...
A sleepless night.
Just as the sky began to lighten, Wen Jiu headed straight to the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss.
Not long after, Shan Yue Ru awoke and, seeing the blanket on her, couldn’t help but smile knowingly.
"Junior Brother Wen isn’t entirely a fool."
Hmm?
Shan Yue Ru suddenly felt her condition was much better than the previous day.
But it was only a slight improvent over yesterday.
So, Shan Yue Ru didn’t think much of it, attributing it to having a restful sleep at Wen Jiu’s place.
"Compared to sleepless nights at my own place, staying in Junior Brother Wen’s cultivation residence is really comforting." Shan Yue Ru looked around the unremarkable cultivation residence of Wen Jiu, montarily lost in thought.
After folding the blanket neatly, she didn’t call out for Wen Jiu, knowing that he had already gone to the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss.
She took another look around.
Shan Yue Ru sighed.
Turned and left.
...
In the following days.
Wen Jiu continued his cultivation as usual.
During this ti, the corpse of the Three Thousand Blood Inks smoothly transford into an Upper Realm Three Evil Black Corpse, and even though it was just an Upper Realm Black Corpse, its aura far surpassed that of a Middle Realm Flying Corpse.
Perhaps partly due to the enhancent from the Yin Sha True Spirit Body, Wen Jiu felt that its current strength could definitely kill a Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer cultivator.
This made Wen Jiu ponder for a mont; what if in the future, there were Foundation Establishnt cultivators’ corpses for refining.
How powerful would that be?
And on this day, news ca from the Gu Daoist again, concerning the Great Elder.
Great Elder Eastern Celestial City and Elder Bai Jianxin were pursuing the Netherworld Ghost Old Monster at the edge of the Cultivation Realm at Wild Deer Mountain, but Wild Deer Mountain was ambushed by leaders of the Celestial Left Alliance’s Shan and Ming branches of Qi Cultivation Ninth Level, along with thirteen Guardians of Qi Cultivation Seventh and Eighth Level.
After a night of fierce battle, Eastern Celestial City and Bai Jianxin slew two people, severely wounded six, and withdrew intact.
Although injured, it was not serious, but the Netherworld Ghost Old Monster’s whereabouts were unknown.
Evidently, they had already escaped from the Cultivation Realm at Deadman Peak, and leaving the Cultivation Realm at Deadman Peak was akin to a fish entering the sea.
Trying to find them again was almost impossible.
So now the Celestial Left Alliance spread rumors that Shan Yue Ru might not be dead, but was definitely infiltrated by the Nether Moon Ghost Qi.
That was why the two kept pursuing the Netherworld Ghost Old Monster.
"Good thing nothing happened, but now that the Netherworld Ghost Old Monster is missing, Shan Yue Ru’s situation might be very troubleso."
Wen Jiu sighed.
But he didn’t dwell on it more since the Great Elder had managed the Cultivation Realm for so many years, they couldn’t be troubled by just one Nether Moon Ghost Qi.
The ti wasn’t enough before.
But with his secret assistance, there was ample ti now.
Compared to the situation of the Great Elder, Wen Jiu was actually more concerned about the chain reaction brought about by the bounty, and so that day, after midnight, he went to the All-Knowing Tower to spend so money to buy recent news on Deadman Peak.
As expected, the bounty caused the Side Peak Master, and the cultivators from the Demon-slaying Departnt, Spirit Suppression Departnt, and Demon Suppression Departnt outside, to be attacked more frequently every day.
Although the Celestial Left Alliance Leader only wanted the corpse of a Peak of Mid-stage Qi Cultivation cultivator, such cultivators were hard to co by, and the Side Peak was not easy to break into. Therefore, most of the Heterodox Cultivators used deception.
I destroy your market.
Will you co?
I kill your disciple.
Will you co?
And because of this matter, Heterodox Cultivators and Tribulation Cultivators also joined the feast. Even if not for the Left Essence Pill, they would seize the opportunity to profit.
Those Heterodox Wanderers or Tribulation Cultivators were well-inford and rich in experience.
Even without any sources of information, they could deduce that sothing might have happened to the Master of Deadman Peak.
Otherwise, why would the Celestial Left Alliance act so recklessly?
However, the retaliation from Deadman Peak was also intense. For instance, Elder Ye Chen had been actively hunting down Heterodox Demons these days, with over thirty people, including one Late Stage of Qi Cultivation Tribulation cultivator, having died at his hands.
"It’s really chaotic."
Wen Jiu sighed and headed ho.
...
Outside Deadman Peak.
Under a starry night sky resembling the sea, atop a chain of mountains, Eastern Celestial City and Bai Jianxin were swiftly flying, but their direction was not back to Deadman Peak, but towards Little Inference Mountain of the Three Sects and Six Peaks.
Their appearance had already stirred many people on Little Inference Mountain. Wherever they passed, a group of cultivators could be seen standing vigilantly on the peak tops. Upon seeing the two rely passing by, they sighed in relief.
And just three hundred miles away from the main peak of Little Inference Mountain, there stood a man atop several peaks connected by iron chains.
Qi Cultivation Ninth Level.
The man wore a red robe, with a pair of Winged Fire Pythons following behind. Upon seeing Eastern Celestial City and Bai Jianxin, he cupped his fists and said, "Two Fellow Daoists, recklessly barging through Little Inference Mountain’s territory, isn’t that a bit too impolite?"
Despite the lack of ti, Eastern Celestial City paused, for it was none other than the Second Elder of Little Inference Mountain, Fang Qiu.
"Fellow Daoist Fang, I have urgent matters to find your master." Eastern Celestial City returned the salute, even though there was so friction and water-fire incompatibility in the past, but today he ca seeking help, so he could only maintain a respectful attitude.
Fang Qiu sneered, "No need to go; my master is not at the main peak of Little Inference Mountain, and aren’t you worried about coming but not returning? Everyone in the Three Sects and Five Peaks already knows the situation that your master is very likely fallen."
"Since I dare to co, what do you suppose your master’s condition should be now, Fellow Daoist?" Eastern Celestial City responded calmly.
He knew that at this mont, any weakness would confirm the Celestial Left Alliance’s deliberate spread of this news.
Fang Qiu’s smile stiffened; he had always been skeptical of the Celestial Left Alliance’s information. Seeing Eastern Celestial City’s composure now revealed to him that the information might be false, "Even if your master is unhard, you have no reason to trespass Little Inference Mountain. If you still insist, don’t bla us for being rude."
