Slow Fairy Road (Fairy Spirit Realm)

  Following Xiao Jianying southward for hundreds of miles, a sharp sound of weapons clashing was heard, and the sky's magical light flashed from time to time. It could be seen that a fierce battle was taking place in this area.

  Ling Jianying stopped the flying sword less than a hundred meters away from the Doufa arena, pointing at the two people who were still fighting fiercely in the distance, and said: "Look at that man who is manipulating the blue long chain. Is he the one who attacked you back then?"

  Liu Qianbi's face was wooden, she had long been unable to pretend to be weak in front of this child, and her voice was somewhat impatient. "No, isn't this person the cultivator who just tried to stop us from resting? If it were really him, I would have pointed him out already."

  "That's not necessarily the case," Rong Jianying's gaze remained fixed on the battlefield, and the dazzling light of the law made his eyes shine brightly, extremely bright, so he didn't notice Liu Qianbi's subtle change, but instead said in a very calm tone: "Earlier I asked you, you were vague about what that person looked like, what kind of moves they had, if the opponent didn't take out their magic treasure, it would be understandable if you couldn't recognize them with your brain, now take another look at his magic treasure and magic skills, is there a hint of familiarity?"

  What's the point of not recognizing you even if it's understandable? If so, why is he still clinging to himself and recognizing people everywhere? Is this guy on purpose?! Liu Qian's teeth were clenched, she was furious and wanted to split him in two! Suppressing her anger, she firmly denied: "No, I've never seen this person before!"

  "It's okay," Rong Jianying nodded in satisfaction after listening, "This kid is not bad, but he is still far from qualified to be my opponent. If it were really him, I wouldn't bother helping, killing a chicken with an ox knife, wasting time!"

  Liu Qianbi felt that she was at the end of her rope, and this time she truly looked at him with a sorrowful expression: "I've already said that I've helped you so much, I'm grateful beyond words, how can I waste your time again? In fact, I just took a closer look at the strength of this Daoist friend, and vaguely remembered something. That person seems to be not as powerful as this Daoist friend, but our strength is insufficient, which led to such a tragic outcome. So let's just drop it here, after the training ends, I'll go back and report to my parents, with the clan's power intervening, I believe we can find the murderer soon." After finishing speaking, she looked at Luo Jianying with pleading eyes, hoping that this gentleman would take pity on her and not interfere in other people's business again.

  But who would have thought that Ling Jianying didn't even look at her, his eyes fixed on the battlefield filled with longing, and he said firmly: "No way!"

  "Why?!" Liu Qianbi's voice suddenly rose, since he said that killing a chicken with a bull knife was a waste of time, let him not care about it, but he was not happy, what did he want?! He was almost driven mad by himself!

  "I don't trust your judgment," Rong Jianying's voice was flat, as if stating a fact. "I won't give up until I've personally confirmed whether this person is strong or not!"

  That is to say, next this child still has to continue to torment her?! Liu Qianbi's anger was stuck in her chest, and she couldn't calm down anymore. She directly blurted out: "You don't have to look for them anymore, actually those people were all killed by me! My life-bound treasure is also a chain, if you want to fight I'll accompany you!"

  This time, Ao Jianying finally shifted his gaze from the battlefield below and sized Liu Qianbi up several times. Liu Qianbi proudly puffed out her chest, showing no fear as she stared straight at him. They locked eyes for a long time, until Ao Jianying said seriously, "This joke isn't funny at all." Then he turned his attention back to the battlefield, continuing to watch the battle.

  A hundred meters away, the two people who were fighting fiercely and inseparably were Wang Fu and Cao Tao. It could be seen that they had been fighting for a long time, both with pale faces, bloodstains at the corners of their mouths, and drenched in sweat, looking extremely exhausted physically and mentally.

  Finally, in a fierce collision of the two treasures, both were shaken out by the residual waves of yuan force scattered from the collision for dozens of feet. After stabilizing their figures, they formed a subtle confrontation, and it could be seen that both sides needed a brief adjustment.

  "Why?" Wang Fu's hand grasped the Yuanyuan crystal, constantly replenishing his Yuanqi. His face was a pale gray, and his eyes contained both anger and sorrow. He couldn't believe that this brother, who had been as close to him as his own hands and feet, would set up a scheme to harm him.

  "Do you still need to ask? Of course, there are benefits to be gained," Cao Taotao sneered at him, also using Yuan Jing to replenish himself. "After all these years, I've had enough of playing some petty, family-style moral integrity dramas with you every day. Look at how many times you and Li Man have fought, what did you end up getting in the end? Except for a few more arrogant words, there's no real benefit to be seen, and your cultivation has also stagnated. I don't want to spend my days mixed up with you guys."

  Wang Fu's face was gloomy, his eyes filled with pain, and the corners of his mouth were bitter as he said: "Yes, perhaps we are laughable for fighting for the dignity of flying immortals, but if you don't want to, you can leave alone, I won't keep you. But why do you want to harm your brothers who have been with you for nearly a hundred years?"

  "Hahaha!" Cao Taotao laughed loudly, "Wang Fu, you're really a stubborn and obstinate person. It's just borrowing the aura of both parties to activate the transmission array here, no one's life is at stake, at most it's just a bit of exploitation, what's this talk about framing?"

  "Maliciously instigating a fight between two parties, resulting in both sides suffering losses, isn't this a trap?" Wang Fu looked at him with an air of nonchalance, his anger burning within. Thinking back to how they had once fought side by side, sharing joys and sorrows, even saving each other's lives, he had treated him like a biological brother, sharing everything without suspicion. But in the end, it was all just a betrayal. How could he not hate? How could he not resent?"Speak out your accomplices and the purpose of leading us to this point, then confess everything to everyone. I will let bygones be bygones, and we can part ways, each going our separate ways, with no further entanglements!"

  "Why tell you?" Cao Taotao sneered, "Wang Fu, don't think that just because you're leading a dozen or so people, you can consider yourself a big shot! You're quite clever, aren't you? Since you were able to guess it was me who did it, why not take another guess and figure out what my purpose is!"

  As soon as he finished speaking, he threw a black bead the size of his thumb at Wang Fu with lightning speed.

  Wang Fu subconsciously raised his treasure and held it in front of his chest to block, but unexpectedly the black ball let out a "boom" and released a dizzying smoke. He hastily cried out "Oh no!" and rushed forward, waving away the mist in front of him, but where was Cao Taotao's figure? He searched for a general direction and then chased after her with a flustered expression.

  Rong Jianying, who had been watching the play from above, also pulled Liu Qianbi, who was already bleeding internally, and said: "Let's go too, find a way out while checking if there are any other suspicious people."

  Xiao Yao looked at the words carved on the withered tree and was speechless for a long time, her headache and distress were accompanied by a slight sense of relief. In her opinion, as long as Zi Dong's plan didn't get out of hand, it probably wouldn't lead to loss of life. What she needed to be more careful about now was the people trapped in his plan, because his plan would always trigger the deepest desires within people, and ultimately destroy everything with those desires. She had a hunch that this person would only stir up trouble without cause, but he would never dirty his own hands.

  She glanced at the four people not far away, except for the male cultivator who was also a flying ascension cultivator like herself with calm and peaceful eyes, the other two men and one woman all had thick distrust and vigilance in their eyes. In Zidong's team, this kind of lineup was undoubtedly the worst!

  Because she had been silent for too long, Yu Feng and Kong Shengsheng, who were always on the lookout for her, noticed something was amiss and also walked to the withered tree, asking: "Fellow Taoist, what have you discovered?"

  Xiao Yao didn't want to hide it anyway, so she stepped aside and gestured: "You two take a look for yourselves."

  "Zi Dong?!" The two of them were shocked after reading it and involuntarily exclaimed: "That Zi Dong who is known as the fifth master of the Xianling Realm?"

  Their exclamation immediately aroused Liu Qianbi and Nan Xiu's curiosity, so they also came over to investigate.

  After reading the inscription, the man let out a slight sigh and said: "It turns out that it was this senior who was teasing us. It seems that what happened earlier was just a misunderstanding."

  "Naive!" Yu Feng sneered, "This senior has a habit of leaving notes everywhere. Who knows when this note was left? It can only prove that the elusive senior had been here before, but it cannot prove that our matter is related to the senior. Don't think that you can shift the blame onto someone else and clear your suspicions."

  "Hey!" The male cultivator was blocked by him, and he got so angry that his body shook slightly. After thinking about it again, he indeed had some reason, so he could only swing his sleeves, turn his face to the side, and ignore him.

  Xiao Yao didn't bother to intervene in their disagreement, and instead agreed with the male cultivator's speculation. She said, "If you have doubts, why not just ask him directly and clear things up?"

  Yu Feng looked at her with a strange expression: "How to find? This senior's whereabouts are mysterious, and now no one knows where he is under the sky. Moreover, such a person is not someone that we Jie Dan stage cultivators can casually talk to."

  Seeing the other party looking at herself like a fool, Xiao Yao was confused for a moment: "Just now he wasn't with me in the mountain cave, I suppose he should have been sent here too. Although the spiritual vision is severely blocked here, it's not easy to find people, but it shouldn't be too difficult either."

  The four of them were stunned, and I furrowed my brow and said: "Fellow Taoist, who are you talking about?"

  "It's naturally Zidong." They seemed to have been discussing this person since just now.

  It seems that Kong Sheng's mind turned quickly, as if he had thought of something. He suddenly said: "Fellow Taoist, aren't you mistaking our Zidong for that senior?"

  This time Xiang Yao furrowed her brow, what's the point of asking? Isn't it obvious that they're not one person? But she still asked: "How are they not one person?"

  The four of them burst out laughing, especially Yu Feng, who laughed even more exaggeratedly. "Haha! Are you kidding me?! How is this possible?! This Zidong is not that Zidong, the one on our side is just a name thief, especially since Senior Zidong's name is often stolen by those seeking convenience or thrills in the Eastern Extreme."
