The Demon Hunting Squad consisted of twelve people, led by soone at the middle stage of Foundation Establishnt, most of the others were at the early stage of Foundation Establishnt, and a couple of Qi Refining Junior Cultivators.
They stopped a man and a woman, the man was at the middle stage of Foundation Establishnt, and the woman was at the early stage of Foundation Establishnt.
"What do you an by this, fellow cultivator?" The male cultivator halted and looked at the other side.
"What do I an?" The leader glanced up and down at the two, then snorted coldly: "Hmph, I suspect you are demon cultivators!"
Falsely accused, the male cultivator was imdiately sowhat flustered.
In recent years, there has been no lack of stories about cultivators within the domain being mistakenly killed by the Demon Hunting Squads.
Moreover, ultimately, the Law Enforcent Team of the Ten Thousand Laws Palace always claims exorcism and protection of the Dao, bloodshed is inevitable, blaming the demon cultivators' deceit, many are skilled at impersonating other cultivators, and the Demon Hunting Squad cannot be blad.
They comfort the deceased's family, stating that the blood won't be shed in vain, promising retribution for the demon cultivators.
Over ti, the Demon Hunting Squad gained more confidence.
"Fellow cultivator, this is a misunderstanding. My Dao companion and I are cultivators from the Wu Family of Jinsha River, born and bred here, definitely not demon cultivators." Although the male cultivator was not weaker than the other party, he had to accompany his statent with a smile.
Simultaneously, he secretly handed over a bag of Spirit Stones.
"Hmph! If you are not demon cultivators, why bribe ? You must be demon cultivators, face death!" Unexpectedly, the leader took the Spirit Stones and suddenly attacked while the male cultivator thought financial disaster release.
"Pft~" The male cultivator's Body-Protecting Dharma Shield was breached, fortunately, the Magic Robe provided protection, but he was still injured deeply by the full-powered attack.
In an instant, the Demon Hunting Squad seed like they had planned it beforehand, everyone behind moved in concert.
Within monts, the two were knocked to the ground, losing the ability to resist.
"Bold demon cultivators, daring to impersonate others, hmph, kill the man and take the woman back for interrogation." The leader seized their Storage Pouches at the first mont and ordered.
"Stop!" Li Ji'an, initially unwilling to interfere, couldn't remain uninvolved upon witnessing the scene.
The magical power of the pair was upright and harmonious, without any trace of the Yin Sha Qi similar to Xue Ling'Er and Du Haizang.
Upon hearing the cry, the Demon Hunting Squad instantly looked up to the sky.
Seeing only one person, piloting a top-tier Flying Boat, their spirits rose: "Hmph, another accomplice of demon cultivators?"
Li Ji'an narrowed his eyes, a Fake Pill-grade Divine Sense suddenly pressured down.
"Fake Pill True Man?" The group below suddenly grew tense.
"Boss, we found a big demon!" A not-so-smart Qi Cultivation Junior Cultivator suddenly exclaid with joy.
"Slap! Fool, demon cultivators are all at the Foundation Establishnt stage, how can there be a Fake Pill True Man." The leader slapped a subordinate, imdiately putting on a smile.
"Greetings, senior. We are a Demon Hunting Squad, currently capturing demon cultivators, may I ask what advice you have?"
Li Ji'an swept his cold gaze over them, pausing montarily on the man and woman, finally settling on the leader: "If I see you behaving so shalessly again, there will be no forgiveness, scram!"
Faced with this squad of over a dozen, unless Li Ji'an used Talismans, he could not obliterate them all, and the Talismans he possessed now were all late-stage Second Tier ones, too costly to justify.
Additionally, these people might not be without backing, possibly even related to the Ten Thousand Laws Palace.
Moreover, wiping out demon cultivators is currently politically correct, if he intervenes too deeply, he could find himself in a bind.
"This... Senior, please calm your anger, we... we might have been mistaken, these two are not demon cultivators, we juniors will take our leave." The leader's eyes shifted, ultimately making the right choice, releasing the control over the pair, and hastily departed.
Sensing the Blood Spirit Mark left within the pair's body moving further away without pause, Li Ji'an nodded towards the two who were bowing in gratitude below and then headed straight to Celestial River Immortal City.
This ti, after completing the transaction at Si Shui Comrce Association, Yuan Shunyi brought news to Li Ji'an that a full-scale battle between righteous and demon cultivators had erupted in the central region of the Great Marsh Cultivation Realm, with the northern demon realm's six sects gathering the power of seven domains to wage a war of aggression on the Nine Domains' righteous cultivators, further increasing future demands for Spirit Talismans.
Furthermore, in the northern regions of Celestial Cyan Domain, within Yellow Heaven Domain and Boundless Domain, the demon cultivators who were once part of the northern Demon Sect might respond to the northern Demon Sect's call, potentially sparking righteous and demon battles there too.
Li Ji'an was not surprised by this news, having understood the decisive role of Spirit Vein Dao Fields since arriving in this cultivation realm, knowing that conflicts would erupt over the Spirit Vein Dao Fields, whether between families, sects, or factions.
Moreover, righteous and demon faction conflicts had exploded thousands of years ago.
History is cyclical, today the east wind suppresses the west wind, tomorrow the west wind suppresses the east wind, all belong to the redistribution of limited resources.
For Li Ji'an, in the short term, the outbreak of a righteous and demon battle ans the Corpse Puppet Sect's Nascent Soul True Monarch will surely be targeted by the Ten Thousand Laws Palace, making it unlikely they could reach deeper into Celestial Cyan Domain, reducing the threat to him significantly.
However, in the long term, the turbulent cultivation realm is disadvantageous to a cultivator like him who accumulates slowly and seeks stability.
Of course, this situation lends a turn-around opportunity to the ordinary, unsupported, foundationless, and rootless low-level cultivators.
After the transaction, Li Ji'an returned to Biyun Sect.
That day, as he passed through the Great Marsh Mountains, an unexpected communication caused him to pause slightly.
A Communication Talisman that hadn't moved for over a decade within his Storage Pouch ca with a slight tremor.
It turned out to be Xiao Changfeng who ventured deep within Boundless Domain for thirteen years.
His ssage contained only two weak words: Help .
And Li Ji'an sensed the location of this communication, unexpectedly towards the direction of Fla Mountain where he captured the Little Fire Spirit years ago.
Subsequently, regardless of how he tried to communicate, there was no further reply.
"Boundless Domain is located northeast of Celestial Cyan Domain, right at the north side of Fla Mountain, could it be he escaped from Boundless Domain via Fla Mountain?" Li Ji'an was both surprised and delighted.
In these years, with the prevalence of exterminating demon cultivators within Celestial Cyan Domain, those sect disciples who entered Boundless Domain surely won't have it easy, possibly even worse.
Li Ji'an has almost constantly been monitoring the Soul Lamp status within the sect.
