I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

The probability that he let the alien deity leave was to deliberately place a "bait" to lure those Void-Refining Monks who wanted to take advantage of the situation to rob him into the cave and to accomplish some ulterior motives.

"However, how does this cultivator ensure that the cultivators he attracts are only at the level of Refining Void and not above the Fusion Realm..."

"And can we catch all these people in one fell swoop?"

Wei Tu became confused and became more wary of the "secret cave" under the Yunwu Swamp. After all, the Huamu tribe had a powerful fusion master in their tribe thousands of years ago.

Who knows if the Huamu tribe's Lianxu has any hidden tricks at the fusion level!
“Let’s take a look first…” Wei Tu’s eyes flashed with golden light as he stared at the cultivator who had rushed here after him.

There are three cultivators in this group, two women and one man, all of whom are in the middle stage of the Void Refinement Realm, which is quite impressive.

There was nothing special about the man's appearance. He was dressed like an ordinary Confucian scholar. The grey scales on his cheeks proved that he came from the Liuyun Clan, a large clan in the Wanlin Lakes.

The two female cultivators are quite special.

One was a middle-aged woman, but she was wearing a blood-red armor, and her tough aura was undoubtedly revealed.

The other is a charming young woman with a faint smile on her face. She is wearing a pink dress and has a white fox tail behind her, swaying slightly, which is very charming.

"A cultivator from the Sky Fox Clan?" Wei Tu raised his eyebrows, recognizing the identity of this alien race which was extremely rare in the Lei Ze Continent but well-known in the spiritual world.

This tribe, like the human race, is one of the ten spiritual tribes.

Different from this, the cultivators in the world tend to list the two major "Ten Spirit Clans", the Sky Fox Clan and the Roaring Sky Clan, on the same level, because the starting capital of these two major Ten Spirit Clans was to be "servant clans" of other powerful clans.

The Xiaotian Clan is the "servant clan" of the Yulong Clan.

The Sky Fox Clan is the "servant clan" of the "Ghost Phoenix Clan". Most of the cultivators in the clan marry the Ghost Phoenix Clan cultivators to serve as concubines or male favorites.

Nowadays, the appearance of a female cultivator from the Sky Fox Clan in the Lei Ze Continent is undoubtedly a very rare thing.

"Mr. Yun, is this the place that your tribe's cultivators reported, the place where the Huamu tribe's Lianxu cultivators are hiding?" The female cultivator from the Sky Fox tribe giggled and covered her mouth with her hands. She looked at the leading Confucian-robed cultivator with amorous eyes and asked.

"It should be correct."

"This should be the hiding place of the 'living dead'." The monk in Confucian robes scanned the surrounding environment with his spiritual sense, determined the geographical location, and nodded.

"Okay! The place has been determined. Now it's time to talk about how to distribute the spoils after the expedition." The middle-aged woman in blood-red armor glanced sharply at the Confucian monk and the female cultivator of the Sky Fox clan, and said in an indifferent tone.

"You and I can split it equally."

"But... that Huamu tribe cultivator is at the late stage of the Refining Void Realm. In order to avoid working without contributing, whoever kills this person first will have the priority to choose a spiritual object. How do you think?"

The monk in Confucian robes had obviously prepared something for this. After hearing this, he smiled slightly and gave an answer.

"I agree." The female cultivator from the Sky Fox clan was the first to express her opinion. She looked at the cultivator in Confucian robes with affection, as if she were a supporter of this cultivator, not just a Great Refining Void Master of the same realm.

Upon seeing this, the middle-aged woman in blood-stained armor looked at the female cultivator from the Sky Fox clan with disgust, as if she was naturally uncomfortable with this woman's "affectation".

However, with the vote being two to one, she would not speak out against this distribution method.

Simple communication completed.

The three of them wasted no time and immediately used their magical powers to open up a small, narrow path on the surface of the "Cloud Swamp" leading to the underground "secret cave".

But at this time - whether it was the Confucian monk, the female cultivator of the Sky Fox clan, or the middle-aged woman who seemed to have an impatient personality, none of them immediately fled into this place. Instead, with a cold light flashing in their eyes, they released the vast spiritual sense in their sea of ​​consciousness and scanned the surrounding area to prevent other cultivators from hiding in secret.

After confirming that everything was correct, the three of them looked at each other, and with a flash of light, they fled downwards.

Half a day later.

Hundreds of miles away, Wei Tu, who had been hiding, slowly appeared and came to the "narrow path" leading to the bottom of the swamp.

"Master, do you want to go in? With our magical powers, there should be a good chance that we can successfully seize the treasure." The blood-winged mole standing on Wei Tu's shoulder was eager to try.

With the protection of the Sky-Splitting Eagle's space escape method, it is much braver than when it was in the lower world.

“Don’t go in yet…” Upon hearing this, Wei Tu’s face showed hesitation, but after hesitating for a moment, he still shook his head firmly in denial.

The danger in this "secret cave" is difficult to predict. Even if he has reached the peak of the Void Refinement Realm, he still needs to think carefully before entering. What's more, he is only at the... initial stage of the Void Refinement Realm.

"Compared to this, it is more cost-effective to set up an ambush here. Of course, there is the risk of losing... three Qianjun spirit dolls."

Wei Tu's eyes flickered slightly, and he ruthlessly summoned out the three sixth-level refined corpses in the corpse bag and hid them near the passage.

Then, he chanted some magic spells in succession, setting down dozens of secret restrictions that were difficult to detect with the naked eye but extremely powerful. Then he flicked his sleeves and fled dozens of miles away.

There are only two possible outcomes.

First, the three Lianxu monks who entered this secret cave were "killed" by the Lianxu monks of the Huamu tribe inside the secret cave, and it was difficult for any of them to escape alive.

Second, there is no danger in the secret cave, and Wei Tu was just being too cautious. After killing the Huamu tribe's refining cultivator and snatching the treasure, the three refining cultivators will leave "smoothly".

If it was the former, then all the arrangements made by Wei Tu were useless and unnecessary.

He was betting on the second possibility.

This Lianxu cultivator of the Huamu tribe was killed by these three Lianxu cultivators, and these three Lianxu cultivators were also injured or even died... leaving him with certain opportunities to take advantage of.

But if these three people came out intact——

Then, not only would Wei Tu's arrangements fail, but they would backfire and he would lose the three sixth-level refined corpses used to set up the formation.

After all, he had no confidence in dealing with three powerful mid-stage Void Refinement masters who were at a higher level than him by himself.

However, it's all worth it.

Compared with the risks, the results once achieved will undoubtedly be huge.

"Wait patiently."

Dozens of miles away, Wei Tu flicked his sleeves and covered his body with his "life force", making his presence in this "cloudy swamp" suddenly become vague.

Just like before, the three Void Refining Monks did not notice it.

Time passes slowly.

From the depths of the secret cave, the obscure fluctuations of magical power gradually emerged.

Until more than ten days later——

A dull buzzing sound suddenly came from the depths of the secret cave and rushed towards the sky above the "Cloud Swamp".

Following closely behind, there was also an unfathomable spiritual pressure, which rushed up like a sharp arrow, raging and rippling.

“Combined pressure?” Upon seeing this, Wei Tu’s face suddenly changed color, revealing a rare look of fear. Without hesitation, he turned into a green rainbow, burning his blood and essence, and fled to a location opposite to the secret cave.

At this moment, he had to thank himself for maintaining enough patience for the opportunity here, otherwise he would be the one facing this "great power in fusion" inside the secret cave.

"As expected, this secret cave is a trap set by the Huamu Clan's Lianxu... But why did the Huamu Clan Lianxu want to attract cultivators to this secret cave?"

Wei Tu fled to a safe distance and hid himself again, thinking in doubt and uncertainty.

However, Wei Tu remained rational at this time. After a brief shock, he quickly recovered. With a flash of his eyes, he took out several formation flags and set up a formation on the spot.

The next moment, a water mirror slowly condensed above these several formation flags, and within the water mirror was the real-time scene near the secret cave.

All I saw was—after the huge spiritual pressure, from the depths of the secret cave, there was a "boom" of shocking black lightning, raging near the passage.

Its terrifying power quickly caused the forbidden auras that Wei Tu had set up near the passage to dissipate and shatter one by one.

"The fluctuation of mana at the fusion level, there really is a fusion cultivator lurking in this secret cave..." Wei Tu took a deep breath and no longer had any optimistic ideas about the three virtual-refinement cultivators who had entered this secret cave.

Just now.

Suddenly, several pink rays of light emerged from the depths of the secret cave. After a flash of light, they desperately fled towards the sky above the Cloudy Swamp, which was the entrance of the passage.

But unfortunately, the power of the black lightning that flooded the entrance of the passage was too strong. After colliding with the arc of black lightning, the several pink rays of light could not even last for a few breaths and were easily annihilated into nothingness.

However, just when Wei Tu thought that the Void Refining Monk in the pink light had failed to escape, a black arc of electricity suddenly "burst out" from the raging black lightning. After a flash of black light, it reappeared several miles away!

“Puwa——”

A mouthful of blood spurted into the air.

The black electric arc transformed into a female cultivator from the Sky Fox Clan. Her pink clothes were torn into pieces, and her face no longer had the previous charm. Her fair skin was dyed as black as charcoal, and was covered in blood.

"She actually managed to escape successfully?" Wei Tu raised his eyebrows slightly and developed a strong interest in this female cultivator from the Sky Fox clan.

Firstly, this woman had an amazing ability to escape. She was able to face a powerful being in his combined form without dying and successfully survived.

Either you have a precious treasure or you have a secret skill.

The second is the specific information this woman knows about the "secret cave".

“As for the three sixth-level refined corpses… let’s abandon them for now!” A hint of decisiveness flashed in Wei Tu’s eyes, and without hesitation, he followed the direction of the Sky Fox clan’s female cultivator’s escape.

It’s different in the past.

Several decades ago, when he first entered the realm of refining emptiness, he had no trump cards except for a few spiritual treasures like the [Xuanling Gold Chain]. He could only gather three sixth-level refined corpses as a means to fight against the enemies.

——【Xuanling Gold Chain】is the magic treasure used by Fairy Xuanling during her lifetime. Unless it is absolutely necessary, he will not use it easily in front of other cultivators to avoid revealing his true strength.

But now, after killing Ye Ya, Lianxu from the Mountain Ghost Clan, and Lianxu from the Fire Sheep Clan, three other Lianxu masters of the same level, the number of sixth-level spiritual treasures on his body has long exceeded one palm.

Temporarily discarding these three sixth-level refined corpses and the [Qianjun Spirit Dolls] contained in them will not have any major impact on him.

"Someone?"

On the other side, Lianxu of the Sky Fox Clan, who was fleeing in a hurry, also sensed Wei Tu's pursuit at this moment.

Her expression changed slightly at first, and then after sensing that Wei Tu's realm was only the "early stage of refining emptiness", a hint of relief flashed in the depths of her eyes.

Although she was injured now, she was not someone who could be bullied by a mere cultivator in the early stage of the Void Refinement Realm.

But soon, she realized something and the alarm bells in her mind started ringing.

"Why is this cultivator in the Cloud and Mist Swamp?"

"And you happened to see me running for my life?"

The female cultivator from the Sky Fox clan swallowed her saliva and suddenly felt afraid of Wei Tu's pursuit.

She did not hesitate and immediately increased her speed by pinching her fingers to try to get rid of Wei Tu.

However, what surprised her was that no matter how "hard" she tried, Wei Tu behind her was chasing her closely, not getting any further away, but getting closer and closer as time went by.

"If you continue like this, you might be killed by this cultivator."

The female cultivator from the Sky Fox clan took a deep breath and no longer insisted on escaping. She took out two medium-grade spirit crystals from the storage device, held them tightly in her hands, and then entered into a state of meditation on the spot, directly recovering her magic power.

Wei Tu, who followed closely, saw this scene and his eyes flashed slightly, but he did not rush to take action.

But seeing Wei Tu chasing after her, how could the female cultivator of the Sky Fox Clan remain calm? She opened her charming fox eyes, stared at Wei Tu closely, and said in a very cold voice: "I have no grudges against you, Daoist friend. Why are you chasing me?"

"Although I was injured in the secret cave, I am still in the middle stage of the Void Refining Realm. If I fight to the death, I think it should not be difficult to drag you down with me."

After this was said, Wei Tu did not remain silent or turn a deaf ear to it.

This female cultivator from the Sky Fox Clan was the only one among the three cultivators who entered the cave to successfully escape. She was definitely not an ordinary person.

There is a high probability that he is a cultivator with an extraordinary background. It is really hard to say whether he is carrying any powerful spiritual treasure on him.

"I came to see you this time not to hunt you down, but to ask you about... the matter in the secret cave, about the Huamu tribe's Void Refining cultivator..."

"After all, you are the only one alive among the three of you."

Wei Tu's eyes flashed and he said lightly.

As soon as these words fell.

The female cultivator from the Sky Fox clan said to herself, "As expected," and suddenly felt that things were becoming increasingly tricky.

In terms of escape speed alone, Wei Tu is no less than her, but it may be difficult to prove anything.

But in terms of spiritual consciousness——

The fact that he was only in the early stage of Void Refinement could conceal the detection of the three people in the middle stage of Void Refinement. This was enough to prove that Wei Tu was no simple person and his strength could not be judged by a simple realm.

"I can tell you about this, but you need to promise not to hurt me..."

The female cultivator from the Sky Fox Clan wiped off the black dust on her face. Her pink fox eyes contained a hint of sadness, which made me feel pity for her.

As a member of the famous "concubine clan" in the spirit world, she knows all kinds of weapons that are lethal to male cultivators.

Perhaps this is not worth mentioning on the battlefield, but it never hurts to try.

But what made the female cultivators of the Sky Fox clan slightly disappointed was that

Faced with this "temptation", Wei Tu's face remained calm and composed, without the slightest sign of being moved.

Seeing this, she gritted her teeth, flipped her jade palm, and took out a golden page with a ghostly aura.

Wei Tu was not unfamiliar with this golden page, as it was the "Blood Curse Secret Book" that he and Xue Qiongyu signed more than 20 years ago.

And today, the female cultivator from the Sky Fox clan also has such a card in her hand!
But this is normal.

Although this treasure is not a life-saving treasure, it can really save the lives of some "second-generation immortals" at critical moments. Naturally, it has become a standard life-saving item that some immortals give to their descendants. (End of this chapter)
