I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

"I dare not. I dare not."

"If I knew that the fairy was a senior immortal, I would not have such a dirty thought..."

In the valley, after noticing the ubiquitous spiritual suppression all around him, the horse-faced old man smiled awkwardly, stopped his escape, and quickly turned around to apologize.

No matter how arrogant he was, he didn't think he could escape from the pursuit of a peak-level Void Refinement expert.

As for the words of the predecessors...

It's not really his respect.

He could socialize with his peers in the early and middle stages of the Void Refinement Realm, but he would never dare to consider himself as a peer in front of a cultivator at the peak of the Void Refinement Realm with whom he already had "grudges".

"Unless... my friend dies rather than me..."

"Let this female cultivator chase after the two of them first."

The horse-faced old man narrowed his eyes and secretly plotted against his allies, the old woman with snake staff and the charming young woman.

"Don't dare?" Da Yuanshuang, who was floating in the air, responded with a sneer. She flipped her jade hand forward and pressed it down slightly. A golden light flew out from her palm and turned into a giant palm shadow dozens of feet in size, which suddenly pressed down on the horse-faced old man below.

This giant palm of magical power has not yet fallen on the horse-faced old man.

However, its powerful force also caused the ground under the horse-faced old man's feet to break at this moment, and sank dozens of feet with a "crunching" sound.

A huge pit suddenly appeared.

The horse-faced old man in this huge pit looked like a person standing on an isolated island, his back desolate, weak and helpless.

"I can't run away! This girl may not have the intention to kill me yet. If I run away, she will kill me to vent her anger! In serious cases, there may be a risk of bringing disaster to the entire Deng family..."

The horse-faced old man under the golden giant palm turned pale and his body trembled slightly. He took a deep breath, suppressed the urge to run away, and slapped several talismans on his body, holding up a magic shield to welcome the arrival of the golden giant palm.

puff!puff!puff!
But soon, several series of explosions were heard.

All the defensive measures taken by the horse-faced old man were like dirt and clay dogs and were completely destroyed by the golden giant palm.

Fortunately, at this moment, the golden giant palm seemed to have exhausted its remaining strength, and only severely injured the horse-faced old man. After spitting out a mouthful of blood, it turned into a little light and disappeared in the air.

See this scene.

On the other side, the old woman with the snake staff and the charming young woman, who were ignored by Da Yuanshuang, looked at each other and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that Da Yuanshuang had no intention of killing them for the time being.

After having the courage in her heart, the old woman with the snake staff was very sensible and stepped forward to apologize and beg for mercy:

"I wonder what your plan is? This matter is... we three juniors are shortsighted and offended you and your Taoist partner. If there is a chance to make amends, we three juniors will not refuse..."

After she finished speaking, the old woman with the snake staff opened a storage bag at her waist, took out a sixth-tier spiritual medicine, and offered it as a treasure.

"Yes, if there is an opportunity to make amends, I, the Cheng family, will never refuse. From now on, we will be willing to serve the two seniors day and night."

Once the conversation started, the charming young woman was also flexible and not to be outdone.

However, what the two did not expect was that after hearing these words, Da Yuanshuang's eyes suddenly became a little colder.

This made the two of them start to feel frightened again.

"Daoist companion? Is that person who took advantage of the situation worthy of it?"

Da Yuanshuang felt disdainful.

It's not that she thinks highly of herself, she just simply looks down on Wei Tu.

She admitted that some of Wei Tu's magical skills were powerful, but they could not be regarded as the foundation of the Tao! They were only a means for cultivators to protect the Tao.

Speaking of talent... being selected by the human race to enter the Human Ancestor Hall is indeed commendable. But compared to her, this achievement is undoubtedly far behind.

——She is the true prodigy among the four-armed apes!

After knowing the secret of the Holy Spirit Stone, she thought to herself that as long as she mastered the "rules and laws", it would not be difficult for her to be on par with "Zou Yueshan" of the Ghost Phoenix clan.

However, Da Yuanshuang would not tell this little thought in front of the three horse-faced old men - she did not forget that she was in the same boat with Wei Tu and had become Wei Tu's bodyguard slave in a humiliating way.

"Make up for the opportunity..."

"That's not difficult."

Da Yuan Shuang suppressed the mixed thoughts in his mind and returned to the main topic. After glancing at the cultivators present with cold eyes, he said calmly: "All you three need to do is open your sea of ​​consciousness and let me seal your soul."

"Soul Seal?"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the three horse-faced old men suddenly changed.

Once their souls were imprinted by the monks, the three of them would become "soul servants" from then on, and their life and death would no longer be in their own hands.

They could accept an apology and be "severely injured" for their rude words, but it was absolutely difficult for them to accept becoming the soul servant of Dayuan Shuang...

"I am willing, but..."

The horse-faced old man's eyes flickered, and he spoke first, expressing his submission. But as soon as the word "just" came out of his mouth, his face showed hesitation again, as if he was hesitating about how to bargain and get a good price for selling his body.

But as the horse-faced old man said this.

The next moment, the "pressure" of Da Yuanshuang's words immediately fell on the old woman with snake staff and the charming young woman.

The two men secretly cursed the old man with the horse face for being disloyal and a thief.

But at this moment, the charming young woman had to speak up. She looked grim, staring at Da Yuanshuang standing in the air, and said word by word: "They two can, but I can't. I am the secret room of Ancestor Lu... If the senior wants to take me as a servant, he must ask Ancestor Lu first."

"Ancestor Lu is a powerful fusion master!"

Perhaps it was because she was self-reliant, but at this moment, when she talked about the origin of Old Ancestor Lu, the charming young woman's temperament became less charming and more indifferent.

The combined power is already considered to be the top powerful person in the small spiritual world.

In the entire Tuling country, the number of cultivators who have advanced to the Fusion Realm does not exceed the number on one hand.

So, as soon as these words came out.

In the valley, the monks of the Cheng family who heard that their ancestor was the secret room of "Ancestor Lu" not only did not feel ashamed, but felt honored instead.

There is no other reason. Not everyone can have a relationship with a powerful person. This kind of "skin-to-skin intimacy" is much stronger than the friendship between many friends.

"A powerful being in fusion?" Upon hearing this, Da Yuanshuang's brows became more solemn.

If she were in the spirit world, with her background, she would not be afraid of a mere dark room of a powerful being.

But unfortunately, this is in the "small spiritual world".

Her background was difficult to validate.

If we act recklessly, what happened in Dingyuan Immortal City will probably happen again here.

By then, she wouldn't even be able to ask for a prisoner.

“However, although I have no clansmen to help me, I am not alone now…” Da Yuanshuang sneered secretly, and the spiritual pressure on his body rose again, strongly pressing towards the cultivators present.

"Submit or die!"

Da Yuan Shuang approached the cultivators and spoke in a cold voice.

As soon as these words fell.

The charming young woman's face suddenly changed color.

"You... aren't you afraid of Elder Lu? If you force me to be his slave, Elder Lu will not let you go. Besides, besides... do you really think that you can stop the three of us from escaping by yourself?" said the charming young woman with a trembling voice.

"Chance!"

At this moment, the horse-faced old man and the old woman with snake staff maintained a high degree of tacit understanding. When the charming young woman questioned them, they immediately condensed their escape light and fled in two groups.

At this dangerous time.

Bringing up "Old Ancestor Lu" is not entirely a good thing for the charming young woman. It is both a deterrent to Da Yuanshuang and... a "death warrant" for herself.

As long as Da Yuanshuang is not afraid of "Old Ancestor Lu" and continues to do evil things, then the charming young woman will inevitably be the first person to suffer among the three of them.

This is what the two of them had planned.

It is for this reason that the horse-faced old man pretended to surrender and threw this fatal question to the charming young woman, letting her take the initiative to trigger the trap.

But the next moment.

The expressions of the horse-faced old man and the old woman with a snake-staff who were fleeing began to look slightly ugly.

They saw that, at some point, a solid light shield of formation that was hundreds of miles wide suddenly rose up on the outskirts of the valley. It was like a sky curtain, firmly blocking their retreat.

also--

On their way.

At this time, there was one more person and one more beast.

His realm and spiritual pressure are no less than theirs.

They were both very familiar with this man's face. It was Wei Tu, whom they mistook for Da Yuan Shuang's Taoist companion.

"That female cultivator at the peak of the Void Refining Stage is deliberately stalling for time so that her Taoist partner can set up a formation to capture us all in one fell swoop?"

The horse-faced old man's mind was as fast as lightning, and he instantly understood all the arrangements of Wei Tu and Da Yuan Shuang.

However, just as the horse-faced old man looked grim and was about to beg for mercy, he suddenly subconsciously thought of something, and a hint of ecstasy appeared on his face.

"He is in the early stage of Void Refining? Not the peak of Void Refining!"

The horse-faced old man felt confident. He didn't have the ability to deal with those at the peak of the Void Refinement Realm, but among those at the same level, as a veteran magic cultivator, he thought he had no rivals.

Otherwise, the charming young woman and the old woman with a snake staff would not have taken him, a cultivator of the same level, as their leader.

“Even if we capture this male cultivator, we may be able to threaten his Taoist partner…” The horse-faced old man’s eyes flashed slightly, and he immediately opened his mouth and spewed out a raging purple flame, attacking Wei Tu without dodging or retreating.

“Being underestimated?”

In the blink of an eye, Wei Tu also guessed the plan of the horse-faced old man.

His expression remained unchanged as he simply raised his arm and swung it forward.

With the blessing of the "Giant Golden Body", he easily threw out a hundred-foot-tall mountain emitting tremendous demonic power. It shattered the purple flame with a "bang" and continued to bombard the horse-faced old man with the remaining force.

This mountain is the fifth-grade top-grade magic weapon [Wan Qingshan] that Wei Tu refined before he ascended to heaven.

Although he had a lot of sixth-level spiritual treasures on him at this moment, he was not willing to use them easily in public to avoid unexpected danger.

——Just as most high-level cultivators have their origins, top-notch spiritual treasures cannot appear out of thin air.

However, this is the case.

It was still very difficult for the horse-faced old man to resist Wei Tu [Wan Qingshan], because this kind of pure force attack did not rely much on the grade of the spiritual treasure, as long as the material used to refine the spiritual treasure was strong enough.

With a loud "boom".

The horse-faced old man who was protected by the defensive magic treasure was instantly swatted away by Wan Qingshan like a fly, and the seemingly thick magic shield was shattered layer by layer in an instant.

"Puwa~" The horse-faced old man flew out like a kite with a broken string. The moment he landed, he felt a sweetness in his throat and spurted out several mouthfuls of blood. His face was extremely pale.

This attack is much more powerful than the attack that Dayuanshuang used to punish him just now!

"As expected of a Taoist couple."

"This male cultivator is indeed extraordinary."

"No wonder he was favored by a female cultivator of such a high level and was so humble in front of her..."

The horse-faced old man gasped heavily and said to himself.

"I surrender and am willing to be your soul servant."

After the winner was decided, the old man with the horse face stopped insisting and immediately expressed his submission to Wei Tu with a respectful look on his face.

Demon cultivators are brave and capable, but they are also very flexible.

At this moment, although he still had the strength to fight back, there was no need to "offend" Wei Tu and Da Yuan Shuang too much for this. After all, these two people did not want to kill him or take his life.

The most crucial thing is that at this moment, with Wei Tu blocking him, his chance to escape has been lost, and it would be foolish to continue to resist.

"Can!"

Wei Tu descended from the clouds, nodded indifferently, raised his hand, made a gesture, and left a soul seal in the sea of ​​consciousness of the horse-faced old man.

at the same time.

On the other side.

The battle between the Blood-Winged Mongoose and the old woman with a snake staff has also entered a white-hot stage.

The old woman with the snake staff is at a higher level than the blood-winged monster.

However, due to the difference in their bones and bloodlines, the old woman with the snake staff is far inferior to the blood-winged monster in combat performance.

Basically, I was always suppressed.

Afterwards, seeing the horse-faced old man surrender, the old woman with the snake staff could no longer hold on, so she took the initiative to withdraw her defensive magic treasures and surrendered to Wei Tu.

The remaining charming young woman can hardly support herself.

After seeing his two companions surrender, he never mentioned the matter of "Ancestor Lu" again. He opened his sea of ​​consciousness and obediently became the soul servant of Wei Tu and Da Yuanshuang.

And take advantage of this time.

Da Yuanshuang also searched the soul of the charming young woman.

After learning that although this woman was Old Ancestor Lu's secret chambermaid, she had not been favored by him for many years and had long been unilaterally abandoned by Old Ancestor Lu... he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, she and Wei Tu now cannot afford to offend a powerful being in his combined form.

If you can avoid it, avoid it.

……

After subduing a group of cultivators from the three major immortal cultivation families in Guangling County, headed by the Deng family of Qushan.

Wei Tu did not waste any time and directly asked the horse-faced old man and the other two about the specific conditions for taking the Tuling Kingdom's cross-border teleportation array to the Holy Spirit Kingdom.

"The two seniors want to go to the Holy Spirit Kingdom..."

Hearing this, the old man with the horse face was surprised, but also a little happy in his heart. As long as the two ancestors above his head left, he would be a soul servant, or not, and his life would be no different from before.

"I want to take a cross-border teleportation array to the Holy Spirit Country. This is neither difficult nor easy..."

"As long as we get the approval of a "king", and pay some spirit crystals, we can use the cross-border teleportation array in Lingyan City."

The horse-faced old man paused and replied.

"Prince?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Tu and Da Yuan Shuang both frowned at the same time.

The kings and princes of the six countries in Zezhong are different from the kings and princes in the mortal world who are divided according to their closeness to the royal bloodline.

It is a respectful title given to those with great power in China!

Half a step to fusion, to become a marquis!
Combine your powers and become the king!
For example, the "Ancestor Lu" mentioned by the charming young woman has another honorific title in the country of Tuling - King Lu!
However, because most of the people in the small spiritual world are descendants of ascended monks, this place tends to follow the old customs of the lower world and is accustomed to calling them ancestors. The so-called "King Lu" is only used in official terms.

"With the means of your three families, can you get the approval of a noble king to allow the two of us to borrow the transnational teleportation array?"

Da Yuanshuang spoke bluntly and asked directly.

Hearing this, the old woman with the snake staff couldn't help but smile bitterly, "With the connections of our three families, it is not difficult to make friends with a king. We can spend some money, get his approval, and borrow the cross-border teleportation array... However, this can only be borrowed by us, and it is difficult to use it on you two nobles."

The rules are similar to those in other places in the world of immortal cultivation.

The "limited use" of resources has always existed.

Since the six countries in Zezhong are frequently at war, they will naturally not allow domestic cultivators to easily use cross-border teleportation arrays.

Wei Tu had already guessed this before he met the three horse-faced old men.

"Two ways."

"First, let these three families use their connections and ask a noble to guarantee us so that we can use the international teleportation array and leave the Earth Spirit Nation..."

"Second, I will discard my external cultivator identity and act as a native cultivator, allowing you to be promoted to a king or a prince!"

Wei Tu summarized the information and looked at Da Yuanshuang in front of him with burning eyes.

At this moment, he had to be thankful for his wise decision in the teleportation channel - to tie Da Yuanshuang, a peak-level cultivator, to him.

Otherwise, face this crisis.

He had a hard time coming up with a solution.

"Brother Wei, are you really willing to let... me use the Holy Spirit Stone I obtained first? Advance to the half-step fusion?" Da Yuanshuang was slightly stunned, a little bit unbelieving.

Of course she knew that under the current circumstances, this method was indeed the safest and most secure.

But... the greed for top resources like the Holy Spirit Stone is engraved in the bones of every monk.

What’s more, Wei Tu is a human cultivator of humble origin!
Shouldn't we be more careful with these resources?

"Wei has no need to deceive fellow Daoist Dayuan on this point."

Wei Tu looked calm and replied frankly.

He still knows which is more important, fate or path.

The sooner he leaves the "Ancient Demon Realm", the safer it will be for him.

Secondly, on the "Holy Spirit Stone" -

He let Dayuan Shuang use it first, but it didn't mean that it would be difficult to obtain it in the future. On the contrary, Dayuan Shuang, whose realm and strength had improved, could help him earn more Holy Spirit Stones under the constraints of the "Master-Servant Contract".

From this point of view, he is not at a loss.

"Okay! Since Fellow Daoist Wei is so honest, I will not lie to you. After the three hundred years of the master-servant spiritual contract ends, I will not settle any old scores with you..."

Da Yuanshuang raised his hand and swore, saying these words seriously.

This matter is considered the "dead knot" in the relationship between her and Wei Tu.

Let go of this grudge.

It means that she really wants to make friends with Wei Tu.

"Then... Wei would like to thank Daoist Fellow Dayuan."

Wei Tu nodded with a smile, not really caring about it.

In the world of cultivation, he has seen countless betrayals by close friends and fellow Taoists from past lives. As for these vows that were not bound by contracts or spiritual objects, they would just turn a deaf ear to them and would not easily believe them.

He only believes in realm and strength.

And...the relatives and friends who still stand by him after going through so many tests.

And Dayuan Shuang is obviously not among them. (End of this chapter)
