Clan Cultivation: My Intelligence Updated Daily

Chapter 257 Reaching Out to Help

After deciding to go to the Spirit Herb Garden, the three of them hurried there. Along the way, they encountered other cultivators who shared the same idea, but none of them intended to fight them.

Three late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators gathered together constitute a considerable fighting force.

"This is going to be difficult."

Looking at the figures rushing past, Zhang Lingyu's expression was not good. The more people there were, the more difficult it would be to obtain the Phoenix Fruit.

Now we can only rely on the fact that the Li family cultivators are also in the herb garden.

The three flew a little further and were almost there when they were suddenly met with the sound of fierce fighting ahead. It was clear that someone was fighting, which immediately put them on guard.

Judging from their strength, neither side seems to be weak.

"Could it be that someone had already left the herb garden, only to be ambushed and killed on the way?"

With this in mind, Zhang Lingyu and the other two exchanged glances, concealed their presence, and quickened their pace. Before long, they saw a woman in green wielding a sword fighting two strangely dressed men.

These clothes are easy to identify; they belong to cultivators from the cultivation world of the East Sea.

A tall, thin man, wearing soft armor made from some kind of demonic beast, wielding a water-splitting dagger, with cunning and ruthless moves, was at the late Foundation Establishment stage.

The other person was more burly. His chest was tattooed with a ferocious dragon totem, and he wielded a heavy bone knife as thick as a door panel. His power was immense, and each strike made the woman's sword light sway. His cultivation had reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage.

"This female cultivator is truly remarkable; she held her own against two opponents without being at a disadvantage," Lin Qing exclaimed after watching for a while.

The woman's swordsmanship was fierce and swift, with streaks of sword light pouring down like moonlight. Unfortunately, the two men were well-coordinated and trapped her tightly. If it weren't for their exquisite swordsmanship, she would probably have been defeated long ago.

In the long run, they will inevitably meet their doom.

'This female cultivator's swordsmanship looks so familiar; it seems I've seen it somewhere before...'

The more Zhang Lingyu looked at her, the more familiar she seemed, and he became completely absorbed in the moment. As the woman turned to the side to avoid him, he suddenly noticed a pattern on her lining and snapped out of his daze.

Isn't this the kind of clothing that the disciples of Jade Light Pavilion usually wear?

Combining the female cultivator's swordsmanship with his own, he finally understood why he felt familiar with it.

Bai Yan Zhenren.

He had participated in two operations to defend Tianliu City against the beast tide, and had naturally witnessed the swordsmanship of this Golden Core cultivator. In fact, he had even been saved by the cultivator once.

"This woman might be a disciple of Master Bai Yan, or if not, she's closely related to him. No, she might be one of those people."

Zhang Lingyu suddenly remembered the news that Zhang Lingxiao had sent back from the sect. This Golden Core cultivator usually lived a secluded life and had never been heard of having any offspring or disciples. Five years ago, during the time when the Water Moon Secret Realm was open, a female cultivator from the Jade Light Pavilion killed a severely injured peak Foundation Establishment demonic cultivator with a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivation.

Only then did the other forces in the Zhao Kingdom learn that Master Bai Yan had taken on a disciple, and even discovered his name: Song Siyu.

Because of her outstanding swordsmanship, cultivation level, appearance, and background, many male cultivators were captivated by her. It is said that a true disciple of the Jade Serpent Fortress even came to her door to propose marriage.

The result was naturally a rejection, and the reason for it remains unknown, but it's probably because they didn't think it was a good fit.

This woman is indeed exceptionally beautiful...

Zhang Lingyu admired it for a while, secretly comparing it to Jiang Shuyan in her mind, and unknowingly became fascinated.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang?"

Seeing his expression, Lin Qing and his wife chuckled to themselves. They had long heard that Zhang Lingyu was still unmarried and that it was unlikely he would be interested in most women. They had never seen him act like this before, so they teased, "Fellow Daoist, have you perhaps taken a fancy to this woman?"

"Please stop joking, you two."

Zhang Lingyu snapped out of his daze, chuckled, and then said seriously, "Please, both of you, stay and cover for me while I go assist that fellow Daoist!"

"Why is that? Could it be that you've really taken a liking to this woman and are about to play the hero and rescue her?"

"No, this woman is a cultivator from the Jade Light Pavilion, which is my family's superior sect. I observed that her skills are quite high, and she might be a Golden Core disciple. So I thought I would save her and accumulate more favors for my family in the future," Zhang Lingyu shook his head and explained.

Master Bai Yan's cultivation has reached the peak of the Golden Core stage. Everyone says that he is the next Nascent Soul cultivator in the Zhao Kingdom, and that he has a high chance of successfully breaking through. If one can use this opportunity to build a relationship or receive some guidance, then he will truly rise to prominence.

"I see. Since we are both cultivators of the immortal path, we will naturally help you." The couple exchanged a glance and agreed without hesitation. The favors of a Golden Core cultivator are not easily obtained.

Thank you!

Zhang Lingyu nodded, and the Misty Jade Pendant at his waist emitted rays of spiritual light, making his figure increasingly illusory, and soon he disappeared.

"What kind of magical artifact is this!?"

Lin Qing used his divine sense to investigate, but found that he could not find the other party at all. He was secretly alarmed. After a while, he took out three talismans with an earthy yellow spiritual light from his sleeve and held them between his fingers, ready to be used.

In the center of the battlefield, the tall, thin cultivator spotted an opening and thrust his Water-Splitting Dagger like a venomous snake, aiming straight for the woman in green's back. Meanwhile, the burly cultivator's bone knife came crashing down on her head, putting the woman in grave danger.

"call out!"

Three beams of earthy yellow light shot into the sky without warning, instantly forming a triangular light prison around the burly cultivator. Thick earth elemental energy wrapped around him like a swamp, causing his sure-fire strike to suddenly falter!

"Who goes there?!" The two cultivators from the East Sea shouted in shock and anger at the same time, but then glanced around.

Their response was a deafening roar. Zhang Lingyu appeared on the flank of the battlefield, and six Xuan Ting flying swords were unsheathed in succession, carrying bright white lightning as they aimed straight for the tall, thin cultivator's throat.

The tall, thin cultivator was shocked. He could no longer attack the woman in green. He used his Water-Splitting Thorn to parry and retreated rapidly.

"clang!"

The flying sword collided fiercely with the Water-Splitting Thorn, and bright white lightning followed suit, coiling around it. The tall, thin cultivator groaned, feeling a violent sword energy drill into his arm's meridians, causing his blood and qi to surge.

The woman in green felt her pressure lessen, and seeing that the swordsmen who came to her aid were dignified and upright, and that they cultivated lightning, her spirits lifted immediately.

Although she did not know Zhang Lingyu's background, she was now united with him in hatred. With a clear shout, she changed her sword technique again, and the sword light suddenly condensed, as if it were rolling towards the burly cultivator who had just broken free from the earthen prison, tightly binding him.

The battlefield situation reversed in an instant.

"You wicked thief, dare to reveal your name!"

Zhang Lingyu did not answer, but suddenly patted the spirit insect pouch at her waist. A swarm of bees continuously surrounded the battlefield. At this moment, Lin Qing and his wife also arrived and stood on either side of the woman in green. They also released the puppets, their swords pointing directly at the two East Sea cultivators.

"Well, there were actually two people hiding there..."

The two men were no longer arrogant. Now, all four of their opponents were late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, and they also had two powerful puppets. If they continued fighting, their lives would be in danger.

The tall, thin cultivator hesitated for a moment, then secretly sent a message: "Senior brother...shall we retreat?"
