CHAPTER 946: CHAPTER 26: THE SIXTH APPEARS, HIDDEN KILLING INTENT

Xiao Jie asked, "How do you know Gu Yun State is in the north?"

"Hahaha, isn’t it obvious? How did you know? Do you really think you’re the only one who can calculate the location of Gu Yun State? The world is full of talented individuals, and you truly underestimate the heroes of the world.

Today, I will let you understand; in fact, I calculated the location of Gu Yun State a thousand years ago and came here."

Xiao Jie thought to himself, fine, there really are quite a few smart people out there. He had considered this possibility before, but he always thought of players, never considering that NPCs might also come seeking immortality.

"Then why do you stay here instead of moving forward, unless—are you afraid of the Nine Evil Yin Wind?"

"Heh, the mere Nine Evil Yin Wind, I’m naturally not afraid. Before I came here, I already found a way to deal with this Nine Evil Yin Wind, but the path to immortality is arduous, and the Nine Evil Yin Wind is just one of the challenges. If you want to seek immortality, first, you must have Immortal Fate.

Those heading north to seek immortality generally have such treasures, but even with a piece or two of Immortal Fate, it might not be enough. They must accumulate more and achieve success in one strike."

Xiao Jie finally understood.

"So you decided to settle down here because anyone heading north for immortality would definitely encounter the Nine Evil Yin Wind and would definitely come down to find a way, and once they come down, they will definitely find your manor and seek directions from you.

Then you find a way to kill those seeking immortality and steal their treasures?"

Xiao Jie, having said this, confirmed his suspicions. This old rascal is truly sinister.

Cang Qiu Sheng did indeed nod and said, "As expected of someone seeking immortality, you’ve figured it out so quickly?"

"But there’s one thing I still don’t understand, why don’t you just act in the manor?"

"Heh, anyone who can embark on the path of immortality must have some support, either a peerless master or profound in Daoist Skills, always possessing some strange ability. If I act in the manor, what if I can’t beat you? What if you escape?

It’s naturally more assured to lure you into this cave before acting.

Now this cave is sealed by my talisman, and the Snow Monsters I’ve raised are besieging you. Even if you had wings, it would be hard to fly away. Since you understand, why struggle? Just die obediently!"

Xiao Jie performed a Residual Shadow Steps to dodge the huge ice block thrown by the Snow Monster, activated Flying Cloud Chasing Moon, and headed straight for the dome. He was naturally not afraid of death but unwilling to go down easily. What if his superb control could defeat these big monsters?

No harm in trying anyway.

However, before he could fly up, a glaring red light suddenly emitted from his body, and runes like invisible shackles instantly pressed him to the ground, fixing him there unable to move.

It’s that spiritual talisman!

Xiao Jie immediately realized that Cang Qiu Sheng’s plan was foolproof. Luckily, his main body didn’t come; otherwise, under this talisman pressure, he might indeed fall into the trap.

Facing the encirclement of over ten level-40 Snow Monsters, Xiao Jie truly had no desire to fight.

He directly switched back to his main body.

Without a word, he turned and walked towards the cave exit.

————————

Although Xiao Jie let the Avatar fend for itself, the Avatar did not stop its self-rescue. Once Xiao Jie stopped controlling it, the Avatar naturally took over control.

First, it used Qi Protection to break the immobilizing Spell, then relied on its movement technique to continue widening the distance, transforming into the Howling Moon Grey Wolf and constantly Summoning Wolf Spirits, managing to hold out for more than a minute under the attack of the dozen or so Snow Monsters.

However, ultimately, in terms of level and strength, it was far inferior, being slowed by a Cold Ice Breath from a Snow Monster, and in a blink of an eye, it was frozen into an ice sculpture by the Cold Ice Breaths spit by the group of Snow Monsters.

"Heh heh heh, why persist like this? Don’t you know that eventually, you can’t escape death? But I don’t blame you; even ants cling to life... Let’s finish it!"

The Snow Monsters surged forward, their giant claws madly grabbing, and in an instant, the ice sculpture shattered...

However, the imagined scene of blood and flesh flying did not occur. The shattered body dissipated into the air like a cloud of smoke.

In the manor ten miles away, observing the battle through the Round Light Skill, Cang Qiu Sheng’s face changed. What? Where is he?

Seeing the empty ground inside the cave, Cang Qiu Sheng looked utterly stunned.

"Roar! A Dragon Roar made his expression change drastically.

The next second—boom! A lightning bolt suddenly struck down, shattering the roof of the house.

Cang Qiu Sheng hurriedly rushed out of the house, and there in the sky, a black and white Demon Dragon swooped and soared, surrounded by gathering dark clouds, thunder and lightning, murder in the air.

Seeing Cang Qiu Sheng’s voice, the Demon Dragon let out a Dragon Roar, and in an instant, dozens of Thunderbolts crashed down.

Dragon Thunder Defense—Thunderbolt!!
