Chapter 687: Arriving Late
Only Qingliu escaped this calamity.
As fellow Xuanxian, and even more so at the tenth level of Xuanxian, Qingliu understood the situation the moment Mo Mang Xuanxian made his move. However, he neither could nor wanted to save his subordinates, because Mo Mang Xuanxian had already put pressure on him.
That brown spirit snake coiled around Wu Zhu's neck was a snake demon!
Moreover, he is also at the tenth level of the Mysterious Immortal realm!
Qingliu's face immediately turned ugly. He knew this snake was extraordinary, but he didn't expect it to be on par with his cultivation level. This was going to be difficult. His subordinates had been almost wiped out in an instant, leaving only him!
Even though everyone else had consumed the wine laced with Hunyuan Powder, and therefore couldn't muster any Dao power, making them no threat, Qingliu wasn't confident he could quickly defeat this snake.
"I knew this guy was up to no good; I could smell it."
The Desert Python Xuanxian flicked its tongue.
With those vertical pupils fixed on Qingliu, he only needed to look to understand that Qingliu was no match for him.
Even though both are at the tenth level of the Xuanxian realm, humans are definitely at a disadvantage when facing demons, not to mention that the bloodline of the Mo Mang Xuanxian comes from their tribe's Immortal Emperor Ancestor, which is a very powerful bloodline!
If he were to reveal his full physical form, he could easily crush this damned manor lord.
"Damn it, the heavens are against me!"
Qingliu is really anxious now, so anxious that Hongwen is getting anxious.
He knew that things were unlikely to end well today. If he couldn't take the four women with him, he would lose the reward from the Ancient Immortal Venerable, and offending Wu Zhu would definitely attract the Wu clan's pursuit! The best thing to do now was to run away.
If he doesn't run, and gets entangled by this snake demon, and the Wu clan sends reinforcements, he'll die on the spot!
But just as Qingliu was about to run away, Mo Mang Xuanxian revealed his true form. A sand-colored python, seven or eight zhang long, was now coiled up on the ruins of Qingliu Manor, its vertical pupils coldly looking down at Qingliu.
"Heh, trying to run away now?"
The Demon Python Immortal gave a sinister smile.
Doing something bad and then trying to run away? Where do you think you can have such a good deal?
"Damn it, you ruined my plans! Do you still want to fight me to the death?!"
Cold sweat beaded on Qingliu's forehead, but seeing that his path was blocked, he knew he wouldn't be able to escape unless he killed the snake demon.
"Fight to the death then, so what? You won't leave here alive today. If you make a move against anyone connected to Mr. Gu, I'll have to deal with you first." "Unless you cripple your cultivation and show a better attitude in admitting your mistakes, Mr. Gu might spare your life and just let you live."
Before Qingliu could even answer, the answer was clearly no.
This guy seems desperate to survive, and he has to fight tooth and nail to have any hope of escaping.
"Then let's fight!"
Qingliu revealed a ferocious and crazed expression, and the man and the snake began to fight on the ruins of Qingliu Manor. Wu Zhu also reached into his pocket and pulled out more than a dozen kinds of healing and detoxifying pills.
These elixirs all came from the "coffin money" of the Desert Python Immortal.
"We don't know what kind of poison we've been given, but it probably won't kill us. It's just affecting our minds and making it hard to concentrate our energy. Let's try these first."
Wu Zhu distributed the pills to Bai Feier and the others.
"Thank you." They quickly swallowed the pills, several kinds in a row, and they didn't know which one was effective, but at least it worked. The dizziness that made them feel like they were about to collapse gradually disappeared.
"We were too careless; we didn't realize this guy was trying to harm us."
Bai Feier said sullenly, "I almost suffered a big setback this time, but luckily I escaped unharmed."
If it weren't for this young master Wu's chance appearance, they would probably have fallen into Qingliu's hands and been sent to the Ancient Immortal Venerable.
They never expected that they would be wanted by the Ancient Immortal Venerable.
They had only been in the Lesser Xuantian Realm for less than a month, yet before they knew it, one of the strongest beings in the Lesser Xuantian Realm had set his sights on them!
The owner of Qingliu Manor must have seen the bounty notice beforehand, which is why he had such evil intentions. Now, where in this world can they go?
It's estimated that all cultivators who want to improve are now trying to capture them for the reward!
It seems it's time to return to the Xuan Tian Realm...
"what!"
A scream came from the sky.
When everyone looked up, they saw that Qingliu was tightly bound by the power of the Demon Python Immortal, blood was spilling from his mouth, and his chest was sunken, indicating that he had suffered severe internal injuries.
They fell from grace quite quickly.
Although the Demon Python Xuanxian had lost a lot of snake scales and had several wounds, in general, Qingliu didn't seem to struggle in front of him for very long before it was over.
The demon race's physical bodies are extremely strong, and Qingliu is now unable to break free. If Mo Mang Xuanxian wanted to, he could strangle Qingliu to death with his physical strength alone! And Mo Mang Xuanxian has no intention of letting Qingliu live; that's exactly what he's thinking.
"Wait for me--"
As the snake's body suddenly tightened, the manor owner was strangled until all his bones were shattered, and he died like a wild dog!
Regardless of what Qingliu might have to say, Mo Mang Xuanxian had no intention of listening.
Do it all.
The Desert Python Xuanxian transformed back into its previous petite and exquisite form, and then coiled itself around Wu Zhu's neck once more.
Qingliu's body fell into the ruins of the manor.
"It's all settled for now, ladies. Do you know where to go next?"
Wu Zhu asked a question.
"us……"
Bai Feier hesitated for a moment. Where else could they go?
With the bounty on our heads, it's practically impossible to move an inch now; we're likely to be watched wherever we go.
The only way out is to find Gu Heng as soon as possible, or wait for Gu Heng to come to them. Actually, the latter is more likely. It would be too difficult to actively find the whereabouts of a mysterious master.
"Looks like there's nowhere else to go."
Wu Zhu was somewhat troubled.
He wanted to help to the end, but then he thought that the Wu clan might make the same choice as Qingliu after seeing the bounty.
Even if it wasn't for the rewards, it was still to make a name for themselves in front of the Ancient Fallen Immortal Venerable.
Everyone is eager to improve and won't let any opportunity slip by.
But at this moment, the true dawn finally appeared before them.
Qingliu Manor is located on the mountaintop, and Gu Heng happened to walk up at this moment. He looked at this brand-new ruin and the five familiar figures standing in the ruin, and his brows twitched.
"What the hell is this?"
