The cloud of death was so quiet that there was no other movement except for the writhing faces of the dead.

Shouldn't it be rolling violently and those ghost faces howling even more wildly?

"Is there some kind of defensive magic weapon?" She instinctively realized that something was wrong.

She is also an experienced monk and has all the necessary crisis warnings.

So she suddenly displayed hundreds of talismans, fire dragons, thunderstorms, ice storms, and colorful Taoist magic, bombarding the dark clouds in a saturation manner.

Anyone who sees her playing style will say that it is impossible to learn and it is too expensive.

Each talisman contained countless spirit stones, which meant a huge fortune if thrown away. It was an extreme waste of money.

The effect of such an expensive talisman bombing is also obvious. There is no intact soil within a radius of 100 miles. There are potholes everywhere, as if it had been gnawed by a dog.

Not to mention a mere Jindan cultivator, all the other people from Xianyun Sect would die if they came here.

After a while, the black clouds finally dissipated.

Liu Xiangjun once again took out a large number of talismans. She was a little crazy and wanted to kill them.

At this moment, a blue-purple electric light shot out from the black fog that had not yet completely dissipated.

It happened so fast that she didn't even see what it was before a bolt of lightning struck her.

Going back to a while ago, Zhao Kangping suddenly remembered the bracelet that Aunt Yun had given him not long ago. It was originally intended for him to use to guard against the three women of Miaoyin Sect.

As a result, when Jiang Yanfei self-destructed, he panicked and forgot to use it.

But facing the impending Yin Sha Fu, he remembered.

This bracelet could at best block a blow from a Void Refinement Stage cultivator, and Liu Xiangjun's talisman technique was only at the Spiritual Transformation Stage, far more than capable of blocking a single blow. She was able to withstand all the overwhelming talismans that were thrown at her like they were free.

Taking advantage of the moment when her attack slowed down and left an opening, Zhao Kangping launched a counterattack.

He used his own stored energy to unleash a wild thunder finger and hit Liu Xiangjun.

The woman tried to defend herself with a magic weapon, but unfortunately she didn't know that the Wild Thunder Finger could destroy the defensive magic weapon.

The magic weapon on her body just flashed with light, and then shattered into pieces the next moment.

Then her whole body flew backwards, spurting out a mouthful of blood, looking extremely miserable.

Most talisman practitioners don't focus on physical training, so their physiques are weak and their bodies are extremely fragile. Just one Wild Lightning Finger attack took away half of her life.

The offensive and defensive momentum switched easily, and thunder ran rampant in Liu Xiangjun's body, destroying a large number of internal organs and causing serious injuries.

"What's going on? How do you still have the spiritual power to use such a move?" Liu Xiangjun was surprised.

The man's move was extremely powerful. After experiencing it firsthand, she knew that it must have consumed a lot of energy.

Her doubt was not groundless. Logically speaking, Zhao Kangping had consumed a lot of energy before, and the remaining spiritual power was not enough to use the Wild Thunder Finger.

But he had a spare blue bar. Pah, it should be that the electrical energy stored in his body can also be used to perform thunder magic, which led to this counterattack.

Liu Xiangjun knew that she was no match for her opponent, so she immediately took out a flying shuttle-shaped magic weapon and quickly boarded it, trying to escape.

I won't go back to Xianyun Sect. I'll run as far away as possible. I'm afraid there will be no hope of revenge for a long time.

However, before she flew far, a huge fire lotus bloomed on the path that the shuttle had to pass.

The shuttle had no time to turn and crashed directly into the fire lotus.

boom! ~

The shuttle exploded in the fire lotus, and Liu Xiangjun, who was already seriously injured, was blown beyond recognition by the flames.

"Where to run!"

A graceful figure flew over from a distance. It was Qi Honglian, the current leader of Xianyun Sect.

The fire lotus just now was naturally her work.

She had tolerated Liu Xiangjun for a long time, and this time she would seize the opportunity to take revenge.

Chapter 421: False Memory, Attacking Miaoyin Sect

Aunt Yun's injury this time was more serious than Zhao Kangping had imagined.

Physical injuries are easier to recover from, but damage to the soul is more troublesome.

Fortunately, there are some rare treasures in the sect's treasury that can help repair damage to the soul.

But this also brought up another problem. The people of Xianyun Sect soon discovered that nearly 70% of the spirit stones in the treasury were missing.

The panic caused by this incident was no less than that caused by the attack from the Miaoyin Sect.

The original stock of spirit stones could more than sustain the entire sect for more than ten years, but now they are likely to be exhausted in just a few years.

This is without considering other unexpected expenses, but there is a very troublesome problem right now.

After Jiang Yanfei's self-destruction, the mountain path outside the Xianyun Sect was destroyed, and the outpost at the foot of the mountain that received outsiders also disappeared. The several deacons and disciples there did not retreat to the sect in time, so it goes without saying that they were all dead.

The area near the sect was once a lush, vibrant, and cloud-filled fairyland, but now there is no grass growing, only endless scorched earth.

Moreover, after being polluted by the so-called aura of the god of love on Jiang Yanfei's body, normal flowers, plants and trees can no longer grow in these places.

A chaotic and filthy energy still remains in the soil. In time, this place may become a paradise for some mutated beasts.

Even more terrifying is that the spiritual energy here is nearly depleted, making it completely unsuitable for cultivation. The reason is simple: every plant and tree growing here is a vital part of the spiritual energy circulation ecosystem of this world.

The spiritual energy between heaven and earth is prevalent in the air, and the underground spiritual mineral veins penetrate into the soil.

The trees in those fairy mountains and precious lands can extract spiritual energy from the soil and release the spiritual energy into the air through photosynthesis.

Jiang Yanfei's self-detonation consumed all the spiritual energy within a hundred-plus kilometers of the Xianyun Sect. The vegetation that served as a transit point was then completely cleared.

As a result, the spiritual energy circulation system here collapsed.

Unless a huge amount of money is spent to repair the environment here, the entire sect will have to be relocated elsewhere to be more conducive to its development.

However, neither repairing the environment nor relocating the sect is an easy task.

With the current financial resources of Xianyun Sect, it cannot support either of the two options.

In this battle between the two sects, the Miaoyin Sect lost a large number of elite soldiers, and its top combat forces were completely wiped out.

But the Xianyun Sect wasn't much better off; their sect's resources had been depleted to the point of near collapse. Without any remedial measures, the sect's decline was inevitable.

The strength of a sect is determined by many factors, and the presence of top masters is certainly an important factor.

But resources are also indispensable. To be frank, Xianyun Sect is currently short of resources, and it's not just a general shortage. Without resources, how can the sect continue to develop?

When the other elders learned that the huge amount of spirit stones Qi Honglian moved out came from the sect's treasury, they were dumbfounded.

It's impossible to blame Qi Honglian for this. At that time, there were only enough spirit stones in the treasury to spend on the sect protection formation.

However, they did not dare to tell this matter to the disciples below, otherwise the whole sect would be in chaos.

Not only the fairies of Xianyun Sect were worried, Zhao Kangping was also depressed.

After Jiang Yanfei blew herself up, her body was torn into pieces, and she did not drop any gold coins at all.

The same thing happened to the other two women; they didn't get any spoils left.

But it was not without gain. He found some golden flames at the center of the nuclear explosion. They were Jiang Yanfei's innate fire, and he collected them.

He felt that refining these flames might help him practice the Pure Yang Art. However, Aunt Yun had not yet woken up, and he was guarding her bedside, so he had no intention of refining them.

"Hmm." The woman lying on the bed let out a muffled groan.

Zhao Kangping raised his head and saw Aunt Yun's eyelashes move slightly.

He leaned over excitedly and grabbed one of her bare hands. He hoped that he would be the first person Aunt Yun saw when she woke up.

As expected, Aunt Yun really woke up. She had taken a lot of elixirs to restore her spirit, so if she still couldn't recover, there was really nothing she could do.

"Ping'er." The beautiful aunt's lips were pale and she was still a little weak.

But when she saw that he was fine, she felt relieved.

Auntie's beautiful eyelashes fluttered, and her eyes were filled with deep sleepiness, but she still forced herself to ask, "How long have I been unconscious?"

Jiang Yanfei herself was at the late stage of the Refinement Realm. When she self-destructed, she was in a transformed state, and her strength temporarily increased to the peak of the Refinement Realm.

However, the power of her self-explosion should still be calculated based on the late stage of Lianxu.

Even so, she would still be seriously injured. She felt that she must have been in a coma for a long time, possibly months, or even years.

However, Zhao Kangping told her, "We just finished fighting those three women yesterday. It turns out that Liu Xiangjun from your Xianyun Sect is a traitor. She has been colluding with the Miaoyin Sect for a long time."

"She wanted to kill us yesterday, but I killed her?"

Nangong Ruyun couldn't believe that she hadn't been unconscious for long. But when she heard that Liu Xiangjun was a traitor, she was even more surprised.

"What? How could Xiangjun betray me?"

"She said you killed someone you shouldn't have killed. She's not sure exactly what happened. It was probably someone close to her who was killed by Aunt Yun."

"Impossible. The person I want to kill must have done something unforgivable. If they have accomplices, I will definitely investigate their entire network. If I killed anyone close to her, I would definitely find out, and I would never let her hold such an important position."

Nangong Ruyun was determined and she was very sure that her memory was correct.

She has been the leader of Xianyun Sect for so many years. It’s hard to say other things, but nothing that happens in Xianyun Sect can be hidden from her.

Don't think that because she is frozen all year round, she is not well-informed. In fact, she has spies all over the sect.

If Liu Xiangjun had a grudge against her, she would definitely not let Junior Sister Liu become an elder.

The look in Zhao Kangping's eyes when he looked at Aunt Yun didn't seem like he was joking.

"Um, Aunt Yun, don't worry about it for now. Just take a good rest first."

He was a little puzzled. He remembered Liu Xiangjun's gnashing teeth and bloodshot eyes. It was obvious that she had some deep hatred for Aunt Yun, and it didn't seem like she was faking it.

Aunt Yun wasn't stupid, so how could she allow a time bomb to remain in the sect? But this was even more strange, Zhao Kangping always felt that something was wrong.

They didn't dwell on this topic and went on to talk about how Aunt Yun woke up so quickly.

In fact, Aunt Yun was seriously injured and her body was invaded by lust.

This kind of flame is mixed with too much chaotic energy, and it will never be good if it remains in the human body.

But Zhao Kangping discovered that his Yang Yan could actually expel it from Aunt Yun's body and purify it.

So Zhao Kangping worked hard to help Aunt Yun clear the flames in her body.

Combined with the elixirs that had been stored in the Xianyun Sect's treasury for many years, her soul was healed so quickly.

But he also told Aunt Yun about the situation of Xianyun Sect.

Faced with so many bad things, Aunt Yun couldn't help but frown.

Although Aunt Yun is no longer seriously injured, she is still a little weak after recovering from a serious injury, so she must rest in Xianyun Sect for a while.

Originally, he had come back just to deal with the matter of the Xianyun Sect's leader's full power transition, but ended up being involved in the Miaoyin Sect's attack.

The Miaoyin Sect suffered a huge loss this time. Jiang Yanfei, who had been at odds with Aunt Yun for many years, died just like that. Its overall strength was bound to decline by several levels.

But the Xianyun Sect was not in a much better situation either. They were almost out of food. It could be said that this was the biggest financial crisis in history.

Just like a country’s frontline soldiers cannot get their salaries, disciples in a sect may also mutiny if they don’t receive their monthly salary.

The lack of spirit stones has a significant impact on the disciples' cultivation and concerns their fundamental interests. This matter must be handled properly.

Time quickly came to the next day, and Nangong Ruyun heard that Liu Xiangjun was not dead, but was imprisoned in a cell. She then had the idea of ​​going to see her.

When she saw this junior sister, Nangong Ruyun was also a little surprised.

Liu Xiangjun became so stupid and foolish that she could no longer recognize people.

"Have you searched her soul?" asked Nangong Ruyun.

Also accompanying them were Master and Disciple Qi Honglian, Zhao Kangping, and several elders.

Qi Honglian said, "No, we have someone keeping her under strict supervision. No one has come to visit. I only found out about her condition not long ago."

At this time, Liu Xiangjun was leaning against the corner of the cell. Seeing so many people outside the cell door, she was trembling with fear.

Nangong Ruyun just took a quick glance and found that she was indeed mentally ill and not pretending.

"That's because you hit too hard." Nangong Ruyun remembered what Zhao Kangping told her. Later, Qi Honglian finished off the attack and captured Liu Xiangjun.

"No, my fire lotus won't hurt the soul. I didn't do it." Qi Honglian immediately defended herself after hearing what her senior sister said.

Nangong Ruyun came here this time to see what was going on with Liu Xiangjun.
