I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

Regardless of whether the killing of Lianxu of the Fire Sheep Clan was for Wei Tu's sake, overall, the human race was quite happy.

Being able to defeat other races is beneficial to the human race!

However, as time goes by.

Half a day later.

The expression of the Blood Stone Sect's leader was the same as that of the Fire Sheep Clan before, his eyes were cold and his face looked ugly.

"Suo Xiang is dead." He clenched his right hand hidden in his sleeve and said in a hoarse voice.

"Is it the female cultivator from the Snow Infant Clan?" Master Jianyang frowned and made a judgment.

Suo Xiang was the eleventh group of Void-Refining cultivators to enter the Stone Cocoon Secret Realm. The alien cultivator who entered the secret realm with him was the daughter of the Snow Infant Clan leader, the girl in white robes.

"The fact that Xue Qiongyu was chosen by the Wugui tribe and was hired as Pei Hong's fiancée is probably related to this girl, as the Snow Infant tribe has made great progress in strength compared to the past and the number of people in the tribe who have combined together is as many as a palm..."

"This woman has extraordinary talents, which are beyond the reach of ordinary cultivators."

The old monk Xuan Ku sighed softly and used these words to comfort the leader of the Bloodstone Sect.

Hearing this, the Bloodstone Sect's leader's expression improved a little.

Although the loss of a Void Refining cultivator was not small, the Blood Stone Sect was a large and powerful sect, so it was still within his acceptable range.

He nodded, his eyes showing a serious expression as he said, "It seems that this woman is the leader of the Snow Infant Clan... This is the reason why she dares to change the rules of the Sword Fighting Competition this time."

"This woman is only at the initial stage of the Void Refining Realm, and she doesn't carry any treasures with her. How could she have such abilities?"

The several combined beings were puzzled and thought for a moment, then focused their attention on Jiang Lingzi. After all, the formation barrier that was responsible for the "inspection" this time was set up by Jiang Lingzi.

Although this look was not meant to accuse him, the pressure contained in it still made Jiang Lingzi respond with a wry smile.

"In terms of realm, this young man is definitely in the early stage of Void Refining, so there should be no problem. But whether this girl is carrying a high-level spiritual treasure... this formation barrier is difficult to check clearly."

"You know - the spiritual restrictions of high-level spiritual treasures are not easy to detect even if we combine our bodies, let alone this hastily arranged formation barrier..."

Jiang Lingzi shook his head and told the truth.

The words fell.

Master Jianyang, Old Monk Xuanku, and the leader of the Bloodstone Sect looked at each other, nodded silently, and no longer mentioned whether there was a "omission" in the formation barrier.

We can't let Jiang Lingzi work hard but get nothing in return.

After all - in this sword fighting competition, even without the formation barrier set up by Jiang Lingzi, the two forces' refining cultivators will still have to fight for the "Dao treasure" in the Shijian secret realm!
Jiang Lingzi's formation and barrier can help the human race to curb the strength of these alien races, which is a great contribution to the human race.

……

same moment.

The secret realm of stone cocoon, in a hidden valley.

The white-robed girl from the Snow Infant tribe had a cold expression on her face. She placed her slender hands on a burly man whose mouth was bleeding and whose breath had already stopped, and ended the soul search.

If there were any cultivators from the Blood Stone Sect here, they would definitely recognize that this burly man is the famous and renowned genius in the sect, known as the "Blood Stone Sword Immortal" - "Suo Xiang".

But in front of the girl in white robe, the dead Suo Xiang still had a look of fear on his face and knelt on his knees, as if he had encountered great terror and torture in his lifetime.

“The monk who killed Yang Sheng… turned out to be called Wei Tu.” The white-robed girl murmured softly, her eyes, which were devoid of any emotion, rarely showing a look of interest.

The name Wei Tu sounded unfamiliar to her. He didn't seem to be the famous Void-Refining cultivator in the human world. However, the fact that he was able to kill Yang Sheng of the Fire Sheep Clan showed that his strength was beyond doubt.

Otherwise, her father wouldn't have asked her to be careful of Wei Tu.

"Young Patriarch, you should put the overall situation first. It won't be too late to kill Wei Tu after you obtain the treasure."

Just as the girl in white robe was about to fly away, a hoarse old voice suddenly sounded in her mind.

"Don't worry, Granny Tu. Yu'er knows the key points. Although this guard map is a great threat to other tribesmen in this stone cocoon secret realm...but compared to the gains and losses of that treasure, the death of a few tribesmen is not that important."

"Before leaving, my father has already told me that Yu'er is not so confused at this moment."

"Besides, my father has also brought along several major tribes such as the Fire Sheep Tribe and the Wood Spirit Tribe. Even if all the cultivators of my Snow Infant Tribe who enter this secret realm die, the casualties will not be that tragic."

The girl in white robe paused and said calmly.

"It's good that the young clan leader knows. That treasure is related to whether the clan leader can make further progress... Once the clan leader achieves the late stage of fusion, you will marry into the Mist Ghost Clan, and no matter how powerful the Mist Ghost Clan is, they will have to treat you with courtesy..." The old voice named Granny Tu replied with a relieved tone.

When she heard the words "Mist Ghost Clan", a hint of disgust appeared in the eyes of the girl in white robe, but she hid it very well and did not show it.

"Late stage of fusion? I heard that treasure can enter an immortal ruins." She said with a slight flash in her eyes and a little surprise.

"In the Immortal Ruins, there are opportunities to break through to the Mahayana stage. But such opportunities are not something that the clan leader can easily seize. If we are lucky enough to enter once and break through to the late stage of fusion and the peak of fusion, it will be a great fortune for our Snow Infant Clan."

Granny Tu explained in a gentle voice, without any impatience.

"That's good! If father can break through to the late stage of fusion, Yu'er will be valued and cultivated by the Mist Ghost Clan after she marries Pei Hong. Pei Hong's biological mother is the only daughter of the great elder of the Four-Armed Ape Clan. If she gives me some resources... that will be enough for me to use."

A look of delight appeared on the face of the girl in white robe, and from her words, she seemed to be very satisfied with the fact that she married into the Mist Ghost clan.

Hearing this, the "Grandma Tu" hidden in the body of the white-robed girl nodded secretly, and after continuing to tell the white-robed girl a few words, she disappeared again.

……

When the girl in white robe left the valley.

On the other side, Wei Tu, who was in the opposite direction of the Stone Cocoon Secret Realm, had finally sorted out the spoils in his hands and carried out basic summary and organization.

In this "Sword Fighting Competition", unless it was absolutely necessary, Wei Tu would not easily reveal his two trump cards, the Blood Winged Mok and the [Five Elements Demon Slayer Ring]...

Therefore, fighting to support fighting and absorbing the conventional methods of the Void Refining Realm has become his only way now.

“Although the Fire Sheep Clan has a lot of Refined Voids, after fighting with them with the Refined Corpse Formation… the only treasure that really falls into my hands and is useful to me is this Arrow Spirit Treasure…”

Wei Tu took a look at the three black arrows in his palm that were glowing with a faint light and had cracks on the surface, and sighed quietly.

This time, he had tried his best to "quickly kill" the Fire Sheep Clan's Lianxu in order to preserve his legacy as much as possible. But unfortunately, Lianxu was a Lianxu cultivator after all - there was no way his trump card would be useless, so he was easily killed by him.

After all, after the battle, he was lucky enough to get these three black arrow magic treasures.

After sorting out the relics of Lianxu from the Fire Sheep Clan.

Wei Tu flipped his palm, took out two medium-grade spirit crystals, entered into a state of meditation and breathed in and out on the spot to restore his magic power.

A few hours later.

When he opened his eyes, the token hanging around his waist, representing the monks of Dangyang Mountain, also began to flicker at this moment.

Seeing this scene, he thought for a moment, then his figure flashed and left the cave where he was hiding, and reunited with Ye Ya and Zhuang Changyou, who also belonged to the Dangyang Mountain Taoist school.

This sword fighting competition.

Whether it is the human side or the alien side, they generally have two goals.

1. Kill as many hostile Lianxu as possible.

2. Seize the Nine-Hole Stone Man.

After killing Lianxu of the Fire Sheep Clan, Wei Tu's biggest goal of entering the Stone Cocoon Secret Realm has been achieved - with this merit, plus the merit accumulated in the human world, it is enough to exchange for a sixth-level spiritual item for body refining.

Therefore, the Nine-Aperture Stone Man was not something he had to fight for.

Besides, he had no intention of taking too many risks in the Stone Cocoon Secret Realm for the benefit of the human race.

Heroic characters are destined to be tragic.

This is a truth he knew early on.

However, joining forces with the monks of their respective forces and then competing for the Nine-Aperture Stone Man was a strategic plan formulated by Jiang Lingzi and other human races. No matter how selfish he was, he dared not openly disobey this order.

Half an hour later.

On a steep cliff.

Wei Tu, Ye Ya and Zhuang Changyou, three Void-Refining Monks from Dangyang Mountain, successfully reunited in the Stone Cocoon Secret Realm.

However, compared with Ye Ya, Wei Tu and Zhuang Changyou were obviously much weaker, their robes were torn and there was a trace of blood at the corners of their mouths.

Ye Ya did not find this scene strange. If she had not been careful and prepared, she would have been ambushed and seriously injured by the aliens when she was first teleported into the Stone Cocoon Secret Realm.

However, the injured Wei Tu and Zhuang Changyou secretly felt that there was something wrong with each other and their thoughts were in turmoil.

"Maybe I'm overthinking it. This Wei Tu has just ascended to heaven not long ago. Even if his foundation is solid, he doesn't have anything good in his hands. He can't deal with that foreign cultivator..." Zhuang Changyou thought to himself.

It is true that Wei Tu is appreciated by Jiang Lingzi, but appreciation is just appreciation, and Wei Tu is not Jiang Lingzi's biological son... No matter how capable Jiang Lingzi is, he can't just give Wei Tu a "treasure" of the Lianxu level at will.

After all, Jiang Lingzi had just achieved the fusion not long ago, and his foundation was far from reaching the first level of fusion.

"In my opinion, since Friend Wei and I are both injured, we might as well hide in the outer area of ​​the Stone Cocoon Secret Realm and leave the Stone Cocoon Secret Realm after one month."

There was a strange light flashing in Zhuang Changyou's eyes. After pondering for a moment, he was the first to say this.

This sentence also fits his "personality": the older you get, the more afraid you are of death.

Originally, this sword fighting competition was just a competition on the ring, and normally no one would be killed.

Now, the rules have been changed. The slightest mistake will result in death in the Stone Cocoon Secret Realm - how can the eleven human cultivators who entered the Stone Cocoon Secret Realm not have complaints?

Not everyone is willing to sacrifice themselves for the greater good of humanity.

On the contrary, if they just hang around in the secret realm, even after leaving the secret realm, the sect's combined cultivators will blame them... but it is expected that they will not be able to punish them for any serious crime. After all, they are Void Refining cultivators after all, and are among the high-level ones in the sect.

"No!" Ye Ya glanced at him with a murderous look and directly rejected Zhuang Changyou's proposal.

He said coldly, "Brother Zhuang is happy to hide, but what about me and Brother Wei? We both still want to enter the Human Ancestor Temple... Can Brother Zhuang compensate us for this?"

Ye Ya's words were blunt, and she didn't use any sense of justice for the human race to kidnap Wei Tu and Zhuang Changyou. Her words only implied one meaning: it is not shameful to escape, but what about your future?
This is exactly the reason why Wei Tu rushed to meet up with Ye Ya and Zhuang Changyou.

So, after Ye Ya said this, he immediately agreed with Ye Ya.

It seems that Wei Tu and Ye Ya’s opinions are becoming more consistent.

A bitter look soon appeared on Zhuang Changyou's face. After hesitating for a while, he nodded and agreed with Ye Ya's decision.

"But let me make this clear first..."

"I'm injured. When I go to grab the Nine-Aperture Stone Man, I hope Fairy Ye can take care of me..."

Zhuang Changyou said this shamelessly.

After hearing this, Ye Ya showed a hint of disgust on her face, but she did not refuse. Perhaps it was because of their friendship as fellow disciples. After hesitating for a moment, she agreed.

"Friend Wei, please stand behind me. I have a defensive magic treasure that can deal with sneak attacks from foreign races."

Ye Ya showed goodwill to Wei Tu.

However, after hearing this, Wei Tu did not move forward like Zhuang Changyou did. Instead, he suddenly took a big step back, putting a long distance between himself and Ye Ya and Zhuang Changyou.

This sudden scene.

Ye Ya and Zhuang Changyou's expressions changed instantly.

"Why is Brother Wei like this? Is there something wrong with this evil woman?" Zhuang Changyou also quickly took a step back and moved closer to the direction where Wei Tu was.

But Wei Tu did not answer this. He glanced at the two of them with a flash of eyes, flicked his sleeves, and in an instant turned into a ray of blood light, and fled at the speed of blood escape.

"Chase!" Ye Ya gave the order in a cold voice. A thick red shadow appeared behind her, completely wrapping her up. After a flash of red light, it instantly rushed towards the direction where Wei Tu fled.

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhuang Changyou, who had just opposed Ye Ya, became very obedient and followed Ye Ya's escape light closely, chasing after Wei Tu.

However, because of his injury, Zhuang Changyou's escape speed was obviously slower than Ye Ya's. After chasing for a while, he was left far behind by Ye Ya.

At this moment, Ye Ya, who was at the front, gradually found it difficult to lock onto Wei Tu's position with her spiritual sense. She frowned slightly, thought for a moment, then stopped where she was and did not continue to chase him.

After all, she was the only one left, and there was no guarantee that she would be able to keep Wei Tu after catching up with him.

"The plan failed. How did he know that there is a connection between you and me?" Ye Ya looked at Zhuang Changyou coldly and questioned.

At this moment, the two of them did not seem like fellow disciples from Dangyang Mountain, but rather like superiors and subordinates in terms of positions.

"I don't know about this either. I have already followed Fairy Ye's instructions and set up a plan to invite only Wei Tu... leaving Wei Tu with the impression that I have ulterior motives, to protect Fairy Ye..."

Zhuang Changyou quickly shook his head in defense.

It is not easy to gain the trust of a strange monk in a short period of time and then murder him.

But if we change our thinking - let Wei Tu think that he is the only "person with ulterior motives" in the Dangyang Mountain team, it would not be difficult to prove Ye Ya's "innocence".

After all, no matter what, it is impossible that all the cultivators sent by Dangyang Mountain this time are traitors.

However, what he and Ye Ya did not expect was that this flawless plan, which should not fail, was exposed in front of Wei Tu.

"No, there is nothing wrong with the plan. It should be this Wei Tu... who used some means to guess that there is something wrong with you and me. Of course, maybe he is too cautious..."

Ye Ya said with a gloomy expression.

"Fortunately, the purpose of our coming here is not for the Wei Tu. If this fails, then it fails. A Wei Tu alone will not ruin our plan..."

"At most... we lost a helper when trying to capture the Nine-Aperture Stone Man."

Ye Ya exhaled a breath of foul air and continued. (End of this chapter)
