Chapter 126 Slaying a Core Formation Stage Cultivator
After arranging everything for the Xiao family, Ye Xiaobai led Mu Beifeng and the others to where Song Yu and the others were.
As a powerful cultivator in the Qingyun Sect who had reached the Core Formation stage, Song Yu was, by all accounts, fully entitled to choose the superior spiritual peaks with abundant spiritual energy that were conducive to cultivation as his usual place of quiet cultivation.
Surprisingly, this extraordinary cultivator had a particular fondness for a mountain called "Qianyu Peak".
This Thousand Jade Peak is nothing special; it is simply named for the abundance of various kinds of beautiful jade found in the mountains.
These beautiful jades might seem ordinary to most cultivators, but to Song Yu, they were his most cherished possessions.
Although these jade stones offered no benefit to his cultivation, Song Yu simply couldn't relinquish his fondness for them. Perhaps it was this unique fascination that made him so devoted to this particular spiritual peak among all others.
At this moment, Ye Xiaobai had already disguised himself as Xiao Fan and hurriedly sped towards Song Yu's location.
"Who goes there? How dare you trespass on Elder Song's cultivation ground in the dead of night!" A patrolling disciple from Qianyu Peak blocked Ye Xiaobai and his group's path as if facing a formidable enemy. His sharp eyes, like those of a hawk, were fixed on these uninvited guests, and he questioned them sternly.
After being stopped, Ye Xiaobai quickly stepped forward, his face full of anxiety and earnestness. He took a deep breath and calmed his slightly rapid breathing from running all the way.
He then respectfully bowed to the patrolling disciple and explained, "Junior brother, please don't misunderstand! I am Xiao Fan, an inner disciple, and I have important matters to report to Elder Song. This is my identity token!"
"The situation is urgent and concerns the safety of the White Tiger Sect. We must report this to the elders immediately!"
As he spoke, fine beads of sweat appeared on Ye Xiaobai's forehead, but he didn't bother to wipe them away. He just held the so-called important intelligence in his hand tightly, as if it were a lifeline.
His eyes revealed a firmness and determination, as if the matter had reached a point where there was no time to lose.
The patrolling disciple took the identity token handed to him by Ye Xiaobai, checked it, and after confirming that it was correct, said, "Follow me!"
He then led Ye Xiaobai and the others to the cave where Song Yu was cultivating.
"Elder Song, inner disciple Xiao Fan has urgent news to report!" a patrolling disciple transmitted from outside Song Yu's cave.
A moment later, Song Yu's voice came through.
"come in!"
Then the defensive formation of the cave was activated, and Ye Xiaobai and the others carefully entered Song Yu's cave.
Upon entering Song Yu's cave, a rich spiritual energy immediately greets you, making you feel refreshed and relaxed.
The first thing that catches the eye is the spacious and bright room, with rows of exquisite treasure shelves neatly arranged around the perimeter. These shelves are made of superior materials and are crafted with superb skill, emitting a faint glow.
However, what is most eye-catching is not the shelf itself, but the various shapes and crystal-clear jade carvings displayed on it.
They are either shaped like animals, lifelike; or resemble landscape paintings, with profound artistic conception; or they are simply abstract artistic forms, giving people endless imagination.
Each treasure seems to possess its own unique soul and story, captivating all who behold it.
Just as Ye Xiaobai was gazing at these treasures in a daze, Song Yu, with a proud look on his face, smiled and said, "What, you also like jade treasures?"
Ye Xiaobai felt a chill run down his spine and quickly composed himself, realizing that there were more important things to do right now.
He quickly composed himself and then said respectfully, "Elder Song, every single treasure here is a work of art!"
"They are not only exquisitely designed and crafted, but they also seem to have a life of their own, so lifelike that they are irresistible. Who wouldn't be tempted by such treasures?"
Upon hearing this, Song Yu smiled smugly and laughed heartily, "Hahaha, good eye! You really know your stuff!"
However, before the laughter subsided, Song Yu suddenly stopped laughing and his expression turned serious. He stared at Ye Xiaobai and asked solemnly, "By the way, Xiao Fan, what brings you here so late?"
"Here's the situation. While my Xiao family disciple was out adventuring, he inadvertently obtained crucial intelligence about the White Tiger Sect. Such a confidential matter cannot be delayed, so even though it's late, I couldn't wait to come and report to Elder Song!"
Ye Xiaobai explained with a solemn expression and an extremely serious demeanor.
"Oh? What is so important? Tell me quickly!" Upon hearing the important matter concerning the White Tiger Sect, Song Yu was overjoyed, thinking that he might be able to achieve another great feat this time.
Ye Xiaobai called out loudly, "Elder Song, there is detailed information here, please take a look!" After speaking, he took out an enormous map from his storage bag.
Song Yu stared intently at the painting, marveling at its grand scale and exquisite detail. However, the object was indeed enormous, so without hesitation he strode towards Ye Xiaobai and the others to examine it closely and see what secrets it held.
Upon approaching, Song Yu bent down and stared intently at the mysterious map before him, trying to decipher key information about the White Tiger Sect.
"What information about the White Tiger Sect is on this? I can't see it." Song Yu looked at it for a while but still couldn't find any useful information. It was just an enlarged map of the Great Jin Dynasty.
"Elder Song, take a closer look at the middle of the map!" Ye Xiaobai urged Song Yu to look at the map.
At this moment, Mu Beifeng, He Lei, and others took advantage of the time it took to unfold the map and the opportunity when Song Yu was focused on the map to set up the Soul-Locking and Immortal-Binding Array, which they had practiced hundreds of times before.
The formation had just been set up when Song Yu immediately noticed the anomaly and shouted, "Xiao Fan, what are you doing? You are not Xiao Fan!"
Immediately, he snapped back to his senses and realized that the person standing in front of him could not possibly be Xiao Fan himself. Therefore, without hesitation, he decided to unleash his trump card, putting all his strength into a final, desperate attack.
However, at this moment, something unexpected happened—he suddenly realized that the originally surging and continuous spiritual power in his body was now as if it was being held back by something, and its flow speed became abnormally slow!
In the blink of an eye, he suddenly realized: he had been trapped in this strange and unpredictable formation for some time now, and there was no way to escape!
"Elder Song is indeed powerful! But it's too late!" Ye Xiaobai and the others no longer needed to pretend and revealed their true forms.
"Any demands are negotiable, as long as you take back this formation!" Song Yu said, while secretly trying to gather his strength to use his magic weapon to destroy the formation.
"Elder Song, don't waste your breath! We just want your life!"
The crowd certainly didn't give Song Yu a chance, and quickly used the power of the formation to kill him.
