Chapter 419: Punishment
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
A very inconspicuous blood-red seed secretly climbed up the cliff.
In a corner that no one noticed, it slowly climbed up to a high point. In the middle of the valley, Fang Qianyuan and w.a.n.g Qiushan stared at each other angrily.
Not far from the two of them, w.a.n.g Shaoyuan and Fang Dawen were sitting on the mountaintop. There was still blood at the corner of their mouths and their faces were pale. The two of them had their eyes closed and were digesting the medicinal effect of the pill.
The battle just now had injured these people.
Especially when they were chasing after each other. In order to protect their young master and young lady, they did not care about the price and had many hidden injuries on their bodies.
“Fang Qianyuan!” w.a.n.g Qiushan’s eyes were bloodshot as he stared coldly at Fang Qianyuan. “Our two families have never had any grudges. We partic.i.p.ated in this auction with our own abilities, but the three of you insisted on forcing us and even made false accusations!”
“I made false accusations?”
Fang Qianyuan suddenly raised his left hand. A b.l.o.o.d.y head hung on his hand. It was Zhui Hun.
Zhui Hun’s mouth was still fluttering slightly. It seemed like he was not completely dead.
Fang Qianyuan took out the disc again. There was a pure white dot on it. The dot was at their feet, but the light here was already very dim and blurry.
Fang Qianyuan saw that the small light on the disc was actually so dim. In his anger, he suddenly exerted strength in his left hand. A powerful vibration spread down, and the already b.l.o.o.d.y head below instantly exploded into a b.l.o.o.d.y mist that scattered down.
The blood rain and minced meat fell into the plants below, causing the strange-looking plants below to fight for them.
The originally bright plants became even more crystalline after swallowing the power-filled blood.
Their waists swayed gently, as if they were not satisfied. They grew taller towards the sky, as if they were asking for the next feast.
In the domain s.p.a.ce.
Li Yuanqing looked at the scenes in the valley through the seeds of the Blood Vine and rubbed his chin, thinking about how he should go back later.
He had been out for long enough. He had originally wanted to sell the things and prepare some materials he needed to return to the medicinal garden. But who would have thought that such an episode would happen? Moreover, he had been delayed for so long. It seemed like there was no way to escape for the time being.
The two fellows in this scene each had their own methods. Although Fang Qianyuan was a little old, his strength was strong. Even though his strength might be damaged after a long battle, this old man was still a peak Martial Saint.
Killing two Martial Saint Realm juniors was like cutting vegetables for him. How could he survive if he fell into his hands with his cultivation?
As a high-level alchemist, w.a.n.g Qiushan had endless treasures in his hands. Every time Fang Qianyuan approached him and was about to gain the upper hand, w.a.n.g Qiushan would always take out two treasures to escape.
w.a.n.g Susu’s mouth was sealed by energy and she could not make a sound. She could only widen her watery eyes and observe her surroundings.
Li Yuanqing’s domain s.p.a.ce was so huge that she could not see the end of it. It was like a completely small world. Moreover, there were many types of plants and all kinds of animals. It was really a self-sufficient small world.
In addition, the mountain of snacks was placed aside like trash and was not taken seriously at all.
Only a corner of the area behind the spirit stone mountain was revealed, but the things revealed were all abnormally precious.
Li Yuanqing looked at w.a.n.g Susu. This eldest miss seemed to be able to help him escape, but how he should use her was troublesome.
w.a.n.g Susu seemed to have noticed Li Yuanqing’s gaze. In addition, she could guess what Li Yuanqing was thinking.
“Um…”
w.a.n.g Susu twisted her waist and winked at Li Yuanqing.
Li Yuanqing examined her for a while and suddenly swung his hand to undo the seal on her mouth.
“Let’s be clear. I don’t like to hear nonsense.”
w.a.n.g Susu waited for Li Yuanqing to stop before saying excitedly, “Where’s Fang Zhou? Why are you here?”
“What’s it to you?”
w.a.n.g Susu looked at Li Yuanqing in disbelief. “I didn’t expect you to be able to kill that idiot. How stupid is that guy?”
Li Yuanqing’s face twitched slightly. This woman’s words were too vicious.
He raised his hand to w.a.n.g Susu’s mouth.
Seeing that her lips were about to be sealed again, w.a.n.g Susu hurriedly raised her hand to interrupt.
“Brother! Young Hero! I have nothing to say. Don’t keep blocking my mouth!”
“I don’t think you can say anything useful. Just stay here obediently.” Li Yuanqing looked at w.a.n.g Qiushan in the image. “I think your Cloud Sky Sect has a pretty strong foundation to be able to raise such a powerful alchemist. They must be willing to spend a huge sum of money to save their sect’s young lady, right?”
Li Yuanqing originally wanted to use this to scare w.a.n.g Susu, but reality was indeed useless.
When w.a.n.g Susu heard his words, she was a little nervous at first, but on second thought, she laughed out loud.
“What are you laughing at?”
“Young hero, you don’t seem to have figured out your situation.”
“What’s wrong with my situation? I think your situation is more dangerous.”
“If you’re willing, you can kill me at any time.” She paused and continued, “However, if that’s the case, you will offend the Cloud Sky Sect and Fang North Mountain at the same time.”
Li Yuanqing sized up w.a.n.g Susu. This Miss w.a.n.g was smart. At first, she was a little fl.u.s.tered, but now, she has completely recovered.
Before w.a.n.g Susu could finish speaking, she felt as if she had grasped Li Yuanqing’s lifeline. She said proudly, “Young Hero, you’ve just carried a murder case on your back and are already Fang North Mountain’s number one enemy. I’m afraid you’re not willing to have such a large sect chasing you all day long.”
Li Yuanqing nodded slightly and placed his hand on w.a.n.g Susu’s mouth.
“Miss w.a.n.g, you have a point, but it’s useless to me.”
w.a.n.g Susu was showing off proudly just now, but she did not expect Li Yuanqing to be so stubborn. She had just said a few words when he was about to fall out with her. She said anxiously, “I have a way out later!”
Li Yuanqing’s hand slid halfway and stopped in the middle of w.a.n.g Susu’s lips.
“Miss w.a.n.g, I hope I heard a useful answer this time, not useless nonsense.”
“Is this the Phoenix Cry Valley?”
“That’s right, I think so.”
“The Phoenix Cry Valley is the cultivation ground of one of my uncles.”
“I didn’t feel any aura when I came in just now. It doesn’t look like anyone is here.”
Li Yuanqing pointed at the two people in the sky.
If this place really had an owner, how could they tolerate others causing such a ruckus?
w.a.n.g Susu explained, “My uncle has always liked to travel around. This Phoenix Valley is a cultivation ground that my father specially gave to my uncle. Because my uncle likes peace and quiet, he chose this place that is slightly further away from the sect.”
“You mean that someone from your sect will be able to rush over to support us soon?”
“Not really.”
w.a.n.g Susu was afraid that Li Yuanqing would silence her again, so she hurriedly said.
“However, there’s a small teleportation array in the Phoenix Cry Valley that can directly reach the periphery of the sect. As long as we get there, we’ll be safe.”
“Oh?”
Li Yuanqing frowned. This was a good idea.
Originally, he had thought that if he really could not get out, he would hide here forever. Although he did not know why he was chased here, he had a domain s.p.a.ce to hide in, so his life was not in danger.
However, it would be difficult to explain to the sect if he did not return for a long time. It would be troublesome if he lost such a good job.
Seeing that there was a chance, w.a.n.g Susu immediately brought out a map.
A three-dimensional terrain map appeared in front of them. w.a.n.g Susu fiddled with it for a while and finally arranged all the locations.
“Young Hero, look. This is the entire Phoenix Cry Valley. Where are the two of us now?”
Li Yuanqing nodded at the valley on the east.
In a very remote corner of the valley, a yellow spot flickered gently.
“This is where the teleportation array is. As long as you can bring me here, I have a way to activate the array and bring us out of here.”
While the two of us were talking, the two people in the image suddenly started fighting.
Fang Qianyuan held the long saber in his hand and summoned a huge Dharma Idol that was ten thousand feet tall behind him. He waved it and charged at w.a.n.g Qiushan with a huge pressure.
w.a.n.g Qiushan was not easy to deal with either. Two golden puppets appeared in front of him. These two fellows suddenly grew thousands of feet tall.
The two golden-armored guards rushed forward fearlessly. They raised their spears from the left and right and formed a shelf to forcefully withstand the long saber of the huge Dharma Idol.
The two of them collided and caused an explosion. The aftershock spread out, blowing all the plants on the mountaintop back.
The violent collision caused the entire scene to tremble violently. The blood vine seed seemed to be unable to withstand it.
The two sides seemed to be in a stalemate just like that. However, just as w.a.n.g Qiushan relaxed, the golden Dharma Idol suddenly stretched out an arm from behind. It held a golden sword in its hand and stabbed at the head of the golden-armored guard on the right.
w.a.n.g Qiushan was shocked when he saw this. His two treasures were already very powerful and he had high hopes for them. He thought that he could resist them, but who knew that Fang Qianyuan would ignore his life?
The moment the golden Dharma Idol stretched out its arm, Fang Qianyuan’s face flushed red. He seemed to be holding back blood and was about to vomit.
w.a.n.g Qiushan did not dare to be careless. He hurriedly stretched out his hand and took out a short dagger to cut his palm.
Blood spewed out and splattered on the golden-armored guard.
The bodies of the two golden-armored guards were suddenly dyed red, and they began to tremble violently.
When Fang Qianyuan saw this, his pupils suddenly constricted. He immediately stopped attacking.
He let the golden Dharma Idol block in front while he flew back, as if he had discovered something very terrifying. He wished he could abandon everything and escape.
However, it was already too late when he retreated.
Just as the two golden-armored guards were about to be stabbed by the sword, they suddenly exploded. With the two of them as the center, it rushed towards Fang Qianyuan at a fan-shaped angle.
The aftermath of the explosion was mixed with countless fragments that kept hitting Fang Qianyuan’s shield.
Fang Qianyuan risked his life and poured all his strength into the turtle sh.e.l.l behind him, trying to block the impact. However, the energy wave produced by the explosion still swallowed him.
At the bottom of the valley.
The man and woman slowly felt their way along the wall at the bottom of the valley. They took advantage of the intense collision just now and ran forward for a distance. Soon, they would approach their destination.
At this moment, an intense collision happened above. The strong explosion forced them to stop in their tracks and summon their shields. They turned into two golden b.a.l.l.s and stuck in the corner below.
“How far is it?”
Li Yuanqing was holding a chain that was burning with flames in his hand and the other end was tied to w.a.n.g Susu’s waist.
w.a.n.g Susu pointed at a small door covered in dense plants in the distance.
“It’s there.”
Li Yuanqing looked in the direction of the small door and moved his feet, bringing w.a.n.g Susu to the periphery.
w.a.n.g Susu carefully stopped and said in a panic, “Young Hero, you have to take it easy. There are traps everywhere here. If it touches you, neither of us will be able to escape.”
Li Yuanqing did not look at it. He only placed his gaze on the dusty door. It had not been open for a long time.
He naturally would not tell w.a.n.g Susu that he was also a true array formation master. After so long, he had already figured out the pattern of the array formation in front of him, so he dared to instantly close the distance.
“Are you sure there’s a teleportation array here?”
“Of course.”
w.a.n.g Susu walked to the door and pressed a hand on the stone door.
At this moment, another powerful aftershock suddenly came from the sky.
The flames that had devoured Fang Qianyuan had already formed a fireball and forcefully contracted. Every time it contracted, it would emit an energy fluctuation, and the power inside was even more condensed.
w.a.n.g Qiushan actually wanted to forcefully refine Fang Qianyuan.
“Master, kill him!”
Seeing that the situation was great, w.a.n.g Susu was no longer anxious and subconsciously exclaimed.
w.a.n.g Qiushan’s ears twitched and he suddenly looked down. He instantly noticed w.a.n.g Susu and the others below.
“Miss, why are you here? Who is that person?”
Li Yuanqing pressed w.a.n.g Susu’s shoulder. “Open it quickly!”
“Junior, stop!”
