Beheading, a New Record?
The lightning dragon was annihilated in an instant, and Liu Yunlong felt as if a high mountain had crashed into his body.
He spat out a mouthful of Essence Blood, his body flew backward, and slammed hard against the mountain wall.
Three streaks of rainbow light streaked across the sky and slowly descended.
As the rainbow light faded, it revealed the three Golden Core True Person representing the Xunxian Town Immortal Alliance.
Led by Sikong Ying.
"A mere Half-Spirit Valley dares to be so presumptuous? There are too many turtles in shallow waters, thinking they're big turtles, huh?"
Sikong Ying looked at Liu Yunlong, who was lying on the ground and still vomiting blood, and a mocking smile flashed across his face.
The cultivators from Half-Spirit Valley dared not even breathe loudly.
This is Golden Core True Person; anyone who dares to speak will likely die on the spot.
Even Liu Yunlong didn't dare to look directly at Sikong Ying, and could only quickly circulate his Dao techniques to stabilize his injuries.
"Among you, besides him, whose words carry the most weight?"
Sikong Ying pointed to Liu Yunlong over there and addressed the group of Half-Spirit Valley cultivators.
The cultivators of Half-Spirit Valley looked at each other in bewilderment.
Finally, a white-haired cultivator stepped forward under everyone's gaze.
"Yes, it is I, Senior." The white-haired cultivator replied respectfully, showing no sign of dissatisfaction.
Sikong Ying nodded. "Go back and tell your Valley Master that if you want war, our Xunxian Town is ready to fight at any time."
Now, get out of my True Person.
Upon hearing this, the white-haired cultivator could only nod hastily.
Quickly direct the others to carry Liu Yunlong away.
Sikong Ying then spoke up, "Who gave you permission to take him away?"
The cultivators who went to lift Liu Yunlong were immediately stunned.
Liu Yunlong's eyes widened, and his hands trembled slightly.
"You can get out, but he can't," Sikong Ying said.
The cultivators of Half-Spirit Valley exchanged bewildered glances once more.
But with the choice of sacrificing a friend rather than oneself, the cultivators of Half-Spirit Valley, under pressure, had no choice but to leave in a sorry state.
Only Liu Yunlong remained.
However, before leaving, the white-haired cultivator made a point of exchanging a few words with Liu Yunlong.
He clearly told Liu Yunlong Liu Yunlong rest assured that he would report to the Valley Master and ask him to rescue Liu Yunlong as soon as possible.
Liu Yunlong was too badly injured to reply, so he could only offer a grateful look.
But just as the Half-Spirit Valley cultivator left...
Sikong Ying walked up to Liu Yunlong.
"What do you think I'm keeping you True Person for?" Sikong Ying chuckled.
Liu Yunlong was puzzled.
Suddenly, Liu Yunlong felt a chill on his neck.
Before he could react, Liu Yunlong's consciousness grew increasingly heavy.
Like someone drowning, they struggled desperately, but couldn't get out of the water.
After beheading Liu Yunlong, Sikong Ying raised his right hand.
A ball of spiritual flame flew out and landed instantly.
With a soft "poof, "Liu Yunlong's entire corpse was engulfed by the spiritual flames.
In just over ten breaths, Liu Yunlong was completely burned to ashes.
After dealing with Liu Yunlong, Sikong Ying turned and walked towards Su Zhen.
"You don't need to worry about Half-Spirit Valley. Just keep mining the Fire Rosy Cloud Iron Mine," Sikong Ying said.
Su Zhen quickly bowed and said, "Thank you Senior Sikong."
Sikong Ying waved his hand casually.
"It's alright, but... Half-Spirit Valley won't let this go easily. You need to be careful. Even a rabbit will bite when cornered, let alone a mad dog."
Su Zhen's gaze sharpened.
He was naturally aware of this.
Half-Spirit Valley will definitely not give up on the Fire Rosy Cloud Iron Mine.
After all, the temptation is too strong.
Moreover, the Immortal Alliance is now standing up for the Departing Maple Sect and Luozhen Sect.
Then Half-Spirit Valley can also get the Mysterious Dao Sect to back them up.
The Mysterious Dao Sect must be very interested in this matter.
With the Mysterious Dao Sect backing them up, the Half-Spirit Valley has become much bolder.
It's not impossible that they might harass the Fire Rosy Cloud Iron Mine or even commit murder.
"I will have the sect's True Person guard this place to prevent Half-Spirit Valley from resorting to desperate measures," Su Zhen said.
Half-Spirit Valley only has one Third-Rank Sect.
The number of Golden Core True Person within it is not large.
There are only four on the surface.
Aside from the Valley Master, the other three were all worshippers.
He was not a direct descendant of a True Person trained by the Half-Spirit Valley.
They were all hired by Half-Spirit Valley for huge profits.
There's no need to worry too much about this kind of Golden Core.
In the event of a crisis, they might run even faster than the people of Half-Spirit Valley.
Although True Person Liu is False Core cultivator, his combat strength is no weaker than that of True Core Formation cultivator.
With him guarding this place, the Half-Spirit Valley's attempt to attack the Fire Rosy Cloud Iron Mine will be thwarted.
That would require two Golden Core cultivators.
This is tantamount to starting a war with the Departing Maple Sect.
Although the dogs of Half-Spirit Valley were desperate, they resorted to desperate measures.
However, a decision on whether to go to war will not be made so quickly.
Therefore, with True Person Liu's Golden Core guarding the area, there is no immediate danger.
However, things might change over time.
Sikong Ying thought for a moment and said:
"I will have the Xunxian Town Immortal Alliance send two Golden Core cultivators to guard this place."
With three Golden Core here, it should be able to calm down Half-Spirit Valley.
After agreeing on the details, everyone planned to return.
Su Zhen left a group of people here.
The two Golden Core cultivators who came with Sikong Ying were also left here.
As she was leaving, Sikong Ying found Mo Xuan.
"Where's Yunjing? Why are you here this time?" Sikong Ying asked.
Mo Xuan smiled and said, "Senior brother is currently in seclusion undergoing a breakthrough and cannot leave."
"Oh, a breakthrough... After this seclusion, he must have Foundation Establishment Perfection. He's truly a promising young man," Sikong Ying remarked.
"Senior Sikong, it's not the Foundation Establishment Perfection yet. My senior brother is planning to go into seclusion to form his Core Formation," Mo Xuan said.
Upon hearing this, Sikong Ying was so shocked that she almost bit her tongue.
"Secluded Core Formation?" Sikong Ying's eyes widened.
If you calculate the time, Li Yunjing has only Foundation Establishment for a short time.
He actually planned to go into seclusion Core Formation.
That speed is truly astonishing.
"Could this kid be about to break the Tianyuan record?!" Sikong Ying muttered to himself.
The record for the fastest Core Formation, widely circulated within Tianyuan, was created by an unparalleled genius.
After Foundation Establishment, he successfully Core Formation in just one year.
This record is unprecedented and unlikely to be repeated.
Even the disciples who are the focus of training by the major sects of Tianyuan,
After reaching the Foundation Establishment, it will take at least two to three years to Core Formation the Core.
This speed is actually faster than that of the vast majority of people.
The main issue is that the Core Formation stage will take a considerable amount of time.
When the Foundation Establishment Perfection's essence, energy, and spirit reach their peak...
Cultivators also need to grasp that elusive inspiration that appears the Unseen.
Only then can one complete the Core Formation in one go.
That peerless genius also obtained fortuitous opportunity.
I accidentally stumbled upon the cultivation grounds of a powerful being.
As a result, he comprehended the spiritual insights left behind by that great being.
Then, seizing the inspiration, he Core Formation in one fell swoop.
It has only been a little over half a year since Li Yunjing established his Foundation Establishment.
He was about to go into seclusion to Core Formation.
We haven't had the same kind of fortuitous opportunity as that prodigy.
If he succeeds, Li Yunjing's move will set a new record.
"This kid has Eighth-Grade Root Bone and is also Heaven-Grade Foundation Establishment. It seems reasonable that he has achieved this step..."
Sikong Ying lacked confidence.
It's only Eighth-Grade Root Bone, not the highest ninth grade.
Which of those prodigies from the major sects doesn't possess a ninth-grade Root Bone?
The Heaven-Grade Foundation Establishment is indeed commendable.
However, it was also impossible to directly help Li Yunjing Core Formation.
"I can't see through it, I can't see through it." Sikong Ying shook his head.
Regardless, once Li Yunjing successfully Core Formation...
Sikong Ying would have to cling to a powerful figure.
The hope for the rest of his life, whether he can enjoy his old age in peace, rests on Li Yunjing's shoulders.
With this thought in mind, Sikong Ying smiled at Mo Xuan:
"Remember to let me know as soon as your senior brother emerges from seclusion."
Mo Xuan nodded.
The group left, chatting and laughing.
On the last day of February, at noon
Luozhen Sect Luozhen Grand Hall
Mo Xuan rubbed his forehead and sighed.
"Does this Half-Spirit Valley really have the Mysterious Dao Sect backing it up? Are they truly planning to start a war?"
Mo Xuan held a Jade Slip in his hand. After reading Jade Slip contents, Mo Xuan felt helpless.
There was no other information in this Jade Slip, just one sentence.
Half-Spirit Valley sent men to harass Fire Rosy Cloud Iron Mine, and one of them was injured.
