"Wanyan Meng, next, follow me to the White Jade Mountain ten miles away. We'll set up a trap and kill the three Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Murong family who are tracking us. Then, we'll head to the Tian Nan Market!"
"Let's solve the Murong family in the Tian Nan Market first!"
Qin Wang's eyes showed determination.
The Murong family had a tracking technique, and being constantly tracked was not an option; they needed to be dealt with.
Wanyan Meng might have a mark from the Murong family on her. By taking her to the White Jade Mountain, the three Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Murong family would surely follow the mark and come.
"Deal with the Murong family? But... the Murong family has a Golden Core stage expert in the Tian Nan Market!"
Upon hearing Qin Wang's words, Wanyan Meng's beautiful eyes showed worry.
"I know."
Qin Wang nodded and said, "According to what I know, the Murong family's Golden Core cultivator in the Tian Nan Market is called Murong Changtian. He is actually a hermaphrodite and is currently pregnant, extremely stressed and unable to attend to other matters. Besides, we have the curse-blood bathing solution. We can figure out a way to pour it in the Murong family's territory to make them suffer bad luck!"
Yesterday, Qin Wang bathed in the curse-blood bathing solution and didn't waste the water.
He stored the bathwater, intending to pour it into the Murong family's territory.
Let the Murong family share the misfortune.
"What?"
"You kept it?"
Hearing Qin Wang's words, Wanyan Meng's eyes widened with surprise. She didn't expect that Daoist Li would even keep the bathwater instead of discarding it.
"Of course I kept it."
"This thing, once it sticks, will bring misfortune. It's a great way to harm the Murong family!"
Qin Wang smiled slightly as he spoke.
"You really have many tricks up your sleeve!"
Wanyan Meng laughed softly.
"Haha!"
Qin Wang laughed heartily, then led Wanyan Meng and left the cave, heading towards the White Jade Mountain.
Before long.
Qin Wang and Wanyan Meng arrived at the White Jade Mountain.
As its name suggests, White Jade Mountain is covered with white stones. In the cracks between the stones grow vines over ten feet tall. These vines are peculiar, covered with three-inch-long black thorns.
Qin Wang first took out the formation disk for the Thunder Sound Array. He intended to set up all three arrays here to trap the three Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Murong family.
He also concealed his cultivation at the early Foundation Establishment stage.
Meanwhile.
Qin Wang summoned Zhang Fujiang, who was digging a tunnel at Eagle Cliff.
He had already sent Zhang Fujiang to the direction of Eagle Cliff to dig a tunnel, aiming to excavate the left hand of the barbarian god as soon as possible.
Zhang Fujiang had been digging for many days with three soul servants, and they should be close to completing the task.
After killing the three Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Murong family today, he would return to continue digging.
Qin Wang busied himself for half an hour before finishing the setup of the three arrays.
Then.
Qin Wang hid the Earth Dragon Beast King underground within the formation and summoned the primordial spirit of Situ Yunfei and the soul of Wu Su to guard the place.
Wu Su's soul had been significantly rejuvenated after being nourished by the Millennium Soul-Warming Wood.
"Master, rest assured, I will first control one of the Foundation Establishment cultivators!"
As soon as Situ Yunfei appeared, he volunteered eagerly, showing his loyalty.
"Very good!"
Qin Wang nodded. With the primordial spirit of Situ Yunfei, even without a body, he could still eliminate the soul of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
"Zhang Fujiang greets the master!"
After waiting for another hour, Zhang Fujiang arrived, flying low on his sword, and respectfully bowed before Qin Wang.
"Hmm, rest for a while. The three Foundation Establishment cultivators will arrive soon. I have set up the formations."
Qin Wang nodded at Zhang Fujiang.
"Yes, master!"
Zhang Fujiang bowed and went to inspect the formations.
Time passed.
Soon, it was noon.
"Daoist Li, will the Murong family people really come?"
Wanyan Meng looked worried, glancing into the distance.
"They will."
"They should be here soon."
Qin Wang was confident, knowing that the intelligence panel wouldn't be wrong.
Just as Qin Wang finished speaking, three figures appeared ten miles away, flying on their swords. The three had already detected Qin Wang and Wanyan Meng with their spiritual senses and headed straight for them.
Before long.
The three were hovering three feet above Qin Wang and Wanyan Meng. The leading man looked down at Qin Wang, his eyes showing killing intent as he said harshly, "No wonder you dared to kill eight of my Murong family members; it turns out you're at the early Foundation Establishment stage!"
"Today, I will skin you alive, pull out your tendons, and refine your soul to avenge my eight nephews!"
With that, Murong Tai waved his hand, and the other two Foundation Establishment cultivators surrounded Qin Wang and Wanyan Meng.
"Is that so?"
Qin Wang spoke calmly, taking a step forward.
Boom!
Suddenly, the ground shook, and the surroundings changed. The White Jade Mountain vanished, replaced by a vast grassland!
"A formation? This..."
Murong Tai was shocked. He didn't expect the early Foundation Establishment cultivator to have prepared a formation here!
But so what?
He was a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator, and his two cousins were also in the Foundation Establishment stage!
Three Foundation Establishment cultivators against one should be a crushing victory!
First kill this person, then break the formation!
Murong Tai took a step forward, only to find his two cousins had disappeared, leaving him alone on the grassland. He gripped his top-grade spirit sword tightly, remaining vigilant.
Boom!
At that moment, he felt a sudden danger and leaped into the air, seeing a crimson serpent-like beast trying to swallow his legs!
"Beast, die!"
Murong Tai shouted, slashing his top-grade spirit sword down at the Earth Dragon Beast King!
Whoosh!
At that moment, Murong Tai felt a life-threatening danger and quickly abandoned the Earth Dragon Beast King, slashing his sword behind him while activating a pale yellow talisman, which formed a blue water shield around him.
It was a one-time second-grade talisman, the Water Spirit Shield.
Snap!!
A soft sound rang out as Murong Tai felt a pain in his side. The Water Spirit Shield talisman couldn't fully activate before a crimson sword aura pierced through!
In a flash, Murong Tai dodged but still lost a chunk of flesh and a rib!
"Ah!!"
"You... you hid your cultivation level!"
Murong Tai screamed, clutching his side wound, looking at the young cultivator in terror. He realized that the young cultivator was not at the early Foundation Establishment stage but at the same mid-stage as himself!
Murong Tai looked around, hoping his cousins would join the fight.
But his cousins were nowhere to be seen.
"Stop looking. Your two companions are already dead."
Qin Wang held the Purple Moon Sword, looking at Murong Tai with indifference.
He sensed with his spiritual awareness.
One of the two Foundation Establishment cultivators Murong Tai brought was disturbed by Situ Yunfei's primordial spirit and was killed by Zhang Fujiang with a chest-piercing strike. The other was entangled by Mu Hun'er and Chu Hun Si and was then killed by Zhang Fujiang, who had finished his previous target.
Wu Su didn't even have to intervene.
"No... impossible!"
Murong Tai's eyes filled with terror. He turned and fled.
But injured, Murong Tai's speed was greatly reduced. He was repeatedly attacked by the Earth Dragon Beast King and intermittently stabbed by Qin Wang's sword, eventually leading to his death.
Qin Wang took out the Soul-Gathering Pot and collected the souls of Murong Tai and the other two cultivators.
