Chapter 45 Good... shameless enough

  The Jū Líng Yī is not omnipotent, if it has a greatest use, it should be its auxiliary function, like continuously gathering spiritual energy to nourish Wén Tāo's body. Although 99% of the spiritual energy is absorbed, over the years, Wén Tāo's body also benefits greatly.

  And helping Wén Tāo to possess the spiritual awareness of a high-ranking cultivator in the early stages of Tribulation, is also one of its uses. Of course, this spiritual awareness temporarily enhanced by the array method inside the Gathered Spirit Robe still can't compare with that of a true high-ranking cultivator who has passed the Tribulation, but it's not weak either.

  They didn't fly, and Wēn Tāo easily caught up with them. Afterwards, Wēn Tāo hastily withdrew his spiritual awareness. His own spiritual awareness was temporarily borrowed from the Jí Lìng Yī (聚灵衣), and couldn't be used carelessly, otherwise it wouldn't be available at critical moments.

  The attire of these three people is just like that of ordinary Taoist priests, but in this era, no one cares what they wear, and it's hard to tell whether they are real or fake Taoists. However, from the spiritual observation just now, among the three people, one person has the power of Yuanying at the initial stage, another is Jindan at the middle stage, and the other is Jindan at the initial stage.

  Their speed was also very fast, and Wen Tao barely kept up until they reached the outskirts.

  "Hmph..." Ling Lan suddenly stopped in her tracks and let out a cold hum, turning around to shout: "You've been sneaking around for so long, why don't you come out already."

  "Amitabha Buddha..." Three Taoist priests came out, proclaiming the Taoist incantation. One of them was in the Yuan Ying period and looked like he was only thirty years old or so, but for those who cultivate the truth, once they reach the Golden Elixir period, their appearance cannot be used to judge their age.

  "Daring demon, heaven has its own way, humans have their own way, demons have their own way. You're just a fox spirit, yet you dare to come out and seduce all living things!!" The old Taoist came up and immediately slammed down his big hat. Wēn Táo listened from behind and was stunned for a moment, "Good...this is shameless enough!"

  Ling Lan clearly didn't expect it to be this way. In the cultivation world, there's no such thing as idle chatter; everything relies on strength. When humans kill demons, there's no need for formalities, and when demons kill humans, it's the same - only some major powers will take each other into consideration, otherwise, everything is decided by strength. Killing people and stealing treasures is a normal occurrence, but being accused of something right from the start, this was his first time encountering such a thing.

  Ling Lan had never been to the mortal realm and didn't know the difference between this place and the cultivation realm.

  "Xuanling Shixiong, why bother talking to this demon, let us capture it." Another mid-Golden Elixir cultivator, who looked around fifty years old, was about to take action.

  "Xuan Jing, don't be impatient..." Xuan Ling blocked Xuan Jing's path, silently scolding his junior brother for being ignorant. He thought this was the mundane world, dealing with ordinary demonic creatures that had reached the Golden Core stage and could transform into human form. Only those who reached the Nascent Soul stage could truly become human. However, even if a demon reached the Nascent Soul stage, without a magical artifact, it would be difficult for them to defeat a Golden Core cultivator in the mundane world.

  The fox in front of him was abnormally cold, but the charming and flirtatious aura still emanated from it, especially its attire and speech, which were clearly not those of a mundane creature. Moreover, at least at the Nascent Soul stage, one had to be careful.

  "If you return with me to the mountain gate now and clarify things, perhaps I can spare your life." Xuanling still had some reservations in his heart and did not immediately take action.

  Wen Tao watched from the shadows, his teeth itching with anger. Shameless to such an extent, even he, who had never seen the killings in the Cultivation Realm, could see it clearly - their eyes shone with a greedy light.

  But Wen Tao didn't move, he was waiting patiently.

  "Nonsense...!" Ling Lan didn't have the time to waste on idle chatter with them, and so she struck out with a palm, unleashing a powerful surge of four-colored True Qi that shot towards the three Xuan Lings like a dragon bursting forth from its lair.

  "Hmph......" Xuán Líng had long been prepared to make his move, and with a swift motion, he sent a flying sword from behind him, hurtling towards Líng Lán's four-colored true energy.

  "Hum..." A loud noise, Xuan Ling took a step back, the flying sword was shaken off but quickly regained control. As for Ling Lan, her situation wasn't as good, she retreated several steps in a row, although her injuries had basically recovered, after all, she had lost some of her vitality and wasn't fully healed. Moreover, the opponent's flying sword was an inferior spiritual artifact, if it were before, she would have had top-grade spiritual artifacts and wouldn't have been afraid. But after crossing the Heavenly Tribulation, all sorts of treasures had long been destroyed, now without any powerful objects, with only her Yuan Ying initial stage cultivation, she was much weaker.

  Let's test the depth of Ling Lan's abilities, and Xuan Ling also gained confidence, putting on a righteous face: "You dare to enter the mortal world and do evil, today you're unlucky, He Shan Pai will eliminate the demon for the people."

  Xuanling's junior brother Xuanjing and another junior brother Xuanning were also assisting in the side. This time, they originally sent Xuanling to Shu Mountain because Xuanling had already reached the Yuan Ying period and there was no further development in the mundane world. He could only continue his practice in Shu Mountain. Xuanling was the person in charge of the He Shan sect in the mundane world. After he left, the person in charge became Xuanjing. Mainly responsible for collecting intelligence from the mundane world and finding talented disciples.

  Ling Lan was once a nine-tailed celestial fox, a super expert in the late stages of Tribulation. Now, she has fallen to the point where she is bullied by dogs. However, her combat experience is extremely rich, and surviving for several thousand years on Mount Shu is no joke. She no longer engages in hard battles with Xuan Ling, instead relying on the agility and quick reflexes of a nine-tailed celestial fox to start testing out close-range combat.

  Xuanling, although also two hundred years old, is far inferior to Linglan. Moreover, he has never seen Linglan's extraordinary footwork and movements. The advantage gained from using a low-grade spiritual artifact vanished in an instant, leaving him on the brink of danger.

  "Xuan Jing, Xuan Ming, this demon is indeed cunning. Let's join forces to kill it." Xuan Ling was not a fool, and when his face was hit by Ling Lan's four-colored energy, causing a bloody gash, he immediately shouted at his second brother.

  Xuan Jing and Xuan Ming immediately spoke words of righteousness, drew their swords to assist, Xuan Jing was using the Crane Mountain Sect's legacy left for the mortal world, he was using a mid-grade spiritual artifact flying sword, which was several times stronger than Xuan Ling in his Yuan Ying period.

  Xuan Ming's flying sword was just a slightly better ordinary one, which made it somewhat useless in this battle.

  If it were in the past, Ling Lan could have taken them down with just a finger, but now... being forced back by Fei Xue's sword and surrounded by danger.

  Wen Tao had been watching from the side, this was his first time truly seeing a battle in the Cultivation Realm, and indeed, magical treasures filled the sky. Looking at Xuan Ling and others standing there, driving their fingers to command the flying swords, Wen Tao thought that if he could get close now, wouldn't he be able to take them down with one move?

  Gu Han Shi Fu also said that most of the bodies of those who cultivate the truth are only a few times stronger than ordinary people, and this is not comparable to monsters. Many monsters have strong bodies, which are themselves the best weapons.

  It's not that easy to get close to them, especially with the mysterious spirit's body surrounded by a circle of golden spiritual energy swirling around him as soon as the battle began. It seems like some kind of defensive formation or treasure. Looks like he was prepared early on.

  If they can't be killed off in one go, things will definitely get troublesome, what to do?

  At this time, Ling Lan had already appeared in a dangerous situation, one against three, especially the opponent's weapon was fierce... Spiritual Tool...

  A light bulb went off in Wen Tao's mind, Ah, there is a way.

  Wen Tao immediately went into action, first taking out the Eight Sound Soul Shaking Flute and then quickly finding two other magical treasures.
