Mortals cultivate immortality, and their IQ is playing with their heartbeats

#280 - The Path to Ascension is Cut Off

Having said that, Hua Zixuan laughed heartily, reached out and took the necklace from Yaoqi's neck, and said softly, "Such treasures are naturally for those who are destined to have them.

It's just temporarily stored with you; ultimately, its destination should be here with me."

Hua Zixuan beamed with joy, her smugness overflowing.

Yaoqi was so angry that her eyes were spitting fire, and she almost fainted. Her eyes were red, and tears welled up.

Full of grief and indignation, she cried, "You are really infuriating! All these treasures are going to be taken away by you, and I still have to suffer your bullying. If you have the ability, then kill me!"

Hua Zixuan smiled lightly and said, "Kill you? That would be too boring.

I'm not like that Li Chengfeng, a great demon who kills people everywhere. I only like to play with people's hearts."

Just as Hua Zixuan was feeling smug and radiant, suddenly, the space behind her rippled, and a deep vortex quietly emerged.

It was as silent as a ghost, yet it made her hair stand on end and her heart palpitate.

She suddenly turned around, a trace of astonishment flashing in her eyes, and then quickly gathered all her cultivation and mana, condensing a special finger qi at her fingertip, which shot out through the air.

Although Hua Zixuan was only at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, this finger seemed to condense all her will and hope, bursting out with power far exceeding the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

This was her last trump card, and also her only hope.

However, when this finger pointed at the figure in the vortex, it seemed to touch a nonexistent bubble and disappeared instantly.

From within the vortex, the figure of Li Chengfeng slowly emerged, but it was only a residual image.

While Hua Zixuan was still in shock, countless colorful butterflies flew in from all directions, dancing gracefully and surrounding her.

These butterflies were as agile as elves, each emitting a faint light, as if carrying a mysterious power.

Hua Zixuan was shocked by this sudden scene, as if she were in a dreamlike garden.

Everything in front of her became blurred, and flowers and butterflies intertwined into a beautiful picture, making her temporarily forget the danger of reality.

However, just as Hua Zixuan was immersed in this wonderful illusion, the real Li Chengfeng had quietly appeared behind her.

Li Chengfeng gently pressed a palm on Hua Zixuan's back, and a powerful sealing force surged out, firmly pinning Hua Zixuan to the spot.

Then, Li Chengfeng reached out and took the necklace from Hua Zixuan's neck and the storage bag from her body, and turned to leave.

And those butterflies surrounding Hua Zixuan also dissipated, turning into specks of light and disappearing into the air.

Only then did Yaoqi wake up from her dream and discover that Hua Zixuan had already been subdued by Li Chengfeng.

Her heart was filled with fear, and she quickly begged for mercy, "Li Chengfeng, Fellow Daoist Li, I haven't offended you. Please, please let me go. This Demon Binding Lock is a good treasure; you can have it."

However, Li Chengfeng only smiled faintly, and with a flick of his finger, the Demon Binding Lock flew back into his hand.

He carefully observed the Demon Binding Lock, a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes.

It turned out that this Demon Binding Lock was actually a high-grade magical artifact, but a peculiar formation had been set up inside, making its appearance look unremarkable.

Li Chengfeng's heart stirred. The aura of this formation was surprisingly similar to the famous Nine Profound Dragon Array of the Qingyun Sect.

He immediately understood the origin of this Demon Binding Lock and also knew its value.

The three disciples of the Qingyun Sect each had their own strengths and characteristics. The first disciple, Qiufeng Yue, was arrogant, conceited, and looked down on everyone.

The second disciple, Hua Zixuan, was a little swindler who liked to deceive people and play with people's hearts.

And the third disciple, Ye Bitong, was a formation master, proficient in all kinds of profound formation techniques.

This Demon Binding Lock was obviously made by this formation master.

Li Chengfeng smiled slightly and put the Demon Binding Lock into his storage bag. He already had a plan in mind to take this Demon Binding Lock back and study it carefully to see if he could comprehend more of the Dao of Formation from it.

After the Demon Binding Lock was removed, although Yaoqi regained her ability to move, she still seemed a little stiff when moving her hands and feet, and her eyes were filled with deep fear when she looked at Li Chengfeng.

She knew Li Chengfeng's methods well and dared not act rashly. She quickly said, "Fellow Daoist Li, don't worry, I will never reveal your whereabouts. I'll take my leave now."

After speaking, she turned to leave, but then looked back at Hua Zixuan, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in her eyes, "But before I leave, please let me take this damn swindler away, so as not to dirty Fellow Daoist Li's eyes."

Hearing this, Hua Zixuan immediately looked at Li Chengfeng with tears in her eyes, and choked, "Fellow Daoist Li, I haven't deceived you. Are you really so heartless to deal with such a cute and shy woman?"

Li Chengfeng was too lazy to pay attention to Hua Zixuan's crying and turned to leave, as if he had no interest in the dispute between these two people.

He knew in his heart that the remaining matters should be resolved by these two women themselves.

As for the dispute between the Qingyun Sect and the Myriad Demon Sect, what kind of sparks would be created was beyond his concern.

Looking at Yaoqi gradually approaching, Hua Zixuan finally couldn't restrain the fear in her heart and said loudly, "Fellow Daoist Li, I have something to tell you, I have a secret to tell you!"

Li Chengfeng stopped, but did not turn around, only said coldly, "Don't think about deceiving me, because I don't believe every word you say."

Seeing that Li Chengfeng was unmoved, Hua Zixuan was anxious and knew that if she didn't make things clear, she would probably be doomed.

So she took a deep breath and said loudly, "Fellow Daoist, I actually came here this time to look for you, not to harm you, but to ask for something!

I have discovered a special place that only you can go to, because you have strange and unpredictable teleportation methods.

And that mysterious place can only be entered with your Whirlwind Teleportation technique, plus my junior sister's Dao of Formation.

There are interstellar remnants inside. It is said that the path to ascension has now been cut off, and the star field seems to be separated by formations.

And if these interstellar remnants can find their gaps, they can help cultivators open up the passage to the Spirit World.

Of course, this is just my idea."

Hearing this, Li Chengfeng finally stopped.

He turned around, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.

This secret was indeed a great temptation for him, after all, being able to open up the passage to the Spirit World was something that every cultivator dreamed of.

However, he also knew the danger and uncertainty of this mission and needed to consider it carefully.

After pondering for a moment, Li Chengfeng smiled indifferently, "Your secret can be described as worrying about the sky falling.

Even if you really can't ascend, so what? My strength is still shallow, so there is no need to worry too much.

This may be a topic for your junior sister from the Qingyun Sect. You study it together, you are responsible for collecting spirit stones, and your senior brother is responsible for finding treasures related to space and

meteorites to explore the interstellar path. This is indeed a good way to cover people's ears and eyes."

After listening to Li Chengfeng's speculation, Hua Zixuan was completely speechless and smiled bitterly, "You can even guess this. It seems that I really can't deceive you. Fellow Daoist Li, you are truly unparalleled in wisdom."

Li Chengfeng waved his hand and smiled, "Spare me that flattery, I'm not interested in bootlicking.

However, I am indeed a little interested in your junior sister and want to make friends with her.

I will take you away now, and I hope you can say a few good words for me after you see her."

Hua Zixuan was overjoyed and quickly said, "Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Li, I will definitely introduce you to my junior sister. By the way, Fellow Daoist Li, do you also have some research on formations?"

Li Chengfeng nodded and smiled, "I like formations very much. This trip to Qinghai City is indeed to see your junior sister."

Hua Zixuan suddenly realized and smiled, "So that's how it is. Then it's better to act sooner rather than later. I'll take you to see her now."

After speaking, Li Chengfeng waved his hand, and a whirlwind instantly teleported Hua Zixuan to the Living World space.

Then, Li Chengfeng turned to Yaoqi and said indifferently, "You can go now, there's nothing for you here."

Yaoqi said somewhat helplessly, "You are all going to pursue such great things, can't you count me in?"

Li Chengfeng glanced at Yaoqi and smiled, "Do you have anything outstanding about you?"
