The Cannon Fodder Turns His Sister Into A Soaring Phoenix C140

Chapter 140: Senior brother, take charge of the overall situation

“In the dusty and densely built West City block, a circular sandy area of a hundred feet suddenly appeared. Ye Anping stared at the golden bowl in the sand, squinting slightly. The massive sky-swallowing mouth that emerged from the ground just now was Xue Kun’s mouthpart. Anything swallowed by it would turn into sand and dust. A Nascent Soul cultivator bitten by it would lose half of his life.

However, this golden bowl managed to block Xue Kun’s mouthparts without any cracks on its surface. Judging from this effect, the golden bowl was probably a body-controlling magic weapon of the Core Formation Stage or even the Nascent Soul Stage. This thing was something other than what a casual cultivator could obtain.

After settling this matter, he felt it was necessary to investigate the background of his brother Liang. If he truly belonged to a prestigious family, bringing him to the Hundred Lotus Sect might create enmity between the sect and that influential family, making things difficult.

Feng Yudie, now recovered from her dazed state, asked, “Young Master Ye, what did the demon cultivator do?”

“He went mad. After the death of Zuo Min and Zi Tiancheng, he had to support all the remaining formations alone. With excessive spiritual energy consumption and witnessing the killing formation he had studied for a hundred years being effortlessly broken by Liang Zhu, he began to doubt life. In a moment of contemplation, he went berserk and exploded.”

But this golden bowl managed to block Xue Kun’s mouthparts, and there wasn’t even a crack on the bowl’s surface. From the looks of it, this golden bowl was likely a treasure of the Foundation Establishment or even the Nascent Soul stage. This was not something a rogue cultivator could quickly obtain.

After resolving this matter, he felt it was essential to investigate his brother Liang’s background. If he truly belonged to a noble family, bringing him to the Hundred Lotus Sect might create enmity between the sect and that influential family, making things difficult.

Feng Yudie, now recovered from her dazed state, asked, “Young Master Ye, what did the demon cultivator do?”

“He went insane. After Zuo Min and Zi Tiancheng died, he had to support all the remaining formations alone. With excessive spiritual energy consumption and witnessing the killing formation he had studied for a hundred years being effortlessly broken by Liang Zhu, he began to doubt life. In a moment of contemplation, he went berserk and exploded,” Ye Anping replied, pulled his bamboo hat, and jumped off the roof with his junior sister.

They approached the golden bowl, and he walked around, observing it. Finally, he gently tapped the bowl’s surface and called, “Brother Liang, are you still alive? Brother Six, I have brought someone to help you.”

The golden glow gradually faded, and the stone bowl on the ground flew into the air, shrinking to palm-sized in the sky, landing back in Liang Zhu’s hand. He looked at Ye Anping with resentful eyes and said nothing. Ye Anping raised his eyebrows, looking at the stone bowl in Liang Zhu’s hand.

“Brother Liang, what’s the origin of this bowl? It can block Xue Kun’s mouth without any damage.”

Liang Zhu opened his lips slightly, took a deep breath, and exhaled. He put the stone bowl back into his storage bag, adjusted his crooked bamboo hat, and glanced at Pei Lianxue and Feng Yudie, asking, “Was the performance entertaining?”

“Brother Liang’s dancing is famous far and wide. The sixth brother admires it.”

“Did you know I had this golden bowl, or did you want to sell me out here?”

“The sixth brother just believes in Brother Liang’s strength. Even if something happens to Brother Liang, I will help care for Ahting.”

Liang Zhu’s eyes twitched at the corners, and he said nothing. He rolled his eyes at Ye Anping, pulled off the bandage covering his face, took out a Spirit Gathering Pill, chewed it, and swallowed it. Using this golden bowl almost depleted the spiritual energy in his sea of Qi. He had to quickly recover by adjusting his breath.

At this moment, another dragon’s breath echoed in the sky.

Huhu—

The blood lotus above Chilong Mansion shrank for the third time, sprinkling red snowflakes around.

Ye Anping covered his bamboo hat and looked up momentarily before saying, “Now, the four of us are not seriously injured. Li Feng has four formations around him. Each of us will take care of one, break the formation, and the Red Refining Five Lotus Formation will be broken. Then we can leave. Doesn’t it sound simple?”

Liang Zhu listened and imagined in his mind, asking, “Breaking four formations in front of a Nascent Soul cultivator?”

“Yes.”

“How do we break them?”

“Forced demolition.”

Outside the main gate of the inner palace, over twenty palace guards were arranged in formation, and numerous horse-repelling stakes were set up. Together with the surviving sect cultivators, they established the final defense line to resist the onslaught of the blood spirits.

The leader, a palace guard holding a spear adorned in armor and feathers, issued a commanding shout, “No matter what, we must hold this ground. Those severely injured retreat into the palace while the rest get up and defend against the enemy.”

“Yes!!”

At that moment, a half-blooded cultivator from the sect approached, sternly complaining, “Where is Master Li? What is Master Li of Chilong Mansion doing? It’s been so long; why hasn’t he intervened? The demonic cultivators have even reached the inner palace!”

This complaint ignited the anger of the sect cultivators behind, and even the palace guard captain, observing the cultivators lying inside, couldn’t help but frown. He wondered why their palace master hadn’t taken action until now.

A senior with white hair stood up and questioned, “Exactly! We were invited to participate in the Chilong Conference, and now this has happened. Could it be that Li Feng, that old man, set a trap for us?”

“Yes! Where is Li Feng? He’s a Nascent Soul cultivator. Solving this should be within his capabilities. Why hasn’t he acted yet? Does he want to wait until we’re all wiped out before doing anything?”

Looking at the discontented cultivators, the palace guard captain couldn’t help but feel their frustration. Even he questioned why their palace master hadn’t taken action yet. The situation was dire, with nearly ten thousand casualties in Chilong Mansion. Glancing at everyone, the captain forcefully banged his spear on the ground.

Dong Dong——

“Silence!”

Then, he took a deep breath and said, “After this matter is resolved, Chilong Mansion will surely provide a reasonable explanation to each sect. For now, please be patient. If those blood spirits break into the inner palace, the consequences will be something none of you want to see.”

A guard from the inner palace, wrapped in bandages and half-covered in blood, ran over and whispered to the captain, “Captain, I’ve searched the inner palace, but there’s no sign of the master.”

“What about the young lady?”

“The young lady is also not found.”

Tsk… Keep searching!”

“Yes…”

At this moment, four cultivators with bamboo hats and bandaged faces entered the gate hall. The captain turned to see them, recognizing the group from earlier holding the young lady’s jade token at the Chilong Mansion gate. He approached them, bowing, “Your Excellency.”

The leader, Ye Anping, glanced at him, then surveyed the other sect cultivators in the gate hall, saying, “Instruct your guards to enter the city and search for survivors. The Blood Spirits aren’t formidable. You should be able to handle them easily.”

“But, Your Excellency, the city has three Core-Formation stage demonic cultivators.”

“They’re dead. The only threat in the city now is the cultivators tainted by red snow turned into Blood Spirits.”

Initially in disbelief, the captain remembered the golden dragon in the central district and didn’t question further, adding, “Please help reassure these sect cultivators. Master Li Xian is missing, and so is the young lady. If this continues, these people might…”

“Um…”

Ye Anping thought for a moment, then, seeing the gazes of the sect cultivators on him, stepped forward, showing Li Longling’s jade token and his Xuanxing Sect’s identity badge.

“Everyone, I am a disciple of Xuanxing Sect, holding the jade token of Chilong Mansion’s young lady, leading the palace guards to deal with this demonic cultivator invasion.”

Seeing the Xuanxing Sect’s badge, the sect cultivators were slightly surprised.

Ye Anping paused and continued, “Master Li is currently engaged in a battle with a Nascent Soul stage demonic cultivator and has no spare energy to come help here.”

“A Nascent Soul stage demonic cultivator? Has one come to the Western Region?”

“Yes, you should know that Master Li once fought alongside our Xuanxing Sect Master, Danyue Shangxian, against demonic cultivators. They drove those evil beings to the Eastern Region. So, please rest assured, Master Li will resolve this matter and provide an explanation.”

Ye Anping nodded to Feng Yudie and the others, then led them through the gate hall and continued toward the inner palace.
