Holding the space chat group, the cannon fodder female supporting role ascended

Chapter 719 Twists and Turns 3
Yunxi glanced at the leading body cultivator and said to Xunkun:

"Are there professional robbers among the cultivators in the Nine-Bend Mountain?"

Xun Kun was speechless looking at the four burly men in front of him, so he could only tell the truth:

"This is the first time I've encountered this either."

Last time, he was taken back by the Great Ascension True Venerable of the Heavenly Demon Palace and didn't even go through Nine Turns Mountain. This time, he left the Demon Realm's territory for the sake of taking on a disciple, and he didn't encounter any robbery then.

The body cultivator at the front of the group glanced disdainfully at the three adults and one child in front of him, then focused his attention on Xun Kun. Yun Xi looked too young and obviously wasn't the leader of the group. The other flashy male cultivator was even less impressive and probably couldn't withstand a punch from him.

The only kid was a mere mortal, someone he could crush with a single finger. However, the kid was their target for this mission, so after confirming the target was correct, he withdrew his gaze and coldly looked at Xun Kun, saying:
"Those who know what's good for them will hand over their storage rings."

Xun Kun snorted coldly and said:

"If you're so capable, come and get it yourselves."

"Out of control."

The male cultivator waved his hand, and a body cultivator rushed over from behind, his huge fist heading straight for Xun Kun's face.

Xun Kun moved slightly, turning his head to avoid the fist, and at the same time, delivered a powerful kick to the chest, sending the male cultivator flying. He was a body cultivator, and the inability to mobilize demonic power did not mean he was powerless to resist.

As the male cultivator was kicked away, Yunxi signaled Hanyang to keep an eye on Liao Ziqian, then grabbed the Seven Star Deadly Staff and rushed over. You should know that even without infusing spiritual power into it, her Seven Star Deadly Staff was a powerful weapon, and the five stars lit up on the staff were not fake.

With a loud "bang," the first body cultivator to confront Yun Xi was slammed into the ground by her staff, with only his head sticking out. He was clearly caught off guard, but Yun Xi wouldn't give him a chance to retaliate. She kicked another body cultivator who was rushing towards her away with a side kick, and then casually snapped the neck of the male cultivator embedded in the ground.

"Ah! I'm going to kill you!"

The leading male cultivator didn't expect that in just one encounter, one of their four would be eliminated.

Xun Kun shook the soul bell, and after the sound came out, the male cultivator who was attacking him again paused for half a breath. Even that half breath was enough for Xun Kun to punch through the opponent's dantian, and he also killed one person.

The remaining two body cultivators then abandoned their contempt and glared fiercely at the two. This time, they did not act rashly. Now it was three against two, and they did not know what tricks the Flower Butterfly male cultivator had. They did not want to die, so the two chose to retreat. However, Yun Xi would not give them a chance.

When the leading male cultivator glanced at Liao Ziqian, his gaze lingered for a moment longer, revealing a waiting-for-a-price look. Yun Xi immediately recognized that these people were clearly after Liao Ziqian, and she was certain that they were merely pawns in the hands of the mastermind.

So she gave Xun Kun a wink, and he understood immediately. The two of them flipped forward and each stopped one of the people.

Yunxi said with a wicked smile:
"Why are you running away now? Aren't you going to rob us anymore?"

The leading male cultivator was forced to fight back, throwing a powerful punch that landed squarely on Yunxi's Seven Star Deadly Staff, the sound of bones cracking clearly reaching the ears of everyone present.

The male cultivator quickly withdrew his fist and retreated, cold sweat pouring from his forehead. He knew his fist was useless.

Yunxi, using the Fufeng Step, quickly arrived in front of her opponent, shattering his kneecap with a single blow, preventing his escape. Then, she crouched down, reached out and pinched the ankle of his other foot, and asked coldly:

"Who sent you to rob us?"

"I have no idea."

With a crisp "crack," Yun Xi decisively crushed the other person's ankle bone, then moved upwards to the shinbone and continued asking:
"Think it over before you speak. Who sent you to rob us?"

The male cultivator's eyes were red with pain, and he regretted provoking these people. His lips trembled as he said:
"I really haven't seen the person who issued the mission. They wanted us to take that boy back. We thought you were easy to bully and wanted to rob you. We specifically chose Jiuqu Mountain because it's a place that can restrain your strength. I didn't expect..." Before she could finish speaking, Yunxi heard a scream. The moment she turned around, Liao Ziqian was being dragged away and disappeared from their sight. Hanyang was about to chase after them when Yunxi called out to him:
"Han Yang, activate Bing Chan."

Han Yang gritted his teeth and nodded. A moment later, he nodded to Yun Xi, indicating that he had found Liao Ziqian's trail.

Yunxi then snapped the neck of the leading male cultivator without hesitation, and looked at Xun Kun, who had just finished off another body cultivator. He had punched the other man's head off in anger, which showed how hard Xun Kun's fist was.

Han Yang spoke first:

“These four body cultivators were specifically there to distract you two, with the aim of kidnapping Liao Ziqian. He was dragged away after a brown vine wrapped around his ankle. This is a forbidden area for spirits, so I didn’t notice it immediately.”

Xun Kun remained relatively calm, but his tightly pursed lips betrayed his bad mood. He looked at Han Yang and said:

"Can we track down Ziqian?"

“Yes, Ranxi had me mark Liao Ziqian before we entered here. My Xiao Chan has already entered his body and will guide us.”

Han Yang replied solemnly.

Yunxi said calmly:
"Then let's not waste any more time and find Ziqian first. This time, you can lead the way."

"it is good."

Without saying a word, Han Yang patted the Cicada King in his arms and strode to the front.

Xun Kun followed closely behind, while Yun Xi walked alongside him.

"I didn't expect them to be so impatient. It seems they have already discovered Ziqian's special qualities."

"The previous attack on the spaceship by the corrupted bats was a test. They didn't expect that there were three Nascent Soul cultivators on our airship, so in order to lull us into a false sense of security, they didn't take any further action until we entered the Nine Turns Mountain before they began to implement their plan."

Those four body cultivators were just cannon fodder, their purpose being to hold us back so that the people lying in ambush behind us could kidnap Liao Ziqian. Fortunately, I sensed something was wrong and had already had Hanyang mark Ziqian.

Xun Kun continued walking, speaking with some impatience:

“Since they want Ziqian, they probably won’t harm him. I’m just afraid they’ll use evil energy to infuse him and ruin his cultivation path.”

Yunxi narrowed her eyes. She agreed with Xun Kun's prediction, so they had to be quick. However, she still reassured him:

"Xun Kun, don't worry. Even if they do that, I have a way to expel the evil energy from Zi Qian's body."

However, after this incident, you'd better tell Ziqian all these facts to prevent him from being misled. Simply concealing the truth isn't the best protection. We need to help him establish his Dao heart as soon as possible; otherwise, when that day truly comes, neither you nor I can prevent him from becoming a mere vessel for the heart of an evil god.

“Ranxi, you’re right. I thought we still had time before, but now it seems the evil cultivators are even more anxious than us. They don’t even have time to plan slowly and have chosen to use such a direct and brutal method.”

"Yes, precisely because they are in a hurry, we must not be in a hurry. We must be steady, because it is easy to make mistakes if we are in a hurry."

At this moment, Liao Ziqian had lost consciousness and was carried out of Jiuqu Mountain in the arms of a heretical cultivator.
