Chapter 141
"Hard to say."
"What's the meaning?"
Li Chunyan asked:
"Fellow Daoist Han Li, do you perhaps have some concerns?"
The Fellow Daoist Han before her was a newly joined member of the Rogue Cultivator Alliance. He was always cautious and meticulous in his actions, and she relied on him quite a bit.
Han Li frowned slightly. "The Moon Spirit Fruit Tree is so well hidden. If Alliance Leader Li hadn't obtained a map by chance, how could so many of us have gathered here?"
"But Princess Xiao found this place without a map, so does that mean...?"
"It's no longer a secret!"
Li Chunyan was surprised and uncertain, and subconsciously replied.
152. Who is the traitor?
As the dark clouds in the sky gradually dispersed, the bright moonlight poured down and shone on the Moon Spirit Fruit Tree, making the already pure white fruit even more crystal clear.
Moon Spirit Fruit.
It's ripe!
It was around this time.
Standing under the Moon Spirit Fruit Tree, Li Chunyan felt a sudden sense of foreboding, as if something far beyond her control was about to happen.
"Fellow Daoist Han, this place is so well hidden; Princess Xiao and the others were probably just lucky to have stumbled upon it..."
Han Li did not answer, but frowned slightly and stepped behind the crowd.
At the same time.
Dozens of golden figures streaked through the bright night sky.
Everyone turned to look.
Who is that person?
"They seem to be from the Dragon Tiger Sect."
"How did they find this place? Are they trying to steal the Moon Spirit Fruit?"
The crowd was filled with surprise and uncertainty, and various speculations arose.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Han Li, who had already retreated behind the crowd, quickly took out a talisman from his pocket and crushed it immediately.
The next moment, his speed seemed to increase a thousandfold, as fast as lightning. He flew to the back of the Moon Spirit Fruit Tree without anyone noticing, picked a Moon Spirit Fruit, and fled without a moment's hesitation.
The other disciples of the Rogue Cultivator Alliance were focused on the Dragon Tiger Sect members and did not notice Han Li, who had quietly disappeared.
Seeing the menacing disciples of the Dragon Tiger Sect, Li Chunyan's heart skipped a beat, and her expression changed drastically.
She was no stranger to the people of the Dragon Tiger Sect.
Among the Three Great Sects, the Dragon Tiger Sect is the most fierce and domineering, and it has often bullied these Rogue Cultivators.
The news of the Moon Spirit Fruit Tree has been leaked for some unknown reason, and the Dragon Tiger Sect has come knocking on our door. It's likely that they won't be able to get a single one of the dozen or so fruits on that tree.
While she was pondering, the other rogue cultivators with lower Rogue Cultivator had already panicked.
"Run! We can't afford to mess with the Dragon Tiger Sect!"
"Even the best Moon Spirit Fruit is worth its weight in gold; you need to be alive to get it. If the Dragon Tiger Sect targets it, you'll lose your life!"
The crowd scattered in terror.
"Don't move! Anyone who tries to run will be killed without mercy!"
The leader of the Dragon Tiger Sect disciples had already reached the Spring Gushing Peak Realm. He let out a cold shout and his figure instantly flew over.
The others followed and surrounded the group of Rogue Cultivator.
"Second Brother, what should we do with these?"
The one called Second Senior Brother was none other than Wang Xiao, the second disciple of the Giant Elephant True Person of the Dragon Tiger Sect.
Wang Xiao Rogue Cultivator across the trembling rogue cultivators and said disdainfully:
"A bunch of beggars, hand over your storage bags, and this true disciple might consider sparing your lives."
You're dreaming!
Li Chunyan angrily rebuked:
"I'd rather die than hand it over to you."
Wang Xiao sneered and turned his gaze to another female cultivator.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, your contribution will not be forgotten by this true disciple. If you hadn't leaked the secret, how could we have obtained so many Moon Spirit Fruits?"
Upon hearing this statement...
Li Chunyan and the others instantly realized that it was this female cultivator surnamed Chen who had betrayed them!
"Chen Mei! You traitor! You actually colluded with the Dragon Tiger Sect and betrayed us!"
The female cultivator surnamed Chen was glared at by the crowd, so she quickly took a few steps back, rushed out of the crowd, and ran towards Wang Xiao.
"Wang Zhuan, you mustn't go back on your promise to let me join the Dragon Tiger Sect!"
The female cultivator surnamed Chen looked at Wang Xiao with pleading eyes.
A cruel smile appeared on Wang Xiao's lips. He didn't reply, but instead swung his arm and threw a powerful punch.
The female cultivator surnamed Chen was sent flying backward, vomiting blood and suffering severe injuries.
The next moment.
Wang Xiao moved with lightning speed, rushing out and stepping on the face of the female cultivator surnamed Chen, crushing her.
The female cultivator surnamed Chen let out a miserable scream as her brains splattered out, and she died.
Seeing Wang Xiao's brutal and bloodthirsty appearance, everyone couldn't help but shudder and secretly cursed the female cultivator surnamed Chen for being foolish.
"Hmph! A stinking beggar like him dares to join the Dragon Tiger Sect?"
Wang Xiao snorted coldly, his bloodthirsty gaze sweeping over the other Rogue Cultivator.
The remaining people all paled upon witnessing such a bloody and cruel scene.
"What are you all standing there for? Run!"
Someone screamed in terror.
Everyone understood that even if they handed over their storage bags, they would likely still face certain death.
"Trying to run?"
Wang Xiao sneered, his eyes flashing with an eerie red light, "Today, you will all die here!"
As he spoke, Wang Xiao's figure flashed, and he instantly appeared next to a Rogue Cultivator who was trying to escape, punching him so hard that his chest caved in.
Looking at the chaotic scene, Li Chunyan's face was ashen, and her heart was filled with despair.
At that moment, she thought of Princess Xiao.
"If it were her, she could surely defeat this demon, right?"
But Li Chunyan knew in her heart that she and Princess Xiao were not related, and the other party had no reason to save her.
Since embarking on the path of cultivation, life and death, wealth and honor are preordained by fate.
Li Chunyan, filled with indignation, shouted:
"Stop! We're willing to give up everything we own to beg Li Zhenchuan to spare our lives!"
Wang Xiao stopped mid-air, looking down at him indifferently:
"That's not enough! I've cultivated a technique that requires blood to refine. It's an honor for you ants to offer your lives for my advancement."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Xiao raised his right palm, ready to strike downwards.
"Don't want..."
Li Chunyan channeled all her spiritual power into a desperate counterattack, but it was met with no resistance whatsoever.
She closed her eyes in despair, awaiting death.
However, the expected pain did not occur.
Just then, a piercing sound of something cutting through the air was heard.
Immediately afterwards, a dazzling starlight flashed in the void, descending from the sky and illuminating the night sky. Like a bolt of lightning piercing through heaven and earth, it instantly shattered the golden hand and smashed straight down on Wang Xiao's head.
Wang Xiao looked up, his pupils contracted sharply, and a sense of danger rose in his heart.
"What's going on?!"
He gritted his teeth, not daring to take the blow head-on, and immediately withdrew his attack, quickly dodging to the side.
Even so, he was still affected by the dazzling starlight, and like a kite with a broken string, he was sent flying backward and crashed heavily into the ground, creating a deep crater.
"Cough... cough..."
Wang Xiao crawled out of the pit, looking extremely disheveled. His entire right arm was missing, and blood was gushing from the base of his arm.
He had just gotten up when he spat out a mouthful of blood, mixed with internal organs and bits of flesh, clearly indicating that he was severely injured.
The sudden scene shocked everyone present, including the Dragon Tiger Sect disciples behind Wang Xiao.
They immediately rushed forward and protected Wang Xiao in the middle.
"Senior Brother Wang, quickly take these healing medicines!"
Although Wang Xiao was seriously injured, his remaining power was still evident. He pushed away his fellow disciple who came forward to take care of him, his face contorted with rage, his eyes bloodshot, and he roared at the sky:
"Who dares to ambush this true disciple?!"
The other Rogue Cultivator also looked over, but found no one there.
"We don't know which hero saved us, please show yourself."
Li Chunyan cupped her hands in a gesture of respect towards the distance.
The words had barely left his mouth.
A clear, melodious sound rang out from the sky, like the song of a golden oriole, crisp and pleasant, yet carrying a touch of gentleness.
"Fellow Daoist Li, you have quite the forgetfulness. You just promised me three Moon Spirit Fruits, and now you don't even remember who I am?"
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a single star suddenly appear in the night sky, which then grew larger.
A young girl dressed in red stepped out slowly.
Xiao Minghuang stood in the night sky, her long, black hair glossy, like a piece of fine silk, draped over her shoulders, the thick, ink-black ends reaching her waist. Her beautiful eyes shone like stars in the night sky, radiating dazzling brilliance. She was like a fairy under the moon, so beautiful that it was impossible to look directly at her.
Princess Xiao!
It's her!
"She's here to save us!"
Everyone was astonished and extremely excited.
