Chapter 324: Encirclement Again
Chapter 324: Encirclement Again
The cultivators who surrounded the two also did not expect Qin Baiqing to suddenly make a move, and subconsciously looked in the direction of the incident.
An inconspicuous monk who had been hiding in the crowd revealed his true face. One of his arms had been crippled, and his face was distorted as he swallowed a pill to stop the flow of spiritual energy in his body, with hatred revealed in his eyes.
"Young Master Duan finally showed up." Qin Baiqing only regretted that she couldn't be a step faster, allowing him to avoid the fatal blow.
What I was originally aiming at was his dantian.
She still controlled the icy spirit around Duan Yao, ready to strike again at any time, while asking:
"You were the one who spread the rumor about Binghu? Then, Young Master Duan, would you mind if I tell you the truth about your so-called immortal cultivation?"
Few people know about the method of using media to communicate with the old Heavenly Dao. Even if someone gets it, they will probably be fooled by Duan Yao in the first place and join the old Heavenly Dao.
Qin Baiqing suddenly targeted everyone, and everyone's attention was finally diverted. They followed her gaze and looked at Duan Yao doubtfully, waiting for his explanation.
"Nonsense, the Goddess's Tears are in your hands, how can I know the truth?" Duan Yao was panicked for a moment, and said indignantly:
"Everyone, please stop listening to their attempts to divert attention. The goddess is an immortal. There is nothing wrong with the goddess' tears being able to help people become immortals. It's just an excuse for them not to share the treasure."
After saying that, he changed the subject and said with a sinister smile, "The treasures they obtained are not only the Goddess' Tears. Fellow Taoists, you might as well look at the ground. The treasures on the skeletons of countless cultivators over the years have all disappeared."
"They must have taken it!"
"So, even if there is only one Goddess's Tear, they have a lot of treasures piled up on them, ensuring that everyone has a share."
This instantly encouraged some monks who had been thinking of giving up because they felt there was no hope of snatching the Goddess's Tears due to the presence of too many powerful people.
Their greedy eyes swept across the countless skeletons in the ice cave ruins, as if they saw countless relics and magical weapons, and they could no longer sit still.
"It was obviously you who took it!" Qin Baiqing gritted her teeth in anger.
But Duan Yao had already seized the initiative by opening his mouth. No matter how much he explained, he would not be able to change the preconceived ideas of the crowd.
Countless monks who had trapped them in the icy lake were jealous and couldn't wait to take action.
The mob should not be provoked, so Qin Baiqing immediately gave up fighting with them and secretly opened the space path, ready to escape with Feng Budu at any time.
The Taoism spread around, and the crowd continued to approach. The atmosphere was extremely tense, and any disturbance would be infinitely magnified among the crowd.
At this critical moment, Qin Baiqing suddenly tightened Feng Budu's hand.
He raised his other hand to tear open a crack in space, about to escape from the ice lake.
"No! They're going to run away!"
Duan Yao had seen the difficulty of the space path, and he woke up everyone who had not yet reacted.
The Tears of the Goddess were right before their eyes, and everyone did not care about gains and losses. The powerful one who had transcended the tribulation acted without hesitation and forcefully blocked off the surrounding space.
Qin Baiqing was forced to step into the space road, and watched the crack being blocked. He was trapped within the current ice lake with no way to escape.
Everyone was already getting excited and staring at the two of them with jealous eyes.
Especially since they tried to escape, they became more certain of their ideas.
The one blocking the way ahead, Du Jie, had been trapped in the Spirit Refining Realm for many years and had long been obsessed with becoming an immortal. He was determined to kill someone by mistake rather than let him go, rather than miss the opportunity to become an immortal.
The one who successfully sealed off the space, Du Jie, stood up and said magnanimously but without question: "I will not pursue the treasure, but the two Goddesses Lei must hand it over. This is your last chance."
"I advise you two to be less greedy, be careful that you won't be able to keep too much."
"What nonsense are you talking about." Qin Baiqing interrupted him unhappily: "Stop making high-sounding excuses. You guys are just robbing things, do you think you are right? If you want to fight, just fight. What nonsense are you talking about."
Qin Baiqing was already impatient as his own space path had stumbled for the first time. He directly attacked the man who was ruining his plans, tore through the space, appeared in front of the other party, and struck him with a palm.
The one who was undergoing the tribulation was on guard at all times. His figure flashed and circled behind Qin Baiqing. All of his own Taoism was opened, and an absolute domain controlled by himself spread out behind Qin Baiqing.
But before the domain touched Qin Baiqing, Feng Budu had already stepped forward, and the murderous intent that had been brewing for a long time was all directed at Dujie, directly shattering the Taoist school that he had spread, forcing him to retreat several steps, and to find himself incredibly almost crushed.
He was unwilling to give up, and his originally restrained aura rose again. He used all his trump cards to cover Qin Baiqing and the other person with his huge momentum. He gathered his Taoism and was about to crush the two of them.
But just when Du Jie showed a smile of success, everyone's faces suddenly froze and they looked at the two figures in disbelief.
The two of them had turned into ferocious scarecrows, and the smiles on their faces seemed like provocation and ridicule.
The real Qin Baiqing had already taken the opportunity to pry open the space blockade, and escaped thousands of miles away with Feng Budu in the blink of an eye. The vast white snowfield kept shrinking behind them, and finally disappeared.
"A bunch of jealous idiots."
Qin Baiqing put her hands on her hips, still wearing a disguise, and stopped walking before looking behind her and taunting:
"A bunch of people got so jealous that they lost their minds. They were fooled by Duan Yao... But it doesn't matter. Duan Yao was also fooled by me."
After that, he pretended to put away his disguise and said lightly: "We have obtained the Goddess Peak and the Goddess Tears. Let's go back."
She already understood the matter, and as for the remaining group of people, Qin Baiqing didn't take them to heart at all.
There are many people who have been trapped in the tribulation period for many years and have been obsessed with becoming immortals. However, under the standards of the new heaven, even if someone really grabs a treasure that can help them ascend to immortality, they still cannot become immortals if they do not have enough merit.
"Wait a minute." Feng Budu stopped Qin Baiqing.
He said thoughtfully: "While everyone's attention is still on the Goddess's Tears, let's take the opportunity to go to the Duan family."
Qin Baiqing understood and smiled playfully: "The Duan family is defenseless now, so we can take advantage of this opportunity to counterattack without leaving a name."
"good idea!"
The two of them immediately turned back and headed towards the Duan family.
However, they ignored Duan Yao who had little presence. Little did they know that the angry people in Binghu were instigated by Duan Yao again at this time. Thinking of the two people's previous style of revenge, they directly led everyone to the outside of Duan's city.
Ahead is the city where the Duan family’s old house is located.
Seeing victory in sight, Qin Baiqing approached the city, but her relaxed smile suddenly disappeared. She paused to avoid the secret attack and saw the familiar people.
And Duan Yao in the middle, whose eyes turned red with anger.
"You really want to launch a sneak attack." He sneered, with a hint of pride in his anger, and continued to guide everyone: "They want to take the opportunity to retaliate against me because I told them about the treasures on them."
As for the tribulation-crossing cultivator who had just been tricked by Qin Baiqing, he was already enraged and was staring at Qin Baiqing with a murderous look.
