My Senior Brother Is Too Steady
Chapter 14 Could He Fall From the Sky Just So?
“Aura Assassin Turtledove is missing. The Immortal Du Sect disciples at the Ninth Stage of the Soul Formation had disappeared as well. It's very strange.”
Deep within the dense forest, in the mysterious valley, several black figures were hidden in the bushes. They seemed to be discussing something through voice transmission.
One of them scolded, “There is an 80% chance that he took the money, killed the guy, and then escaped! Hmph! Such a person is unbelievable. We have to keep our own people. They will be more reliable!”
“Is the Dragon Trap Array ready?”
“It's set. We can trap Immortal Du Sect’s Perfected Immortal.”
“Very well. Although there was an unexpected change of situation, it should not be too big of a problem, ” said the man in charge in a low voice. “Send a message to Fourth Young Master later. Arrange for a wave of people to attack him intentionally. It would lure the Immortal Du Sect’s Perfected Immortal to the top. ”
“We will personally capture the two disciples and lead them to the trap array. Then, we will trap the Perfect Immortal. This concerns the recovery of our country, and the Sixth Princess is our best bet. We have to control it. At the same time, the Fourth Young Master would get what he wanted. ”
The black people laughed. The man in charge clenched his fists, and then everyone left one by one, very quickly.
Half a day later, several men dressed in black suddenly attacked Yuan Qing and Youqin Xuua. Yuan Qing immediately destroyed his communication talisman.
Jiu Jiu, who was sitting cross-legged on top of Wang Ji and Liu Yan’er, immediately jumped. He turned around and charged towards the southeast. Yuwen Ling gave everything he could to follow Jiu Jiu.
As Jiu Jiu flew, over ten types of auras appeared below. There were two cultivators in the Realm of Retaliation Dao among them, which made Wang Ji and Liu Yan’er faint and took them away at once.
An hour later, Jiu Jiu flew back quickly, leaving behind Yuwen Ling who was hovering above Yuan Qing and Youqin Xuanya just in case.
At that moment, Jiu Jiu smelled something unusual. But he was traveling too fast. By the time he found Liu Yan’er and Wang Ji, he had already found himself deep within a certain array. There were white clouds all around him, and even as far as his eternal consciousness could reach, he could only see a patch of white.
He took Wang Ji and Liu Yaner in his hand and then flew around the trap array. Jiu Jiu was not an expert in array formations, to begin with, and soon, she found herself right where she started.
‘At least, I left the cool general to watch over Yuan Qing and his Xua.’
Jiu Jiu sighed in relief. He wanted to calm his heart to find a way to break out of the array formation. However, once again, he recalled the warning Li Changshou had given him before entering the Chaos Treasure Forest.
“Aibi-Tuan Jiu, this person came for an unknown reason and was a little suspicious. Don't trust him easily.”
‘Could this Yuwen Ling—’
At that moment, a grain of cold sweat appeared on Jiu Jiu's forehead.
It was all related in the — chain it seemed like he had fallen into their trap from the start!
‘What happened to Li Changshou? His cultivation level is low. Could he have been killed? There was an 80% chance that these people were chasing after Xuanya and Yuan Qing. I should have realized this sooner!’
Jiu Jiu was unwilling to cry out a curse. “You're a bad villain! If you have what it takes, come and fight 300 rounds with me! How can you still call yourself a Cultivator after using this lousy trick ?! ”
However, there was nothing but poisonous insects and some poisonous beasts that were both lost in the ranks. There was no response.
“Aiya!”
Jiu Jiu threw the two unconscious people to the ground, then paced back and forth. The thread on his tattered short-sleeved top tightened. It threatened to break at any time under immense pressure.
“This array formation and others frustrate me to death!”
…
‘Immortal-Emancipating Herb, this is very hard to find.
On the twelfth day in the Northern Continent, Li Changshou emerged from the Chaos Treasure Forest. Then, he headed 800 kilometers to the northwest. Finally, he arrived in the marked region on his map ‘just in time’.
This region has a radius of about 150 kilometers. The terrain was very complicated as there were hills, swamps, mountains, and the like. As Li Changshou traveled deeper into the Northern Continent, ferocious beasts and poisonous insects became even more ferocious.
Li Changshou remained extremely cautious. With great care, he searched for the ‘toxic herb’ he wanted. After searching for six days in a row, he found all sorts of poisonous herbs and spirit herbs. However, he had found no trace of the person he had taken the risk of coming to the Northern Continent from the very beginning.
During the day, it started raining, and every drop of rain that fell from the sky was extremely poisonous.
Li Changshou did not dare to go out and roam. So, he found a steep cliff and dug a hole in it, hiding in it. He released his spiritual awareness to examine his surroundings. Li Changshou would wait for the rain to stop before continuing his search for the herb.
In these six days, he had searched almost every area in the region. Unfortunately, he had found no trace of the Eternal Liberation Potion.
‘Eternal Liberation Herba, Eternal Liberation Potion, why are you playing hide and seek with me? Why not come out and see me?’
Li Changshou yawned and sat cross-legged in his cave. Then, he began to adjust his body back to its peak condition.
He had learned from the ancient text that this region was where the Eternal Liberation Potion grew.
Coming here would be the lowest price he would have to pay to find this potion. If he did not succeed, Li Changshou decided that he would return to the city on his way back to try his luck.
So what if he had to spend the spirit stones and treasures that he had spent so many years trying to cheat? It would all be in vain if he could obtain the Eternal Liberation Potion.
Well, even if it didn't work out, Li Changshou wouldn't have any other way. He could only start planning again when he returned to the mountain.
The rain started suddenly, and showed no signs of stopping anytime soon.
It was rare for Li Changshou to rest. He slowly calmed his mind. Even though he had the Red Poisonous Dragon Breed Water, and he could prevent ferocious beasts and poisonous insects from approaching, he was somehow in a dangerous place. It was hard for him to tell himself to relax.
Li Changshou thought about the cultivator he killed nine days ago. He took out a Soul Conservation Pearl, intending to look at the photos of the memories within. However, the soul that was left within it had been lost.
‘Forget. This has nothing to do with me anyway.’
That guy had a well thought out plan. He also had the help of insiders from the warm Yuan Qing. Given Auntie-Tuan Jiu's intelligence, she would probably easily fit into the trap array.
Aunt-Master Jiu had a high cultivation level and an adorable personality, but sometimes she was too rash. Once the alcohol got into his head, he would not be careful.
Youqin Xua is more pathetic. He had been cultivating for so long within the immortal sect, yet he still could not avoid the political fight in the world. His childhood friend, who has always been by his side, also harbors unexpected motives.
Li Changshou had never seen himself as a hero, and he would never try to save the princess. He had no intention of changing his own fate. In his eyes, Youqin Xuanya was just a matter of being well packaged. He will avoid this karma and get involved as much as possible.
The explosion! The explosion!
The sound of thunder resounded in the sky.
Li Changshou began to inspect his various resources. He had quite a number of pills and talismans, and the Red Poisonous Dragon Water could last another nine days. It was enough for him to leave this area after he completed his quest. If he could move faster after the rain and complete his search in this area faster, he would be able to head north or west to continue the search.
‘Eternal Liberation Herba, Eternal Liberation Potion, I became very irritated.’
The explosion!
The cliffs suddenly shook.
His tremors shocked Li Changshou. Therefore, he quickly used his spiritual senses to observe the surroundings and detect strange occurrences in the clouds above him. The clouds had formed a whirlpool, and lightning struck within it. Looks like something tried ‘diperas’.
Li Changshou squeezed his fingers to analyze the situation, and discovered that a great change was taking place in Heaven and Earth!
Li Changshou made protection with the power of his Dharma and came out of the cave. He quickly landed on the ground, preparing to use the footwork of the Dragon Swimming Across Clouds.
However, the moment he landed, Li Changshou heard another thunderous voice from above. A bright red figure shot out from the whirlpool. With lightning speed, the figure fell to the ground.
The figure landed just thirty feet in front of Li Changshou and was covered in mud.
Li Changshou quickly retreated, three paper puppets were already in his palm!
However, when Li Changshou saw the figure wrapped in layers of pink light, she frowned.
‘It..’.
Was Heaven upset that his search for medicinal herbs was going too smoothly? Is that why Heaven made things harder for him?
Or had he offended some kind of demon, who controlled his fate so that he could not avoid this calamity?
The figure wearing a flaming red skirt and lying in front of him was not an outsider — it was his Youqin Xuan!
Youqin Xuanya was seriously injured. There was an open wound on his left shoulder, so deep that Li Changshou could see his bones. Fresh blood mixed with the poisonous rain and flowed on his jade-like arm. His right hand grasped his greatsword tightly—he seemed to have lost his sword sheath. His sword was covered in scratches that resembled a spider web.
There were at least ten wounds on his body, yet he was not in critical danger.
Just as Li Changshou recognized him, Youqin Xuua saw the figure in front of him in the rain. He lowered his head and spat out a mouthful of blood. His eyes were filled with determination as he used his sword to stand up. It was then that he realized the figure in front of him looked familiar.
Li Changshou frowned. Back then, he used his spiritual senses to observe the surroundings. No attackers were chasing him.
He remembered what happened before. It seems like Youqin Xuanya has activated some kind of treasure to escape — she must have used cosmic techniques to get there.
The most frustrating thing was that he showed up there, of all places.
Li Changshou had come face to face with a fellow sect member, yet he did not try to save her. If Youqin Xuan survived and returned to complain to the sect elders about him, he would be in deep trouble. However, Li Changshou did not want to get involved in this conflict. It has nothing to do with him in the first place.
Although he would be in big trouble if Youqin Xuua told him, what she suffered the most was the monthly allowance deduction.
Li Changshou muttered to himself and turned around calmly, “Ah, the rain is so heavy. My vision is disturbed. I can't see anything.” He faced the cliff wall behind him and raised his hand, ready to use Earth Escape.
If he stayed there any longer, he would be a fool!
‘With fast!’

“Senior .. Senior Sister Changshou?”
Youqin Xuua looked at Li Changshou's back through the rain, astonished. He lowered his head and coughed another mouthful of blood. Then, he said anxiously, “Quick, run, don't mind me! Your cultivation level is too low. They have many-”
Before he could finish his sentence, his Youqin Xua eyelids were burdened. His aura was completely messy, and his injuries were extremely pitiful. He and his sword fell back into the mud at the same time.
Lightning flashes appeared In the dark clouds, and the rain became even more swift.
‘Forget. Because of your good conscience, I'll use Earth Escape to help you in the middle of the road. After that, I really can't help you. I can only let Heaven determine your fate.’
