Chapter 191 Preparations for Infiltration

Chapter 191 Preparations for Infiltration
Li Wuxiang spent half the night telling them about the True Spirit of Guiyin Zhenjun. When he mentioned that Jin Zijiu was designed by the Tianxin Sect to suppress the True Spirit, Lu Huaiyuan snorted again: "After all, it is a small family, and it is also petty. Master Li, please don't be surprised by what I said. First of all, the person possessed by the True Spirit should not be kept here at all, but should be treated as an external evil and eliminated."

"A sect has a good heritage, so why would they need to get any experience and knowledge from the True Spirit? Three thousand years of accumulation will only be more than the True Spirit, not less, so why take the risk. Besides... it takes the combined strength of the sect to push a person's cultivation to the Nascent Soul stage. Haha, it's fine if you want to practice the orthodox method, but since you are practicing the skills of your Tianxin sect, you have to work so hard. Alas, this True Spirit is not something you should keep."

After talking for half the night, Li Wuxiang had almost figured out the temperaments of these people. It was very interesting, their personalities were very typical.

Mou Tieshan, who wields a heavy sword, is the leader of this group of people. He said that before they set off, their commander in Dajie Mountain asked him to lead the team.

These six people all have golden elixirs, but the golden elixirs of the Thirty-Six Sects are not like the Sword Sect's golden elixirs, which have three realms: nourishing elixir, cultivating elixir, and transforming elixir. What they practice, in the words of the Sword Sect, is "fake elixir."

Mou Tieshan is at the peak stage of the Golden Core stage and is said to be on his way to becoming an Infant. Li Wuxiang feels that his peak stage may not be much different from his own stage of nourishing the Core in the True Immortal Body Dao Chapter.

The Juque sect he belongs to is probably one of the two strongest sects among the thirty-six sects currently.

His temperament can be summarized as "soldier", calm and a little heroic, but a little more gloomy than Zeng Jianqiu. He is very conscious of being a leader, doesn't care much about other people's gossip and weirdness, and likes to make decisions.

After hearing what Lu Huaiyuan said, he frowned. "Lu Huaiyuan, stop talking. The thirty-six sects are all one family. Which family doesn't have its ups and downs?"

"Ha." Lu Huaiyuan smiled, crossed the gun across his knees, and sat far away.

Li Wuxiang glanced at him, smiled at Mu Tieshan, and whispered, "Thank you, Senior Brother."

Lu Huaiyuan's personality can be summarized as "lawyer", and he is the kind with a very sharp tongue. He is in the middle stage of the Golden Core, and he is not polite at all when he speaks, and he goes straight to the point. He likes to say things that others want to think of, but are embarrassed or inconvenient to say. This person has a clear understanding of the benefits and disadvantages, and always has some contempt for other sects, but the Qianji Sect he belongs to is not one of the two heroes on par with the Juque Sect, but in the second echelon.

The sect that can truly rival the Juque sect in strength should be the Tiangong sect - the short and strong one who wields the big hammer, named Tang Qillang.

Tang Qilang was sitting next to him at this time. After hearing what he said, he leaned over and touched him with his shoulder, winking at him: "You don't have to take it personally. Lu Huaiyuan has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. If something happens in a few days, the first person to save you will be Senior Brother Mou, and the second will be him."

Li Wuxiang smiled.

Tang Qilang moved closer to him and said, "You said that the True Spirit became a well after being suppressed by the Centipede? You were by the well at that time. Didn't you think of getting a bag of water?"

"Why do you want a bag of water?"

"Tsk tsk, if only I was there." Tang Qilang came closer. "Let me tell you, your ancestor Guiyin Zhenjun is related to the Netherworld Earth Mother and the Taiyin Emperor. She herself is the Fairy in the Well! The water in her well can give life to all things and extinguish true fire. If we could get a bag of water, our Tiangong Sect would be very happy. It's a good thing for tempering! Well, after the matter of You Jiuyuan is done, take me there when you have time. I won't treat you unfairly."

Li Wuxiang pretended to be surprised and nodded: "Okay."

He considered Tang Qilang a "peddler". He was kind and smooth, but had sharp eyes. When he pretended to hold the bronze mirror with force, he said that he was not an ordinary Tianxin disciple. But he was the most reluctant to deal with such people, because he could not be sure which of his words were true and which were false.

At this time, Mu Tieshan raised his face towards him and said, "Master Li, let's rest today and continue our journey before dawn tomorrow. The people of the True Form Sect are delicate and will not come out before dawn."

Several people said yes. Liu Hanzhang, who used the rapier of Qingxiao Sect, smiled and said to the two female cultivators, "Senior sisters, you two should guard the first round."

Li Wuxiang didn't quite understand him. When they dug a pit to bury Tianxin's disciples, he was the one who smoothed things over, speaking timidly, as if he was a junior brother who didn't know much about the world.

He didn't interrupt when people were talking just now, but listened very carefully, as if he was an insignificant marginal figure in the group, like a college student just entering the workplace.

But now he knew that these six people were all at the Jindan level. Except for Mu Tieshan who was at the peak of the Jindan level, the remaining five should be equally capable. Liu Hanzhang was able to come here with this group of people, so he must not be an ordinary person. As for his temperament, it was hard to say whether it was real or fake - maybe he was the most scheming one among the six people.

The two female cultivators nodded together, nodded and smiled at Li Wuxiang, then stood up and walked out of the crevice.

These two monks are both from the Suhua sect, and what is even more interesting than their personalities is that they are twins.

The one called Kong Jingci should be the elder sister, and the one called Kong Jingyu should be the younger sister. They look and dress exactly the same. The younger sister is a mute - not a metaphor, but a real mute, and the elder sister doesn't like to talk much, she just likes to smile slightly.

The sisters' behavior was very consistent with the common stereotype of women: slender, beautiful, gentle and non-aggressive, and they did not like to argue. Even the gourds they wore around their waists were filled with healing or poisoning potions.

These... seem to be two "wet nurses".

Li Wuxiang lay down on the ground with the rest of the people, feeling a little curious about what role he played in their minds.

When the Yin hour was almost over, Liu Hanzhang and Lu Huaiyuan, who were on the last night duty, woke up a few people. The Kong sisters had already woken up and went outside the crevice to wash. Li Wuxiang could only hear the sound of water and smell a faint fragrance.

After they quickly ate a few cakes, they set off. At this time, Li Wuxiang urged the power of Dan to lengthen his chin a little, lower his brow bone, and raise his cheekbones.

Such a small change is almost invisible, just like a living person's face and skin will have extremely subtle differences in the morning or evening due to the amount of water he drinks. He changes a little bit today, and a little bit tomorrow, and the six people traveling with him will not notice it. But if it continues for more than ten days, his appearance should be very different from yesterday, and no one will recognize him as Li Wuxiang anymore.

When they first set out on the road, these people seemed to want to test him, walking very fast, like the wind and lightning, and he pretended to try his best to barely keep up. By noon, Li Wuxiang estimated that he had walked nearly 200 miles through the meadows and woods, and he could see You Jiuyuan in the distance.

When he went to Youjiuyuan, it was a paradise with towering mountains and lush forests. But now, looking at it, the dozen peaks on the distant horizon have all faded into a gray color like dead bones. The dead branches on the peaks are crooked, like thousands of charred arms raised high. It is a sunny day today, but the sky above the dozen peaks of Youjiuyuan is lingering with lead-gray clouds. The clouds are thick and very low, and the edges are dark red after quenching iron. At the foot of the mountain, gray fog surges, as if it is alive, sometimes gathering into a python-like vortex and wandering along the rock wall, and sometimes spreading out like ghost claws to reach the sky.

When the thick clouds on the sky occasionally opened up a few cracks and the sun shone through, tiny dots of ghostly green light immediately appeared in the mist, as if You Jiuyuan had come to the world of the living, bringing the air of the underworld with it.

When we got here, we could see people from the True Form Sect on the road. Previously, the people stationed in various places were all Qi-refining monks, but now there were more palace soldiers. Usually, there were about a hundred palace soldiers led by a monk, doing hard labor - the animals brought earth and rocks from somewhere, and the monks commanded the palace soldiers to pile up the bags of earth and rocks high, looking like they were going to build a huge tomb.

These mounds are densely packed on the plain, as if countless people were buried there. The layout seems messy, but it should be based on some specific formation.

Mu Tieshan raised his hand, and several people stopped and hid in a clump of trees. He leaned out to look into the distance, then retracted his head: "The people of the True Form Sect should be setting up a formation, a large formation at that. What do you think?"

Lu Huaiyuan's expression was also very serious at this time, holding his big spear: "It's more than a big formation, I think it should be the Kunyuan Zhenyue Formation. This is the formation used by the Zhenxing Sect to change the earth's energy, right? Logically, they should change the earth's energy near the church first, but now they come to Youjiuyuan and make one alone. Without the protection of the true spirits in the church, it's a thankless task. They must be in a hurry to suppress something - the people of the Sword Sect are gone, and the thing that makes them so hard, I guess it's the East Emperor Seal. Good, the good stuff is really still in Youjiuyuan!"

Tang Qilang frowned and smacked his lips, "I do think it's a bit troublesome. There are three Yuanying in the Sword Sect, right? One is Cui Daocheng, one is Mei Qiulu, and the other is Li Wuxiang - if three Yuanying didn't take the East Emperor Seal with them when they left... it seems that it will be difficult to get this thing."

Lu Huaiyuan sneered, "It's just a Nascent Soul. Even a True Infant is still not as good as our Yang God. They can't do anything, but it doesn't mean that our teachers can't do anything. Senior Brother Mou, what do you say now?"

Mou Tieshan came to see Li Wuxiang, and the other five people also looked at him.

Li Wuxiang was stunned for a moment, made eye contact with them, and shrank back a little: "Senior brothers, you are all at the Golden Core level, so it doesn't make sense for you to ask me to explore the way first, right?"

Mu Tieshan smiled and said, "You don't need to explore the way. It's time to use your Tianxin Sect's magical powers. You hide us in the Xuanguang Mirror, and the two junior sisters will lead us in."

Speaking of the magical powers of the Tianxin Sect, Li Wuxiang only knew this one - Cheng Peixin had given him the Xuanguan Mirror and told him the curse. This time he also found forty-two similar magical weapons in the illusion, so he would not show his fear.

He himself did not want to enter the mirror, but wanted to see what You Jiuyuan had become now, so he pretended to be relieved and said, "That's easy. I will take all four of you in, and then tell the two Junior Sisters Kong about the curse. Then I can ask them to let you out."

Mu Tieshan was stunned: "What about you?"

Li Wuxiang was also stunned: "Me? Ah? I want to go too?"

Lu Huaiyuan smiled coldly: "Of course you have to go. The leader of your Tianxin Sect was about to join the Zhenxing Sect. Who knows which sect you belonged to at that time? If you stay here and we go over there, and you come out of the woods and sell us out, what will happen then?"

“I…” Li Wuxiang sighed, “Let’s not talk about whether I will do this or not. The problem is that this spell is for collecting souls instead of bodies. If I collect myself in, the Qi in my body will not flow, so how can this spell be used? Anyway, if you want me to collect you, I can’t get in.”

Several people looked at each other, as if they thought the situation was difficult to handle. But Mu Tieshan suddenly laughed and said to the others, "Look, this is God helping us. Tianxin Sect is collecting souls. Isn't this just right?"

The elder sister Kong Jingci smiled at Li Wuxiang and said, "Master Li, Senior Brother Mou meant that my gourd was originally..."

She gently patted the magic weapon on her waist and said, "It can only hide dead things, so we were worried about how to sneak into the Nether Nine Abyss. But now that I can see that your Xuanguan Mirror can collect souls, the body can be hidden in my gourd, which is a perfect match."

After hearing her say the three words "a perfect match", Liu Hanzhang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly laughed.

Kong Jingci was stunned for a moment, his face slightly reddened, he glanced at him, and then said to Li Wuxiang: "Master, it doesn't matter if you can't put yourself in. I have another magic treasure here, which was originally enough for the two of us sisters. You can put the environment language in as well, and you and I can use this magic treasure together."

Mou Tieshan clapped his hands: "That's it, all right, let's do it!"

Li Wuxiang stopped refusing and began to recite the incantation in a serious manner. He first interviewed them in front of them and then said solemnly, "Everyone, don't talk to anyone after you enter the mirror. Otherwise, you may be haunted by vengeful ghosts and dragged to Lingshan!"

After trying to pull the person out of the mirror this time, they were relieved. So the five people fell one after another and lay on the ground. Kong Jingyu reached out and took the gourd down and held it above his head, and shouted softly: "Mu Tieshan! Lu Huaiyuan! Tang Qilang! Liu Hanzhang! Kong Jingyu! Do you dare to agree!"

Li Wuxiang was just wondering why this girl suddenly went crazy at this time, when he saw the five bodies on the ground suddenly tremble slightly, and they all turned into five red lights and flew into the gourd.

Kong Jingci hung the gourd back around his waist. Seeing Li Wuxiang's expression, he seemed embarrassed and whispered, "...This is a treasure given to me by my sect leader before I left. The curse is like this."

Li Wuxiang nodded: "Very interesting."

Kong Jingci blushed slightly, stretched out her hand to pull the gourd, and pulled out a nearly transparent ribbon. The ribbon was not long, and looked like a belt, which could only be wrapped around the waist two or three times. She first wrapped it around her waist, then held the other end and looked at Li Wuxiang: "Master, you..."

She paused and coughed softly. "Wrap it around your waist in a while. When we go to You Jiu Yuan, you...well, just recite in your mind, you can't see me, you can't see me, recite twice every time the energy in your body circulates ten times."

"Senior Sister, was this also given to you by your sect's master?"

"Well, what I want you to recite is also a spell."

This Suhua faction is quite interesting.
