Chapter 76 Spiritual Source Acquired
Mu Shan's eyes turned cold.
Without the Zheng family grandfather and grandson, it will be much more difficult for him to take over Pingyang Market.
By missing the opportunity, his losses were far more than just a small amount.
Aside from the Zheng family grandfather and grandson, who else can act as their advocate and role model?
Did they manage to get all of Da De to join the demonic sect and surrender without a fight?
"【Delusional Slash】!"
Without much hesitation, he unleashed a sword technique at Bai Tianxiong.
The sword light, radiating killing intent, was so captivating and soul-stealing that it sent chills down Bai Tianxiong's spine.
But he dared not beg for mercy, nor did he dare turn back.
Mu Shan clearly intended to kill him.
Fortunately, Mu Shan's sword was fast, and he ran even faster.
Then, Bai Tianxiong let out a loud shout.
A vibrant blue aura bloomed around him as he transformed himself into a sword, unleashing that divine power—
"【Frosty Swift Edge】!"
This supernatural power was originally designed to be unstoppable by the sharpness of Xuanbing and the speed of frost, but when it was transferred to Bai Tianxiong, it became a divine skill for escaping.
It would be absolutely impossible for Zheng Zhizhuo to escape from this supernatural power.
But Bai Tianxiong could.
Because what he's best at isn't actually fighting, but rather, like Lu Qingyun, being a coward and adept at escaping.
Mu Shan's coldness was almost frozen on his face.
His killing intent was completely undisguised, causing the gradually emerging demonic disciples around him to tremble in fear.
His expression was like that of the Grim Reaper, his gaze fixed intently on Bai Tianxiong's direction.
"Old man, I never imagined you'd actually escape by sheer luck!"
Mu Shan closed his eyes, which were filled with murderous intent, and then slowly opened them a few seconds later.
Although Bai Tianxiong escaped this time, he won't be so lucky next time.
To ruin his good deeds and hinder his spiritual practice.
Next time, he will surely spare the lives of this dormitory.
"My lord, what should be done with the prisoners from the Zheng and Bai families...?"
One of his men walked over, trembling.
This was a minor leader under Mu Shan. Although he was at the ninth level of Qi Refining, which was only a hair's breadth from the half-step Foundation Establishment stage, he looked at Mu Shan as if he were a god or a demon.
"Now that Zheng Zhizhuo is dead, both families are no longer of any use to us, so let's kill them all."
Mu Shan waved his hand, completely ignoring the horrified looks on those people's faces, and quickly made a ruthless decision.
They wanted to live, but they didn't know that the suffering of living was greater than that of dying.
Even after they die, they can directly become resources for the demonic sect, used to refine various magical artifacts and forge various formations.
And while they live, they will not only become provisions in the future, but also suffer torment from demonic cultivators.
The underling gave an awkward laugh.
Their Lord Mu is sometimes excessively kind.
If he were to choose, he would certainly make full use of these people and turn them into talents.
The people of the Bai and Zheng families were filled with anxiety.
The second branch of the Bai family failed to escape; Bai Tianxiong fled on his own, without taking him with him.
He had originally planned to join the Demonic Sect and become a law-abiding citizen, but unexpectedly, he heard that Mu Shan was going to kill them all.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me! I'm still useful! Spare my life, and I'll be your dog!"
The second branch of the Bai family struggled fiercely, crying and begging for mercy.
However, the leader didn't even look at it.
He waved to his men, mimicking Mu Shan.
With a swift stroke, all the remaining members of the Bai and Zheng families were killed.
He wiped the blood-stained blade of his sword.
The Demonic Sect has countless cultivators at the eighth level of Qi Refining.
Since Lord Mushan has already left...
He certainly wouldn't bother the master for the sake of a mere rogue cultivator.
……
Mu Shan put away the [Nine Netherworld Refining God Array] set up by the black-robed deacon.
This formation is quite good; as long as a lot of lives are sacrificed, its power can be brought infinitely close to that of the Foundation Establishment stage.
The Azure Pool Demonic Sect, as a demonic sect, has no shortage of lives; they can sacrifice them whenever needed.
Mu Shan disdainfully cleaned up the black-robed deacon's belongings and burned him to ashes.
In order to establish his foundation, this person had already squandered all his wealth, and apart from his magic robes and magic sword, he didn't have a single other treasure on him.
But this magic sword was really useless to him.
After all, he had already taken the life and magic sword from a fellow disciple of the Demonic Sect, whose magic sword was naturally much stronger than that of the black-robed deacon.
After taking stock of everything, Mu Shan looked puzzled.
"Lu Qingyun is quick-witted by nature, so it's not hard to guess that he escaped beforehand."
"But where did the spiritual essence born from that spiritual source go?"
"And what about the Pingyang spiritual vein? Why is it about to dissipate?"
The essence and source of spiritual energy can only be explored and collected by those in the later stages of Qi Refining.
It was a war that would lead to the extermination of the entire race.
If the Bai and Zheng families had cultivators capable of collecting spiritual essence and spiritual source, how could they not come out to fight to the death?
Mu Shan was filled with doubts.
Or perhaps a third party took advantage of his battle with the black-robed deacon to steal the spiritual essence and source, which caused the Pingyang spiritual vein to dissipate?
Involuntarily, images of his old friend Lu Qingyun and the long-absent elder Li Fulai of Yunxia Zongfang appeared in his eyes.
Although these two were only at the sixth or seventh level of cultivation, Mu Shan still subconsciously thought of them.
With a light tap of his fingers on the magic sword, the underling heard Mu Shan's icy voice.
"Investigate! Find out who stole this spiritual essence and plundered this spiritual source!"
"Also, find Bai Tianxiong's trail, and I'll make him wish he were dead."
……
Meanwhile, the culprit who stole the spiritual source was right beneath their feet.
Li Fulai rode the Earth Dragon Beast, galloping wildly underground.
"I'm about to leave. Once I get through this hurdle, I, Li Fulai, will also be able to become a half-step Foundation Establishment cultivator!"
His eyes were filled with tears. At this moment, he desperately wanted to leave Pingyang Market as soon as possible, refine the spiritual source, and then find a fairy to relax with.
Test yourself to become a powerful being with perfected Qi!
The road became smoother and smoother, and Li Fulai could almost see the Yunxia Pavilion he had been longing for the next moment.
Light shone through the cave entrance.
Li Fulai also felt a deep sense of reluctance to leave Yunxia Pavilion.
After decades, he was finally leaving this place that held so many beautiful memories for him.
Much later, this place will also turn into ruins due to the dissipation of the spiritual veins.
"What a pity, I'll never come back here again, and I'll never see my poor nephew again!"
Li Fulai sighed, still believing that Lu Qingyun would die on the top of Dongyang Mountain in the struggle between the Zheng and Bai families.
Even now, he still believes that Lu Qingyun is at the sixth level of Qi Refining.
A Qi Refining Level 6 cultivator would naturally be unable to survive a battle between those at the half-step Foundation Establishment stage.
He'll have to find someone else to treat his syphilis next time.
Li Fulai sighed and shook his head.
however.
The next moment, a familiar voice rang out.
"Good Uncle-Master, there's no need to think of me like that!"
Li Fulai's pupils contracted, and the earth dragon beast beneath him staggered, almost losing his grip on the spiritual source.
"It's you!"
Li Fulai's fat face trembled; he was so angry that his beard staggered and his whole body shook.
His seemingly unassuming junior apprentice had actually laid an ambush on him here!
He even thought his plan was foolproof.
Li Fulai's mind raced; he wanted to say something, and planned to beg for mercy.
He felt that Lu Qingyun must have told the Zheng and Bai families about his situation before he dared to appear here.
And he, of course, was no match for those two who were half-step Foundation Establishment cultivators.
However, the next moment.
The earth dragon beast let out a mournful cry.
Li Fulai's vision went black.
He felt a chill on his neck, and the spiritual source he had been longing for plummeted to the ground along with his head.
On his deathbed, Li Fulai was filled with confusion.
How could it be Lu Qingyun who did it himself?
He wasn't even at the sixth level of Qi Refining.
He's not worried about being investigated by the sect?
Lu Qingyun's magic sword was fast, but his hands were even faster.
He quickly slapped Li Fulai's head away and grabbed Lingyuan.
The crystalline spiritual energy shone brightly in his hand, and just by looking at it, Lu Qingyun could feel the boundless spiritual power within.
Upon witnessing the death of its owner.
"Awoo!"
The earth dragon let out another mournful cry.
It bared its teeth and claws, still trying to resist.
However, they were quickly crushed to the ground by the small gravity array that Lu Qingyun had purchased at great expense.
The magic sword is drawn.
Lu Qingyun smiled lightly, finished off the earth dragon beast with a single sword strike, and said with a touch of emotion, "I didn't expect that you, you lizard, would be so loyal and righteous."
"Perfect, I'll send you and my uncle on your journey together, which will also fulfill the bond between you two, master and servant."
