Anyone who wasn't blind could see at this mont that the leader of the Changchun Society was targeting that plump little creature.
From a distance, the perception was not clear.
Now, at close range, Tao Qian's nostrils twitched slightly; he imdiately slled an unusual fragrance and couldn't help but feel a possessive desire towards that jelly-like little being.
More accurately, it was a desire to devour, just like a gourt seeing his most coveted delicacy and wanting to swallow it imdiately.
Suddenly, Tao Qian seed to think of sothing, his eyes widened slightly, and corresponding guesses erged in his mind.
Just then, Lin Xiaohua's voice transmission entered Tao Qian's ears.
"Brother Tao, Little Age is a supernatural elf transford from the 'Taisui,' though it has suffered many hardships and faced a miserable fate, its nature has never changed; it's innocent and extrely kind."
"This ti I brought it here because I heard that Seeking Immortal County was suffering from the Human-faced Worm Disaster, and Little Age's flesh can resolve this calamity; it's also willing to give so of its Essence Blood."
"But we must not let it fall into the hands of these deceivers; their elixir charms not only fail to resolve the Human-faced Worm but instead deplete the user's life Essence Qi, a group of bastards who should not be allowed to capture Little Age or it will surely lose its life."
Hearing this, Tao Qian sighed internally.
Considering the ruthless and cruel deanor of the Changchun Society's leader, if he really captured this supernatural creature, it would indeed be as Lin Xiaohua described; not a good outco.
It would be a disaster for the creature called "Little Age" and for nearly a hundred thousand people in Seeking Immortal County as well; the Changchun Society would not likely use the captured spiritual creature to save people.
In the blink of an eye, Tao Qian made a decision.
At such a mont, he had no ti to think further.
He was about to stimulate the "Sacrificial Sword Intent" brewing within him and, regardless of whether he could slay this villain, he would first use the Nascent Soul Escaping Skill to take Lin Xiaohua and the other two away.
Tao Qian was decisively determined, without a hint of delay.
Unfortunately, Lin Xiaohua's voice transmission was noticed by the leader. Although he couldn't hear the specific content, this fellow was entirely clever, not arrogant or conceited. He transferred the cost of casting when possible and imdiately used another tactic upon sensing the threat within the seemingly frail scholar's body.
Suddenly, the ruffian reached into his robes and pulled out a horn made from the bone of so devil beast.
Without any delay, he blew it.
It sounded as though it ca from a battlefield, wild and piercing, resounding throughout Seeking Immortal County.
Whether it was the nearby Star-picking Pavilion or the area outside the city where the Demon Suppression Army was stationed, both showed signs of activity because of this sound.
Tao Qian's face changed drastically, but the leader still stared at the four of them, his eyes bloodier by the second, directing other Changchun Society cultivators to encircle them, while he rasped:
"I, from Changchun Society, follow the court's decree, assisting the Forbidden Immortal Hall and the Demon Suppression Army in managing the order in Seeking Immortal County."
"To protect the region and ensure the safety of its people; how can we allow devil spies like you to escape into the city?"
"In a short ti, experts from the Forbidden Immortal Hall will arrive, and if you're brave enough, you can make your move now."
Saying this, the leader let out a grim laugh and slowly retreated behind his subordinates.
Indeed, a person who could lead a group of low-class cultivators was cunning and shaless, which made Tao Qian almost laugh out of anger.
How dare such an organization involved in selling fake elixirs and fake charms while profiteering claim to protect the region and ensure its safety?
But the bone horn and the activities of the Star-picking Pavilion and the Demon Suppression Army confird he wasn't lying.
This organization indeed had official backing, capable of mobilizing resources to overwhelm individuals like Tao Qian and Lin Xiaohua, who lacked support.
Lin Xiaohua, for so reason, was not in the right state.
And Tao Qian, rely a Loose Cultivator in the Energy-Introducing Realm Fetus Formation Stage, though confident in using a "Sacrificial Sword Intent" to slash uncertain life and death of that fellow.
But what then?
Once the people from Star-picking Pavilion and the Demon Suppression Army appeared, would they allow them to argue their case?
By then, they would likely be beyond help, with a tragic end.
These many complex thoughts flashed instantaneously through Tao Qian's mind.
Similarly, a new inspired decision erged at that mont, firmly occupying Tao Qian's spirit.
Knowing that in tis like these, indecision was not an option.
Tao Qian narrowed his eyes and took a deep look at the hiding Changchun Society leader, then suddenly, his figure abruptly moved, throwing down Lin Xiaohua and the two little things, he actively leaped toward the onlooking crowd.
This act, this motion, was much like that of a person admitting defeat and fleeing.
The watching cultivators and those from the Changchun Society instinctively thought so.
Only the leader hesitated, his poison-filled eyes showing a hint of confusion.
Until he saw Tao Qian leap into the crowd and did not stop but continued flying towards the front of the square and a massive stone archway, did he suddenly realize.
"Bad, stop him."
Despite his realization, it was too late to stop him.
Within the towering Star-Picking Pavilion, as several beams of sword light shot out, Tao Qian's figure had already appeared in front of two bounties, first reaching out to remove the copper token from the first bounty, then, on second thought, taking the second copper token as well.
Even Tao Qian himself hadn't expected that this second copper token would cause such a great commotion.
There seed to be so sort of prohibition on it.
The mont he removed the copper token, Tao Qian felt as if the heavens and earth trembled before his eyes; an extrely terrifying gaze, from a distant region, suddenly locked onto him.
At the sa ti, the leader of the Changchun Society beca agitated.
He first greeted the young cultivators of high cultivation realm flying out from the Star-Picking Pavilion with a bow, but did not seek their help. Instead, he turned to face a troop of soldiers.
Nearly a hundred n, all clad in nacing black armor, revealing only their eyes, with golden runes inscribed all over it, emitting a ferocious and extre aura, especially when they stood together, exuding a terrifying presence that seed to deter both gods and ghosts.
The leader of the Changchun Society seed quite familiar with the leader among the soldiers, approaching him imdiately for help, "General Lian, quickly, these people have sneaked into the city as demon spies. I have confird this through a secret technique bestowed from above. Capture them quickly and throw them into the Forbidden Immortal Prison. There will surely be rewards from above."
It was unknown what the connection was between the leader and the young general, but after hearing a few words, he believed without a doubt.
Nodding his head, he waved to the n behind him; then all these nearly hundred n stood firm, forming a special array with a pitch-black spear in hand, and then launched an attack toward Lin Xiaohua and her two companions.
Boom!
A terrifying scene ca into existence without any warning. The armor of each soldier brightened with golden light, then gathered together to form a gigantic shadow of a spear, made purely from black-golden light, imdiately causing the street beneath their feet and the buildings on both sides to crumble as though made of tofu under its horrific suppressive power.
The horrifying aura of slaughter contained within turned the complexions of the Loose Cultivators deathly pale, causing them to retreat continually. Those who were too slow knelt on the ground with thuds.
Seeing that the three were in peril, Tao Qian's expression hardened, and his figure suddenly transford into a Spirit Infant, appearing in front of Lin Xiaohua and the others, accompanied by a fragrant scent.
In his hand, a naless longsword imdiately t the black-gold spear with a strike.
"Sacrifice!"
In an instant, almost ninety percent of the Spirit Treasure Source Qi in Tao Qian's body was emptied by so force.
Before Tao Qian could feel the weakness, an extrely terrifying sword light burst forth violently, resembling a polar light that could extend indefinitely, carrying an unstoppable and destructive killing intent. It first destroyed the longsword in Tao Qian's hand, and then shattered the frightening black-gold spear into a myriad of light spots.
Along the way, the Loose Cultivators from Changchun Society and the nearly one hundred soldiers from the Demon Suppression Army who suffered backlash were swept away like ants.
Just as the sword light was about to continue extending, clearing several streets in its path,
suddenly, within this area, a voice that could numb the soul rang out.
"Hmm?"
With this sound, the area seed frozen.
Everyone lost control of themselves, including Tao Qian and the Sacrificial Sword Intent he had released.
Flower petals with a natural fragrance scattered all around, fairy music sounded in waves, and amidst the rampant rainbow light, a figure descended that left everyone speechless.
It was hard to describe the grace and beauty of this female cultivator; everyone ignored the four maid-like fairies that stood behind her.
The female cultivator's beauty was simply akin to an immortal from heaven, her eyes filled with gentleness, wearing a gold-embroidered robe with jade fringes, extraordinarily splendid. She was much taller than an ordinary man, always seemingly surrounded by rainbow lights, her fair collarbone exposed.
Yet what was truly astonishing was the expansiveness and unimaginable softness of her bosom.
Yet not a single person produced any lewd thoughts toward her.
At first glance, this female cultivator seed almost like a "mother".
Even Tao Qian felt this way, as if he was still a child, wanting to rush into her arms.
However, Tao Qian quickly snapped out of it.
Clearly, he had fallen for a trick.
This was likely so kind of passive polluting effect, indicating a gap in cultivation realms between them that was too large to bridge.
On the other side, noticing the commotion here,
inside the Star-Picking Pavilion, hundreds of figures used various thods to fly out, originally approaching with raging montum.
But upon seeing the female cultivator, they all bowed in reverence, saying respectfully, "Greetings, Master Xiao!"
The female cultivator, referred to as Master Xiao, waved her hand to signal everyone not to be overly formal.
Then, her gaze completely focused on Tao Qian, who was now physically depleted.
She naturally stepped forward, and with a faint fragrance, Master Xiao appeared before Tao Qian.
She first glanced at Lin Xiaohua and the two little ones, seeming to see through everything with one look, a hint of surprise flashing through her eyes.
Then, she stared straight at Tao Qian, furrowing her brows before spitting out words that made Tao Qian's pupils constrict, nearly losing his composure,
"You used the Secret Demon Body Sacrifice Sword, employed the Small Innate Nascent Soul Escape Technique from my Ten Thousand Infant Sect, but cultivated the Spirit Treasure Basic thod, even the Life Seed is set... such a strange junior."
"However, since you took that copper token, you clearly know the condition of my house's Du Du?"
"Tell what you want; this True Master can satisfy your request."
