A reincarnated girl, who begins by possessing a cultivator.

A hunched-over man in black said in a sinister tone.

Behind him stood a woman in black with a cold expression, holding a pair of short blades that gleamed with a cold light.

"Just the two of you?"

Xie Zhi Qiu snorted coldly, and the Spring Dawn Sword in his hand suddenly burst out with a dazzling green light, spreading out a powerful force of life.

"Spring Sword Technique - All Things Revive"

Xie Zhi Qiu let out a low shout and slashed out with his sword.

The green sword energy transformed into countless tender green vines in the air, sweeping towards the two Shadow Pavilion cultivators like a tidal wave.

These vines not only possess powerful binding force, but they can also absorb the opponent's magical power, making them extremely strange.

"A trivial skill."

The Shadow Pavilion cultivator snorted coldly, his body suddenly transforming into two black shadows, dodging the vines' entanglement like ghosts, and rushing towards Xie Zhi Qiu and Mei Ruo Shui once again.

"Ruoshui, cooperate with me."

Xie Zhi Qiu shouted and swung the Spring Dawn Sword in his hand again. This time, the sword energy was no longer vines, but transformed into petals flying all over the sky, falling like spring rain.

"Flowing Water Sword Technique: Nourishing Things Silently".

Mei Ruoshui understood immediately and simultaneously swung her blue flying sword.

The blue sword energy transformed into raindrops in the air, intertwining with Xie Zhi Qiu's petal-shaped sword energy to form a unique sword energy domain.

Within this area, the speed of the Shadow Pavilion cultivators was clearly affected, and their figures became less eerie.

"Damn it, junior sister, be careful. These two seem to be able to coordinate their methods."

The male cultivator from the Shadow Pavilion immediately lost his previous arrogance.

The sword techniques and attributes practiced by Xie Zhi Qiu and Mei Ruo Shui were perfectly suited for trapping enemies.

"Chance."

A glint flashed in Xie Zhi Qiu's eyes, and the Spring Dawn Sword shot out like a venomous snake, stabbing towards one of the Dark Shadow Pavilion cultivators.

The Shadow Pavilion cultivator's expression changed drastically. He tried to transform into a shadow again to evade, but found that his body was bound by an invisible force, slowing him down by half a beat.

"puff!"

As the sword light flashed, the female cultivator from the Shadow Pavilion screamed as her body was pierced by the sword energy, turning into a stream of light and being teleported out of the Heavenly Beast Valley.

"Junior sister?"

Upon seeing this, the male cultivator from the Shadow Pavilion let out a roar, his eyes filled with madness.

He no longer concealed himself, but instead, wielding a short blade, launched a suicidal attack on Xie Zhi Qiu.

"Be careful."

Mei Ruoshui's expression changed, and she quickly stood in front of Xie Zhiqi, her blue flying sword bursting with dazzling light, forming a water shield.

The short blade collided with the water shield, producing a deafening roar. Mei Ruoshui groaned, her body jolted backward, a trickle of blood escaping from the corner of her mouth.

"Ruoshui".

Xie Zhi Qiu was shocked and quickly helped Mei Ruo Shui up.

Mei Ruoshui had only just established her foundation, making her the weakest among the Core Formation cultivators present in terms of strength.

The flying sword in Xie Zhi Qiu's hand erupted with powerful energy, and an even more magnificent life force spread out.

"Spring Sword Technique: Withered Trees Come Back to Life".

Wherever the sword energy passed, even the surrounding trees seemed to come back to life.

However, this seemingly vibrant sword strike actually contains a deadly danger.

The Shadow Pavilion cultivator dodged quickly, but what he didn't expect was that vines shot out from the forest beneath his feet, piercing towards him like sword energy.

He was caught off guard and entangled by the vines, and the vines seemed to possess a life-snatching power.

"Do not."

The Shadow Pavilion cultivator let out a scream as his body transformed into a streak of light and was teleported away.

The two from the Shadow Pavilion were too confident. If they had encountered a swordsman who was primarily focused on combat, they might have been able to put up a fight, but if they encountered a swordsman who was skilled at trapping and controlling enemies, they would have been at a great disadvantage.

Having dealt with the two Core Formation cultivators from the Shadow Pavilion, Xie Zhi Qiu quickly helped Mei Ruo Shui up and asked anxiously, "Ruo Shui, how are you?"

Mei Ruoshui shook her head, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and said with a wry smile, "It's nothing, just a minor injury. I'll be fine after a while."

Xie Zhi Qiu finally breathed a sigh of relief, took out a healing pill from his storage bag, and handed it to Mei Ruo Shui.

"This place is not safe to stay any longer, let's leave quickly."

Xie Zhiqi said, a hint of wariness flashing in his eyes.

The battle just now was quite a commotion, and it must have attracted the attention of other cultivators.

Mei Ruoshui nodded, took the pill, and the two of them once again activated their escape light, chasing after the fluctuations of the treasure they had sensed earlier.

Chapter 105 Core Formation Battle

The magical artifacts crisscrossed the sky above Heavenly Beast Valley, and the clashes between Core Formation cultivators were as dazzling as fireworks, far surpassing the petty squabbles of Foundation Establishment cultivators.

As Xie Zhi Qiu helped Mei Ruo Shui fly to an area where no one was fighting, they immediately saw dozens of figures fighting around a ball of crimson light in the northeast direction.

"What kind of treasure is this? Judging from its aura, it's probably at least a top-grade magic weapon for Core Formation."

Mei Ruoshui pointed to the flickering flame.

Xie Zhi Qiu glanced at it and then shook his head.

"Even the best treasures are not something we should bother with. Oh no, they're coming this way."

As Xie Zhi Qiu watched, he noticed that the group of people and the treasure suddenly flew towards them.

Before he could finish speaking, a piercing shriek suddenly came from the southwest.

A gray shadow, accompanied by a shower of poisonous needles, suddenly appeared, and it was a Core Formation cultivator from the Ten Thousand Poisons Valley who had made his move. The newcomer was also a late-stage Core Formation cultivator, and should be the Grand Elder of the Ten Thousand Poisons Valley.

Before the poisoned needle even hit the ground, a strange green mist rose in the air. Several early-stage Core Formation cultivators who couldn't dodge in time instantly turned black and collapsed, teleported away by the restriction.

In a direct confrontation, someone at the early stage of Core Formation would be unable to withstand even a single blow from someone at the late stage.

"Ruoshui, let's go quickly, we can't join in this excitement."

Xie Zhi Qiu decisively grabbed Mei Ruo Shui, raised his sword, cleaved through the poisonous fog, and rushed out. Fortunately, they weren't the target, otherwise they would have been doomed too.

Just as the two were out of danger, they saw a golden figure emerge from the poisonous creatures.

Upon closer inspection, it was indeed Tantai Yuexi.

A compass-like magical artifact hovered in her hand, precisely locking onto a streak of earth-yellow light—an earth-attribute defensive magic treasure.

"Treasures left behind by Xuan Guang Pavilion."

Just as Tantai Yuexi obtained the treasure, a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator chased after her.

Tantai Yuexi snorted coldly and immediately turned and fled.

"The fellow Daoists from Xuan Guang Pavilion are quite skilled."

Mei Ruoshui said enviously.

They were all early-stage Core Formation cultivators, yet they completely lacked such abilities.

Tantai Yuexi didn't just keep running away. After a while, she suddenly flipped her wrist, and three array flags flew out of her hand, setting up a simple trapping array in mid-air, temporarily trapping the pursuer.

"Stop chasing. Once something is in my hands, I won't let even a late-stage Core Formation cultivator try to take it from me."

Tantai Yuexi snorted coldly, left a sentence and fled. After she was far away, the array flags transformed into three streams of light and flew towards her.

"hateful."

The mid-stage Core Formation cultivator was furious that he had chased for so long for nothing, but he didn't continue the pursuit.

Xie Zhi Qiu also sighed.

"With such mastery of formations, no wonder he dares to act alone."

At this time, the Heavenly Beast Valley had become a complete quagmire. Both sides were fighting fiercely for the treasures, regardless of whether they were on the same side or not.

On the other side, Zhou Zhen's Ancient Sword Sect elder team was engaged in a fierce battle with the Nine Kingdoms Alliance's Four Extremes Sect. A battle formation composed of more than a dozen flying swords trapped several Core Formation cultivators in the center.

Xie Zhi Qiu and his wife originally didn't want to cause trouble. They just wanted to quietly collect some treasures that others didn't want. Low-grade magic weapons for the Core Formation stage would be fine, but magic weapons and ancient treasures for the Nascent Soul stage were something they wouldn't even dare to dream of.

Given their abilities, even if they obtained it, it would be difficult for them to keep it, so they wisely refrained from touching it.

But just then, Mei Ruoshui saw something unusual in the distance.

"Husband, look over there!"

Mei Ruoshui suddenly pointed to the center of the valley.

Xie Zhi Qiu immediately looked over.

Suddenly, a huge vortex appeared there, with several powerful magical artifacts spinning inside. Other treasures were also flying towards the vortex.

These treasures seem to have been forcibly gathered here by some force.

"It is Shi Jingtian, an elder of the Nine Kingdoms Alliance and the Heavenly Will Sect, at the peak of the Core Formation stage, and the direct disciple of Alliance Leader Wei."

At the center of the vortex, Shi Jingtian sat cross-legged, surrounded by nine bronze bells.

The sound of the bell caused ripples in the surrounding space. This was an ancient treasure called the Heaven-Locking Bell, whose sound could attract other magical artifacts.

The Heavenly Will Sect is the strongest sect in the Nine Kingdoms Alliance, and Wei Tianya is the Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Will Sect.

"This is bad! This person is trying to forcibly take away the treasures using treasures and formations. Fellow Daoists of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, we must stop him, or we are doomed to lose."

A Core Formation cultivator from the Heavenly Dao Alliance shouted.

As soon as the voice fell, the Core Formation cultivators that the Heavenly Dao Alliance could spare were all gathered towards Shi Jingtian.

Xie Zhi Qiu and Mei Ruo Shui's expressions also changed. There were several Nascent Soul level magic weapons and ancient treasures inside. If they were to take them away, the Heavenly Dao Alliance would be in grave danger.

The other Core Formation cultivators from the Heavenly Dao Alliance also understood this principle, so they all gathered around.

The two happened to be in this area, so they couldn't just stand by and do nothing, and flew over there as well.
