Chapter 27: Divine Concealnt Talisman
"Divine Concealnt Talisman?"
Chen Qiang instantly recognized the talisman from the runes on the talisman core, and couldn't help but furrow his brows.
A Tier 1 Concealnt Talisman could only suppress a cultivator’s body odor and breathing.
But the Tier 2 Divine Concealnt Talisman not only concealed the body odor and breathing, it could also hide the cultivator’s spiritual sense and physical form!
Even for soone like him, a Tier 2 cultivator—
If he hadn't also cultivated a reconnaissance secret technique, he would find it hard to see through the Divine Concealnt Talisman's disguise!
"Hahahaha!"
Du Yifeng saw Chen Qiang frown and gleefully fanned his folding fan, laughing as he described a possible scenario to Chen Qiang, saying, "Those two poor kids just dove into the milk pool for a bath, strengthening their muscles and bones."
Just when they were enjoying themselves—
Suddenly!
At this point, Du Yifeng’s tone turned chilling, "Two flying needles suddenly appeared and pierced through their skulls!"
"……"
Chen Qiang’s expression turned grim, and he remained silent.
Seeing this, Du Yifeng grew even more brazen and continued, "Relax, Senior Brother Chen, I already instructed my disciples."
"I told them to coat the flying needles with Blue Frost Prir."
"So your disciple and your junior nephew died the mont they were struck, with little pain at all!"
Ma Zhiyuan let out a breath of relief upon hearing that Du Yifeng had left a backup plan and thought to himself: 【With this, Du Yifeng won’t go back on the benefits he promised .】
Thinking this,
Ma Zhiyuan also chuckled and congratulated Du Yifeng, saying, "Junior Brother Du handles things thoroughly—Senior Brother is impressed."
"Hahahaha, just a small matter, not worth ntioning!" Du Yifeng responded with great satisfaction.
As soon as Du Yifeng finished speaking,
His disciples activated the Divine Concealnt Talismans and vanished from sight, then used their movent techniques to rush forward...
Xu Zhengyang and Yang Hong had no idea what was happening inside the Suspended Milk Forest.
Following the map’s guidance, the two of them smoothly made their way to the depths of the Suspended Milk Forest and finally saw a pool of Heart-Spirit Nectar glowing with radiant spiritual light.
"Slls amazing!"
Yang Hong exclaid excitedly upon seeing the Heart-Spirit Nectar.
Imdiately after,
Yang Hong noticed that the amount of Heart-Spirit Nectar seeping out this year was far less than the usual mark, and he said to Xu Zhengyang with relief, "Good thing it’s just the two of us."
"Otherwise, this bit of Heart-Spirit Nectar wouldn’t be enough for three people!"
As he spoke,
Yang Hong removed the Seven Star Technique-Breaking Sword from his back and stored it in his storage pouch, then jumped into the pool fully clothed, calling out to Xu Zhengyang, "Senior Brother Xu, co on in!"
"Coming."
Xu Zhengyang replied, then took out a stack of custom-made talismans from the Jade Gourd and scattered them at the entrance of the cave.
Next,
He waved his large hand, stirring up layers of dust that gradually buried the talismans.
After finishing,
Xu Zhengyang finally ca to the edge of the milk pool and dove right in.
To be honest,
During the days they’d been out,
Even though Xu Zhengyang hadn’t stopped taking Yellow Dragon Pills, his cultivation speed had dropped at least tenfold due to his limited aptitude.
Such snail-paced cultivation
Made Xu Zhengyang, who was used to having the aid of spiritual veins, extrely anxious.
Lying in the pool, Xu Zhengyang stretched lazily with satisfaction, then said, "Now that this matter is settled, we can finally head back!"
……
At the sa ti, at the entrance of the Suspended Milk Forest.
The dicinal properties of Heart-Spirit Nectar were gentle, so a cultivator needed to soak in it for at least an hour to fully absorb its power.
Precisely because of this—
Just as Xu Zhengyang and Yang Hong were soaking in the Heart-Spirit Nectar and chatting idly,
Chen Qiang had already used the Water-Mirror Technique to see that Du Yifeng's disciples were about to reach the milk pool.
"Heh."
Du Yifeng chuckled softly and said to Chen Qiang, "Take one last look at your precious disciple and junior nephew."
"In a mont,"
"You’ll only see their corpses."
Chen Qiang remained silent upon hearing this, just as he was pondering how to explain everything to Pei Zhen once he got back...
Suddenly,
As those two passed the area where Xu Zhengyang had earlier scattered the talismans, earthen spikes shot out from beneath their feet!
"Ah—"
The young man scread in pain as he was caught off guard!
From the instep to the thigh, his right leg was completely run through by the spikes, pinning him firmly to the ground!
The young woman behind him sensed sothing was wrong and managed to retreat in ti.
Though the Earth Spike Talismans buried underground didn’t injure her, they did dispel her Divine Concealnt Talisman, revealing her form once more!
Such a dramatic reversal—
Not only Du Yifeng, even Chen Qiang was montarily confused.
【What trick did that brat play on those Earth Spike Talismans?】
【How could they activate on their own without being triggered?!】
Chen Qiang was now scratching his head in frustration.
If not for the two eyesores from Heavenly Profound Sect nearby, he would have rushed in to confront Xu Zhengyang and get to the bottom of it.
Now that the Divine Concealnt Talismans were broken—
And one of them was nailed to the ground by Earth Spike Talismans...
The two of them couldn’t even defeat Xu Zhengyang earlier, and now with only the young woman left, they stood even less of a chance!
Because of that—
Xu Zhengyang didn’t even bother to leave the Heart-Spirit Pool; the young woman was pierced through the heart by an earth spike and died on the spot!
Chen Qiang was absolutely delighted by this outco!
He turned and glanced contemptuously at the grim-faced Du Yifeng, laughing, "Seems like what my junior nephew said was right.
All those talismans you gave them were a total waste."
"Let do the math for you."
"Two stacks of Tier 1 Fireball Talismans, two Tier 2 Divine Concealnt Talismans, two Tier 2 disposable magic treasures—Substitute Vines…"
At this point,
Chen Qiang deliberately turned to Ma Zhiyuan and said, "Ah, Junior Brother Ma, you know ."
"I’ve never been good at math."
"Co help count—how many spirit stones would all that cost in total?"
"Hehe… hahaha…"
Naturally, Ma Zhiyuan wouldn’t take the bait of Chen Qiang’s words, which cut deeper than a blade; he simply laughed dryly while watching Du Yifeng.
Chen Qiang didn’t press Ma Zhiyuan any further.
He turned back and asked Du Yifeng again, "Oh right, didn’t you say before that you’d help find a feng shui treasure spot on Mysterious chanism Peak for my disciple?"
"Looking at it now, I probably won’t need to search after all."
"Just not sure if your Heavenly Profound Sect has any feng shui spots left for your disciples?"
"Intolerable bullying!"
Du Yifeng shouted angrily, about to strike.
But when he turned around, he saw Ma Zhiyuan had already quietly retreated to a position where he could escape at any mont.
"……"
Seeing this, Du Yifeng fell silent.
He knew—
He alone wasn’t a match for Chen Qiang, and Ma Zhiyuan wouldn’t risk his life for the petty benefits Du Yifeng had promised him earlier.
Realizing this,
Du Yifeng knew he had thoroughly lost face today.
So he didn’t say another word to humiliate himself and instead infused spiritual power into the sealing formation, opened the passage, and entered it.
Although Chen Qiang knew Du Yifeng was going in to collect his disciples’ corpses,
He didn’t dare gamble on whether Du Yifeng would turn hostile and attack Xu Zhengyang and Yang Hong, so Chen Qiang followed close behind and entered as well.
…
A mont later,
When Du Yifeng had gathered the corpses of his two disciples and their storage pouches, he gave Chen Qiang and Xu Zhengyang a long, deep look.
He said through gritted teeth, "Today’s disgrace will be repaid another day!"
