I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

The battle on all four battlefields has ended here at Wei Tu, and the only ones left are the main battlefield with the Golden Silkworm Snow Girl and Jiang Lingzi, and the two secondary battlefields with Master Lan and Lou Shiwang.

With the strength of Jiang Lingzi and the Golden Silkworm Snow Girl, it is basically a sure victory for them to deal with Li Guiwang alone.

Therefore, in order to expand the advantage in this battle, Wei Tu and Tianmei Xue Nu did not rush to support the main battlefield of Yejing Valley, but escaped together and rushed to the place where Master Lan and Old Man Yin Gui were fighting.

Just as they thought.

Master Lan, who was in the middle stage of the Spiritual Transformation, had always been able to suppress the old man Yin Gui, who was in the early stage of the Spiritual Transformation. However, it was difficult for her to win quickly and kill the old man Yin Gui in a short period of time.

"Not good." Seeing Wei Tu and Tiancan Xuenu rushing over, the old man Yin Gui was also very anxious.

Before, he had thought about escaping from Master Lan, but because he was worried that "Senior Pei" would take revenge on him later, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and hold back Master Lan, the enemy's valuable combat force.

But he didn't expect that what he was waiting for was not the rescue from Senior Pei and others, but two enemies, Wei Tu and Tianmei Xuenu.

"Go!" Thinking of this, the old ghost did not dare to delay too much time. He sacrificed a black-armored corpse to take over the battle with Master Lan. Then, he pinched his fingers and turned into a black shadow. He escaped into the ground and fled in the opposite direction where Wei Tu and Master Lan were coming.

"Don't even think about escaping."

Master Lan's face was solemn, and a Buddha statue about an inch in size flew out from between her brows. Then golden light emerged from her fingertips, and a drop of blood dripped on the back of the Buddha statue.

The next moment, the Buddha statue was seen rising in the wind, running away from the ground, and chasing in the direction where the hidden ghost old man fled.

In the previous battle, she had already been ignored by Jiang Lingzi because she let Qi Yaoxian go. If she continued to let old man Yin Gui go now... not only would she lose the opportunity after this battle, but she would also inevitably lose face in the future.

Boom! Boom!
A golden Buddha statue, dozens of feet in size, burrowed into the ground, propped up the earth, and broke out of the ground like a dragon turning over, chasing the panicked and fleeing old ghost in front of it.

If you look closely, you can see that the ground under the feet of the golden Buddha statue has a layer of faint golden light.

It was this layer of golden light that made the old ghost's earth escape technique ineffective. He had nowhere to escape and was forced to barely run for his life under the pursuit of the giant golden Buddha.

This is almost equivalent to the realm of law mastered by the cultivators of the Void Refining Realm.

"The human world is truly full of talented people. This old nun actually refined the Dharma image into a Buddha statue. If she ascends to the spiritual world, after many years, she will at least be a combined cultivator." Upon seeing this, the ghost soul exclaimed with emotion.

Hearing this, Wei Tu was slightly shocked. He had just seen Master Lan using this magical power and thought that she had borrowed some secret treasure passed down from the Holy Buddha Temple. He never thought that this was actually the incarnation of Master Lan's true body.

Come to think of it! Master Lan was able to become one of the few mid-stage Spiritualization cultivators in the Great Yan cultivation world by practicing on her own. Her aptitude must be unrivaled in the world, but she is not as good as Jiang Lingzi, a senior in the human world who can ascend.

He thought to himself that if he did not use the high-level spiritual treasures obtained from the Royal Palace, and only fought with his realm strength, he might not be able to defeat Master Lan, and the odds would be fifty-fifty at best.

It's not that he is weak.

But Master Lan is not an ordinary deity.

In other words, he and Master Lan are both "Gu Kings" who emerged from the human world, and both have the power to crush ordinary divine cultivators born in the hotbed of the spirit world.

The two people, Lord Ji Le Shen Hou and Old Man Yin Gui, who were funded by the Fog Ghost Clan and then broke through the realm of transformation, undoubtedly belong to the latter.

"No need to take action, you and I can just watch the fight."

Wei Tu shook his head and stopped Tianmei Xuenu who was about to attack and kill the Hidden Ghost Old Man.

If Master Lan is not strong enough and there is a possibility that she will let the Hidden Ghost Old Man go, the two of them can still take action.

Now, the outcome has been decided, and if the two of them take action again, they will inevitably be suspected of stealing the credit.

Half an hour later.

Under Master Lan's full-strength attack, the old man Yin Gui finally showed signs of defeat, with cold sweat and blood all over his face. Only one tenth of his magic power remained.

"I am willing to surrender, please spare my life, Master. God is merciful and people in the Buddhist sect never kill..." The old ghost begged for mercy incoherently.

However, Master Lan was not at all moved by this plea for mercy. She snorted coldly, and the giant golden Buddha on the ground raised its big foot and stomped hard on the hidden ghost old man on the ground.

"No!"

The old ghost wailed miserably, his body being crushed into a paste under the millstone-sized feet of the Buddha. Even the white and tender Nascent Soul hidden in his Dantian was cracked and exploded, transforming into pure magical power and spiritual tides that spread in all directions.

"Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission." Master Lan smiled slightly, put her palms together, chanted a Buddhist name, and at the same time took back the golden Buddha's image and the storage devices on the ghost old man, and flew towards Wei Tu and Tianmei Xuenu.

But that's it.

Wei Tu, who was watching the battle on the side, suddenly moved. His body turned into thousands of blood crows. He instantly came to the battlefield and punched the ground where the huge Buddha's foot was imprinted.

Boom!
Suddenly, the earth shook.

A light black ghost was smashed out by Wei Tu in the mirror-like void.

The figure of this ghost was exactly the same as the old ghost. After being forced to break away from the void, he fled with fear on his face.

"He's not dead yet?"

Master Lan was horrified when she saw this, and the smile on her face disappeared instantly. She never expected that the old ghost man would be so difficult to deal with. Even though his Nascent Soul was dead, he was still alive in the world.

Swish!
The next moment, Wei Tu attacked again. When the ghost transformed by the old man Hidden Ghost had just escaped a hundred steps, a golden fist hit him in the face from the air.

There were two loud noises, "bang" and "bang".

The ghost was blasted into the ground, and its solid body broke into pieces, turning into black powder, completely lifeless.

Only a black jade box was left, remaining in its original place.

Wei Tu was not polite about the jade box. He flicked his sleeves and put it into the storage bag he was carrying.

"Fortunately, Fellow Daoist Wen is here, otherwise the old nun and the Holy Buddha Temple would be in endless trouble."

Master Lan thanked Wei Tu with a grateful look on her face.

Just now, Wei Tu's action not only did not steal her credit, but instead gave her a great help.

Although the Hidden Ghost Old Man was not worth mentioning to her, if she could kill this beast once, she could kill him a second time.

But... for the monks in the Holy Buddha Temple, this is not the case.

If the old ghost is determined to take revenge on the Holy Buddha Temple, then given his ability to escape, the Holy Buddha Temple will never have peace.

"Wen was also lucky..."

Wei Tu smiled calmly, remaining humble as always, and not being complacent or arrogant towards others.

When Master Lan saw this scene, she had a better impression of Wei Tu and wanted to make friends with him sincerely.

After all, there may not be many Divine Transformation cultivators like Wei Tu who are so powerful and know how to act in moderation, let alone in the Great Yan cultivation world, even in the entire human world.

only--

Just as the two of them finished their greetings and prepared to set off for Night Crystal Valley, a soul token in their storage bag suddenly broke.

"Is it Mr. Lou?"

The two looked at each other and were suddenly shocked.

Lou Shiwang's opponent is Qi Yaoxian - according to common sense, even if he is no match for this old rival, he will not be defeated and killed so quickly.

"Could it be... Pei Hong who took action?"

Wei Tu raised his eyebrows slightly, as if thinking about something.

Pei Hong was hit by the "curse power" of the ghost god's soul, and his strength was greatly damaged. It is unlikely that he would be able to help the Ghost Shadow Palace monks in other battlefields.

However, this is just his estimate.

It was not Pei Hong’s real choice.

The holy son of the Mist Ghost Clan keenly sensed the weakest point on the battlefield - the Lou Lion King.

In the main battlefield of Yejing Valley, there were Golden Silkworm Snow Girl and Jiang Lingzi, so Pei Hong did not dare to go there easily.

And Master Lan is in the open, so it is not easy to attack the cultivator in the middle stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm on their side.

After all the calculations, it seems that only Lou Shiwang is the best candidate.

Seeing this, Wei Tu, Master Lan, and Tianmei Xue Nu did not dare to waste time. They all turned into a beam of light and rushed to the place where Lou Shiwang died.

But unfortunately, when they arrived, the building was already empty, leaving only the magical spiritual tide left around the Lion King when he died.

……

Half an hour later.

Wei Tu, Master Lan and Tianmei Xue Nu rushed to Yejing Valley to meet up with Jincan Xue Nu and Jiang Lingzi.

Fortunately, facing the siege of Jiang Lingzi and the Golden Silkworm Snow Girl, Li Guiwang did not escape calmly. He was trapped in a huge ice pillar by the fifth-level formation formed by Jiang Lingzi's "Snow Law".

It is equivalent to capturing him alive.

"Pei Hong, you have reached the end of the road now, why don't you come out?" Jiang Lingzi frowned slightly, looked at the Ghost King Li who was trapped in the ice pillar, and asked in a cold voice.

Before this, he was slightly shaken by the words of Li Guiwang, and thought that Pei Hong was hiding in Ji Le Shen Hou, but now seeing Wei Tu returning safely... he would no longer believe Li Guiwang's lies.

"Senior Pei is in Ji Le. I really did not lie about this matter." Li Guiwang's face was extremely ugly. At this point, there was no need for him to lie.

The words fell.

Jiang Lingzi couldn't help but sigh softly.

"It seems that Pei Hong is hiding in Qi Yaoxian's body. I made a wrong judgment." He mistakenly thought that Pei Hong was hiding in Qi Yaoxian's body early on, which led to the death of Lou Shiwang.

"Qi Yaoxian is not a cultivator from the Ghost Shadow Palace. Who would have thought that Pei Hong would hide in her body? This is something we could not have predicted. Senior Jiang Lingzi does not need to blame himself..."

Master Lan stepped forward and tried to persuade her.

Hearing this, Wei Tu's eyes flickered slightly, and he glanced at Tianmei Xuenu beside him, signaling her not to tell the truth for the time being.

"I understand."

Tianmei Xuenu nodded her head slightly and replied.

She was not a novice cultivator, so how could she not know how detrimental it would be to Wei Tu if she told the truth?

You know, if Wei Tu hadn't been so powerful in this battle, he would probably have died because of this incident.

Once the truth was revealed, Wei Tu would be put in an extremely passive situation - because it was difficult for both of them to know Jiang Lingzi's true thoughts.

When Li Guiwang revealed the true location of Pei Hong, Jiang Lingzi did not choose to rescue Wei Tu for the sake of the overall situation. There is nothing wrong with this.

The only point is that Jiang Lingzi can hardly guarantee whether Wei Tu is a narrow-minded or broad-minded person, and whether he will hold a grudge against him because of this.

This is where the crisis of trust begins.

If Wei Tu did not have the potential to ascend, Jiang Lingzi would just laugh off this grudge and treat it as a trivial matter.

But Wei Tu was identified by Jiang Lingzi as a potential junior to be trained and the next person to ascend.

——If loyalty is not absolute, it is absolute disloyalty.

There are many young people with potential, and no one will take the huge risk to train people who are different from themselves.

If the truth is not told, then the Ghost King will just keep talking nonsense, disturbing the ears, and no one will take it seriously.

"Are you sure you can deal with Pei Hong without relying on Jiang Lingzi?"

Wei Tu took a deep breath and asked the ghost soul.

This is not an exaggeration, but it is related to his actual interests. He does not want to have a falling out with Jiang Lingzi because of this, which will affect his future ascension.

"With your strength, it's difficult! After breaking through the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation, there may be some chances. However, Jiang Lingzi obviously won't wait too long. He must have the method to search for Pei Hong's true body..." The ghost soul replied.

"However, I am sure that I can destroy Pei Hong's soul before he dies, so that Jiang Lingzi will not know about this matter when searching his soul..."

The ghost soul paused and added.

As soon as these words came out, Wei Tu was immediately delighted and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Jiang Lingzi doesn't search Pei Hong's soul, he can regard anything Pei Hong says as a counter-espionage plot to alienate the feelings and trust between them.

However, in this way, he would miss the opportunity to locate Pei Hong by using the soul imprint left by the ghost god's split soul.

But that’s fine too.

The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it.

He also had no suitable excuse to explain why he was able to escape from Pei Hong and even force him to retreat.

As long as he leaves some initial starting capital with the human race in the spiritual world, with his "late bloomer" fate, he will rise sooner or later.

There is no need to rush into making great achievements.

The merit of killing the Lord of Bliss alone is enough for him now.

"It's a blessing! Pei Hong's true body is with King Loushi, not with you. Otherwise, if you died, I would not be able to report to Shui Yao."

After mourning the death of King Lou Shi, Jiang Lingzi’s joking voice immediately sounded in Wei Tu’s mind.

"Senior, what you said..."

Hearing this, Wei Tu didn't know what to say. After all, he and the Golden Silkworm Snow Girl were just acquaintances and there was no romantic relationship between them. He could only give a bitter smile as a reply.

"Haha, it's just a joke."

Seeing that there was no strange expression on Wei Tu's face, Jiang Lingzi, who had been staring at Wei Tu out of the corner of his eye, relaxed a little. He smiled slightly, patted Wei Tu on the shoulder, and signaled Wei Tu not to worry about it.

"It seems that this boy can still be trusted."

Jiang Lingzi thought secretly,
He also wanted to regard the ascended Wei Tu as a part of his future expansion of power. Naturally, he was worried that Wei Tu would become disloyal and dissatisfied with him.

Fortunately, he was lucky. Pei Hong did not target Ji Le Shen Hou, but Qi Yao Xian, which made Lou Shi Wang, the young man, unlucky for once. (End of this chapter)
