Chapter 67: Soul Extraction and Spirit Refinement
After dividing up the supplies, the two headed toward Xuanyuan Sect.
However, regarding the future, Luo Yao felt somewhat lost.
Originally, with the care of her Foundation Establishment master, she could cultivate peacefully until reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, and if she needed spirit herbs to refine a Foundation Establishment Pill, she could ask her master for help.
She could even gain experience regarding Foundation Establishment.
But now, everything was gone.
Leaving other matters aside for the moment, without the protection of a Foundation Establishment master, her days ahead would absolutely not be easy.
"Once my strength is sufficient, I plan to leave this place and go see Pingzhou!"
Fortunately, it wasn't zero; Luo Yao breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhao Yang immediately panicked and hurriedly explained; after seeing Luo Yao reunite with her master, he had left quickly, daring not to approach.
Upon returning to the sect, Luo Yao and the other entered seclusion to cultivate one after another.
Xuanyuan Sect.
She took out her Golden Finger.
Therefore, Luo Yao gave up.
Thus, upon hearing that the opponent had only just broken through to Foundation Establishment, naturally confident in his superior skills and boldness, he brought Zhao Yang along, intending to resolve the matter of Gongsun Ming.
If this flying boat were repaired, then when facing a Foundation Establishment cultivator, she could escape easily; even if escape proved impossible, she could create distance from a Foundation Establishment cultivator, giving her a chance to enter her Space Magic Treasure.
However, before she could feel happy, she heard a clamor coming from outside, or rather, the sound of the Array being attacked.
The Xuanyuan Sect Law Enforcement Team was responsible for maintaining the sect's safety; whenever disciples committed offenses, such as violating sect rules or even betraying the sect, the Law Enforcement Team would act to capture them.
Hearing these words, Luo Yao's face instantly turned even uglier; she did not know how these Law Enforcement members learned of her master's misfortune, nor why they claimed she colluded with outsiders to murder her own master, although Gongsun Ming's death did have some relation to her.
Upon hearing this, the Ziguang Sect Foundation Establishment cultivator naturally would not let such a good opportunity slip away.
These past few days, she had been using the Thousand-Mile Teleportation Talisman, but without exception, every result was zero.
When white light enveloped the flying boat, Luo Yao saw the shattered vessel restore itself to a flawless state.
"What is it?" Luo Yao frowned. "I don't know what you are talking about!"
Regardless of anything, she had to go out; otherwise, being trapped inside the Cave Abode would be even more dangerous.
"Sigh!"
"Colluding with outsiders, murdering one's own master, betraying the sect..."
This added another means of preserving her life.
Seeing the murderous aura emanating from this group, Luo Yao's heart skipped a beat, filled with a bad feeling.
"Could it be that Xuanyuan Sect has been occupied by Ziguang Sect?"
The captain of the Law Enforcement Team instantly pinned three major crimes on Luo Yao; each was a capital offense in Xuanyuan Sect, punishable by soul extraction and spirit refinement, condemning one to never be reincarnated for eternity.
After the two departed, two figures suddenly appeared at the place where Gongsun Ming was buried.
"Where is the person?"
Therefore, he found the Ziguang Sect Foundation Establishment cultivator who had given him the Token last time and told him about this matter.
However, just as they were about to return to Xuanyuan Sect, a thought suddenly surfaced in Zhao Yang's mind.
The other person was a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator from Ziguang Sect.
The Ziguang Sect Foundation Establishment cultivator released his Divine Sense but found no one nearby; his face immediately turned gloomy. "Very good, it seems you do not know the consequences of toying with a Foundation Establishment cultivator; today, I will show you."
Fang Qingyan also said happily, after all, who does not long for the true Immortal Cultivation World?
However, it seemed they had arrived too late.
After the Array was dispelled, Luo Yao saw a crowd gathered outside, all wearing Xuanyuan Sect attire, which made her breathe a sigh of relief.
"Two!"
More importantly, the resources here were too scarce.
Having said this, without waiting for Zhao Yang's agreement, she turned and left.
Zhao Yang first froze in surprise, then revealed a look of joy.
Luo Yao's backer was the Foundation Establishment cultivator Gongsun Ming; if Gongsun Ming died, then he would no longer need to fear Luo Yao and could personally kill her to avenge his grievances.
This thought startled Luo Yao; she took out her Flying Sword and carefully opened the Array.
Only then did the flying boat instantly expand, growing from the size of a palm into a two-meter-long vessel.
The Ziguang Sect cultivator raised an eyebrow, not expecting that someone else had acted before he could make a move; regardless of who did it, it was certainly a joyful event.
Zhao Yang suddenly noticed traces of battle around him; searching more carefully, he discovered signs of burial and immediately dug up Gongsun Ming.
Now, he could only try changing to the flying boat.
Afterwards, Luo Yao quickly refined the flying boat and soon obtained information about it.
Hearing this, Zhao Yang's face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot; luring out a Foundation Establishment cultivator was something he could not accomplish, for the slightest carelessness leading to exposure would result in being slapped to death by a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
This made Luo Yao's face turn extremely ugly; in Xuanyuan Sect, internal fighting was prohibited, let alone attacking another person's Cave Abode Array.
If Luo Yao were present, she would certainly recognize one of them as Zhao Yang.
"Senior, perhaps they are ahead; I only know the general location, not the specifics... After all, the opponent is a Foundation Establishment cultivator, so I dare not approach."
Swish!
As Luo Yao threw it, the Seven-Colored Dice began spinning rapidly; soon, Luo Yao stared intently ahead, watching the number appear on the dice.
Unlike here, where Foundation Establishment was the limit, representing the strongest within the sect.
This was the flying Dharma Artifact she had always wanted; with this flying boat, whenever she encountered an opponent she could not resist, she could use the boat to escape.
"Eh, that is..."
Zhao Yang sighed, feeling he had boarded a thief's ship.
This flying boat was a Dharma Artifact.
As long as Spirit Stones were inserted, it could be activated; traveling a thousand li in a day was no problem.
The only problem was that it seemed to be broken.
Luo Yao returned to her Cave Abode, yet once again took out Gongsun Ming's Storage Ring, and from inside it retrieved a flying boat.
Luo Yao's patron was gone.
At this moment, he wished he could immediately return to Xuanyuan Sect and kill Luo Yao.
As the name suggests, the boat was as light as clouds, but its speed was not slow; at least, when fully activated, it was comparable to the escape light of the Foundation Establishment Early Stage.
The worst-case scenario had not appeared.
That Ziguang Sect cultivator naturally knew Zhao Yang was speaking the truth, but was still somewhat angry.
"Is this the Foundation Establishment Stage you spoke of?"
After all, if Xuanyuan Sect lost one Foundation Establishment cultivator, the pressure on Ziguang Sect would decrease significantly.
Clearly, when Gongsun Ming was providing support, he encountered a siege by Ziguang Sect, escaped using the flying boat, but the flying boat was damaged in the process.
Luo Yao sighed, saying Xuanyuan Sect was simply too small, and moreover located in the most remote part of Pingzhou.
A joy rose in her heart, and she quickly infused Spirit Power.
"I did not plot to kill my master!"
But if she did not do it, she would be killed by that cultivator just now.
Luo Yao resolutely would not admit it, nor could she admit it.
However, this was not a problem for Luo Yao.
"Floating Cloud Boat."
But soon he forgot these things, and instead suddenly thought of a good idea to deal with Luo Yao.
It was just that, before she could open her mouth, she saw the leader of the Law Enforcement Team speak up.
However, looking at this group, Luo Yao frowned, because this group was the Law Enforcement Team of Xuanyuan Sect.
Clearly, the luck was not good.
"Luo Yao, your matter has been exposed; come with us!"
"Fine, I will accompany you then."
"Whether it is you or not is not for you to decide!" The Law Enforcement Team captain snorted coldly, "We will investigate the truth clearly!"
After all, being taken away by the Law Enforcement Team basically meant living worse than death.
"Although we made a wasted trip, I will let you off this time." That Ziguang Sect Foundation Establishment cultivator suddenly said with a gloomy face, "Remember to find an opportunity next time to lure the Foundation Establishment cultivators from your sect out."
It was said that in those big cities of Pingzhou, Foundation Establishment cultivators were everywhere on the roads, and Golden Core cultivators could be seen everywhere.
Therefore, basically all Xuanyuan Sect disciples, upon hearing of the Law Enforcement Team, dared not approach.
This made Luo Yao somewhat delighted.
Fortunately, Luo Yao's Cave Abode was large enough; otherwise, the house would have been burst open by the flying boat.
Luo Yao naturally would not believe their nonsense; once entering the Law Enforcement Team, almost no one ever came out, and basically all died very miserably.
It was just that these Law Enforcement Team members were at least Qi Refining Layer Seven cultivators, with the highest being at the Qi Refining Peak; she was not their match and had no way to escape.
