Chapter 75: Nascent Soul Escapes

According to Jiang Guanyun's thinking, a Nascent Soul Realm powerhouse killing a Golden Core Realm cultivator was a very easy thing.

Even if that wild girl had a trump card and could summon the Vermilion Bird, as long as he made a quick decision and killed her in one blow, she wouldn't be able to use it even if she had heaven-defying means.

Therefore, when Jiang Guanyun caught up with Hua Changxi, he slashed out a sharp sword with all his strength at the first moment, not giving her any chance to fight back.

However, things still exceeded his expectations.

That wild girl had actually learned Buddhist divine abilities and used a divine palm to easily block his full-strength sword.

What he didn't expect even more was that in just over two months, the girl's cultivation had improved so fast. Judging from the spiritual energy fluctuations she emitted, it was actually catching up to him.

Is this the advantage of local cultivators?

Protected by the Heavenly Dao, favored by luck.

He, an outsider cultivator, with hundreds of years of cultivation accumulation, could not compare to the development of a local cultivator in a few years.

Really unwilling!

Sensing that the spiritual energy fluctuations behind him were getting closer and closer, Jiang Guanyun accelerated again. His spiritual energy was consumed too quickly, and the injuries in his body could not be suppressed, and blood stains immediately overflowed from the corners of his mouth.

Jiang Guanyun raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corners of his mouth, his expression gloomy and terrifying.

He, a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, was actually being chased and killed by a wild girl in the Golden Core Realm. How ridiculous.

The stinky girl wanting to kill him was simply wishful thinking.

Looking at the deep mountains in front, murderous intent boiled in Jiang Guanyun's eyes. Being chased like this, many of his means could not be displayed. He still had to enter the mountains. Once in the mountains, he would have a way to deal with that wild girl.

Hua Changxi followed closely behind the old Daoist. During this period, she suppressed the murderous intent in her heart and did not make a move at will. It was not until the old Daoist flew into the deep mountains and confirmed that the battle would not affect outsiders that spiritual energy gathered on her right hand, and she slapped out with a palm.

Sharp air waves attacked from behind, and the terrifying force forced Jiang Guanyun to fly somewhat unsteadily.

Looking at the giant hand attacking from behind, covering the sky and sun, seemingly wanting to suppress everything, Jiang Guanyun's heart missed a beat.

At this moment, he no longer had any contempt for Hua Changxi.

The giant hand covered him. Even if Jiang Guanyun increased his speed to the limit, it was not as fast as the giant hand's expansion and overturning.

"Bang~"

Jiang Guanyun did not rush out of the giant hand's coverage, but he reached the edge of the giant hand. He was only hit by a finger and fell to the ground vomiting blood.

Fortunately, he was only hit by a finger, and Jiang Guanyun only suffered heavy injuries, his life was not in danger. Seeing the giant hand attacking again, he immediately crushed the invisibility talisman and disappeared from Hua Changxi's sight in the blink of an eye.

Seeing the person disappear, Hua Changxi's expression changed.

She was not willing to let the old Daoist escape just like that.

This old Daoist had waited in Qingzhou for so long just to kill her. If she didn't solve him, he would definitely bring her countless troubles in the future.

Hua Changxi rode the cloud, 'whooshed' and flew to high altitude, a fire lotus appeared in her palm, and with the position where the old Daoist disappeared as the center, several fire lotuses were waved out one after another, quickly forming a encirclement.

The old Daoist was heavily injured and couldn't run fast.

Invisibility was not disappearance; the old Daoist must be hiding somewhere nearby.

Hua Changxi waved the fire lotus with the determination to kill the old Daoist. To ensure that the old Daoist could not cross the fire lotus, the power of each fire lotus was condensed to the maximum.

As soon as the fire lotus came out, the whole mountain peak became hot.

The next moment, Hua Changxi was shocked.

She didn't expect that the power of the fire lotus she used now would be so great. It was just a few fire lotuses, but it actually looked like it was going to burn the whole mountain peak.

The huge fire caused birds to be startled and beasts to be frightened in the mountain, fleeing everywhere.

Hua Changxi was surprised. The fire lotus before also had strong burning ability, but the affected range was not large and was limited to people.

But at this moment, the fire lotus could actually burn the mountain!

Hearing the fleeing sounds of birds and beasts, Hua Changxi came back to her senses, looking at the mountain peak that was being rapidly swallowed by flames, and a desire for destruction surged in her heart again.

Burn, burn, the flames swallow the mountain peak, the old Daoist will definitely die!

Hearing this voice from the bottom of her heart, Hua Changxi was startled. In order to kill the old Daoist, she actually wanted to let the whole mountain peak be burned.

No longer hesitating, she quickly waved her hand to recall the fire lotus.

The fire lotus retreated, and there was spiritual light flashing in the mountain. Seeing this, Hua Changxi immediately flew over.

When she arrived, she only saw a ray of spiritual light cross the sky and disappear quickly.

"What is that?"

Hua Changxi frowned, looked around, and found a charred corpse behind a giant rock.

"Is this the old Daoist?"

"Was he killed by me so easily?"

Hua Changxi couldn't believe it. The corpse could no longer see its original appearance, but the figure was indeed similar to the old Daoist.

"Is it really him?"

Hua Changxi still didn't believe that the old Daoist died just like that. Thinking of the ray of spiritual light that slipped away just now, the position where the spiritual light appeared was here. Could it have something to do with the old Daoist?

Now, for things about cultivators, she didn't dare to be careless anymore.

Who knows if the old Daoist had any life-saving means, or if he knew some techniques she didn't know at all.

Anyway, Hua Changxi didn't think the old Daoist was dead. Looking at the corpse, she felt somewhat uncomfortable. The people killed before were all directly swallowed by the fire lotus and disappeared. Without facing it directly, there would be no impact.

Suppressing the discomfort in her heart, Hua Changxi condensed a fire lotus and was about to burn the corpse, but she keenly discovered the ring on the corpse's hand.

Hua Changxi picked up a wooden stick, pried the ring off, and then the fire lotus passed over, instantly submerging the corpse.

Finally, only a pile of ashes remained on the ground.

At the same time, tens of miles away, Jiang Guanyun, who only had his Nascent Soul escaped, felt that his physical body was gone.

"Stinky girl, the old man will definitely kill you!"

But as soon as he thought of the torment of being burned by the fire lotus just now, a trace of fear added to Jiang Guanyun's heart: "How did the power of that fire lotus become so great?"

In Mount Wuzhi, he had experienced the wild girl's fire lotus. At that time, although the fire lotus could also cause him some damage, it was definitely not like it was now, actually being able to burn the physical body of a Nascent Soul cultivator like him.

Dead girl, she must have obtained an incredible opportunity in Mount Wuzhi.

These opportunities should have been his.

No matter how unwilling Jiang Guanyun was, he didn't dare to find Hua Changxi with only his Nascent Soul. On the contrary, he had to return to the Jiang family in Jizhou quickly and had to hibernate for a period of time.

Time, at the beginning of the spiritual energy recovery, time is the most precious.

Now all because of that dead girl, it was all stirred up and gone.

She really deserves to die!

Hua Changxi didn't stay in the mountain for long, took the cleaned ring, and left on the cloud. She didn't return to the capital directly but went to Daicheng.

Her battle with the old Daoist didn't last long, and it had only been half an hour since she passed by before.

At this moment, the city was still somewhat chaotic. Walking on the street, one could still clearly feel people's fear.

Thinking about it, they were happily preparing New Year's goods when two people fighting suddenly appeared in the sky above their heads, and it almost affected their lives. If she were an ordinary person, she would also be afraid.

Hua Changxi found an inn closest to the city gate to stay. After entering the guest room, she gave extra silver and asked the waiter to send a mirror.

Except for the Mountain Spirit and Little Pine, no one knew that she had left Mount Wuzhi. Moreover, returning to the capital today was a temporary decision.

The old Daoist blocking her couldn't have guarded outside Mount Wuzhi every day. She just came out of the mountain, and he followed her, which was too coincidental.

Thinking of what the Mountain Spirit told her before, not knowing what the old Daoist did, no matter where he ran, the old Daoist could find him.

Hua Changxi suspected that the old Daoist used the same means on her as he did on the Mountain Spirit.

She and the old Daoist only had one contact, which was when she rushed out of the monkey cave and was hit by him.

Therefore, the old Daoist's means should have been left at that time.

Hua Changxi took off her clothes and looked at her back with a mirror, but she didn't find anything on her back.

After pondering for a while, Hua Changxi circulated spiritual energy, let the spiritual energy cover her back, and in an instant, a 'Jiang' character appeared on her back.

Seeing that the old Daoist really left a mark on her, murderous intent surged in Hua Changxi's heart again.

"How to remove this character?"

Hua Changxi thought about it, thought of the power of the fire lotus, condensed a fire lotus, and directly used the fire lotus to burn the 'Jiang' character.

She was not afraid of fire, but being burned by the fire lotus, she could still feel the burning pain.

Seeing that the 'Jiang' character was indeed fading bit by bit under the burning of the fire lotus, Hua Changxi gritted her teeth and persisted.

Finally, the 'Jiang' character was burned away. Although her back didn't leave any scars, she was sweating profusely from the pain.

"The power of the fire lotus has really become stronger."

Is it because the Buddha hand became fuel for the Buddha hand?

Little Pine said that the Buddha hand was a top-level heavenly treasure, and she was right. After melting and being absorbed by the fire lotus, the power of the fire lotus seemed to have increased by a level directly.

After removing the traces left by the old Daoist, Hua Changxi rested for a while and left the inn.

The bustle on the street hadn't recovered, and there were many patrolling soldiers.

Following the villagers' discussions, Hua Changxi walked to the area most affected by the battle.

Many houses collapsed, and some people were injured. The government officials had already come and were organizing manpower to deal with and arrange for the wounded.

Hua Changxi looked at the injured people and saw that most of them were external injuries and not fatal, so she breathed a slight sigh of relief.

In the end, these people were implicated by her.

Hua Changxi felt somewhat sorry and wanted to pay for the medical expenses, but she didn't have much silver on her. Just at this time, she noticed the group of black-robed soldiers wearing masks.

Some of the black-robed soldiers were also injured. Hua Changxi sensed the spiritual energy overflowing from them.

These soldiers were cultivators!

"Who are those people? Why are they still wearing masks?"

Hua Changxi asked the people watching the excitement beside her as if unintentionally.

"Don't know, they came from the capital, seem to be called something like the Demon Suppression Army."

Demon Suppression Army!

Hua Changxi didn't expect that this group of black-robed soldiers was the legendary Demon Suppression Army, so she couldn't help but carefully look at those people, especially those who were injured.

After looking for a while, seeing a scholar setting up a stall at the entrance of the alley next to her, Hua Changxi hurriedly walked over, gave a corner of silver, and borrowed his paper and pen.

In front of a collapsed house, Chu Junyi was urging the doctor to treat the injured soldiers.

"External injuries are easy to handle, but internal injuries..."

"When the giant sword slashed down, although the giant hand blocked it in time, Xu Meng and the others were still shaken by the powerful spiritual energy, causing damage to their spiritual veins. Ordinary doctors cannot treat them."

"The strength of those two people is too strong. Their cultivation should be above the Golden Core Realm. Otherwise, it is impossible for a little aftermath to seriously injure a Qi Refining cultivator."

"We must return to the capital quickly and find a doctor from the Medical Department to treat them. Otherwise, I am afraid their injuries will worsen."

The Zhonglang General Meng Ziyu carefully described the situation of the injured soldiers.

After hearing this, Chu Junyi frowned. Spiritual vein damage might not be treatable by the doctors of the Medical Department: "I will report this to the Minister as soon as possible. I estimate that in the end, we will still have to go to the Jiang family in Jizhou."

Meng Ziyu: "The Jiang family... I'm afraid they are not in the mood to deal with external affairs at this time."

In the battle of Mount Wuzhi more than two months ago, three cultivators of the Jiang family died, one of whom was the current head of the Jiang family.

The mysterious ancestor of the Jiang family was also injured. During this period, the Jiang family was fighting fiercely internally, and he didn't show up to stop it. I don't know if it was really as the outsiders said, that the injuries were serious?

Chu Junyi rubbed his brows: "If the doctors of the Medical Department were more capable, we wouldn't have to beg the Jiang family every time."

Meng Ziyu said a fair word: "In cultivation matters, everything needs heritage. Relying on groping by oneself is too difficult."

Chu Junyi agreed with this, but the Demon Suppression Army rushed to the forefront and would have casualties every time. The Medical Department had never made a breakthrough in medicine and alchemy, resulting in most of the pills needed by the Demon Suppression Army having to rely on the Jiang family to provide.

Meng Ziyu just wanted to say something, but his expression suddenly changed, and he blocked Chu Junyi with a wrong body, grabbed with his right hand, and grabbed a bundle.

Chu Junyi flew onto the roof next to him at the first moment, staring closely at the pedestrians on the street, but unfortunately, he gained nothing.

"Commander, come and see."

Hearing Meng Ziyu's shout, Chu Junyi gave up searching for the suspect and jumped off the roof.

"Commander, look."

Meng Ziyu handed the note in the bundle to Chu Junyi.

Chu Junyi opened it and saw only two sentences on it.

"Passing through this place, I don't want to cause trouble, sorry."

"There are some healing pills in the bag, a small token of apology, please ask the fellow Daoist to properly arrange for the injured ordinary people."

Meng Ziyu handed over the pills in the package again: "There are hemostatic pills, blood-returning pills, spring-returning pills, recovery pills, vein-fixing pills, detoxifying pills, spirit-clearing pills, and spirit-smoothing pills, three bottles of each."

Chu Junyi looked at these pills with a surprised expression.

Meng Ziyu was happy: "These healing pills have more varieties than those provided by the Jiang family. Is this vein-fixing pill for repairing spiritual veins?"

Seeing Chu Junyi silent, Meng Ziyu asked: "Commander, are you thinking about who threw the package to us?"

Chu Junyi nodded. The two cultivators who fought in the sky above Daicheng before ran too fast, and they didn't see their figures clearly.

Meng Ziyu thought for a while and said: "I think the person who gave us the package must have obtained the alchemy heritage. Otherwise, it is impossible to take out so many pills at once."

"Being able to refine so many pills shows that he is not short of resources. It is very likely that he is a disciple of some big family."

Chu Junyi looked at him: "You and I know the big families on the surface of Great Jin. We can also estimate their abilities. Which family do you think can cultivate such a strong cultivator?"

Meng Ziyu was silent: "You mean, this person comes from those hidden ancient families?"

Chu Junyi shook his head: "I can't say well. The terrain in many places is changing, and ordinary people may also encounter ruins and obtain the heritage inside."

Meng Ziyu: "Anyway, although that person caused the battle, he also stopped the perpetrator in time, and now he has sent a gift of apology. I think this person is not bad."

Chu Junyi didn't commit himself.

Meng Ziyu saw that he didn't speak: "Then I will take these pills for Xu Meng and the others to take?"

Chu Junyi checked every pill before nodding.

After Meng Ziyu left, Chu Junyi continued to look at the pedestrians on the street with a serious expression. What is the background of those two people? Why is their cultivation so high? ===== CHAPTER 76 =====
