Firefly Journey

Chapter 354 A Gathering of Scoundrels (10)

The eye-like lines between Chi Liuzi's eyebrows were gleaming.

The four of you here are all outstanding figures in your respective sects. Even if you haven't eaten pork, you've seen pigs run, so you have some understanding of supernatural abilities like the Heavenly Eye.

Ancient records state that when Yang Erlang split the mountain to rescue his mother, he swept through the Heavenly Court. Among his unparalleled skills, the Heavenly Eye was the most mysterious and powerful.

Among the elders of at least four families and sects, none had even scratched the surface of this skill, let alone mastered it. It was truly unbelievable that the tall woman before them possessed such an unparalleled divine ability.

Yan Jinglei, the number one young talent among the four sects of Jiangdong, could no longer maintain his pride. He knew that his meager skills were nothing more than an ant compared to a tree in front of this person, not even on the same level.

He had a premonition that if the elders of the sect did not intervene, even if the man beside her stood by and watched, allowing Mu Jiaoluan to join the battle, the four of them would be unable to withstand her attack.

His idea was true.

The next moment, even though the three of them joined forces and used various spells, they were still no match for each other.

Chi Liuzi's six ethereal arms churned behind her back, and she actually managed to tear apart all the spells of the three of them with those ethereal hands.

His Xuanlong Sword Intent, Xiong Chu's Bear Transformation Body, and Tang Shenglian's Giant Fire Lotus were like an infant encountering an adult in front of the Void Hand and the Heavenly Eye—completely incomparable!

The Void Arm was responsible for defense, while the Heavenly Eye was responsible for offense. In just a moment, the endless magical power shooting out from the Heavenly Eye swept the three of them to the ground, each suffering serious internal injuries.

Chi Liuzi sneered, "I think the four major sects of Jiangdong are nothing special. The cultivation world is a dog-eat-dog world. The reason you don't let us rogue cultivators get close to the inheritance in the tomb is because of your sect's foundation."

"Very well, now that you've lost, you must abide by this rule. The inheritance of that Transcendent Realm elder is no longer your concern."

Yan Jinglei and the others were filled with hatred as they listened to Chi Liuzi's arrogant words, but they were helpless. They had already fought, but they were brutally defeated and were no match for her.

Chi Liuzi opened her Heavenly Eye again and unleashed a laser beam of magical power at the sculpture's head.

boom!

The sculpted head turned to ashes, revealing three radiant objects.

Those were three plants.

They look like grass, and they grow exactly the same, like triplets, each with three leaves and roots attached to the base. Strangely, the roots, such an intricate part, shouldn't be identical for all three plants, but in reality, they are exactly the same, which is quite mysterious.

Chi Liuzi, being knowledgeable and experienced, recognized them immediately.

The Illusionary Jade Grass is an extremely rare immortal plant. When ground into powder, it can not only cure all diseases but also greatly enhance a cultivator's cultivation level.

If a top-tier alchemist refines it into a pill, the effect will increase by another fifty percent!

Normally, just one of these plants would be enough to start a major battle among cultivators, but now there are three in the tomb – this is like striking it rich!

Lin Yuanran also saw the three Illusionary Jade Grasses, but he didn't understand the specific value of these three immortal plants. He only knew that they looked very valuable and were quite amazing.

Chi Liuzi urged her body forward, and was about to pluck the three immortal plants.

Suddenly, a large sword plunged down, blocking her path between her and the three immortal plants.

An old voice came from above:

“Young friend, you must be aware of the powerful effects of this Illusionary Jade Grass. If someone from my sect were to obtain it, we would guarantee at least one more Jade Pool Realm expert. In fact, if the opportunity is good enough, it is not impossible for someone to reach the Divine Transformation Realm.”

The speaker was Qingxiao Daoist. Most of the Star Moon Alliance members were sword cultivators, such as him and Yan Jinglei.

Upon seeing the three Illusionary Jade Grasses, the four on the cloud immediately drafted a contract to jointly acquire them. If there weren't enough to go around, no problem; the four sects had no shortage of alchemists. They could simply throw them all into the alchemy furnace and refine them into four pills, ensuring an even distribution.

The key now is to keep the magic herb in our hands and not let outsiders take it.

The ancient tomb itself had no realm restrictions. The four sects only allowed disciples below the Jade Pool Realm to enter, not wanting the struggle to escalate into a sect war. Unexpectedly, a rogue cultivator took advantage of the loophole.

Now that the treasure is about to be lost, we can't worry about anything else. If the elders don't step in, the losses will be enormous.

Chi Liuzi stopped and looked towards the edge of the clouds: "Oh? Below the Jade Pool, everyone relies on their own abilities. Isn't that the rule you set? What, are you trying to seize it by force now?"

Qingxiao Daoist said, "Young friend, what are you saying? Our Jiangdong Four Sects are well-known sects in the entire Great Xia cultivation world, and we never break our promises."

"But those three immortal herbs are too important; we absolutely do not want to give them up. How about this, young friend, if you are willing to give up the three immortal herbs, we can agree to any condition you set out for. Even if you want to join any of our sects and seek a position as an elder or a respected elder, we will have no objection."

Chi Liuzi and Lin Yuanran both understood that the old man wanted to get something for nothing.

Join any sect?

That's like going to work for their sect and then having to offer them medicinal herbs. Do they really think everyone is stupid and likes to pay to work?

The lifelong wish of an ordinary independent cultivator might be to join a major sect and have a place to shelter from the wind and rain.

But Chi Liuzi is different. She can crush the peers of the four sects on her own. She doesn't care about the positions of elder or elder. Who knows, if something happens to the sect in the future, they will have to rely on her to help.

Qingxiao Daoist's attempt to persuade Chi Liuzi with the treatment afforded to ordinary rogue cultivators is utterly delusional.

With the three major sects' prodigies defeated, there was no need for Lin Yuanran and Mu Jiaoluan to continue their performance, so they dispersed to their companions.

Lin Yuanran whispered, "This old man is quite shrewd, but he's a bit shameless."

Chi Liuzi smiled: "I think so too, so I plan to teach them a lesson. You're not a spatial magic user, are you? Leave the rest to me. Just take us away when it matters. I'm confident I can take on one or two old guys in the clouds, but if all four of them come at me, I don't think we'll be a match."

Lin Yuanran said, "You're so modest..."

You're only at the late stage of the Kaiyang Realm, while those four elders are all renowned Jade Pool Realm experts. Not only did you challenge them across such a vast realm, but you also regretfully couldn't annihilate them all. You're just too insatiable...

Lin Yuanran inexplicably thought of a saying: "The enemy not only refuses to surrender, but also dares to fight back against me."

Chi Liuzi said with great interest, "Is that so? I do have a condition. If you four elders can meet it, I will offer the immortal herb with both hands."

Qingxiao Daoist hurriedly asked, "What are the conditions?"

Problems that can be resolved peacefully should not be allowed to escalate into disputes, as that would damage one's reputation. At least the four sects of Jiangdong still have some face to save.

Chi Liuzi's eyes were like knives: "You four, immediately commit suicide on the spot, and I will send your corpses back to the sect along with the immortal herbs."

Such provocative words immediately turned the faces of the four sect elders pale.

Fan Cai, the most hot-tempered elder of the Vajra Sect, roared angrily: "You ignorant brat, you don't know the immensity of heaven and earth! Today, I will tear you to pieces!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a whistling sound came from the clouds, and Fan Cai's large hand swept down!
