Invincible!

Chapter 142 Tribulation Cultivator
True Transmission Peak.

In a courtyard shrouded by an array.

Yan Cailian, dressed in a plain robe, handed a book to a man in front of her.

The man also took out a box.

The box was opened, and inside...

It was clearly a piece of Taiyin essence.

"Senior Brother Cheng, we're even now."

"Junior Sister Yan, you really don't intend to let Great Zhou attack Great Wei? There is a large gold mine in the area north of Great Wei that borders your Great Zhou. It can produce 50,000 taels of pure gold every year, which is half a unit of refined gold. This is worth 50,000 merit points. All you have to do is borrow troops."

"It's unnecessary to break with Wei Zhenchuan for the sake of 50,000 merits."

With Junior Sister Shui blocking the way, True Disciple Wei doesn't have the energy or the guts to offend Junior Sister Yan again.

"No need. I have more important things to do now and don't want to cause any unnecessary trouble."

Yan Cailian said calmly.

"Something more important?"

After a moment's thought, Senior Brother Cheng asked, "You mean Mr. Li?"

He then smiled and said, "Should I handle it? Perfect, he destroyed my Xuanzhao Society, so I have a legitimate reason to take action."

"What are Senior Brother Cheng's plans to do?"

"I once subdued a rogue cultivator who called himself the Refining Daoist. Not only was his magical power profound, but he was also working on condensing the five innate energies. After Li Xian has established his Dao foundation, if he doesn't want to sit around and do nothing, he will inevitably have to go to his fiefdom. When that time comes, I'll have him intercept and deal with him."

"This is what Cheng Wanli, the true disciple behind the Xuanzhao Society, said calmly."

"Gathering the five innate energies? Not enough!"

Yan Cailian looked at him: "Li Xian had already entered the Dao at the Innate Realm, and forged an unparalleled foundation! How can a second-realm cultivator who hasn't even reached the Five Qi Gathering stage ensure absolute success?"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Wanli said, "The Refining Daoist has already condensed the four elements of metal, wood, water, and earth. He only needs the Heart Fire element to achieve the unity of the five elements. He is considered top-tier among cultivators in the second realm. Even if Li Xian is exceptionally talented and can rival the Magic Power Realm as soon as he enters the Dao, he shouldn't be so strong that even the Refining Daoist can't do anything to him, right?"

"Either don't make a move, or if you do, it's a matter of life and death."

Yan Cailian practiced Taoism.

At this moment, Yan Zhenxing walked in from outside.

After exchanging greetings with Cheng Wanli, he said, "Senior Sister, Li Xian suddenly left the sect, seemingly heading to his fiefdom."

"Okay, leave the rest to me."

Yan Cailian said calmly.

Upon seeing this, Cheng Wanli couldn't help but be somewhat surprised: "Junior Sister Yan, you wouldn't... intend to take action yourself!? That Li Xian, who defied the Dao to enter the Dao, must be on the 'Hidden Dragon in the Abyss' list. If he dies, the sect will definitely investigate thoroughly..."

"You yourself said that he is a hidden dragon in the abyss. If we let him soar to the sky, do you think the inner sect's affairs will be resolved peacefully, given his style of doing things?"

Yan Cailian practiced Taoism.

Cheng Wanli frowned slightly.

Li Xian, of course, must be dealt with.

However, the sect will not let the death of such a hidden dragon go unpunished.

He was already taking a risk by letting the Taoist alchemist make a move...

"I don't want to be challenged by Li Xian one day and beaten to death in front of everyone. The sooner we act, the better."

"To beat someone to death in front of everyone?"

Cheng Wanli sneered: "Wait another hundred years, and I'll believe he has the ability! That is, if he lives for a hundred years!"

"A hundred years? Perhaps Ning Qingshu and the others said the same thing back then, at most changing a hundred years to ten years, but how long did it take him to destroy the Xuanzhao Society?"

After Yan Cailian finished speaking, she stood up.

Cheng Wanli's face darkened.

"Senior sister, Li Xian is not traveling alone."

Yan Zhenxing said with some difficulty, "Nangong Feixu will go with him to protect the surrounding area."

"Nangong Feixu?"

Yan Cailian frowned.

"A newly appointed disciple dares to meddle in other people's business?"

At this point, Cheng Wanli also adjusted his mindset.

Li Xian not only has amazing potential, but his growth rate is also astonishing, so he really needs to be eliminated as soon as possible.

"A newly appointed disciple? That's still a true disciple."

Yan Cailian said in a deep voice, "Nangong Feixu has a top-tier Dao Foundation and has mastered the sect's most powerful technique, Taiyin Xuan Guang, which freezes people's souls. Those who have not yet condensed the Three Flowers on their heads cannot withstand her Xuan Guang. Otherwise, how could she stand out among the core disciples and become a true disciple?"

"Taiyin Xuan Guang..."

Cheng Wanli naturally understood the power of this spell.

Thus……

To deal with her, one would probably need to be a high-level cultivator at the fourth realm with the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top.

For a moment, he couldn't help but glance at Yan Cailian.

Yan Cailian also turned her gaze to him: "Senior Brother Cheng, would you dare to come with me? You don't need to deal with Li Xian, just hold off Nangong Feixu for me."

"Are you really going to personally kill Li Xian?!"

"When a decision is needed, make it decisively; otherwise, chaos will ensue."

Yan Cailian spoke with absolute certainty.

Cheng Wanli hesitated for a moment.

After a long pause, he said, "Junior Sister Yan, can Nangong Feixu protect Li Xian for a while, or for a lifetime? Why not wait until they separate before making a move?" After saying that, he added, "With my connections, I can always find someone to deal with him."

"It is better to rely on yourself than to rely on others. How can you entrust such a matter of life and death and future to others?"

Yan Cailian walked heavily through the path.

"That's true, but everything leaves a trace. Sects have unpredictable methods, so who dares to say they're foolproof?"

"If you want to accomplish something, how can you not take risks?"

Yan Cailian said directly, "If Senior Brother is unwilling to take action, then lend me the Refining Daoist."

"Of course you can."

Cheng Wanli readily agreed this time.

Just then, Yan Zhenxing, who was standing nearby, seemed to have received some news.

He glanced at it, and his eyes immediately lit up with undisguised joy: "Senior Sister, we found it! I bribed an elder in the Guardian Hall and finally found out where Li Xian's fiefdom is! It's in the Falling Star Sea!"

"The Sea of ​​Fallen Stars?"

Yan Cailian was taken aback.

"The Fallen Star Sea? It's a chaotic place, teeming with all sorts of people. Demons, cultivators, and other powerful factions are all vying for a tiny piece of land and meager profits. They'll fight to the death for the smallest gains. Li Xian is a rising star; the fiefdom his sect has prepared for him must be quite impressive. Why would he choose the Fallen Star Sea?!"

"It's only natural that he chose Falling Star Sea!"

Yan Cailian was taken aback for a moment, but immediately affirmed: "Back then, when we were full of vigor, didn't we also think about conquering that sea?"

She sneered: "A prodigy like him, who has already been certified by the sect, will surely carry on his spirit of courage, diligence, and perseverance to the very end. Falling into the Star Sea is risky, but the rewards are also great... Good, good choice!"

"It's really good!"

A smile also appeared in Cheng Wanli's eyes: "They are traveling on the Sky Ship today... they must be heading straight for the Danxia Sect? That's wonderful!"

"Danxia School?"

Yan Cailian also thought of something: "Senior Brother Cheng seems to be on very good terms with the eldest disciple of the Danxia Sect?"

"Haha, that's a life-or-death friendship!"

Cheng Wanli laughed loudly: "As the saying goes, 'Heaven has a road, but you don't take it; Hell has no gate, but you barge in!' Li Xian insisted on running into my hands; it's fate that we must destroy him! Junior Sister Yan and I will go together. Li Xian, he won't be able to leave Falling Star Sea alive!"

……

On the Sky Boat.

Li Xian settled into a detached room that was over 100 square meters. Several hours later, he received a message from Nangong Feixu.

As he went out, he saw her coming with a middle-aged man and a woman in her thirties.

“Junior Brother Li, come here, let me introduce you to two people who also have a connection with you.”

She smiled and said, "Elder Xiao Baichuan, Elder An Ruyi."

After she finished speaking, she added, "Elder An is Elder Xiao's disciple, and Elder Xiao is the founder of the Holy Martial Pavilion. The former Guangyuan Sword Saint can be considered half a disciple of him."

Shengwu Tower?
Li was somewhat surprised.

Before Li could speak, the two elders, whose cultivation levels were clearly higher than his, took the initiative to cup their hands and say, "Greetings, Li Qianlong."

"I have long heard of Li Qianlong's great name. He entered the Dao against the odds at the Innate Realm. It is a rare feat in the entire sect. Today, I finally get to meet the real Li Qianlong."

The two greeted each other with smiles.

Li Xian also nodded to the two of them.

"The two elders came to hunt down the calamity cultivators. Recently, the demon race on the front line has launched a counterattack, putting great pressure on the Danxia, ​​Yunxi, and Wanxiang sects. This has caused many demons to bypass the front line, resulting in a lot of chaos. Many rogue cultivators have taken this opportunity to stir up trouble and engage in calamity cultivator activities."

Nangong Feixu said.

In this world, the nine great immortal sects dominate the land and occupy all the fertile lands.

However, besides the nine major immortal sects, there are also some sects that manage to survive in the cracks.

These sects were either branches that split off from the Nine Great Immortal Sects, or they were established in remote and desolate places.

The Danxia Sword Sect, Yunxi Sect, and Wanxiang Sect are examples of this.

Strictly speaking, these three families belong to the buffer zone between the Great Luo Immortal Sect and the demon race.

Each family has a supreme elder who has cultivated the Golden Elixir and lived for a thousand years, presiding over them.

“In the region where our Great Luo Immortal Sect extends into the Falling Star Sea, there is a group of cultivators who have achieved great power and are known as the Nine Righteous Men of the Nether Sea. Of course, we call them the Nine Demons of the Nether Sea.”

Xiao Baichuan said, "A month ago, they intercepted a batch of Netherworld Marrow that the Danxia Sword Sect was offering as tribute to us. It is said to be worth tens of millions. The sect specially sent me with the Truth-Seeking Disc to arrest the Nine Demons of the Nether Sea and to investigate whether there is anyone supporting these rapidly increasing numbers of Tribulation Cultivators."

"Netherworld Marrow?"

Li Xian's heart stirred.

At this moment, Nangong Feixu, who was standing to the side, transmitted his voice and said, "I remember that Junior Brother is practicing the Floating Dawn True Body, which requires materials such as Nine Nether Iron and Netherworld Marrow for cultivation. This time, the priority is to investigate the Nine Demons of the Nether Sea and kill these evil demons who challenge the majesty of our Great Luo Immortal Sect. Recovering the materials... is not a problem. After all, we did not receive the tribute. We can just have the Danxia Sword Sect send another batch."

Li Xian immediately understood what Nangong Feixu meant.

Can those Netherworld Essences simply float away?

Xiao Baichuan also smiled and said, "Although the Nine Demons of Youhai are rogue cultivators, they are still numerous and powerful. The two of us alone may not be able to capture them all. Originally, we planned to invite some people from the Danxia Sword Sect. Now we happen to have met Li Qianlong and Nangong Zhenchuan. I wonder if we could ask the two of you to lend us a hand?"

He added, "How about we split all the spoils of war: Nangong Zhenchuan and I will each take 30%, and Li Qianlong and my beloved disciple will each take 20%?"

Li Xian already understood that this was a benefit that Nangong Feixu had specifically secured for him; otherwise, the two of them would definitely not have been able to claim more than 20%.

Of course, the key was that Xiao Baichuan and others were willing to give him face.

"What does Junior Brother Li think?"

"It's a good opportunity to meet these rogue cultivators who have entered the Dao."

Mr. Li readily agreed.

“Alright, after we enter the Fallen Star Sea, the four of us will meet the Nine Demons of the Nether Sea together.”
