Starting with warding off evil and disaster, one can ascend to immortality after countless tribulati

Compared to He Qing's radical statement, Xie Lingfei was more cautious, his eyes full of hesitation. "That shouldn't be the case. My fellow disciples described the scene that day to me."

Xiao Miao was indeed severely injured in an instant, and then flew into a rage. That person might really exist, and we should be wary of them.

Jiang Ming glanced at Xie Lingfei furtively and silently made up his mind.

After dealing with Xiao Miao, kill this guy as soon as possible!

I said no, and that's final. You, Erdoron, what nonsense are you spouting!

Watching Jiang Ming perform silently, Tuoba Youyou turned around, feeling somewhat helpless, but also understanding Jiang Ming's good intentions.

If the presence of the two people instills fear in others.

When they show up, they will definitely be targeted.

Jiang Ming's explanation was indeed very advantageous to them, after all, the Five Spirits Sect was a tough nut to crack.

To be on the safe side, it's best to join forces and take them down together.

"No, it's entirely possible that Xiao Miao orchestrated this whole thing for the sake of those six treasures—no, it's 100% true!"

Otherwise, why would a Great Forest cultivator and a City Wall Earth cultivator need to be so secretive? Why not just attack directly?

Listening to Jiang Ming's seductive remarks.

Xie Lingfei remained unmoved and cautiously said, "I don't think so. Fellow Daoist is a disciple of the Myriad Laws Sect."

Do you know who in your sect practices the Great Forest Wood or City Wall Earth techniques?

I asked around, and everyone said they didn't know where that cultivator came from. Is it possible that they are cultivators from the Myriad Laws Sect?

This kid isn't stupid!

You're really clever. I'll kill you first when I have time.

A chill ran through Jiang Ming, who feigned friendliness as he revealed the image of fire in the furnace and then displayed the Refining Heaven Elixir magic weapon.

He Qing immediately lowered her guard.

Everyone knows that the Refining Heaven Gourd is the magic weapon of the Heavenly Furnace True Man, and that Jiang Ming is able to possess it.

The cultivation method is undoubtedly the Fire in the Furnace.

The reason why it is not well-known may be because the Wanfa Sect wants to play dumb to take advantage of the situation.

Fortunately, he had a good fight with him this time; otherwise, if Lian Tiandou had suddenly attacked without his knowledge, he would have been badly injured even if he hadn't died.

However, he is still a bit inferior to Xiao Miao.

Right now, he's the most troublesome and the most difficult to deal with.

After a long silence, He Qing took the initiative to smooth things over, "Brother Lingfei, in my opinion, one should always be wary of others."

Xiao Miao is not someone to be trusted. Rather than trusting him, it would be better to secretly cooperate with Brother Jiang and try to get rid of Xiao Miao.

"At that time, since the three of us are of similar strength, we can simply divide the valuable resources equally, which will save us a lot of trouble."

Hearing He Qing's understanding words...

Jiang Ming silently gave him a thumbs up in his heart.

This person must not be killed. If there is a chance, you can ask him about the whereabouts of the Yin Transformation Mystic Light technique.

This technique seems to lack lethality.

However, it has considerable benefits for Jiang Ming.

Within the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls, there are many living souls. As long as he imparts the "Yin-Yang Ritual and Music Harmony Ode" to these living souls, he can then use the Transformation of Yin Mystic Light to change the enemy's gender.

This allows one to exploit the principle of yin and yang complementarity to extract intelligence from the other party.

Seeing He Qing standing on Jiang Ming's side, Xie Lingfei felt somewhat helpless and hesitated to give a definite answer.

Jiang Ming frowned at the sight of her wavering and indecisiveness. He didn't press her on the surface, but his murderous intent was already evident in his heart.

Stop dawdling! You're being unreasonable. I'll get you in a minute!

"Since you have concerns, then go back and think about it some more."

Let us know once we have a definite answer.

Nodding, Xie Lingfei bowed and took his leave.

Seeing this, He Qing looked suspicious and hesitated for a long time before tentatively speaking, "Brother Jiang, there's something I'm not sure if I should say."

I think Xie Lingfei is problematic. He may have been bribed by Xiao Miao, and he is only speaking up for Xiao Miao while remaining silent about Xiao Miao's character.

Given Xiao Miao's temperament, once he gets rid of the thorn in his side, he'll target us next, and then monopolize the Refining Secret Realm.

"Or, shall we take care of Xie Lingfei first?"

How come you're even more proactive and radical than me?!

Shaking his head, Jiang Ming didn't rush to agree. He pretended to be conflicted and put on a friendly persona. "Fellow Daoist, please don't joke around."

Xiao Miao is not someone to be trifled with. It would be safer if the three of us attacked together.

"Brother Jiang, what if I had a trump card that could replace Xie Lingfei?"

I know him fairly well. He's a rigid person; once he's made up his mind, he won't easily change it.

Moreover, his methods of cultivating the Flatland Wood technique are limited; his only skill is in talismanic arts. I have a one-time use talismanic treasure.

It can unleash a strike comparable to an eighth-level cultivator. Xie Lingfei can actually do without it.

To prevent him from interfering with our plans, we should eliminate him as soon as possible. Once we've dealt with him, we'll take care of Xiao Miao and then divide the resources in the Refining Realm equally!

A fierce glint flashed in He Qing's eyes as he put on a serious expression.

Jiang Ming was stunned. After thinking for a moment, he still did not agree. Something was definitely amiss.

They've known each other for much longer than I have; He Qing shouldn't be so impulsive.

"No, I can't betray you right after we've just become friends."

"Are you really not going to make a move? This is a golden opportunity, one that won't come again." He Qing said enticingly, looking at him with a disappointed expression.

He continued to shake his head in denial, and the other person's initially fierce gaze gradually softened.

He cupped his hands in greeting and said loudly, "Thank you, fellow Daoist. Now you believe me, right? Brother Jiang is indeed a trustworthy person."

Let's get all our fellow disciples over here and discuss how to take down Xiao Miao. I've been wanting to get rid of him for a long time.

They went on a killing spree while we weren't around; this is clearly a slap in the face to us!

They didn't react to He Qing's sudden change of expression.

Looking at Xie Lingfei returning with his disciples, Jiang Ming breathed a slight sigh of relief, thankful that he hadn't agreed to the suggestion earlier.

He Qing appears reckless and impulsive, but this is clearly just a facade, as he is the leader of a faction.

He clearly had his own plans and thoughts.

The reason for deliberately sending Xie Lingfei away was simply to test Jiang Ming's character.

Fortunately, Jiang Ming was very restrained in order to accumulate enough reputation points.

He didn't say a single word that would be detrimental to the cooperation after Xie Lingfei left.

He's cunning enough. He looks big and tough, brave but reckless, but he's actually quite shrewd.

If Jiang Ming had harbored any designs on Xie Lingfei, this place would probably have already turned into a chaotic battlefield.

There were more than a dozen disciples present.

Even with his considerable strength, Jiang Ming would find it extremely difficult to withstand an attack from so many people.

"Xiao Miao has invited us several times to discuss the plan. Tomorrow, we'll use that as an excuse to go see him, and then seize the opportunity to make our move!"

Contrary to his previous behavior, Xie Lingfei raised an eyebrow and offered a suggestion, revealing his deep resentment towards Xiao Miao.

There was no other reason than that his younger brother had infiltrated the Qingfu Sect's ranks, hoping to gain more resources, but he inadvertently stumbled upon a cultivation technique.

He was killed by Xiao Miao, missing out on a golden opportunity.

If I had known, there wouldn't be any blessed lands like the Refining Realm outside, where you can find resources everywhere.

Any one of these treasures would cause trouble if it were placed in the outside world.

Moreover, with Xiao Miao blocking their way, they definitely won't get much benefit. On the contrary, cooperating with Jiang Ming would obviously lead to a brighter future.

As for that so-called Great Forest Cultivator

To hell with it. Based solely on Xiao Miao's one-sided account, Xie Lingfei didn't really believe that such a person could exist.

Even if they did, the other party probably wouldn't be as excessive as Xiao Miao.

They slaughtered the disciples like chickens, showing no regard for the Qingfu Sect or the Daowen Sect.

Cutting off someone's livelihood is like killing their parents. No matter how you look at it, Xiao Miao, this obstacle, must die.

"In that case, there's no time to lose. I'll contact Xiao Miao now, agree to his proposal, and we'll go meet up with him."

If the time is right, we will kill him immediately.

"By the way, Brother Jiang, I remember your Wanfa Sect has other late-stage experts, right? Could you hand them over to us so we can work together on something important?" He cast a somewhat apprehensive glance his way.

Suddenly, I realized that the Wanfa Sect has become quite powerful.

He Qing couldn't help but worry. After driving away Xiao Miao, this fierce tiger, they had welcomed the pack of wolves from the Myriad Laws Sect. Wouldn't their victory be stolen in the end?

This outcome is absolutely not in the best interests of the Dao Seeking Sect.

"To be honest, I'm not very familiar with the disciples of the Wanfa Sect, and I probably wouldn't be able to talk to them. However, the senior sister next to me is also a late-stage cultivator."

"The two of us combined should be worth half of the Myriad Laws Sect's territory in the secret realm."

Xie Lingfei frowned, and a little scheme began to run through his mind.

He had obtained some information: a late-stage disciple of the Myriad Laws Sect had recently been eliminated due to a dispute with Xiao Miao.

It seems Jiang Ming is unaware of this matter.

That's fine. Now that the power of the Myriad Laws Sect is out in the open, the time will be right to deal with Xiao Miao.

He and He Qing could launch an attack at this moment. What could a mere Furnace Fire Fruit position do even if he had a magic weapon?

The interactions of mutual generation and mutual restraint among the five elements are extremely difficult to reverse.

He Qing's flowing water could easily suppress Jiang Ming.

At that time, with his position as the Earth God by the roadside, and by restraining the dull-witted Tuoba Youyou, plus the assistance of his fellow disciples, victory will be within his grasp.

Having made their decision, the group immediately set off.

Although they each had their own ulterior motives, they acted very amicably at the moment, appearing as if they were brothers.

The message was transmitted through a special magical artifact.

The group arrived at a valley and met up with Xiao Miao.

After a whole month apart, his aura had become even more sharp.

It's clear that he's already halfway to the seventh level of perfection.

Clearly, during this period, in addition to recovering from his injury, he also gained a lot of opportunities.

"You've all come here to discuss cooperation, haven't you? In that case, let's sit down and talk. I've already set up a magic array here, although it's still a little short of completion."

But with the aid of the magic array and the guidance of the Heavenly Mechanism Instrument, there's no need to worry about that Great Forest Wood cultivator not taking the bait.

To verify his claim.

The young man demonstrated the effects of the magic array with great flair.

Suddenly, the once ordinary valley was shrouded in mist, exuding a mysterious aura, and most importantly, there was a strong spiritual energy fluctuation here.

This is absolutely a sign that a secret treasure is about to appear!

If Jiang Ming hadn't seen this place with his own eyes, he would most likely have fallen into the trap. But there are no "ifs." With the blessing of the calamity warning...

Any trap is useless against him.

Fortunately, the attack formation didn't take shape, otherwise things would have been quite difficult today.

As if certain that the others would not refuse to cooperate, Xiao Miao turned his gaze to Jiang Ming and Tuoba Youyou, and spoke with some surprise.

"Who are these two? I've never seen them before. Does the Myriad Laws Sect actually have two late-stage disciples?"

He's truly a hidden master. Although our two sects have always been at odds, the important matter at hand is the present. I have a feeling that this Great Forest Wood cultivator is no ordinary person.

If it's not nipped in the bud soon, the Five Sects Tournament is likely to cause a lot of trouble. It's just unknown which sect that cultivator belongs to.

The Nangong siblings of the Shuiyue Sect are out of the picture. Their disciples are leaderless. Now, there is a late-stage disciple who has barely appeared, but he has no interest in participating in the conflict. He spends his days with his fellow disciples picking up scraps of resources in the vicinity...

He Qing, Xie Lingfei, are you sure the Great Forest Wood cultivator isn't from your sect?

After exchanging pleasantries with Jiang Ming, it was immediately clear that he was a cultivator of the Furnace Fire element, while Tuoba Youyou was a cultivator of the Earth element.

Because the imagery of the city wall soil had changed, Tuoba Youyou's aura was very similar to that of the Great Post Station Soil. This type of person was known for being bad at fighting, so Xiao Miao didn't take the two of them seriously at all.

He quickly looked away and pressed He Qing and the other person for more information.

"I don't know, they're not from the Dao Seeking Sect."

"I don't know, the Qingfu Sect probably doesn't have that."

Seeing that he couldn't get any results from the questioning, Xiao Miao showed no surprise.

If it weren't for the overwhelming sense of oppression emanating from the image of the Great Forest Tree, he would never have discussed cooperation with this group of good-for-nothings.

"Alright, let's not talk about that now. You guys help me activate the Celestial Mechanism, I'll go and perfect the formation..."

He Qing nodded solemnly and readily agreed, secretly giving Jiang Ming and the other man a meaningful look.

Walking to the Heavenly Mechanism, He Qing waved his hand and put the treasure into his pocket. He roared and shouted sternly.

"Now that things have come to this, Xiao Miao, are you still pretending to be ignorant? Do you really think I'm stupid!"

"Once you go outside and set up the magic array, won't we be at your mercy?"

Seeing He Qing actively attracting attention, Jiang Ming smiled and silently retreated behind the crowd.

"What does this mean? What are you trying to do! Do you think I'm setting up a magic array to trick you?"

Look in the mirror and see if you're worthy.

Even a clay figure has some temper. After He Qing took away the Heavenly Secret Instrument and he was unjustly accused, Xiao Miao drew his long sword, his eyes sharp, as if he was about to make a move at any moment.

"Peace is precious, peace is precious." Patiently smoothing things over, the image of the Great Forest Tree instantly came to mind, and a sense of bewilderment welled up in my heart.

Xiao Miao's body trembled, and his hand holding the sword suddenly dropped downwards.

The next second, his body was suddenly pierced through by a large hand!

The heartfelt treatment brought Xiao Miao back to her senses instantly, her face contorting with rage. "Fine, fine, you all conspired to trick me!"

Without giving him a chance to retaliate, Jiang Ming summoned the Heaven-Refining Cauldron. The enormous cauldron, enhanced by the imagery of fire within, resembled a treasure capable of burning the heavens and boiling the seas.

It slammed hard onto Xiao Miao's head, and with one blow, Xiao Miao's life force instantly weakened, leaving him severely injured and on the verge of death.

Seeing Jiang Ming's ruthless methods, He Qing and Xie Lingfei exchanged glances, both feeling a sense of foreboding.

Oh no, we have an undercover agent among us!
