Zheng Le is a spy the Great Sima Nation planted in Beiju Luzhou.
His mission is to find “Blue Shadow Qiao Xiaoxian” and “Rebel Qing Yi.”
But he and those spy colleagues who toiled to forge identities and racked their brains to successfully infiltrate Beiju Luzhou… they could never have dreamed.
Qing Yi and Qiao Xiaoxian were just swaggering down the street.
Arrogantly, they didn’t even bother with the slightest disguise.
They walked side by side calmly, heading openly toward the Demon Kingdom.
As if they were completely unaware of the danger around them.
However, the first to launch an attack were not the Great Sima Nation forces or the Demon Kingdom forces, but some old friends.
“Hahaha! I’ve scoured every corner and found nothing, but now you come without any effort!”
Accompanied by this thunderous opening line, a dark mass of cultivators swarmed in, surrounding Jiang Ke’er and Qiao Xiaoxian from all sides.
Occasionally, shouts like “The Nanyue Wuji Sect and the Lingyun Taoist Temple are handling business! All unrelated fellow cultivators, please withdraw immediately!” could be heard.
Soon, the densely packed cultivators even blocked out the sunlight, forming a magnificent canopy of flesh.
The scene couldn’t help but remind Jiang Ke’er of the siege against Qiao Xiaoxian when she first arrived—a veritable gang-up on a world boss.
“Dragon Clan Saintess, you’ve got some nerve!” Wuji Sect Master Lingxu stood in the air, striking a pose as a righteous heavenly god. “After killing so many disciples of my Wuji Sect, you still dare to come back?”
Jiang Ke’er was too exasperated to even criticize the old man’s logic.
It was clearly you who coveted her dragon tendons and dragon hide, gathered a big crowd to besiege her, and ended up suffering heavy losses yourself… How can you pin that on her?
“Hmm…” Qiao Xiaoxian looked up in confusion. “Doesn’t the Xiao Kingdom have three major sects? Where’s Daguang Temple?”
“How dare you bring that up?”
Immediately, a large number of tonsured cultivators in the sky roared angrily: “You shamelessly stole the Mystic Fire Divine Bead, making it impossible to practice Daguang Temple’s cultivation method. How can Daguang Temple still exist?”
“Hahaha! Serves you right!” Before Qiao Xiaoxian could speak, Jiang Ke’er burst out laughing. “So, do you have any celestial materials and earthly treasures at home?”
All the cultivators glared angrily at Jiang Ke’er.
“Stop wasting words! Attack now!” Wuji Sect Master barked. “When she was an Honored One, she was no match for us. Now that she’s no longer an Honored One, what’s there to fear? Kill her! Rip out her tendons, dig out her liver! Boil her skin tonight and serve it with wine!”
“Heh…”
Jiang Ke’er stood by, watching coldly.
This was a grudge between Qiao Xiaoxian and the three local major sects of Beiju Luzhou. Perhaps it would be better to let her handle it herself.
And they seemed to have a terrible misunderstanding.
That day, it wasn’t that they defeated Qiao Xiaoxian with numerical superiority.
What caused Qiao Xiaoxian’s fall was only the hundredfold heavenly tribulation.
If not for the fact that Qiao Xiaoxian was immobilized by merging the dragon vein and enduring the heavenly tribulation, the Xiao Kingdom would have become a graveyard by now.
A cold light flashed in her eyes, and faint demonic qi and killing intent emerged in a place Jiang Ke’er couldn’t see.
…Qiao Xiaoxian was never one to mess with.
The cultivation method she practiced was heavy with demonic nature. For many years, she had only guarded the Dragonkind’s peaceful land by killing, killing, killing.
Although after meeting Jiang Ke’er, that constant cold-blooded aura had somewhat receded. But when facing enemies, the killing intent that erupted after being suppressed was even thicker and more terrifying!
The Wuji Sect Master suddenly realized that the situation seemed a bit off.
But then he remembered that she was only at the Seven Luminaries Realm now, and immediately felt relieved.
“Attack!”
Without any need for Jiang Ke’er’s help, Qiao Xiaoxian alone successfully surrounded everyone on the opposite side, including the Honored One.
“Cross-level challenge is indeed a protagonist’s basic move,” Jiang Ke’er couldn’t help lamenting. “But a cross-level instant kill is just too ridiculous. Should I say Qiao Aotian is amazing, or the Grade 8 artifacts are amazing…”
Qiao Xiaoxian was a monster who had simultaneously contracted ten Grade 8 artifacts.
In the recorded history of the Nine Provinces over thousands of years, such a wasteful fighting style had never been documented.
And when it came to being wasteful, Jiang Ke’er felt she absolutely couldn’t lose to Qiao Xiaoxian!
Using the Lunar Blueprint, Jiang Ke’er recently crafted a very nice component—the Spiritual Power Compression Conversion Valve.
This was a power supply device located in the front half of the Lunar Engine, which rapidly extracted spiritual power from Magic Crystals and converted it into tangible energy.
Because maintaining the flight of the massive moon required a vast amount of spiritual power supply, this power supply device had extremely high Magic Crystal conversion efficiency and speed.
Of course, that also meant the Magic Crystal consumption rate was equally fast.
To be able to supply enough Magic Crystals in time, Jiang Ke’er came up with a good method.
She strung the Magic Crystals together with a rope, creating a long roll of chain belt wrapped with Magic Crystals, then jammed one end of the chain belt into the groove of the power supply device.
In this way, the automatic compression valve of the power supply device could continuously trigger the Magic Crystal energy, while using the recoil force from the Magic Crystal burst and a slide to push the chain belt from right to left.
And so the cycle repeated: load the next Magic Crystal, burst, then the next… achieving a fully automatic activation process.
Of course, besides supplying energy to the Lunar Engine, this energy conversion device also had other uses.
Jiang Ke’er pulled out several long strings of Magic Crystal chains and hung them on her body. In each hand, she held an energy conversion device, with one end of the chain inserted and locked into the device.
She had a lollipop in her mouth, then aimed the energy output port of the Magic Crystal conversion device at the surrounding cultivators.
These cultivators were plainclothes soldiers from the Great Sima Nation hidden in Beiju Luzhou.
Since Qiao Xiaoxian was dealing with those old friends, these soldiers would be left to herself.
Zzzzz
The power after the Magic Crystal was compressed and transformed was terrifying.
As the most valuable currency in Shenzhou, its energy density was extremely high.
When activated, it didn’t spray out in point form, but as a ray!
Jiang Ke’er spun on the spot, as if dancing.
The scorching ray, with its elongated range, cut everything within a hundred meters in half. Low-level cultivators couldn’t even get close to Jiang Ke’er.
Even high-level cultivators had to hide behind defensive artifacts to avoid the edge.
“Just how rich is she?!”
Those cultivators had long recognized the true nature of the ammunition on Jiang Ke’er. In their despair, the more they thought about it, the angrier they got!
“Is being rich really that great?!”
Yes, you can do whatever you want.
The overwhelming advantage from economic superiority was pushed to the extreme in this brute-force offensive.
These two: one had ten Grade 8 artifacts floating around her, cross-level beating up Honored Ones.
The other was directly throwing money to beat people to death.
“How are we supposed to fight this?!”
“This kind of battle won’t bring happiness!”
“It’s no fun when everyone hides,” Jiang Ke’er said, finding these hiding Great Sima Nation cultivators boring.
She temporarily put down one energy activation device and reached behind her back.
Just as those Great Sima Nation cultivators thought Jiang Ke’er was going to pull out some big weapon again,
Jiang Ke’er gently grabbed her tail.
With a “pop~,” she yanked it.
Her fluffy tail wagged in the air, making even the burliest men’s hearts melt, as if the whole world had turned into a pink, girly hue.
Then, the tail gently landed behind the cover, at the feet of the cultivators.
