Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal Chapter 425 - 34: Departure, Jiang Wanning’s Reluctance
Zhou Xun beckoned with his hand, collecting the corpse and the storage bag of the person.
Jiang Wanning’s mouth was agape in shock, her eyes full of astonishnt.
These were two living, breathing Core Formation cultivators, once so arrogant and earth-shattering in their actions,
the overwhelming force they unleashed was enough to terrify her,
she had thought that after breaking through to Core Formation, facing such an assault, she would have no choice but to flee.
Yet Zhou Xun didn’t dodge or retreat, with just one sword strike, he beheaded these two arrogant Core Formation cultivators.
Looking at Zhou Xun now, he seed profoundly mysterious,
standing there, he exuded the deanor of a Sword Dao Grandmaster, deep as an abyss and towering like a mountain.
Last ti, Zhou Xun had commanded the Earth Elent Beast and the Blood Demon Child in battle, she was already shocked by his celestial prowess, thought she knew his capabilities well,
but seeing him today, only the phrase ’imasurable depth’ sufficed to describe him.
"Even if Old Demon Yulu ca face to face, I reckon he would only flee in panic!"
Thinking this, she couldn’t help but feel an overwhelming sense of security.
It wasn’t until Zhou Xun spoke that her reverie was broken.
"Since these two are already subdued, the remaining demon cultivators are now for you to deal with!"
"By the way," Zhou Xun seed to recall sothing, asking:
"Do you know how far Old Demon’s Yulu Valley is from here?"
"Approximately three hundred thousand miles away!" Jiang Wanning thought for a mont, then replied.
Three hundred thousand miles, Zhou Xun nodded.
At the speed of a Peak Core Formation cultivator, it would take about four or five days.
"Is it your aning that the Old Demon?" Jiang Wanning seed to understand the reason for Zhou Xun’s question,
"That’s right, before you and I beca one, I detected a restriction on you, presumably set by the Old Demon,"
"previously I destroyed it, I think the Old Demon has received the news and is rushing here at full speed,"
"For Fairy Jiang’s sake and the Jiang Family, it’s wise to relocate quickly!" Zhou Xun rarely offered a hint.
After all, she was a woman of intimate acquaintance; he couldn’t just pull up his pants, clap his hands, and leave so easily.
"Thank you for the advice, though there are currently over a hundred demon cultivators at Cuihu Mountain, extrely tricky to handle..." Jiang Wanning showed a troubled expression.
Among the demon cultivators, though the two leading Core Formation cultivators had fallen, there were still a few Fake Pill cultivators and dozens of Foundation Establishnt demon cultivators, with the current strength of the Jiang Family, they were indeed hard to deal with.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xun thought for a mont and responded:
"I’ll have Feng Chong assist you!"
With that, he patted the spirit beast bag, and a spirit beast with a tiger head, leopard body, double wings on its back, and sharp claws flew out, hovering in front of the two.
"Feng Chong greets the Master!"
As the Earth Elent Beast erged, it mimicked human cultivators by retreating, bowing its head and offering a grand salute to Zhou Xun.
"Oh..." It then sensed the mana aura of Zhou Xun’s Middle-Stage Core Formation, and imdiately smiled in a humanoid manner, congratulating him:
"Congratulations, Master, on your great advancent in cultivation, may you live long and prosper!"
"Rise!" Zhou Xun said coolly, then pointed to Jiang Wanning beside him,
"For the coming period, follow Fairy Jiang’s orders!"
The Earth Elent Beast followed Zhou Xun’s finger direction, its keen sense of sll caused its nose to twitch subconsciously,
’This woman seems... to have the master’s scent on her!’
The Earth Elent Beast had a flash of understanding, imdiately bowing again,
"Greetings Fairy Jiang, whatever the fairy requires during this ti, feel free to instruct!"
Jiang Wanning was delighted upon hearing Zhou Xun’s words, then looked at the Earth Elent Beast, nodded:
"Then I’ll trouble Elder Feng..."
Hearing the words "Elder Feng," the Earth Elent Beast shivered internally, instinctively looking at Zhou Xun, and without hesitation interrupted:
"Please don’t use the term ’elder,’ the fairy can just call Feng Chong or Old Feng!" It then crouched down beside Jiang Wanning’s feet, indicating she should sit on its back.
Seeing this, Zhou Xun was amused, who would have thought the Earth Elent Beast could be so sly,
Jiang Wanning, however, was in a dilemma, after all, she was only at the Foundation Establishnt, while the Earth Elent Beast was a genuine Tier Three Middle-Grade Spirit Beast, equivalent to a human Middle-Stage Core Formation cultivator.
So she looked toward Zhou Xun for help,
Zhou Xun gave her a reassuring look, speaking gently:
"Old Feng lets you ride, so ride, it’s no problem!"
With Zhou Xun’s assurance, Jiang Wanning finally climbed onto the back of the Earth Elent Beast and began clearing the demon cultivators at Cuihu Mountain.
Soon, the screams echoed throughout Cuihu Mountain and Cuihu Market at the foot of the mountain,
and the news of the appearance of a Tier Three Middle-Grade Spirit Beast at the Jiang Family of Cuihu Mountain began to spread without trace.
This quelled the thoughts of opportunistic lawless cultivators who were eyeing for a chance to loot.
This was sothing Zhou Xun and Jiang Wanning did not anticipate,
an unwitting move that stabilized Jiang Wanning and the Jiang Family’s situation, while also deterring the surrounding area.
Half a day later, having dealt with all demon cultivators, Jiang Wanning delegated the aftermath to the elders of her clan,
then rode the Earth Elent Beast back to the Cave Mansion, paying her respects to Zhou Xun again.
"Greetings, young master!"
As Jiang Wanning and the Earth Elent Beast entered the Cave Mansion, Zhou Xun was reclining on a stone stool in the hall, enjoying spirit wine alone.
"Fairy Jiang has taken care of everything!"
"Everything is settled, thank you young master, and Old Feng!"
Upon hearing this, the Earth Elent Beast quickly shook its gigantic head:
"It’s all thanks to the master’s strategic planning and Fairy Jiang’s decisive actions; Old Feng rely acted as a henchman, unworthy of praise, hehe!"
Seeing this, Zhou Xun smiled faintly, it seed the Earth Elent Beast’s skill in speech only improved with its cultivation advancent, eventually waving his hand and sealing it into the spirit beast bag.
"Now that Fairy Jiang has dealt with the demon cultivators, you should make preparations promptly; the Old Demon should be only a little over two hundred thousand miles away now!" Zhou Xun remarked.
"Young master, are you leaving?" Fairy Jiang lanted with a hint of reluctance.
Zhou Xun naturally noticed Fairy Jiang’s expression but still nodded, he wasn’t one to linger indecisively.
Their relationship could only be counted as a fleeting romance, at most a transaction, thus Zhou Xun felt no burden in his heart.
She was not like Song Yiqing, who remained by his side for decades,
nor like Lin Xueying, who knew him from humble beginnings, with the friendship of childhood companions!
"Will you return, young master?" Jiang Wanning asked with expectancy.
"Maybe yes, maybe no!" Zhou Xun ultimately did not speak the truth.
In fact, even if he returned, he wouldn’t use the identity of Lii Feiyu anymore.
Thus, for Jiang Wanning, it equaled a farewell forever!
"Then I’ll wait for you, young master!" Jiang Wanning smiled, a contented smile, that possibility of coming back was enough!
"Alright, I should be on my way, this ’Crystal Condensing Pill’ and Ice Cone are left for you!"
With that, Zhou Xun patted his storage bag, retrieving a dicine bottle and the Ice Cone magical treasure confiscated earlier, placing them on the stone table in the hall, then stood up and walked towards the door.
...
anwhile, a thousand miles east of Cuihu Mountain, a black spirit light raced madly over.
