I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

The two were filled with regret.

They missed such a hard-won chance to achieve enlightenment.

Of course, when they solve the Ghost Shadow Palace and reward their merits in the future, they will have a chance to gain benefits from Jiang Lingzi, but they must know that Wei Tu and Jincan Xuenu paid almost no price and got the opportunity for free from Jiang Lingzi.

"It's fine for the Golden Silkworm Snow Girl, but she was the first to know when Jiang Lingzi's soul was divided into two parts and descended to the mortal world. How could Wen Tianqi be so sure that he bet on the right treasure?"

Lou Shiwang and Master Lan thought to themselves that they did not think it was a coincidence that Wei Tu made the right bet.

If he had easily believed just a few simple words from the Golden Silkworm Snow Girl, Wei Tu would definitely not have been able to get to where he is today.

Before searching the fake Jiang Lingzi's soul, they saw clearly that Wei Tu had made preparations in advance to intercept Qi Yaoxian.

Therefore, this cannot be simply explained by luck, but must be related to Wei Tu's inhuman "insight" that far exceeds theirs.

This insight, when reflected in strength, is a powerful soul and consciousness that surpasses theirs.

Plus... what they just saw was the powerful blood energy on his body, comparable to that of a fifth-level monster...

"This boy must be the next ascended monk in the human world! He is equivalent to Jiang Lingzi nine hundred years ago! No wonder Jiang Lingzi thinks so highly of him."

King Lou Shiwang and Master Lan looked at each other subconsciously, and this thought suddenly came to their minds.

next moment.

Jiang Lingzi's words confirmed their thoughts.

He temporarily gave the position of commanding their several great gods to Wei Tu, rather than the Golden Silkworm Snow Girl, an old friend who seemed to be closer to him.

"Just now, you also sensed it and saw that Wen Xiaozi and Shui Yao's realm is different from before."

"Yes, now both of them are at the middle stage of the Spiritualization Stage. This is a relic I left before my ascension, which I gave to them."

Jiang Lingzi frankly admitted that he gave special treatment to Wei Tu and Jincan Xuenu, and that he valued them, without any pretense.

After all, in a sense, this was also his reward for Wei Tu and the Golden Silkworm Snow Girl.

The war against the Ghost Palace had already begun from the moment the fake Spirit Son was born.

Wei Tu and the Golden Silkworm Snow Girl were, without a doubt, the people who had made great contributions here.

"Yes, this junior understands."

King Lou Shiwang and Master Lan felt bitter in their hearts and nodded in agreement.

Although they felt regretful in their hearts, they did not complain.

The world of immortal cultivation is not a place for kindness.

When they hesitated and rejected Jiang Lingzi at that time, they had already lost the opportunity and left a bad impression in Jiang Lingzi's mind.

Not only is it futile, it is actually wrong!
On the contrary, Wei Tu, who trusted Jiang Lingzi and Jin Canxue Nu from the very beginning, was equivalent to following the dragon.

Since ancient times, those who serve the emperor have been heavily rewarded, and there has never been a principle of taking it lightly.

“The battle with the Ghost Shadow Palace and the Fog Ghost Clan has begun from now on.” Inside the cave, Wei Tu’s eyes gleamed as he looked towards the south, which was the central and southern regions of the Great Yan cultivation world.

His old rival, the Lord of Bliss, is also there.

Last time, when he was in the Southern Region, he faced the Lord of Bliss and the Old Man Hidden Ghost and fled in panic.

But now, the situation has reversed!
……

A month later.

The Central Region has now become the gate of the Sword and Fire Palace, the headquarters of the Ghost Shadow Palace.

"A letter from Tianmei?" Deep in the back mountain, in a luxurious cave, after the Ghost King Li sensed the sound of the [Dragon and Phoenix Ruyi Pendant] in his arms, he first raised his eyebrows, secretly surprised, and then he thought of something, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

The Dragon and Phoenix Ruyi Pendant was a magical instrument for transmitting sound that he had made himself. It was divided into two parts, the Yin and Yang. He gave the Yin pendant to Tianmei Xuenv as a token of love when they got married.

Yang Pei, he left it alone.

Now, Yang Pei was shocked. There was no other possibility except that Tianmei Xuenu sent him a message.

However - according to Qi Yaoxian, at this time, Tianmei Xuenu had already been controlled by Wei Tu and Jincan Xuenu, and had been restricted by them, so she had no control over herself!
The reason they sent a message to him was simply that Wei Tu and the Golden Silkworm Snow Girl wanted to use this to set a trap for him.

He took out the spirit pendant, took a look at the words that appeared on it, and said to himself, "As expected."

There were only three words on the spirit pendant - "Ye Jing Valley". Obviously, this was the place where Tianmei Xuenu asked him to meet, and where the trap was set.

"But... this trap comes at the perfect time! Pei and Jile are in a hurry to find Jiang Lingzi, Wen Tianqi, and Jincan Xuenu."

The ghost king sneered.

His eyes flashed slightly, and he stroked the [Dragon and Phoenix Ruyi Pendant] in his palm for a while, then he waved his sleeves, opened the door of the cave, flew out directly, and went to the main hall where the Lord of Bliss was staying.

"It seems that Jiang Lingzi wants to take advantage of the old relationship between Tianmei Xuenu and you, Xu Li, to deliberately lure you out and cut off our power..."

Inside the hall, the bronze mirror in the hand of the Lord of Bliss floated up, and "Senior Pei" in a black robe appeared through the mirror. He nodded slightly, as if he was very satisfied with the news from the Ghost King.

At present, although he has trained Ji Le Shen Hou, Qi Yaoxian and others, the strongest combat power is still Li Gui Wang, who is in the middle stage of the God Transformation. If Li Gui Wang is deceived and led out... the damage he suffers will be serious.

"Xu Li is a loyal senior and has already repented."

Li Guiwang replied immediately, acting as if he wanted to regain the trust of "Senior Pei".

Seeing this scene, Lord Ji Le frowned. Because of his realm problem, his position with "Senior Pei" was already unstable. If he could regain the trust of the Ghost King, the position of the head of the Ghost Shadow Palace might be lost to him.

"Since Master Xu came to report the news, he must have thought of a plan on how to deal with Jiang Lingzi and the others."

The Lord of Bliss smiled slightly and stepped forward to add fuel to the fire.

He did not think that Jiang Lingzi, Wei Tu and others were easy to deal with. Before he used this strategy to lure the enemy, he must have "considered defeat before considering victory" and made full preparations.

Therefore, unless there are any accidents, the risk of failure in this attack will be extremely high.

Pushing the blame of the plan onto Li Guiwang is a disguised way of making Li Guiwang bear the consequences of this failure.

"Jiujie Ji Le is now the Palace Master of our sect. Uncle Shi is not capable enough...Jijie Ji Le should make the decision."

Li Guiwang sneered secretly and kicked the ball back to Ji Le Shen Hou. He regarded this battle as a turning point and would not be easily restrained by Ji Le Shen Hou.

Seeing this scene, although "Senior Pei" had an annoyed look on his face, he was quite satisfied in his heart. Only when these two people were fighting could he better control everything behind the scenes.

If the Ghost Palace was really an iron wall, he would be unable to sleep or eat.

"Just take advantage of their own tactic."

"With your skills, Xu Li, and the magic treasure given to you by this Holy Son, you can escape easily even if there is a trap."

"Senior Pei" waved his sleeves and used his magic power to separate the Ghost King Li and the God of Bliss, who were arguing with each other, and made a decision for them in a cold voice.

"As ordered."

"I will follow the instructions of my senior..."

As soon as the words fell, King Li of Ghosts and Marquis Jile Shenhou stopped arguing, and immediately took a step back, showing respectful expressions and bowing.

……

"Here they come! The three people from Ghost Shadow Palace, plus Qi Yaoxian, a total of four incarnation gods, are moving out together."

A hundred miles outside the gate of Jianhuo Palace, in the clouds near Yejing Valley, Wei Tu sat cross-legged with his eyes slightly closed. As the hour approached midnight, he suddenly spoke to King Lou Shi and Master Lan beside him.

"Are we there?" King Lou Shi and Master Lan, who were under the command of Wei Tu, were slightly surprised when they heard this. Their spiritual sense at the moment did not detect any human figure outside Yejing Valley.

But a few breaths after Wei Tu finished speaking.

A burly male cultivator wearing a thorny cloud cloak and a ghost face mask suddenly appeared and flew towards the direction of Yejing Valley.

This person is exactly the "Ghost King Li" in their memory.

However, what surprised them was that at this time, they still had not sensed any trace of other Divine Transformation cultivators in the Ghost Shadow Palace except for the Ghost King Li.

However, King Lou Shiwang and Master Lan did not doubt Wei Tu. After all, the Ghost Shadow Palace had always been famous for its highly concealed ghost shadow escape method, and the Fog Ghost Clan they were currently loyal to was even known as the assassin clan of the spirit world. It was reasonable that he could hide from their divine senses.

"Sure enough! Fellow Daoist Wen's insight is extraordinary and cannot be compared to ordinary people." King Lou Shi and Master Lan thought to themselves. They were immediately impressed by Wei Tu's strength and no longer felt aggrieved and dissatisfied because of being led by Wei Tu.

After all, this is to anticipate the enemy.

Invisibly, it gave them a lot more chances of winning.

Half an hour later.

The ghost king Li who had rushed over stopped at the entrance of the valley and glanced at the depths of the valley with a vigilant look on his face.

"Tianmei, since you have made an appointment to meet your husband, why haven't you shown up yet?"

Li Guiwang snorted coldly, and his voice shook the valley and continued to spread outward.

"Only Tianmei?"

He was slightly surprised.

Just now, when he was shouting, in addition to attracting Tianmei Xuenu to come out to meet him, he was also secretly using this sound wave secret technique to explore the surrounding situation to prevent any monks from ambushing nearby.

But the result was beyond his expectations.

Except for the Tianmei Snow Girl in a white dress who was playing the piano in the stone pavilion in the valley, there was no one else.

"Impossible! Jiang Lingzi, Wen Tianqi and the others are not stupid enough to let Tianmei Xuenu be alone. Jiang Lingzi, Wen Tianqi and the others must be hiding near Yejing Valley, but they are a little far away from us, so Master Xu didn't find them..."

After learning about the results of Li Guiwang's investigation, Ji Le Shen Hou frowned and was still unconvinced.

Putting himself in their shoes, he did not think that Wei Tu and the others would let Tianmei Xuenu go and allow her to meet her old lover Li Guiwang and leak their own intelligence.

"Search separately."

The Lord of Bliss commanded.

After saying this, he flew away first and searched towards the southwest, determined to find the hiding place of Wei Tu and others.

Seeing this situation, Qi Yaoxian and Yingui Old Man, who came out with Ji Le Shen Hou, also moved and searched in two other directions respectively.

however--

It was at this moment that the situation suddenly changed.

Three beams of light spread out from the clouds in the sky and chased in the directions of Ji Le Shen Hou, Qi Yaoxian and Yin Gui Old Man.

One of the blood-colored escape lights was particularly eye-catching, with thousands of blood crows lingering behind it, like a stream of red fire. With rumbling thunder, it was approaching the Lord of Bliss rapidly at a speed far exceeding that of an ordinary god.

"That's... Wen Tianqi?"

Upon seeing this, Li Guiwang, who was standing in the valley, suddenly changed his expression and understood why he could not find the trace of Wei Tu and the others. It turned out that just as Ji Le Shen Hou thought, the place where Wei Tu and the others were hiding was too far away from Ye Jing Valley, beyond the range of their spiritual awareness.

However, just as he was about to take advantage of the situation and help Ji Le Shen Hou and others in the battle, the Golden Silkworm Snow Girl suddenly appeared behind him and blocked his retreat.

Soon, the battle situation became very clear.

Wen Tianqi deals with the Lord of Bliss.

The Lion King deals with Qi Yaoxian.

Master Lan deals with the hidden ghost old man.

And his being the only one in the middle stage of Spirit Transformation attracted the joint efforts of the two Snow Ladies of the Great Snow Mountain.

In fact, it's not just the two snow maidens joining forces, there's also the senior from the spiritual world - Jiang Lingzi - who is parasitic on the golden silkworm snow maiden.

"Tianmei, do we really have to go this far?"

"I thought you would not betray me."

Li Guiwang sighed softly, with a tender look on his face, as he looked towards the Tianmei Xuenu who was playing the piano with her bare hands in the stone pavilion.

The sound of the piano is long and melodious, just like it was back then.

Zheng——

The strings of the zither broke, revealing that Tianmei Xuenu was not at peace at the moment. She raised her head and looked towards Li Guiwang, her clear eyes filled with tears, sliding down her cheeks.

"Husband." Tianmei Xuenu was moved and called softly, then she lightly stepped and flew towards the direction where the Ghost King was.

However, just as the two of them approached.

A cold light suddenly appeared.

However, behind Tianmei Xuenu, there appeared a Vajra Pestle, with a mysterious light appearing on its surface. It pierced straight into the woman's back like a sharp arrow.

"Bitch! How dare you deceive me? Die now!"

Li Guiwang shouted angrily, hoping that his voice could reach the ears of "Senior Pei" so that he could regain his trust.

In his eyes, Tianmei Xuenu was just a very useful female slave whom he discovered by chance when he was supporting affiliated forces according to the plan of the Mist Ghost Clan.

How could I have real feelings for this woman?

Moreover, this woman deceived him first and led him into this trap, so she deserved to die.

but--

At the moment when the Ghost King was using his spiritual consciousness to activate the Vajra Pestle, he suddenly found that a moon-wheel spiritual treasure appeared in front of his chest without him knowing when, and it went straight to his chest.

The protective shield he temporarily erected suddenly cracked like glass, and a huge force like a mountain pressing down on him instantly struck him, causing his body to tremble violently!

And that surprise attack was what he valued.

At this moment, it was easily blocked by the yellow folding fan that flew out from behind Tianmei Xuenu. The two collided, making a loud "clang" sound, and blocked each other.

"You deceived me!" The Ghost King was blasted hundreds of steps away by the Moon Wheel Magical Weapon, his robe exploded on his chest, blood was dripping, he widened his eyes, could not believe that Tianmei Xuenu would have such an intention, tricking him with the affection between husband and wife, and then launching a sneak attack on him.

Obviously, with Tianmei Xuenu's personality, she has always been submissive and would never resist him.

"Fellow Daoist Wen is right! Mr. Xu, you are not a good person. If Fellow Daoist Wen hadn't asked me to guard against you, I would have been dead by now..."

There were no more traces of tears on Tianmei Xuenu's face. She looked at Li Guiwang with hatred, and the rage in her eyes was about to burst out.

But at this moment, Ghost King Li obviously had no time to pay attention to the resentment of Tianmei Xuenu. When he saw the Golden Silkworm Xuenu blocking his retreat and showing the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation realm, he had already realized something.

He hurriedly said, "Senior Pei's true body is not on this old man, but on Jile. There is no need for so many people to deal with this old man. Go and help Wen Tianqi! With Senior Pei here, he will die if he cannot kill Jile!" (End of this chapter)
