This was also the reason why no one stopped Mi Xiaojing. Since there were disciples loyal to the Heart Sect willing to die, and since he wanted to be loyal to the sect, they might as well let him die. Stop him? The rogue cultivators were not that bored.

In a moment, Mi Xiaojing returned to the Gathering Spring Courtyard, which had completely turned into ruins. Even the small pond formed by the Three-Eyed Spirit Spring was buried by more than half with mud and rocks.

Boom!

A brilliant light shone from not far away, followed by the sound of impact and cursing. The noise grew louder and louder. Mi Xiaojing quickly hid in the ruins and looked out.

A figure was shooting towards the Gathering Spring Courtyard quickly, with two sword shadows following closely behind him.

The person in front suddenly stopped. He landed on a pile of ruins, a sword hanging beside him, spitting out a half-foot-long Treasure Light. This was the phenomenon presented after being driven to its full potential.

Yong Ji!

Mi Xiaojing was stunned. It was actually Yong Ji, and he was being chased by two Foundation Establishment experts. These two people’s cultivation levels were not much different from Yong Ji’s, so it was no wonder he couldn’t resist and could only fight while fleeing.

The two pursuing cultivators were both late-stage Foundation Establishment rogue cultivators. The reason they couldn’t take down Yong Ji was not only because of his own strength, but also because his spirit sword played a key role.

This was a spirit sword. Even if the two of them joined forces, they could only gain the upper hand. Every time it came to a critical moment, Yong Ji’s spirit sword would exert its power, forcing the two to withdraw and defend themselves.

However, after fighting for so long, Yong Ji’s true essence had been consumed almost completely. He was gradually becoming unable to cope and wanted to shake off the two and find a place to recover his strength.

But these two rogue cultivators were extremely shrewd. Of course, they wouldn’t give Yong Ji such an opportunity. They kept pestering him, not giving him any time to recover.

Yong Ji’s chest was heaving violently. He tried to calm his rapid breathing, staring at the two men. He was extremely annoyed. If it was one-on-one, he would have killed the opponent long ago. But with the two of them joining forces, he was really no match.

Yong Ji wanted to take out a Cultivating Essence Pill to recover his true essence several times, but he couldn’t bear to do so. He only had four Cultivating Essence Pills in his hand, all of which were given to him by Mi Xiaojing privately. Three of them were low-grade pills. He had already consumed two in the previous battles, leaving only one.

There was also a medium-grade Cultivating Essence Pill, which Yong Ji would absolutely not eat unless it was absolutely necessary.

Yong Ji suddenly turned his head and glanced at the ruins where Mi Xiaojing was hiding. A trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, but his attention was quickly diverted.

The two late-stage Foundation Establishment rogue cultivators landed on the left and right, forming a pincer attack. One of them said, “Put down your storage bag, and you can go!”

Having seen Yong Ji’s strength, the two of them really had no confidence in defeating him. So they wanted to force Yong Ji to put down his storage bag. Even if they could snatch some spoils of war, it would be good. As for killing the opponent, neither of them had this confidence.

“Spit!”

Yong Ji spat out a mouthful of saliva and arrogantly said, “You two pieces of trash, you haven’t done anything to me so far. If you have the ability, kill me. Not only can you take away the storage bag, but you can also get my spirit sword. Hmph…you two pieces of trash, if you have the guts, fight me one-on-one, see how I **********” Mi Xiaojing almost laughed out loud. When he had seen Yong Ji before, he was always silent and spoke very calmly. He didn’t expect that once he started fighting, he would call everyone trash and refer to himself as ‘your grandpa’. It was quite surprising.

The two rogue cultivators looked at each other and then launched an attack at the same time. One of them used a sword, but it was far inferior to the Qianyang Sword. The other rogue cultivator used a magic weapon, a string of copper coins. When it was sent out, it turned into a sky full of coin shadows. When it gathered, it turned into a copper coin sword, which looked very strange.

The two of them cooperated very tacitly. One attacked and the other defended. There was no gap between their switches. Yong Ji couldn’t find an opportunity to attack, which led to a stalemate.

Mi Xiaojing watched with great interest. For him, any battle was a learning opportunity, especially high-level battles, which could give him some experience.

In fact, Mi Xiaojing had already decided to make a move. Yong Ji had protected him for some days. Although the two of them couldn’t be said to have a good relationship, Yong Ji had been very friendly to him during this period. Mi Xiaojing had always been like this. If you were good to me, I wouldn’t ignore you. I would definitely lend a hand.

This quality was something that Wang Weijun deeply despised. Actions without a purpose, in his view, were just stupid and foolish.

Mi Xiaojing used his Divine Sense to check the Poison Lotus. Three of them had not fully recovered, and only one was intact, which he had not used last time.

After thinking for a moment, Mi Xiaojing understood that this single Poison Lotus was far from enough. The only thing that could help Yong Ji was the Qingmu Formation. Once the Qingmu Formation was deployed, Yong Ji could defeat his opponents without Mi Xiaojing’s help.

But when he thought of the consumption of the Qingmu Formation, Mi Xiaojing felt helpless. However, when he thought about the Spirit Stones he had just obtained from Chen Shouyi, he felt much better. He had enough to use the formation many times.Quietly opening the wooden box, Mi Xiaojing secretly set up a formation, appearing quite composed at this moment.

Wang Weijun asked in surprise, “What are you doing?”

Mi Xiaojing replied, “Setting up a formation, what else could I be doing?”

“I mean, why are you setting up a formation? Are you planning to join the fight?”

“If I can hold off one of them, Elder Yong will be able to win…”

“Hey! Kid, we’re here to seize an opportunity, not to fight… With your level of strength, fighting here is just asking for death, isn’t it?”

“No, with the Qingmu formation, I’m not afraid even if two of them come in, let alone one!”

Wang Weijun didn’t bother to argue further. After all, it was Mi Xiaojing’s Spirit Stones being consumed, and it had nothing to do with him. He simply didn’t like this approach.

Of course, Wang Weijun knew very well that Mi Xiaojing, with his Qingmu formation and Poison Lotus, had already surpassed the strength of an average Foundation Establishment cultivator. This was also why he dared to stir up trouble here.

Without these two treasures, Mi Xiaojing’s strength would be greatly reduced. He was relying on these two trump cards, along with an ancient escape talisman, to move freely in this situation.

Suddenly, Mi Xiaojing emerged from the ruins, then threw out a bunch of talismans, which instantly transformed into fireballs, ice arrows, and the like. Even a Qi Refining cultivator could withstand such talismans, let alone a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Upon seeing Mi Xiaojing, Yong Ji was greatly shocked and shouted, “Run!”

The two rogue cultivators’ eyes lit up instantly. This was a ready-made opportunity. If they didn’t seize it, they wouldn’t be the cunning men they were known to be. It was clear that Yong Ji attached great importance to this kid, otherwise he wouldn’t be so anxious.

The two men exchanged a glance. One of them used his flying sword to entangle Yong Ji, while the other charged directly at Mi Xiaojing.
