Chapter 116 I know, I know, I'm a person who values my life very much.
Zhong Lingxin had already run far away.
She was a little worried. So far, she had only encountered a few injured sect disciples; the rest were all evil cultivators.
Are there more unorthodox cultivators than sect disciples?
Does this mean that heretical practitioners have gained the upper hand?
Zhong Lingxin became more careful in her actions, and she stuck the invisibility talisman even tighter.
More than half a month passed, and she encountered several more groups of evil cultivators.
The heretical cultivators usually lived in groups of three to five, and in some groups, there were nearly a hundred of them.
Zhong Lingxin dared not make a move again, and carefully walked around them each time.
During this time, she heard news that there was an abandoned ancient city ahead called Flying Dragon City. The spiritual energy within the city was fluctuating intensely, as if some treasure was about to emerge. Cultivators from righteous sects and evil cultivators were all rushing towards Flying Dragon City.
The leader of the heretical cultivators issued an order to ambush and kill the righteous sect cultivators who were coming to Flying Dragon City.
Therefore, all the evil cultivators were on their way to gather in Flying Dragon City.
Along the way, the evil cultivators were extremely excited. They had been lying low for too long, and the resources of the Immortal Spirit Continent had been almost entirely taken by the righteous sects. The resources they, the evil cultivators, had obtained were far too few, which seriously affected their cultivation.
Now, having the opportunity to rob cultivators from righteous sects and even hunt their souls is truly a win-win situation.
Zhong Lingxin frowned secretly. Judging from the tone of the evil cultivators, their numbers were greater than those of the righteous sects. In the past year or so, they had also hunted down many righteous sects' cultivators and taken their souls, which greatly increased the strength of the evil cultivators.
On the contrary, cultivators from righteous sects, affected by the violent spiritual energy, saw little improvement in their cultivation after entering.
With this shift in power, the evil cultivators did indeed gain the upper hand over the righteous sect cultivators.
I heard that most of the cultivators from the righteous sects are gathered in the east of Flying Dragon City.
Most of these evil cultivators gathered in the western part of Flying Dragon City.
Both sides are gathering in Flying Dragon City.
Zhong Lingxin saw the tall, thin, evil cultivator who had chased her before.
When Zhong Lingxin looked over, the tall, thin, evil cultivator suddenly waved his hand, and a pitch-black claw reached out towards Zhong Lingxin.
Zhong Lingxin was shocked. Instead of retreating, she advanced, crouching low to narrowly escape from the dark claws and hiding under a boulder.
After slashing out with his claw, the tall, thin, evil cultivator darted forward, reaching the spot where Zhong Lingxin had just been standing, and released a ball of pitch-black flame.
The pitch-black flames burned silently, yet the distortion of the surrounding air was clearly perceptible.
Several heretical cultivators flew to the tall, thin cultivator's side, asking one after another, "Brother, what did you find?" "Brother Yu, what's going on?" "Brother Yu, have cultivators from righteous sects arrived?" "Could it be that the cultivators from righteous sects overheard what we were saying?"
Brother Yu said calmly, "He's the elite from the righteous sect that I chased down last time. He's been in our vicinity the whole time."
The heretical cultivators all became alert and looked around nervously.
Brother Yu added, "No need to look, they've already left."
Just as he finished speaking, he raised his claws again and crushed the stone on which Zhong Lingxin was lying.
Zhong Lingxin broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, when all the evil cultivators flew towards Brother Yu, she also floated three zhang away to his side, hiding among them.
Brother Yu raised both claws repeatedly, unleashing countless claw shadows within a hundred feet of the large rock.
Only after confirming that they hadn't caught him did they say regretfully, "He got away again!"
None of the evil cultivators dared to speak.
Brother Yu said no more and led the group of evil cultivators on their way.
At this moment, Zhong Lingxin was afraid of Brother Yu's vigilance and dared not leave the evil cultivators, nor dared to fly at the back of the group. She only kept her distance from a few evil cultivators near the back where there were fewer people.
Sure enough, Brother Yu raised his claws at the back of the line twice more before he was sure no one was following.
Zhong Lingxin finally stopped on a very inconspicuous gentle slope in an open area, completely breaking away from the evil cultivators' group.
According to the sect's records, although this Brother Yu is not the leader of the evil cultivators, his reputation and combat power are above those of the leaders. His influence on the ancient battlefield surpasses that of the leaders, and he is respectfully addressed as Senior Brother, Big Brother, or Brother Yu by the evil cultivators.
Seeing Yu Ge's vigilance, Zhong Lingxin felt that even ten of her own wouldn't be a match for him, and the disciples of righteous sects, such as Chen Zhixiong, would probably not be a match for him either.
It seems that with Brother Yu around, it will be difficult for the righteous sects to win.
Zhong Lingxin decided to use her master's trapping and killing formation again.
Lele told Zhong Lingxin in her mind's eye: "Xinxin, his fire is the tenth ranked Netherworld Ghost Fire, which is now higher than mine. Be careful."
Zhong Lingxin nodded. Although she hadn't looked up, she had felt her heart flutter. Coupled with the fact that she hadn't noticed any change in the light, she had a guess in her mind.
She asked Lele, "Lele, it's said that ghostly flames love to burn souls and can cause fatal damage. If I use a trapping formation to imprison Brother Yu, can the ghostly flames destroy my master's trapping formation?"
Lele thought for a moment and replied, "It shouldn't be possible. Your master's trapping formation is of the highest grade. The Netherworld Ghost Fire is limited by Brother Yu's cultivation level, so it's at most the sixth grade. Even if it's divine fire, it can't burn down your master's trapping formation. However, you still need to be careful. You've only just established your foundation. If you use your divine sense to control a highest grade trapping and killing formation, and you encounter someone like the evil cultivator you killed last time, you'll be in trouble."
Zhong Lingxin nodded: "That person last time must have been a body-snatcher, right? He actually knows eighth-level formations. As far as I know, Brother Yu is not a body-snatcher."
Lele cautioned Zhong Lingxin, "You still need to be careful. There are many intricacies among cultivators, and often, cultivation level is just a reference."
Zhong Lingxin smiled and agreed: "Okay, I'll be careful, but this Brother Yu must be killed. I'm traveling alone, so I can outrun their large group. I'll circle around to the front and set up a trap for them. If I can kill him, I will; if not, I'll run."
Zhong Chun couldn't help but remind him, "Be careful, and don't forget your array plate. If your array plate falls into Brother Yu's hands, then you won't be killing him, you'll be delivering food to him, or even the main course."
Zhong Lingxin agreed again: "I know, I know. I'm a person who values my life. Ever since I left the main group, my invisibility talisman has never left my side."
Huanhuan couldn't help but retort to Zhong Chun: "What kind of crappy tower did you build? If Xinxin hides inside, the tower will just be exposed outside. Even an idiot would know it's a useless space! It's really useless."
Zhong Chun argued, "This is not my fault. It's because Xin Xin's level is too low. If she were at a higher level, she could open half of the Nine-Layered Tower and turn into a speck of dust, disappearing into the air."
Zhong Lingxin also wanted to open half of the Nine-Layered Pagoda as soon as possible. If she could have hidden in the small pagoda when Brother Yu swung his claws at her, she wouldn't have taken such a big risk.
