#2838 - Lure the tiger away from the mountain

Forgotten Town.

The higher-ups of various Daoist lineages watched the changes in points on the light screen of the formation.

At this moment, many people showed strange expressions, and some looked quite displeased.

The elders of the Jinyun Immortal Sect, however, revealed a long-lost smile.

They were finally relieved.

Yuan Chu and Su Qingqian's points had stagnated for quite some time.

To the point that they were uncertain about what exactly they had encountered inside the Land of Forgotten.

Was it a fortuitous encounter that delayed them, or were they being hunted by powerful enemies and forced to hide?

Now it seemed that they had indeed had a fortuitous encounter, delaying them and causing their points to remain stagnant.

Now that they had completed something more important, they had begun to hunt the creatures of the underground alien world again.

Just now, both Yuan Chu and Su Qingqian's points had increased, especially Yuan Chu's, which increased rapidly.

His points had actually soared by more than a thousand in a short period.

Each time it increased, the points rolled over by hundreds.

Clearly, they were killing creatures in the Immortal Realm, and not just those who had just entered the Immortal Realm.

Because underground creatures who had just entered the Immortal Realm were worth at most one hundred points, Yuan Chu's points increased by more than one hundred each time!

“Heh heh, don't be smug. Increasing points by more than a thousand in such a short time is not something a disciple of the Eternal Life Realm can do. No matter how heaven-defying their immortal talent, they absolutely cannot do it!

It can only be said that the two peerless talents of your Jinyun Immortal Sect have heaven-defying luck and have picked up a bargain.

The situation in the Land of Forgotten is complex, and there are some special places.

I think it is mostly that creatures from the underground alien world strayed into a desperate situation and were injured by the field of the desperate situation, and were already on their last breath, and happened to be encountered by your Jinyun Immortal Sect's Yuan Chu and Su Qingqian.

Having luck is a good thing, but luck is not something that can last forever.

Could it be that they can keep encountering such good things!

So far, they have only had dog shit luck twice, and their total points are only a little over a thousand.

The point value is far from our strongest inner sect pride!”

An elder of the Xuanyuan Immortal Sect stroked his beard, speaking in a strange and sarcastic tone, and sneered after speaking.

“Yes, Fellow Daoist Xuanyuan is right, Yuan Chu only has a little over a thousand points, and your inner sect pride has over ten thousand.

The difference in points between the two is huge.

So, why are you in such a hurry here, Fellow Daoist?

To say, with such a huge difference in points, Fellow Daoist shouldn't be so inferior to the point of using sarcastic words to find confidence for yourself, when you are clearly leading by seven or eight times, right?”

“Would I be inferior?”

The elders of the Xuanyuan Immortal Sect trembled with anger.

“Who is inferior? Your Yuan Chu only has a little over a thousand points, you are the ones who are inferior, not us!

What a joke, saying that the first in points is inferior here!”

“Heh, this old man didn't say that the first in points is inferior.

The person who is first in points is definitely not inferior.

It's just that it's hard to say for you elders.

Otherwise, why would you be unable to restrain yourselves from lowering your status and saying sarcastic words when you see the disciples of other Daoist lineages increasing their points slightly faster?

Isn't this a sign of being insecure?

When your disciples' points soared, did you see us say anything?”

“What could you say? Praise our inner sect pride for being excellent?

Hahaha, you didn't say anything because your disciples are not good enough!”

“Everything you say is right, your oral skills are quite good, but until the end, what's the point of showing off your oral skills here? No matter how flexible your tongue is, and how good your oral skills are, it's useless. We still have to look at the final result.”

“You!”

The faces of the elders of the Xuanyuan Immortal Sect turned red with anger.

“Vulgar, your mouth is full of vulgar words!

You are also a dignified elder of a top-tier Daoist lineage, yet you actually utter such unbearable words!”

They almost exploded with anger, the other party actually deliberately turned '口舌' (mouth and tongue) into '口活' (oral job)!

“I didn't expect that you cultivators would have such filthy thoughts.

When this old man said you were showing off your oral skills, I meant you were showing off your words, but you thought of that kind of thing.

I have to say, you fellow Daoists are quite playful.”

“Hmph! We won't argue with you uncouth people!

We'll wait and see whose points are higher in the end!

I'm afraid that your two peerless talents won't even be able to reach the fraction of the points of my sect's inner sect pride!”

The elders of the Xuanyuan Immortal Sect didn't want to argue with the elders of the Jinyun Immortal Sect.

The other party's way of fighting back was unconventional. Continuing would not be advantageous, and would only make them look embarrassed, and would instead make the people of other Daoist lineages laugh.

The higher-ups of the Leiji Immortal Palace and the Luoxian Dao Earth watched the excitement from the sidelines, with expressions that were somewhat trying to hold back their laughter but unable to completely do so.

……

Inside the Land of Forgotten, Jun Wuxie and his companions were quietly tracking the Ghost Witch creature that had been deliberately let go.

They maintained a certain distance, locking on with their divine senses.

The soul of that Ghost Witch creature was far less powerful than theirs and had not discovered them at all.

Along the way, he was still rejoicing that he had survived and could bring the news back.

Little did he know that Yuan Chu was following behind him at this time.

After two days of rushing, the Ghost Witch creature was finally about to reach its destination.

At this time, Jun Wuxie also sensed a trace of abnormal spatial fluctuations.

Looking at the Ghost Witch creature again, he suddenly stopped and looked ahead, looking relieved.

Jun Wuxie determined that not far ahead should be the passage connecting the underground alien space world.

Continuing for a distance, a distance covered by a field appeared.

The naked eye could not see anything.

But for the Primordial Rune Master, he could see that the field here concealed the true scene.

That was a valley, very deep, and the abnormal spatial fluctuations came from the deepest part of the valley.

Arriving here, Jun Wuxie did not intend to let the Ghost Witch creature continue forward.

He suddenly accelerated, suddenly appeared, flashing like a stream of light in front of the Ghost Witch creature.

The Ghost Witch creature was originally full of ease, finally coming back.

But unexpectedly, his eyes blurred, and he saw that Yuan Chu had actually appeared in front of him, without warning.

He was shocked!

“You!”

He exclaimed, about to shout, to pass the message to the people in the valley.

A palm world covered over, instantly enveloping him, causing his voice to stop abruptly, unable to spread out.

The Ghost Witch creature only felt his vision blur, the world spinning, and then the scene in his eyes changed drastically, appearing in a space that was dark all around, unable to see anything.

“Where is this?

Yuan Chu, where have you locked me up, let me out!

You damned human cultivator, you will pay the price for your stupid actions!”

The Ghost Witch creature roared hoarsely, frantically crashing around in the dark space.

However, this space was vast and boundless, a void, no matter how he crashed, it was useless.

It was too dark, even if he emitted light, the light would be instantly swallowed, unable to see anything, a black nothingness, like falling into an endless abyss of darkness.

“Stop howling.”

A cold voice sounded in the dark space.

Suddenly, there was a glimmer of light in the boundless dark space.

That light quickly became as blazing as the scorching sun.

“Yuan Chu!”

With light, the Ghost Witch creature saw the person clearly, he stared coldly, “You dare to scheme against me, follow me here, do you want to die?

This is extremely close to my world's entrance, I advise you to quickly release me, otherwise you will suffer unimaginable consequences!”

Jun Wuxie did not speak, his palm stretched out, grabbing into the void.

The Ghost Witch creature screamed, being captured by him, no matter how he struggled, it was useless.

“Yuan Chu, let me go!

You followed me here, what exactly do you want to do, are you crazy?”

The Ghost Witch creature could not understand.

This Yuan Chu, clearly knowing that he had become a hunting target, not hiding was one thing, but actually following him here.

Jun Wuxie still did not respond, a blazing soul light condensed in his brow, then gathered into a beam, piercing straight into the Ghost Witch creature's mind.

The Ghost Witch creature screamed, his face full of pain, struggling frantically.

Jun Wuxie used the Soul Searching Technique.

Before searching the soul, he first used his powerful soul power to suppress and imprison his primordial spirit, unscrupulously extracting his sea of consciousness memories.

In this process, he was very cautious, deliberately avoiding information related to the secrets of the Ghost Witch clan in the core of his sea of consciousness.

There were restrictions in the sea of consciousness of the Ghost Witch clan's creatures. Once touched, their sea of consciousness memories would be instantly erased.

Jun Wuxie's move was not to explore the secrets of the Ghost Witch clan, but purely to obtain his ordinary memories.

Before long, Jun Wuxie finished extracting his memories and casually threw away the Ghost Witch creature.

The Ghost Witch creature had become somewhat demented.

Forcibly searching the soul caused great damage to his primordial spirit and sea of consciousness. In a short time, he would not be able to recover.

Jun Wuxie also did not kill him.

Just in case, it was better to keep this Ghost Witch creature for the time being.

It was impossible to determine whether this Ghost Witch creature had left something like a soul lamp or soul tablet in their stronghold.

After all, he was the leader of that group of Ghost Witch creatures.

Extracting his memory information, Jun Wuxie planned to enter the underground alien space world with his identity to facilitate his actions.

If the Ghost Witch high-level in that world knew that this Ghost Witch creature was already dead, and he went there with his identity, wouldn't he be directly exposed?

He came out from the Eight-Nine Profound Palace space, and the Xuanming Flood Dragon stuck to him, “That Ghost Witch creature, did you kill him?”

“No, I can't kill him for the time being.

You and Qingqian now go to my artifact space.”

After Jun Wuxie finished speaking, he didn't wait for them to respond, and directly led them into the Eight-Nine Profound Palace.

Then, he used the Eight-Nine Profound Technique, and with a shake, he transformed into the appearance of that Ghost Witch creature.

His aura, appearance, and demeanor were all exactly the same, without the slightest hint of abnormality.

Even everything within his body had changed.

Afterward, he continued forward, entering the valley covered by the field, and soon arrived at the deepest part of the valley.

There was a spatial passage there, guarded by several Ghost Witch creatures nearby.

Seeing him arrive, the Ghost Witch creatures stepped forward to greet him.

However, noticing his somewhat disheveled appearance and the fact that he had returned alone, the Ghost Witch creatures guarding the passage were inwardly alarmed.

They wanted to ask, but decided to hold back.

After all, their positions and status were clear, and they feared that he might be in a foul mood due to the mission's failure, and they might be used as a punching bag if they inquired.

Jun Wuxie deliberately wore a gloomy face, nodded to the guards at the passage as a response, and then entered the spatial passage.

Soon, he emerged from the spatial passage and looked at the world before him.

This world was very dim, with a cold and gloomy atmosphere, giving people a sense of oppression.

Of course, this was only for normal human cultivators.

For the Ghost Witch race, it was perhaps the environment they favored.

Based on the memories extracted from the Ghost Witch creature's sea of consciousness, Jun Wuxie walked towards a nearby town.

That was precisely the Ghost Witch creatures' stronghold in this area.

After returning to the town, he went directly to see the Ghost Witch Protector.

"What's going on? Why are you in such a disheveled state, and why have you returned alone?"

The Protector's expression was somewhat gloomy when he saw him.

"Protector, we suffered from an information gap!

That Yuan Chu's strength is extremely high, far beyond our expectations!

Yuan Chu is not in the Legendary Realm at all, but in the Eternal Realm, possibly even at the Eternal Peak!

Coupled with his peerless immortal talent, the ten of us Immortals joined forces, but not only could we not do anything to him, but we were also counter-killed!

If I hadn't run fast, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to return alive!

It's not that your subordinate is afraid of death, but your subordinate knows that I must bring the news back, otherwise our people will continue to suffer!"

"Is that so?

So, the Imperial Boat deceived us?"

"I don't think so, the Imperial Boat has never seen Yuan Chu before, after all.

Yuan Chu is good at hiding his strength, I'm afraid that no one who has fought with him knows that he is not Legendary but Eternal Peak!"

The Ghost Witch Protector was silent upon hearing this.

After a while, he said in a deep voice: "How many rounds did you fight before you were counter-killed?"

"Less than thirty rounds!"

"What?" The Ghost Witch Protector was shocked, "Even if he is a Sixteenth-Grade peerless immortal talent, in the Eternal Peak Realm, he shouldn't have such strength!"

"Yes, this Yuan Chu is an anomaly.

That Su Qingqian is also peerless, with an immortal talent one grade lower than Yuan Chu, but her strength is far inferior.

Therefore, that Yuan Chu is special and cannot be measured by the standards of other peerless talents!

Your subordinate believes that only a Half-Step Creation Realm expert can deal with Yuan Chu.

Moreover, we don't know what opportunities Yuan Chu has had in the past.

Such a person, with such terrifying combat power at the Eternal Peak, probably has other trump cards on him.

Therefore, even a Half-Step Creation Realm expert may not be able to keep him!"

"Hmph, damn it, I really didn't expect that the Jinyun Immortal Sect would produce such a monster!

First there was Hua Feiyu, and now there is Yuan Chu!

Hua Feiyu has already grown up, and it is impossible to kill him now.

But this Yuan Chu's realm is still low, and we must kill him no matter what!

Otherwise, when Yuan Chu grows up in the future, he will inevitably cause huge casualties to us!

It's just that we shouldn't completely fall out with the top Dao lineages of Yuzhou now, and we must maintain a tacit bottom line.

Among the disciples at our level, there is no Half-Step Creation Realm expert, so it is difficult to deal with Yuan Chu!"

"Protector, perhaps we can ask those Kings Among Geniuses for help.

Isn't the youngest generation of Kings Among Geniuses in the Immortal Realm?

Among them are Immortal Peaks, and there are also Half-Step Creation Realm experts.

That Yuan Chu is a direct disciple, not an inner disciple.

If we also send disciples of equal status, as long as their realm does not reach the true Creation Realm, their escorting true disciples do not seem to have a reason to intervene.

In this way, we should be able to ensure foolproof success and strangle that Yuan Chu in the cradle of growth!"

"Yes, you are right, that's the only way for now.

It's just that to invite a King Among Geniuses, with this Protector's status, I can't just send a talisman to invite them, I have to make a trip myself.

Next, you guys stay in this stronghold and wait for this Protector to invite the King Among Geniuses before we talk about anything else.

Go down and heal your wounds."

The Ghost Witch Protector flicked his finger, and a dark red pill flew into Jun Wuxie's hand.

"Thank you, Protector."

"I'm leaving, watch over this stronghold."

After the Protector finished speaking, he left, turned into a black light, broke through the air, and disappeared.

"You're gone, and there's no Chaos Realm expert in this place, so it's easier for me to act."

Looking at the direction in which the Ghost Witch Protector left, Jun Wuxie muttered to himself with a cold look on his face.
