Clan Cultivation: My Intelligence Updated Daily

Chapter 224 Fierce Battle, Sect Fighting

"Brother is right. Please, Fairy Liu, come forward and fetch some water."

Luo Xuan and the others had no objections after hearing this. The Moon Marrow Spirit Water was originally found by Ouyang Miaoyan, so it was only right that she should go forward and collect it.

"Very well, I will gladly accept your offer. Please wait a moment, fellow Daoists."

Ouyang Miaoyan didn't hesitate and agreed immediately.

After she had walked a distance, Situ Zhan glanced at Zhang Lingyu and the others, and suddenly laughed, "Everyone, I think this Moon Marrow Spirit Water is only enough for five people, it's a bit insufficient."

"Fellow Daoist Situ, Fairy Liu had already said that there were only five portions of this water. We also discussed it yesterday: Fairy Liu would take two portions, and the three of us would each take one portion."

Luo Xuan was on guard, and he flicked out a talisman from his sleeve, ready to activate it at any moment. At the same time, he sneered, "If you want to double-cross me, you'd better think twice about your abilities."

"Fellow Daoists Wen and Su, what do you say?"

"Fellow Daoist is right. We are all Foundation Establishment cultivators and demonic cultivators. We should think carefully before we make a move," Zhang Lingyu replied, and the Myriad Soul Banner that he had mentioned earlier appeared in his hand at the same time.

The two brothers were not surprised to see the four of them standing on the same side, as Situ Zhan had previously harbored a lot of malice towards them.

The sarcastic remarks were tolerable; if it weren't for the fact that we hadn't reached the right place yet, we would have already resorted to underhanded tactics. Now that there are no more demonic beasts to stop us, we can unleash our full power.

Seeing this tense scene from afar, Ouyang Miaoyan smiled slightly but did not say anything to stop it. Instead, she focused on collecting the spiritual water.

Everything was just as she had hoped.

"Let them fight, let them fight until they're all bloodied and battered, then I'll reap the benefits."

The woman chuckled to herself, realizing that her success was due to using her beauty to sow discord among themselves, allowing her to profit from the chaos.

To intensify the battle, she flicked her hand, sending a cloud of pollen silently drifting towards the crowd, attempting to influence the course of the fight.

"I finally couldn't resist and made my move."

Zhang Lingyu had already seen all of this, but he wasn't in a hurry. As previously agreed, he only needed to deal with the others.

Let the Thousand Illusions Demon Palace handle its own internal affairs.

Veins bulged on Situ Zhan's forehead. Luo Xuan's provocative words had filled him with rage, and the influence of Ouyang Miaoyan had finally made him lose his temper. He grinned maliciously and said, "Very well, let me see what you all are capable of!"

The two brothers moved at the same time, a flash of blood-red light in their hands, each producing a blood-red bead, which they hurled fiercely at the four people with astonishing speed.

But who among those present wasn't someone who had fought their way out of a pile of corpses?

Without hesitation, Zhang Lingyu quickly moved aside. He could see the blood-red bead clearly; it must be some kind of disposable magic artifact, very similar to the blood bead he had obtained before.

Although these kinds of magical artifacts are meant to be used only once, their power is great and their range is wide. If you don't retreat to a safe distance in time, you can still get injured by the aftershocks.

"Boom!"

The dense crimson storm instantly engulfed the spot where the four had been standing, creating a huge crater. Situ Zhan and his companion were somewhat disappointed upon seeing this scene.

They all have some skills, otherwise they wouldn't have gotten involved in this matter.

However... there was an unexpected surprise.

Deng Ce had already suffered serious injuries in the previous battle with the demonic beast, and with the rush of travel and no time to heal, although he successfully avoided the center of the explosion, he was still hit by the aftershocks.

"Wow..."

The demonic cultivator coughed up mouthfuls of blood, throwing out all his talismans and magical artifacts to protect himself. But before he could even unfold them all, a dazzling gray light pierced through his defenses and plunged into his chest.

Intense pain instantly swept through his body. Deng Ce took several pills in a row, and then circulated his cultivation technique with all his might to force out the gray light.

But the deeper he drilled into this thing, the more the toxins it carried spread throughout his body, making it difficult for him to concentrate his magic power on one point.

In just a few breaths, his mind became increasingly foggy, and he could faint at any moment.

Deng Ce looked up with difficulty and saw that it was Situ Jian who had attacked him.

The two brothers had already discussed it beforehand. If they were to act, they had to be quick and not give anyone a chance to catch their breath. Deng Ce was the weakest among them, so he naturally became the primary target.

"What kind of poison did you put on this magical artifact...?"

Deng Ce vomited several more mouthfuls of blood, which contained some green mucus. He was unable to gather his magic power, and the antidote pills were ineffective. He had no choice but to wait for death.

What puzzled him was what kind of poison could render a Foundation Establishment cultivator helpless within a few breaths, and also corrode the physical body, causing it to rot.

"No comment."

Situ Jian coldly replied and turned to walk towards Zhang Lingyu and the others. He didn't want to waste time on someone who was about to die.

Seeing his former friend die, Luo Xuan felt no grief. Instead, he cursed, "Useless trash, how could you die so young!"

What was originally a four-on-two game has now turned into a three-on-two situation, and the disadvantage is too obvious.

There was no point in saying anything now. He simply turned to Zhang Lingyu and his wife and pleaded, "Fellow Daoist Wen, please, you two, fight the enemy together. Our survival depends on you."

He had already witnessed Fellow Daoist Wen's methods before, which were no weaker than those of the Blood Fiend Duo, and he even managed to defeat the Purple Scale Ape without using any magic.

"Rest assured, Fellow Daoist Luo, we will do our best!"

Zhang Lingyu responded with a smile, and at the same time gave Jiang Shuyan a wink. The latter immediately understood and rushed towards Ouyang Miaoyan's direction.

"What are you trying to do?"

"Trying to steal the Moon Marrow Essence Water? How utterly presumptuous!"

Situ Zhan and his group were caught off guard. Instead of properly fighting the formidable enemy, they were thinking of seizing the Moon Marrow Spirit Water. Ouyang Miaoyan was not someone to be trifled with.

Jiang Shuyan moved quickly, arriving at the pool in just over ten breaths. The alluring woman before her had already collected the spiritual water and looked at her with a smile, saying, "Fellow Daoist Su, what are you doing?"

"I've already promised you and your husband a portion of Moon Essence Water. Haste makes waste, or do you intend to keep it all for yourselves?"

Her smile grew wider and wider, yet it gave off a chilling aura.

The meaning couldn't be clearer: you want to take it all for yourself? I'm afraid you don't have the ability!

Jiang Shuyan was not affected by her threats; instead, she was amused and giggled, which gave the Situ brothers a strange feeling.

The laughter sounded so familiar, as if it came from Ouyang Miaoyan's mouth.

"What are you laughing at?" The woman's smile vanished, and her tone grew increasingly cold.

"What am I laughing at?"

Jiang Shuyan looked at her fellow disciple, her smile undiminished: "I laugh at your lack of skill, fellow Daoist. Even so, you still think I am Su Ling."

"Senior sister, open your eyes wide and look carefully! Who am I?"

To everyone's astonishment, the 'Su Ling' in front of them began to twist and contort, sometimes resembling a child and sometimes a dying woman.

It wasn't until more than ten breaths later that her true appearance was revealed!

It was an absolutely stunning face, even Ouyang Miaoyan paled in comparison. Situ Zhan, standing some distance away, was completely stunned and couldn't recover for a long time.

"Oh...it was you."

When Ouyang Miaoyan saw this face, she was first shocked, then her expression turned ferocious and angry. After a while, she calmed down and said lightly, "So it's Junior Sister Jiang. It's been a long time."

"So it was shapeshifting. No wonder I couldn't detect it."

Now she finally understood everything. After she rescued Wen Yu and his wife, they met Jiang Shuyan, who most likely revealed her information, and she naturally learned about this matter.

In order to seek revenge, they disguised themselves as them to get close to him.

Judging from their fully armed appearance, Wen Yu and his companion must have met with misfortune long ago. Their ability to answer questions fluently from the start suggests that they underwent soul searching.

"Junior sister, have you come seeking revenge?"

"Senior sister, you know perfectly well why you asked that question. You hurt me so badly in the East Sea. You know my personality; I'm always vengeful."

"Really? I just don't know if you have the ability."

Ouyang Miaoyan snorted coldly. She had already tormented the other party so badly back in the East Sea, and she could do it again today. The only variable was Wen Yu. She then turned to Zhang Lingyu and smiled.

"Since Junior Sister dared to come, she must have something to rely on. It must be this fellow Daoist. Fellow Daoist Wen, now that things have come to this, why don't you come out and meet him?"

"Senior sister also wants to see who this person is."

After he finished speaking, all eyes in the room focused on Zhang Lingyu.

Luo Xuan, who was closest, had just finished processing the information he had just received. He immediately retreated and cautiously watched the other party.

"If you are interested, fellow Daoist, why not let you see him? We're all going to die anyway."

Zhang Lingyu replied calmly, and as the transformation spell was lifted, her appearance and figure returned to their original state.

"Immortal cultivators?"

Everyone who sensed the man's aura showed expressions of disbelief. Jiang Shuyan was, after all, a demonic cultivator, yet she was having an affair with a celestial cultivator.

What's outrageous is that this immortal cultivator actually agreed.

"Immortal cultivator, junior sister is quite bold. Aren't you afraid of getting yourself into trouble? Besides, this fellow cultivator is only at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage. He doesn't seem to be of much use."

Ouyang Miaoyan was first taken aback, then found it somewhat amusing. What use was a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator? At least a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator would be more presentable. Her previous worries vanished instantly, and she looked at Situ Zhan, saying:

"Fellow Daoist Situ, please help this young lady! If you kill this man, you will be richly rewarded!"

"At that time, you can choose either my junior sister or me, fellow cultivator..."

"Haha, how could I refuse such a warm welcome from Fairy Liu?"

Situ Zhan had been waiting for these words. His greedy gaze had been scanning the two women incessantly. Jiang Shuyan's figure and appearance were no less than 'Fairy Liu's'. It seemed he was in for a treat this time.

Besides, only a fool would make a choice; he wants it all!

Jiang Shuyan remained unmoved by these words, instead retorting sarcastically, "Senior Sister thinks too highly of them. My fellow Daoist is no ordinary person... he is..."

"Alright... Fellow Daoist Jiang, you're talking too much!"

Zhang Lingyu abruptly interrupted her, then looked at Luo Xuan behind her and said calmly, "Fellow Daoist Luo, are you planning to stand by and watch?"

"Hehe, fellow Daoist is a celestial cultivator, while we are all demonic cultivators. There is absolutely no reason for us to cooperate!" Luo Xuan refused without hesitation after hearing this.

"Fellow Daoist is indeed decisive. Although I am a cultivator of the Immortal Path, haven't I also cooperated with Fellow Daoist Jiang? You have offended the Blood Fiend Duo; how could they possibly let you off the hook?"

"They're targeting you, not me. I may not be very good at this, but I do have some skill in escaping. Fellow Daoist, you'd better watch yourself."

Taking advantage of the fact that everyone's attention was on Zhang Lingyu, Luo Xuan knew this was a good opportunity and did not hesitate to use his escape technique to flee the place.

"pity..."

Zhang Lingyu was slightly disappointed. He had hoped that the insect would help him hold off one person to share the burden, but it seemed that was not possible. So he made a hand seal and slapped the insect pouch hard!

A swarm of dark, soul-devouring bees burst forth from within, completely surrounding the area in just a few breaths!

Two of them were larger, and under his command, they pounced on Luo Xuan as he fled. In the past two years, in order to improve his strength as soon as possible, he fed the Soul-Devouring Bees at all costs, and finally a second queen bee was born.

The speed of the Soul-Devouring Bees was astonishing. Before Luo Xuan had gone far, he was surrounded by two queen bees, his path blocked, and his heart sank.

But which Foundation Establishment demon cultivator doesn't have some tricks up their sleeve?

As several bloody handprints were struck, swarms of Soul-Devouring Bees fell from mid-air, and a large hole was torn open in the previously constructed wall.

Without hesitation, he increased his speed again, preparing to break out in one fell swoop.

Seeing their prey about to escape, the two queen bees were not about to allow it. They immediately led the swarm to block the breach and then launched another attack.

As the swarm of bees gathered here, Luo Xuan slowly sank into the mire. The Soul-Devouring Bees were everywhere, gnawing holes in his robes and magical artifacts.

We can't delay any longer.

With a determined heart, the demonic cultivator prepared to gather all his magical power in his palm, ignoring the bees biting his body, determined to carve out a path to survival.

Just as he was concentrating, his head suddenly felt dizzy and his vision blurred. The magical power he had painstakingly gathered almost dissipated.

Luo Xuan immediately realized that this was a spell targeting the soul, so he bit his tongue hard to force himself to wake up.

Before he could make any move, he felt a piercing pain in his back. He slowly looked down and saw that his chest had been pierced by three bloody holes.

The Soul-Eating Bees also found a rare opportunity. Led by the queen bee, they kept burrowing inside, eating whatever they encountered.

"hiss..."

As his consciousness began to fade, the demonic cultivator's eyes flashed with ruthlessness. He was about to self-destruct and take the spirit insects with him when pain surged through his mind once again.

The next second it collapsed to the ground, allowing the swarm of bees to devour it.

Seeing this scene from afar, Situ Zhan felt a chill run down his spine. In such a short time, a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator had already perished.

Zhang Lingyu barely made a move throughout the entire process, only using a spirit insect, a magic weapon, and a Soul-Destroying Thorn.

He suddenly realized that he shouldn't have made such a boastful statement.

The burly man looked at his younger brother with a wry smile and sent a message asking, "What should we do?"

What should we do?

Situ Jian's mind was also in turmoil. It was too late to say anything now; the other party would definitely not let him go. He replied:

"With our combined strength, we should be able to hold them off for a while. Once Fairy Liu has dealt with her junior sister, she'll naturally be able to help us."

"Let's get started."
