I Am a Late Bloomer In the World of Immortality Chapter 178

Chapter 178 The Immortal Sect is arrogant and the fake elixir makes things difficult (please subscribe)

It wasn't until several of them received a blow from Wei Tu's Ice Dragon Sword and had difficulty sensing Wei Tu's position for a while that they thought of retreating.

After all, if the delay continues, once the reinforcements from Cicada Cliff arrive, they won't be able to do as well as they can now.

“Retreat!” The Blood God Cult demon cultivator did not hesitate too much. After seeing that the situation was unfavorable, he immediately issued the order to retreat.

　　Whoosh! Whoosh!

In less than a breath of time, the five demon cultivators retreated from the valley instantly without any hesitation.

Wei Tu, who was hiding aside, did not catch up when he saw this situation. Instead, he waited for the demon cultivator to leave the valley before he showed his trace.

When he was a military attache in the mortal world, although Wei Tu thought that he was not a general and had not learned much about arranging troops, he still knew a little about the application of military tactics.

This valley is less than ten miles away from Cicada Cliff. When he saw the demon cultivators, he expected that these demon cultivators would not stay here for too long.

As long as he "bluffs" and for the sake of their lives, these demon cultivators will definitely evacuate immediately instead of risking their lives and continue to rob and kill Guan Zhenying.

The fate of a demon cultivator is also fate.

Although demonic cultivators are more open-minded than righteous monks when it comes to matters of life and death, this does not mean that demonic cultivators are all idiots.

"I am Guan Zhenying, thank you Taoist friend for saving my life." After Wei Tu was found, Guan Zhenying looked at Wei Tu and saw that he was a monk he had never seen before, so he couldn't help but be more polite in his words.

“Shen also thanked fellow Taoist for saving his life.” Shen Changfeng finally recovered from the war. He took back the sun wheel magic weapon and hurriedly said a few words of thanks to Wei Tu.

“Is it possible that Fairy Guan doesn't know Wei?” Wei Tu smiled, flicked his sleeves, removed his disguise, and revealed his true appearance.

"It's actually fellow Taoist Wei?" After Guan Zhenying saw Wei Tu's appearance, he thought about it for a moment, and memories quickly came to his mind.

In Danqiu Mountain, there have not been many casual cultivators who came to Taixuanzong to exchange for Foundation Establishment Pills.

Of course, based on this incident alone, she would not have such a big impression on Wei Tu.

Mainly because after the end of the Yunze Secret Realm, Wei Tu, as the only survivor of the Huang family in Heshan, is really "eye-catching".

Over time, she had a deep impression on Wei Tu.

“It turns out to be Wei Fu Master.” Although Shen Changfeng didn't know who Wei Tu was, he understood Wei Tu's identity after being reminded by Guan Zhenying's message.

“It turned out to be just a casual cultivator.” Shen Changfeng breathed a sigh of relief.

If Wei Tu were a sect monk, he would have to spend a lot of money to repay this life-saving grace. As for a casual cultivator, he would never be taken advantage of.

Wei Tu didn't know what Shen Changfeng was thinking. His purpose of saving Guan Zhenying and Guan Zhenying this time was to open up a situation in Cicada Cliff, rather than sincerely pursuing the right path. Therefore, he did not care about the matter of "taking advantage of others to repay him". Don't really care.

However, on the surface, Wei Tu felt that Guan Zhenying was easier to get along with, so he looked at Guan Zhenying and revealed his identity as the monk guarding Cicada Cliff.

“This time Wei rushed to the front line of the battlefield from the mainland and accidentally found two Taoist friends trapped here, so he came to help.”

"It's just that Wei is not familiar with Cicada Cliff. What he said before was just a lie to the demon cultivator."

“I wonder if Fairy Guan is willing to be Wei's guide and take Wei to Cicada Cliff?”

Wei Tu bowed his hands and said.

His words clearly meant that he wanted Guan Zhenying to help him point out the direction of Cicada Cliff, but in fact he wanted Guan Zhenying to help him establish relationships in Cicada Cliff so that he could gain a foothold in Cicada Cliff.

This is just a piece of cake for Guan Zhenying, a monk of Taixuanzong.

"You're welcome, Fellow Taoist Wei. I happen to be the monk guarding Cicada Cliff. It is my duty to help fellow Taoist lead the way." Guan Zhenying responded with a smile on her face.

But in fact, at this time, Guan Zhenying's heart gradually felt a bitter taste.

More than sixty years ago, Wei Tu was only a ninth-level qi-training monk, while she was at the early stage of foundation-building.

Now, sixty years later, she is not only on par with Wei Tu in terms of cultivation, but her life was also saved by Wei Tu along the way.

You must know that back then, she paid no attention to Wei Tu, who was a casual cultivator. She only talked to Kou Hongying, a fellow cultivator of the Immortal Sect, during the whole process.

"Okay, Junior Sister Guan, in order to avoid long nights and endless dreams, it's better to leave here first and return to Cicada Cliff as soon as possible. Who knows whether those demon cultivators will leave and come back." At this time, Shen Changfeng suddenly spoke up and interrupted. The conversation between Wei Tu and Guan Zhenying.

From the conversation between the two, Shen Changfeng faintly sensed a sense of crisis.

This is not unfounded by Shen Changfeng.

But he knows his own affairs.

Compared with the elites of the Immortal Sect, casual cultivators like Wei Tu are far inferior, but he can stand out from the casual cultivators and has a skill at his side. In terms of attractiveness, he is comparable to ordinary disciples of the Immortal Sect like him. Much stronger.

“Senior Brother Shen is right.” Guan Zhenying nodded without thinking too much.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　ifies.

The three of them immediately headed to Cicada Cliff.

Fifteen of an hour later.

The Cicada Cliff formation was activated, and Fang Weitu, Guan Zhenying, and Shen Changfeng walked in.

“It is indeed an easy-to-defend but difficult-to-attack place. No wonder Xianmen chose this place as a guarding location.” Wei Tu thought to himself as he observed the topography of Cicada Cliff.

The Cicada Cliff is located near the Yaolang Mountains. This cliff is a steep terrain formed by a branch of the Yaolang Mountains rising from the ground. It is thousands of feet high and reaches into the sky. Moreover, the cliff body is mostly made of some kind of hard bluestone spiritual material, which is very different from the ordinary cliff body.

Even for the sake of sturdiness, the three major immortal sects carved a series of restrictions on the bluestone on the cliff.

“Even if there are golden elixir monks to attack, Cicada Cliff will not fall immediately.” After seeing the solid defense measures of Cicada Cliff, Wei Tu felt more reassured.

There were no buildings built on the Cicada Cliff. Instead, many caves were drilled down from the cliff face according to local conditions.

Wei Tu followed Guan Zhenying and when he came to the cliff, he was surprised for a while by the dense caves on it.

"There are currently about four hundred Qi-training monks in Cicada Cliff. As for the Foundation-building monks, plus fellow Daoist Guards, the number is eleven."

“These foundation-building monks come from a variety of backgrounds. They are not only casual cultivators like Fellow Daoist Wei, but also monks from the three major immortal sects, as well as Jingguo Cangqiong City and the Beast Control Sect.”

Guan Zhenying led the way and explained to Wei Tu.

Hearing this, Wei Tu glanced at his storage bag subconsciously, but he did not forget that his Sky Cracking Sculpture was a spiritual beast produced by the Beast Control Sect.

"From now on, try to use the hollow sculpture as little as possible in front of others." Wei Tu secretly thought.

As the saying goes, with greater ability comes greater responsibility. Conversely, in the eyes of others, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility on the shoulders.

If the monks at Cicada Cliff knew that he was surrounded by mid-level second-order birds and monsters, they would inevitably send him to complete some dangerous missions in the future.

“Previously, the old man Xi mentioned by those demonic cultivators was the “immortal envoy” of our Cicada Cliff, a fake elixir cultivator.”

“Senior Xi, his name is Xi Ying. He is the highest among our Cicada Cliff monks. He was born in Cangqiong City of Jingguo.”

Guan Zhenying added.

The Immortal Envoy is equivalent to the "Supervisory Army" in the mortal army.

This point is still clear to Wei Tu.

As for Cangqiong City, Wei Tu doesn't know much about it.

He only knows that Cangqiong City is different from other sects. It is a sect jointly ruled by five major cultivating families and generally does not recruit disciples from outside.

"This is the "Meeting Hall". Once there is an emergency military situation, Senior Xi will issue an order. You and I, the foundation-building monks, must rush here as soon as possible." Guan Zhenying led Wei Tu to a larger cave in Cicada Cliff. She pointed The writing on the stone tablet on the cave said.

"This time, fellow Daoist Wei came to Cicada Cliff. It is also an urgent military situation for us."

“Later, Fellow Daoist Wei will be able to see other Fellow Foundation Establishment Daoists in this meeting hall.”

Guan Zhenying said.

While Guan Zhenying was talking eloquently.

At the door of the meeting hall, there was an old man with a red face.

The red-faced old man had a serious look on his face. He looked at Wei Tu, who was half a step behind Guan Zhenying, and then moved his gaze to Guan Zhenying and asked, "Is this person the casual cultivator that Fairy Guan and Fellow Daoist Shen met?"

When Wei Tu heard this, he couldn't help but frown secretly. The red-faced old man was quite polite when he addressed Guan Zhenying and Shen Changfeng, but when he came here, he was much colder.

As a casual cultivator, he has not encountered many scenes like this, but he has heard about them quite a lot.

Some monks who come from immortal sects often have a higher regard for casual cultivators, thinking that interacting with them is an insult to themselves.

“Yes, Senior Xi.”

“Fellow Daoist Wei is the casual cultivator we met when we were on this mission.”

When Guan Zhenying heard the red-faced old man's question, he hurriedly bowed and introduced Wei Tu's identity to the red-faced old man.

　　When the word "loose cultivator" came up, Guan Zhenying glanced at Wei Tu apologetically and asked Wei Tu not to mind too much.

Guan Zhenying was also upset at this time. The "Senior Xi" she usually met was considered kind, but when she came to Wei Tu, she was not so good.

“Wei Mou has met Senior Xi.”

Wei Tu bowed his hands in a salute, his attitude was easy-going, and he did not lose his composure because of Xi Ying's arrogance. After all, he had also killed the fake Alchemy Lord before.

“Wei Tu, when you met those demon cultivators, why didn't you join forces with Fairy Guan and Fellow Daoist Shen to kill them?”

“But hide aside?”

Xi Ying asked.

Hearing this, Wei Tu didn't know how to reply. It was obvious that Xi was the one who was making things difficult for him.

With the numbers at a disadvantage, it was not easy for him to bluff and rescue Guan Zhenying and Shen Changfeng. He had no spare power to kill the demon cultivator.

“Senior Xi, the situation was urgent at that time, and Fellow Daoist Wei handled it improperly for a while, which is understandable.”

Seeing this scene, Guan Zhenying gritted his teeth, stepped forward, and spoke for Wei Tu.

· Xi Ying is a fake elixir master and an "immortal envoy". With her status, she cannot refute Xi Ying's words. She can only follow Xi Ying's words and try to reduce Wei Tu's "culpability" as much as possible.
