However, when compared to being able to save one's life during a showdown and defeat the opponent, the side effects seem trivial.
After all, even if it is a bit painful, it is much better than losing one's life, besides, it won't harm the fundantals or cause irreversible damage!
The two continued on their journey, the farther they walked, the more desolate it seed. Initially, after walking for a while, they could see so treasure seekers.
Later on, they had to walk three to five miles to encounter one or two people, and those they t were much stronger than those encountered before.
By now, Xiao Tian was pretty sure that most of those on the outermost area were just there to make so noise, mostly hoping to chance upon leftover treasures.
This speculative mindset is quite similar to buying lottery tickets hoping to win the jackpot, even though they know the chances of winning are slim, they all hold a slight hope.
But they don't understand that even if a pie falls from the sky, it doesn't necessarily have to land on their heads.
Even if it really falls, aren't they afraid of being smashed to death?
Although the people they et now are strong, upon seeing Xiao Tian and linda, their wariness and vigilance were evident, let alone anyone initiating a conversation.
But this was just as the two wished, they wandered around and laughed, showing no signs of tension.
——
In a blink of an eye, a day had passed, Ghost Face and linda stood outside the Kunlun Sect gate, quietly awaiting the arrival of the Celestial Punishnt Daoist.
"Thank you for waiting!"
Soon after, the voice of the Celestial Punishnt Daoist ca from the door, followed by him walking out with a sword.
"Shall we set off now?" Ghost Face couldn't afford small talk, his mind was solely focused on the Five Elents crystal, eager to get it for research as soon as possible.
Beside him, Lin Bingxuan remained silent, her anxiousness mirrored Ghost Face's, but she was focused on restoring Xiao Tian's strength promptly.
"No rush, no rush!"
The Celestial Punishnt Daoist calmly waved his hand and said: "There are a few disciples who will accompany us as helpers, first to train their integrated abilities, and second, they are the elite of my sect, capable of handling things independently at crucial monts!"
Ghost Face and Lin Bingxuan exchanged glances, their smiles gradually freezing, then fading away.
The helpers ntioned by the Celestial Punishnt Daoist, no need to say, the two could guess what they were about, as the events of the previous night were still fresh in their minds. Since Yun You's deceit hadn't died, it seed like they had to be very cautious along the journey.
After a while, Yun You appeared in sight, dressed in pristine white attire. From the outside, he looked ticulously adorned, his towering figure walking towards the morning sun, truly appearing extraordinary!
But in the eyes of Ghost Face and Lin Bingxuan, no matter how Yun You dressed up, he couldn't hide his sinister intentions, making them frown involuntarily.
As for Yun He and Yun Mie next to him, they seed intentionally contrasted to Yun You's elegance, dressed in a rustic manner, leaving their beards untrimd, looking rather scruffy.
"Miss Lin, Mr. Ghost Face, you've waited long!" Yun You showed a bright smile, extending his hand actively, appearing extrely enthusiastic!
However, Ghost Face and Lin Bingxuan, upon witnessing this scene, instantly turned around, heading down the mountain first.
The Celestial Punishnt Daoist and others angrily glared at the two departing in succession for afar, their anger steadily rising, yet suppressed with a peaceful mind thod, quickly pursuing ahead.
During this ti, Ghost Face and linda exchanged opinions, unanimously agreeing to be extrely cautious of those four, never to accept anything offered by them, like cigarettes, water, food, etc.
"Miss Lin, wait up!"
Upon hearing Yun You's voice from behind, Ghost Face discreetly gave Lin Bingxuan a signal, and she imdiately understood, walking to the front.
...
At this mont, Yun You was cursing Ghost Face in his heart, and the narrow path forged by the Kunlun Sect that could only accommodate one person at a ti under his feet.
This was an unexpected situation. According to Ghost Face, descending from the back mountain was much faster than descending through the main road.
Moreover, although the path from the back mountain was narrow, it had protective railings, making accidental falls unlikely.
Watching Lin Bingxuan walk in the lead, Yun You felt an itch in his bones from anger, entirely helpless.
Ever since he had a setback in Ghost Face's hands the night before, Yun You always felt a sense of fear when looking at him, that bone-chilling cold piercing him worse than the weather at Kunlun Mountain, just the thought making him uncomfortable.
Struggling to complete the long path, Yun You hurriedly took out a bag of snacks and a bottle of drink from his backpack, wanting to offer them to Lin Bingxuan, yet was persistently blocked by Ghost Face, leaving no room at all.
Damn, it's not like I'm targeting your girlfriend, why are you blocking so crossly?
Yun You cursed Ghost Face inside, but then saw his father, Celestial Punishnt Daoist, nod at him, followed by a sudden flash of light appearing in front of his eyes.
"Mr. Ghost Face!" Yun You suddenly called out to Ghost Face blocking his way, then took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, lighting one and casually offered one to him.
However, despite how it seed like a casual, normal act, it harbored a massive danger. If Ghost Face were to accept and light it up, just taking one puff, Yun You would have him under control.
The tobacco was made from the bark of the Black Gold Tree, mixed with sun-dried Floating Fish Grass. Smoking it is no different from regular cigarettes, but once inhaled, consciousness becos muddled.
At this ti, with the Locust Rain Whistle in Yun You's hand, one could command him to execute any order, even self-destruction was a matter of ease, just requiring one sentence!
The person affected would wake up afterward, having no mory of events during their dreamy state.
Yun You has used this trick countless tis before, mostly on young and beautiful won, it was indeed an unstoppable killer tool!
"No thanks, I don't smoke!" Ghost Face rejected coldly.
Having experienced countless battles, Yun You wasn't surprised by Ghost Face's response; he's encountered such people before, as not every woman smokes.
However, Yun You wasn't troubled, rely releasing the smoke into the air, giving the surrounding people the sa effect. Although it took longer than directly inhaling it.
Ghost Face and Lin Bingxuan stayed alert all the way, seeing Yun You rely smoking and releasing it, their eyes beca peculiar.
Yun You walked forward smiling, inhaled a puff and released it into the air, starting idle chatter: "How do you find the scenery here?"
Lin Bingxuan and Ghost Face held their breath at the ti, having no room for Yun You's awkward chat, causing the scene to beco very awkward.
