Chapter Eighty-Seven: Luring the Enemy into the Urn

  "Here!" The old man was the first to speak up.

  Everyone heard this and looked at each other, then rushed out of the study together.

  Leng Ruo Xue and others arrived at the General's mansion courtyard, but what they saw was astonishing!

  Only the sky above the general's mansion was seen, with dozens of figures floating in mid-air. Xu Xing stood in the middle of everyone, with a look of arrogance on his face, as if he was looking at dead people. The dozens of people all deliberately released their own pressure, each with an expressionless face, and a hint of disdain in their eyes, as if they were just ants.

  "This is terrible! These people are all divine spirits." The old man's face changed, and he transmitted his voice to everyone, "Damn it, this Xu Xing is really ruthless! He actually brought so many divine spirits as helpers. Under the pressure of dozens of divine spirits, he felt a bit overwhelmed."

  "What's to be done now?" Lin Liang's face also turned somewhat solemn, the matter had obviously gone beyond their control.

  "Xuě er." Lěng Jīng Tiān glanced in the direction of Lěng Ruò Xuě.

  Leng Ruoxue nodded, understanding Grandfather's intention. He wanted her to put all of them into the "Qiankun Bracelet" to avoid unnecessary losses. Thinking of this, Leng Ruoxue secretly contacted Qing Jue in her heart.

  "We can't clash with them head-on, the only way out now is to run, and one person running away is one less." The old man thought for a moment, using eggs to collide with rocks was unwise, these people wouldn't do such foolish things.

  "Go ahead and run, you first, I'll cut off the back." Lin Liang said with a determined heart, he had already made up his mind to die.

  "What are you capable of? You go first, I'll take care of the rear." The old man said with a tone that brooked no argument, and he also gave Lin Liang a glance, his eyes seeming to say "Do you think you have what it takes?"

  "So many divine spirits, who can escape?" Leng Qingtian retorted.

  At this moment, the old man and Lin Liang were both speechless. Ah, with so many spirits, who could escape? But, should they just sit and wait for death? That was not their style!

  "Since we can't escape, let's fight it out with them. Little girl, find an opportunity to run away by yourself." The old man said ruthlessly after some thought.

  "Yes, Snow and Ye Chen, you two find a chance to escape, don't worry about us." Lin Liang also echoed.

  "Both of you shut up and let Xue Er speak." Leng Qing coldly commanded.

  Listening to the three old men's soul transmission, Leng Ruo Xue felt a slight sense of emotion in her heart. It seemed that her vision was still good, at least apart from her own grandfather, Lin Ye and the old man were not afraid of death. Moreover, in such a dangerous situation, they could still disregard life and death, rushing to take the rear, letting others go first. You know, the more dangerous the situation is, the more it can test a person's heart.

  "Qīng jué." Lěng ruò xuě zài xīn zhōng qīng qīng de jiào zhe.

  Translation:

  "Green Chivalry." Leng Ruo Xue softly called out in her heart.

  "Sister, I'm ready." Qing Jue replied from within the 'Kunlun Ring'.

  Leng Ruo Xue nodded slightly, and with a quick thought, immediately put everyone present into the 'Qian Kun Ring'.

  "Huh, where is this?" The old man and Lin Liang looked at the suddenly transformed environment, obviously still unable to adapt for a while. However, they clearly felt that the oppressive aura released by those spirits had all disappeared, and the spiritual energy here was very rich.

  "This is Xue Er's space, we are safe now." Leng Qing Tian explained, fortunately, Xue Er had such a heaven-defying space, otherwise, they would have all been dead today.

  "What about Xue Yaotou's space?"

  "Little Girl's Room?"

  Lin Liang and the old man exclaimed in unison, their faces full of surprise and incredulity. In comparison, Ye Chen was much calmer, and at this moment, he was picking fruit from the tree to eat.

  "It was left by Master." Leng Ruoxue explained calmly and picked a fruit from the tree at the same time.

  "Master? If Snowy, I haven't heard that you have a master?" Lin Liang said with some curiosity.

  "He's already dead." Leng Ruoxue said with some sadness, and if she had the chance, she would definitely avenge her master.

  "Sorry, I don't know." Lin Liang said somewhat embarrassedly. Damn it, why was he so curious anyway?

  "It doesn't matter." Lan Yu said calmly.

  "Old man, where did you get the fruit?" Lin Liang had just turned his head when he saw the old man holding a huge unknown fruit, about the size of two adult fists, and gnawing on it. The juice from the fruit was still dripping down the corner of the old man's mouth.

  "Of course it's from the tree." The old man pointed to a nearby fruit tree, with an air of certainty. This fruit is really delicious, and there's so much spiritual energy inside that it's scary.

  "Old man, how..." Lin Liang was about to say "don't you know any manners at all", but instead found that everyone except him was holding a fruit and gnawing on it.

  "I told Lin Xiaozi to relax, we just escaped from death, don't be too tense. Since this is the little girl's territory, why should we be polite?" The old man didn't take himself as an outsider at all, and his adaptability was very quick, also obviously without much curiosity.

  Lin Liang was speechless after hearing what the old man said, and this became his fault?

  "Master, don't be too polite." Leng Ruohan walked out of the purple bamboo house with a light smile.

  "If it's cold, originally you are also here, Master still thought..." Lin Liang looked at his own beloved apprentice, full of joy overflowing from his words.

  "Since you sent everyone away, I've been living here directly." Leng Ruo Han explained, there are green jades here, and so many cute beasts, so he doesn't feel lonely at all.

  "If it's really you, I thought I'd never see you again!" Lin Liang exclaimed, pulling Leng Ruohan's hand, his emotions in turmoil.

  Leng Ruo Han and Shifu were chatting on one side, while the others were eating fruit and observing the situation outside.

  At this time, the general's mansion had become a mess, and Xu Xing and others who had thought they had already won were shocked to see that Cold Snow and others had disappeared in the blink of an eye. The frustration in their hearts was unbearable!

  "Where did everyone go?" Xu Xing furiously muttered to himself, he had originally come with helpers in high spirits, but not only did they fail to kill anyone, Cold Snow and the others had even gone missing, how frustrating!

  "Could it be that they have a hidden sacred artifact?" one of the divine spirits couldn't help but speculate.

  "Is that possible?" Xu Xing couldn't believe it, a sacred artifact could also turn invisible, how come he had never heard of it?

  "How can it be impossible? You're just too ignorant." The spirit deity said with disdain.

  "This realm's level isn't as high as ours, he doesn't know and that's normal." Another spirit deity chimed in, also helping to relieve Xu Xing.

  "What should we do now?" Xú Háng looked at the spirit who had spoken for him with gratitude and asked.

  "Look, I don't believe they can escape that quickly." Although there were sacred artifacts that could hide them, the strength of those people was below theirs. It was almost impossible to leave the General's Mansion without startling them.

  "Good." As soon as he finished speaking, several divine spirits immediately went to search General Fu's residence.

  Inside the Kunlun Ring.

  "Little dolls, they won't find us, will they?" The old man couldn't help but ask, not that he was afraid of death, it's just that the disparity in strength between the two sides was too great, and a head-on collision would be very unfavorable to them.

  "Don't worry, it's alright!" said Leng Ruoxue reassuringly.

  "How did you manage to find so many divine spirits?" Leng Qingtian asked with some puzzlement.

  "Yes, isn't it said that the Lingfeng Continent doesn't have any Spirit Gods?" Cold Snow also found it puzzling. As far as she knew, the strongest human on the Lingfeng Continent was currently a Spirit Venerable, and Spirit Gods seemed to have been extinct for thousands of years.

  "They are not even people of the Lingfeng Continent." The old man snorted, his face filled with disdain. Who would have thought that Xu Xing could still contact people from the Upper Realm? This Xu family is truly a scourge!

  "What did you say?" Leng Qingtian suddenly realized and immediately understood.

  "Grandpa, what's going on?"

  "Xu'er, the reason why there are no spiritual gods on Lingfeng Continent is that all the spiritual gods have gone to another plane. To put it simply, after becoming a spiritual god through cultivation, they will ascend to a higher-level plane. These people should be from that plane." Leng Qingtian explained, these things were recorded in the Leng family's genealogy, but if not for the old man's reminder, he really wouldn't have thought of it, and because Xu'er and Ruohan were still young, he had never told them about these things.

  "Can people from higher planes just come down?" Leng Ruoxue asked, somewhat puzzled. She had heard her master say that there were many spaces in the universe, not just Lingfeng Continent. However, she also remembered her master saying that people from higher planes couldn't casually enter lower planes, or it would cause spatial chaos and they would be eliminated by the heavenly rules. So what about these people...

  "Of course not! If it were that easy, Lingfeng Continent would have become a playground for those strong people long ago!" The old man hastily said.

  "Didn't they come down?"

  "The little doll, the people above who want to come to Lingfeng Continent have to pay a huge price, and these people are just spiritual gods. Although spiritual gods are top-notch strongmen on Lingfeng Continent, they are only at the bottom in the Upper Realm. More importantly, the rules of heaven and earth do not allow strongmen above the level of spiritual gods to enter Lingfeng Continent. Otherwise, why do you think the Xu family only sent these spiritual gods down?" The old man explained patiently, believing that no one on the entire Lingfeng Continent knew more about these things than he did.

  Leng Ruo Xue listened to the old man's words, nodded, although all those sent by the Xu family were Ling Shen, but even if they were just some Ling Shen, it wasn't something she could handle now. Thinking of this, a sense of frustration that had been suppressed before suddenly surged up in her heart.

  During this period, she was too smooth and almost encountered no setbacks. However, the appearance of these people deeply awakened her, making her realize that she was not omnipotent, nor was she the strongest. At the same time, these people also stirred up her strong fighting spirit, because if she couldn't even beat these people, let alone the strongest enemies she would face in the future, she might not be able to protect herself and the loved ones she cherished.

  Through the '乾坤镯', Leng Ruo Xue's beautiful eyes were icy cold as she sized up those Ling Shen who were rampaging through the General's Manor, committing their appearances to memory. As the saying goes, a gentleman takes revenge, even if it's ten years late. Now, she may not be their match, but that doesn't mean she can never take them down.

  "How is it? Have you found it?" A spirit god inquired of his companion within the General's manor.

  "Not even a fly." A spirit deity cursed and said.

  "Everyone, we must find them, can't let them get away." Xu Xing said somewhat anxiously.

  "If it can be found, of course, it should be found, but now it can't be found!" A black-clothed spirit god said with a face full of impatience.

  "Xu Xing, do you have any good ideas?"

  "I... I've got it. We can't find them, but we can force them out." Xu Xing thought his idea was great.

  "How can you coerce?" asked the spiritual god, looking at the vast General's Mansion, where there was no one in sight, who could be coerced?

  "We can use the people of Fengdu to force them out." Xu Xing suggested after some thought.

  "This phoenix city's citizens and the general's mansion are not close, don't care about each other. If it were you, would you come out?" Someone looked at Xu Xing with a foolish gaze and said.

  "This... This cold-hearted General Tian is after all a great general, I don't dare say anything about others, but he definitely won't ignore those ordinary civilians." Xu Xing said very confidently, with full confidence on his face.

  "Then let's try it!" The leading spirit god agreed.

  Xu Xing led dozens of Ling Shen, dejectedly leaving the General's Mansion with nothing, and walked towards the most prosperous street in Fengdu.

  "These people are really too despicable." The cold engine inside the cuff was furious and roared.

  "Calm down, Old Cold. Aren't you just doing what they want by acting like this?" Lin Liang walked over to Leng Qingtian's side and comforted him.

  "What do you suggest we do?" Leng Qingtian glared at Lin Liang, somewhat displeased. He indeed cared about the lives of ordinary people, and Xu Xing had spoken the truth on that point. Unfortunately, what Xu Xing didn't know was that Leng Qingtian cared even more about the safety of his loved ones and friends. Although those ordinary people were innocent, Leng Qingtian wasn't great enough to sacrifice himself for strangers; he too was selfish.

  "Don't worry, let's think of a good way." The old man said, really don't know what Xu Xing was thinking, actually planning to use ordinary civilians to threaten them. In fact, at their level of strength, how many people would be soft-hearted? Who doesn't have blood on their hands? And when necessary, even their own family members can be sacrificed. What do these civilians count for?

  "It's definitely unwise to knowingly go out and court death just because they're a threat to them." said Leng Ruoxue thoughtfully.

  "But I can go out and lure them away." Leng Ruoxue continued, letting her loved ones, friends die for the sake of strangers was impossible! However, if those civilians were persecuted because of them, it was also not a result they wanted to see. She could turn a blind eye, but she didn't want anyone to be harmed by others because of her. Leng Ruoxue was also very conflicted about this.

  "No way!" The few people present chimed in unison, and even the beasts that slowly gathered around all showed disapproval on their faces.

  "Master, I won't let you go out." The little black fox jumped into Leng Ruo Xue's arms with a spoiled expression and said domineeringly.

  "Yes, master, it's too dangerous outside, don't go out." Ling wrapped herself around Leng Ruo Xue's wrist and said.

  "Master, Mei is worried." Mei also jumped into Leng Ruo Xue's arms and said, the people outside were all Ling Shen, their strength was equivalent to hers, but their numbers were more than twice theirs. Such a disparity in combat power, hiding and waiting for an opportunity was the wisest move.

  "Master!" The sharp eyes also showed concern.

  "Don't be so tense, I'm just going out to lure them away. If there's any danger, I'll come in immediately." Leng Ruoxue explained, if it weren't for the 'Qiankun Ring', she probably wouldn't have dared to think this way either.

  "In that case, let's go out with you." The old man thought for a moment, he couldn't let this little girl go out alone and have the others inside worry about her, it was better to go with her.

  "No way, you all stay inside, there are too many people and it will be distracting. It's easy to overlook things and cause problems." Cold Snow vetoed the old man's idea.

  "Hmm, you all stay inside! I'm definitely going out with Xue Er." The demon said seriously while biting on a spiritual fruit, Xue Er didn't think of abandoning him!

  "You stay inside too!" Leng Ruoxue said unequivocally.

  "Xu'er..." The demon looked at Leng Ruo Xue with a wronged expression, his eyes welling up with tears.

  "Don't be lazy!" Leng Ruo Xue said without any room for negotiation, and immediately left the 'Dry Universe Ring'.

  Ling'er's cold and snowy demeanor left with her choker, and she also summoned Yu out at the same time.

  "Feathers, let's go distract those people! This is all she can do for the innocent civilians now." Leng Ruoxue sat on Feathers' back, gently patting his massive eagle head.

  "Yes, master." Yu Kai Xin nodded happily, flapping his huge wings and jumping into the air. He knew that his master would not abandon him.

  "What's so great about it? It just grew a pair of wings!" Yao in the bangle said with a jealous face, ...why doesn't it have wings, if it did, it would fly too, and the master wouldn't have called out that smelly bird.

  "It's just that, actually I can fly too, but the master never calls me, only that annoying bird!" Ling also complained indignantly, after being promoted to a divine beast, it also grew a pair of wings, unfortunately, the master has never used them even once, waaah...

  "Master, doesn't love me anymore." Even the normally calm and understanding Mei said with a hint of despair.

  "Xu'er is mine!" Ye Chen roared in anger, glancing at the few beasts that were muttering to themselves.

  "The Master is ours!" The beasts roared in unison, unwilling to show weakness.

  Leng Qingtian and others listened to Ye Chen's conversation with those few beasts, their foreheads furrowed with several black lines. Alas! Outside, the enemy was watching them like a tiger, yet inside, they were actually bickering over petty things!

  Outside of 'Qian Kun Chui', Yu carried a cold expression like snow and quickly caught up with Xu Xing and the others.

  "Are you looking for me?" Cold as Snow stood on Yu's back in mid-air, facing Xu Xing and the others.

  "Hmph! A small Ling Huang, yet you dare to be so arrogant." Xu Xing said with a face full of hatred, looking at Leng Ruo Xue disdainfully.

  "That's still better than your false bravado!" said Leng Ruoxue with a light smile, her tone neither angry nor annoyed.

  "Cold as snow, you're dead for sure, I won't let you off!" Xu Xing roared in anger, his eyes spewing out fierce flames.

  "Really? I'd like to know, why don't you just let me go?" Leng Ruo Xue deliberately provoked.

  "You..." Xú Háng was about to rush over and kill Lěng Ruò Xuě, but was stopped by someone.

  "Master said Cold-as-Snow cannot be killed." A man blocked Xu Xing's path, his face expressionless.

  "Don't worry, senior. I won't kill her. I just want to train her properly so that her claws don't scratch Grandfather." Xu Xing explained.

  "Don't hurt her face." The man coldly reminded, then withdrew his own arm and stopped blocking.

  "Thank you for your help, senior." Xu Xing bowed gratefully and said. It seemed that his efforts over this period of time had finally borne fruit, otherwise, why would these people be so easy to talk to?

  "Cold as snow, watch out." Xuxing was about to activate the Frost Palm, but instead saw that eagle carrying Cold-as-Snow flying away. He was furious!

  "Go after her!" someone shouted, and Xu Xing and the others immediately brought out their flying spirit beasts to chase after Leng Ruoxue.

  "Feathers, slow down." Leng Ruoxue said very kindly. Those people were all spiritual gods, but apparently they didn't mix well in the upper realm, otherwise, how could a spiritual beast be inferior to her?

  "Yes, master." The feather lightly flapped its wings a few times, slowing down its speed, and from time to time, it would turn its head back to look, if those people caught up, it would speed up, otherwise, it would fly slowly.

  "Hurry up, hurry up! We're about to catch up." Xu Xing patted his spirit beast anxiously and urged it on. Just a moment ago, they were clearly about to catch up, but in the blink of an eye, Leng Ruo Xue had somehow managed to get away again, leaving Xu Xing feeling extremely frustrated!

  Xu Xing and others kept chasing closely behind until they 'forced' Leng Ruo Xue into a deserted mountain valley...

  "Cold as snow, now see where you can run!" Xu Xing was laughing wildly, his face full of triumphant expressions, his sinister and venomous eyes releasing a bloodthirsty gaze.

  "Who says I'm running away? Can't you see that I've been waiting for you on purpose?" Cold Snow glanced at Xu Xing with a silly look, her words laced with sarcasm.

  "Hmph! You can be tough for now! There will be a time when you'll cry." Xu Xing said nonchalantly.

  "Alas! To think that no one believes me, what kind of world is this!" Cold Snow said helplessly, but in her heart, she was communicating with Grandfather and others in the bangle.

  "Grandfather, what plans do you have?" asked Leng Ruoxue in her heart.

  "Xue Er, now there are 11 people outside including Xu Xing, right?" Leng Qing Tian asked to confirm.

  "Yes, there are fewer people, I don't know where they went?" said Leng Ruoxue. Just now when she stopped Xu Xing and others, she found that the number of people had decreased by nearly half. Later, according to Grandpa's words, she led these people here.

  "Xue Er, now that they are not all here, it's a good opportunity for us. As long as we take care of them here, when the time comes to find opportunities to get rid of the others, we will be safe." Leng Qing Tian explained, if it weren't for the fact that their side had so many divine beasts, they wouldn't have dared to take this risk.

  "Good." Leng Ruo Xue also thought this was a good opportunity. Otherwise, if they waited until Xu Xing's side had gathered all their people, they really wouldn't be a match for them.

  "Cold as snow, you will die!" Xu Xing slowly activated his Frost Palm, gathering momentum for the impending strike.

  "Do you think only you have helpers and I don't?" Cold Snow thought for a moment, then released Grandfather and the others, as well as the many beasts.

  "Haha, you bunch of cowards have finally dared to come out? Xu Xing saw Leng Qingtian and the others appear, and he burst into joyful laughter. He was really worried that Leng Qingtian and the others would never dare to show up again! As for those few small, cute, and fluffy beasts, they were automatically ignored by him."

  "Don't know who's the coward yet? No helper, hiding in a mouse hole; found a helper, started showing off! Be careful, extreme joy begets sorrow!" The old man didn't speak, that was fine. Once he spoke, Xu Xing was infuriated to death.

  "Damn you, you old thing, have the guts to sign up." Xu Xing's eyes widened in anger, hating that he couldn't skin alive this old man who came out of nowhere.

  "What's the point of talking so much nonsense? Let's get to it!" Lin Liang and others were getting impatient, he had lived for so long, but never felt so stifled.

  "Mei, those people have been handed over to you." Leng Ruo Xue stroked Mei's soft fur and said softly.

  Mei nodded slightly, her elegant purple eyes lightly sweeping over those few Ling Shen who were just about to watch the commotion.

  The human soul, it's just right to try their strength!

  "Humans, today I'd like to see whether it's your human spirit that's formidable or our divine beast that's formidable." Mei said calmly, her every gesture and movement exuding a noble and elegant demeanor that made one feel ashamed of their own inferiority.

  "Haha, did we hear that right? You're just a small fox, and you dare to call yourself a divine beast?" One of the spiritual gods burst out laughing after hearing Mei's words. Divine beasts were rare even in their realm, so he didn't believe at all that this little fox could be one.

  "Underestimating your enemy will make you regret it." Mei said calmly, having decided that her opponent was this guy.

  Having decided on its opponent, the demon turned its head to glance at its companions, exchanged a silent understanding, and then directly flew towards the human spirit who looked down on it...

  "That ugly little runt is mine!" Yoru said, then flicked his fluffy tail and charged at the opponent he had set his sights on.

  "Then I'll take that skinny monkey!" Ling said somewhat reluctantly, he had originally also liked the short and stout one, but unfortunately it was snatched by some beast, so he could only randomly pick a distinctive one to make do.

  "I want the one with black fur." Yu chose for half a day, no matter how he looked at that tall and dark man with thick body hair, he didn't like him. Who made him also black and had feathers?

  Leng Ruo Xue listened to her own beast's discussion, this sweat! Her beast is so cute!

  "If Snowy, your beast is very charismatic." Lin Liang praised.

  "Haha, you just know that!" Leng Qingtian said with a pleased smile, his granddaughter's little beasts were quite interesting.

  "Lei Xiao, you go too!" Leng Qing Tian turned his head again and said to his own beast.

  "Yes, master." Lei Xiao replied, and immediately flew out as well, heading straight for his chosen opponent.
