Family Cultivation: Rise of the Wilderness

Chapter 117 Liu Xianyi

As early as when he came to look for Tang Xueyan, Li Xiangming had already sent a signal to Nie Rong.

Seeing Nie Rong at this time was not unexpected.

But the fact that outsiders were following Nie Rong was something he never expected.

Upon their meeting, Li Xiangming quickly learned the details.

It's likely that Nie Rong was in a hurry to get somewhere and didn't bother to conceal his magical power, which allowed someone to discover him with divine sense.

The other party tracked them all the way here.

"If Nie Rong was exposed, he probably didn't come for the Blackwater Serpent."

Li Xiangming felt slightly relieved, but at the same time felt a pang of regret.

Nie Rong was ultimately just a puppet, lacking the ability to adapt to changing circumstances.

If it were Li Xiangru and the others, they would definitely have changed direction beforehand to prevent the Blackwater Serpent from being exposed.

Now, it's too late.

A shadow flew over and paused for a moment when it saw Li Xiangming before revealing itself.

The newcomer was a young man, dressed in a moon-white robe with a dark jade-inlaid belt in the middle. He had an elegant and gentle demeanor and was exceptionally handsome.

"Who are you?"

Before the other party could speak, Li Xiangming asked first. He thought it would be a thief cultivator who coveted Nie Rong, but judging from the other party's appearance, he seemed to be from a noble family.

My name is Liu Xianyi.

The young man first bowed before replying, but suddenly his expression turned anxious, and the words he was about to say changed: "Fellow Daoists, save me!"

"save you?"

Li Xiangming was completely baffled, just as he was about to say something.

Suddenly, his consciousness reacted, and his expression changed drastically.

Without time to think it through, Li Xiangming and Nie Rong retreated together, and Liu Xianyi also couldn't avoid them and left the spot.

In the blink of an eye, a terrifying magical power swept over, burning everything in its path.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, countless demonic beasts cried out in terror and scattered in all directions. The spot where Li Xiangming and the others had just stood was now razed to the ground.

"What the hell is this?"

Li Xiangming, who had avoided the area early on, watched this scene with a tremor in his heart.

"The power of a magical artifact is unmatched."

Liu Xianyi, who was not far away, spoke cautiously.

"Spiritual weapon?"

Li Xiangming's expression changed again. In the cultivation world, magical artifacts that communicate with spirits are called spiritual artifacts.

According to Li Huinan, the evil green robe he wore was an unformed spiritual artifact.

If the evil green-robed man gave him such great help, what kind of power must the formed spiritual weapon be?

As the smoke and dust dissipated, the "spiritual weapon" came into Li Xiangming's view; it was an ancient, simple spear that emitted a faint, eerie light.

A woman with a beautiful face and a lithe figure, dressed in black, stepped forward, drew her spear, and stared coldly at Liu Xianyi.

"You cunning thief, you've been lying in ambush all along."

"Wait a moment."

Li Xiangming immediately realized the misunderstanding. He was busy subduing the Black Water Serpent and had no time to get involved in their troubles. So he quickly said, "Your affairs have nothing to do with me."

Before he could finish speaking, Liu Xianyi interrupted him, saying, "Are you scared? If you are, hurry up and leave. My two brothers are both brave enough to take on ten thousand men."

"afraid?"

Upon hearing this, the woman in black flew into a rage, brandishing her spear and unleashing a torrent of magical power that stirred the surrounding air.

"I'd like to see who's afraid!"

As soon as he finished speaking, three black dragons rushed out and attacked the three of them.

"boom!"

"Boom!"

Explosions rang out one after another, and the scene in front of the woman in black was a complete mess.

"This woman"

Li Xiangming had no choice but to fly into the air, his face extremely pale.

With such a commotion, the Lesser Five Elements Mystery Formation could hardly conceal it, and the Black Water Serpent had probably already heard the commotion.

If it hides, Tang Xueyan simply cannot stop it.

In other words, all his efforts these past few days had been in vain. Thinking of this, a nameless rage surged within Li Xiangming.

“Fellow Daoists, this spear is called the Ganglong Spear. It has been nurtured for a hundred years, and its magical power is ten times that of you and me combined. If we let her run rampant like this, we will all die without a burial place.”

At this moment, Liu Xianyi spoke up anxiously.

It is common sense that a prolonged defense will inevitably lead to defeat, and the opponent can use the magic power in the Ganglong Spear to exhaust it indefinitely, so the three of them simply cannot "defend" it.

Li Xiangming was well aware of this principle.

He also knew that Liu Xianyi was inviting him to help.

But if he intervenes, it will only compound his mistake and make the woman in black believe that he is Liu Xianyi's accomplice.

The woman in black wasn't very skilled; she appeared to be only at the seventh level of Qi Refining, far from being his match.

However, the opponent possessed a magical artifact from who-knows-where. In the face of such a artifact, even if he were at the eighth level of Qi Refining, or even at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, he would be reduced to ashes.

Therefore, no matter how Liu Xianyi tried to persuade him, he ignored him.

To be honest, this guy knew he couldn't win, so he shifted the blame elsewhere; he's a bad apple in his own right.

However, Li Xiangming didn't have time to pay attention to this guy; all he wanted now was for the person in front of him to leave.

Unfortunately, the woman in black was stubborn and wouldn't listen to Li Xiangming's explanations. She attacked Liu Xianyi while also targeting Li Xiangming and Nie Rong.

The Ganglong Spear was incredibly powerful, and it put Li Xiangming and Nie Rong in grave danger several times.

"What is this all about?"

Li Xiangming secretly groaned, wishing he could just leave.

However, he was also worried that the Blackwater Serpent had not yet left, and that if he left, the battlefield would spread to the deep pool behind.

He considered the Blackwater Serpent his own possession and would never allow outsiders to covet it.

With this in mind, Li Xiangming gritted his teeth and persevered.

On the other side, Liu Xianyi saw that Li Xiangming refused to leave.

Staying means a three-on-one situation, leaving means a one-on-one situation.

How could he not understand such a simple arithmetic problem?

For a time, the situation reached a stalemate.

Although the woman in black possessed a magical artifact, she managed to force Li Xiangming and his two companions into a series of defeats.

However, her combat experience seemed ordinary, and she did not fully control the black dragon magic released from the Ganglong Spear, giving the three of them a chance to catch their breath each time.

Li Xiangming, though aware of the danger, managed to keep the battlefield in place by maneuvering around the area.

But this can't go on forever.

After all, the magical power of the three people could not compare with that of the magical artifact.

Once your magic power is exhausted, all your thoughts and experience will be worthless.

“Fellow Daoists, we can’t delay any longer. This woman is insane and doesn’t listen to anyone. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been chased all the way here.”

Liu Xianyi once again used telepathy to try to persuade Li Xiangming.

This time, Li Xiangming became conflicted.

Judging by the timeline, if the Blackwater Serpent escapes, Tang Xueyan will definitely come to inform him.

But Tang Xueyan has not yet appeared. Does this mean that the Blackwater Serpent is still in the deep pool?

Therefore, he cannot leave easily.

"Even if the three of us join forces, we might not be able to defeat them."

Li Xiangming finally replied to Liu Xianyi.

Liu Xianyi was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Fellow Daoist, rest assured, I have a treasure that can temporarily restrict the Ganglong Spear, but once I make my move, I will be unable to concentrate. To subdue this woman, I will need the two of you."

Upon hearing this, Li Xiangming's eyes flickered. If he didn't have to face the Ganglong Spear directly, he was confident he could deal with a female cultivator at the seventh level of Qi Refining.

"We'll act together next time she makes a move."

Li Xiangming quickly devised a strategy, but the other side was being unreasonable, and he didn't want to sit idly by and wait to be defeated.

"Hmph, they're all in cahoots."

The woman in black looked at him with disdain. Although she couldn't hear him, she could clearly see the exchange of consciousness between Li Xiangming and her companion.

Without wasting words, she immediately rushed towards the three of them.

With a dragon's roar, the Ganglong Spear once again transformed into three black dragons, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws.

Faced with the powerful offensive, Li Xiangming remained calm, using the massive flow of water to lift him from the ground into the sky, briefly evading the black dragon.

Then, the water burst open, and several waterspouts rushed down towards the woman in black.
