Chapter 131 An Indestructible Cockroach
Zhong Lingxin found the right location and returned to the Wuyun Sect with a pale face.
Upon seeing Zhong Lingxin, Wu Yuanshan hurriedly pulled her aside and asked, "Brother Yuanwei, where have you been these past few days? Your elder brother has been looking for you everywhere."
Zhong Lingxin smiled bitterly: "I'm sorry to have worried you, brother. I had just set up my stall when a fight broke out at the stall next door. I was caught in the crossfire and was seriously injured. I managed to hide in a room and passed out. I only woke up just now."
Many of these heretical practitioners who set up stalls often start fighting over the slightest disagreement.
Wu Yuanshan had no doubts.
He looked at Zhong Lingxin's pale face and told her to get more rest.
Zhong Lingxin returned to her room, closed the door, and began to meditate, appearing to be severely injured.
Wu Yuanshan visited twice during this period, offering a few perfunctory words of concern.
A few days later, Wu Yuanshan came and asked him to go out and fight against the cultivators of the righteous sects.
It was the turn of the Dark Cloud Sect to fight again.
Zhong Lingxin followed Wu Yuanshan toward the battlefield.
Along the way, a topic discussed by the heretical practitioners caught Zhong Lingxin's attention.
Hai Yuan of the Qingyun Sect is dead.
It is said that the Lingyun Sect is fighting against the Lihun Sect. Since Brother Yu of the Lihun Sect is absent, and the Lingyun Sect is also missing Ye Yuanzun, the two sides are evenly matched. However, it is rumored that Ye Yuanzun's death is related to a female cultivator from the Qingyun Sect, so Chen Zhixiong has been making things difficult for the Qingyun Sect. During the last battle, Chen Zhixiong betrayed the Qingyun Sect.
It is said that Chen Zhixiong dispatched a large number of sect cultivators to besiege a small group of evil cultivators from the Li Hun Sect, while sending the Qingyun Sect to hold off the main force of the Li Hun Sect's evil cultivators. In the end, Hai Yuan self-destructed to cover the retreat of the Qingyun Sect cultivators.
The heretical cultivators chatted and laughed, mocking the righteous sects like Lingyun Sect.
Since the two sides began fighting in Flying Dragon City, Hai Yuan was the first Nascent Soul cultivator to die.
Zhong Lingxin lowered her head, concealing the sadness and hatred in her eyes.
Hai Yuan was a cultivator who was extremely skilled in diplomacy. The Qingyun Sect sent him to lead the team so that he could deal with the Lingyun Sect in a tactful manner.
But he was still forced to his death by the Lingyun Sect.
Zhong Lingxin gritted her teeth; this debt must be repaid by Lingyun Sect.
Chen Zhixiong must die!
In fact, Chen Zhixiong did this on the instructions of the Lingyun Sect's higher-ups.
Since Lu Linchen became the sect leader of Qingyun Sect, the sect has shown signs of revival.
Before heading into the ancient battlefield, Chen Zhixiong received instructions from the Lingyun Sect Master: no matter what method was used, all the Qingyun Sect cultivators must be killed on the ancient battlefield.
Lingyun Sect's goal is simple: on the Immortal Spirit Continent, their Tribulation Transcending Ancestor cannot emerge, and they dare not kill Qingyun Sect disciples in the various training grounds. However, in the ancient battlefields and various small secret realms where even high-level combatants cannot enter, they want to kill all the elite disciples of the new generation of Qingyun Sect, causing a talent gap in the Qingyun Sect.
Chen Zhixiong resolutely carried out the orders, but Hai Yuan managed to thwart them every time.
When Ye Yuanzun used the magic treasure hut to kill Zhong Lingxin, Hai Yuan took the opportunity to lead the Qingyun Sect out of Chen Zhixiong's control.
Just as Chen Zhixiong was trying his best to eliminate the Qingyun Sect, the duel between the righteous and evil factions in Feilong City began.
The Qingyun Sect had no choice but to return to the command of the Lingyun Sect.
Chen Zhixiong framed Qingyun Sect several times, but Hai Yuan always managed to resolve the situation.
This time, he received a message that the Li Hun Sect would send a small group of evil cultivators to launch a sneak attack on the flank of their Lingyun Sect.
So he adopted the suggestion of his strategist, sending the Qingyun Sect to hold off the Lihun Sect head-on, while he personally led a team to kill the small group of Lihun Sect evil cultivators who were launching a sneak attack.
Chen Zhixiong did indeed kill all the small group of evil cultivators who had launched the sneak attack.
However, the Qingyun Sect also suffered heavy losses, with most of its members killed or wounded, and its leader, Hai Yuan, was forced to self-destruct.
Chen Zhixiong didn't care about the fate of the Qingyun Sect; he only cared about praising his excellent command and the complete annihilation of the attacking enemy.
As for the losses suffered by the Qingyun Sect, he made no mention of them. Instead, he sent someone to angrily rebuke the Qingyun Sect for failing to hold back a large number of enemies from the Lihun Sect, almost preventing them from annihilating the attacking enemy.
At this moment, Chen Zhixiong was smug, having completed half of the task assigned by the sect.
He could find an opportunity to send the remaining Qingyun Sect soldiers out to their deaths, and that would basically finish them off.
Soon, the Wuyun Sect and the Taixu Sect met at their usual spot.
The two sides were evenly matched and both knew how to conceal their strength, so the fight wasn't very intense.
Zhong Lingxin followed behind Wu Yuanshan, going through the motions but not putting in any real effort.
Since everyone knew he was still injured, no one blamed him for retreating to meditate after each couple of ineffective bursts of spiritual energy.
While meditating, Zhong Lingxin carefully observed the Wuyun Sect cultivators on the battlefield, studying their spiritual combat techniques.
She discovered that most of the evil cultivators did not have the same level of pure spiritual power as the righteous sect cultivators, but their moves were more insidious, and most of them cultivated soul techniques and evil energy.
Zhong Lingxin also cultivates soul techniques. But her soul techniques are different from those of the evil cultivators.
The soul techniques of evil cultivators mostly involve refining the souls of others for their own use. They look sinister, but they are much slower to execute.
The evil energy is also released relatively slowly.
However, whether it is soul magic or evil energy, if a cultivator gets tainted by it, they must immediately withdraw from the battle and cleanse themselves as soon as possible. Otherwise, it will enter the cultivator's dantian, affecting the cultivator's cultivation, and may even cripple the cultivator.
Therefore, cultivators are extremely wary of evil cultivators, and when they fight, they always use a spiritual energy shield to protect themselves thoroughly before engaging in battle.
In this way, the cultivators' attacks are greatly reduced, making it easier for the evil cultivators to gain the upper hand.
There's also the crafting of corpse puppets.
The Wuyun Sect doesn't have many evil cultivators who refine corpse puppets, but it's said that they have a peak that specializes in refining corpse puppets.
On the battlefield, these evil cultivators who created corpse puppets stole the show. They didn't fight personally, but instead commanded their corpse puppets to launch a fierce attack on the opposing cultivators.
The corpse puppets were covered in poison, and they felt nothing. They were unfazed by the cultivators' swords and slashes, continuing their relentless attacks. Unless their consciousness was completely destroyed, they would relentlessly pursue the cultivators, making them virtually indestructible.
These corpse puppets were mostly cultivators from righteous sects in life, possessing the strength they had in life and formidable combat power. Destroying their sea of consciousness is no easy task!
During the battle, a cultivator from the Taixu Sect suddenly pointed at a corpse puppet and started cursing.
He recognized the corpse puppet as one of his family's missing ancestors.
The cultivators of the Dark Cloud Sect all burst into wild laughter.
They love this kind of thing the most: to be discovered by cultivators from righteous sects that the ones attacking them are their own people.
The Taixu Sect cultivator frantically threw out several talismans, roaring in grief and anger: "Senior brothers, smash, smash, smash! Help me smash them! That's my grandfather, who disappeared while traveling two hundred years ago. Who knew he would be killed by the Wuyun Sect."
The cultivators of the Taixu Sect felt the same way and threw a bunch of talismans at the corpse puppet.
