Chapter 330: Teleporting Back

This female cultivator was, of course, Song Jiulai.

Seeing the urgency of the situation, she knew she couldn’t rely on anyone else.

Su Huanli was the second person she had met in this world, after A Wu, and she had helped her immensely.

Besides, she didn’t believe Su Huanli hadn’t noticed how strange it was that she had summoned dozens of disciples the day after receiving the puppet.

The scent of the medicine powder was so obvious.

Su Huanli might have had her suspicions, but she had never said a word about it.

Song Jiulai couldn’t just stand by and watch Su Huanli die.

She had simply made the system teleport her back to First Mountain!

While the energy consumed wasn’t as much as it would be for a life-threatening crisis, it was still an enormous amount.

The cost made Song Jiulai’s heart bleed.

What’s more, she would have to find a way back after this was over, which would cost another huge sum!

’This is my life we’re talking about!’

’My money!’

But this Golden Core Stage cultivator was no pushover.

Although the Prosperous Scenery Tower had enveloped him, Song Jiulai had also used the Moonlight Sword Technique to block his path.

The cultivator sensed something was slightly off. With a mere wave of his hand, a giant palm materialized and forcefully swatted away Song Jiulai’s Magic Treasure.

He even dodged the Moonlight Sword Technique’s attack and shattered it with a single palm strike.

But as he dodged the Moonlight Sword Technique, his eyes narrowed slightly.

’This Cultivation Technique...’

’It’s very strange.’

Song Jiulai felt a powerful resistance unlike any she had encountered before.

The Prosperous Scenery Tower couldn’t advance another inch.

This was a genuine Golden Core Stage cultivator.

Fortunately, he was likely only in the Golden Core Early Stage, so his suppressive power wasn’t completely overwhelming.

He was just an entire major Level higher...

Ordinarily, no one could fight a cultivator a whole major Level above them.

Meanwhile, Ma Feng frowned deeply as he watched Song Jiulai appear out of thin air.

’Late-stage Qi Refining?’

Song Jiulai was still concealing her cultivation!

In anyone’s eyes, she was just a simple and harmless Late-stage Qi Refining cultivator.

But a Magic Treasure used by someone at Late-stage Qi Refining couldn’t possibly possess such power.

For her to appear from nowhere and attack without him noticing, her cultivation couldn’t possibly be what it seemed.

’To think I can’t even see through her.’

That Cultivation Technique just now... although he could block it, it held a disquieting power.

Wary, Ma Feng’s tone softened. "Fellow Daoist, which Sect are you from?"

Calling her "Fellow Daoist" clearly meant he assumed Song Jiulai was at the same Level as him.

Song Jiulai pressed her lips together, then said slowly, "You’re not from the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect, are you, Fellow Daoist?"

Ma Feng’s eyes narrowed.

He knew he stood out, but her confidence was surprising. Still, he nodded. "Correct. I am from the Tianyang Sect."

’The Tianyang Sect?’

’Someone from the Tianyang Sect again!’

Song Jiulai recalled that the unrest at the border was because people from the Tianyang Sect, including Demon Cultivators, were able to sneak across.

To think this man was also from the Tianyang Sect.

Song Jiulai fell silent, as if lost in thought.

Behind them, Gu Yunxi’s eyes widened when he saw Song Jiulai appear.

Even though Song Jiulai didn’t have her original face, the moment he saw the Moonlight Sword Technique—a skill only disciples of their Sect would know—Gu Yunxi knew who it was.

’Who else would dare to take on a Golden Core Stage cultivator right now?’

"Mom, is that Mom who’s here?!"

He hastily sought confirmation from his system.

System: "Show some respect. That’s your Sect Master!"

After saying that, it added, "Get Su Huanli out of here right now."

Gu Yunxi froze, glancing instinctively at the male cultivator in front of him. "How am I supposed to do that? Golden Core Stage cultivators have Divine Sense! It’s like they have eyes in the back of their heads..."

Of course, he would soon find out how.

Ma Feng, focusing his attention on Song Jiulai, tried to ask for her name. "May I ask for your name, Fellow Daoist...?"

Song Jiulai pretended to ponder, even replying, "What a question, Fellow Daoist. When you trespass on someone else’s territory, shouldn’t you be the first to announce your name? —"

Her words seemed reasonable, but at that very moment, Song Jiulai attacked again!

Using Lotus Birth Kill, she closed the distance to Ma Feng in the blink of an eye.

The Prosperous Scenery Tower and Palm Thunder came crashing down on him simultaneously.

She was striking at the very moment Ma Feng was caught off guard.

Ma Feng truly hadn’t expected Song Jiulai, who had been speaking so calmly, to attack again.

Frankly, in a situation like this, the priority should have been to figure out each other’s backgrounds. Since they were both at the Golden Core Stage, there was no need for a fight to the death.

Who knew that Song Jiulai was aiming to kill and had no sense of honor, attacking in the middle of a conversation.

Wouldn’t a normal person have been completely incapacitated by that?!

Ma Feng was on guard, but he was still genuinely surprised.

His speed as a Golden Core Stage cultivator was not slow, but he was forced into a dangerously close shave. A sword technique materialized in the sky, and Ma Feng’s face twisted in rage. "Fellow Daoist, you’re courting death!"

’How dare she come right up to me.’

He threw a palm strike, but it was slightly affected by the Moonlight Sword Technique, slowing him down. He was almost trapped inside that Magic Treasure!

At this moment, the system immediately urged Gu Yunxi on.

"Hurry!"

Gu Yunxi’s reaction wasn’t slow either. Taking advantage of the fight that had broken out, he immediately used the Shui Lang Wuhen Step, scooped up Su Huanli, and ran.

As a life-style player who cherished his life, the first thing he had trained was this Water Element Speed Type Skill.

’Thank god.’

This Cultivation Technique was truly heaven-defying. Though he was only at the Foundation Establishment Stage, as long as there was a bit of moisture on the ground, Gu Yunxi’s figure would merge with the vapor, floating nearly a hundred meters away in the blink of an eye.

This was him giving it his all.

He didn’t dare to look back even once.

He was terrified that the Golden Core Stage cultivator would turn around and strike them down.

After all, if the Golden Core Stage cultivator gave chase, he really couldn’t outrun him over the few hundred meters he covered in just a few breaths.

Gu Yunxi ran back without hesitation, holding Su Huanli. "What cultivation level is our Mom at? She has to win!"

And to think the Sect Master would appear in a situation like this.

’It makes me feel so secure!’

Meanwhile, Ma Feng noticed Gu Yunxi’s strange Cultivation Technique and was surprised by his terrifying speed, but he couldn’t spare the attention to chase him.

Because Song Jiulai was tying him down.

That palm strike he had launched—Song Jiulai hadn’t blocked it at all. She had taken it head-on with her physical body.

Unless a cultivator’s body has been tempered, they usually rely on Spiritual Energy for protection.

A normal cultivator wouldn’t be able to withstand his palm strike and would be instantly turned to dust, let alone taking it head-on.

But unexpectedly, when the palm strike landed, Song Jiulai was indeed sent flying.

She stumbled back several steps upon landing, but she only turned her head aside and spat out a mouthful of blood.

If one looked closely, they would notice a faint golden tinge in her blood.

Song Jiulai casually wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth.

She popped a Fourth-rank Blood Replenishing Pill into her mouth. Not only was she full of life again, but she also had a rough grasp of the situation.

Ma Feng, however, lost his composure. He stared at the unharmed Song Jiulai in disbelief. "You have a defensive Magic Treasure!"

"And that Magic Treasure must be of the highest quality among the Earth Grade! Otherwise, it would be impossible to take my palm strike at such close range and be unharmed."

"You have to understand, my Cultivation Technique is from a Major Sect!"
