Chapter 34
This made Chen Qingke even more surprised.
Not only did Senior Brother Li predict the ambush in advance, but he also even managed to find the specific location of the various members of the other party.
She knew that she could not do such a thing.
From where she was looking, she could see a breeze blowing near the spiritual land, and it was quiet.
It looked like a very ordinary scene.
Chen Qingke did not ask further.
She chose to believe in Senior Brother Li.
Senior Brother Li was not someone who spoke without thinking.
She believed that he must have his reasons for saying this.
Chen Qingke asked after some thought, “Then, senior brother, what should we do?”
Li Ming was the one who had found these ambushers, so Chen Qingke felt that he must have a way to deal with them.
Li Ming thought for a while and came up with an idea.
“Come closer, we’ll do this and this…”
He told Chen Qingke about his plan, and the latter smiled.
“Senior brother, I didn’t expect you to have such a move.”
Li Ming laughed.
After making the battle plan, the two of them went their separate ways.
Chen Qingke went around to the east side of the spiritual land, while Li Ming went to the west side.
As Li Ming had used his powerful divine sense in advance, he had explored the entire vicinity of the spiritual land.
He also told Chen Qingke the locations of all the ambushers.
Therefore, the two’s sneaky actions did not let the ambushers notice a trace of their movement.
On the other side, Chen Qingke turned toward the position she had planned. With a flip of her sleeve, a small bronze cauldron the size of a palm appeared in her palm.
This small cauldron was extremely similar to the small bronze sword she had used to harvest the spiritual herbs previously. They both had an ancient aura and were not very big in shape.
“Watch my cauldron!”
Chen Qingke put her index and middle fingers together, pointed in a direction, and sent the small bronze cauldron smashing toward the direction she pointed.
In fact, what Li Ming had told her to do was to attract the attention of those who were lying in ambush.
In her opinion, there was nothing more intimidating than her own small bronze cauldron.
The small cauldron that had appeared in an instant suddenly smashed into the seemingly ordinary grass.
“BOOM!”
A powerful pressure quickly enveloped the area.
The small bronze cauldron was like a small mountain, and it had an astonishing aura!
At this moment, the inner sect disciple who was lying in ambush under the grass was dumbfounded.
How was there a spiritual artifact suddenly attacking him?
Could it be that they were discovered?
He wanted to escape, but it was too late.
Because this spirit artifact’s attack was very direct, by the time he noticed it, the large cauldron was already smashing over.
The disciple had no choice but to use his magic artifact to defend himself.
In a hurry, he was pushed back a few feet, his face filled with shock.
“Who is it?”
The rest of the people who were lying in ambush nearby were all shocked as well.
They all rushed out and rushed toward Chen Qingke.
They were very shocked, not even sure if their plan had been discovered in advance.
But they all found that to be unbelievable.
They believed their plan and setup to have been absolutely flawless.
They quickly surrounded Chen Qingke.
“It’s Junior Sister Chen!”
“Did you just randomly hit me?”
“In this secret realm, don’t blame us for being merciless!”
These people took out their magic artifacts one after another. Regardless of whether she did it on purpose or not, since she had messed up their ambush, they could not let her go.
Moreover, their overall strength was pretty good. No matter how strong Chen Qingke was, could she defeat them all?
Just as they were all focused on Chen Qingke…
Li Ming had already come out from the other side and used the Wind Lightning Steps. His whole body turned into a shadow!
His speed was unbelievably fast. He directly rushed to the sprouts in the spiritual land and reached out to pick the topaz-like spirit fruits.
“Swish!”
After he cleared the first row, he moved on to the next row.
He did not hold back and quickly plundered the entire spiritual land.
While he was picking the spirit fruits, someone from the group of people who were lying in ambush noticed the movement in the spirit land.
“Motherf*cker! Why is there someone picking up our spirit fruits?”
“That person… Isn’t that Li Ming?”
“He formed a team with Junior Sister Chen. We’ve been tricked!”
When they saw Li Ming appear in the spiritual land, they quickly understood.
All of this was Li Ming and Chen Qingke’s diversion tactic.
When they saw that the spiritual fruit that they had long regarded as their own had been picked clean by Li Ming, they were all furious.
They rushed towards Li Ming.
“Bye.”
Li Ming had finished plundering the spiritual land and ran away.
The spiritual land in this secret realm did not have an owner, so why could he not harvest it?
The ambushers were furious and wanted to capture Li Ming, but they did not expect him to be so fast and disappear in a flash.
Behind him, Chen Qingke’s spiritual weapon, the small bronze cauldron, also exuded a powerful aura.
The pressure from the cauldron caused their bodies to freeze as if they had been placed into a gravity field several times stronger.
With Chen Qingke’s interference, this group of people who wanted to chase after Li Ming naturally failed.
They could only look at the empty spiritual land in exasperation.
“Damn it! He actually stole our spirit fruits!”
A disciple holding a magical scroll gnashed his teeth in anger. He was a cultivator who was proficient in array formations.
He had planned to use these spirit fruits to trap some disciples with high cultivation and eliminate his competitors.
However, they did not expect someone to discover their ambush in advance and directly snatch the spirit fruits, making their ambush a joke.
Li Ming’s speed was beyond their imagination.
In the end, they could only watch as Li Ming took their resources and then escaped.
He said, “Let’s join forces and catch Chen Qingke!”
In a fit of anger, he led the group to counterattack Chen Qingke.
He could not let others take advantage of him like this.
Moreover, if he caught Chen Qingke, wouldn’t Li Ming come back obediently and hand back the spirit fruits that originally should have been theirs?
However, when they pounced on Chen Qingke, the latter stored away her spiritual artifact and quickly fled.
The strongest among them was only at the perfected qi refinement stage. They did not have as deep a cultivation as Chen Qingke, so they failed to catch up to her in the end.
In the end, the two managed to run away!
“Li Ming!”
“That kid got a great deal!”
“The next time I see him, he’ll definitely suffer!”
This group of people was filled with hatred.
They hated that they could not unleash all their strength on Li Ming.
When they returned to the empty spiritual land, they found that Li Ming had really cleared the entire spiritual land. He did not leave them a single spiritual fruit!
As a result, they were even angrier, but there was nothing they could do. They could only remain angry yet helpeless.
…
Meanwhile, according to the battle plan that they made beforehand, Li Ming waited for Chen Qingke on a small hill.
Soon, Chen Qingke emerged from the forest and met up with Li Ming.
The two of them looked at each other and laughed heartily.
If he had simply robbed them, he would not have been so happy, but fooling those self-conceited guys made him feel particularly good.
“Senior brother, you’re too amazing.”
Chen Qingke looked at Li Ming with admiration.
He was the one who discovered the ambush, and he was also the one who planned this tactic.
Otherwise, even if they could get it, they would have to go through a huge battle.
“Was it fun?” asked Li Ming.
“Yeah! I’d love to do that again!” Chen Qingke laughed happily.
