The assassin was extremely cunning and had reached the Foundation Establishment stage. He was a ruthless killer, and the murderous aura around him was palpable. This time, however, he had met his match. Although he was strong, he was still vulnerable against the power of the talisman. His face was filled with disbelief and regret.
He roared unwillingly, "You little brat! You're really cunning!"
Before he could finish his sentence, the wind blades from the talisman sliced him in two, and blood flowed all over the ground. Li Chengfeng instantly appeared beside him and incinerated his soul with a fireball!
He did not absorb the soul into the Soul-Devouring Banner but destroyed it directly before taking his storage bag.
He took out a formation plate and waved it, breaking the formation. He took all the formation flags and then grabbed Mu Xi's hand, who was staring blankly, and quickly disappeared from the spot.
After walking a short distance, he took out concealment talismans, and they each used one.
Mu Xi said with a pale face, "Senior Brother, that was too dangerous! Was I useless just now?"
Li Chengfeng smiled at Mu Xi and said, "Mu Xi, I know you have a kind heart and don't like fighting. But I believe that you have extraordinary talent and will definitely surpass me in the future. However, we are in a dangerous situation right now and need to be careful."
As he said this, Mu Xi's face suddenly flushed red, as if she was nervous.
Seeing this, Li Chengfeng quickly grabbed a handful of mud and smeared it on Mu Xi's face, teasing her jokingly, "This makes us look more like rogue cultivators."
Then, he took out some tattered clothes from the storage bag of the rogue cultivator he had killed earlier and handed them to Mu Xi, saying, "Quickly change into these clothes. Our clothes are too conspicuous and will easily attract unnecessary trouble."
Mu Xi pouted, reluctantly took the clothes, and complained, "These clothes smell terrible! I don't want to wear them."
Li Chengfeng said seriously, "Mu Xi, now is not the time to be willful.
Since they have already sent an assassin, they must have other plans. We can't continue to flaunt around in Wind Cloud Sect clothes.
Changing into these clothes will at least reduce the risk of exposure."
Although Mu Xi was unwilling, she eventually compromised. She turned her head to the side, hid under a tree, and quickly changed into the rogue cultivator's clothes.
Li Chengfeng messed up his hair and put on a small mustache.
When he came out, although he looked a bit strange, he did indeed resemble a rogue cultivator.
Seeing this, Li Chengfeng nodded in satisfaction, then grabbed Mu Xi's hand and said, "From now on, I am your father, understand? You are my daughter, and we will pretend to be a father and daughter out for training.
Let's leave quickly now. It's too dangerous here. We would rather go back and be punished for losing this opportunity than continue down this path. After all, one assassin means there will be a second."
Mu Xi was frightened by Li Chengfeng's words. She nodded nervously and followed Li Chengfeng quickly away from this dangerous area.
At this time, the Wind Spirit Rat was indeed blocked by a huge Nine-Headed Serpent.
This Nine-Headed Serpent had different elemental attributes on each head. It opened its mouth, revealing a ferocious smile, and mocked, "Wind Spirit Rat, long time no see."
"Nine-Headed Serpent of the Myriad Demon Valley! You actually came out of the depths of the Myriad Serpent Valley. What do you want? Do you want to betray the agreement? You're courting death!" the Wind Spirit Rat said angrily.
The Nine-Headed Serpent continued to sneer and said, "I can tell you that the Myriad Demon King has awakened. How about that? Is that news shocking enough for you?"
Upon hearing this, the Wind Spirit Rat's expression changed drastically. He took a step back and asked in surprise, "Impossible! The Myriad Demon King was seriously injured back then and sealed himself. How could he awaken?"
The Nine-Headed Serpent snorted disdainfully and said, "Why would I lie to you? If the Myriad Demon King hadn't awakened, how could I have come out of that deep mountain?
Now, not only has the Myriad Demon King awakened, but other forces are also helping us. The Myriad Demon Valley is regrouping to expand its power here.
Your Wind Cloud Sect had better agree to cede the entire Myriad Demon Valley to us, otherwise, your disciples will not only fail in their trials, but the Wind Cloud Sect may also suffer heavy casualties."
The Wind Spirit Rat's pupils constricted, and he asked anxiously, "What about my master? How is he?"
The Nine-Headed Serpent sneered and replied, "Your master? Of course, someone will go and greet him as well. Don't worry, if you don't act rashly, I don't want to fight you.
After all, we are of the same kind. Although you have recognized a human as your master, I, the Nine-Headed Serpent, respect the strong the most. So, as long as you promise me to stay here obediently and chat with me, that's all. As for those two little brats, just let them fend for themselves."
Hearing this, the Wind Spirit Rat frowned and said after a moment of contemplation, "If your Myriad Demon Valley dares to hurt them, Sect Leader Xiao Mowen might really go crazy and destroy your Myriad Demon Valley, giving you no more chances."
The Nine-Headed Serpent seemed not to care and laughed contemptuously, "Are those two so important to your Wind Cloud Sect?
Besides, it's not our Myriad Demon Valley that's going to deal with them. We don't have the leisure, but there are others. As for who it is, I can't say."
The Nine-Headed Serpent's nine heads all showed contemptuous smiles, and one of the heads even said arrogantly, "Old Ninth, why are you talking nonsense with him? Why not eat this rat, and maybe we can advance to the strength of a Demon King."
The Wind Spirit Rat sneered and said sternly, "If you want to know my depth, feel free to come at me."
He immediately realized that there must be something fishy behind this, targeting not those two talented juniors. Although they were not ordinary people, they were not enough to attract such great power.
The Myriad Demon King of the Myriad Demon Valley may have really awakened. Once he awakens, he will surely lead the Myriad Demon Valley to break free from the shackles of Wind Cloud and no longer be a sacrifice for trials.
In the Myriad Demon Valley, there are six great demons in total, and the Myriad Demon King stands at the pinnacle of the demon realm, about to advance to the Demon Emperor realm.
The power of a Demon King is equivalent to the late Nascent Soul stage among human cultivators. Although the Nine-Headed Serpent is a Demon King, it is only an ordinary one. The real Myriad Demon King is a late-stage peak existence of the Demon King, enough to shake Wind Cloud.
This turmoil may be manipulated by a certain force in the dark, attempting to bring disaster to the Wind Cloud Sect through the Myriad Demon Valley.
The Wind Cloud Sect does not have many enemies, among which the most troublesome are those battle maniacs from the Cold Ice Mountain.
They are ambitious, bloodthirsty, and often have friction with the Wind Cloud Sect.
The Cold Ice Mountain Sect Leader, Zuo Lengchan, is also a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage, constantly fighting with the Wind Cloud Sect.
The Wind Spirit Rat understood in his heart that he must go all out at this moment. If he entangled with the Nine-Headed Serpent for too long, he might become a sacrifice once the other party reacted.
The other party's actions this time did not involve many people, obviously not wanting to directly conflict with the Wind Cloud Sect. He must escape quickly and report back.
Under this general trend, those two juniors could only fend for themselves.
The Wind Spirit Rat's body soared, transforming into a giant rat several dozen feet long, its fangs exposed, like a small mountain erupting suddenly.
The countless wind blades it spewed turned into a storm, overwhelming mountains and seas, leveling hilltops, and sending giant trees flying.
The Nine-Headed Serpent was not to be outdone. Its nine heads opened their mouths and spewed out the power of five elements such as flames and toxins, confronting the Wind Spirit Rat's storm.
The huge snake tail suddenly popped out, stabbing towards the Wind Spirit Rat's abdomen, both fast and ruthless.
