Capítulo 21: Being Heavily Injured
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Bai Ci'er's beautiful eyes flickered. She felt that Cheng Xu was full of mysteries and could not be fathomed.
"So Junior Brother Cheng also knows about formations?"
"I'm just guessing, it's not worth mentioning" ~ Not worth mentioning ~! Cheng Xu pretended to be humble.
"It would be great if Junior Brother Cheng was still in our Yunzhong sect."
Bai CI'er sighed softly and turned to look at Hu Jiaojiao. She was secretly helpless.
She then looked at the disciples of the Godly Luo Palace who were completely immersed in the study of the Minor Armor-removal array.
Before they knew it, the ship had already reached the border of Heluo.
The elder in charge of controlling the ship turned around and reminded, "The teams that are on a mission around Heluo can leave now."
As he spoke, he controlled the treasured ship to slowly lower its altitude.
When they were only a few dozen meters away from the ground, several teams jumped down one after another. Cheng Xu and Miao Changsheng's team were among them.
Not long after landing, Miao Changsheng set off with his team, heading in the opposite direction of Cheng Xu's team.
"Alright, let's go!" Wang Xiaolun opened the map and glanced at it. He said excitedly, "Our goal is to explore all the strongholds of the diabolism in the Heluo Kingdom, and then destroy them."
"Let's find a town to settle down in first." Cheng Xu turned around and looked at the three of them.
The three of them expressed their agreement and began to move towards the nearest town on the map.
Only Wang Xiaolun was left in a mess. He sneered secretly, "Hmph, you'll know how important I am when you're in danger!"
After he finished speaking, he eagerly followed behind.
The Heluo Kingdom was the largest secular country in the northern part of the mini Southern heaven. There were many independent cultivators and small sects scattered in the kingdom. It was said that the royal family of the Heluo Kingdom had close contact with immortal cultivators.
Half a day later, the group successfully arrived at this town called Scholartree city(Huai city).
There was a huge Locust tree in the city, and that was how the town got its name.
Walking on the main street of Huai city, as far as the eye could see, the traffic was heavy, and the residents were living a happy life. It didn't look like there was any Devil Dao activity in there at all.
"Fine, it seems like we won't be able to find any useful clues here. Why don't we find a place to eat and drink first, and then head to the next town?" Wang Xiaolun said with waning interest.
"I think it's better to investigate all the places in the city." Cheng Xu suggested.
"I agree." Bai CI'er and the other two agreed.
"Let's split up. We'll meet up at the large Pagoda tree after we're done."
Just like that, the four of them went in different directions one after another, leaving Wang Xiaolun, the Captain, standing stupidly on the street.
"Damn it!"
He was clearly the team leader, but his team members seemed to be following Cheng Xu's orders, which made him very unhappy.
The more Wang Xiaolun thought about it, the angrier he got. He was thinking about finding an opportunity to teach Cheng Xu a lesson and let him know who the real core of the team was.
..
Cheng Xu was walking alone on the streets of the eastern part of the city, paying attention to everybody's every move.
However, he did not find anything unusual until night fell.
Helplessly, he could only return to the large Pagoda tree in the center of the city to meet up with everyone.
"Help! Help."
When he was not far from the large Pagoda tree, he suddenly heard a series of weak cries for help. After listening carefully, it turned out to be Wang Xiaolun's voice.
Cheng Xu's entire body tensed up in an instant. Under the cover of the night, he carefully fumbled his way to the big Pagoda tree.
The Locust tree had lush branches and leaves, and was at least as thick as five or six people's arms. A circle of stone altars was built around the Locust tree, on which all kinds of food were placed.
And his brilliant Captain, Wang Xiaolun, was now tied up like a dumpling by its vines, hanging upside down on the branches, wailing weakly.
"?!"
Cheng Xu was secretly shocked. He tried to use his divine sense to probe the big Locust tree, but it was blocked by an invisible force.
Even if one used their toes to think, they would know that this Locust tree had probably become a spirit.
And its strength was far above theirs.
He didn't expect to encounter a Demon before he could find any traces of the Demonic path.
Cheng Xu pondered for a moment, and his eyes gradually turned into two deep black holes blending in the night. He decided to try using the Evil eyes of ten thousand Arts.
As it turned out, the Evil eye of ten thousand Arts was still very powerful.
At the same time as he saw through the Demon aura on the big Locust tree, he successfully read the tree demon's data.
[Locust Tree demon]
[Cultivation: Peak of the Foundation Building Realm]
[Cultivation Technique: < Grass and Wood Spirit >]
..
Good Lord, it's actually a Demon cultivator at the Peak of the Foundation Building stage. No wonder Wang Xiaolun was tied up.
The so-called Demonic cultivators are referred to those demons who restrained their nature and pursued the immortal path. Except that they were not human, they were no different from human cultivators in all other aspects. After cultivating to a certain level, they could transform into humans.
As for those demons who let their nature take a shortcut, they were called Demonic beasts. Although they could also transform into human form after cultivating to a certain extent, they could only transform into a half-human, half-demon appearance at most.
In general, it was definitely better to encounter a Demonic cultivator than a Demonic beast.
This was also the main reason why Cheng Xu did not immediately run away.
At least, seeing from Wang Xiaolun's situation, this Locust tree Demon should not have any ill intentions, or else Wang Xiaolun would have died long ago.
"I didn't know that Senior was cultivating here. I'm sorry for offending you." Cheng Xu saluted the huge Pagoda tree from far away.
"Little fellow, you do know some manners."
A slightly aged voice came from the large Pagoda tree.
At the same time, Bai CI'er and the other two people also came over one after another. After seeing Wang Xiaolun's condition, they were all shocked.
"What's the situation?" Han Yue asked nervously.
"It seems to be a Demon cultivator Senior," Cheng Xu explained, "But I don't think he has any ill intentions."
The Locust tree spoke again "This brat doesn't know any manners. He came up and ruined the food that the mortals offered to me. I've punished him. Since you're here, I'll hand him over to you."
The vines around Wang Xiaolun unwrapped and threw him in front of everyone.
"Leave quickly and don't disturb my cultivation."
Cheng Xu and others looked at each other in shock, somewhat dumbfounded.
Wang Xiaolun stood up with his face covered in dust and embarrassedly cupped his fists at the big Pagoda tree and apologized, "I've offended you! I've offended you!"
Seeing that the big Locust tree was too lazy to respond to him, Wang Xiaolun hurriedly gestured for everyone to retreat. "Why are you still standing there? Let's go!"
However, Cheng Xu and the other three remained unmoved, and looked at the big Locust tree thoughtfully.
"May I ask if Senior has seen any traces of Devil path cultivators?" Cheng Xu asked respectfully.
"A Demonic cultivator?" "You're here to investigate the recent Demonic cultivators?" The Scholar tree seemed a little surprised.
"That's right."
"There are indeed Demonic activities in Heluo, but what does it have to do with me?" The will of the giant Locust tree teased. "We Yao cultivators are too lazy to get involved in the dispute between good and evil."
Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up. It was better to have some clues than nothing.
"I wonder if Senior can reveal some clues?" Cheng Xu asked tentatively.
"I've already said that I don't want to get involved in your human affairs."
".."Cheng Xu and the others looked at each other and frowned in confusion."Senior, aren't you afraid of the Devil path threatening you?"
"If they dare to come, this old master will naturally drive them away." The large Locust tree seemed to be very confident in his own strength.
"What if it's a fiendish cultivator more powerful than you?"
"If there were any golden core Demonic cultivators in the vicinity, I wouldn't have stayed here," the large Locust tree chuckled.
Cheng Xu and the others looked at each other, speechless.
He felt that this Locust tree demon was a little stubborn.
However, from the information disclosed by the Locust tree demon, there shouldn't be any Golden core Demonic cultivators in the Heluo Kingdom.
Seeing that the Locust tree demon was not willing to get involved in the dispute between the righteous and demonic paths, Cheng Xu and the others could only leave helplessly and think of a way on their own.
However, before they could walk out of Huai city, a change suddenly struck.
The large Locust tree seemed to have sensed something in its silence, and its branches and leaves suddenly trembled violently."Not good-!"
Cheng Xu turned around and looked at the big Pagoda tree in surprise. Before they could ask, the night sky was dyed a fiery red.
Just like the scene on Grand Cloud mountain, the entire Huai city was shrouded in a formation in an instant.
"Hehehe, old Huai tree, weren't you very arrogant earlier? I'd like to see how much longer you can be arrogant this time." The Demonic Dao cultivator's maniacal laughter came from the sky."I'll definitely turn you into charcoal today!"
In an instant, the entire Huai city was ablaze, and in the blink of an eye, it had turned into a sea of fire.
The city echoed with the panicked screams of the mortals.
Cheng Xu and the others had never seen such a brutal scene before. They were all dumbfounded, their faces pale.
"Detestable Devil cultivator, I'll fight you to the death-!"
The pagoda tree roared in anger, and an emerald green light quickly spread throughout the entire city. Vines broke through the ground and rose from all over the city, starting to attack the surrounding formations.
However, the Devil Dao had clearly come prepared. The terrifying purgatory formation restrained the large Locust tree.
'Fine ~ there's no need to look anymore. The fiendish cultivator is directly riding on my face!' Cheng Xu smiled bitterly. "Let's think of a way to break the formation. Otherwise, we'll all die!"
Yue Yang shook his head in despair. "This purgatory formation is a third-tier formation. It's not easy to break it from the inside."
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The pagoda tree was still madly attacking the formation's light layer, and its branches and leaves were already on fire.
At the same time, the temperature inside the array was also rising continuously.
Fortunately, Yue Yang took out a set of formation disks in time and set up a layer of defensive formation around them, which barely allowed everyone to withstand the high temperature.
"Damn it, isn't your Divine Hall very powerful?" Wang Xiaolun's face was twisted as he complained, "You can't even break a formation?"
"Tier 3 grand array! If you can do it, then go ahead!" Yue Yang said unhappily.
"The demonic cultivator outside is at least in the Late-stage of the Foundation Establishment realm." Han Yue sighed in despair. "Even if we can break the formation, I'm afraid we won't be able to escape."
"Then what should we do? We can't just wait for death, can we?" Wang Xiaolun was going crazy.
Although Bai CI'er was scared out of her wits, her mind was still clear. "If we can help the Senior Locust tree win this battle, we might still have a chance!"
"Yes, there's still that old tree!"
Wang Xiaolun's eyes lit up, as if he had found a life-saving straw.
As he spoke, he hurriedly flew towards the trunk of the Pagoda tree, helping the Pagoda tree block the flames of the purgatory formation.
"I have a fire repelling talisman!"
Han Yue's hope was reignited. She immediately took out a few fire repelling talismans and attached them to various parts of the Pagoda tree.
Unfortunately, the Pagoda tree was simply too large, so Han Yue's fire repelling talisman could only protect a few key parts of the tree.
