327: Chapter 327 Thousand-Year-Old Spirit Herb, Wind-Controlling Grass

"Fellow Daoist, spare my life!" Zhang Peng felt fear for the first time and hurriedly begged for mercy.

However, only killing intent existed in Chen Xuanyi's eyes, nothing else.

The two had already formed a mortal grudge, and only by completely slaying the other party here could it be resolved now.

Seeing that Chen Xuanyi had no intention of letting him go, Zhang Peng sternly threatened, "Fellow Daoist, I am the son of the Grand Elder of the Yulong Sect, ah!"

Before he could finish speaking, Chen Xuanyi slashed off his head with a single sword stroke, then casually put away his Storage Pouch and burned him thoroughly to ashes with a fireball.

"Finally resolved, the son of the Yulong Sect Grand Elder, huh?" he said calmly.

The two sides were already in an irreconcilable relationship; since that was the case, what identity the other party had did not matter at all.

After a while, he returned to the side of Lin Luochen and the others, and Chen Xuanyi said, "Fellow Daoist Lin, it has been resolved."

"...Sorry to trouble Fellow Daoist Chen,..." Seeing Chen Xuanyi return, Lin Luochen was somewhat stunned. Just as she expressed her thanks, the other party was about to leave.

"Fellow Daoist need not be like this; this was originally a transaction. In addition, within the limits of my Family's strength and principles, my Chen Family will make three moves for your Lin Family." After Chen Xuanyi finished speaking, he parted ways with the crowd.

"Who is this Senior?" someone from the Lin Family asked.

"We'll talk about these matters after returning to the Family; it's hard to explain here," Lin Yiming said to these clansmen.

They needed to give these clansmen some explanation.

...

After returning to the Family, seeing that Chen Lingxi had yet to enter seclusion, Chen Xuanyi feigned anger and said, "You don't trust your Tenth Old Ancestor, little girl."

"Not at all. I certainly believe that the Tenth Old Ancestor can definitely defeat the opponent," Chen Lingxi said playfully.

Then, under Chen Xuanyi's urging, she returned to her Immortal Cave and began seclusion.

Chen Xuanyi couldn't help but chuckle. Of course he knew Chen Lingxi was worried about him, which was why she dragged her feet and hadn't entered seclusion.

Now that he was back, this little girl could also concentrate on preparing for matters concerning the Purple Mansion.

...

An unknown distance away from the Chixia Mountain Range, there was a valley covered by a large swath of red maple forests.

This was the Red Maple Valley, belonging to the boundary area between Tianli City and Taoyuan City.

"Brother Hong, what should we do next?" Chen Lingxiu inquired.

"Keep waiting until they both suffer heavy losses," Hong Tao explained.

During this period of time, the two of them came out together to hunt Yao Beasts, increasing their knowledge and combat experience.

Yet unexpectedly, today they were dragged into the dispute between two groups of people. The crucial point was that their Chen Family's reputation did not hold much weight here.

Because these two groups of people both came from Golden Core factions stronger than the Chen Family.

One group consisted of Inner Sect Disciples of the Tianli Sect, and the other group consisted of Inner Sect Disciples of the Peach Blossom Garden.

However, besides them, there were several other groups of Cultivators around, and these Foundation Establishment Cultivators were also looking at both sides with expressions of difficulty.

Originally, one of their groups had encountered this stalk of yufeng grass first, but right after they resolved the guarding Yao Beast and wanted to seize it, several other groups of Cultivators were also attracted by the commotion of their spellcasting, and then rushed here together.

Among them were Chen Lingxiu and Hong Tao.

Yet while they were fighting fiercely to contend for this yufeng grass, the Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the Tianli Sect and Peach Blossom Garden also appeared.

If not for the effects of this Spirit Medicine being Heaven-Defying enough, perhaps they wouldn't have contended with them for it.

After all, it was rumored that after consuming this Spirit Medicine, it could allow a Cultivator to obtain an ability similar to a Divine Ability. This ability could enhance the Cultivator's effect in utilizing wind-attribute spiritual power, and if used well, it could even become a life-saving means.

Even after cultivation reached the Zifu Stage, the usefulness of this yufeng grass would greatly decrease, but that required them to reach the Zifu Stage in the first place. Moreover, among the dozens of Foundation Establishment Cultivators here, how many could become Zifu Stage experts?

However, if it were just these two Golden Core factions contending with each other, that would be one thing, but they seemed to have no intention of letting them go.

They insisted on making them also participate in dealing with the other side.

Chen Lingxiu and Hong Tao belonged to Tianli City, and their opponents were three Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

Among those three Foundation Establishment Cultivators, besides one being at the fourth layer of Foundation Establishment, the other two were between the first and second layers of Foundation Establishment respectively.

And both of their cultivations were at the third layer of Foundation Establishment, which was why they could join forces to deal with the other side.

It was just that the five of them were not exerting their full effort, merely putting on a show. Only after Tianli City or Peach Blossom Garden completely decided the victor could they choose whether to fight or flee.

Do not look at how the other three people and Chen Lingxiu's duo had a tacit understanding; that was also because after exchanging several rounds of blows, the opponents understood that Chen Lingxiu's duo were not easy to mess with. Otherwise, they would have seized the opportunity to resolve the two long ago.

Chen Lingxiu struck out, the wind-attribute Dharmic power within his body continuously circulating, causing his speed to surge drastically. In the blink of an eye, he arrived behind one of them and slammed down with a palm strike.

Facing him head-on, seeing this, that first-layer Foundation Establishment Cultivator wanted to dodge, but his body was firmly locked in place.

Upon closer inspection, he realized it was Chen Lingxiu who had used a wind-attribute Spell to trap him in place.

He hurriedly took action, driving a shield to block backward.

Hum!

Chen Lingxiu slapped down on this shield, but a crisp sound came from his hand, failing to break the opponent's defense.

However, it also cracked the opponent's shield.

What?

The opponent was shocked. He hadn't expected Chen Lingxiu's move to be so immensely powerful, shattering his tier-2 defensive Magical Artifact into such a state with just a single blow. Judging by this appearance, he probably wouldn't be able to block it for a few more strikes.

Fortunately, his companion beside him was no pushover either. Exerting force in time, the other party sacrificed a verdant Flying Sword, slashing toward Chen Lingxiu.

Chen Lingxiu merely shifted his steps, retreating over ten zhang away in the blink of an eye.

On the other side, Hong Tao singled-handedly fought the fourth-layer Foundation Establishment Cultivator whose cultivation was higher than his.

The two had been fighting for a full quarter of an hour, and almost neither had gained any advantage.

This result made the opponent somewhat suspicious; he felt that these two definitely did not come from an ordinary faction, otherwise they wouldn't be so strong.

Originally, the combat power displayed by Hong Tao had already made him wary.

Chen Lingxiu's performance on the other side was even more exaggerated. His cultivation was slightly higher than the other two, but the gap in strength between him and the other two was huge, so he could suppress the opponents all by himself while dealing with both of them.

Even if those two joined forces, they couldn't gain the slightest advantage in Chen Lingxiu's hands.

The two sides remained entangled just like that.

As for the two factions Tianli Sect and Peach Blossom Garden, they had also taken action.

However, generally speaking, the Tianli Sect's strength was slightly weaker.

Among the four Foundation Establishment Cultivators, the highest was already at the eighth layer of Foundation Establishment, and the lowest was at the third layer of Foundation Establishment. Yet despite such combat power, they were still suppressed by the Cultivators of the Peach Blossom Garden.

Peach Blossom Garden only recruited female Cultivators, so there were only female Cultivators over there.

And the ones participating in the battle from Peach Blossom Garden this time were also four people.

It was just that one of them had reached the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment, the stronger of the other three had reached the sixth layer of Foundation Establishment, and the weaker ones had also reached the third layer of Foundation Establishment.

If not for their overall cultivation being even stronger than the Tianli Sect's, it would have been impossible to suppress the Tianli Sect.

One could only say that the Tianli Sect's luck this time was not very good.
