A Sect from a Spirit Vein

Chapter 146: Chapter 120: Ambushed Midway

Guh Niqiang took Lu Qian and flew directly towards Bichao Mountain. Along the way, Lu Qian rarely spoke, nor did he chatter with dizzying theories, so Guh Niqiang couldn’t help but ask, ”What’s wrong with you?”

Lu Qian frowned, feeling heavy in his heart. Today’s meeting went too smoothly, almost perfectly achieving his goal.

The Spirit Talisman Sect and the Shahe Gang didn’t want to fight on two fronts, so they made concessions to the Yunshan Sect, which was understandable, but he always felt something was off.

However, facing Guh Niqiang, he figured she wouldn’t understand even if he told her, so Lu Qian simply smiled and said, ”I was just thinking, if the Yunshan Sect had several Guh Niqiangs, it wouldn’t be me going to negotiate with them, but them imploring me to negotiate.”

Guh Niqiang snorted, ”Nonsense, there’s only one Guh Niqiang in the world. But you also have some potential. If you can successfully ascend to Foundation Establishment in the future, with our combined strength, what are two percent dry shares? It would be easy to seize the entire Shazhou Square.”

Upon hearing this, a thunderous shock exploded in Lu Qian’s heart. His face turned pale, cold sweat forming on his forehead, and he exclaimed, ”Bad, I understand now!”

My offer was too low! At the negotiation table, if you start with an exorbitant price and negotiate down, but I dared to ask for only two percent dry shares and easily agreed to Shahe Gang’s conditions, it precisely exposed Shuangye Alliance’s weakness!

Oh no, things have been going too smoothly for me recently, every plan has worked out, I’ve become complacent and careless, committing a grave mistake now. Will Spirit Talisman Sect and Shahe Gang notice?

But if the future of Shuangye Alliance relies on others being foolish too, it’s truly hopeless!

”Elder Guh, hurry, return to the mountain at full speed.” Lu Qian gritted his teeth. The only plan now is to return to the mountain, disperse all disciples for vigilance, and then contact the Northwest Two Sects for mutual support. If Spirit Talisman Sect and Shahe Gang attack, the whole alliance must defend and alert the Northwest Two Sects to attack their rear, only this way can we escape a calamity.

Although Guh Niqiang didn’t know what happened, she unhesitatingly accelerated, a brilliant light flared, carrying Lu Qian along at a rapid pace.

Hopefully, nothing unexpected happens...

This thought had just arisen when Guh Niqiang suddenly halted sharply, almost flinging Lu Qian off her side.

Focusing his eyes, Lu Qian saw above a lush forest, a ray of escape light hovering, with Foundation Establishment spiritual pressure emitted unabashedly.

Lu Qian’s heart sank, looking around, sure enough, a ray of escape light rose on both sides, with a Foundation Establishment Feather Scholar blocking the path. Then, the escape lights flashed, and three Foundation Establishment flew over like electricity.

Ambush? Lu Qian was shocked, quickly shouting, ”Elder Guh, let’s circle backwards!”

But as soon as he spoke, he saw behind them, between the peaks, more than a dozen escape lights rising, sealing off the retreat.

How is this possible!

The sky is vast and the ground is broad, how could they know where we would fly? Even if they guessed we’d head directly back to the mountain gate and waited on a straight line between Baojing Square and Bichao Mountain, it’s impossible to be this precise, setting a trap outside the range of our divine sense.

The enemy has a means to track our location!

At this thought, Lu Qian felt a chill throughout his body.

Unexpectedly, after ambushing Zhang Shouchang and destroying Chaosheng Sect, today he himself falls into someone else’s meticulously prepared snare.

Truly, fortunes change, and heaven spares no one.

At this point, any sense of self-satisfaction that had arisen in Lu Qian evaporated, and the string in his mind tightened once again.

Enemies surrounded from all sides, yet did not attack immediately, but watched and waited leisurely.

Beside the leading cultivator were hovering a pair of Sun and Moon Dual Wheels, holding in his hand a misty green, fist-sized Six-Winged Flying Insect.

Guh Niqiang’s body was tense, Lu Qian felt the fierce heat emanating from her body. She glanced at the flying insect, ”It’s a Qingfu Mother Insect, it seems we’ve been marked with Moth Blood.”

Lu Qian had read about Moth Blood in the insights of past Sect Leaders. Once tainted with it, within a thousand miles, the Mother Moth will find you.

When did this happen? The earlier meeting flashed through Lu Qian’s mind like lightning; he could confirm there had been no physical contact with the two Foundation Establishments, not even a sip of tea. So how could it be—

Lu Qian’s eyes widened, it’s the incense! The incense burning in the corner!

The enemy mixed the Moth Blood into the incense and spread it subtly over Lu Qian and Guh Niqiang!

Understanding the enemy’s tracking method, Lu Qian immediately began strategizing.

His gaze swept the surroundings, during the earlier meeting there had only been Yinn Hongbo and Han Wen, and now there were exactly three Foundation Establishments here, likely the second and third heads of Shahe Gang and the Grand Elder of Spirit Talisman Sect. Behind them were forty cultivators, all late-stage Qi Cultivation, the formation was formidable, and Lu Qian’s heart was extremely heavy.

With Foundation Establishment Feather Scholars at the forefront, and Qi Cultivation Elite gathered, they could be devastating. That’s why on the day of ambushing Zhang Shouchang, Lu Qian had to use a strategy to separate them from the main force.

The most important thing is, Yinn Hongbo and Han Wen must be on their way, time is critical, if unable to break out now, it’ll be impossible later!

The cultivator nodded, ”This Fairy’s insight is extraordinary, today we only seek to kill Lu Qian, you need not sacrifice for him. Please accompany us as a guest, and in due time, we will apologize to you and let you go, how about it?”
