150. Chapter 150: Trap

"Yan Jie, aren't you in seclusion?"

Fang Qingyan explained, "I was in seclusion, but for the past two days, for some reason, I couldn't calm my mind—I kept feeling I'd miss something if I stayed inside."

"So I came out, and guess what? I heard you'd arrived, so I rushed over right away."

Luo Yao hadn't expected this, but it was better this way—at last, she'd seen Yan Jie.

"Yan Jie, here's a Foundation Establishment Pill—I prepared it specially for you."

Even though she knew Yuehua Xianzi would prepare one for her, the one she prepared carried her heart—and more importantly, it was a top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill.

"This…"

From Wangyue Pavilion, who could track their trail?

Either Wangyue Pavilion leaked their whereabouts, or these people had been watching them all along, following them since they left.

Luo Yao also introduced her master to Fang Qingyan, and vice versa.

Now, with the spiciness of the hotpot, all of it was released.

So Elder Wei had already decided to retreat with Luo Yao.

…

Elder Wei's heart lurched—he understood these people's plan; they were after Luo Yao.

…

Even after eating the hotpot, Elder Wei faintly felt his cultivation was on the verge of breakthrough.

So he wanted to go out and seek opportunities.

You should know that Elder Wei has been troubled no end by his inability to break through; after all, even his junior sister has reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, and his disciple has already advanced to the mid-stage of the Golden Core, so while he appears untroubled on the surface, the pressure in his heart is immense.

"You won't escape." The Nascent Soul-stage demonic cultivator stared coldly at them. "No one will come to save you."

"Uh!"

The message Sister received just now—if that message was planted by them, then they deliberately revealed themselves to lure Sister away.

"Xiao Yao, when I break through to Foundation Establishment, let's travel the Immortal Cultivation World together!"

Luo Yao immediately blushed. "Uncle Wei, I was just joking."

Elder Wei flew into a rage and charged at the demonic cultivator with Luo Yao.

"Go!"

Shh!

He gripped his Long Sword and vanished from his spot, reappearing beside the Golden Core-stage demonic cultivator, slicing him down with one strike.

Elder Wei's face turned pale—these people had clearly prepared for a long time; they'd even set up an Array. This was no accident.

Elder Wei frowned, scanning the surroundings: one Nascent Soul, he could barely handle, but around him were several Foundation Establishment-stage and one Golden Core-stage demonic cultivators.

"Spicy—but powerful!"

Clearly, after Luo Yao's reputation spread across Pingzhou, some people developed malicious intentions.

Upon hearing "top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill," Fang Qingyan was stunned; she couldn't find words to describe her feelings, so she clutched Luo Yao tightly.

But as he moved to kill another Foundation Establishment-stage demonic cultivator, the Nascent Soul-stage demonic cultivator roared in fury, appearing beside him in a flash and slapping him with a palm.

Elder Wei's eyes lit up. "This could work!"

Only Luo Yao remained, so she vowed to protect Luo Yao at all costs.

Elder Wei tried to aid Luo Yao, but the Nascent Soul-stage demonic cultivator blocked him.

Elder Wei and Luo Yao's figures were separated.

The next day, Fang Qingyan, fully satisfied and with no more worries, turned and entered the secret chamber.

Luo Yao was also happy—it was a long-held wish, and sitting idle wouldn't help her improve her cultivation.

This filled him with joy.

Moreover, they used high-grade Beast meat, delicious and unforgettable.

However, as the two walked along the road, they encountered a demonic cultivator slaughtering a mortal village.

Zi Qianxue approached Luo Yao, planning to return—seemingly their matter was resolved.

This time, she wouldn't come out of seclusion until she broke through to Foundation Establishment.

She still wanted to find some Spells; although Taixu Sect offered many, she always felt none suited her—she needed to choose the right one, then cultivate it into a Supernatural Ability.

"Huh!"

Among them, her parents and Master Xu had already passed away.

"I wonder if this so-called genius still counts as one after turning into a corpse."

Shh!

Suddenly, a white light flashed around them, revealing an Array enveloping them.

The doting Snow Immortal and the other naturally had no objections—they'd heard of Luo Yao and Fang Qingyan's story and knew their reunion was a rare, joyful event.

Zi Qianxue and the other no longer held back, each holding a skewer, biting left, then right.

"When that time comes, prepare more of these seasonings for me and teach me how to make them—I plan to eat hotpot for the next few years."

"It's fine—I know my limits."

Everyone spent a joyful night filled with laughter and chatter.

Elder Wei wasted no more time and turned, leading Luo Yao toward Taixu Sect.

The demonic cultivator didn't answer, but turned to Luo Yao and grinned savagely.

Then deliberately chose their inevitable path to slaughter mortals, luring them into the prepared trap.

And Elder Wei, seeing Fang Qingyan there, was surprised.

The two women chatted away, while Xi Lan quietly slipped away, leaving space for the sisters.

He couldn't handle so many Demon Sect cultivators alone, and he still had to protect Luo Yao.

"Trouble!"

Luo Yao followed her master toward Taixu Sect, but along the way, Zi Qianxue received a message saying they had spotted the group's trail and ordered her to hurry and join them.

In the end, Luo Yao even suggested having a hot pot.

"Great!"

Boom!

Elder Wei was blasted backward.

Thinking of this, Elder Wei immediately unleashed his full power.

And yet a Nascent Soul cultivator had appeared—this was suspicious.

In this world, only two or four people truly cared for her.

Xi Lan, who had already tried it, quickly raised both hands and feet in agreement.

This was a wish from many years ago, and now it could finally be fulfilled.

The Nascent Soul Ghost Cultivator spoke a single sentence to several Foundation Establishment Ghost Cultivators, then waved his hand, and mist rose around them.

If you ate hot pot every day for years, even the strongest cultivator's body couldn't withstand it.

After an unknown length of time.

Luo Yao laughed, "Elder Wei, why not try eating hot pot every day? Maybe you'll break through one day."

Unfortunately, it had only loosened—true breakthrough still required fortune.

"Are you people from the Corpse Demon Sect?"

"Leave the girl to me."

Although they had killed the Demon Sect cultivators, more and more of them soon appeared around them.

Elder Wei didn't use his cultivation, so although he sweated profusely from the spice, he felt wonderful.

Crash!

The Nascent Soul Demon Sect cultivator and the other Foundation Establishment Demon Sect cultivators all attacked Elder Wei at once, forcing him to stop and defend.

As a result, his long-standing bottleneck had begun to loosen.

Elder Wei's heart lurched, his face turning grim, "Was my sister lured away by you?"

Zi Qianxue ordered Elder Wei to take Luo Yao back to Taixu Sect.

"Trouble!"

"I don't know how Taixu Sect will react now that one of their Elders and a genius have died," sneered the Nascent Soul Demon Sect cultivator.

On the other side, Luo Yao was blocked by three Foundation Establishment Demon Sect cultivators.

The situation was unfavorable for Luo Yao and the others.
