Chapter 33 The Tragic Scene at Qingxin Peak
Chapter 33 The Tragic Scene at Qingxin Peak
At the summit of Qingxin Peak, a blood mist filled the sky.
The white jade square, once a place where the main lineage of the Qin family practiced martial arts and cultivated Taoism, has now become a living hell.
Corpses littered the fields, and blood flowed like rivers.
Ren Ziyu stood quietly to one side, his black Taoist robe motionless in the wind, spotless.
He watched coldly as Qin Ruoxi raised her sword and brought it down. With a flash of cold light, another member of his clansman was transformed into nourishment for the crimson array.
"Qin Ruoxi! You'll die a horrible death!"
"Fratricide among kin is an act against Heaven!"
The curses continued unabated, but they did not shake Qin Ruoxi's expression in the slightest.
Each life that perishes transforms into a streak of crimson light, which is then swallowed by the crimson array above.
The strands of pure life force, refined by the great formation, transformed into a babbling stream and flowed into the body of Qin Baisheng, who was being suppressed nearby.
The once powerful Qin clan patriarch was furious, but being suppressed by Ren Ziyu, he could only helplessly watch all of this unfold.
"You beasts! You animals!"
Qin Ruoxi remained expressionless in the face of the insults.
Her senior brother, Chu Tianyang, kicked Qin Baisheng and sneered:
"Old man, it is an honor for your Qin clan to become the medicinal ingredient for the Heaven-Mending Pill."
Qin Baisheng laughed in extreme anger, his laughter filled with desolation.
He finally realized that the so-called longevity elixir was a complete scam from beginning to end.
What I received back then wasn't a recipe for a longevity pill, but rather a recipe for a life-replenishing pill.
The Replenishing Source Pill is a prerequisite for refining the Heaven-Mending Pill, and having taken the Replenishing Source Pill, he has already become the perfect medicinal guide for refining the Heaven-Mending Pill.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
A mournful laugh echoed across the mountaintop as he desperately channeled the remaining magical power within his body.
Ren Ziyu's magic suppressed him firmly in place, and at this moment, he couldn't even self-destruct.
In the shadows, Qin Xiyue held her breath, her brows furrowed as she watched the scene unfold before her.
That cultivator in black robes was a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Chu Tianyang, standing to the side, was a cultivator in the mid-stage of Qi Refining, and judging from his aura, he should be at the fourth level of Qi Refining.
This is a bit tricky...
Without those Purple Mansion True Persons present, she could indeed use the formation to steal the sky and change the sun, but...
There was a Foundation Establishment cultivator present, which was something she hadn't expected at all.
After all, in her previous life, she didn't have the chance to go up Qingxin Peak and meet Ren Ziyu.
"I miscalculated."
If someone tries to use the formation to seize the pill, they will likely be killed on the spot before they even have a chance to escape.
Having reached the Foundation Establishment stage in her previous life, she was well aware of the methods employed by Foundation Establishment cultivators.
Qin Xiyue looked regretful. "Never mind... staying alive is the most important thing."
She slowly retreated towards the edge.
Qin Ruoxi slaughtered all the main lineage cultivators in the arena, leaving only Qin Baisheng, whose eyes were lifeless, kneeling to the side.
With the bloodline essence collected, the great array above their heads began to operate frantically.
At that moment, a sudden change occurred.
boom!!!
The entire Qingxin Peak suddenly trembled, and the outermost illusion array shattered inch by inch like glass.
A figure as black as ink stood in mid-air and rushed into Qingxin Peak, its aura belonging to a Foundation Establishment cultivator descending with a thunderous roar.
Qin Xiyue was startled. 'What kind of unexpected turn of events is this now?'
Ren Ziyu's expression changed drastically. He looked at the newcomer with a solemn expression and asked, "Who are you, and why have you come to ruin my Qingchi plan?"
The black-robed cultivator grinned, revealing his gleaming white teeth: "We're looking for your Qingchi Sect."
Ren Ziyu had a bad feeling; things were developing in a way that was beyond her expectations.
"Has the Purple Mansion of the Six Gates learned of the plan?"
Ren Ziyu did not hesitate and made a decisive move.
The black Taoist robe fluttered without wind, and a condensed cyan palm print shot out from the air.
The black-robed cultivator neither dodged nor avoided the attack; instead, a white bone banner flew out from his sleeve.
Amidst the wailing and howling of ghosts, countless vengeful spirits surged forth and collided with the palm print.
Bang! ! !
The two forces collided violently, producing a dull bang, and the shockwaves spread out like ripples.
The location where Qin Xiyue was hiding happened to be right on the edge of the aftershocks.
In order to avoid being directly injured by this power, she had no choice but to circulate her magic power, and her figure flickered, revealing herself from her hiding place.
Her aura was detected by all the cultivators present as soon as it was revealed.
Ren Ziyu's eyes sharpened as she glanced in the direction where Qin Xiyue was hiding, her heart filled with surprise and doubt:
"When did this woman sneak into this place? I didn't even notice!"
Upon seeing this, the black-robed cultivator was slightly taken aback, then a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, and he thought to himself:
"Hmm? There's someone lurking here? Judging from their concealment and the timing of their appearance, could they be a spy arranged by the sect to meet me?"
Although his cultivation level is somewhat weak, only at the Qi Refining stage, it should be more than enough to control those two Qingchi Sect kids below.
He immediately relayed the message to Qin Xiyue, "Girl, I'll hold off Ren Ziyu, you take the opportunity to seize the pill!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Xiyue was initially taken aback, but her mind raced, and she instantly realized that the other party had mistaken her for an accomplice.
Given the current chaotic situation, this may be the only opportunity.
In a flash, their eyes met briefly, and Qin Xiyue nodded almost imperceptibly.
"Hahaha, Ren Ziyu, your opponent is me!"
The black-robed cultivator laughed loudly, and his demonic energy surged, transforming into several ferocious tentacles that attacked Ren Ziyu.
The offensive was fierce, with the intention of forcing them away from the core area of Qingxin Peak.
Ren Ziyu, worried that Qin Ruoxi and Chu Tianyang would be implicated, could only snort coldly, raise his body, and lead the battlefield into the air to fiercely clash with the black-robed cultivator.
In the arena, Chu Tianyang had already locked onto Qin Xiyue.
He snorted coldly, his face filled with contempt:
"You cowardly rat, how dare you covet the possessions of my Qingchi Sect? Prepare to die!"
Having said that, he made a hand seal, and a lightning strike hurtled towards Qin Xiyue.
Now that Qin Xiyue has been exposed, she no longer needs to hide.
Her gaze sharpened. Although her cultivation was inferior to her opponent's, she relied on the perspective of her previous life's Purple Mansion and her understanding of the Dao of Confrontation.
She can make herself invincible.
Her footwork was mysterious, her figure as elusive as a willow catkin, narrowly avoiding the lightning strikes, while simultaneously flicking her hands, unleashing several weak bursts of magical power.
It draws upon the residual spiritual energy in the surrounding environment, transforming it into an invisible obstacle that interferes with Chu Tianyang's subsequent attacks.
After a brief exchange, Chu Tianyang realized how difficult Qin Xiyue was to deal with, and Qin Ruoxi immediately went to help.
Qin Ruoxi brandished her spirit sword, and a chilling sword aura, in conjunction with Chu Tianyang, attacked Qin Xiyue from the flank.
Qin Xiyue remained calm under pressure, using her keen perception of qi and exquisite footwork to maneuver around the situation, making it difficult for Chu Tianyang and Qin Ruoxi to subdue her for the time being.
And gradually drove the two into a desperate situation.
The two men grew increasingly alarmed as the battle progressed. This woman, despite only being at the third level of Qi Refining, possessed exceptionally rich combat experience. She was able to evade deadly attacks in times of crisis, as if she could predict their moves.
As the battle dragged on without a clear victor, a ruthless glint flashed in Chu Tianyang's eyes:
"Junior sister, use your spiritual treasures and finish this quickly!"
The two immediately patted their storage bags, and with a flash of light, each of them produced a treasure.
In Chu Tianyang's hand was a crimson gourd, its surface covered with flowing runes and radiating a scorching heat.
In Qin Ruoxi's hand was an ice-blue feather, crystal clear and exuding a chilling aura.
It was a mid-grade spiritual treasure bestowed upon them by the Qingchi Sect.
With the appearance of the magical treasure, Qin Xiyue's pressure increased dramatically.
Flames spewed from the gourd's mouth, transforming into fiery crows that swooped down. Their feathers trembled, and ice crystals condensed, pouring down like a torrential rain.
The interplay of ice and fire amplifies their power several times over.
Qin Xiyue sensed something was wrong. She had been reborn and had no external possessions.
Faced with the power of the magic weapon, her tricks immediately proved inadequate.
The battle situation reversed instantly. Qin Xiyue, who had initially been in the lead, was now struggling to defend herself against the attacks of the two spiritual treasures and was at a disadvantage.
