar, and stored it in his storage bag. Meat from demonic beasts like this also had an expiration date when stored in the storage bag. It will probably go bad in seven or eight days. But when he returned to Qingzhu Mountain this time, besides eating it himself, he could also use it to feed the Nine Netherworld Hound. In the past two years, he had mostly fed the Nine Netherworld Hound with regular raw meat, only occasionally treating it to some demonic beast meat. There was no other way; feeding demonic beast meat every day was simply unsustainable. If it weren’t for the fear of accidents, he would have considered finding a mountain range and directly releasing the Nine Netherworld Hound to fend for itself. He would wait for the Nine Netherworld Hound to become a demon king through its own battles and efforts and then come back to take him. After clearing the traces around him, Lu Changsheng began to look for a place to stay overnight. He planned to rest for a day and then leave when the steel-feathered eagle recovered. During this process, to avoid encountering other demonic beasts, Lu Changsheng was extremely cautious. Finally, in a cave, he encountered a tiger demonic beast. Without hesitation, Lu Changsheng took out a talisman and directly killed the first-level early-stage tiger demon and then walked into the cave. He planned to spend the night here. “Just spending a night, nothing should happen, right?” Lu Changsheng was lying on the tiger skin blanket, feeling a little tired.  Although the talismans didn’t consume much, using so many of them still drained his mental energy. Taking out the White Jade Hundred Flowers Wine and taking a few sips, Lu Changsheng took out a spirit stone and began to meditate and cultivate. Night fell gradually. In the wilderness, the woods were filled with the roars and howls of wild beasts, making it eerie. At this moment, on a mountain peak tens of miles away. “Squawk!” A large eagle with pitch-black feathers and wings spread several zhang descended.  Standing on the back of the black eagle was a burly middle-aged man. Dressed in a black robe, he seemed to blend with the night. He leaped down from the eagle’s back and his eyes began shining faintly in the darkness as he began to survey the surroundings. After checking the surroundings, Zhou Kuanglong murmured: “It seems that I have been tricked. A mere young man at the fourth level of Qi Refining actually has such strength and means?”  Then, with a light step, he agilely leaped back onto the eagle’s back. Immediately, the black eagle soared into the night sky. Before flying far, suddenly, there was a violent surge of light in the distance. This light was so bright that it looked like the sun was rising in the night sky, making people afraid to look directly at it.  “What is this!?” Zhou Kuanglong on the black eagle looked towards the source of the light. But even with his cultivation at the peak of Qi refining, he couldn’t see clearly at all.  As the light dimmed slightly, a scene of colorful clouds and black-red tornadoes colliding together emerged, accompanied by thunderous roars. Boom! Boom! Boom! Two streams of light moved through the air, continuously colliding and sweeping, causing astonishing waves. The aftermath fell on the surrounding mountains, causing the mountain range to tremble and collapse continuously. The fierce birds and beasts in the forest were all frightened and scattered. “This is… Nascent Soul cultivators battling!” Zhou Kuanglong finally saw clearly. In the midst of the colorful clouds and black-red tornadoes, he could vaguely see a woman in colorful clothes and an old man in a red robe. The two continued to fight, illuminating the night sky, with clouds rolling and billowing. “Escape, we need to get out of here quickly!” Seeing two Nascent Soul cultivators moving towards their direction, he immediately urged his black-winged eagle to leave quickly. However, at this moment, the black eagle under his feet, under the tremendous pressure in the distance, began to emit fearful screams. “Damn it, I have raised you for so long in vain. You are not reliable at all at the critical moment.”  Seeing his pet mount trembling, Zhou Kuanglong couldn’t help but curse. But he also knew that his black-winged eagle, although having a high-grade bloodline, was only at the late first stage. Facing the terrifying aura of Nascent Soul cultivators, one would be instinctively afraid.  Not to mention the pet, he himself was also panicking. After all, this was a battle between Nascent Soul cultivators. If even a little bit of the aftermath touched him, he would either die or be severely injured. Immediately, he instructed the black-winged eagle to land directly and prepared to find a place to hide. Otherwise, being airborne was too conspicuous. He might be spotted by the Nascent Soul cultivator battling in the sky and be killed on a whim. In the night sky, the woman in colorful clothes wielded a long sword, and wherever the sword light passed, sand and stones flew, stirring countless waves. “Hehehe, Yun Wanshang, you can’t escape. You’ve already fallen into my Red Pheonix Fire. You better surrender obediently!” However, the old man in the red robe was shrouded in black and red mist, gradually turning pink, so that when the sword light fell on him, it pierced through him directly without any effect. “Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—” The pink mist around the old man billowed and rolled, causing strong winds to blow and spiritual energy to surge around him. Within the mist, voices like those of men, women, old, and young constantly sounded, impacting people’s minds and stirring up desires that couldn’t be restrained. “So this is a Nascent Soul cultivator, truly terrifying!” Zhou Kuanglong had just landed when a wave of aftermath struck beside him. The terrifying force shook his blood and energy, and where the aftermath landed, a large pit several zhang deep appeared directly on the ground. Not only did he have peak Qi Refining cultivation, but he also cultivated his body. Yet, even with just a little aftermath, it made him feel a dangerous aura. He ran swiftly towards another direction, keeping an eye on the aftermath in the sky to avoid being hit by it. If he were to die here like this, it would be truly unjust and frustrating. After running for a long time, he saw in the night sky the woman in colorful clothes wielding a long sword, with an ancient mirror floating above her head. The golden light from the ancient mirror flowed, shining like the sun in the night sky, suddenly shining towards the old man in the red robe. Then, following a slash of the long sword, a bright and dazzling golden divine thunder appeared in the night sky. “Ah—” “Yun Wanshang, you’ve actually mastered the Divine Sword Thunder Control Technique!” Facing the golden divine thunder, the old man in the red robe let out a piercing roar, and blood spurted from his mouth. “Yun Wanshang, the Divine Sword Thunder Control Technique… Could this woman in colorful clothes be the Master Caiyun of the Blue Cloud Sect!?” “Who is this old man in a red robe? How dare he attack Master Caiyun in the territory of  the Blue Cloud Sect!?” Zhou Kuanglong in the forest was startled to hear the roar of the old man in the sky. But the next moment, he saw the man in the red robe summoning a small cauldron, from which red flames filled the air, burning the sky and causing a rain of fire to fall from the sky. Zhou Kuanglong was immediately shocked. He immediately took out a hammer-shaped magic weapon, smashed a cave into the nearby mountain wall, and hid himself in it.  At the same time, he brought out an umbrella-shaped magical tool to block the entrance of the cave, so as not to be hit by the fire rain. “It’s truly a battle of gods, with mortals suffering. I, Zhou Kuanglong, am considered someone of importance, having seen all sorts of scenes. But in front of this Nascent Soul cultivator, I am nothing but an ant.” Zhou Kuanglong gasped for breath heavily inside the cave. Then, there was a shaking of the earth outside the cave. After a long time, he felt that the commotion outside had subsided. Just as he was considering whether to come out, he heard voices outside. “Yun Wanshang, you are now being burned by the Red Pheonix Fire. If you don’t unite with me, you will undoubtedly die!” “As long as you are willing to unite with me, use the Phoenix Marrow in your body to heal my injuries and assist me in cultivation, I, Hu Yanxiao, am willing to make a great vow of allegiance to you from now on!” A weak and hoarse voice sounded. “Hu Yanxiao, the old demon of the Red Pheonix Cult!?” Zhou Kuanglong heard the conversation outside and immediately understood the identity of the man in the red robe. He was also a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Jiang Country. Born into the Rouge Cultivation, but due to his overly domineering actions and lack of taboos, he was also known as the Old Demon of the Red Pheonix. He hadn’t expected that this Old Demon of the Red Pheonix would dare to attack a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Blue Cloud Sect and even want the latter to unite with him in cultivation. “Cough, cough. You can forget about it!” A crisp and cold voice rang out. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ ɴøᴠel Fɪre.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality. “If you don’t do this, the fire of karma is like a tide. Once it erupts, both of us will die here today.” “In the Red Pheonix Scripture that I cultivate, there is a secret technique of dual cultivation. As long as you are willing to become my Dao companion, there may be hope for both of us to reach Nascent Soul in the future!” The voice of the Old Demon of the Red Pheonix was weak as he continued speaking. “I would rather die than… you don’t even think about it.” Yun Wanshang’s voice was cold, but it sounded a bit urgent and breathless. “Now that you have been burned by the Red Pheonix Fire, let’s see how long you can hold out, cough, cough, cough!” The voice of the Old Demon of the Red Pheonix was weak and gloomy. “You… you still don’t come out.” At this moment, Yun Wanshang’s voice became louder and more urgent, also carrying a touch of allure. Zhou Kuanglong inside the cave knew that the Fairy Caiyun was referring to him. Although he had peak Qi Refining cultivation, how could he hide from this Nascent Soul cultivator? “Is there anyone else? Cough, cough.” The voice of the Old Demon of the Red Pheonix became colder. Zhou Kuanglong walked out of the cave and immediately saw a woman lying on the ground in front of him, dressed in a flowing colorful dress.  The woman appeared to be in her mid-twenties, with her delicate hair lightly pinned up with a lapis lazuli hairpin. Her stunningly beautiful face was adorned with peach blossoms, her slightly hazy eyes were mesmerizing, and her lips were slightly parted, as if breathing lightly. Although he had only heard of her reputation and had never seen her before, he knew that this extraordinary woman was none other than Yun Wanshang, the Fairy Caiyun of the Blue Cloud Sect. And not far away, there lay a rugged-faced man in a red robe. He must be the Old Demon of the Red Pheonix. This old demon looked extremely miserable at the moment. Not only was he coughing up blood, but there was also a huge sword wound in his chest, faintly revealing golden sword energy raging inside him, causing his aura to be chaotic as he struggled painfully. “I am an elder of the Blue Cloud Sect, Yun Wanshang. This person is the Old Demon of the Red Pheonix. As long as you help me get rid of him, the Blue Cloud Sect will definitely reward you greatly, cough, cough, cough~” Yun Wanshang spoke to Zhou Kuanglong, but now she looked extremely weak, and even speaking was very difficult. “Young man, don’t listen to her. What benefits can the Blue Cloud Sect give you?” “I see that you are just one step away from Foundation Establishment, right? All you need to do is bring her to me, help me heal, and afterward, I will take you as my disciple and assist you in Foundation Establishment. Even Nascent Soul cultivation is not impossible!” Seeing this, the Old Demon of the Red Pheonix quickly spoke. When Zhou Kuanglong heard the words of the two, his footsteps paused, he glanced at Yun Wanshang, and then at the Old Demon of the Red Pheonix. “Young man, rest assured, I am willing to make a heart demon oath. As long as you are willing to lend me a hand, even if I cannot guarantee that you will reach the true Nascent Soul stage, I will ensure that you form a false Nascent Soul!” The Old Demon of the Red Pheonix struck while the iron was hot. “Elder, please swear on this!” Hearing this, Zhou Kuanglong trembled all over and said. He embarked on the path of a rogue cultivator in order to strive for Foundation Establishment and become a great cultivator of Foundation Establishment. As for Nascent Soul, that was a level he didn’t even dare to think about. At this moment, hearing the promise of a false Nascent Soul from the Old Demon of the Red Pheonix, he was immediately extremely tempted. After all, the Blue Cloud Sect was completely out of his consideration. If the Blue Cloud Sect found out about what he had done, even if they forgave him, he wouldn’t gain anything. “Ah, ah, ah, how… could you believe the words of such a demon, ah, ah, ah.” Yun Wanshang looked at Zhou Kuanglong, who was leaning toward the Old Demon of the Red Pheonix, with a hint of panic in her hazy beautiful eyes, gasping for breath as she spoke. “I, Hu Yanxiao, have never made a vow in my life. If you don’t believe it, cough, cough, cough, I can swear now. I, Hu Yanxiao, swear, today.” The Old Demon of the Red Pheonix lay on the ground, unable to move, but he forcibly raised his palm and began to swear. For cultivators, heart demon vows like this had more constraints the higher their cultivation level. Seeing the latter swear, Zhou Kuanglong immediately knelt down to the old man and said, “Disciple Zhou Kuanglong pays respects to Master!” “Cough, cough, cough, good, good, good disciple.” “Quickly bring your Master’s wife over here. She is currently wrapped in my Red Pheonix Fire, like a raging sea. As long as I ignite her with my mana, it will immediately erupt.” The Old Demon of the Red Pheonix said with a grimace. “Yes, Master!” Zhou Kuanglong slightly bowed and walked toward Yun Wanshang. Seeing Zhou Kuanglong approaching, Yun Wanshang’s eyes also showed a hint of determination. Her cultivation technique and physique were special. If given time to recuperate, she could still suppress the Red Pheonix Fire. But she didn’t expect that there would be a cultivator nearby who chose to help the Old Demon of the Red Pheonix. She could only sigh at the whims of fate. Immediately, she tapped her storage pouch, and a fist-sized purple bead appeared. “Huff, huff, huff!” The bead burst with light, filled with celestial thunder and earthly fire, directly incinerating Zhou Kuanglong and the Old Demon of the Red Pheonix to ashes. At that moment, Yun Wanshang’s last trace of clarity vanished, and her body rapidly heated up, her skin turning ashen at a visible rate. Just then, as if instinctively sensing something, she turned into a rainbow and shot out. Meanwhile, not far away, inside a cave. “Damn it, it finally stopped. That power just now, what kind of battle was that? It was too incredible!” Lu Changsheng, seeing that there was no more commotion outside, let out a long sigh, finally relieved. Anyone would be startled by a sudden fight in the middle of the night that caused earthquakes and landslides. “Sigh, tomorrow morning, as soon as the steel-feathered eagle recovers, I’ll head back early. I should try not to wander around too much in the future, I will just let Miaoyun and the others handle Jiulong Market.” “Otherwise, constantly running around like this, I might run into danger.” Lu Changsheng thought to himself, feeling that it would be best not to leave home if possible. The outside world was just too dangerous. But just then, a sudden fragrance wafted in. To his surprise, a stunningly beautiful woman in colorful robes appeared before him out of nowhere. “Huh!?” Lu Changsheng was startled to see this sudden appearance of the beautiful woman. Lu Changsheng was caught off guard by how the woman appeared. The woman was indeed Yun Wanshang. Her face was now flushed, her eyes charming like autumn water, full of desire as she pounced on Lu Changsheng. Lu Changsheng found himself pinned down by the woman and was unable to move. He struggled several times, but to no avail.  He could clearly feel the heat emanating from her body, as if there was a raging fire burning within her.  He knew that in this situation, either she was poisoned or had fallen into a demonic state. “Miss, please control yourself,”  Lu Changsheng called out twice, but the woman, in her delirium, didn’t respond to his pleas.  Instead, she pressed him down, and her rosy lips moved in to kiss him. In such a situation, who could resist? Looking at the breathtakingly beautiful face of the woman, her mature and soft body pressing against him, and the intoxicating fragrance enveloping him, Lu Changsheng let out a faint sigh. Since he couldn’t resist, he decided to simply enjoy it. He lay flat on his back, completely surrendering to the situation. Then, there was a sudden commotion in the cave, lasting for a moment before a robe was thrown at the entrance. After a while, several pieces of clothing were thrown out, including the woman’s intimate garments.
