Chapter 143: Trickery
Chapter 143: Trickery
Hong Qing suddenly understood, if Chen Shouyi fell into his hands, would he spare him? That was impossible! After completely despairing, he couldn't help but curse out loud.
Chen Shouyi smiled faintly and without hesitation, he pressed the Soul-Locking Needle into Hong Qing's body.
In an instant, the needle moved like a living creature, directly swimming inside Hong Qing's body and entering his Dan Tian. In no time at all, Hong Qing's vitality and spirit were completely drained, and he instantly aged.
Chen Shouyi waved his hand and took out a large piece of black cloth, calmly saying, "I won't kill you for now, so be sensible and don't move or make a sound, otherwise, you'll suffer."
He wrapped Hong Qing in the black cloth and lifted him up, flying into the air.
Mi Xiaojing returned to the Gathering Spring Courtyard and didn't want to talk about the encounter just now. He just sat at the stone table in the front courtyard and couldn't help but activate the Green Wood Formation. He was contemplating that if he had the Green Wood Formation earlier, he might have completely dealt with Hong Qing.
Activating the Green Wood Formation only put it in an invisible state. Although this state also consumed a few spirit stones, the quantity was not much. Mi Xiaojing sought psychological comfort, as if by activating the Green Wood Formation, he would be completely safe.
"Old man, do I have to kill Hong Qing to solve the problem?"
"Nonsense, if you don't kill him, he will come to kill you. Do you think you can endure that?"
"Well, if it happens again, I will definitely kill him!"
"You have to take the initiative. Being passively beaten is not acceptable. With your cultivation level, as long as you use the Green Wood Formation, you can easily kill him as long as you find the right place and set up an ambush. Even if he comes from the sky, he will still be enveloped by the Green Wood Formation!"
Wang Weijun was diligently teaching Mi Xiaojing how to kill. According to his thinking, Mi Xiaojing could only affect his character and temperament by killing more cultivators. Now this child had been taught stupid by Evolutionary Immortality! Fortunately, under his guidance, the child was finally not so naive. It was also fortunate that Mi Xiaojing was still a child. If he were an adult, it would be difficult to teach him.
Fortunately, Wang Weijun knew that he couldn't escape from his current predicament for the time being. Just a ten thousand-word Mantra Banner was tormenting him to the point of collapse. He didn't know when he would have the opportunity to escape from the entanglement of the Mantra Banner, let alone when he could take over Mi Xiaojing's body. The only thing he could do was gain Mi Xiaojing's trust and let Mi Xiaojing survive.
Before obtaining Mi Xiaojing's body, if Mi Xiaojing died, then Wang Weijun would be completely finished. So helping Mi Xiaojing was helping himself. He had already figured this out. He had to teach Mi Xiaojing the necessary survival and cultivation skills. Many times, only when Mi Xiaojing was strong could he effectively protect himself.
Wang Weijun tirelessly instilled various concepts into Mi Xiaojing, all the various conspiracies and tricks of the cultivation world, so that he would have a concept in his mind that the cultivation world was definitely not a beautiful world. To survive, one had to kill, struggle, and be more cunning.
Mi Xiaojing listened in a daze. At this moment, a person walked in from the courtyard gate, holding a large black package in his hand. He came in and called out, "Is Mi Xiaojing here?"
Mi Xiaojing was surprised to find that this person was actually Chen Shouyi.
He stood up and went forward to greet him. Chen Shouyi was an elder of the Grass-Benevolence Hall and had a high status. Mi Xiaojing couldn't not welcome him when he came.
"Senior Uncle, do you have something to tell me?"
Chen Shouyi walked over and threw the package in his hand in front of Mi Xiaojing, saying, "This is for you! You can open it and take a look."
Mi Xiaojing carefully examined it. It was a black package tightly wrapped with a withered vine. The strangest thing was that the package was actually moving.
It was actually a living thing!
"What is it? Why is it moving?"
Mi Xiaojing stood still, thanks to the indoctrination of Wang Weijun's conspiracy theories just now. After careful examination, he found that there was something wrong with the withered vine, especially when it was wriggling, there was a fluctuation of spiritual power.
Chen Shouyi said gently, "You'll know when you open it."
Wang Weijun sneered, "This person has ill intentions. The withered vine on the package is a magical tool. Don't touch that thing. Once you touch it, it will entangle you!"
Upon hearing Wang Weijun's reminder, Mi Xiaojing immediately took a step back and said, "Senior Uncle, what do you mean? Is the withered vine a magical tool?"
Chen Shouyi finally realized that Mi Xiaojing was difficult to deal with. He had already understood from watching Mi Xiaojing's fight with Hong Qing that this child was very clever. Not only was his cultivation level good, but his weapon was also good. He also noticed that Mi Xiaojing still retained the battle techniques of Evolutionary Immortality and could actually use Mantra attacks.
When dealing with Mi Xiaojing, Chen Shouyi was already very cautious. His goal was the same as Hong Qing's, which was to capture the little guy and obtain Mi Xiaojing's alchemy techniques. He didn't know that Mi Xiaojing's alchemy techniques were inherited. Even if Mi Xiaojing told the truth, he wouldn't believe it.
Catch him first and then talk!Chen Shouyi never expected that Mi Xiaojing would be so vigilant, refusing to approach the bundle. When his first plan failed, he tried another, saying, "Good, good, your vigilance is commendable. But you don't need to be so wary of me, haha, look." As he spoke, he gestured with his hand, and the vines binding the bundle suddenly loosened.
The bundle rolled a few times, revealing the person inside.
Mi Xiaojing exclaimed, "It's Hong Qing! You..."
Upon seeing Mi Xiaojing, Hong Qing suddenly shouted, "Watch out, he's after you!" It wasn't that Hong Qing was particularly kind-hearted, but rather that he wanted to stir up trouble. Regardless of whether Chen Shouyi's intentions towards Mi Xiaojing were good or bad, he would first throw a bucket of shit.
Chen Shouyi was furious. He swung the vine in his hand and lashed out, "Bastard, you dare to kill your own junior brother and slander me!"
The vine was a magical weapon, and a powerful lash with it was far more potent than a whip. Hong Qing, bound by the Soul Locking Needle, was no different from an ordinary person. The vine lashed him, leaving his skin torn and bloody.
"Chen Shouyi, if you have the guts, kill me! Kill me! Ah, ah! Bastard, old dog! You won't die a good death! I curse you! Ahhh!"
Zhang Ke poked his head out of the room and shouted, "What's going on?"
Mi Xiaojing turned his head and shouted, "Stay with the others, don't come out!" His tone was extremely stern.
Taking advantage of Mi Xiaojing's distraction, Chen Shouyi suddenly raised his hand and threw the vine at him. This was Chen Shouyi's backup plan, to catch him off guard and entangle him with the vine.
Hong Qing let out a strange cry, "Kid, dodge!" His voice had changed. He wasn't concerned about Mi Xiaojing, but he knew that if Mi Xiaojing was caught, he would be done for too. If Mi Xiaojing could resist, there might still be a chance to survive. The more he had feared alerting others before, the more he now hoped others would hear the commotion.
I've really tried my best, but updating more frequently is indeed a bit difficult for me. Let's get back to normal, I'll try to burst out occasionally, ensuring continuous updates.
