The Journey of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 827 - 456: Endurance and Action (Part 2)

She was usually timid, but at this moment she understood the urgency of the situation. If she didn’t do something, the next unlucky person after Qing Ji dealt with Ning Xiaoxian would be herself.

Ning Xiaoxian merely closed her eyes, unable to bear watching her. Sure enough, before the blade could pierce into the clothes on Qing Ji’s back, his sleeve swung backward, and a burst of power surged out, hurling the frail body of the woman behind him heavily against the wall of the carriage. Without turning his head, he said to Ning Xiaoxian: "I couldn’t tell, your friend is really good to you. It’s a pity she’s just a mortal." Facing Ning Xiaoxian, he was not careless, his Divine Thought was fully present, how could he be deceived by Hulian Minmin? Especially since, although she lightened her steps, to a cultivator’s ears, a mortal walking was as loud as drumbeats.

After a few breaths, a weak moaning sound came from the wall, Ning Xiaoxian’s heart relaxed, it seemed Hulian Minmin was not seriously harmed. Regardless of why this girl acted, she had earned Ning Xiaoxian the most precious thing: time.

"We have a whole night to slowly enjoy." Qing Ji didn’t even glance at Hulian Minmin, contrary to his earlier urgency, he reached out to undo her belt, "I want to savor the taste of gravel gold, it’s said to have all kinds of wonderful aspects, I’ve never tried it."

She had been careless, but she definitely wouldn’t let her purity be ruined by this man’s hands. There were still Hidden Guards outside, and with the time she had delayed, they must have set up. Ning Xiaoxian, with her Divine Power sealed, could only spit out: "Go to hell!"

Qing Ji looked at her disdainful gaze towards him, feeling an uncontrollable excitement sweep through him, he laughed: "Let me die inside you." He lowered his head to kiss her lips, but fortunately, shouting and fighting sounds suddenly came from outside the carriage.

Had the Hidden Guards finally acted? Ning Xiaoxian breathed a sigh of relief. Her strength was sealed, she couldn’t use transmission, and Changtian was suddenly silent. She guessed he was busy arranging a surprise attack.

Qing Ji was not someone who lost sight of priorities. At this moment, hearing the commotion outside, he surprisingly grabbed her at the waist and slid out the window instead of lifting the curtain to go to the door. At such a critical moment, he wouldn’t allow himself to be trapped in the carriage.

Changtian finally spoke, his voice carrying a hint of suppressed rage: "Jiu Mo’s poison has started to take effect, I’ve sent Qi Zai and Qingluan to assist you."

A lot of information. As he spoke, Ning Xiaoxian also saw the scenery around her clearly. Indeed, dozens of masked black-clothed men appeared in the camp, fighting with the Beauty Collection Team. The veils over their heads had been treated, even Divine Sense couldn’t see through. Qing Ji’s Green Armor Guards didn’t rush to intervene, but surrounded their master tightly in the center, ready for anything.

"Are these people you called?" Qing Ji bent down and whispered in her ear.

She turned her head away: "I don’t know them!" The Hidden Guards acted swiftly and ruthlessly, these people were definitely not the Hidden Guards, she really didn’t recognize these unexpected guests. Both she and Qing Ji were variables that appeared on the road, so this team should be here to ambush the Beauty Collection Team.

Just now, when Qing Ji unexpectedly subdued her, Changtian was about to order everyone to act. Who knew the Hidden Guards would just happen to discover the appearance of a third-party force, thus changing their decision temporarily, which almost made her grind her teeth to pieces with anger. Having such a calm lover, one doesn’t know whether it’s good or bad.

From numbers alone, both sides seemed similar, but their combat strength was vastly different. Clearly, the newcomers were all experts, the guards and cultivators of the Beauty Collection Team were no match, several had already been taken down, and the rest were struggling on both flanks.

It was then that Ning Xiaoxian noticed something unusual. Although the people of the Beauty Collection Team seemed to be fighting hard, their limbs were weak, lacking power, and their eyes somewhat dazed. They had unwittingly fallen under someone’s trick. More terrifying, after a little more fighting, they began to flush red in the face, remaining indifferent to the dying screams of their companions. The opponents also noticed the signs, acting even more viciously, and soon ten were wounded or killed.

"Jiu Mo’s poison is truly interesting." She glanced over, secretly amazed. Originally, in their plan, seven were to fight seventy. Even if there was a disparity in strength, it was difficult to annihilate them all. The opponents weren’t without legs and could run; with one slip, the cultivators could drive out their Flying Artifacts and take to the skies, making it hard to catch them. So the best method was indeed poison.

In such a spacious outdoor area, to simultaneously poison so many people was almost impossible. For two days, the convoy had been moving across the snowy plains, camping according to the advice of experienced hands on the upwind side. In this area of icy tundra, the strong winds howled year-round, dispersing poison powders as soon as they were blown. Zhongli Hao and Qing Ji’s food and drinks also had special people to test for poisons in advance, so under these circumstances, successfully poisoning them was quite a feat of skill.

But fortunately, she had just such a capable person in her hands: Jiu Mo.

To this day, no one knew how she managed to throw small poison pouches into the blazing campfires. Humans naturally liked to sit by the fire when camping, a basic instinctual need, unchanged even by cultivation skills. From the previous night, Jiu Mo had scattered these sesame-sized poison pouches on the firewood, which were thrown into the flame. The crackling sound of the wood burning masked the sound of the pouches bursting. Anyone who sat by the fire and smelled the smoke was sure to inhale some of the spreading poison powder, more or less. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

This poison is interesting, not only is it colorless and tasteless, but once it enters the body, it causes no harm, so most people, while slowly moving their spiritual or demonic power, cannot detect its existence at all. However, when they suddenly and massively consume physical strength and utilize Divine Skills, it explosively manifests, bewildering the mind, leading to the symptoms above. So strictly speaking, this is not an ordinary poison, but rather a powerful hallucinogenic drug. (To be continued.
