Getting the Wisdom Consort Under Control
Sect Leader Kang Da's expression darkened. With a flick of his Ink Abyss Flag, he casually killed the last Six-Winged Flying Dog at the first- First-Tier Supreme-Grade level. The sharp banner tip shattered the stupid creature into several pieces, revealing the orange-yellow dog treasure inside, which was the size of an infant's head.
These Six-Winged Flying Dog are rare to find in the outside world. Although their cultivation level is low, First-Tier Supreme-Grade dog treasure can be used as an excellent auxiliary material for various Second Tier pills. When the market is good, just one of these can sell for nearly a thousand Spirit Stone.
"What a pity. If every Six-Winged Flying Dog could yield one piece," Kang Dabao sighed softly. He put away Gou Bao, shook his head at the pile of Six-Winged Flying Dog corpses on the ground, and continued on his way.
The carcass of the Six-Winged Flying Dog was worth some money, but cleaning it up would take a very long time.
The Mountain-Viewing Cave is only open for half a month at a time. Sect Leader Kang Da's ability to dissect Demon Beast is only average, and he is unwilling to waste half a day on these Demon Beast corpses.
In addition, the Mountain-Viewing Cave was much more mysterious than he had imagined. The positioning magic bead given to him by the Daoist Black Shoes was completely useless after entering the cave, and he was unable to reunite with Jiang Qing for a long time, which made him somewhat worried about the latter's safety.
The true dangers of this Mountain-Viewing Cave have not yet been fully revealed. According to the previous master's notes, even True Cultivator who have reached the Foundation Establishment Peak have perished in this cave.
Therefore, I should explore more, or go to the Moonlight Palace as soon as possible, in order to reunite with my uncles and fellow disciples.
After walking along the Flying Dog Plank Road for half a day, Kang Dabao finally saw the first living person after entering the cave.
Sect Leader Kang Da was slightly surprised, and wondered inwardly, "Yuan Xiyue?"
Before the female cultivator lay a large number of Six-Winged Flying Dog corpses, including many Second-Tier Lower-Grade flying hound leaders. Her clothes were covered in bloodstains, though it was unclear whether any were her own. She was meditating and regulating her breathing.
Sensing Kang Dabao approaching with her Divine Sense, Yuan Xiyue remained calm and did not rise. She simply bowed crisply and said, "This humble servant greets Sect Leader Kang."
"So it was Fellow Daoist Yuan in person." Sect Leader Kang Da showed no sign of surprise, nodding in return with a calm tone, but in his heart, murderous intent had already arisen, and a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.
Although Yuan Xiyue achieved Foundation Establishment a hundred years earlier than Kang Dabao, the former has only reached the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage so far.
Furthermore, according to the rumors circulating outside, before being chosen by the abbot of Original Response Temple to cultivate the Buddha Mother Wisdom Consort Dao, Yuan Xiyue was merely an ordinary Foundation Establishment True Cultivator from the Jingnan Yuan Household.
At most, he's famous for his looks; in terms of ability, he's far from being as outstanding as the sixteenth young master Yuan Feng.
Therefore, Kang Dabao, who had just fought the False Core, was truly confident that he could take it down in one fell swoop. In any case, there was almost no possibility of the relationship between the Jingnan Yuan Household and his own family being eased, so there was no need to be polite and diplomatic with Yuan Xiyue here.
The only concern is whether Yuan Feng, the Golden Core seed of the Yuan Household, is also lingering nearby.
"I had previously heard rumors that Sect Leader Kang was exceptionally talented and capable, a top-tier young talent under the command of the Earl of Nan'an, and I thought it was somewhat exaggerated. But today, having seen Sect Leader Kang in person, I know that the rumors are not true."
As Yuan Xiyue spoke, her beautiful eyes narrowed, her almond-shaped eyes clearly filled with a coldness, yet Sect Leader Kang Da could still discern a hint of alluring spring in them.
"Sect Leader Kang is truly a once-in-a-century figure in Cloud Horn Prefecture, destined to be a pillar of the state. Those rumors and comments are hardly praise; they're merely self-deprecating remarks made to protect Sect Leader Kang from envy."
Kang Dabao has received a lot of praise over the years, but to be fair, no one can compare to even half of Yuan Xiyue's strength.
Even though he knew the other party's words were all exaggeration and praise, Sect Leader Kang Da did not feel disgusted by them. On the contrary, he actually felt a sense of satisfaction.
"Fellow Daoist flatters me. I am but an ordinary man, how could I possibly deserve such high praise?" Kang Dabao was, after all, a man who had tasted fine food.
Having spent his days Fei Shuhe debauchery with noble ladies of Fei Shuhe's caliber, he had long since developed a resistance to such behavior. He wouldn't lose himself simply because of the praise of a beautiful female cultivator.
Upon hearing Yuan Xiyue's words, Sect Leader Kang Da instantly became wary, focusing his energy in his eyes, ready to kill Yuan Xiyue on the spot if she made the slightest move.
Kang Dabao's methods towards female cultivators with outstanding looks are always ruthless, showing no mercy whatsoever.
"Sect Leader Kang is too modest. Xiyue's words come from the bottom of her heart," Yuan Xiyue said softly for a while longer.
Strangely enough, when she faced Kang Dabao, she appeared dignified and pure, without a trace of vulgarity or temptation, yet the latter still couldn't help but feel a lustful thought, unable to control himself.
Suddenly, a flawless Jade Leaf Dao Foundation- like light rose from Yu Ye Dantian's dantian, purifying the Qi Sea and the Heavenly Valley.
Correspondingly, the faint lewd look in the eyes of the Sect Leader Kang Da instantly cleared. When Yuan Xiyue looked at him again, she found that his eyes were clear as a spring, and he no longer showed any sign of being bewitched by the Wisdom Consort Form that she had cultivated for many years.
"No wonder the old patriarch warned me to be careful of this person before he left. Now it seems that not only are his fighting skills sharp, but his character is also excellent. No wonder he was chosen as the eldest son-in-law by the Ying Prefecture Fei Household. The so-called 'good at bullying women' outside is probably just useless idle people spreading rumors."
Yuan Xiyue secretly praised him, but then a bitter feeling welled up in her heart.
Kang Dabao's assessment of her was spot on. In terms of combat skills, she was indeed just an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator, unremarkable in the crowd. Her private methods had been discovered by him. If the Sect Leader Kang Da were to become enraged and Yixin to kill her, the eldest daughter of the Yuan Household family, whose spiritual power had already been greatly depleted by the Six-Winged Flying Dog, would hardly be able to withstand a few of Kang Dabao's shots.
"Fellow Daoist is indeed a virtuous Buddhist layman who has received the True Disciple Esoteric Buddhism. Your methods of bewitching minds are truly rare. I, Kang, have really underestimated you. What a sin!" Sect Leader Kang Da was not just spouting nonsense. As he spoke, two beams of Golden Light shone out.
Yuan Xiyue's face, usually so delicate and beautiful, suddenly turned pale with shock. Born into the False Core family, she had been chosen as a candidate for Mingfei by the abbot of Original Response Temple, the number one sect in the Snow Mountain Circuit. When she went out, few people did not hold her in high esteem.
It was rare to find someone like Kang Dabao who was so eager to fight upon first meeting her. Yuan Xiyue felt flustered, her delicate brows furrowed slightly, and her almond-shaped lips parted slightly.
A black and gold giant clam shell prayer bead was ejected from it, facing the Golden Light directly.
Sect Leader Kang Da initially didn't take it seriously, considering it just an ordinary magical Spirit Artifact Buddhist cultivators. He figured that under the Delusion-Breaking Golden Eyes, it would only crumble and disintegrate, and was not worth worrying about. Therefore, he didn't prepare any backup plans.
But a moment later, a tiny crack appeared in the center of the tridacna beads, followed by two beams of dark light that intercepted the two golden rays until they disappeared together.
A hint of pain flashed in Yuan Xiyue's eyes. This was a talisman left for her by the temple's protector abbot years ago.
Knowing he was no match for the opponent, he disregarded the vital energy of the giant clam shell prayer beads and forcefully unleashed two protective spiritual lights, which were still shattered by the fat man in front of him in a single blow.
This person is indeed a formidable enemy I have rarely encountered in my life, and I cannot afford to be careless in the slightest!
Before Kang Dabao could react, a resolute look appeared on Yuan Xiyue's face. With a flick of her wrist and a snap of her fingers, she produced another Gold Skin Silver E and held it in her hand.
The woman held the "A" in her left hand and struck it with her right, creating a series of drumbeats that made Kang Dabao frown, disrupt his Mnemonic, and after a few more breaths, his mind became chaotic, his Qi and Blood and qi churned, and he almost lost control of his breathing.
"Ha, I was careless!" Sect Leader Kang Da cursed under his breath, not expecting this frail female cultivator to possess such skills.
"Pfft!" Kang Dabao, no longer suppressing his Qi and Blood, spat out a jet of blood, enduring the damage from the chaotic qi. Without pausing, he puffed out his chest and shouted, "Hey!"
Even though Sect Leader Kang Da had never practiced sonic attacks, Yuan Xiyue was still momentarily stunned by his shout. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Kang Dabao circulated his energy, and the Ink Abyss Flag transformed into a great banner. Holding the banner in his right hand, he roared and thrust it straight forward.
The sharp flag head was almost bigger than Yuan Xiyue's head. If it were solid, how could the latter possibly wait for the abbot to unite and Golden Core Formation Pill together?
"Cough," Yuan Xiyue was surprised by Kang Dabao's fierceness. She stopped attacking and coughed out a wisp of red fragrance, which made the tridacna beads hanging in front of her shine brightly, and the fine lines on them spread out.
"Om"
Kang Dabao seemed to hear a deep Buddhist chant resounding in his ears, and he vomited a mouthful of blood again, almost stopping the movement of his right hand that was holding the flag.
But then, to Yuan Xiyue's surprise, the burly man ignored his own injuries and, with a flick of his banner, knocked the giant clam shell prayer beads back into his hand.
"Cough cough!" Yuan Xiyue's beautiful eyes were filled with pain. The moment she put the Buddhist beads in her hand, her delicate palms were cut by the sharp cracks. Yuan Xiyue felt hatred rising in her heart, and she wished she could tear Kang Dabao to pieces.
You see, damaging this Buddhist Spirit Artifact is a minor matter; what this eldest daughter of the Yuan Household is most concerned about is whether she will lose the favor of the Khenpo because of this incident!
However, the powerful and unforgiving Sect Leader Kang Da on the other side could not tolerate the eldest daughter of the Yuan Household family being sad for too long. After repelling the giant clam shell beads with his Ink Abyss Flag, he did not stop. The tip of the banner burst into light, and he was about to smash Yuan Xiyue's six yang heads to pieces with one blow.
Yuan Xiyue would not sit idly by and wait for her fate. With a slight smile, she opened her veil and began chanting Buddhist hymns.
"You've run out of tricks!" Sect Leader Kang Da sneered. "This foolish woman actually dares to try and seduce your husband with her beauty!"
Ignoring the magnificent white scenery before him, he changed his hand gestures, and the banner shone with spiritual light, its power visibly increasing once more.
Just as Kang Dabao was about to reach Yuan Xiyue's head, adorned with a golden and jade flower crown, and knew that he could kill the eldest daughter of the Yuan Household in a single breath, a naked beauty suddenly appeared before him.
The beautiful woman smiled radiantly, holding a ribbon in her hand and wearing silver shoes, dancing gracefully as if she were a celestial being.
Her buttocks were round and peach-like, her legs were long and slender like pillars, and her breasts were perky and firm like peaks.
The dance was so bold and unrestrained that it was the most unconventional dance Kang Dabao had ever seen in his life! Although he forced himself to be clear-headed, he was still parched and unable to control himself!
The jade essence that emerged from the sea of qi failed to work, but fortunately, the Wisdom Consort Form Yuan Xiyue, which had greatly increased in power, could not be maintained for long.
Seeing that Sect Leader Kang Da's eyes were glazed over, the female cultivator acted decisively, without the slightest hesitation. She turned and left, not even having the thought of taking advantage of Kang Dabao.
After the Sect Leader Kang Da forcibly regained his senses, several breaths had passed. Yuan Xiyue, who was Yixin to escape, had already escaped the range of his Divine Sense. If it weren't for Kang Dabao's exceptional eyesight, she might have truly escaped.
"If you don't kill the snake, keep going!" Kang Dabao had learned his lesson from Gui Xiang, and even though time was extremely precious in Mountain-Viewing Cave, how could he bear to let Yuan Xiyue go back like this?
Without a second thought, Sect Leader Kang Da raised the Ink Abyss Flag and gave chase.
Yuan Xiyue's fighting skills were not particularly formidable, but her escape speed was undeniably swift. Kang Dabao chased after her for a while and realized that the distance between them was increasing. He knew something was wrong, Delusion-Breaking Golden Eyes several times to predict several of Yuan Xiyue's routes and blocked her path.
The female cultivator gritted her teeth, so angry she looked like she wanted to devour someone, but as she turned around, she still rewarded Sect Leader Kang Da with Yanran.
Having experienced the power of the Wisdom Consort Form, the latter disregarded Yuan Xiyue's thoughts, her eyes gleaming with Golden Light, her pupils turning golden to shut out the lewd image, and she flicked her sleeve.
The swarm of insects, which had thinned considerably, burst forth again from Kang Dabao's wide sleeves. In an instant, the arena glittered with silver light as the Lion Insect clanged their mandibles together. Without stopping, they rushed toward Yuan Xiyue's beautiful, white flesh.
As the saying goes, every creature has its nemesis. It's pitiful that this female cultivator, who has cultivated the Buddha Mother Wisdom Consort Form for so many years, has encountered a group of chaotic, ignorant, and mindless ferocious insects, for which there is little logic to it.
The Gold Skin Silver E in her hand was now useless, and in a panic, she quickly covered her open chest again to avoid being taken advantage of by the Lion Insect.
Yuan Xiyue summoned six or seven Second Tier, mid-to-high-grade talismans, barely managing to keep the ravenous Lion Insect swarm out.
However, this is not a long-term solution. The Silver-Armored Lion Insect that Kang Dabao fed with Star Frost Soil are no ordinary creatures. Although they are only at the First-Tier Supreme-Grade, in just a few breaths, the outermost layer of the Three Yin Mystic Wood Talisman Light Screen that Yuan Xiyue summoned was about to be completely devoured by the swarm of insects.
The eldest daughter of the Yuan Household finally panicked completely. She was quick-witted and knew that she couldn't utter a single word of threat or intimidation at this moment. She could only plead softly, begging for mercy in a sweet voice. "Sect Leader Kang, spare my life! If you spare me, I'll do anything you ask!"
"Heh," Sect Leader Kang Da groaned upon hearing this, changed his hand seals, and murmured something. The Lion Insect swarm became even more invigorated, adding another 30% of its strength.
"Ah!" Yuan Xiyue cried out in alarm. Who on earth was spreading these rumors in Cloud Horn Prefecture?! This fat man in front of her didn't look like a "lustful devil" at all!
"Crack!" With the complete destruction of the Three Yin Mystic Wood Talisman, the approaching insect cloud caused Yuan Xiyue's usually aloof demeanor to turn panicked. "Kang Dabao, you may not be afraid of the Jingnan Yuan Household, but when the Khenpo comes to Cloud Horn Prefecture in a few years and cannot find me, you will be in serious trouble!"
These words seemed to have an effect, as the dense cloud of insects dispersed to both sides, creating a narrow passage. Before Yuan Xiyue could even feel joy, several Golden Light shone from that passage.
"Bang bang bang bang," four defensive talismans vanished in succession, leaving Yuan Xiyue completely disoriented. Her beautiful eyes were filled with fear, and she was only protected by the last thin talisman light barrier. Naturally, she could no longer feel any sense of security.
Two clear tears streamed down the female cultivator's face as she pleaded in a sorrowful voice:
"Sect Leader Kang, spare my life! Xiyue cultivates the Buddha Mother Wisdom Consort Dao, maintaining her pure body for two Jiazi (60 years). Her Xuan Yin power is not only beneficial to Mingwang (King of the Brightness), but also greatly beneficial to ordinary Qiandao (Cultivation) practitioners. Please spare Xiyue's life, and Xiyue will serve you well!"
The cries were so poignant and heart-wrenching!
Upon hearing this, Kang Dabao's eyes showed hesitation for the first time. How could he not hesitate? After all, if what the eldest daughter of the Yuan Household said was true, then she would be a human tonic!
"Bang!" The last light barrier in front of Yuan Xiyue suddenly exploded, and the boundless swarm of insects was about to devour it completely.
"Boom!" The tridacna beads, which Yuan Xiyue regarded as her fundamental Law Artifact, suddenly exploded. The already thin insect cloud of the Sect Leader Kang Da had a thick layer shaved off. He frowned with heartache and looked at the aloof female cultivator in front of him, his killing intent intensified.
As the insect cloud dispersed, Yuan Xiyue, the instigator, showed no joy whatsoever. Her face was deathly pale, clearly indicating that she had also suffered serious injuries from the self-destruction of the giant clam shell prayer beads.
She never imagined that her last bargaining chip would be so weak as to not even delay Kang Dabao for a moment, which made her so angry that she almost gritted her teeth.
"This guy is so stubborn, is there some kind of restriction on his manhood that the eldest daughter of the Fei Household has placed on it, preventing him from getting close to anyone?!" Yuan Xiyue muttered to herself for a while, then saw that Kang Dabao was emitting Golden Light, insect clouds, and a large banner all at once, he was determined to take her life!
Yuan Xiyue abandoned any hope of getting away with it and brought out her most treasured possession.
A short, indigo talisman, barely five inches long, burst into flames, instantly gathering a surge of violent spiritual energy. In a mere instant, the talisman burned out, and a massive golden-ringed sword, a full ten feet long, stood suspended in mid-air!
"Water Cloud Slash." This bold golden-ringed broadsword was completely out of place with Yuan Xiyue, who was more beautiful than a flower, but Kang Dabao didn't care that the beauty of the woman in front of him was ruined by the broadsword.
The indigo blade light nearly cleaved the sky in two before Kang Dabao's eyes! Kang Dabao's eyes narrowed, Golden Light emanating from them, momentarily blocking the blade light. His right hand landed on his Storage Bag, and a radiant light appeared at the bag's opening. The Immortal Game Disc shone through, expanding in the wind to the size of a table, completely protecting the Sect Leader Kang Da.
With a "crack," the top-grade Spirit Artifact that Kang Dabao had just acquired steadily blocked the indigo blade's light, but a faint mark appeared on its surface.
Yuan Xiyue's face showed shock. This was the talisman that Yuan Buwen had bought for her at the auction years ago! In terms of power, it was enough to withstand an attack from an ordinary False Core, yet it couldn't kill Kang Dabao?!
Little did she know that the latter was also filled with lingering fear. If Sima Fei hadn't given him the Second-Tier Upper-Grade Phoenix Spirit Liquid earlier, which was enough to enhance Immortal Game Disc's nurturing power for nearly ten years, then Sect Leader Kang Da might have completely lost this top-grade defensive Spirit Artifact and been seriously injured.
Fortunately, Yuan Xiyue's talisman was not only capable of a single strike. After fighting for so long, she finally developed some countermeasures.
This was also her fault for being too indecisive, Yixin wanting to save her trump card to compete with others at the Moonlight Palace. She never expected that even a seemingly insignificant Kang Dabao could drive her to a dead end.
"Sect Leader Kang, did you come here just to kill me? If we arrive at the Moonlight Palace late, Sect Leader Kang won't have much to gain!"
This reasoning is indeed sound, but how could Sect Leader Kang Da bear to let go at this moment? However, the golden ringed broadsword hanging in mid-air forced him to temporarily stop his movements; even someone as powerful as the Immortal Game Disc would not be able to withstand more than a few blows.
Just then, the multifaceted tourmaline bracelet on Yuan Xiyue's wrist began to glow. A flash of joy crossed the female cultivator's eyes, but the Sect Leader Kang Da, with his excellent eyesight, noticed something amiss.
Kang Dabao was quite decisive. Without thinking, he unleashed Golden Light, a great banner, and a cloud of insects in succession, without holding back any strength.
The Sect Leader Kang Da moved too fast. Before Yuan Xiyue's joy could subside, the golden ring greatsword in her hand was a step too slow. The indigo blade light shot out again, shattering the banner, extinguishing the Golden Light, and dispersing the insect cloud. However, it was blocked by the Immortal Game Disc thrown by the Sect Leader Kang Da and could not advance an inch.
"Not good!!"
Yuan Xiyue knew to run as soon as she found the direction of the person coming, but she saw that the person was running at top speed with the Primordial Ancient Body activated to the extreme. The Second-Tier Middle-Grade talisman she hastily summoned was blown apart by the latter with a single punch!
"Yuan Feng, save me..." The dignified female cultivator could only finish her sentence when a large hand gripped her slender neck tightly, and a strong masculine aura overwhelmed her, making it impossible for her to speak any further.
Only after he had completely locked Yuan Xiyue's voluptuous body in his arms, with the warm jade moving restlessly within him, did Sect Leader Kang Da notice that a cultivator wearing a cloak was rapidly approaching from afar, and that the tourmaline on Yuan Xiyue's wrist was becoming increasingly bright.
The cultivator landed gracefully, his handsome face almost making a certain fat cultivator feel ashamed of his own appearance.
Upon seeing Yuan Xiyue, whose neck was tightly gripped and whose life was held in his hands by Kang Dabao, the newcomer sighed inwardly, a fleeting look of annoyance crossing his brow. He simply asked softly, "Sect Leader Kang?"
