Chapter 71 Fleeing to Maple Province Capital
Liu Jinxian dared to kill a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, already surpassing most lower level Qi Condensation Cultivators. Her courage, trump cards, and methods were all extraordinary.
After severely injuring Steward Xu, she still dared to pursue him, her fierce nature far exceeding expectations.
Of course, Wang Yu was still completely unaware of what had happened in this short period. He only sensed the intense commotion from Mysterious Bone Mountain and ran even faster.
With the Night Concealment Spell as cover, and his current Seventh Layer Qi Condensation Stage Cultivation Level, he could sustain this for four hours non-stop. When necessary, he could also take Supreme Grade Spirit Replenishing Pills to replenish his consumed Spirit Power.
Therefore, once he started running, he never thought of stopping.
Top-Grade Pills that were rarely seen in the outside world were so abundant in his hands that he couldn't finish eating them all. After all, Perfection in Pill Refining Art combined with Perfection in Pill Formula had basically allowed him to thoroughly understand the underlying principles and techniques.
Due to the individual differences in Medicinal Herbs, the final Top-Grade Pills produced were rarely a perfect nine, but they were still like candy beans, allowing him to consume them casually.
This also avoided the problem of refining inefficiency brought about by his Useless Spirit Root.
Just as Wang Yu was fleeing towards Maple Province Capital, Steward Xu on the other side was suffering from severe dizziness. The potent poison of the Venomous Azure Snake Thread Gu had been dealt with by him sacrificing an arm.
However, the Core Formation strike that followed caused him to be inflicted with a lesser grade of Venomous Azure Snake Toxin all over his body. This toxin corroded bones and spirits, not only making it difficult for the injuries all over his body to heal, but even suppressing his liquid True Essence.
His Sea of Qi was empty, with only two or three drops of True Essence remaining. No matter how frantically he circulated his Cultivation Art, he could not absorb any Spirit Qi from the outside world, as if the boundless water had lost its source.
The only thing fortunate was that he could still get help from Elixir Pills. He consumed many Second Rank Spirit Pills that he had saved for his own use, temporarily suppressing the further deterioration of his injuries.
However, the skin and flesh on his body were still festering and turning green, oozing yellow pus, looking like he was about to die at any moment, constantly reminding him that he must find a place to enter secluded cultivation and heal as soon as possible.
Otherwise, he would surely die!
Being attacked like this by Liu Jinxian, his mentality completely exploded. The hatred for his daughter was even thrown to the Back of Mind, as fleeing for life was now the most important thing.
Who knew if the girl chasing after him had another trump card of the same kind? He didn't dare to gamble!
While considering this, Steward Xu rapidly regained his composure.
The matter at hand, in the beginning, should still be attributed to Grandfather and Grandson Zhu from Xu Family Pill Shop. These two offended a True Lineage Disciple of Evil God Peak and, under someone else's guidance, targeted him, ultimately embezzling more than ten thousand Spirit Stones from the Elixir Shop.
Firstly, it was because he was a commoner, without any backing, and also a Second Rank Alchemist, making him a wealthy target, a perfect fat sheep to be slaughtered.
Secondly, Grandfather and Grandson Zhu wanted to use Spirit Stones to atone for their sins and chose Xu Family Pill Shop. In fact, this was implied by a certain Disciple Under True Inheritor's Command of Evil God Peak.
The whole thing was a trap from the start.
As a result, Wang Yu jumped out halfway, not only exposing the Evil God Peak True Disciple's scheme, but also attracting a new hungry wolf!
Elder Zhuo of the Law Enforcement Hall was born into a Great Clan, a Famous Figure of the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect. His clan behind him had a Nascent Soul Ancestor overseeing it, while Evil God Peak had long since declined to the bottom ranks. For a dignified Peak's True Disciple to covet his mere tens of thousands of Spirit Stones was truly beneath them.
But no matter the outcome, it was he, Xu, who was being slaughtered.
Subsequently, he was imprisoned in the Dungeon and had no choice but to find a method to satisfy Elder Zhuo and the Evil God Peak True Disciple, practically selling everything he owned and still incurring a mountain of debt before he was barely released.
The foundation he had accumulated over many years was now reduced to a few Spirit Pills at the bottom of his chest and a few Magic Artifacts. Even Second Rank Talismans were completely emptied.
After coming out, he learned of his daughter's death, and it was still Wang Yu's name involved. Therefore, he completely went mad!
After going through everything from beginning to end.
Steward Xu's eyes regained clarity. He turned his head slightly to look at the figure pursuing relentlessly from behind and muttered to himself:
"There is no turning back after releasing the arrow. Although I was wrong first, such a vindictive temperament almost determines the ending..."
Apologize? Judging by this posture, it would be strange if it were useful!
Compensation? His wealth has been eaten clean by two hyenas, leaving only a wretched life, he can't afford to compensate at all.
His only remaining left hand formed a Sword Finger and tapped several times on the Major Acupoint positions of his body, temporarily stabilizing his condition with a Secret Technique attached to his Cultivation Art, and then swallowed several Spirit Pills to restore True Essence.
Unnoticeably, his speed slowed down a bit.
Maintaining a node where Liu Jinxian could see him but not catch up, slowing down when he was far away, and accelerating when he was close, like a living bait attracting the other party to continuously go deeper.
Delaying Time, waiting for his empty Sea of Qi to gradually recover.
He already had nothing left, so what did he fear from some Core Formation backing? The few Xu Clan members left in the Sect were just blood-sucking worms attached to him.
Without his daughter, without his wealth, and burdened with a mountain of bad debt.
He dared to do anything!
Including—killing Liu Jinxian!!
He scouted the Direction and flew head-on towards the location of Maple Province Capital.
Liu Jinxian, who was chasing closely behind, naturally noticed the other party's abnormality. Originally, she was still a little apprehensive, worried about whether the other party was deliberately fishing.
But after noticing the anomaly in Direction, she naturally thought that the other party was afraid: "Want to go to the Capital City, thinking that under the public gaze, I wouldn't dare to kill you?!—Courting death!"
A moment later, the speed of the Pavilion Flying Magic Item she controlled increased again.
......
......
Those running on the ground were naturally not as fast as those flying in the sky, let alone a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, and especially a second-generation Cultivator relying on the convenience of a Magic Artifact.
Relying solely on two legs, even though Wang Yu had set off early, he was quickly overtaken. Noticing the anomaly in the sky, he could only find a place under a Giant Rock.
Using the Shadow in combination with the Night Concealment Spell, he hid himself airtightly, somewhat surprised as he looked at the two streamers of light flying across the sky.
One gray and one green, chasing each other!
Like a race.
But the obvious appearance of being injured made Wang Yu's heart stir. He believed that his Divine Power Corpse Arm was brave and unparalleled, coupled with various Perfected Techniques, making him unmatched in the Qi Condensation Stage.
He had also seen Steward Xu's battle with the Bone Lion King, and he couldn't help but develop a murderous intent.
The only concern was his Foundation Establishment Cultivation Realm.
Although he didn't know why Liu Jinxian had made him like this, it was indeed an Opportunity to eliminate Hatred. The other party had come from thousands of miles away to find him, which showed the Importance of the matter!
If he missed this Opportunity, he would have to hide his head and show his tail for many years before he had the ability to solve the problem Post-Foundation Establishment.
"Opportunity knocks but once."
Anyway, with Liu Jinxian standing in front, what did he have to fear? If he could really solve this big trouble, he wouldn't have to go to the unfamiliar Maple Province Capital to muddle through life.
Safely and steadily completing the Mysterious Bone Mountain Mission and returning to the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect was the right path.
"Let's do it!"
Having Made Up One's Mind, Wang Yu Hastily Pursued. He felt that Liu Jinxian, as the Core Formation daughter, must have trump cards that surpassed her Cultivation Realm.
As long as he could kill Steward Xu, even without any Spoils, he would be Perfectly Satisfied.
However.
Two hours later.
Wang Yu completely lost track of the escape and kill team, and could only Pursue forward by following the Aura left by Liu Jinxian.
