The abandoned cannon fodder girl's path to immortality

Chapter 181 The Battle of the Oriole
'what! '

Both of them cried out in pain, and in just a moment, they were awakened by the intense pain.

"She woke up so quickly. It seems this sonic sword is more painful than I imagined." Seeing this, Chen Jinshu's hands still didn't stop.

'Ding-dong... Dong-dong ding-ding...'

She simultaneously pressed and rubbed two acupoints with the middle fingers of both hands, creating a musical illusion once again.

The originally pale green sound waves also became distorted and coiled.

The burly man with a bushy beard roared as he clutched his bleeding neck, his voice carrying a faint golden light that clashed with Chen Jinshu's zither music.

The wound on his neck bled even more from his roar.

The golden light waves were eventually rippled away by the green sound waves.

The burly man was momentarily stunned, but quickly realized Chen Jinshu's cultivation level.

"He's actually a Foundation Establishment cultivator!" His face turned even paler.

The black-robed cultivator tried to slip away, but was pulled into an illusion by the sound of the zither that came again.

If Chen Jinshu's zither playing were still at the level it was during the outer sect competition, she probably wouldn't be able to keep the two of them. However, her zither skills have already improved further under her master's guidance.

If I were to fight Feng Lingchuan now, I would definitely not lose so easily.

The two people, once again pulled into the illusion, had their faces contorted, and even though they knew it was an illusion, they could not wake up.

This time, Chen Jinshu's target was no longer the neck, but the dantian and the heart.

'Whoosh!' Several more green arrows pierced through the dantian and hearts of the two men.

Until he sensed the two of them gradually losing their life force in the illusion, he collapsed to the ground.

Chen Jinshu then slowly began to play "Ode to the Return of Spring to the Earth's Veins".

Yinshan Sparrow flashed to the side of the two corpses and took away the two storage bags and two spirit beast bags.

However, her hands remained on the strings as she continued playing to restore her spiritual energy.

"You've been watching the battle for so long, it's time for you to show yourself."

Chen Jinshu spoke indifferently to his surroundings.

"Hahaha! I didn't expect to be discovered."

Two young men dressed as cultivators, wearing gold-embroidered crowns, emerged from the dense forest not far away, a hint of sneer on their faces.

"Brother Wang, could it be that you wish to show mercy to a beautiful woman?" a fellow cultivator asked the cultivator surnamed Wang.

"Hmph, this female cultivator is not bad looking either. If she is willing to become my concubine, I might consider letting her go." The cultivator surnamed Wang kept looking Chen Jinshu up and down, as if he were admiring a plaything.

Chen Jinshu felt slightly uncomfortable after sensing the man's gaze.

He immediately plucked the zither string with his ring finger, and the originally clear and beautiful sound of the zither instantly turned sad.

"Be careful! This woman is no ordinary person. Her zither skills alone can trap two peak Qi Refining cultivators in an illusion!" Upon hearing the zither music, the cultivator surnamed Wang immediately became alert, his left hand still clutching a white jade pendant.

A faint halo formed around them, enveloping the two of them.

"I never expected this magical artifact to be able to isolate sound; the person who came here is no ordinary individual!"

Chen Jinshu's eyes showed a slight surprise, but he did not show it. There were many magical artifacts in the cultivation world.

This time, she was just unlucky to have encountered an opponent who could counter sound manipulation.

The fact that her musical power could not reach their skin meant that her music could not harm them.

However, this does not mean that she has no chance of winning over either of them.

She subtly channeled a wisp of spiritual energy into the Azure Phoenix Pendant at her waist.

The jade pendant emitted a green light, and as she chanted the incantation, a summoning power surged outwards.

In the blink of an eye, a large number of spirit birds flew in from all directions.

There were four or five hundred of them, circling in the air several times before, under her control, they attacked the two people below. 'Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!' The sound of numerous spirit birds flapping their wings echoed through the dense forest.

"Where did so many birds come from!" The cultivator surnamed Wang was puzzled and immediately took out his spirit sword to defend himself.

'Clang Clang! '

'Whew!'

The two continued to scare away the spirit birds by swinging their swords.

However, there were simply too many spirit birds, and even with their swordsmanship, they couldn't kill them all.

Taking advantage of the moment when the two were fighting the spirit bird, Chen Jinshu quickly plucked the strings of his zither.

In an instant, the released music shifted into the gap in the battle, and the illusory power of the zither music immediately pulled the two into an illusion.

"It's really not easy!"

Chen Jinshu gave the Yinshan Sparrow a look, and it immediately flew forward and snatched the white jade pendant from the Wang surname cultivator's hand.

After driving away the surrounding sparrows, she immediately launched a powerful attack with her zither music.

It took considerable effort to finally kill the two men with his sword.

"The oriole is never the final victor!" Chen Jinshu deftly pulled the spiritual swords from the hearts of the two men.

She thought she would be the last bird to fall, but she didn't expect there to be an eagle behind her.

"I never expected it to be the Foundation Establishment stage of the Wang and Li families!"

Chen Jinshu found two tokens engraved with the names Wang and Li in the robes of the two men.

The Wang and Li families are among the top Golden Core families in the Xuanming Sect, yet they have contributed a significant amount of resources to the sect.

However, in recent years, these two families have gradually become more unruly, and have been secretly trying to expand their family territories.

It should be understood that the territories of each family are predetermined in order to keep the families in line with the sect's control.

Now that these families want to expand their territory, isn't this challenging the sect's bottom line?

Fortunately, both families were smart enough not to make such matters public, but instead secretly targeted the weaker families.

"Today I have helped the sect rid itself of two scourges."

She then placed the four corpses together and released spiritual fire to ignite them.

"Yinshan Tit! These spirit birds were rewarded?"

After all, she was able to get that sliver of opportunity only because of these spirit birds, so giving her some compensation can be considered as settling the karmic debt.

The Azure Phoenix's Cry was far more powerful than she had imagined. These spirit birds, driven by her, were extremely willing, as if they were accomplishing an extremely great task.

Therefore, they are surrounded by a strange aura, which allows them to survive even after being subjected to powerful attacks.

The spirit birds that had been slashed and left on the ground recovered nearly half of their strength after she fed them some rejuvenating pills and performed several healing procedures.

However, the luster of the Azure Phoenix Pendant dimmed somewhat as a result.

She inquired with the remnant soul of the Azure Phoenix inside and learned that the jade pendant was damaged. After each use, it needed to be nurtured in a place full of spiritual energy before it could be used again.

Chen Jinshu rode the Yinshan Sparrow and flew quickly towards the sect.

Having dealt with Li Chenliang in black robes, she felt much clearer inside and her mind was much more open than before.

After returning to Momei Garden, she took out the four storage bags and four magical artifacts she had obtained this time.

The quality is good, but only two of them are at the second tier, while the other two are at the first tier and of high quality.

Among several storage bags, she found a Foundation Establishment Pill and a large number of spiritual items.

The two family members who reached Foundation Establishment were the most numerous. They were able to break through to Foundation Establishment at the same age as Chen Jinshu, so they were no ordinary people.

They at least have a high enough status within the family.
