Mortal: My divine sense has mutated.

Chapter 12 Chen Qiaoqian

As they talked, Mo Caihuan and the other two women chatted with Chen Liang about some trivial matters that had happened in the sect over the past few years.

According to them, the newly joined Murong brothers, although possessing the unique spiritual root of thunder, were impetuous and recently, when provoked by a fellow disciple surnamed Lu, they casually accepted the challenge.

As a result, Lu Yunfeng, taking advantage of his age, almost killed them. It was only thanks to Nie Ying's intervention that they escaped unharmed.

In addition, Lu Yunfeng's gaze towards Mo Caihuan and the others was filled with malice, so the three women, including Mo Caihuan, all disliked him.

Mo Fengwu went even further, saying that although Lu Yunfeng had entered the sect earlier than them, he should logically be called "Senior Brother".

However, this person was secretly two-timing, not only having a marriage agreement with a fellow disciple, Senior Sister Chen, but also having an affair with a junior disciple, Dong. He was unworthy to be their senior brother.

In addition, the Bloodstained Forbidden Land Trial, which is held every sixty years by the seven major sects of Yue Kingdom, is about to begin.

However, even after Han Li cultivated to the thirteenth level of Qi Refining and took the Foundation Establishment Pill, he still failed to establish his foundation.

Now, the Crimson Forbidden Land is his only hope for further advancement, so Han Li has decided to participate in this Crimson Forbidden Land trial.

However, compared to the original story, Han Li is now at the thirteenth level of Qi Refining, so this Blood Forbidden Land trial is not very dangerous for him.

Soon after, Mo Caihuan and the other two women will return, and Chen Liang has been guiding them into the protective array of Huangfeng Valley.

Even before that, it was Chen Liang who picked them up before the sect leader Zhong Lingdao agreed to let them leave Huangfeng Valley.

After safely returning the three women to their cave, Chen Liang went back to his own cave.

He was currently working on a complete set of the Reversed Five Elements Array, so as soon as he returned to his cave, he focused on inscribing the restrictions.

A few days later, Chen Liang went to the market town of Huangfeng Valley. He was short of materials for engraving the restrictions on his body and needed to replenish them.

On the way back, Chen Liang sensed the traces of two Qi Refining cultivators, one of which was left by a Wind Spirit Root cultivator.

Lu Yunfeng possessed the talent of the Wind Spirit Root, and because he entered the sect early, Chen Liang had to call him "Senior Brother" when they met before.

Thinking of this, Chen Liang's eyes narrowed, and he followed the trail of scent.

On the other side, in a remote place near the border between Yue Kingdom and Yuanwu Kingdom, a pair of young cultivators sat shoulder to shoulder around a campfire.

The male cultivators were quite handsome, and the female cultivators were also beautiful. From a distance, they looked like a well-matched couple.

The female cultivator took a sip of the spiritual wine offered by the male cultivator and spoke.

"Senior Brother Lu, why are we discussing the Crimson Forbidden Land in such a remote place?"

She was Chen Qiaoqian. Although she was the daughter of the head of the Chen family, she was repeatedly caught in the predicament of arranged marriages in the original story, and her life was not her own.

The male cultivator was naturally the so-called "Senior Brother Lu." Seeing that Chen Qiaoqian had already drunk the spiritual wine, he stopped pretending.

"There's no need to go anymore. With Senior Uncle Hong Fu helping me, reaching Foundation Establishment is just a matter of time."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qiaoqian looked at Lu Yunfeng with a puzzled expression and said, "Senior Aunt Hongfu? How could she...?"

Before she could finish speaking, a sudden wave of dizziness made her body sway weakly.

Only then did Chen Qiaoqian realize that something was wrong.

"What...what did you give me to drink?"

Lu Yunfeng smiled smugly and said, "The Aphrodisiac Powder."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qiaoqian was shocked and furious, but she was too weak to even express her anger, and she collapsed to the ground.

Lu Yunfeng raised an eyebrow and said, "I'm sorry, junior sister. In order to prevent Senior Aunt Hongfu from knowing that I'm two-timing, I can only ask you to bear with this."

But don't worry, junior sister, I'll take good care of you before you die. It won't be in vain that you were born with such a beautiful face, hahaha...

As Lu Yunfeng spoke, he began to massage Chen Qiaoqian's shoulders, clearly impatient.

Just then, a round of applause rang out, sending a chill down Lu Yunfeng's spine.

"who?!!"

"Very well, Junior Nephew Lu, you've certainly got a good plan, and you're quite the scoundrel. Too bad you've run into me today, you deserve your bad luck."

As Chen Liang's figure slowly emerged in the distance, Lu Yunfeng's eyes instantly changed from shock to malice and resentment.

"You're a fake spiritual root!"

To this, Chen Liang simply smiled and said, "Even with a so-called fake spiritual root, I can still establish my foundation faster than you."

As he spoke, Chen Liang slowly took out a silver flying sword that he hadn't used in a long time from his storage bag.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yunfeng's face turned red with anger, and the next moment he took out a top-grade magic weapon from his storage bag—the Azure Dragon Flag.

"Heaven has no eyes! It actually allowed you, with your fake spiritual root, to successfully establish your foundation with just one Foundation Establishment Pill."

As for me, a dignified cultivator with a different spiritual root, I was actually squeezed out of the Foundation Establishment Pill quota by that pseudo-spiritual root who held the Ascension Token, leaving me with no Foundation Establishment Pill and the only option to fight desperately in the Blood Forbidden Land.

"It's all because of you Mohists! You all should die!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yunfeng formed a hand seal, ready to fight to the death.

"Transform into a dragon..."

But Chen Liang immediately swung his silver flying sword, which transformed into a cold light and flew through the air, piercing straight through Lu Yunfeng's chest.

Lu Yunfeng stared in disbelief at his ripped-open chest, stammering, "How could this be? How could I... die here..."

Lu Yunfeng, who came from a declining family and was chosen by the Chen family for a marriage alliance because of his unique spiritual root, only had time to leave behind this last sentence before he perished.

Chen Liang leisurely put away his storage bag and Azure Dragon Flag, saying, "You think you can unleash a powerful attack from this distance? You may be in the mood to unleash it, but I'm not in the mood to watch."

Then, Chen Liang cast a fireball spell to incinerate the corpse before looking at Chen Qiaoqian beside him.

At this moment, Chen Qiaoqian's face was flushed, and she was in a daze. Although she showed a joyful smile when Lu Yunfeng died, she quickly began to tear at her clothes.

It was only after Chen Liang used his spiritual power to feed her an Ice Heart Pill that Chen Qiaoqian regained consciousness.

The Ice Heart Pill can stabilize a cultivator's mind at critical moments, reducing mistakes and losses. All cultivators who study the four arts of immortal cultivation usually keep some on hand, which just happens to solve Chen Qiaoqian's urgent problem.

After regaining consciousness, Chen Qiaoqian quickly circulated her internal energy to expel the remaining aphrodisiac from her body.

Only after Chen Qiaoqian was completely freed did Chen Liang speak, "Junior Sister Qiaoqian, your Chen family should be able to handle today's matter, right?"

Chen Qiaoqian quickly cupped her hands and said, "Of course, this boy deserved to die, and his funeral arrangements will not trouble you, senior brother."

Furthermore, Qiaoqian is deeply grateful for her senior brother's help. She will certainly do her best if needed in the future.

Chen Liang waved his hand casually and said, "This was just a coincidence. You might not be so lucky next time. Junior Sister Qiaoqian, you'd better be more careful."

After saying that, Chen Liang turned and disappeared into the night sky aboard his flying boat. Chen Qiaoqian, somewhat bewildered, stood there, her mind reeling.
