As the Universe Turns - Chapter 412
Chapter 412 Backwater
After saying that, Luo Die took out the Hundred Refinements Root and handed it to him. Xiao Chen took the Hundred Refinements Root and said, “Ordinary playing will not consume your cultivation. However, if you use Fuxi Zither’s divine power, it will consume Genuine energy. You must pay attention.” Without further delay, he immediately entered the cave and took out all the medicine furnaces.
Luo Die glanced in the direction of the valley entrance and did not hesitate. She immediately set up a few illusion formations and killing formations near the cave. When people rushed over, they would probably be able to resist a little.
Finally, after everything was done, she slowly walked to the entrance of the cave and sat down cross-legged. She placed the jade zither on her knees. At this moment, there was no longer any panic on her face. Her expression was extremely calm. Her hands gently played the zither strings and the zither sounds swayed out of the valley with the wind.
Soon, the zither sound attracted the three of them, but even without the zither sound, it wouldn’t be difficult for the three of them to find this cave.
“Little Lady, it turns out that she’s hiding here. Hehe …”
Seeing Luo Die playing the zither at the entrance of the cave, Old Evil laughed coldly and walked up. However, as if he was an experienced person, he naturally did not put down his guard at all. Especially when he was almost shot by Xiao Chen’s Blood Transformation Needle just now. At this moment, he became exceptionally cautious.
“Wait, watch out for cheating!”
Behind him, Xing Xiangzi pressed down on his shoulder and stared into the cave. However, he could only see a glimmer of light and nothing else.
Luo Die’s face remained calm, as if she didn’t see the three of them at all. The more she acted like this, the more Old Evil and the other two felt that there was deceit in it, and they didn’t dare to rashly go over.
“Little lady, do you know that you can’t escape? Why don’t you just play the zither here? Don’t be anxious. Wait until you return to the Burning Evil Sect with me, you can play whatever you want. I’ll play for you … hehe.”
Listening to his dirty words, Luo Die still ignored him. She gently raised her hands and slowly plucked them. The zither music remained undisturbed. Although she had time to set up an illusion array near the entrance of the cave, it was still not enough to last until Xiao Chen recovered. Therefore, she could delay for a moment now.
The three of them listened not far away for a while, but didn’t recognize anything. Lu Lijiang walked to Xing Xiangzi’s side and whispered, “Xing Xiangzi, this zither tune is high and low. Do you recognize anything?”
Xing Xiangzi remained silent, but Old Evil took a heavy step forward and sneered, “Everyone calls me Old Evil. Today, I really don’t believe in this evil. Let’s see what tricks you can come up with!”
After saying that, he took large strides towards the cave. However, not long after, Luo Die’s zither suddenly emitted a murderous aura. Not far in front of her, dozens of golden sword qi suddenly emerged from the ground and slashed straight at Monster Old Evil’s legs.
“Aiyo!”
Old Evil was shocked by the sword qi. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and retreated back in time. Otherwise, he would have even had his feet cut off by the sharp sword qi.
“You, you, you … you little bitch, you’re too vicious. You almost lost Guai Laoxie’s legs! Don’t you think people will call me lame and evil in the future?”
The old man was so angry that he pointed and jumped. His appearance was quite funny. Lu Li Jiang glared at him and spat, “I’ll make you pervert your mind. Don’t look at this little bitch’s harmless appearance. Killing people is probably even more powerful than killing you, Guai Laoxie!”
“If you say that, then it seems that this little lady has killed a lot of people. There are hundreds of people who have died under her legs, if not thousands. It’s a pity …”
Guai Laoxie muttered as he slowly retreated. Previously, the three of them had been able to chase Luo Die all the way because of the sudden incident. Luo Die did not have time to set up the formation. Now that he had set up the illusion formation and the killing formation, with Xiao Chen’s Fuxi Zither in hand, he could defend against the three of them for a moment.
The three of them wandered around outside for a while and heard Luo Die finish playing a song. Suddenly, a strand of medicinal fragrance came out of the cave. Guai Laoxie immediately shouted, “Damn it! That kid is refining medicine inside! When he recovers, the three of us won’t be able to eat anymore!”
The other two also reacted. Just as they were about to step forward to check, Luo Die’s zither string trembled and three purple rays flew out. They immediately activated the array formation they had set up earlier and blocked the three of them out.
“That brat is refining medicine inside. Let’s think of a way to break this formation first!”
Lu Lijiang formed a seal with both hands and took out a magic treasure. However, when he saw the blood mist surrounding the magic treasure, he didn’t know what kind of sacrifice it was made from. As he chanted the incantation incantation, the magic treasure suddenly increased a lot and quickly rushed into the formation. With a “rumble”, the entire cave trembled violently.
Xing Xiangzi and Guai Laoxie also took out their magic treasures and continued to bombard the illusion formation at the entrance of the cave. These three were at the peak of the Dao Harmonization Realm, and magic treasures were not ordinary items. Luo Die had to endure the attacks of the three of them at the same time, so it naturally became more strenuous. However, the zither sound in his hands remained calm.
The three of them attacked outside for a moment, and the formation gradually loosened. A layer of cold sweat had already condensed on Luo Die’s back. However, when she smelled the medicinal fragrance floating out of the cave behind her, she knew that Xiao Chen was about to succeed in refining the medicine. At this moment, she was guarding outside, so she must not lose anything.
“This kid’s medicine is about to be refined. Quick!”
Smelling the medicinal fragrance floating out of the cave, the three people outside gradually became anxious. Being able to take things away from the Golden Feather Pavilion, they clearly understood the cultivation of the young man inside the cave. Once the other party recovered, it would be akin to the awakening of a fierce tiger. It would be easy to kill the three of them.
“Little bitch Wu, quickly stop!”
Guai Laoxie was extremely anxious. With a swipe of his finger, a layer of True Essence instantly enveloped his entire body. After finding a damaged corner of the formation, his entire body flew towards Luo Die like an arrow that had left the bowstring with a “whoosh” sound.
“Little bitch, if you fall into Guai Laoxie’s hands, you will definitely be taught how to feel!”
Guai Laoxie’s expression was ferocious. When Luo Die saw him break through the formation and fly towards him, his face remained calm. He placed his finger on the string and suddenly circulated the Genuine energy. At this moment, the seven strings suddenly burst into dazzling light. Guai Laoxie saw that something was wrong, but he could no longer restrain himself.
With a zheng sound, the zither sound slashed out horizontally like sharp sword qi, unstoppable. Guai Laoxie swiftly circulated his cultivation to protect his body, but with a bang, he was still sent flying back by the zither sound, causing him to be in a sorry state.
“You …”
Guai Laoxie had never expected that the zither sound would be so powerful. If such a magic treasure fell into his hands, wouldn’t it be able to split open mountains and split rocks, and even cultivators at the Profound Comprehension Realm wouldn’t be able to withstand it?
For a moment, he saw a hint of greed in his eyes, but his face remained calm as he looked at Lu Lijiang and Xingxiangzi, “That little lady’s magic treasure zither is so powerful. Are you guys going to just stare at it like this and not make a move?”
“Naturally, I have to make a move.”
Xing Xiangzi’s eyes were cold as he swept through the dust. His entire body was like an arrow that had left the string, and he suddenly flew into the array.
