The Great Wild God - Chapter 185
Chapter 185 Fallen Grass Is the Bandits Again
(Third watch, Chen Xun was stunned. He really didn’t know what kind of mental illness the purple-robed woman was suffering from, and she actually wanted to drag them down together to become bandits.
Chen Xun was hiding his identity. The coachman did it, the bitter slave did it, and Luo Cao did it for Kou.
In order to stabilize the purple-clothed woman, Chen Xun didn’t mind playing role with the purple-clothed woman first, but how could Li Yu agree to such an absurd thing?
Li Yu blamed himself deeply for Crimson Maple Castle’s miserable defeat, so he was ashamed to return to the Thousand Swords Sect to face Ji Lie and his fellow disciples and hide here to heal his injuries. He vowed to kill Wei Guan to avenge the tragic death of the disciples of the sect.
Now that Li Yu had agreed to let the purple-clothed woman kill him, Chen Xun felt that it would be easier for him to kill him in front of the stone wall.
Seeing that Li Yu’s expression changed drastically and he had no intention of wronging the purple-clothed woman any longer, Chen Xun felt terrible. He couldn’t figure out the purple-clothed woman’s temper. He thought to himself that even if this female devil didn’t break out on the spot and left them here to be cleaned up by Jiang Xingkong, they would still be on the verge of death.
‘”Cough,” Chen Xun coughed twice before Li Yu rejected the purple-robed woman. He cut off Li Yu’s words and said to the purple-robed woman, “If Senior really wants to set up a sect in the Sand Sea, this junior will naturally work hard for you. But this broken stronghold is too shabby, will it lose Senior’s reputation?”
The purple-clothed woman looked around at the stone cave in disgust. There were only a few broken walls left outside. Needless to say, this naturally formed stone cave in front of her could only gather spiritual energy within a radius of several kilometers. It was not even half a spirit cave.
Spiritual veins and acupoints were usually the most important foundations of a sect. Whether it was cultivating for disciples, nurturing spirit herbs, raising spirit beasts, or refining medicinal pills and artifacts, they all required sufficient spiritual energy.
If there weren’t any naturally formed spiritual acupoints and veins, the sect wouldn’t be unable to establish a foothold. Normally, they could set up mountain protection formations in the heavens and earth, using the formations to gather the spiritual energy from hundreds or even thousands of kilometers of heaven and earth.
However, this mountain protection array was different from the usual one in terms of spirit acupoints and spirit veins. It could be said that the world was used as a spirit acupoint and spirit furnace.
Normally, mountain protection formations would combine the two. They would set up spiritual acupoints and spiritual veins, absorb spiritual energy and circulate the formation. Then, they would envelop mountains, rivers, lakes, and marshes within a radius of tens of kilometers, not allowing spiritual energy to disperse.
No matter what, this damaged village was not a good place to start a sect. It was barely enough for two or three people to survive here.
Chen Xun flattered him beautifully, but the purple-robed woman stared at him vigilantly and said,
“Why do you pay so much attention to robbing people?”
Chen Xun chuckled and said, “Isn’t this junior considerate for Senior? Besides, Senior doesn’t want the sect to know about this matter at this time, but there is no wall in this world that is impervious to the wind. If news of this goes back to Senior’s sect in the future, Senior would like to know that Senior is occupying this dilapidated stronghold.”
After saying those words, Chen Xun was secretly pleased with himself. He couldn’t understand how the purple-robed woman would refute his grand theory.
“I’ll just kill you two then. Who else would know that I’ve robbed a house here?” The purple-robed woman said disdainfully, “I know what you’re thinking. This stronghold is most likely broken by the disciples of Qiyun Mountain. Do you want to provoke me to attack Crimson Maple Castle? Do you really think I’m that easy to deceive?”
Chen Xun was stunned. He hadn’t expected that the purple-robed woman would guess his intentions before he could say anything. He smiled and knew that the purple-robed woman acted straightforwardly. It was really hard to understand her thoughts. It was simply not possible for him to lead her by the nose.
“Senior, if you attack Scarlet Maple Castle, Li Yu is willing to serve you.” Li Yu said resolutely.
Li Yu also understood what Chen Xun meant. As Ji Lie’s senior brother, he had a high status in the Thousand Swords Sect. However, if he could kill Wei Guan to avenge his fellow disciples, he could hide his name and fight with the purple-clothed woman and Wu Xun in this sandy sea.
Otherwise, Li Yushi didn’t know if he would have the chance to avenge his fellow disciples in this lifetime.
Chen Xun did everything he could to lure her into it. The purple-clothed woman hated him so much that she kicked him into a baked cake on the stone wall. She didn’t expect that Li Yu, who didn’t say anything, would bargain with her on the condition of occupying Crimson Maple Castle. She asked, “You guys have been fighting and killing all day, robbing your houses for your livelihood. Occasionally, you would ask someone to kill one or two people. Do you have the nerve to shout and seek revenge?”
Since he had decided to drop the grass, he must not implicate the reputation of the Thousand Sword Sect. Li Yu’s old face turned red, but he did not say a word.
“Senior said on the way that Qiyun Mountain had sent people to block the surrounding underground springs. Is there any explanation for this?” Chen Xun suddenly remembered what the purple-robed woman had said to himself before meeting Jiang Xingkong.
“Of course,” said the purple-clothed woman. “Some people say that the Eye Spirit Spring in Scarlet Maple Castle is connected to the underground cavern. Others say that after twenty years of tremors, the underground spirit veins opened and connected to the spirit spring. Only the disciples of Scarlet Maple Castle know whether it is the underground cavern or the spirit veins. I’m idle, so I ran over to take a look and left.”
Being chased like a stray dog by Jiang Xingkong’s troops, Chen Xun suspected that the purple-clothed woman really had the leisure to run to Crimson Maple Fort to see the Spiritual Spring.
If there was a spirit vein that was of value in establishing a sect, it wouldn’t be difficult to explain why Qiyun Mountain had sent so many disciples to clean up the sand pirate camps in the sand sea and fill in the springs in the past ten years.
Most of the underground springs were connected. Only by blocking the springs in other oases and pirate camps could one ensure that the Spiritual Veins or Spiritual Acupoints that seeped into the underground springs would eventually leak out from the Scarlet Maple Fort Spiritual Springs and be used by the Scarlet Maple Fort family.
Pursuing the Dao to cultivate was actually stealing the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth.
From this point of view, there was nothing wrong.
“Mount Qiyun has occupied the Scarlet Maple Oasis. It has been a hundred years since the fortress was built. Twenty years ago, after the Spiritual Spring was poured out, six Reincarnation cultivators were sent to guard it.” Chen Xun said. ‘”Senior, don’t underestimate these six Reincarnation Cultivators. Behind them, there are also the Four Fiends Formation, the Eight Phoenix Flame Sea Formation, and other mountain protection formations to defend against foreign enemies. As for Mansion of Marquis Martial and Mount Qiyun, Jiang Xingkong will most likely arrive at the Scarlet Maple Fort. Even if the three of us want to occupy the Fort, there is absolutely no chance. We still need to consider it from the long term …”
The purple-robed woman smiled coldly at Chen Xun, disdaining his clumsy provocation.
He took out the azure jade cart from his bag of holding and threw it into the open space in front of the stone hall. The light turned into a thirty to forty zhang square azure jade cart with a complete door. Before the purple-robed woman got into the cart, she said, “Do you want to cut the grass? Give me a word tomorrow. Otherwise, I won’t stay here to treat the two of you.”
*******************
“Senior Li, taking down Crimson Maple Castle wasn’t done in a day. This matter requires us to lay a foundation here first. However, we have to consider it from a long-term perspective. Do you think that when our troops are strong, this stronghold will be useless? Senior, can’t she think of a way to take down Crimson Maple Castle and establish a sect?”
Chen Xun knew that the purple-robed woman would listen to him, but he could only use this to persuade Li Yu.
Even if they were to fall out with the purple-clothed woman, they still had to wait for him and Li Yu to recover. Otherwise, how would he and Li Yu face the pursuers of the Marquis Manor of Yuan Dynasty when the purple-clothed woman left tomorrow?
The purple-clothed woman said that the Eight Desolate Flag had taken root on the ground, and it would be difficult to move anywhere else in a short period of time, so Jiang Xingkong would not be able to be free. However, through the Eight Desolate Flag, Jiang Xingkong’s spiritual sense was extremely powerful and seemed to swallow the Eight Desolates’ aura. Even if he was in a stone cave, he faintly felt like he was being watched.
This meant that Jiang Xingkong could sense that they were walking into the remnant cold and into the stone cave. Once they were separated from the purple-robed woman, Jiang Xingkong would most likely send someone to kill them to vent his hatred.
If Jiang Xingkong hadn’t been injured by him today, he wouldn’t have been in such a sorry state.
Li Yu raised his eyes to look at the dim dome of the grotto. He let out a long sigh and said to Chen Xun, “Alright, alright, alright. In short, I have no face to return to the sect. I will listen to Brother Wu for everything.”
At this moment, the purple-clothed woman suddenly pushed open the car door and stood in the car with her hips on her back.
After saying that, she took out the bronze pillar that had previously suppressed Jiang Xingkong from her storage.
At first, the Coiling Dragon Copper Pillar was only as thick as an embroidered needle. It grew as long as the wind blew. In an instant, it grew fifteen or sixteen feet away. It was stuck between the ground and the dome of the stone acupoint. The Coiling Dragon Divine Dragon Statue came alive. It opened its mouth and let out a thunderous roar. Chen Xun only felt that the air in the stone acupoint was being sucked in by the Coiling Dragon Divine Dragon.
In the blink of an eye, a faint green Spiritual Qi emerged from the stone wall. It was tens or hundreds of times faster than the speed at which the stone acupoint had gathered Spiritual Qi using the natural terrain.
“Give me your broken spirit swallowing array,” the purple-robed woman said to Chen Xun. “Let me see, that broken spirit swallowing array isn’t completely useless …”
Of course, Chen Xun understood the purple-robed woman’s intentions.
The Spirit Gathering Formation gathered and did not swallow. In other words, the formation could gather the surrounding spiritual energy, but it did not absorb it into the formation. Only then could it form a dense vortex of spiritual energy for one to cultivate in.
At this moment, the movement of the Coiling Dragon Copper Pillar absorbing Spiritual Qi was tremendous. It swallowed Cloud Qi, causing the world to tremble. However, after absorbing enough Spiritual Qi, the Coiling Dragon Copper Pillar would no longer absorb Spiritual Qi. It was essentially different from the Spirit Gathering Origin Formation.
If the Spirit Gathering Formation was modified to treat the Coiling Dragon Tung Pillar as a component of the Spirit Gathering Formation, and if it was combined with the Spirit Gathering Formation disk, it would be a true Spirit Gathering Formation. The Spiritual Qi vortex formed by it would be more than enough for the purple-clothed woman to cultivate, let alone Chen Xun and Li Yu …
However, the Spirit Gathering Formation was too tiny compared to the copper pillar in front of him. Chen Xun didn’t think that by removing the disk array of the Spirit Gathering Formation, he would be able to form a new Spirit Gathering Formation with the copper pillar array. Unless he could refine an extremely large disk array …
Chen Xun remembered that he had a four-pillar Mountain and River Array in his hand. If he could really cooperate with the four-pillar Mountain and River Array and refine a new Spirit Gathering Array and send it to the Frost Lake, wouldn’t Old Kui be able to absorb spiritual energy and recover his divine soul at a double speed?
The purple-robed woman took over the Spirit Gathering Formation Chen Xun handed over, scratched her head, and muttered to herself, “This formation looks crude, but if you look closely, there are some tricks. Where should I carve this seal first?”
Chen Xun thought to himself, “Young Master Purple-clothed said that she has a mid-Heaven Origin Realm cultivation. It should be easy to analyze the Spirit Gathering Formation. I never thought that he would stand there for half a day. In the end, the purple-clothed woman angrily threw the Spirit Gathering Formation onto the ground.”
