Chapter 248: Paying for Survival (1/2)

The battle of the Mother River finally ended. In the end, both sides suffered heavy losses. After the huge Nine Nether Wood lost the second statue, it fled in a panic.

The injured top-notch cultivators were all meditating. At their level, they would not be easily injured. Once they were injured, it would not be a simple injury.

The injuries caused by the Spiritual Root of Heaven and Earth, the Nine Nether Wood, would probably take a month or even a year or two to recover.

However, without them, Jiang Li, the Alliance Leader, had the greatest status and strength among everyone present. Now, he was at the critical moment to gather the spoils of war.

Under such circumstances, it was really difficult for him not to put more things in his coffin.

Jiang Li dragged his ”exhausted” body and used the large-scale Nine Nether Wood Realm again.

In this battle, the greatest loot was naturally the demonic statue that had been torn from the huge Nine Nether Wood.

Although the Ghost Lantern Cold Flame had already burned away the will and Nine Nether spiritual qi, the essence of this thing did not change.

Regardless of whether it was him or the Nine Nether clone, it was extremely useful.

The second greatest gain was the Ghost Lantern Cold Flame.

The souls and spiritual qi burned away from the Nine Nether Wood were of extremely high quality and there were countless of them.

This portion of energy did not disappear into thin air. Instead, it turned into the nourishment of the Ghost Lantern Cold Flame, causing it to grow more than ten times.

In the center of the black flame, there was even a faint trace of white. The Ghost Lantern Cold Flame was undergoing a transformation. Once the transformation was successful, its power would definitely increase drastically.

In this battlefield, there happened to be something that could accelerate the transformation of the cold flames.

Over a thousand Ghost Lantern Fish corpses were mixed in the rain of corpses and fell from the sky.

As long as he consumed their Ghost Lanterns, Jiang Li would be able to quickly increase his cold flame level through refinement.

Apart from that, there were countless corpses on the ground. Especially those corpses of the extinct races, they could be sold for quite a number of spirit stones just as specimens.

He used the Nine Nether Wood Realm to gather a large number of valuable corpses and take away all the roots that had fallen off the Nine Nether Wood.

After the cultivators of the Great Mountain Alliance set up multiple array formations at the huge hole, they finally completed the initial stage of clearing the battlefield.

Under Jiang Li's lead, the group returned to the nearest Scripture Storage Valley and stopped.

The injured top-notch cultivators went to the quiet room to recuperate and receive professional medical treatment.

Jiang Li met the Valley Master, Daoist Wushe, and then brought a group of people to surround a dilapidated flying ship.

They still had to deal with a small problem: the cultivators of the Mu family who harbored ill intentions.

Near the Scripture Storage Valley, he found an empty plain and placed the flying ship that was still in a defensive state inside.

They retreated far away.

A Guardian of the Scripture Storage Valley stepped forward and stamped on the ground. The ground and rocks in a radius of five kilometers immediately turned to dust. Then, the dust sank and formed a smooth surface that was like obsidian.

This was a Guardian of the Scripture Storage Valley who cultivated the Earth Dust Scripture. With a raise of his hand, he could control the rocks and sand within his sight.

After this person attacked, Valley Master Daoist Wushe casually shook his hand, and a golden light flew out from his sleeve and was struck into the sky.

A moment later, a golden seal that was huge as a mountain descended from the sky. Below it was the peachwood flying ship.

The pressure of the approaching huge object was simply suffocating.

This was the combined attack of the Square Heaven Seal and the Earth Dust Scripture.

The peachwood flying ship was like a walnut under a hydraulic pressure machine. Although it was hard, it was definitely impossible to resist.

With a bang, the peach blossom pink membrane shattered after being squeezed to the limit.

The entire flying ship completely disintegrated under the exploding spiritual qi, and two figures fell out.

One was the only Soul Formation cultivator, and the other was the only Golden Core cultivator, Mu Chunyang.

The other five Nascent Soul elders had already disappeared without a trace. They were most likely dead.

”Where is this? Are you cultivators from the Great Mountain Region?”

”Excellent. Did you kill that demon tree? Give me the heart of the demon tree. My Mu family will reward you handsomely.”

The Mu family's Soul Formation cultivator was clearly injured badly. Earlier, his defensive light membrane had been forcefully broken by the Square Heaven Seal and the Earth Dust Scripture, causing the spiritual qi in his body to go berserk. He was still kneeling on the ground and coughing blood.

On the other hand, Mu Chunyang, who had the lowest cultivation level, was protected very well. On the surface, he did not seem to have suffered many injuries.

”Hey! What are you doing? Don't you have any medical cultivators in such a remote place?! Don't use your lousy medicinal pills. Quickly call a few Nascent Soul medical cultivators over!”

After he stood up, he started shouting in a commanding tone.

He wanted medical cultivators to help treat him and also wanted the demon tree's loot. That young master's temper clearly did not change at all.

”Hey! Did you hear me! What's that above my head! Quickly put it away!”

However, he quickly discovered something wrong. The group of cultivators in the distance ignored him and only looked at him from afar with a strange expression.

As for the huge golden seal above him, it did not stop after crushing the peachwood flying ship. It pressed lower and lower.

”Hey! Hey! Wait a minute! What are you trying to do! I'm the young master of the Mu family! How dare you attack me!”

As the Square Heaven Seal lowered, he finally panicked.

He scolded in disbelief.

Soon, the invincible Square Heaven Seal pressed down on him until he could not stand straight.

The Soul Formation cultivator of the Mu family knelt on the ground. He had just taken two breaths when he discovered this scene. He was shocked and furious on the spot, and he spat out another mouthful of blood!

However, the Square Heaven Seal was already above his head. He could only forcefully exert energy and raise his hands. He used his Soul Formation body to withstand the huge golden seal above.

They had gotten into another predicament now!

Jiang Li actually did not want to take his life immediately. After going through so much trouble, what he wanted was to first control a dangerous person like him.

The Yang-Wood spiritual qi turned into a peach tree on the body of the Mu family's Soul Formation cultivator. It supported itself under the Square Heaven Seal and trembled.

After Daoist Wushe tested the other party's limit, he stopped his hand seals at the right time and made the huge golden seal stop. However, he pressed down on the other party until he could not move and could not care about anything else.

A few clouds of dust also surged out of the Earth Dust platform below and climbed up the body of the Soul Formation cultivator. Then, they began to condense on his body, completely freezing the Mu family's Soul Formation cultivator into a statue.

Mu Chunyang, who could only bend down, finally felt fear at this moment. This group of Great Mountain cultivators really wanted to attack them.

He was shocked. He immediately took out a communication spirit stone and desperately wanted to seek help from his family.

However, the spirit stone in his hand malfunctioned at this moment and did not react at all.

”Don't bother. Under the influence of the Square Heaven Seal, these things are useless.”

Black chains flew over and wrapped around him. In the next moment, his Golden Core cultivation seemed to have disappeared from his body, and he was suppressed to the point of being extremely weak.

Jiang Li pulled the Dragon Imprisoning Lock and pulled Mu Chunyang out from the pincer attack of the Earth Dust Scripture and the Square Heaven Seal.

”Valley Master, Martial Ancestors, Elders, I'll excuse myself first.”

Jiang Li violently snatched the transmission from the other party's hand and handed it to an elder by the side before using various methods to seal it.

Then, he brought Mu Chunyang into a quiet room. As the Alliance Leader of the Great Mountain Alliance, he wanted to chat with this guy alone.

”Isn't this the envoy of the Mu family? We're really fated to meet again.”
