Great Immortal With Boundless Mana

Chapter 80: Each Relying on Their Own Means

The courtyard where Hei She and the others lived was very secluded, and the surrounding cultivators had all been scared away by the rampant demonic beasts.

The battle had just ended, and the sound of the exploding Flame Bombs was a bit loud. The enclosed high walls also blocked out most of the sound.

Other cultivators who heard the commotion didn't dare to come out and watch the excitement at this time.

As for the patrol team, they wouldn't meddle in other people's business. Even if a demonic beast broke in, as long as it didn't cause too much trouble, they would pretend not to see it.

Gao Xian and Zhu Qianniang both had keen spiritual awareness, so if someone were to approach, they would be able to detect it in advance.

The two of them calmly cleaned up the battlefield, collecting valuable spirit stones, magical tools, elixirs, talismans, and so on.

Qingping, who had been knocked unconscious by the True Yang Spear, trembled slightly and woke up.

Gao Xian and Zhu Qianniang noticed the movement as soon as Qingping woke up. As soon as Qingping opened her eyes, she saw Gao Xian and Zhu Qianniang standing in front of her.

She was so frightened that the muscles on her face immediately tensed up, and her eyes were filled with fear.

Zhu Qianniang sized up Qingping. This woman had an ordinary appearance but exuded a mature charm. From her experience, men liked this kind of seductive woman.

If she were to handle it, she would naturally ask about the situation and then kill her with a single sword. However, in front of Gao Xian, she had to ask for Gao Xian's opinion.

This was not only because she had a deep affection for Gao Xian, but also out of courtesy and respect for her collaborator.

The fact that she lured the evil spirit to kill Zhu Hong'an showed Gao Xian's dark and sinister nature.

When fighting against the Ironscale Tiger, she felt that it wasn't Gao Xian's bravery, but rather his loyalty and strong emotions.

When he stealthily killed the Black Snake with a single sword, Gao Xian's decisiveness and ruthlessness were truly revealed.

This kind of Gao Xian, with a strong character and sufficient strength, was already a very terrifying cultivator.

Zhu Qianniang used to look down on Gao Xian, but now she completely regarded him as an equal and intimate collaborator.

She looked at Gao Xian, seeking his opinion with her eyes.

Qingping keenly noticed this detail. Of course, she knew Zhu Qianniang. This boss lady of the Changsheng Hall was known for her fighting skills in Feima City.

With Zhu Hong'an dead, Zhu Qianniang was now in charge. Such a prominent figure unexpectedly seemed to regard Gao Xian as the main person, which greatly exceeded Qingping's expectations.

However, considering that Gao Xian had killed the Black Snake with a single sword, Zhu Qianniang's attitude became reasonable.

Qingping looked at Gao Xian with anticipation. This man was quite obsessed with her body, and the two of them had been intimate together just the day before yesterday.

Moreover, she knew that Gao Xian was soft-hearted and couldn't resist her temptation.

But Qingping's heart quickly grew cold. She couldn't see any sympathy or pity in Gao Xian's face; he was calm to the point of indifference.

Qingping felt that something was not right. This kind of Gao Xian made her feel extremely unfamiliar and terrified.

She whispered, "A Xian, I was controlled and forced to do this..."

Before she could finish her sentence, tears silently streamed down her cheeks.

Gao Xian was somewhat impressed by Qingping. The tears came as soon as she spoke, and she cried so naturally.

She expressed all the emotions of grievance, weakness, helplessness, and desolation, along with her fragile body posture that allowed herself to be manipulated. It made people feel pity.

He felt sorry for Qingping. With such acting skills and manipulative tactics, if she had been born in his previous life, she could have controlled many men and lived a comfortable life.

Unfortunately, Qingping was born in the wrong place.

Zhu Qianniang also felt something. She knew that Qingping was acting, but there must be some genuine feelings in it.

For a female cultivator to survive in Tengshe Mountain was not so easy.

Zhu Qianniang looked at Gao Xian with some concern. She was afraid that Gao Xian would be softhearted.

Killing Hei She and so many cultivators has already forged an irreconcilable enmity with Chi She Gang. If Chi She Gang were to find out that they were responsible for this, there would be no peace in the future.

Leaving Qing Ping alive would mean bearing an exceptionally great risk!

But as a man, how many can withstand Qing Ping's pitiful and sorrowful appearance? How many can withstand Qing Ping's pleading words?

Moreover, Gao Xian's relationship with Qing Ping is a bit complicated!

Zhu Qi Niang is somewhat worried that Gao Xian has been deceived by Qing Ping, but she doesn't want to directly remind him.

Just as she was worrying, she heard Gao Xian calmly say, "Qi Niang, you handle it. I'll tidy up the courtyard."

Zhu Qi Niang felt relieved and nodded, "Alright, I'll take care of it."

Despair filled Qing Ping's heart as she looked at Gao Xian and said sorrowfully, "Ah Xian, you're so heartless..."

Gao Xian looked deeply at Qing Ping and said, "Sister Ping, you're too immersed in the act."

He sighed and said, "You plotted against me, and I plotted against you. May the best person win. If you lose, just accept your fate."

Qing Ping's face turned pale. Gao Xian's words punctured all her schemes and left her both shocked and embarrassed.

It turns out that Gao Xian knows everything. In Gao Xian's eyes, all her pretenses are probably very laughable...

Zhu Qi Niang didn't have so many emotions. She grabbed Qing Ping by the neck and dragged her into the room.

Gao Xian closed the door, but unfortunately, the screams from inside couldn't be blocked.

Gao Xian still felt a bit reluctant. Qing Ping is still quite entertaining, but she's just not a good person. What can he do about it?

He threw all the bodies in the courtyard into the east wing room, then checked a few rooms and found several volumes of books inside. They were all novels with erotic illustrations. There was also a book called "Mingzhou Travelogue."

A group of bandits and thieves, they have neither aesthetic taste nor the energy. The rooms were a mess, like pigsties.

Only these few books have some value.

Gao Xian arranged the bodies properly, then fetched a large pile of firewood and filled the inside and outside of the room with it.

Dealing with so many bodies would be troublesome, so it's safest to cremate them directly. It would also destroy all traces of the battle.

After Gao Xian finished his busy work, he saw Zhu Qi Niang carrying Qing Ping out.

Qing Ping's body was limp like a worm, her dilated pupils dark, and her breath completely cut off.

Zhu Qi Niang said to Gao Xian, "We've asked everything we needed to. Give her a quick death."

Gao Xian nodded. After Zhu Qi Niang placed Qing Ping's body, he used more than ten Yang Talismans to disperse any possible lingering spirits, preventing them from becoming evil spirits.

The two of them ignited the pile of firewood in the room. The flames grew larger and soon engulfed the roof.

The walls of this earthen house were made of wooden boards, so when it burned, the walls would burn along with it, eventually collapsing into a pile of rubble.

Gao Xian and Zhu Qi Niang watched from a distance until the raging fire completely consumed the house before they returned home.

They didn't use the main gate but climbed over the wall quietly and returned to the main house.

Da Niu came out upon hearing the sound of the door opening and took a glance. Gao Xian greeted him from inside, "It's me, everything's fine. Go back to sleep."

Da Niu didn't think much and obediently went back to sleep.

The two of them lit an oil lamp and placed all their gains from today on the table. Two storage bags, a robe, a flying sword, eleven different types of swords, twenty-three miscellaneous magical artifacts, and there were even more talismans and pills.

There were also quite a few spirit stones, a total of four medium-grade spirit stones, along with other low-grade spirit stones, totaling 1,425 pieces.

Gao Xian looked at the table full of spoils and couldn't help but smile.

The battle was dangerous and thrilling, but the rewards were worth the danger and excitement.

At least, looking back now, they made a big profit this time!
