Chapter 254 Convergence
"Thank you, fellow Daoists. I will reluctantly accept these pills."
"You're too kind. If you want to thank someone, thank these three fellow Daoists."
The one who answered Zhang Lingyu's question was a cultivator surnamed Jiang. Having dodged a fatal blow and not perished on the spot, he knew he couldn't change anything, and smiled at Fan Ya and the other two:
"If it weren't for the greed of the three of you, we would have divided up the pills and left long ago. How could we have ended up like this!"
These words were highly sarcastic. Wang and Lin felt a burning pain on their faces after hearing them. They never expected that all their efforts would be in vain, and that they would be doing all the work for someone else.
Faced with a fully-fledged late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, they no longer dared to even think about those pills; whether they could survive was still uncertain.
Unexpectedly, the cultivator surnamed Jiang persisted in his insults, and his last sentence caused their expressions to change drastically.
"Fan Ya, you three broke the alliance and killed my fellow disciples. Once I get out, I will definitely report to the True Master and personally go to your Jiangyun Sect to demand justice. You just wait and see!"
The cultivator surnamed Jiang had a ferocious expression on his face. He had already grasped the token bestowed by the Spirit Puppet Myriad Transformations Box in his hand, and it looked like he was about to crush it.
"Senior brother!"
Wang and Lin were terrified by the scene. If they were to escape, the incident would be exposed, and they would not only lose face for their own sect and Golden Core cultivators, but they might also be targeted by other immortal forces.
Although even among the six sects, open and covert struggles are inevitable, and it is common for disciples to be killed one after another, none of these are brought into the open. Once exposed, they would cause great trouble.
Therefore, before they left, the sect instructed them to avoid fighting if possible, and if they had to fight, they must eliminate the threat completely!
Paying compensation and apologizing are minor issues; if handled poorly, they could trigger a sect war and their own sect could be destroyed by other immortal forces, leaving them infamous for eternity.
The person closest to the cultivator surnamed Jiang was naturally Fan Ya. Only he and Zhang Lingyu present had a way to stop him. Of course, the latter simply put his hands behind his back, as if watching a good show.
"I see!"
Without hesitation, Fan Ya thrust his spear gleamingly toward the chest of the Jiang-surnamed cultivator. The moment the spear tip pierced through, the token in the latter's hand shattered, and a powerful beam of light instantly enveloped him, attempting to soar into the sky.
His eyelids twitched, and his hand clenched involuntarily. He pushed the spear tip further in, piercing through the figure in the beam of light. The figure inside coughed up several mouthfuls of blood from the severe injury, but remained steadfast: "Fan Ya, just you wait!"
After saying that, the pillar of light carried the Jiang-surnamed cultivator into the sky and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Is he/she dead?"
Wang and Lin stared blankly at the hole in the ceiling, cautiously asking their senior brother, who was standing there with a gun, for directions. The latter was equally troubled. Even though the Jiang cultivator had been seriously injured, he was still a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, and the probability of him dying was not high.
He opened his mouth but didn't say anything, but unexpectedly Zhang Lingyu behind him blurted out a sentence at this moment.
"His soul has been completely annihilated; he is as dead as can be. You can rest in peace now."
This made the three of them turn around abruptly, asking uncertainly, "Really?"
"Of course, I have no reason to lie to you."
He could see clearly that the cultivator surnamed Jiang's heart was destroyed, his physical body could not withstand the teleportation power and was torn into blood mist, and even his soul could not escape.
As for storage bags and the like, they are no exception.
Thank you for letting me know.
"No need to thank me, it's your turn next."
Zhang Lingyu sneered, and then stored all the usable pills in the area into her storage bag.
There were no more concerns after that.
Fan Ya's mood plummeted again. He was furious but helpless, as he was too badly injured to cope.
Needless to say, the other two are even less likely to be involved.
"Walk."
Without turning his head, he faced Zhang Lingyu alone with his gun in hand. He was the only one left who could fight. If he could hold out for a moment, he could create an opportunity for his two junior brothers to escape.
"Senior brother!"
"Walk!"
Wang and Lin's eyes instantly reddened. They were entirely to blame for the current situation; they hadn't gotten the elixir and were now about to cause their senior brother's death.
Without hesitation, they crushed the tokens, and a beam of teleportation enveloped them as they prepared to escape from the ruins.
"Having an idea isn't that easy!"
Zhang Lingyu was well aware that they intended to crush the token and escape. With a wave of his long sleeves, the flying sword that had been hidden in the shadows suddenly pierced through the pillar of light and easily removed the heads of the two men.
How could someone in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, and already severely injured, be a match for him?
"Junior brother!"
Seeing the two heads roll to the ground, Fan Ya's eyes blazed with fury, and he threw out all the talismans and magical artifacts that could be used, detonating them without hesitation.
Unfortunately... it was all in vain in the end.
A moment later, Zhang Lingyu put the three people's storage bags into his bosom, gently pinched a wisp of Burning Yuan Heart Flame, and destroyed all traces present.
In fact, he had no grudge against the three men. He could have simply taken the items and left, sparing their lives. But the struggle for the Great Dao has always been like this. If their positions were reversed, would the three men have let him go?
The answer is obvious.
Furthermore, if he lets them go and something is discovered later, not only him, but his entire family will be buried with them.
The cultivation world is not lacking in esoteric arts, and even possesses the great supernatural power of rewinding scenes. Although I cannot access it now, it does not mean that I will not encounter it in the future.
Therefore, after committing any act of murder and robbery, one must handle it with care.
Seeing that the three corpses had all turned to ashes, he immediately disappeared into the darkness and fled out of the hall. The commotion was quite significant, and within the range of his divine sense, several cultivators had already rushed over.
Now that Dingyuan Hall has been almost completely looted, there is no time to search for anything that has not yet been discovered.
Zhang Lingyu looked at the jade pendant in her hand and realized that Lin Qing and his wife were very close to her, so she quickened her pace.
Half an hour later, the two sides successfully reunited. Lin Qing looked at the blood-robed man in front of him, his eyelids twitching, and asked in surprise, "You are... Fellow Daoist Zhang?"
"Of course it's me."
"Why do you look like this..."
"It's just a little magic, but it's bound to cause a lot of bloodshed here. It's best not to reveal your true colors to avoid getting yourself into trouble."
Lin Qing took a while to recover. He looked left and right, stroked his chin and sighed, "What a brilliant spell! It even changed the aura. If the jade pendant you gave me can prove it, I will really think you are a demonic cultivator."
"This technique was obtained from a demonic cultivator. It is quite ingenious and can even deceive those at the Golden Core stage. If you are interested, fellow Daoist, please make a copy."
Zhang Lingyu smiled and asked, "Fellow Daoists, where shall we go next?"
The couple exchanged a glance and said in unison, "If you're willing, why don't we go to the Heavenly Mystery Hall now?"
