Chapter 26
Since Mu Qiqi had already said so, the back mountain disciple could not continue to stop her.
Stop her? What could he do to stop her? He didn’t have a sect leader as a father!
Moreover, if Senior Sister Mu were to get angry and beat him up later, he wouldn’t even have a place to complain to!
This was Mu Qiqi, the princess of the Qingyun Sect, who could do whatever she wanted!
Left with no choice, the back mountain disciple unwillingly brought the few of them towards the mountain peak where Lu Yuan was.
The back mountain of Qingyun Sect wasn’t really just one mountain, but a whole range of mountains.
After flying for some distance, the group stopped in front of a mountain peak in the middle of the back mountain range.
In the sky, Mu Qiqi looked at the ordinary-looking mountain peak and asked in confusion, “This is the place you said had ghosts? Why don’t I see anything strange?”
The back mountain disciple looked at the mountain peak below and said with a lingering fear, “Senior sister, before Junior Brother Lu Yuan arrived, this mountain peak was still normal. However, two years after he came, many strange things appeared on this mountain peak. It’s very difficult for me to use words to describe it. Senior Sister, you’ll know when you go down and take a look. By the way, Senior Sister, remember not to fly there directly. If you want to go, it’s best…”
Without waiting for the disciple to finish speaking, Mu Qiqi impatiently flew toward the mountain peak.
What did he mean by don’t fly over? This was the back mountain of the Qingyun Sect! Did he understand the value of the words “Qingyun Sect”? As the daughter of the sect leader, there weren’t many places in Qingyun Sect that she couldn’t go to!
Just as Mu Qiqi was about to reach the mountain peak, a few rocks on the top of the mountain suddenly moved.
“An unfamiliar cultivator has been detected approaching, cultivation… Foundation Establishment Stage.”
“Activate level two alert status.”
Boom!
Along with four loud sounds, four giant rocks on the mountaintop actually turned around and aimed at Mu Qiqi.
Upon seeing this, Mu Qiqi suddenly felt a sense of danger.
Something was wrong. There was something very wrong with these four stones!
Mu Qiqi took a closer look. Those things on the top of the mountain weren’t rocks but four puppets disguised as stones!
The puppets were already in an activated state.
“Warning, warning. This is the restricted area of the Qingyun Sect’s back mountain. Visitors, please hand over an invitation or match the passcode. Otherwise, please leave as soon as possible.”
Passcode?
Hearing the emotionless voice of the puppet, Mu Qiqi was instantly interested.
With this in mind, Mu Qiqi approached the mountain peak and shouted, “Passcode: I’m the best in the world!”
When the back mountain disciple saw how confident Mu Qiqi was, they thought that she really knew what the passcode was and were all very shocked.
But how would Mu Qiqi know about the passcode? She was just shouting something for fun.
As expected, not long after Mu Qiqi finished her words, the entire valley instantly became lively.
“Passcode error, passcode error. The enemy is approaching the danger zone. Level one alert status activated.”
“Warning, warning, the enemy has entered the danger zone. Defense mode activated!”
The four puppets aimed in Mu Qiqi’s direction, and their round bodies began to split.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThen, four huge gun barrels appeared in the split stomach of the rocks.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
With four loud bangs, four huge green fireballs were blasted toward Mu Qiqi.
When Mu Qiqi saw this, she suddenly recalled that when she had captured Lu Yuan back then, he had also used green flame fireballs.
Mu Qiqi, who was a battle maniac, was instantly excited.
He was the one who started it!
“Good!”
Mu Qiqi raised her hand and pointed forward, and the sword pellet at her waist instantly flew out.
Qingyun · Giant Sword Technique!
Four giant swords cut through the sky and flew toward the green flame fireballs.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
After the huge sword and the fireball collided, a shocking explosion was heard.
Terrifying green flames immediately spread in the sky.
Seeing that Mu Qiqi wasn’t that easy to deal with, the four puppets launched another attack.
Previously, they had been in single-shot mode, but now they instantly switched to continuous mode.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Dense green flame fireballs started to fly toward Mu Qiqi.
Each of these fireballs had the power of a level 1 Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator who went all out.
Not to mention that the green flame was a heavenly flame, so the fireballs were not so easy to defend against.
Thus, the dense rain of green flame fireballs was enough to threaten cultivators below level 2 of the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Unfortunately, they were now facing Mu Qiqi, who was at level 7 of the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Perhaps Mu Qiqi found it interesting, but she wasn’t in a hurry to destroy the puppets.
Instead, she flicked her finger and had the four giant swords return to her side. They formed a unique defensive barrier while flying at high speed.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A large number of green fireballs immediately bombarded Mu Qiqi’s giant sword barrier, causing incessant explosion sounds.
What Mu Qiqi didn’t notice was that while the four puppets were frantically attacking her, a puppet twice the size of a normal puppet had silently appeared on the ground of the mountaintop.
If it hadn’t appeared on its own, perhaps even if the enemy got close, it would be difficult for outsiders to discover its existence.
Not only was this puppet much larger than the other puppets, but its structure was also much more complicated.
Moreover, its appearance was different from the other round-shaped puppets. It had the appearance of a living creature, very similar to an earthworm or lizard.
After the lizard puppet appeared, it opened its mouth and aimed at Mu Qiqi who was above its head.
In an instant, Mu Qiqi felt an even greater green flame power brewing on the ground.
She lowered her head and saw the two-meter-long earthworm puppet.
What was this?
As she looked at the two-meter-long earthworm puppet, Mu Qiqi took out an item from her storage bag, a low-grade magic item called the Black Iron Bell.
The Black Iron Bell immediately enlarged after it appeared and completely enveloped Mu Qiqi.
The earthworm puppet attacked almost at the same time that Mu Qiqi assumed a defensive stance.
A green flame fireball that was much larger than an ordinary puppet was instantly shot out.
Boom!
The fireball landed on Mu Qiqi’s Black Iron Bell and exploded.
The power of this fireball was almost equivalent to the full power of a level 3 Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator.
Fortunately, Mu Qiqi’s cultivation was quite profound. Otherwise, this green flame fireball would have been enough to make her suffer.
At this time, the other disciples of the Qingyun Sect were dumbfounded.
No, was this still the back mountain of the Qingyun Sect that they were familiar with?
What was with these puppets? Since when did the sect have a senior brother or elder who was good at puppet refinement?
Also, what the hell was this green flame fireball?
Since when were puppets able to use the heavenly flame divine ability?
Although they were shocked by the situation, they were not worried about Mu Qiqi.
What a joke, was a Foundation Establishment Stage Level 7 cultivator just for show?
Let alone being able to hurt Mu Qiqi, these green fireballs probably couldn’t even let her warm up.
At this moment, Mu Qiqi had more or less understood the principles behind these puppets.
In fact, the structure of these puppets was not exquisite. Rather, they could even be said to have rough craftsmanship.
The only thing that these puppets were commendable about was the green flame fireballs they shot out.
But in reality, the green flame fireballs were not attacks that ordinary people understood to be condensed from spiritual energy.
The nature of these green flame fireballs was the effect of the explosion of pills.
That’s right, these puppets weren’t actually shooting out normal green flame fireballs. Instead, they were shooting out special pills that were condensed from the green flame.
After understanding this, Mu Qiqi didn’t intend to continue playing.
Boring, after all this, these puppets were just pill shooters!
However, just as she was about to do something, a figure hurriedly flew out of the residence on the mountaintop.
“It’s a misunderstanding, it’s all a misunderstanding. Are the senior brothers and sisters alright?”
Mu Qiqi put away the Black Iron Bell and looked at Lu Yuan, who flew to her on his sword.
She was stunned at first, then she said in surprise, “To think that even you can break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage. No, it doesn’t seem to be the case yet… So it turns out that you have Foundation Establishment Stage spiritual energy, but you haven’t completely condensed your Foundation Establishment Stage spiritual roots! That’s strange, why don’t you go to the sect to exchange for a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation method and then condense your Foundation Establishment Stage spiritual root?”
She clearly remembered that Lu Yuan’s spiritual root aptitudes were mediocre and he was at the bottom of the pack among his peers. But now, he already had Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation and was only one cultivation technique away from officially becoming a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator.
The reason why she knew about Lu Yuan so well was that he was the first “criminal” she had personally caught.
Since he was her first, it was normal for her to investigate him after his arrest.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter hearing these words, the corner of Lu Yuan’s mouth twitched.
Was she even being polite? What did she mean by even he could break through? He was very strong, okay?
Resisting the urge to refute, Lu Yuan sized up Mu Qiqi.
He naturally would not forget this princess of the sect who had captured him four years ago.
In addition, his puppets had just ruthlessly attacked her, so he was more or less in the wrong.
Hence, Lu Yuan could only lower his stance and politely say, “Junior Brother Lu Yuan greets Senior Sister Mu. Replying to the senior sister, I have been diligently cultivating these past few years and have indeed luckily reached the Foundation Establishment Stage. I’m currently planning to deal with the matter of the cultivation technique.”
Mu Qiqi nodded, “You do seem quite lucky. To think with your spiritual root aptitude, you were still able to break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage. What else can it be if not luck?”
Damn it, did she even have any emotional intelligence? Why did she keep saying that his spiritual root aptitudes weren’t good enough? Did she really think that she was so great because she had the sect leader as her father?
Hmm… It was indeed quite great.
To be honest, Mu Qiqi’s blabbermouth was not Lu Yuan’s biggest headache.
The thing that gave him the biggest headache was actually Mu Qiqi finding out that he had reached the Foundation Establishment Stage.
This meant that his plan to develop in secret was likely to end today.
Why did she, the princess of the Qingyun Sect, suddenly come to the back mountain, a place where even birds didn’t visit to take a shit?
Also, did she have nothing better to do than come to his mountain peak?
Didn’t she know that she shouldn’t approach someone else’s mountain without prior notice? It was very impolite!
One must know that Lu Yuan was worried that he would be ambushed by enemies while he was cultivating and had thus arranged many defensive measures around his mountain.
These techniques included but were not limited to puppets, arrays, and mechanisms.
They ensured that cultivators below level 5 of the Foundation Establishment Stage could not easily approach him.
Even if a cultivator higher than level 5 of the Foundation Establishment Stage were to approach, he would be able to learn about the situation in advance from the activation of the defensive array and thus decide how to deal with it.
When Lu Yuan saw that the one who triggered his defensive array was actually the sect’s princess, Mu Qiqi, he immediately knew that the situation was not good.
Never mind the other circumstances, he most probably couldn’t hide the fact that he had broken through to the Foundation Establishment Stage any longer.
To prevent his cultivation from being exposed too early, he had used a few tricks to force the back mountain disciples near the peak away.
Unfortunately, no matter how much he thought about it, Lu Yuan had never expected the arrival of Mu Qiqi, the arrogant princess.
Although he had prepared a lot of backup plans and it was not a big deal to reveal a little of his cultivation, he still had one year of his five years of leisure time left!
Earlier, Lu Yuan really did not want to come out and meet Mu Qiqi.
However, after seeing Mu Qiqi’s unwillingness to leave, he was forced to come out.
If he let her continue, the defensive measures that he had set up not long ago would be completely exposed.
Therefore, Lu Yuan may seem very calm when talking to Mu Qiqi, but in fact, he was cursing in his heart despite the smile on his face.
When he thought about the troubles he might face in the future, the steady Lu Yuan was filled with anger.
She was the princess of the sect, why was she looking for trouble with him?
Go, quickly leave! They weren’t even close!
Although Lu Yuan thought this way, Mu Qiqi clearly didn’t think so.
She looked at Lu Yuan with eyes full of curiosity…
