Just as Ye Qingcheng was filling Wang Xiaoqiang's mind with knowledge about the Heavenly Pool, Wang Xiaoqiang was flying with her when suddenly Ye Great Beauty cried out, "We're here, we're here... Eh? There are cultivators above the Heavenly Pool?"
"What? There are cultivators?" Wang Xiaoqiang withdrew his hands from Ye Qingcheng's delicate body, slightly rose, and looked down at the Heavenly Pool from the Spirit Spring Flying Boat.
In the early autumn, the season when the Heavenly Pool was at its most beautiful, the water was the bluest and most turquoise. People often said the Heavenly Pool was like a piece of exquisite jade embedded at the top of a snowy mountain, and this was indeed true, especially when seen from above on the Spirit Spring Flying Boat.
Aside from the Heavenly Pool, the area was empty except for three n who were incredibly standing on the water's surface, seemingly doing sothing?
"Let's go down and have a look..." Wang Xiaoqiang's will stirred, and the Spirit Spring Flying Boat descended to the edge of the Heavenly Pool. The two of them leapt off the Flying Boat, and with another thought from Wang Xiaoqiang, the Spirit Spring Flying Boat burst apart, transforming into two hundred Five Elents Spiritual Springs that shimred in five colors on the greenish pool water—a sight of intoxicating beauty, only appreciated by Wang Xiaoqiang alone.
The three n standing above the pool were concentrating hard, staring at the lake surface, probing the depths with their Divine Senses, which is why they did not imdiately notice Wang Xiaoqiang and Ye Qingcheng.
At that mont, all 328 Spiritual Springs within and external to Wang Xiaoqiang began to resonate.
This phenonon confird what Ye Qingcheng had said, that the three n standing on the pool were indeed cultivators, and Wang Xiaoqiang could tell, even without the Spiritual Springs' response, that these three n possessed cultivation bases, and not low ones at that.
After all, not just anyone could tread on water and stand aloft. Even those masters of the National Arts would find it hard to achieve.
Only those capable of wave-treading had the ability of Sky Manipulation, aning they were at least at the Golden Core Cultivation level.
"Hmm? These three have substantial cultivation levels, but judging by their attire, they're not from the Righteous Path..." Ye Qingcheng observed the three n closely and examined with her Divine Sense, her eyebrows slightly furrowing.
"Are you saying they might be evil cultivators?"
"Exactly," Ye Qingcheng's tone suddenly turned serious, "Eh? That person looks like Dual-Faced Impermanence..."
"Who is Dual-Faced Impermanence?"
"An evil cultivator master, at the peak of the Golden Core Stage. The Wuchang Chains used by Lin Jinghong were originally in this person's possession?"
"Ugh... this person is so malignant, I'll get rid of him later!" Wang Xiaoqiang said full of righteousness.
Since ancient tis, good and evil were like water and fire; they did not mix. If they did not see each other, then alright, but seeing each other ant a battle to the death. Moreover, disciples of the Taiyi Sect had the responsibility to slay evil cultivators.
"Little Qiang, we should still be cautious. That Dual-Faced Impermanence seems to be at the Late Golden Core Stage, and the two people with him are both at the Mid Golden Core Stage. If the three of them join forces, we, we might not be their match..."
"Don't be afraid. Let's first see what they're doing and then act accordingly!" Wang Xiaoqiang said, holding Ye Qingcheng by her slender waist as he instructed.
Ye Qingcheng obediently nodded and leaned her head against Wang Xiaoqiang's shoulder.
As the two observed the three individuals on the water, those three had also noticed Wang Xiaoqiang and Ye Qingcheng. Thinking that the strong winds today would deter visitors from coming to the poolside, they were surprised to find that two people had arrived in no ti. And they were not ordinary people but two cultivators, which was extrely unfavorable to their plan of capturing the Red Gold Ox Beast.
A few days earlier, they had heard news that a water monster had appeared again in the Heavenly Pool, so they ca together in haste. Upon using their Divine Sense, they discovered that the monster was known as the Red Gold Ox Beast, whose body was a treasure chest. Its two horns were superior materials for pill crafting, and the inner core of the Red Gold Ox was equivalent to a Superior Pill or a Nine-Turn Golden Core. If they could get this inner core, it would be as though they had obtained a Nine-Turn Golden Core of imnse value. A cultivator at the late stage of Golden Core could use this core to break through their bottleneck and form a Nascent Soul.
Dual-Faced Impermanence, who was currently at the late stage of Golden Core, could beco a Nascent Soul Old Monster with this Red Gold Ox's inner core, whereas the other two evil cultivators could each take one horn to craft into pills that were equivalent to Middle Grade Pills, which would help them advance quickly.
Upon seeing a youngster at the Foundation Establishnt Stage and another at the early stage of Golden Core approaching the pool, Dual-Faced Impermanence and the two other evil cultivators set their sights on Ye Qingcheng and Wang Xiaoqiang, especially on Ye Qingcheng. Their eyes glued to her beauty, their throats moved endlessly.
Evil cultivators like them had money and won at their disposal, thanks to their abilities. However, they had never seen nor been with a woman like Ye Qingcheng.
"Hey, Wuchang Boss, this woman is quite sothing, eh? How about we take her and have so fun..." the tall, thin one with a donkey face said, eyeing the beautiful Ye Qingcheng from a distance and making a proposal to Dual-Faced Impermanence.
"Hehe, of course, old rules: the n we kill, the won we take turns with..." another one with a pig-like face and a short, fat stature also revealed a lewd smile.
"No, no... Donkey Saint, Demon Boar," Dual-Faced Impermanence said with a sinister smile on his terrifying face, "today, none of you should compete with for her. She is off-limits for you; I want her to beco my dharma slave, to follow and serve for life. Moreover, I happen to be in need of a Dual Cultivation partner. This young lady has established her foundation at such a young age, which shows she has good qualifications. She's just right for Dual Cultivation with ..."
Upon hearing this, the skinny and fat duo, known as Donkey Saint and Demon Boar, showed expressions of reluctance.
Previously, whenever the three captured a beautiful woman, it was always Dual-Faced Impermanence who would have her first, then let them take turns. But this ti, they encountered a woman of exceptional beauty and talent for the first ti in their lives. Not to play with her would be one of life's great regrets, even if it ant drinking the wash water from the pot, but Dual-Faced Impermanence didn't even offer them that chance, which left them discontented and irritated.
"Wuchang Boss," the one called Demon Boar licked his slightly dry lips, "this young lady is only at the early stage of Foundation Establishnt, and she's recently advanced, so she's not very stable. If you do Dual Cultivation with her, the chances of success might be low..."
"Hmm~~" Dual-Faced Wuchang's face turned as his cold eyes swept towards Demon Boar, his half-black, half-white face becoming even more sinister and terrifying. "Demon Boar, what are you suggesting? Do you want to compete with for a woman? Do you believe I'll smash your pig head..."
Demon Boar shrank his neck and dared not speak further. He knew the fearsoness of Dual-Faced Impermanence, who was in the late stage of Golden Core, while he was only at the early stage. He had no strength to oppose him, and besides, starting trouble over a woman was not worth it.
"Listen carefully, help keep an eye on that girl later; don't let her run away. As for that little guy, hehe, I'll deal with him..." Dual-Faced Impermanence sneered, "Aren't you two looking for a good ti? Later, I'll have the woman by the poolside and make the guy watch, hahaha..."
Hearing Dual-Faced Impermanence's sinister laugh over the water, Ye Qingcheng said with so anxiety, "Xiaoqiang, I've heard that Dual-Faced Impermanence not only refines magic treasures with Living Soul and Spirit, but also likes to find won with high cultivation and beauty for Dual Cultivation. Are you really sure you can take on Peerless Wuchang? If not, it's still not too late to escape..."
"Don't worry, I'm sure I can handle it!" Wang Xiaoqiang said. Now he possessed 328 Spiritual Springs, with cultivation at the Nascent Soul Mid Stage, even closing in on the Nascent Soul Late Stage. Taking on one person in the late stage of Golden Core and two in the middle stage of Golden Core was well within his ans.
As Wang Xiaoqiang was reassuring Ye Qingcheng, the trio of Dual-Faced Impermanence were already stepping on the waves, advancing towards them.
