Could it be that I am the cruel villain?

Chapter 333: Chapter 217: Is This What Becoming a Buddha Is Like?_2

"This magic treasure has been mentioned by the elders in my family; it is the unique skill of the legendary Taiyi True Man. His disciples are spread all over the world, and a number of them have further developed and glorified this technique after learning it. The Qiankun Bag we hold is exactly such an example."

"Now I have an idea. Though this object is of a rather high grade, that Golden Monk only has Core Formation cultivation and can barely activate it. There is absolutely a chance for us to break it open."

"Sister Su, after the two of us enter, one will be responsible for coordinating with Mr. Jiang and distracting the demon monk, while the other focuses on launching fierce strikes from above. Then Brother Wang, you should not enter, just stay here and launch a fierce attack."

"To break the magic treasure from both inside and outside..."

"Okay!" Before she could finish speaking, Lu Luo immediately reached into her chest, and to the astonishment of the others watching, she directly pulled out a bag.

It was the Qiankun Bag.

Yes, she usually hid the most important things in the most important places, that is, under her bodice. Ignoring the strange looks from others, she simply waved her hand and took out a silver needle about a foot long, with delicate patterns engraved on its end.

This was the magic treasure she had spent nearly a year to barely gather enough Spirit Yun for, and then she exchanged it for a long-coveted magic treasure from the Treasure Pavilion. The reason for using the word ’barely’ was that...

Jiang Feng contributed a third of the Spirit Yun to help Lu Luo buy it, otherwise, it would have been taken away by someone else.

With a wave of her hand, powerful Spiritual Energy burst out from her palm in an instant, and the sharp edge surprised the others. They originally thought Jiang Feng brought her along just to have a chat and alleviate boredom; they never expected this seemingly frail woman to possess such combat capability.

But looking back, they might have underestimated her. After all, Lu Luo was the first among them to embark on the path of cultivation. She was only placed at the bottom of the sect in the past because she lacked any magic treasures and foundation.

Nowadays, having the chance to work for Liu Tangxi meant that both her status and resources skyrocketed. This silver needle was of exceptional quality, and with Spiritual Energy furiously poured into it, a single strike dispersed much of the dark clouds. Sensing the loosening of Divine Sense, Lu Luo didn’t hesitate to squeeze her way in.

"You wait..."

Yan Fengchun was also dumbfounded, he hadn’t finished speaking yet when this madwoman threw herself into action. He couldn’t help but sigh, then turned his head to look at Wang Yong, who was silent next to him.

As for the other Purple Cloud Palace Disciples, he had been instructed to return to Shuipang County to deal with the aftermath; there wasn’t much he could do here being only at the Foundation Establishment Realm.

"Brother Wang, I still have to trouble you to stay outside and work with us to break the magic treasure, with a time limit of two hours. If we can either come out or manage to make a hole from outside, then naturally we can escape."

"If we can’t break it in two hours, then there’s probably no hope left. At that time, I’ll have to ask you to make a trip to State City first. There is a Nascent Soul master stationed there; if you hurry, you can reach it within a day."

"Normally, there would be a sect-set Sound Transmission Array in State City. After getting that Nascent Soul master for help, I’ll need to trouble Brother Wang once more to inform Purple Cloud Palace about our distress. If even that Nascent Soul Stage master cannot break it..."

"Then we can only pray that Liu Jianxian truly possesses the Sword Qi that can traverse thirty thousand miles, as the legends say."

Though he was smiling, anyone could see the unease deep in his heart. He purposefully placed his hand on Fangcun Mountain, and with Wang Yong’s discerning eyes, how could he not see that the young man’s hands were trembling.

Though it was somewhat inappropriate, Wang Yong couldn’t help but speak up.

"Brother Yan, you need not be so worried; it’s one thing to talk well, but it’s another if you have no foundation in your heart. If that demon monk can deploy even a fraction of the magic treasure’s power, our chances are slim. In my opinion, we’re better off splitting up. I’ll go directly to the sect to request the Sword Immortal, and you can go straight to State City to invite that Nascent Soul Stage elder brother."

Wang Yong’s mind was still clear. Strictly speaking, this was the most sensible course of action. He had been rather unwilling when he first heard Yan Fengchun’s plan to go inside to rescue.

The risk was too high. If Jin Shan, the Golden Monk, could use even a fraction of that high-level magic treasure’s capabilities, they were likely to perish, and more so because he only had a casual acquaintance with Jiang Feng.

Even if he admired the Sword Immortal, admiration shouldn’t cost him his life. Instead of risking death inside someone else’s magic treasure, it was wiser to return and ask for a powerful master to resolve the situation.

At first, he hesitated over whether to enter or not, but Yan Fengchun seemed to know his thoughts and actively volunteered to take his place, which undoubtedly made him feel much better.

However, Yan Fengchun just shook his head and replied, "This whole situation is due to my poor arrangement. If I had known that the demon monk was so dangerous, I would have listened to you. We should have just arrested those officials and then all four of us could have gone up the mountain together."

"Now that things have turned out this way, I must take full responsibility. If I can’t bring Mr. Jiang back, I’m afraid I wouldn’t even dare to return to the sect."

"Sigh, that demon monk is only at Core Formation; let’s hope we can break the situation. If we can’t, then I can only rely on your help, elder brother."

Following the gap he had just created in the dark clouds, he still injected Spiritual Energy into the jade, forcibly parting the clouds, and his figure immediately disappeared.

Unbeknownst to him, it was not really about him at all.

It was all because someone’s stomach was churning due to their intense curiosity that led them up the mountain, subsequently inadvertently falling into a trap...

Boom!

A golden man descended from the sky, its gigantic figure standing five zhang tall; it landed like a mountain, causing the earth to shatter and rocks to break. The tremendous impact caused the young man practicing Sword Control in midair to stagger.
