229: Helian Wushuang

He Lian Wushuang was completely unconcerned; he prided himself on his powerful strength and feared no one here.

Zu Dui Bie Ti Wo indeed had no choice but to accept his fate and let He Lian Wushuang accompany him to search for treasure.

"The intelligence I received is the location of a Spirit Monkey. That Spirit Monkey is very likely to be skilled in Alchemy, so when the time comes, I will only take the Spirit Monkey. Any other treasures found, such as various Medicinal Pills, will be handed over to Fellow Daoist He Lian."

Zu Dui Bie Ti Wo quickly made his decision.

He was only here to complete the System task; as long as he could bring back the Spirit Monkey, he didn't need to overthink anything else.

"That would be good."

He Lian Wushuang nodded. He was only here to take advantage of the situation, so there was no need to fall out with the other party.

The two walked together when suddenly, a black mist surged from ahead.

Zu Dui Bie Ti Wo immediately became vigilant. He swung his long spear, striking a bloody hand, followed by a spinning blood drop. Soon, numerous skulls appeared all around him, accompanied by gusts of eerie wind.

They had been ambushed by evil cultivators.

"Zu Dui Bie Ti Wo, hand over Midnight Gao Sou!"

"Heh, you actually hogged it all for yourself. How excessive!"

"Midnight Gao Sou is the leader of our evil cultivators. He should be handled by us; how can he fall into the hands of you Buddhist Cultivator!"

Hearing the shouts, Zu Dui Bie Ti Wo's expression remained unchanged. He simply raised his Buddhist light and confronted the evil cultivators.

Soon, several more Buddhist lights flew from a distance, colliding with the evil cultivators. These were none other than Zu Dui Bie Ti Wo's teammates, whom he had brought along. They had been hidden in the dark, waiting for this moment to strike.

From the very beginning, Zu Dui Bie Ti Wo knew that someone in his team would definitely sell information. The intelligence on Midnight Gao Sou couldn't be kept secret for too long.

However, as long as the mole was smart, he would surely sell it for a good price and not let everyone know.

He only needed to block these people's attacks to continue to exploit Midnight Gao Sou. Once he achieved a Breakthrough to Vajra and possessed strength comparable to a Golden Core, he naturally wouldn't fear schemes anymore.

Therefore, Zu Dui Bie Ti Wo was not overly shocked by the ambush; instead, he fought with even greater ferocity.

But soon, he realized something was wrong.

More and more black mist surged around them. There were many evil cultivators in the ambush, and the leader was an Immortal Foundation, wielding a decapitating saber, which made him feel suffocated.

"Fellow Daoist, do you need help?"

At this moment, He Lian Wushuang spoke with a cheerful tone.

There was a hint of flippancy in his voice, but it carried an unprecedented pressure.

"If you dare to interfere, we will fight you regardless!"

The evil cultivator leader, "Chasing Wolf Youth," held his decapitating saber, clad in a black robe, and glared menacingly at He Lian Wushuang.

Behind him, dozens of Mortal Foundation evil cultivators also stared intently at He Lian Wushuang.

Even an Immortal Foundation expert, when targeted by such a lineup, would surely not dare to act rashly.

He Lian Wushuang's most normal reaction would be to leave immediately and not get involved in this matter.

However, He Lian Wushuang merely smiled: "They are just some evil cultivators. Do they really think they are someone important?"

Chasing Wolf Youth frowned. He admitted that evil cultivators indeed had poor combat strength.

But to compensate for their combat strength, he had specifically brought a group of quickly trained Mortal Foundation cultivators, relying on overwhelming numbers. Individual combat strength was not a concern.

Just as he looked at He Lian Wushuang, intending to belittle him, He Lian Wushuang took the initiative to attack.

He raised one hand, his five fingers slightly bent, and instantly released a firebird. It flapped its wings and swiftly flew towards Chasing Wolf Youth.

Its speed was very fast, and the Blazing Fire on it made people uneasy.

Chasing Wolf Youth had no time to react and was immediately struck. His entire body then ignited, and the piercing pain forced him to immediately lower his pain System.

He quickly waved his hand and said, "Brothers, attack together!"

The other evil cultivators rushed forward, employing various insidious methods.

However, He Lian Wushuang merely smiled. With a wave of both hands and a flick of his sleeves, firebirds flew out, precisely striking each evil cultivator. The flames instantly engulfed them all.

Watching one Mortal Foundation evil cultivator after another fall to the ground, Chasing Wolf Youth's eyes nearly popped out.

Even he, as foolish as he was, understood that the Cultivation Technique the other party practiced must have a strong suppressive effect on evil cultivators. Fighting them was like a father beating his son, effortlessly done.

He then looked at the Blazing Fire burning on his body and suddenly thought of something, exclaiming in horror:

"You were the one who killed Jiang Yezi?"

Beside him, Zu Dui Bie Ti Wo was also startled.

Jiang Yezi had strong combat power and even possessed a Magic Treasure, yet he was easily ambushed and killed, even affecting his Soul. The next time he Reincarnated, he would carry negative effects.

He Lian Wushuang smiled and said, "Jiang Yezi? That foolish evil cultivator who carried a Magic Treasure but didn't know how to use it at all?"

Hearing this, Chasing Wolf Youth's heart turned cold, losing all fighting spirit. He flew directly into the distance, wanting to find someone to extinguish the Blazing Fire on his body.

The other evil cultivators also looked at each other, their hearts churning with shock. They abandoned Zu Dui Bie Ti Wo and also flew into the distance.

He Lian Wushuang did not pursue them. Instead, he turned his head with a smile, looking at Zu Dui Bie Ti Wo.

At this moment, Zu Dui Bie Ti Wo's face was also filled with surprise and shock.

He no longer held any contempt for He Lian Wushuang, nor did he dare to harbor any hostility. Cold sweat streamed down his face, and for a moment, he even wanted to self-destruct and Reincarnate.

Suddenly, He Lian Wushuang spoke:

"I heard that not long ago, you went to the Great Desert and snatched a Yao Beast that my Flame Fire Gang members were hunting?"

Upon hearing this, Zu Dui Bie Ti Wo's entire body trembled.

He never expected that hunting a Yao Beast in the Great Desert would provoke such a powerful expert!

"My Flame Fire Gang leader is in seclusion. You probably thought we were weak and easy to bully, didn't you?"

He Lian Wushuang's lips curled up as he watched the pitiful Buddhist Cultivator sweat profusely.

"This... this is a misunderstanding..."

"I don't need to hear your explanation."

He Lian Wushuang waved his hand, interrupting him: "You came to Mingshui Heaven to catch a Spirit Monkey. Now, take me there. The Spirit Monkey belongs to me."

Zu Dui Bie Ti Wo's face was filled with bitterness. The Spirit Monkey was a task requirement. If it were taken by someone else, the task System might get stuck, and Midnight Gao Sou would be rendered useless.

This was something he absolutely could not accept.

However, He Lian Wushuang's strength was simply too formidable. He was not an ordinary Immortal Foundation; he seemed to have cultivated some secret art, and Zu Dui Bie Ti Wo was no match for him at all.

As he hesitated, He Lian Wushuang spoke again:

"Just now, I heard those evil cultivators say that you also control Real Person Midnight? Interesting. I've long heard that you Extraterrestrial Demons can Reincarnate. I never thought this rumor was actually true."

He Lian Wushuang's tone was calm, but to the poor Buddhist Cultivator, it was like a clap of thunder from a clear sky.

"My Immortal Master Gan Wu from the Great Desert once gave a great gift to Real Person Midnight, so we have some acquaintance. Now that Real Person Midnight is in trouble, I, He Lian Wushuang, naturally cannot stand idly by... After we find the Spirit Monkey, take me to see him."
