The Fourth Calamity: My Sect Has Countless Prodigies

Chapter 34 Talisman Master Bai Ling

"Yun Yao, how many times have I told you not to call me Uncle Wu?"

As a retainer of the Yun family, the man in the green robe didn't seem to take the people in front of him seriously. He just looked at the girl in purple and spoke.

Yun Yao nodded slightly and said obediently, "Okay, Uncle Wu, Yun Yao will remember."

Wu Yun sighed helplessly and said no more.

He looked at the players, his gaze calm:

"I apologize, everyone. Although this matter has nothing to do with you, I, Wu Yun, am a retainer of the Yun family, and it is absolutely impossible for me to..."

Before he could finish speaking, Wu Yun flashed forward, his entire body flying out like a crane, his long sword pointing directly at the tiger's brow.

That was too fast; there was no way to react to that move.

Crouching Tiger's pupils contracted sharply as the figure of the man in the green robe grew larger and larger in his vision.

boom!

Just as he was about to lose his life, a loud bang was heard.

A huge rock fell from the sky and stood between the two.

The immortal wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and gasped for breath: "This Mountain-Moving Technique was truly worth practicing."

Ever since he exchanged for the Five Elements Technique, he realized that his team didn't have any defensive skills.

So for the past three days, he has been diligently studying the art of moving mountains, and today it finally came in handy at a crucial moment.

"That's interesting."

Wu Yun smiled faintly and struck out with his longsword again. With this level of defense, how many more times could the opponent, who was only at the third level of Qi Refining, use it?

Seeing this, the Immortal of Instant Opening quickly took out three Qi Gathering Pills and swallowed them. He then used the Mountain Moving Technique again, barely managing to withstand the attack.

Wu Yun didn't react in time. Although he shattered the rock, he still staggered back a few steps due to inertia.

But in that instant, five flying swords suddenly appeared behind Wu Yun and rushed towards him.

Wu Yun was shocked as several passively triggered shields flashed behind him.

However, these shields were no match for the flying swords' attacks, only giving him a brief respite.

Without hesitation, Wu Yun immediately knelt on the ground, raised his storage bag with both hands, and shouted loudly, "I, Wu Yun, am willing to surrender, I only beg the great hero to spare my life."

However, the flying sword's attack did not diminish, clearly intending to kill Wu Yun on the spot.

Upon seeing this, Wu Yun gritted his teeth, immediately drew his longsword, and stabbed it into the abdomen of the purple-clad girl beside him.

The young girl, Yun Yao, stared wide-eyed at Wu Yun in disbelief.

She couldn't understand why Wu Gongfeng, who had just been chatting and laughing with her, would suddenly turn on her and kill her.

Of course, Yun Yao wasn't the only one who couldn't understand it; the other players in the arena were also baffled.

Wu Yun drew his longsword and threw it aside. While the shield was still active, he quickly took out a document from his storage bag and held it up with both hands:

"My lord, this document is a spiritual contract. Once signed, the bound party will unconditionally obey the contractor's orders."

"If you spare me, I am willing to sign a contract immediately and serve you for life."

The flying sword paused slightly, halting its attack.

Wu Yun was overjoyed, but a faint smile quietly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

But just as Wu Yun put away his shield, a flying sword pierced through his chest.

His eyes widened in disbelief; he never imagined that he would die without even seeing what the other person looked like.

Zhou Yi sheathed his flying sword, slowly walked out of the dense forest, and looked at the spiritual contract with a cold smile.

You can't just sign contracts randomly.

Who knows what kind of insidious and vicious treaty this guy will stuff in there?

Moreover, Zhou Yi was not at ease with someone who could attack his own companion without hesitation.

"Great, I'm one step closer to the late stage of Qi Refining."

After the battle ended, Zhou Yi glanced at the remaining carriages.

The girl I heard earlier said that she came from the Yun family.

Although I've never heard of this family before, they do have three carriages, so they must be carrying a lot of good stuff.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yi quickly called several players to go forward and inspect the carriage together.

The immortal glanced at the half-dead girl on the ground, sighed, drew a long sword, and gave her a quick death.

Zhou Yi and his companions searched for the carriage, and the more they searched, the more cheerful they became.

As the saying goes, a horse won't get fat without night grass, and a person won't get rich without unexpected wealth.

There are quite a lot of good things on these carriages.

Zhou Yi arrived at the first freight wagon, which was loaded with nearly a hundred cloth bags. He opened one of them and found that it was full of spirit rice.

Conservative estimates suggest that there are at least a thousand catties of these spirit rice grains.

With so much spirit rice, new players will not lack food for two months.

"Sect Master, this cart is carrying strange wood." Qunxing's voice came from the second cargo wagon.

Zhou Yi walked over and examined the pieces of wood on the carriage.

Upon closer inspection, these pieces of wood actually exude a faint spiritual energy.

Unfortunately, Zhou Yi was not a professional and did not actually know much about the wood needed for weapon crafting, so he could not identify it.

Zhou Yi nodded, instructed Qunxing to count the amount of wood, and then walked towards the third freight wagon where Qianlong and Wohu were.

"Sect...Sect Master..."

When Qianlong saw Zhou Yi approaching, he was momentarily speechless.

Zhou Yi, somewhat curious, asked, "What's in this truck?"

Without saying a word, Qianlong silently turned around and pulled back the curtain of the carriage.

Zhou Yi looked closely and saw that inside the carriage lay a woman in red who was bound up.

She looked at Zhou Yi and struggled, but because her mouth was stuffed with cloth, she couldn't even make a sound.

Zhou Yi could only see a glimmer of hope and pleading in her eyes.

"This is difficult!"

Zhou Yi sighed softly.

Wo Hu watched from the side, his face clouded with worry, for he knew what Zhou Yi was thinking.

If this woman releases information indiscriminately, it could easily reveal their secrets and create a hidden danger.

But if they really wanted to silence them, they honestly couldn't bring themselves to do it.

After pondering for a long time, Zhou Yi finally sighed.

He first removed the crumpled paper from the woman's mouth and asked, "Who are you?"

The woman spoke with difficulty, recounting her experiences on this trip.

Her name was Bai Ling, a low-level rogue cultivator in Lianyun Market who barely made a living in the market with her rudimentary talisman skills.

Recently, the market has been bustling with activity, and the prices of materials needed for making talismans have risen. She wanted to go out to search for raw materials, but she was spotted by Wu Yun and forcibly abducted.

After listening to Bai Ling's words, Zhou Yi lowered his head and began to ponder.

He had observed her closely and knew that what she said was probably true.

We certainly can't release him at will, but we also can't imprison him. There's only one option left.

Bai Ling looked at Zhou Yi, bit her red lips lightly, and lowered her head.

She knew that as someone who witnessed the destruction of the Yun family, Zhou Yi would not let her off easily.

Besides, even if she miraculously escaped with her life.

What will happen when facing the Yun family's investigation and unknown retaliation after that day?

After counting the timber, the stars walked towards the carriage and moved closer to Qianlong.

"Qianlong, what's up with this woman?"

The stars were somewhat curious and asked in a low voice.

Qianlong shook his head and glanced at Bai Ling: "I don't know, but she's skilled in talismans, so she might be a new NPC added to the sect."

"A new NPC is coming?"

The stars' eyes lit up.

Qianlong shrugged: "Not sure, who knows?"

Zhou Yi heard the players' whispers and suddenly understood something.

It seems that sects can't manufacture talismans themselves, but players have a great demand for them.

Whether it's daily monster hunting, exploring dungeons, or clearing out sects, all sorts of talismans are needed.

If we can recruit this person into our sect, it will be absolutely beneficial to the sect.

Zhou Yi smiled slightly and asked Bai Ling:

"Miss Bai, I believe you are a smart person. Given the current situation, even if I let you go, you will have nowhere to go."

"But coincidentally, my sect is short of a talisman master to refine talismans. I wonder if Miss Bai would be willing to join us?" Zhou Yi's tone was gentle and his attitude sincere.

Bai Ling remained silent for a moment, then finally nodded. It seemed that this was the only way out for her now.
