SFS Chapter 33 Sudden Change in the Spirit Field
Chapter 33 Sudden Change in the Spirit Field
"Old Master Chu... you're joking."
After a long pause, Cui Bao finally managed to utter a sentence.
A direct descendant of a prestigious family, a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator, was now stammering in fear at the hands of a mere mortal.
It wasn't that he didn't want to win over Lu Qingyun, but that he didn't dare.
Although Master Chu was just an ordinary person.
But he was the only relative of Peak Master Chu of Lingzhi Peak, and the last person he saw before he disappeared.
The elders of Lingzhi Peak have all received his kindness.
Cui Bao dared not gamble, dared not gamble on whether Old Master Chu had any tricks up his sleeve.
Moreover, the Cui and Zhang families wanted to get the elders of Lingzhi Peak to choose sides, so they couldn't afford to offend them.
In comparison, Lu Qingyun is actually insignificant.
Taking him down would be a relief for me.
"Perhaps the clock is broken today."
Cui Bao gave an awkward smile and concocted a clumsy lie.
As a direct descendant of the Cui family of Qiyang, he was well aware of the principle of being able to bend and stretch.
As he spoke, Cui Bao secretly activated his magic to stop the Heart-Questioning Bell and erase the hands and feet inside.
"A mid-grade magic artifact has actually been damaged. Elder Cui truly lives up to his reputation."
Old Master Chu's eyes held a mocking glint.
"With the backing of the Cui family of Qiyang, they can be so careless with their magical artifacts."
Cui Bao's lips twitched.
If Cui Shi were still at the Foundation Establishment stage, he would naturally not need to fear Spirit Plant Peak, nor would he need to rely on the Zhang family.
But things are very different now.
Cui Bao's eyes flickered.
He knew there was nothing he could do about Lu Qingyun today, so all he wanted was to extricate himself as soon as possible, and let whoever wanted to deal with Lu Qingyun do as they pleased.
In any case, Lu Qingyun's life or death is irrelevant to his path of cultivation, and the reward given to him by the black-robed deacon is no longer enough to support him to continue taking action.
With this in mind, Cui Bao activated the Heart-Questioning Bell and said to Lu Qingyun:
"Lu Qingyun, I will ask you one more time: were you involved in the deaths of Sun Chang and the other man in the Yunxia Mountains?"
"It has nothing to do with it."
Lu Qingyun remained calm.
Arguing with Cui Bao at this moment would not benefit him, and since the other party was willing to offer him a way out, he was naturally willing to accept it.
His strength was far weaker than Cui Bao's. If it weren't for the connection he had with Elder Chu, he would probably have perished here.
However, if things fall apart, the other party may not be willing to continue giving Mr. Chu face.
"Not bad, he knows how to read the situation."
Cui Bao nodded in satisfaction.
He became even more certain that this man knew when to advance and retreat, and would never lay a hand on his son.
The air was completely silent, and the Heart-Questioning Bell remained motionless.
"It seems that I have misunderstood this matter."
Cui Bao smiled kindly.
Her hatred for Mu Shan intensified.
……
"Young Lu, are you satisfied?"
Old Master Chu spoke slowly and deliberately.
"Elder Cui is willing to represent the Qiyang Cui Clan to clear my name, and I am naturally extremely grateful."
Lu Qingyun cupped his hands and bowed slightly in apology.
Zhang Tianlie sighed.
"Old Biao, I'm afraid I've really failed this time."
"Why should you be so disappointed, young master?"
The old servant of the Zhang family scratched his head.
In my opinion, strength is the most important thing.
"If you have greater strength and can offer greater benefits, then Lu Qingyun will naturally side with you. Or perhaps, by then, this ungrateful brat will no longer be needed."
The old servant of the Zhang family chuckled and rubbed his hands together:
"So, young master, could you please send me my Nine Dragon Pill again...?"
"Old Biao, you're right."
Zhang Tianlie glanced at Biao Lao, never expecting that the old man could still say something so reasonable.
Then, his expression turned cold: "However, forget about the Nine Dragon Pill."
Old Biao was immediately devastated, as if he had lost his parents.
At this time,
Suddenly, the dark-skinned senior brother stepped out, giving a charming smile.
"Elder, please wait, I have something to report."
Upon hearing this, Cui Bao frowned.
I wonder what this dark-skinned senior is up to.
One of Zhang Tianlie's lackeys is actually taking matters into his own hands.
Cui Bao looked at Zhang Tianlie, who was equally puzzled.
His expression was unfriendly as he looked at his dark-skinned senior brother and said, "Zhou Liang, what do you want to say?"
"Something seems off with Senior Brother Dark-skinned."
Lu Qingyun suddenly felt something was strange.
If the other party were to inform the Cui family of what he knew about Young Master Cui, Cui Bao would not be able to stop there today.
But if he wasn't trying to pin the blame for killing Young Master Cui, why would he stand up for him?
Moreover, it is clear that Zhang Tianlie and Cui Bao did not instruct him to do so.
Lu Qingyun felt somewhat uneasy.
The next second, the dark-skinned senior brother walked towards him.
His magical power surged continuously.
"Senior Brother Zhou, what does this mean?"
Lu Qingyun asked in a cold voice, secretly activating the Golden Spirit Bees hidden on his body.
Logically speaking, the dark-skinned senior brother wouldn't make a move at this time, but the other party's behavior was completely strange.
"Junior brother, did you really not kill Sun Chang?"
"My dark-skinned senior brother Qiao Jiaobai said."
However, his dark face appeared extremely deformed.
He was completely unlike the dark-skinned senior brother I had seen in the Cloud and Mist Mountains.
Moreover, Senior Brother Youhei should know that he had nothing to do with Sun Chang's death, so why did he bring it up again?
"I've already asked Xin Zhong. Could it be that Senior Brother intends to defy Elder Cui, believing that Elder Cui is unable to discern the truth?"
Lu Qingyun said coldly.
The dark-skinned senior brother seemed not to hear him and said softly, "Junior brother, of course I know it has nothing to do with you."
"rub!"
The next second, a pitch-black palm print struck the chest of Elder Chu, who was standing next to Lu Qingyun. A violent explosion erupted in front of Elder Chu, sending blood flying and raising clouds of dust.
At this moment, everyone present was startled.
"Oh no, his target is Elder Chu!"
Cui Bao shouted almost ferociously.
The dark-skinned senior brother was someone he brought with him. If Elder Chu were to suffer even the slightest mishap, the Zhang family would probably have to use him as a scapegoat.
However, the dark-skinned senior brother was faster, and he flicked out a wisp of black mist from his sleeve.
Everyone present suddenly felt dizzy and lightheaded.
Cui Bao quickly unfurled an umbrella-shaped magical artifact to protect himself and faced his dark-skinned senior brother.
Cui was on good terms with Qifeng, so the magical artifacts he possessed were naturally of the highest quality.
"Bang!"
The Heavenly Net Umbrella emitted a beam of blue light, blocking the black smoke from entering.
His supernatural powers were displayed to their fullest extent by Cui Bao.
However, the dark-skinned senior brother smiled contemptuously, and his dark purple fist collided violently with the Azure Silk Umbrella, causing the Azure Silk Umbrella to suddenly begin to collapse and shatter.
Its bluish light suddenly dimmed.
Even the umbrella ribs have cracked.
A dignified first-grade mid-level magic weapon was unable to withstand even the slightest blow from the dark-skinned senior brother's fist.
Cui Bao was shocked. His dark-skinned senior brother had suddenly gained power and was now attacking him.
"Who exactly are you? Zhou Liang is only at the mid-stage of Qi Refining, how can he possess such strength?"
As he spoke, Cui Bao took out another magical shield.
The Spirit Stone within this magical artifact shone brightly, revealing it to be a rare, one-time-use artifact. Even Cui Bao felt a slight pang of regret after using it.
The black smoke surrounding him was finally concealed, and a dark, earthy yellow light enveloped him.
"Elder Cui is so eager to know my life. Now that I have arrived, I must feel the warmth of Elder Cui's embrace."
The dark-skinned senior brother licked his lips, ignoring Cui Bao's ashen face, and glanced disdainfully at the Zhang family servant who was rushing over, exuding murderous intent.
"Now that Chu Ping is dead, I will no longer keep you company!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a plume of black smoke exploded, obscuring everyone's view.
When the smoke cleared, the dark-skinned senior brother had already vanished without a trace.
