Chapter 260 Working Together
After Zhang Lingyu and the others caught up with the main group, they separated. As he expected, Li Yanhui and the other Li family cultivators were indeed in the main group that was breaking the barrier. He secretly crushed the jade talisman in his sleeve as a reminder.
Li Yanhui, standing in the group of cultivators, changed his expression slightly, immediately stopped what he was doing, and turned his head to look behind him, scanning the crowd. When he spotted that familiar figure, his face lit up with joy, and he sent a message asking, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, over here!"
A short while later, the three of them descended on the wind.
He led the Li family cultivators forward, cupped their hands, and said, "I didn't expect there to be such rules when entering the Spirit Puppet Palace. Thank you for reminding us, Fellow Daoist Zhang."
Li Yan was shocked when he received the message. He hadn't expected this to happen. Not only him, but cultivators from other smaller forces also received the same message, causing widespread panic.
On the contrary, the major powers like the six sects didn't seem to feel anything.
"Fellow Daoist Li, you're too kind. Even if I didn't know, I could have found out through other channels."
Zhang Lingyu smiled and said:
"I wonder if you would be willing to accept us?"
"Look at what you're saying, fellow Daoist. Our two families are related by marriage, and the True Person has also said that we should cooperate in the secret realm. How could we possibly refuse to accept your offer?"
With three more late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators joining the fray, Li Yan was overjoyed. Zhang Lingyu's strength was evident to all the Li family cultivators, comparable to a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator.
As for Lin Qing and his wife, with the other party vouching for them, they can still be trusted. After all, when cooperating with other forces, one must be wary of them stabbing one in the back.
"These two must be Fellow Daoist Lin and Fellow Daoist Chen. I am Li Yanhui of the Yuhu Li Clan."
"We have met Fellow Daoist Li. We hope you will take good care of us in the Heavenly Mystery Hall."
"Rest assured, fellow Daoists, as long as you do your best to help us obtain the passage token, my family will also assist you in obtaining the corresponding inheritance."
Li Yan smiled, then looked at Zhang Lingyu and asked, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, I remember the message said we should meet at the entrance of the Heavenly Mystery Hall, right? What brings the three of you to the Spirit Herb Garden?"
"I heard that there is a Phoenix Fruit tree deep in the herb garden, so I thought the nobles would definitely come. Besides... I also need a Phoenix Fruit."
"I see."
Li Yanhui nodded. He wasn't surprised when the other party said they came for the Phoenix Fruit. Back then, Master Xuanhao had given Zhang Lingyu the recipe for the Water Moon Bright God Pill. It was normal for the other party to want to refine the pill to help him overcome his inner demon tribulation.
"The Phoenix Fruit is alright, but the Water Curtain Heavenly Splendor is the main problem..."
To be honest, he didn't think Zhang Lingyu could find the Water Curtain Heavenly Flower. After all, it was extremely rare. If he really wanted to buy it, he would have to try his luck in the cultivation world of the East Sea.
"Since we're both here for this reason, why don't we travel together?"
"Haha, that's exactly why I came here."
Zhang Lingyu responded and then secretly sent a message: "If the noble family wishes to obtain that Phoenix Fruit Tree, we are willing to do our utmost to help."
Li Yan was taken aback at first, then his face lit up with joy, and he hurriedly replied, "Thank you for your help, fellow Daoist. To be honest, before I came in, the Master instructed me that I must obtain the Phoenix Fruit Tree."
What's so great about just getting the Phoenix Fruit? Once you seize the fruit tree, won't you be able to obtain spiritual fruits continuously?
Zhang Lingyu's actions were a godsend, and he continued, "As long as you help my family obtain it, the True Person will surely reward you handsomely afterwards!"
"Our two families are related by marriage, so any compensation is only right and proper."
"Fellow Daoist is too kind. We should still give what we owe." Li Yan smiled and didn't continue speaking. How could Zhang Lingyu just give his effort without expecting anything in return? The other party was quite cunning and probably had ulterior motives. However, these matters should be discussed with True Person Xuanhao after we have obtained the reward.
After discussing the matter, everyone joined the team to break the barrier. Since this barrier was the last barrier leading to the core area, it was extremely difficult to break, not to mention that many puppets were attacking from both sides.
With these repeated interruptions, quite a bit of time was wasted.
Zhang Lingyu appeared to be working together to break the restriction, but in reality, like the other cultivators from major forces, he was just putting on a show. In fact, he was using this opportunity to secretly observe the other cultivators, since these were the opponents to come.
'It's a pity that you can't tell anything just by looking at cultivation level...' He was secretly disappointed. Those cultivators were also cautious and would not make a move unless absolutely necessary, leaving all the restrictions to their own fellow disciples.
About fifteen minutes later, cracks appeared in the barrier leading to the core area under the combined attack of the continuously arriving cultivators.
The cultivators were overjoyed and increased their magical output.
"It's broken!"
One of the cultivators exclaimed in surprise, and the light barrier finally gave way, turning into specks of spiritual light and disappearing.
There are no more obstacles in front of us.
"call out!"
Dozens of whooshing sounds rose from the ground as the cultivators used their fastest methods to head towards their chosen targets without hesitation. Zhang Lingyu took out her flying shuttle and rode it.
"Fellow Daoist Zhang, the Phoenix Fruit Tree is in the northwest. Please follow!"
"Fellow Daoist Zhang, the Phoenix Fruit Tree is in the northwest. Please follow!"
"good!"
The Li family cultivators followed Li Yan back, while Zhang Lingyu deliberately maintained her speed, only a few steps slower than him.
He looked around and saw that the cultivators who were originally mixed together had visibly split into six groups and headed in different directions. The area where the Cangwu Fruit Tree was located had the most cultivators. Judging from their clothing, there were three Nascent Soul level forces, including the Jade Light Pavilion.
Meanwhile, there were quite a few cultivators chasing after them, but fortunately none of them were from the Six Sects, which gave him a slight sense of relief.
As for those rogue cultivators, knowing they couldn't compete with the major powers, they could only scramble for the various spiritual herbs and fruits planted in the spiritual fields. But this was the Spirit Puppet Sect, and any kind of spiritual item could fetch a good price in the outside world.
Before long, Zhang Lingyu and the others finally saw their target.
The Phoenix Fruit Tree stands on a crimson spiritual field, its shape resembling a phoenix with its wings folded, its body flowing with a spiritual radiance that is a blend of crimson gold and azure blue.
As if sensing the approach of strangers, thousands of leaves trembled slightly, emitting clear and melodious sounds, like the first cry of a fledgling phoenix.
Unfortunately, no one appreciated this beautiful sight; everyone's attention was focused on the six fist-sized spiritual fruits at the top of the tree canopy.
"Fellow Daoist Zhang!"
Zhang Lingyu's speed was evident to all in the Water Moon Secret Realm, and Li Yanhui did not hesitate to let him go and pick the spiritual fruit, while he himself was responsible for blocking the cultivators behind him.
Zhang Lingyu nodded slightly, and the speed of his flying shuttle increased even more. At the same time, he summoned the Spirit-Devouring Bees to form a barrier. He wanted to take this opportunity to seize the spirit fruit and the spirit tree in one fell swoop!
"All of you, come here!"
With a slight pull of his magic, the six spiritual fruits on the tree flew towards his palm. Just as they were about to reach him, they suddenly turned around. The swarm of bees, which had not yet formed a barrier, was scattered by several figures and rushed towards the spiritual fruits without hesitation. Their speed left him speechless.
In the next instant, several figures had already touched some of the spirit fruits. Zhang Lingyu gritted her teeth and used her full strength to pull the fruit, and finally three spirit fruits fell into her palm, while the other three fell into the enemy's hands.
"call..."
He quickly put the spirit fruit into his storage ring, and at the same time raised his head to look at the people in front of him. The result was just as he had expected.
"Who do we have here? Turns out they're all old friends!"
