Chapter 555 Silent Encroachment
"It's not time for you to do anything yet. When you start, things will be much more critical." Lin Mu said, "You must not hold back, and you must not be careless. You must go all out and don't let anything go wrong."
Qingniu had no choice but to nod: "But you must leave two for me next time."
Ning Hong smiled and said, "We won the first battle. There were no accidents this time. It was perfect."
Qingniu looked at the spiritual power dissipating in the air, and suddenly came to his senses. He hurriedly reminded Renault: "Use the Demon Refining Pot to refine these Nascent Souls. You are too wasteful and extravagant."
Renault hurriedly took out the Demon Refining Pot and began to absorb and refine the Nascent Soul essences of these Nascent Soul cultivators. After a while, he refined all the Nascent Soul essences of the six Nascent Soul cultivators and handed three pieces to Qingniu.
"What do you mean by this?" Qingniu was puzzled.
"You were in a hurry just now. Didn't you want to split these six Nascent Soul essences in half?" Renault said with a smile.
"I don't want it. I'm thinking about you." Qingniu said proudly, "I'm now at the peak of the transformation stage. I can't use the spiritual essence of the Nascent Soul cultivators. You have just been promoted to the Nascent Soul stage and can use these spiritual essences. My consciousness has also advanced to the Condensation stage. The effect of absorbing and refining these Nascent Soul cultivators' consciousness is too poor, far less than the Condensation stage cultivators' spiritual essences. You should keep all these for yourself, practice well, and don't slack off!"
"What about you?" Renault asked.
"Of course I want the Nascent Soul essence of the Condensation stage cultivators. When we kill the four heads of the Piaoyun Clan, I can get two Nascent Soul essences. I don't want all the remaining resources and treasures." Qingniu said nonchalantly, as if killing the four heads of the Piaoyun Clan was just a piece of cake.
"We can't be careless." Ning Hong smiled and said, "In terms of absolute strength, we are certainly better than the four heads of Piaoyun Clan, but if they discover our purpose and go to extremes, the four of them will self-destruct when fighting us. We can't escape and will die."
"The possibility of such a situation can be ignored." Qingniu said, "Why don't we charge in now?"
"Don't pay attention to him, this bull is going crazy." Lin Mu glanced at Qingniu, and then said to Ning Hong, "What should we do next?"
Ning Hong pondered for a moment and said, "We will penetrate into the Piaoyun Vein and start to eat away at them from the inside. We will see if we can kill one or two of the leaders. If everything goes well, we may not suffer any casualties and we can destroy the Piaoyun Vein."
Renault said with high spirits, "If that's the case, it will definitely become a good story in the future."
"Before it's done, everything is empty talk. Don't be complacent." Ning Hong said, "Now we will pretend to be the six dead people and enter the Piaoyun Vein."
Lin Mu and Su Xian nodded in unison.
Ning Hong turned to the blue-clothed cultivator and the red-clothed cultivator and asked, "You have been in the Piaoyun Vein for many years. You should be familiar with the location of their powerful Yuanying stage cultivators. Once you enter the Piaoyun Vein, you will lead us there. Don't reveal any flaws."
The blue-clothed cultivator and the red-clothed cultivator nodded repeatedly.
Lin Mu and Ning Hong changed their appearances immediately and became the six people who just died in Piaoyun Vein. Qingniu stood there, stunned. "What about me?"
Lin Mu glanced at Ning Hong, Su Xian, Renault, and the Seventh and Eighth House Masters, and said with a smile: "It just so happens that there are six of us. You didn't kill anyone, so how can you have a share? Besides, although you have entered the transformation period, you still remain in the form of a cow and can't transform into a human form at all. What are you complaining about?"
Qingniu said: "How can I enter Piaoyun Vein?"
"It's easy. I'll put you in the beast bag later." Lin Mu smiled lightly.
After the transformation was completed, the few people set off for Piaoyun Vein. Lin Mu stayed behind and pretended to activate the beast bag on his waist. Then he made a feint to the east and attacked in the west, and put Qingniu into the Xuanyue space. Then he hurriedly activated the flying sword and caught up with Ning Hong and the others.
Flying all the way, outside the Piaoyun Vein, the few people dropped sword lights and walked forward.
The disciples patrolling the mountain gate were only at the Jindan stage. When they saw Lin Mu and his companions, they all nodded and bowed, saluted respectfully, and watched them enter the Piaoyun Vein.
After entering the Piaoyun Vein with great fanfare, they discussed whether to act separately. After all, the Piaoyun Vein was one of the four major forces before, and there were quite a few powerful Yuanying stage cultivators in the sect. It would take a lot of time to kill them one by one, and it would be much faster to act separately.
But Ning Hong forgot to look at the blue-clothed cultivator and the red-clothed cultivator, and smiled: "Anyway, we have several days, so let's act together first and feel out the situation first. There is no need to rush."
Lin Mu was surprised for a while, and couldn't help but whisper to Ning Hong: "Why don't you separate? With our strength, it is not difficult to kill a Yuanying cultivator."
Ning Hong whispered back: "For the sake of safety, we should not separate. These two insiders have been in Piaoyun Cultivation for many years, and I don't know if they have betrayed."
"It shouldn't be?" Lin Mu whispered: "Didn't they just bring out six Yuanying cultivators, and we killed them all. If they betrayed, would they still do this?"
Ning Hong said: "People's hearts are unpredictable. If Piaoyun Cultivation uses these six Yuanying cultivators as bait, if we separate now, it is very likely that the four heads of Piaoyun Cultivation will take advantage of us. I don't want to see any of us get killed or injured."
Lin Mu was shocked. Ning Hong actually had such a plan. It turned out that the old ones were the wisest.
If they separated rashly like this, they might fall into the trap. With his strength, he might be fine, but Renault was only in the Nascent Soul stage. His strength was not very strong. Two or three Condensation stage cultivators could kill him in an instant.
The Grand Palace Master had only this one child. If Renault died again, Lin Mu couldn't bear it.
He didn't want to take risks either.
"Let's do as Palace Master Ning said. Let's act together. Why rush?" Lin Mu smiled.
"You lead the way in front. Don't alert the enemy. We will go one by one to clear them out." Ning Hong ordered the green-clothed cultivator and the red-clothed cultivator.
The two immediately led the way in front and flew to a peak of the fifth-grade superior peak.
Lin Mu and his companions scattered around, pretending to be careless, but they were vaguely connected, and followed the two Nascent Soul stage cultivators.
"There are twelve late Nascent Soul cultivators on this peak, all of whom are elites in the sect." On the way, the green-clothed cultivator whispered to Ning Hong, who then informed Lin Mu and the others.
Arriving at this peak, several people, under the pretext of visiting, rushed into a fifth-grade cave, and after a while, went to another cave. Everything was in order, without a trace of panic.
The green-clothed cultivator and the red-clothed cultivator were watching outside and observing the situation.
These late Nascent Soul cultivators had no power to resist the joint attack of Lin Mu and Ning Hong, and were all killed sharply. Renault was responsible for absorbing and refining their Nascent Soul essence in the back, and Su Xian and the seventh and eighth house masters had very few opportunities to take action.
In just one hour, this fifth-grade peak was cleaned out by Lin Mu and Ning Hong, and the Nascent Soul cultivators were wiped out!
