Longevity: From Being Pushed By The Witch

Taoshan Island.

Compared to the other eight battlefield islands, although the fighting here is equally intense and lively, it lacks a great deal of oppressive feeling.

Especially Su Ling.

After dealing with that Nascent Soul Demon Lord, she gave herself a reason for being seriously injured and lazily leaned against the ancient tree not far from the formation flag.

Although there were many demonic cultivators who came to harass in the meantime, they were basically blocked outside.

Only a few flies occasionally flew in, requiring her to personally swat them to death.

Time passed little by little.

Until the battle on the island was nearing its end, and the formation flag could only be fully activated in the last moment.

But then, a streak of green light came rushing from a distance, harvesting a group of Foundation Building junior demonic cultivators with ease, and then quickly fled into the distance in front of her.

Su Ling raised an eyebrow.

"This guy's swordsmanship has actually reached this level?"

She glanced at the formation flag, then transmitted a message to her two companions, and followed closely behind that streak of green light.

The other two fellow Daoists from Tiangang Sect and Lingzhao Mountain didn't recognize that green silhouette as Ji Boying for a moment.

But...

Su Ling had already said so, so they couldn't say much.

After all, the other party was a monstrous being who casually killed a Nascent Soul Patriarch.

If they accidentally angered him and he casually taught them a lesson, it would really not be worth it.

And so...

They could only watch as Su Ling chased after that streak of light and completely left the Taoshan Island area.

---

After a few breaths.

Su Ling followed Ji Boying to a small island nearby.

As for the demonic cultivators on the island, after Ji Boying cleaned up and intimidated them, they all scattered and fled.

"Have you dealt with everything on your side?"

Su Ling looked at Ji Boying and casually asked.

"I've dealt with everything, just two Nascent Soul cultivators, I didn't go for the others, afraid of running out of time."

Ji Boying answered truthfully.

After hesitating for a moment, he added an explanation:

"The first Patriarch of the Kong Family, in the early stage of Nascent Soul, I overestimated his strength. After using two derived talismans, I directly shattered his Law Manifestation, and then for some reason, he died inexplicably."

"I suspect that he had hidden injuries, otherwise he wouldn't have been so weak."

"As for the second Patriarch of the Zhang Family, in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, I tangled with him for a long time. I was no match for him with just temporary talismans, I could only delay time with the pre-drawn talismans, and then use the simplified version of the Five Thunder derived talisman that you taught me to deal with him."

"Afterwards, when I saw that the time was almost up, I used my Body Refining cultivation to kill him."

"Although the fight didn't last long, I gained a lot from it, at least... I can clearly see my many shortcomings."

"It's good that you gained something."

Su Ling nodded.

After all, battles at this level generally don't last too long unless one side intentionally delays time.

It was naturally a good thing for Ji Boying to gain something.

She paused for a moment and continued:

"In about another quarter of an hour, the Nine Dragons Shaking the Earth Formation will be fully activated, and at that time... the demonic cultivators from the Demon Temple will realize that they have been played by us."

"In the counterattack, they will be more difficult to deal with than the cultivators at Qiandao Lake."

"I know, that's why I came to find you in advance."

Ji Boying chuckled, then asked:

"When do we leave?"

"Leave?"

Su Ling raised an eyebrow and asked in return, "Why do we need to leave?"

Ji Boying was taken aback by her words, then suddenly realized what Su Ling had said to him before.

This mission was primarily to hone their talisman dao!

It turns out... regardless of whether the mission is successful or not, the outcome, she came here to hone her talisman dao!

Even if the Nine Dragons Shaking the Earth Formation has been activated and the Heavenly Demon Temple has turned traitor, I must stay behind and continue to fight!

"This is a rare opportunity."

"After the formation is activated later, we will take the initiative to stay behind and guard the rear."

Just then, Su Ling spoke again.

"With so many demonic cultivators, practicing talisman-making in this environment will greatly benefit your talisman path!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Boying couldn't help but feel a bit bitter.

But at this point, it was useless to say anything.

Su Ling had already made up her mind to let him stay behind, and even if he wanted to leave, he couldn't.

In this way, after a brief chat, the two returned to Taoshan Island.

And...

As time passed...

The Nine Dragons Shaking the Earth Formation finally fully activated!

In an instant...

The nine giant pillars of light that connected heaven and earth expanded dozens of times!

The dazzling light even illuminated the entire Qiandao Lake as if it were daytime.

Upon seeing this scene, the people of the Heavenly Demon Temple all turned their gaze towards the formation flags they were guarding.

And it was at this moment...

A loud noise came from underground.

In an instant...

The mountains crumbled, and the heavens and earth turned upside down!

The entire Qiandao Lake seemed like a handful of water in a porcelain bowl, constantly shaking under the influence of a terrifying force.

And beneath the lake, the mid-grade spiritual veins were also severed inch by inch, and countless spiritual energy scattered out!

"What's going on?! Why did the spiritual veins break?!"

In the Heavenly Demon Temple, an Nascent Soul old ancestor instantly sensed the abundant spiritual energy and realized that something was wrong.

Just as he was about to ask what was happening...

Another loud noise came from underground.

Before long...

A terrifying force erupted from the ground, directly shattering the main island in the middle of Qiandao Lake!

And the spiritual veins buried underground, like stranded dragons, were all exposed piece by piece in the air.

The people near the main island all rushed to look at the spiritual veins, hoping to find the so-called spiritual marrow from them.

But...

After a thorough investigation, they found nothing.

"What's going on?! Wasn't this formation supposed to be a killing formation?! Why did it destroy the spiritual veins?!"

"And where is the spiritual marrow?! Why is there no spiritual marrow beneath these spiritual veins?!"

Not only the Heavenly Demon Temple, but even Qi Yan was also at a loss.

Clearly, the purpose of this mission was to destroy the spiritual marrow, but... after the formation was activated, there was nothing on the island except for the mid-grade spiritual veins!

Ji Boying looked at Su Ling beside him and asked:

"Is this mission really just about destroying a mid-grade spiritual vein?"

Su Ling looked at everything in front of her and said calmly:

"The mission description is indeed like that, but..."

"The purpose is not so simple."

"What do you mean?!"

Ji Boying asked urgently.

He always felt that there was some conspiracy behind this.

And it had unclear connections with the Heavenly Demon Temple and even the Ten Thousand Paths Trading Company!

Su Ling chuckled and continued:

"Your current level of authority is not enough to know these things."

"When you become a member of the Ten Thousand Paths Pavilion and enter the top thirty-six, then come find me for the answers."

"Now, what you need to do..."

"Is to use your talisman path to help me escape the encirclement of the Heavenly Demon Temple and Qiandao Lake's demonic cultivators, and return to the Azure Dragon Immortal City!"
