Ch124 - Complicity

Edited by Zaki

Before the three bandits could make a move, Liu Mufeng made his move first and released his spiritual power. His green spiritual light instantly turned into thick purple vines and attacked the three. The real Wisteria Vines on Liu Mufeng’s wrist also joined in, mixing itself with the spiritual purple vines and quietly extending in the direction of the three.

“Ahhh…” Seeing a large group of purple vines rushing towards them, slithering like a mass of snakes and trying to attack them, the three cultivators immediately took out their magic weapons to chop the attacking vines. Although the vines conjured by spiritual power were only illusory, they had real spiritual power. If a cultivator was strangled by these vines, then they would instantly die.

Seeing the three people slashing in the sea of violet vines, Liu Mufeng’s mouth corners cured up in a smile. He took out fifty darts and shot directly toward the three people.

Sensing Liu Mu Feng’s sneak attack, the three hurriedly threw their magic weapons to block the darts. But unfortunately, two of them were hit by the darts, and only one of them had some luck not being hit.

“How could it be, how could it be poisonous?” Having already been hit by a poisoned dart and pierced through the chest by what he thought was a spiritual purple vine, a cultivator in the Spiritual Master Realm widened his eyes in shock. He couldn’t imagine how these vines that were conjured up with spiritual techniques could be poisonous.

Looking at the corpse that had fallen down with still a reluctant expression, the Wisteria Vines immediately absorbed the nutrients from the cultivator’s body. In a few moments, the body was sucked into a dry mummified corpse by the Wisteria Vines.

“This, this is the real Wisteria Vine, it’s not a hallucination.” Shocked, the cultivator who was not poisoned did not say another word and hastily activated the teleportation talisman on his body to escape.

Seeing that his companion had escaped, the other cultivator also wanted to escape, but unfortunately, everything was already too late. Before he could take out the talisman, he spat out a large mouthful of black blood, and his dead body fell to the ground.

With a wave of his hand, Liu Mufeng took back the illusory purple vines. The real Wisteria Vine had already run over to enjoy its meal. After eating, it did not forget to send the storage rings to Liu Mufeng.

Liu Mufeng’s lips curled into a smile when he saw the Wisteria Vine returned back to his wrist obediently after its meal. He then released his Beast Fire and burned the bodies of the two cultivators. Then, the three-meter-tall giant flame eagle sneaked toward that Spiritual King Realm cultivator.

The bandit chief was a three-star in the Spiritual King Realm. His strength was higher than Jiang Xu’s, but his swordsmanship was very ordinary, so he could not gain any advantage against Jiang Xu and the two of them could be considered evenly matched. But now, with the addition of the sneak attack from Liu Mufeng, the situation became one-sided, favoring Jiang Xu, making it even more difficult for the bandit chief to defeat Jiang Xu.

Seeing that he couldn’t beat Jiang Xu, the bandit chief wanted to retreat. Jiang Xu also saw the other party’s intentions, but how could Jiang Xu let go of the fat sheep that was delivered to the door? As he kept his opponent busy by entangling him with his sword moves, he released the Stealth Cat and ordered it to get the storage ring from the bandit chief.

“Be careful!” With a shout, Liu Mufeng immediately threw ten third-level shields in front of Jiang Xu.

Jiang Xu himself also threw several third-grade magic weapons to block the other party’s spiritual talismans, inwardly thinking,‘This bastard actually still had magic talismans on him, looks like he had other storage props on him.’

“Bang, bang…!” The noise was deafeningly loud.

“XiaoXu!” Flying over, Liu Mufeng pulled his lover away from the explosions.

“I’m alright, I was on guard against him.” When he realized that the bandit chief was getting ready to flee, Jiang Xu knew that the other party would definitely mount a sneak attack. Therefore, inwardly he was already alert. But even so, his left arm was still injured from the blast and was bleeding profusely.

Taking out the medicinal pill, Liu Mufeng directly fed it to his partner without saying a word, and then took out the wound medicine for external application to bandage the injury on his lover’s arm.

Seeing his lover’s gloomy and frowning countenance, Jiang Xu smiled wryly. “It’s okay, it’s just a minor injury.”

“You, you are willing to give up your life for a bit of wealth. If he wanted to leave, let him go, why stop him?” Looking at his partner, Liu Mufeng rebuked in a distressed manner.

“Yes, yes, it was my fault.” Seeing that his lover was angry with him, staring at the wound on his arm, his eyes red in distress, Jiang Xu immediately smiled and admitted his mistake.

Looking at his wife readily accepting his mistakes, Liu Mufeng’s expression became slightly better.

Out of the six third-level demon horses, three were killed and one was heavily injured. In the end, only two were left intact. Liu Mufeng released all the Spirit Insects and asked them to feed on the four demon horses.

The Stealth Cat preferred to eat the fishes in the lake, and was not interested in the demon horse meat, but Jiang Xu saw that the demon horse’s meat looked good, so he collected 100 kilograms of beast meat for himself and Mufeng to eat.

In fact, these insects raised by Liu Mufeng might not be very good at other things, but when it came to eating, they were definitely professional at it. The four demon horses together with their hides and bones weighed at least2,000 jin. It had not even crossed 5 minutes, the insects had already eaten everything clean – not even a tiny bit of dregs left. Even the blood on the ground was sucked clean. They were a horde of foodies.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu immediately rode their demon horses and left the place to avoid any further trouble.

Back home, Jiang Xu and Liu Mufeng took off the human skin masks from their faces and breathed a sigh of relief.

After taking out the three looted storage rings, Jiang Xu checked it out. Nodding in satisfaction. “Good, these three fat sheep were very fat! The spirit stones from the three people’s storage rings add up to more than 18 million.”

Hearing his lover’s words, Liu Mufeng didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, “They treated us as fat sheep, but they turned into fat sheep themselves and were robbed by us.”

“Hey, Mufeng, how about the two of us become bounty hunters? If we go to kill those bandits and robbers, we will definitely earn a lot of spirit stones.” Jiang Xu felt it was better to kill such bandits and bad people than to rob to get spirit stones.

Hearing this, Liu Mufeng fondly rubbed his lover’s hair. “Don’t talk nonsense. How dangerous it might become if we try to double-cross bad people? We are not so short of spirit stones that we need to be bounty hunters.”

Hearing this, Jiang Xu nodded in agreement. He used to be alone, and he could do whatever he wanted. At that time being a bounty hunter was not a problem. But now he couldn’t think like that. He had a Dao companion now. His lover would get distressed if he got injured. Just now, it was a very small injury but Mufeng’s complexion had turned pale in worry. Wouldn’t his dear husband Mufeng be very distressed if he got seriously injured? Even if it was not for himself, he could not get into any dangerous activities. He didn’t want his beloved husband to be frightened and angry because of him.

“En, I will listen to you.” Looking at his partner, Jiang Xu smiled at the other, trying to placate the other party.

“Good.” Seeing his wife making concessions, Liu Mufeng lowered his head and kissed his beloved on the cheek.

“Mufeng, this time we only got twenty Flame Flower seeds, and some first and second-grade low-level fire demon cores, is that enough?” Looking at his partner, Jiang Xu asked uncertainly.

Tian City was a first-tier city and relatively well-equipped, so ideally they should be able to buy the materials easily. However, even after looking into several spiritual plant shops in the city, they could only find about twenty Flame Flower seeds. Mature Flame Flowers could be directly forgotten, there was not even a single one available for sale. They could purchase the seeds this time because it had just arrived that morning and they were lucky enough to get their hands on them. Otherwise even the seeds could not be purchased.

“It’s enough, it’s pretty good that we got at least some seeds. The Flame Flower and the third and fourth-level fire-type demon beast cores have already been reserved by the Flame Masters. The fact that we could buy seeds and first- and second-level fire-type demon beast cores is already very good.” Liu Mufeng was already very satisfied with their purchase.

“But I don’t understand, didn’t you want to ingest the Flower Fire? Why do you want to buy fire-type demon beast cores?” Jiang Xu said he couldn’t understand the reasoning behind it.

“Actually, the Flame Flowers are cultivated with Flame Stones. I bought those first- and second-level fire-type demon beast cores to cultivate the Fire Spirit Insects. The Fire Spirit Insects have good fighting power, and now the swarm has grown by 30,000. However, the overall strength of the swarm is not very high, most of the Fire Spirit Insects are in the Spiritual Realm. Therefore, I plan to cultivate them with demon beast cores, and when we have grown enough Flame Flowers, we can distribute some to the Fire Spirit Insects to eat, so that their strength can be improved faster.” The Fire Spirit Insects were the most powerful among the five Spirit Insects, so Liu Mufeng attached great importance to the Fire Spirit Insects.

“Oh, I understand now!” Nodding, Jiang Xu expressed his understanding.

“Now that the number of Spirit Insects in our hands has reached 140,000, it is impossible to cultivate all of them. Therefore, we can only cultivate them in batches. Fire Spirit Insects and Water Spirit Insects have the strongest combat power among all the Spirit Insects, so I plan to cultivate them first.” Looking at his lover, Liu Mufeng expressed his thoughts.

“Then, what about the other three Spirit Insects?” Looking at his lover, Jiang Xu asked anxiously.

“We can only wait. In the future, after our strengths have stabilized, we will find a way to cultivate them.” This couldn’t be helped, the number of Spirit Insects was huge, and they could only be cultivated gradually. It would be impossible to cultivate them all together.

“Okay.” Jiang Xu nodded, expressing his understanding. He knew that, after all, it was because they were poor. If they had a lot of spirit stones, it would not be a problem to cultivate a large group of Spirit Insects together.

“XiaoXu, I’m going to plant the Flame Flower seeds in the bracelet dimension, and I will also plan to refine Flower Fires. I’m afraid I won’t be able to leave seclusion for a while. You have to be careful at home. Although the two of us went in disguise and the two robbers didn’t see our true faces, but, in order to ensure safety, you should not enter the city for the time being. Also, those three people’s things, don’t take any action for the time being lest they be discovered and bring us trouble. ”

Hearing this, Jiang Xu nodded again and again. “Don’t worry Mufeng, I will guard you while you are in seclusion, take care of Xiaoyuan and the others, and will not go anywhere.”

“En.” Nodding, Liu Mufeng put his bracelet on his lover’s wrist and entered the dimension immediately.

Touching the bracelet on his wrist, Jiang Xu showed a happy smile and carefully hid the bracelet in his sleeve. He felt that as long as he could be with his Mufeng for a long time, even if he wasn’t a bounty hunter, it wouldn’t matter if he was poor or tired. Really, as long as two people snuggle with each other, love each other, and support each other. It’s actually pretty good to live such a simple life like this.
