Chapter 190: The Golden Cicada is Poisonous!

"Let go of me!"

Being held in Qiongxiao Immortal Maiden's hand, the Six-Winged Golden Cicada was still struggling.

"Pfft!"

Besides, before he could say much, a sword flash cut off the Golden Cicada's head; the attacker was none other than Bixiao Immortal Maiden.

"Well, this cicada can speak, or perhaps only after losing its head can one bring oneself to eat it."

Obviously, tempted by the lure of immortality, the Three Immortal Maidens have already made up their minds to eat this Golden Cicada sashimi.

This sight left all the demons looking envious.

Cihang Daoist hesitated, feeling he was no match for the Three Immortal Maidens, so he stopped looking and turned his gaze to the clouds in the sky.

"Bai Ze, you have betrayed the Demon Court; I have taken note. Next time we meet, it will be a fight to the death!"

Demon Master Kunpeng roared in anger.

In the next moment, the clouds turned into a huge Kunpeng phantom, which leapt violently and disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Kunpeng's strength is indeed not to be underestimated!"

Watching the direction in which Kunpeng disappeared, Bai Ze muttered.

Immediately afterward, his gaze turned toward the Three Immortal Maidens.

"How about it, Fellow Daoist Bai Ze, do you want to have a match with us?"

Yunxiao Immortal Maiden said while holding a long sword.

However, Bai Ze ignored the Three Immortal Maidens, instead looking at Cihang Daoist and spitting out.

Immediately afterward, a red pearl flew toward Cihang Daoist.

"Fellow Daoist Cihang, this is the Return Dream Pearl you gave me earlier; today it returns to its original owner. Let's call our duel a draw, how about that?"

Bai Ze spoke.

He reached out and took the red pearl; Cihang Daoist furrowed his brows, not knowing when this person had become so agreeable.

After confirming the Return Dream Pearl was fine, Cihang Daoist flipped his hand, put it away, and gave Bai Ze a Daoist salute.

"In that case, let's call it quits for now!"

Cihang Daoist also lost the will to continue fighting, after all, she had long seen that the Demon Court was in serious trouble this time; it seemed Bai Ze was preparing to lead the demons in rebellion against the Demon Court.

Thus, although she did not strike the blow, this time the Expounding Teaching's mission could be said to have been completed beyond expectations.

"Elder Sister, do you think we have gained an opportunity this time?"

Qiongxiao Immortal Maiden looked at the two headless pieces of Golden Cicada in her hand and suddenly asked.

Upon hearing this, Yunxiao Immortal Maiden and Bixiao Immortal Maiden exchanged a glance, suddenly not knowing how to answer.

This Six-Winged Golden Cicada could also be considered an opportunity; however, its greatest benefit is immortality, but for the Three Immortal Maidens whose lifespans are nearly infinite, can it truly be considered an opportunity?

"Forget it, it's not entirely without gain; at least I can confirm one thing: the Master's edict to the disciples is absolutely correct!"

Yunxiao Immortal Maiden said with a solemn expression.

Upon hearing this, Qiongxiao Immortal Maiden and Bixiao Immortal Maiden also nodded thoughtfully.

Indeed, they originally did not fully understand the meaning of the word 'kill'.

And only after acting against the Western Teaching's people did they finally understand what the Master truly wanted them disciples to do.

Kill, kill all opponents in this calamity without mercy; this is the sole hope for the Severing Teaching's disciples in this calamity!

As for why we act against the Western Teaching's disciples rather than the Expounding Teaching's disciples?

That is naturally because the Western Teaching is far away in the heavens; even if we act against their disciples, the Two Sages of the West would not arrive in time to help.

If we were to act against the Expounding Teaching's disciples, not to mention that the two sides have not yet completely broken ties, even on the side of Yuanshi Tianzun they would find it hard to explain.

"Alright, the matter is settled; Bai Ze, let us go!"

Yunxiao Immortal Maiden said to Bai Ze.

Upon hearing this, Bai Ze nodded thoughtfully.

In the next moment, accompanied by the flow of space, Yunxiao Immortal Maiden and her two companions appeared above the North Sea.

"Finally out!"

Qiongxiao Immortal Maiden stretched lazily, then glanced at Yunxiao Immortal Maiden beside her, noticing her thoughtful expression.

"Elder Sister, what's wrong with you?"

Upon hearing this, Yunxiao Immortal Maiden shook her head and said: "Nothing, I just feel that something is off somewhere."

"Elder Sister, it's not me saying this, but you sometimes just think too much."

Qiongxiao Immortal Maiden said with a smile: "Right, let's first find a place to share this Golden Cicada; I don't know if the meat will deteriorate if left too long."

Upon hearing this, both Yunxiao Immortal Maiden and Bixiao Immortal Maiden had no objection.

Immediately, the three flew in a direction, and not long after they found an Immortal Island descending.

"Elder Sister, what's next..."

Qiongxiao Immortal Maiden said while already drawing her flying sword.

"Let me do it!"

Yunxiao Immortal Maiden furrowed her brows, after all, she has a cleanliness obsession and is not used to eating Golden Cicada sashimi cut by someone else's flying sword.

Upon hearing this, Qiongxiao Immortal Maiden and Bixiao Immortal Maiden exchanged a glance.

"What to do? Elder Sister doing it herself, her cooking skills should be fine, right?"

"It should be fine; it's just sashimi, a simple cut, how could it possibly cause food poisoning?"

"But you forgot that time three thousand years ago when Elder Sister personally cooked and almost sent the older brother to his demise?"

"This, that time was just an accident; who could have thought that the fish Elder Sister cooked contained deadly poison, almost killing the older brother who was at the quasi-Sacred Realm?"

"That's also right; that time was just an accident, and the way to eat this Six-Winged Golden Cicada has long been spread—just slice it into sashimi, there will definitely be no problem."

"En, also right, speaking of which, how could the way to eat the Six-Winged Golden Cicada have spread so widely? Could it be that someone has eaten it?"

"I don't know about this!"

"Just as Immortal Maiden Qiongxiao and Immortal Maiden Bixiao were exchanging glances, Immortal Maiden Yunxiao had already sliced the golden cicada."

"Second sister, little sister, the golden cicada has already been sliced; come, try it, how does it taste?"

"Immortal Maiden Yunxiao didn't notice the two sisters' exchange of glances, holding a plate of golden cicada sashimi, she said to the two of them."

"It has to be admitted, Immortal Maiden Yunxiao's knife skills are superb; the sashimi is cut so finely it's crystal clear and flawless."

"Speaking of which, the Tang Monk's meat that everyone in later generations wants to eat—now someone has actually tried it first, but I don't know how this taste actually is."

"In the void, Ao Yifan stroked his chin, secretly thinking to himself."

"Thinking, Ao Yifan turned his head to look at Jiang Wanghou beside him and asked, 'Queen, are you sure this golden cicada must be eaten by steaming? Are other methods fatally toxic?'"

"That's right, Ao Yifan learned from Jiang Wanghou that the true way to eat the Six-Winged Golden Cicada is actually steaming."

"Besides that, any other way of eating it will cause the golden cicada's meat to produce deadly poison!"

"My lord, I will definitely not forget this!"

"Jiang Wanghou nodded and said, 'Actually, I also heard this from a senior of the demon clan: they said the Six-Winged Golden Cicada must be steamed; otherwise, the poison produced by its meat will cause cultivators' cultivation to plummet!'"

"Ah, I see!"

"Ao Yifan watched the Three Immortal Maidens happily feasting, and a smile involuntarily curled at the corner of his mouth."
