When the female cultivator named Yuan sensed something was wrong, she stayed where she was, and her body invisibly merged into the surrounding spiritual energy. Her skills naturally absorbed the surrounding spiritual energy as they circulated.
Just when she thought that she had made a mistake in judgment and was simply not familiar with the restrictions here.
Suddenly, the female cultivator named Yuan felt as if her skin pores were filled with hot needles, causing her to groan in pain.
Then, she felt a sharp pain in her throat, as if it was being cut by a knife.
"This... this place is poisonous!"
This was the first thought that came to the mind of the female cultivator surnamed Yuan. When she looked at the deck again, the figure of the old woman surnamed He became even more blurred, as if she was about to come across the air.
But at this moment she felt that it was not the old woman surnamed He, and her head felt a little dizzy.
She shouted hoarsely in shock and anger, and her figure quickly retreated towards the stairs behind her. It was obvious that she had fallen into a trap set by someone.
This left the female cultivator named Yuan completely unprepared. Even though she had felt that something was wrong outside before, she still couldn't figure out what went wrong.
And with everything that was happening now, and the fading figure of the old woman surnamed He in front of her, she realized that this was a trap set for her.
In her opinion, it was Fuling Villa that took action against her.
Li Yan had cleverly removed the "illusion array" before, but left a large amount of "illusion poison" and five other kinds of severe poisons here.
No matter what, the female cultivator surnamed Yuan never expected that someone would tamper with the stairs, and based on her understanding of the old woman surnamed He, she knew that the other party was not good at using real poison.
Moreover, this is the time for both parties to cooperate. This is a planned task formulated by Lianxin Valley, and the two sects must work together.
Although the skills of Fuling Villa also contain some corpse poison, it is an extremely yin thing and can be easily distinguished by himself. In the previous scan with his spiritual sense, he did not find any yin energy leaking out.
Li Yan's "illusion poison" can affect the consciousness of Yuanying cultivators at the Jindan stage. Once they enter the poisoning range, the poison will manifest in two ways.
One is that Li Yan did not hesitate to consume his own spiritual consciousness to forcibly control the other party to see some illusions that appeared under Li Yan's control.
However, this kind of control consumes a lot of Li Yan's spiritual consciousness. He needs to create an illusion, and his sea of consciousness is constantly shaken.
For cultivators whose spiritual power is weaker than their own, the effect is of course extremely good.
However, if used on a cultivator whose spiritual awareness is stronger than his, his sea of consciousness will be damaged in nine out of ten cases. That is a huge price to pay of hurting the enemy eight hundred times and hurting yourself a thousand times.
Moreover, when he deals with enemies of a higher level, the process he can control is very short. Li Yan must grasp the triggering time himself, which requires sufficient preparation to make the enemy step into the trap accurately.
Another possibility is that Li Yan only lays down the "phantom poison" and then leaves it alone. Once the opponent is affected, he will take the next action according to his subconscious thoughts, which is uncontrollable.
Li Yan was pressed for time before, and he didn't want to try to control the phantom poison and actively influence the behavior of a late-stage Jindan cultivator. The backlash damage he would suffer would be unpredictable.
In the current situation, Li Yan is walking on the edge of a cliff at every step. Even in his prime, he may be finished at any time.
Since he was not sure that he could eliminate the trouble, he naturally did not dare to let himself get hurt, especially if his sea of consciousness was hit back.
Even if he wanted to fight to the death, he had to understand the situation on the second floor and make a perfect plan before he dared to fight regardless of the consequences.
After the female cultivator named Yuan was startled, her reaction was also subconscious. This is the life-saving instinct of an experienced cultivator.
Magic power surged throughout her body, and she tried to suppress the several unknown poisons in her body, but her external defense shield began to make a series of "sizzling..." sounds.
This was after Li Yan removed the "illusion array" and then added five kinds of poisons that he thought could threaten the Jindan cultivators. Anyway, there was no need to hide them like before.
The target must be a second-level Divine Transformation cultivator, so he placed all the poisons he could use here.
The protective light shield outside the body of the female cultivator named Yuan had been corroded by the poison and was making constant noises. As she quickly retreated from the stairs, she had already taken out a bottle of pills in one hand, uncorked it without thinking, and poured it directly into her mouth.
At the same time, the magic power in the body surged out like a tide, but it also prevented the further erosion of the poison outside the body.
But in just a short period of retreat, her protective light shield had been corroded, leaving only 40% of its thickness, but she managed to block it.
It was just that because she had just stayed in the poisonous area, several toxins had already reached her body. Even after swallowing the pill, she still felt dizzy and her internal organs seemed to be cut into pieces.
However, the pill she swallowed did play a significant role. In the end, only the four poisons were still spreading in her body. She was a little unsteady while flying.
The fairyland is the fairyland. The detoxification pills purchased by the female cultivator named Yuan at her level can be considered as high-grade and fine-quality pills in this world.
Therefore, it is not that Li Yan's poison is unpredictable, but he does not have so many spirit stones to buy various detoxification pills in the fairy world to try them one by one and then give an answer.
But even so, this made the female cultivator named Yuan shocked for a moment. She had never encountered such a powerful poison.
Even when she was trapped in an ancient cultivator's cave filled with deadly corpse poison and home to a corpse Kui with equal strength to her, she was able to cope with it with her own strength and elixirs.
But compared to this moment, she also felt that the thousand-year-old corpse poison of the corpse Kui was not as toxic and weird as these ones, which made her poisoned without knowing it, and the attack was so fierce.
In just a moment, some ulcers appeared on her internal organs.
In fact, even Li Yan could not know the result of her poisoning. Li Yan had never used the extremely poisonous agent to truly deal with a spiritual cultivator.
He just felt that the poison could not be easily removed by the other party, but he did not have a standard to measure the extent of the effect.
The means he had arranged before were just a latent habit of his. He hoped to have an extra means in reserve when facing a strong enemy that he could not cope with.
The cultivation level of the female cultivator named Yuan was very profound. Her jade palm turned into a residual shadow, and several kinds of pills were poured into her mouth.
At the same time, she circulated the incomparably powerful magic power in her body to her limbs, bones, and meridians, and began to forcibly contain the poison.
Finally, three colored thin lines appeared on her smooth forehead, and they were slowly fading away, but the speed was very slow.
All of her movements were incredibly fast, and when she finished all of this, she had already retreated to the second floor of the giant boat.
At this time, when her spiritual sense swept down through the stairs again, the first deck was already empty. The old woman surnamed He did not catch up with her, but disappeared again.
Her mind instantly connected with the "Blue Sky Demon Vine", and the next moment, the demon vine rushed out of the room with its pressure and enveloped the second-floor deck.
After the female cultivator named Yuan learned that there was nothing abnormal with the magic vine, she felt a little relieved and asked the other party to pay attention to the second level of defense.
She immediately flashed and arrived at the door of the room where she had asked the old woman surnamed He. Her eyes exposed outside the black veil were already filled with murderous intent.
The ring in his hand that he had snatched from Chong Yangzi flashed, and at the same time, he chopped down with a palm.
"Boom"
With a loud bang, the door was smashed into pieces by her palm. The other party did not set up any new restrictions, but only opened the original restrictions on the giant boat.
But under the forceful control of the ring that controlled the giant boat, she slapped it open.
This is also why the old woman surnamed He took away her formation restrictions when she left.
She was also wary of the female cultivator named Yuan, so she would only carry formations with strong defenses so that she could use them at any time.
However, her actions would also give the female cultivator named Yuan an opportunity to take advantage of. For example, the other party could easily get into her room and set up a trap similar to the "Bi Luo Demon Vine" again.
However, there is nothing that can be done about it. Nothing can be perfect, and both parties are still cooperating. It is impossible that there is no bottom line of trust at all.
After the female cultivator named Yuan slammed the door open with one palm, she saw that the room was empty. Her anger did not diminish and her figure disappeared again.
Immediately, the entire deck seemed to be swept by a whirlwind.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
After three more loud noises, the other three rooms were opened by her. Then, the aura of the female cultivator surnamed Yuan became disordered.
She stood on the deck, her snow-white breasts that were barely visible began to rise and fall violently, and her beautiful eyes kept flashing. "Sure enough, it was her that I saw on the first floor just now. This bitch actually dared to set an ambush and harm me..."
At this moment, she still felt dizzy, and the tingling in her body had not completely disappeared. As she used her magic power recklessly, the three poisons showed a tendency to spread again.
This forced her to use about 40% of her magic power to suppress the poison.
She sensed it briefly and found that the poisons in her body could not take her life. She could use her profound cultivation to suppress them in a corner of her body.
At this moment, she did not have time to force out the poison completely. There was a huge trouble waiting for her here, and she had to solve the crisis in front of her first.
When she was retreating just now, she felt that she was on the first deck, and the figure of the old woman named He she saw was a little blurry. She was still wondering if she was hallucinating after being poisoned.
So I still held out a little hope, hoping that I was wrong, and quickly retreated.
There is the "Blue Sky Demon Vine" on the second floor. Although she is poisoned, she still has combat power. By joining forces with this demon vine, she is more confident in dealing with emergencies.
After she communicated with the "Bi Luo Demon Vine", she learned that there was nothing unusual in her room and Chong Yangzi was still in a coma, which made her feel relieved.
This means that this is not a backup plan left by Chong Yangzi. The other party is not a real god and could not have predicted that this situation would occur. Otherwise, he would not have been captured.
Therefore, the corner at the first-floor staircase should not be a trap deliberately set by Hui Chongyangzi, as they have participated in many "fruitless" snatching battles in the past.
There were only some defensive prohibitions on the first floor before, and the purpose was only to prevent those Nascent Soul cultivators from exploring and coming up.
The remaining four rooms, including the room she had previously lived in, were also split open one by one, but there was no sign of the old woman surnamed He.
This made her shocked and angry, and she immediately thought of a possibility.
The person who set the ambush on the first floor could only be the old woman surnamed He. However, an idea that made her feel even more unwilling, or even fearful, arose involuntarily in her heart.
"I have never heard of such a poison. I am a cultivator in the late stage of the Spiritualization Realm. How could that bitch surnamed He possess such a poison
Could it be... Could it be that it was Lianxin Valley's order? ? Could it be... Could it be that they still don't believe in Tianshan Garden's surrender
That's why they took out this poison and did what they did when the cunning rabbit died and the running dog was cooked! !
But... But why can they trust Fuling Mountain Villa? Is it because our sect is so strong that Lianxin Valley is more cautious...
No! No! This should be the idea of that bitch surnamed He. She wants to monopolize the credit this time and strengthen her sect’s position in the Lianxin Valley…”
The female cultivator surnamed Yuan's mind raced for a moment. Normally, it would not be easy for the old woman surnamed He to obtain this strange poison, but she could still buy it after paying a huge price.
These poisons almost took my life. Although I am not dead now, my strength has been greatly reduced. The one who benefits the most here is not the Lianxin Valley, but the Fuling Villa.
Lianxin Valley shouldn't do such a thing. The "Big Fruitless" tree is not in hand yet! And the plan against the Blood Lantern Sect and the Seven Tigers Alliance is only half completed.
It has not yet completely caused Chunyang Hall to become suspicious of the two sects, nor has it reached the point of causing further damage to Chunyang Hall.
Moreover, there are powerful people in the Lianxin Valley who are at the Lianxu realm. They will definitely not care about the sect like us who have defected to them. Instead, they will pay more attention to the more powerful Tianshan Garden.
To put it bluntly, when dealing with Chunyang Hall or other forces of the same level next time, our sect can be regarded as a sharp blade. How could it turn against us here
After a quick analysis, the female cultivator named Yuan calmed down a little. The accidental poisoning had made her, who was originally looking forward to the future, suddenly become shocked and angry, and she forgot some things.
The next moment, she immediately began to cast a spell with the ring on her hand. At the beginning, she used this method to notify the monks in all the rooms on the first floor.
Now, she wants to try again, so as to confirm her judgment...
In the room, Li Yan's heart skipped a beat when he saw Chong Yangzi tied up by a vine.
"How could this happen? This is totally wrong! Previously it was said that Chong Yangzi was injured in a sneak attack by our two sects. Now he is indeed injured, but he is also being controlled by someone.
The targets should be Tianshan Garden and Fuling Villa. Chen Xingshan and the other powerful god-transforming expert from the Seven Tigers Alliance may have met with an accident!"
In a flash, Li Yan saw Chong Yangzi's condition and immediately made a judgment in his mind. This kind of thing was too easy to guess.
Li Yan certainly couldn't guess the specific reason, but the scene before him had a completely different meaning to the Blood Lamp Sect and the Seven Tigers Alliance.
Since a female cultivator named Yuan was also operating the flying boat here before, she moved the bodies of Chen Xingshan and the big man to the other side. From the angle where Li Yan was standing here, he was unable to notice them.
Otherwise, he would be more certain of his judgment.
Li Yan's mind was racing while he was in hiding. He was wondering whether he should take action to get rid of the spiritual plant that was binding Chong Yangzi, and then rescue Chong Yangzi.
Even though the female cultivator named Yuan seriously injured Chong Yangzi, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse. The methods of any old monster cannot be underestimated. It is very likely that he has hidden cards that others cannot expect.
If Chong Yangzi can be rescued, it will definitely be beneficial to our side with no harm. Our side has reached this point now. Could there be a worse outcome than this
Just when Li Yan decided to launch a sneak attack on the spiritual plant, a hoarse, suppressed cry of fear and anger suddenly came from outside.
Li Yan immediately recognized that this was the voice of the female cultivator named Yuan who had just gone down.
"She...she stepped into a trap and was poisoned??"
At the same time, he felt a powerful pressure rushing out from the gate and covering the entire second deck.
Li Yan's face changed. Although he had not released his spiritual sense, the aura emitted by this spiritual plant was right beside him, and he was in the "embrace" of the spiritual plant.
Li Yanbu immediately felt this heart-pounding pressure, which was so powerful that it made the restrictions in the room make a "cracking" sound. His heart suddenly shrank.
"Damn it, this is a fifth-level spiritual plant!"
Li Yan immediately realized a serious problem. He couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart and cold sweat instantly broke out on his back.
He actually treated this spiritual plant as a fourth-level existence, which was an absolutely fatal mistake.
"I actually overlooked such a problem, and at this moment, I am still within the attack range of a fifth-level spiritual plant!"
Li Yan looked at the dense vines and twigs all around him, and waves of fear kept rising in his heart. Even for a brave man like him, he felt at this moment that he had really walked through the gates of hell this time.
Showing weakness to the enemy and treating the powerful enemy as weak is something I often ask others to do.
The consequences of being unable to accurately estimate the opponent's strength can be seen from the fate of your former enemies.
Looking at Chong Yangzi hanging there, Li Yan thought about it again. With fear in his eyes, he realized that he had not noticed a mistake.
If it were me, would I hand over the powerful enemy to the care of the two demons after capturing him
That would definitely not happen. This kind of enemy that could turn the tables at any time would definitely only be put in his own hands, only then would he feel truly at ease.
And the female cultivator named Yuan actually went out like this, without any worry about the possibility that Chong Yangzi would launch a desperate counterattack. This shows that the power of this spiritual plant can at least suppress, or temporarily suppress, Chong Yangzi's desperate counterattack.
Therefore, the female cultivator surnamed Yuan was so confident that she dared to leave Chong Yangzi here and go out on her own.
When I think about the fact that this is a spiritual plant and a terrifying fifth-level existence, some questions become easy to explain.
Li Yan and the others had not seen this fifth-level spiritual plant at the beginning, and Chong Yangzi probably didn't even know about its existence at the beginning.
Instead, they were secretly brought up by a female cultivator named Yuan or an old woman named He. Since they were engaged in a "fruitless" snatching war, there had never been any problems before.
Therefore, Chunyang Hall's inspection in this regard should not reach the extent of body search or checking the other party's spirit storage ring.
Even after this spiritual plant has concealed its aura, there is no problem in using it as someone else's companion spirit.
Once a fifth-level spiritual plant is brought up, if it is carefully planned, they can take the lead by simply defeating them one by one.
Later, it might become a situation of three to two, and then three to one. Only in this way can it be reasonably explained why there was no major battle among the Divine Transformation cultivators above, but the current situation occurred.
After Li Yan confirmed that this spiritual plant was of the fifth level, he quickly figured out some clues while constantly reminding himself to be careless.
As a result, Li Yan did not dare to rescue Chong Yangzi. And for a moment, Li Yan was stuck on what to do next.
