Plants vs. Cultivation.

Chapter 96: Failed to Kill
"not good!"

Feeling the violent spiritual power erupting from Rong Guangsheng, the foundation-building cultivator was shocked. The other party had actually broken free from the illusion without his noticing, and seized his momentary distraction to launch the most violent attack.

"Boom!"

Rong Guangsheng burst out with all his strength and tore apart everything within a hundred meters. The foundation-building cultivator was caught off guard and was seriously injured.

Without hesitation, the foundation-building cultivator turned around and fled. Rong Guangsheng was sent to be the protector of the disciples undergoing the true teaching trial. This strength meant that he was definitely one of the best in the same level.

Fortunately, that foundation-building cultivator was also from a major overseas Nascent Soul sect. If it had been an ordinary foundation-building cultivator, he would have probably died instantly after that move just now.

"Want to leave!"

Rong Guangsheng's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and the magic short sword in his hand made a sharp buzzing sound. He was actually dragged into the illusion without knowing it. What a shame it was, especially when he was performing the mission of a protector. At this moment, Rong Guangsheng didn't know what the situation of the target he was protecting was.

But he knew that the most important thing at the moment was to kill the enemy in front of him.

"Jingle Bell!"

Just when Rong Guangsheng was about to launch his second killing move, a crisp bell rang out. Hearing the bell, Rong Guangsheng's attack paused slightly, but he was well prepared and obviously would not be pulled into the illusion so easily.

It was just that Rong Guangsheng was slow for a moment, and the other party seized the opportunity, quickly moved away, and soon disappeared.

"what!!"

The target escaped, causing Rong Guangsheng to roar in anger.

But he did not chase after him, because he needed to find the sect disciple he wanted to protect as soon as possible. At the same time, Rong Guangsheng took out the communication talisman to contact the sect, saying that someone was targeting the sect's true seeds and this matter must not be underestimated and must be taken seriously.

"Huh? Here is..."

Soon Rong Guangsheng arrived at the place where Gu Mo and the other two had fought with the killer. However, all traces here had been erased by Gu Mo long ago. It's just that Gu Mo's methods were still a little rough. Relying on his rich experience, Rong Guangsheng still saw a lot of things.

"There is one person who has reached the great perfection of Qi training, and several people who have reached the late stage of Qi training. However, it seems that they have all become fertilizer here. Were they killed by those three little guys?" Rong Guangsheng said with some doubt.

To really kill an enemy who has reached the great perfection of Qi Refining and several enemies in the late Qi Refining stage is definitely not something that those three little guys who haven't even entered the late Qi Refining stage can do, but there seems to be no other aura here, "Did they use their life-saving trump card?" Rong Guangsheng felt that only this answer could explain the situation before his eyes.

At this time, Rong Guangsheng's communication jade talisman also received a response from the sect, and Yuan Niya's life lamp was fine.

"Hu~~"

After confirming that the target was safe, Rong Guangsheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. However, he had now completely lost the trace of Gu Mo and the other two. It would probably take a lot of time to find them. He just hoped that there would be no more accidents during this period.

"Team 13's mission failed?"

He Shaogang, who was resting in a certain market town, frowned slightly as he looked at the communication jade talisman in his hand. There were a total of 20 teams that were trying to kill the true disciples of Qinglu Sect this time. Each team was led by a foundation-building cultivator, accompanied by a cultivator who had reached the great perfection of Qi training and several cultivators in the late stage of Qi training.

Of course, this is just the basic configuration. In order to seize this rare opportunity to weaken the Qinglu Sect's foundation, the outer sea sect where He Shaogang is located has dispatched a lot of forces. In addition to the 20 teams, there are also several free foundation-building monks on standby. If they find the top nine true seeds, they will immediately set out to help intercept and kill them.

The Foundation Establishment cultivator is obviously not the limit, so the Qinglu Sect arranged a Jindan elder to take charge of this trial. The outer sea sect where He Shaogang is located naturally also had to send a Jindan realm cultivator to deal with it.

Moreover, this Jindan cultivator brought with him a precious talisman refined by their sect's Yuanying ancestor, which could completely intimidate the Jindan sent by the Qinglu Sect and prevent them from moving rashly.

The plan was pretty good, but the first piece of information that He Shaogang received was a report of a failed mission, which was really a bit of a letdown.

Glancing at the sect's protectors hiding in the distance, He Shaogang took out a communication talisman and inquired about the details of Team 13's failed mission. If an attempt by a Qigong master to great perfection led several Qigong masters in the late stages of their training could fail, then the target's strength was worthy of attention.

This person is most likely one of the top nine true disciples, or perhaps the second or third ranked Foundation Establishment disciple. Although these two are not the first on He Shaogang's kill list, they are second only to Yuan Niya, and their ranking is the same, second and third in the kill order.

"One man and two women, all three in the Qi Refining stage, not the Foundation Establishment stage. The leader of Team No. 13 was seriously injured in the Foundation Establishment stage, and the rest of the members are all dead." Looking at the information that kept coming back, He Shaogang narrowed his eyes. Through this information, He Shaogang knew that Team No. 13 did not encounter the two Foundation Establishment seeds, but who else could kill the ambushing team led by a Qi Refining Great Perfectionist?

"Could it be her..."

He Shaogang had a feeling that Team No. 13 might be encountering Yuan Niya. Yuan Niya's master, the elder of the Law Enforcement Hall, was famous for his strong combat power. As her apprentice, Yuan Niya's combat power obviously could not be measured by common sense. In addition, Yuan Niya used some life-saving trump cards, which might really cause Team No. 13's interception to fail.

"Pay special attention to those three people." Although he was not sure, He Shaogang still issued the order because he intuitively felt that those three people were most likely Yuan Niya's team.

"Little Lord!"

At this time, Yao Shifeng came trotting over.

"How's the investigation going?" He Shaogang asked after putting away the communication jade talisman. At most, He Shaogang could give remote commands for the assassination plan, and the specific situation still had to be decided by the teams themselves. The most important thing for He Shaogang now was to complete the true trial.

Becoming a true disciple and entering the upper echelons of Qinglu Sect was the most important thing for him at the moment. Only by entering the upper echelons of Qinglu Sect could he accelerate the disintegration of Qinglu Sect.

He Shaogang even planned to direct and act out a few ambushes himself. After all, other disciples had all been ambushed, and he, He Shaogang, the number one true seed, was no exception.

"We have roughly located the whereabouts of the mission target." Yao Shifeng nodded, and then reported the mission information he had investigated.

"Not bad!"

He Shaogang is becoming more and more satisfied with Yao Shifeng's ability to do things. After this trial is over, He Shaogang plans to completely pull Yao Shifeng into his camp. After all, such an outstanding person should naturally be placed in a more important position.

Qinglu Sect.

"Master, many disciples have been ambushed. Should we cancel this True Transmission Trial?" A Jindan elder frowned as he looked at the latest intelligence. "Why should we cancel it? If someone dares to ambushed our disciples, we will fight back. Only by killing them until they are utterly dead can we deter those villains." Another Jindan elder looked at the intelligence in his hand and at the disciples who were marked as seriously injured or dead, his eyes full of anger.

This is because their Qinglu Sect has become weak, and all kinds of monsters and demons dare to act so recklessly. If they don't fight back with thunder-like means, there will be more such situations in the future.

Even if this will cause more outstanding inner disciples to meet with accidents, this is a matter of reputation for the sect and must not be taken lightly. If Qinglu Sect does not fight back this time, the losses in the future will only be greater.

This statement was also agreed by several other Jindan elders. The current Qinglu Sect is at the bottom among the major Yuanying sects, but the weaker the strength, the more tough it needs to be. The more you want people to know that you will really fight the enemy to the death if they provoke you.

Otherwise, the enemy will only become more and more unscrupulous.

"Master, could it be that someone wants to use this to lure us out?" asked the Jindan elder who spoke first.

As long as they stay in the sect, with the help of the mountain protection formation, even the Nascent Soul cultivators will not be able to do anything to them. But if they leave, they will most likely be attacked and killed by cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage.

If Qinglu Sect also had cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage, and others dared to attack and kill them, the Jindan cultivators, then Qinglu Sect could completely fight back, but the problem is that Qinglu Sect does not have any Nascent Soul cultivators now.

"Then let me go."

Zhuo Suzhu, the elder of the Law Enforcement Hall who had remained silent, stood up. With her fighting power, she could exchange a few moves against a Nascent Soul cultivator.

"no!"

Gao Yunrui directly refused. Given Zhuo Suzhu's condition, she could no longer carry out high-intensity combat. Otherwise, the fire in her body would be unable to be suppressed, and Zhuo Suzhu would go completely crazy.

It can be said that Zhuo Suzhu is now a trump card of Qinglu Sect, a trump card that will ultimately lead to the destruction of the sect together with the enemy. Gao Yunrui will not let Zhuo Suzhu take action unless it is absolutely necessary.

But it is an indisputable fact that the elite disciples in the sect were ambushed and killed. However, the ones who took action this time were not cultivators in the Golden Core realm, and the highest were only foundation-building cultivators.

It seems that the enemy does not want others to know their identities. After all, Jindan cultivators are too conspicuous. If you send out more than a few of them, people will easily notice your identity.

The Yuanying Sect in the outer sea does not want to expose its intention to seize the Qinglu Sect now, which will make other Yuanying Sects in the local area uneasy.

Besides, the Foundation Establishment Stage is enough to kill those disciples whose cultivation base is mostly in the Qi Refining Stage. For the few in the Foundation Establishment Stage, at most a few more people of the same level can be sent to kill them.

Both sides are disciples of the Yuanying Sect, so the difference in combat power will not be too big.

"Let's send a few more deacons to provide support." Finally, Gao Yunrui made a decision to suppress the level of this incident to the foundation-building level.

If the opponent wants to use the golden elixir combat power, the Qinglu Sect will have no choice but to follow. As for the disciples participating in this true teaching trial, they can only accept this cruel baptism.

Gao Yunrui and the other Jindan elders present had encountered much greater dangers in the past. At that time, the sect still had Yuanying ancestors, and they had no protectors when they participated in the true transmission trial. They had to fight all the way.

For the sake of safety, Gao Yunrui arranged protectors for all the disciples who took part in the true teaching experiment. It must be said that this arrangement was indeed a great help.

There are protectors who stop the enemies who are also in the Foundation Establishment Stage, and those disciples only have to face enemies who are also in the Qi Refining Stage. To become the one in a million true disciples, they need to have an invincible talent in the same realm.

Otherwise, even if one becomes a true disciple and obtains the sect's precious golden elixir resource, it will still be difficult to embark on the golden elixir path in the end.

"interesting!"

He Shaogang soon learned about the reaction of Qinglu Sect, which was just in their interests. Originally, the sect He Shaogang belonged to had no intention of letting the Jindan cultivator take action. The Jindan cultivator who came now was just to intercept the Jindan from Qinglu Sect.

Since both parties have tacitly agreed not to deploy Jindan-level combat forces, this is naturally the best option.

After completing the counterattack against the enemy on the other side, Gu Mo and the other two used the navigation of the jade piece to arrive at the mission location, a remote town on the border of a mortal kingdom.

There were no living people in this town anymore. There were only bones everywhere. The flesh, blood, and souls of those mortals had been devoured by the evil cultivator and turned into nourishment for his evil skills.

The tragic scene before them made Gu Mo and the other two look unhappy. They were also furious at the evil cultivator's actions. Killing mortals to practice evil methods was absolutely a taboo for cultivators.

"Go and see if we can find any clues about that evil cultivator." Taking a deep breath, Gu Mo calmed down his anger and began to search in the town.

The result was naturally nothing. Gu Mo had expected this. The evil cultivator would not be so easy to find, otherwise, the sect would not have sent people several times but failed to capture him.

Just as Gu Mo and the other two were searching for clues, a pair of eyes were staring at them in the darkness in the distance.

Yuan Niya and Chu Feifei were not aware of the gaze from afar, but Gu Mo sensed it at the first moment. This was the advantage of having spiritual awareness, especially since his apparent cultivation level was only at the Qi Refining Stage. If Gu Mo was at the Foundation Establishment Stage, the person observing him would definitely choose to keep a distance, out of the range of the spiritual awareness of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

However, whether Gu Mo's cultivation level is apparent or hidden, it is the Qi Refining Stage. People who observe him will naturally keep the distance within the Qi Refining Stage, and such a range is completely within the detection range of Gu Mo's spiritual sense.

Just when he was worried about having no clues for the mission, a man suddenly showed up. Gu Mo naturally did not hesitate, he just flashed over and captured the man.

"Who are you? I am a disciple of Qinglu Sect!" The man caught by Gu Mo exclaimed. He did not expect that he would be discovered from such a distance.

"You are a menial disciple, what are you doing here?" Seeing Gu Mo grabbing a man who was still wearing the Qinglu Sect's menial disciple uniform, Yuan Niya was a little curious.

"I accepted a mission from the sect to collect intelligence on evil cultivators. If you do anything bad to me and are discovered by my sect, you won't be able to escape." The errand disciple looked at Gu Mo and the other two, but they were all disguised, so he naturally couldn't recognize them.

"We are here to handle this matter. Please tell us the information you know." Upon hearing that there was a chores disciple collecting intelligence, Yuan Niya's eyes lit up. Isn't this the breakthrough for the mission?
