Murong Zhan couldn't believe it. Looking at Qin Wang, he pressed on the bleeding hole in his chest, but the blood wouldn't stop. His eyes gradually dimmed, and he collapsed with a thud.
At the same time, the seven other late-stage Qi Refining disciples of the Murong family also fell, making their final death struggles.
"Collect!"
Qin Wang took out a black alms bowl, creating a three-foot whirlpool that sucked in the souls of Murong Zhan and the others.
Meanwhile, Zhang Fujiang's figure flew over, sending eight fireballs that set the bodies of Murong Zhan and the others ablaze instantly. The firelight illuminated Wanyan Meng's face, revealing deep shock in her eyes.
"It's him! Li Xiaoye!"
Wanyan Meng looked at Qin Wang, who had arrived on his sword, utterly shocked. She hadn't expected that in this critical moment, Li Xiaoye would save her.
"Thank you, Senior Li, for saving me!"
Wanyan Meng deeply bowed to Qin Wang, expressing her gratitude.
"No need to thank me. I was just passing by and happened to save you."
Qin Wang waved his hand at Wanyan Meng and said, "Come on up! I'll take you away!"
"I... I'm a jinx. People close to me end up unlucky. I don't want to bring misfortune to you, Senior!"
"Thank you for saving me, Senior!"
Wanyan Meng, looking at Qin Wang with worried eyes, turned to leave.
"No worries. Your misfortune doesn't affect me."
"Come on up!"
Qin Wang assured her. His intelligence indicated that the cause-and-effect force on him surpassed the misfortune on Wanyan Meng, allowing him to negate her bad luck.
"Ah..."
As Wanyan Meng hesitated, Qin Wang urged, "Hurry up, the Murong family has left a mark on you. What if they come again?"
Seeing this, Wanyan Meng nodded and quickly got onto Qin Wang's flying sword, holding tightly to his clothes. It was her first time in the air, and she was quite nervous.
Whoosh!
Qin Wang flew swiftly into the sky, heading into the distance.
After Zhang Fujiang finished cleaning up, he collected the eight storage bags and followed on his sword.
"Senior, please put me down ahead!"
"I have an ancient curse. The misfortune is heavy. Anyone near me will eventually be unlucky. I'm serious..."
After flying for nearly a hundred miles and arriving above a cliff, Wanyan Meng looked at Qin Wang, her eyes full of concern.
She knew her own situation well. Li Xiaoye had saved her; she couldn't bring him bad luck.
"No worries, you don't have to call me Senior. Just call me Li Xiaoye or Daoist Li."
Qin Wang smiled at Wanyan Meng as he landed on a large rock.
"Okay... Daoist Li."
Wanyan Meng blinked, then nodded without fuss.
"By the way, Wanyan Meng, I want to discuss something with you."
Qin Wang pondered for a moment before speaking.
Currently, Wanyan Meng was at the twelfth layer of Qi Refining, indicating she had excellent cultivation potential.
"Please go ahead, Daoist Li."
Wanyan Meng, puzzled, looked at him with her beautiful eyes.
"Your misfortune brings bad luck to others. I have an idea!"
"I want you to go to my enemy's place and hang around, making them unlucky. In return, I'll help you find opportunities and aid your Foundation Establishment. What do you think?"
Qin Wang examined Wanyan Meng, speaking slowly.
The Tianchu Immortal Dynasty had been hunting him for a long time, with a high bounty causing all the cultivators in the southern region to pursue him. He couldn't let this grudge go unanswered.
Having Wanyan Meng roam around the Tianchu Immortal Dynasty's palace every day would surely bring them bad luck. Only by causing misfortune to the Tianchu Immortal Dynasty could he find peace of mind.
"Ah?!"
Hearing Qin Wang's proposal, Wanyan Meng widened her eyes. She was smart and astute. She asked cautiously, "Daoist Li, where do you want me to go?"
To be honest, Li Xiaoye's idea seemed feasible. Everyone who had contact with her ended up unlucky.
If she often visited her enemy's residence, they would indeed be unlucky.
"The Tianchu Immortal Dynasty."
Qin Wang looked at Wanyan Meng, speaking firmly.
"The Tianchu Immortal Dynasty?"
Wanyan Meng was stunned. She hadn't expected that Li Xiaoye's enemy was the Tianchu Immortal Dynasty.
At that moment, Wanyan Meng thought of many things. Recently, there were two people with grudges against the Tianchu Immortal Dynasty. One was Qin Tiedan, who was being hunted and had a bounty on him throughout the southern region. The other was the mysterious person who exposed the Tianchu Immortal Dynasty's ancestor, Chu Yunxiao, for killing Tuoba Chunyun and obtaining the inheritance of Tianxiao Ancestor.
Of course, the Tianchu Immortal Dynasty had many enemies. Li Xiaoye's intelligence couldn't be related to Qin Tiedan or the mysterious person.
"Yes, my ancestors were harmed by the Tianchu Immortal Dynasty, losing our family's inheritance. My family's goal for generations has been to overthrow the Tianchu Immortal Dynasty!"
"But I only have a Foundation Establishment cultivation, not enough to fight a Nascent Soul level force like the Tianchu Immortal Dynasty. However, your misfortune can bring them bad luck. This misfortune is very powerful. As long as you wander around the Tianchu Immortal Dynasty's palace, making them unlucky, I'll help you with Foundation Establishment!"
"I'll also protect you. What do you think?"
Qin Wang looked at Wanyan Meng, making his offer.
"How long do I need to wander around the Tianchu Immortal Dynasty's palace?"
Wanyan Meng pondered. She was currently at the twelfth layer of Qi Refining, considering Foundation Establishment. On her own, obtaining a Foundation Establishment Pill was uncertain, but with Li Xiaoye's help, it would be much easier.
This was a deal she could accept.
However, she needed to know the duration in advance.
"I need to see the effect. At least until Chu Yunxiao of the Tianchu Immortal Dynasty has a significant downfall. Let's set it for a year. How about it?"
Qin Wang considered and replied.
He had the intelligence panel, and the misfortune of the Tianchu Immortal Dynasty would be displayed. He would know immediately when it happened.
Wanyan Meng thought for a moment, then nodded, "Alright, I agree!"
Foundation Establishment had been her dream. Spending a year in the Tianchu Immortal Dynasty for Foundation Establishment was acceptable.
"Good!"
"Then it's settled. I have a Tianqing Fruit here, as a down payment. Later, I'll get you a Foundation Establishment Pill to help you advance!"
Qin Wang said, taking out a box with a restriction from his storage bag and sending it to Wanyan Meng.
Wanyan Meng opened the box to see a fist-sized light green fruit inside, exuding a rich medicinal fragrance.
"Daoist Li Xiaoye, when do we start heading to the Tianchu Immortal Dynasty?"
Wanyan Meng asked expectantly, her big eyes shining.
"In about half a month."
Qin Wang thought for a moment and replied.
His intelligence indicated that Chu Wuyai of the Tianchu Immortal Dynasty had invited the Witch King's Bancheng from the Witch Tribe to perform a Soul Tracing. He needed to relay Bancheng's information to the three Witch Kings chasing him, so Bancheng couldn't track him down.
At the same time, he had to gather more information on Bancheng to find a way to avoid being traced.
