Chapter 37: Chapter 37: The Yellow Sparrow (Seeking Monthly Ticket)

Outside the valley.

Shen Yuxin raised her hand and with a single strike of her sword,

a streak of sword light flew out, slicing a small jade green snake in two.

"Jade Snake? The gall bladder is worth a Spirit Stone... Fifth Sister truly has fortune’s favor, we shall surely return triumphant this time."

Upon seeing this, Hua Feiyue chuckled and went forward with a swaying waist, collecting resources from the Jade Snake’s body.

Meng Yi, watching Hua Feiyue’s slender waist and curvy hips, couldn’t help but smile: "Brother Chen is truly blessed... If my eye for such matters is correct, this lady surely possesses innate charm, exuding an alluring air."

"Elder brother and the fellow sworn brethren, our camaraderie is as transparent as liver and gall..."

Chen Yi remained expressionless.

Chen Hongtian, following behind Chen Yi, carrying a huge hammer, stole a glance at his second sister, his eyes also slightly entranced.

Meng Yi, oblivious to the subtle atmosphere, fell a few steps behind the group and grabbed Shen Yuxin’s right hand: "You seem uneasy, ordinarily you wouldn’t have let that small snake come within seven steps..."

"I’m worried about Zijin..." Shen Yuxin replied with a bitter smile.

"He’ll be fine, there’s the Law Enforcement Team in Qinglin Square... Besides, didn’t we instruct him not to leave home? With the protective Talismans we left behind, he shouldn’t have any problems."

There was an established order within Qinglin Square, at least acts of breaking into homes and murdering should not occur... before the Qingxuan Sect Law Enforcement Team is wiped out, right?

"I specifically told Zijin not to trust the neighbors, there shouldn’t be any serious problems..."

Shen Yuxin murmured as well.

"We’ve now reached Five Scorpion Valley, if we finish our task early, we can return."

Meng Yi comforted his wife.

The party of six entered the deep valley, the weakest among them were Innate Martial Artists with astonishing movement techniques, easily traversing over several treacherous spots and reaching the entrance of the valley.

"Be cautious, there’s toxic fog here, perhaps everyone should take a few Detoxification Pills first!"

Pill Master Wan Fenglin passed over a Jade Bottle.

"Thank you."

Chen Yi cheerfully accepted it, swallowed a pill, and then passed it to Hua Feiyue.

After everyone had consumed an Elixir, Pill Master Wan Fenglin said, "There are quite a few Purple Winged Scorpions inhabiting this place, we should stick to the plan we discussed earlier!"

"Agreed!"

Chen Yi nodded, taking out a set of flags and handing them to everyone: "We’ve practiced this ’Small Mysterious Formation’ thoroughly. When the time comes, pay attention to your steps, continuously inject Innate True Qi, and we should be able to trap the Purple Winged Scorpions."

"Don’t worry, big brother."

Hua Feiyue fluttered her lashes and received them with a smile.

Soon, a foggy haze of white mist began to emerge at the valley’s mouth, gradually merging with the light fog in the mountains, becoming indistinguishable from each other.

Crack! Crack!

Suddenly, a monkey-shaped Puppet walked out from the mist, nearly two meters tall with arms reaching past its knees, its body flickering with various Spirit Runes, emanating powerful Mana fluctuations.

At that moment, the Puppet Monkey suddenly beat its chest and opened its huge mouth wide.

Puff!

A yellowish light beam emerged from its mouth, shooting into the valley.

Buzz! Buzz!

The terrifying sound of wing flaps arose, and several purple scorpion shadows appeared, rushing towards the Puppet Monkey.

The Puppet Monkey let out a strange cry and immediately fled backward.

The Purple Winged Scorpions followed in hot pursuit, and in no time, they had burst into the Mysterious Formation.

As soon as the Purple Winged Scorpions entered the Small Mysterious Formation, they vanished from sight, with only occasional flashes of Spell brilliance and explosions heard.

Moments later, a slightly damaged Puppet Monkey emerged again, attempting to lure the Purple Winged Scorpions...

...

"Not bad, you even know Puppetry?"

Fang Xing watched the scene, greatly enjoying it.

After all, Array and Puppetry Techniques were quite rare.

Of course, these people were not Array Masters or Puppet Masters, but rather they had purchased the Array and Puppet, indicating a significant investment.

"Comparing ordinary Demon Beasts with Cultivators... Given equal strength, Cultivators still have the upper hand... after all, Cultivators utilize tools and strategies."

Fang Xing only needed a few glances to know that with such luring, the Purple Winged Scorpion horde was doomed, no chance of turning the tide, doomed to be wiped out.

Gradually, as more and more Purple Winged Scorpions were slain, the mist cloaking the valley began to dissipate.

Faintly visible in the lingering fog was a Spiritual Lake in the valley’s center.

At the edge of the lake, there were several unusual orchids shrouded in glowing light, a few already in bloom, exuding a mesmerizing fragrance, clearly indicating they were not of Mortal Grade.

More crucially... beside the Illusion Heart Orchid, there lay a Purple Winged Scorpion!

This Purple Winged Scorpion was the size of a millstone, its body like a piece of purple crystal, its translucent Armor refracting a spectrum of colors in the sunlight.

At this moment, this ’Purple Winged Scorpion King’ also sensed something amiss, vibrating its wings, turning into a streak of purple light, along with the few remaining Purple Winged Scorpions, it charged directly towards the valley entrance!

"Bad news, this Purple Winged Scorpion King is no simple creature! It is at least a Top Grade First Rank Demon Insect, comparable to a Qi Cultivation Late Stage Cultivator!"

Inside the Small Mysterious Formation, as the Pill Master Wan Dan brandished a small flag, he saw the scene before him and his face immediately turned pale.

"Let’s go for it, let them into the formation!" Chen Yi gritted his teeth fiercely. "So what if it’s a First Rank Top Grade Demon Insect? Within the array, with our combined strength, we might not be defeated!"

Before his words could finish, a streak of purple light had already charged into the Small Mysterious Formation.

Clouds of purple poison mist appeared instantly, enveloping them, as if corroding the original white fog.

Meng Yi and the other Innate Martial Artists’ faces changed, and they forcibly spat out a mouthful of essence blood, feeling as though the Innate True Qi in their bodies was dissipating at a rate ten to a hundred times faster than before...

"Now seems like a good opportunity... But there’s a mantis stalking a cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. I might as well remain the child and stay out of it..."

Far away in Qinglin Square, Fang Xing saw this group brawling so fiercely, yet a strange expression surfaced on his face.

Boom!

Minutes later, the surveillance image flashed with a burst of flames, followed by the Small Mysterious Formation exploding with a loud bang!

The thick fog dissipated, revealing the figures of Sanguan Wuyi and Pill Master Wan Dan.

Although they all looked very disheveled, with Hua Feiyue and Shen Yuxin’s garments stained with blood, the Purple Winged Scorpion King, the size of a grinding disc, had already fallen dead to the ground.

"A First Rank Top Grade Demon Insect, how many Spirit Stones is that worth? Plus other demon insect materials, and the Illusion Heart Orchid... We’ve hit the jackpot!"

Meng Yi checked his wife’s injuries, quickly pressing a few acupoints to stop her bleeding. Seeing the scorpion corpses scattered all around, he breathed heavily: "After this haul, we can rent a booth at the marketplace. We won’t have to skip licking blood off the knife’s edge to bring up Zijin..."

"Yes..."

A loving smile appeared on the pale face of Shen Yuxin.

The next moment, her smile, along with Meng Yi’s, froze on their faces: "Third brother, you?"

In their view, Chen Hongtian’s face showed a ferocious grin as he swung his hammer mercilessly towards their eldest brother, Chen Yi!

Clang!

A golden light emerged on Chen Yi’s body, forming into a shape of a Golden Bell Shield.

The pitch-black hammer slammed on the golden bell, the surging Innate True Qi causing the bell to resonate with a deafening roar.

"Golden Bell Shield Talisman?"

Chen Hongtian missed his strike and immediately retreated, the hundred-pound hammer moving in his hands like an impenetrable black curtain, forming a dark barrier that firmly protected him: "You were prepared?"

"Little brother, you’ve indeed conspired with Wan Fenglin!"

Chen Yi’s face showed a look of profound betrayal.

"Little brother, why?" Hua Feiyue, already severely injured, quickly retreated, eyeing her bewildered younger brother and sister, stealthily moving to gain some distance.

Unexpected changes occur close at hand; now, no one can be trusted!

"Why?"

Chen Hongtian, with a greedy glimpse at Hua Feiyue, sneered: "Why? Because this undying old man relies on his status as a cultivator to always take the lion’s share, why should he?"

"Fortune favors the bold; in my opinion, you’d all better just surrender peacefully..." Wan Fenglin wore a confident expression: "Don’t you think, Daoist Hua?"

"My dear..." A trace of distress appeared on the blood-drained face of Hua Feiyue, looking particularly pitiful.

But before she could say anything, a surge of black qi suddenly arose: "Not good, you actually poisoned us? The Detoxification Pill from earlier?"

"Haha, yes, it’s the Detoxification Pill!" Wan Fenglin laughed heartily: "An elixir especially concocted by this pill master. How does it taste?"

He looked towards the couple, Meng Yi and his wife, seeing that the two Innate Martial Artists were even worse off, already collapsed to the ground, but his eyes turned to Chen Yi and he was suddenly taken aback.

The man was completely vigorous and ruddy, with no signs of poisoning at all!

At that moment, he took out a few Attack Talismans, the mana pulsing in his hands.

"Not good!"

He instinctively crushed the talisman in his hand, and a golden light firmly protected him.

But the next moment!

Roar!

Along with a tiger’s roar, a pitch-black Tiger Head Saber suddenly emerged from the dense forest, extending a blade light over a zhang long, heavily chopping at the golden light.

Wan Fenglin’s expression changed drastically: "Tiger Head Saber? The Black Tiger Gang’s standard-issue Magic Artifact? Have you thrown in your lot with the Black Tiger Gang?"

From within the thicket, a stout man in a black robe appeared, a fierce tiger head embroidered on his chest. His face revealed a fierce grin: "Pill Master Wan Dan, Black Tiger Gang’s Fu Qing pays his respects. Our Black Tiger Gang has been inviting Pill Master to be a Guest Elder. Why has Pill Master always declined?"

Seeing this, Chen Hongtian knew trouble was brewing, with cold sweat streaming down his forehead.

Fu Qing’s position perfectly blocked the valley’s entrance, leaving him no escape!

Moreover, the other was a great master in the Late Stage of Qi Cultivation, not as strong as the four Perfect Qi Cultivators that founded the Black Tiger Gang, but also not to be taken lightly!

"Cough, I was just thinking it over, now I think... becoming a Guest Elder with the Black Tiger Gang seems like a splendid idea..."

Wan Fenglin coughed once, abruptly throwing his hand up.

Two murky beady spheres, resembling elixirs, shot towards him.

"Is that... Dan Thunder?"

Fu Qing’s eyes twitched as he saw one of the elixirs suddenly explode, purple-red thunderfire instantly striking the Tiger Head Saber, heavily blasting the artifact away with a mournful cry.

Recognizing the danger, he turned around and slapped his waist, a pitch-black turtle shell-shaped shield emerging, securely placed in front of him.

...

"Hm? They’ve finally started fighting."

Inside the surveillance room, Fang Xing’s eyes lit up: "It’s my turn to take the stage now..."
