Chapter 1157: Ambush
After leaving the city, the eight Heavenly Demon Realm cultivators that followed Xu Chuniang did not rush to make a move, but continued to tail behind her.
This place is too close to Crown Mountain City, too early to make a move, in case the opponent is a slippery, take advantage of the chaos to break out of the encirclement, back to the Crown Mountain City, then it will not be worth the loss.
The eight people were all experienced veterans, so naturally they would not make such a low-level mistake.
However, Xu Chuniang’s cultivation was too low, even though they had been reminded before they set off that they should not take it lightly because of the opponent’s low cultivation, there were still some people who were not convinced and felt that this operation was too much of a publicity stunt.
District earth devil realm cultivator, even if there are some good things on the body, but the cultivation is here, can be strong to where?
As for Xu Chuniang’s identity, they also vaguely guessed it.
Eighty percent of the time, she was the heir of some prince or queen’s daughter, who had taken something from her family and snuck out to see the world.
Someone like this, although harder to deal with than an ordinary cultivator, was nothing more than that, where was it worth sending out eight people?
Thinking so in his heart, his face inevitably brought out some, was detected by the leading cultivator.
The leader glared at the crowd, “She can casually take out such treasures as the Sinking Bead and the Golden Jiao Order, and there will only be more devil soldiers and devil treasures on her body, so if you don’t want to die, all give me some caution!”
“Yes!”
However, facts proved that in front of absolute strength, even higher vigilance was useless.
Xu Chuniang had stopped at some point, and she turned her head back to look at the empty hill behind her with calm eyes.
This perverse move made the few people following behind her a little nervous.
“Chief, why did she suddenly stop walking? Did she discover us?”
The leading cultivator frowned, having a bad feeling that their whereabouts might have been exposed.
“Prepare to move ……”
Before the words fell, they were interrupted by a tragic scream that suddenly rang out.
The leading cultivator sniffed and looked, and when he saw the image, his pupils shrunk.
Three thick vines, deadlocked around one of his subordinates, the vines drilled into his body at a bizarre angle, and drilled out from his brow, looking extremely horrifying.
What the hell is this?
Not waiting for him to think too much, another miserable scream came, and there were other people who were hit.
In the space of a breath, countless vines were seen, breaking out from the soil under their feet, attacking several people in twos and threes, coming in strong.
The leading cultivator didn’t dare to look any further, as five vines had set their sights on him at the same time, and were rapidly surging towards him.
He drew out his own demonic weapon and ferociously slashed at the vines, however, these vines were smart and pliable, and would actively avoid the sharp edges of the demonic weapon.
He swung for half a day, but surprisingly, he only chopped some branches and leaves, unable to injure them at all.
The leading cultivator was horrified, and after realizing that they were no match for these vines, he ordered on the spot, “Go, quickly return to the city!”
However, the others had already been entangled by the vines and could not leave at all.
The leading cultivator couldn’t care too much and relied on the demonic soldiers in his hands to kill a path with all his might, but he was blocked by a figure that blocked his way forward.
Xu Chuniang looked appreciatively at the devil soldier in his hand, “Nice axe, sharp enough.”
Looking at the female cultivator in front of him who only had an Earth Demon Realm cultivation, the leading cultivator was like a formidable enemy, his hand holding the axe was actually sweating because it was too hard.
To be able to control such bizarre vines, this woman’s strength was by no means as low as her cultivation showed.
Behind them, the miserable screams were still ringing, accompanied by rustling sounds that made people inexplicably panicked.
His eyes hardened as he wielded the axe in his hand towards the female cultivator in front of him, if he delayed any longer, those vines would catch up again!
Xu Chuniang lightly moved her feet, easily avoiding this strike, but when the other party’s moves grew old, her left hand flashed out, gripping the axe’s handle, and utilizing her dexterity, she snatched the axe from his hands. The leading cultivator only felt a trance in his soul, and then his hand was empty.
As he looked at the person in front of him, a chill rose from the bottom of his heart, clearly understanding that he was no match for her.
What the other party wanted just now, if it was his own life, he would already be dead at this moment.
The gap between the two was too great, and he couldn’t even muster the heart to resist.
And at this time, the vines had also settled the remaining seven, and were swarming in groups towards the leading cultivator, staring at him with salivation.
After it became clear that he was not an opponent, the leading cultivator calmed down instead, the reason why the other party had not killed him yet was simply because they wanted to pry out more information from him.
Thinking of this, he took the initiative to speak, “I can tell you who the person behind me is, but you have to let me live.”
“Really? But I don’t want to hear it.”
Xu Chuniang played with the axe she had obtained in the center of her hand and glanced at the vines that were stupidly moving.
The vines got excited and swarmed towards the lead cultivator, drowning him in an instant.
When the vines sucked the divine souls, they would also get the memories in the souls at the same time, and she didn’t need those incoherent messages at all.
The vines ate their fill and happily organized the memories they obtained, blending them into a few gray bubbles and spitting them out.
Xu Chuniang gently pointed to one of the gray bubbles and poked it, and saw a picture ……
After reading all of the memories in these gray bubbles, she finally understood who it was that had done this to her.
“So it’s the people from the Secret Market who did this.”
Xu Chuniang snorted coldly, she said how it was so coincidental that it was on the side of her needing the Soul Nourishing Sacred Item, and that the owner of the Seven Quarters Grass and the Nine Colored Lotus was actually the same person.
Now that she thought about it, the other party had purposely added the Nine-Colored Lotus to the trading list, also to test her.
Unfortunately, these people were not clear about her background, and the people they sent were just sending her to her death.
Xu Chuniang looked back and fixedly glanced in the direction of Crown Mountain City.
It must be that by this time, the people of the Secret City, had already realized that the people sent out were all dead.
I wonder what will happen to them next?
Xu Chuniang searched for a clean hill, sat down on her knees, and quietly waited for the other party to arrive.
However, after a day passed, nothing happened, and no one came out of the city to look for trouble from her.
It was 80% likely that those people wouldn’t come.
Without further delay, Xu Chuniang got up and took one last look at Crown Mountain City before turning to leave.
It was only two days after she left that someone reached this hill, rummaging through the land inch by inch, searching for signs of battle.
Eight intact corpses, and a tiny bloody hole at the center of the brow, attracted the attention of several people.
After examining the cause of their deaths, several people reported to a man.
“Elder Chang, the cause of their deaths are all the same, they all died from the God Pinning Soul Dispersion, and other than the wound at the center of the eyebrow, there is not a single trauma in the rest of the area.”
This Chang Lao was no one else, but the mysterious male cultivator who had conducted the transaction with Xu Chuniang in the secret market, the initiator of this secret market.
It was also he who had led this assault.
