Capítulo 857: Chapter 853: Spread
They hope to enlist the Spirit Venerable’s help to wipe them out in one go.
But they never expected a Venerable to achieve this level of power.
This has already surpassed the realm of a Venerable.
Li Miaotan whispered, “Are you alright?”
Her bright eyes were fixed on Chu Zhiyuan, whose face was as pale as paper.
Chu Zhiyuan said, “Just exhausted.”
“So domineering! So satisfying!” Li Chunhou praised, “No wonder it’s a treasure of the Spirit Communication Pavilion!”
The splattered blood quickly gathered together, and bodies fell one after another. Two-thirds started to show signs of regression, while one-third began to turn into nothingness, vanishing from the spot.
Chu Zhiyuan did not use the Great Demon Suppressing Seal, nor did he absorb the soul light of these Demon Clan mbers.
He had already discovered that too much soul light was of no benefit and would hinder his progress in his realm.
The obstacle to his current realm advancent was not due to a lack of soul light or experience.
It was insight.
The soul light stored within his Haoyang Demon-suppressing Mirror had already far exceeded his limit of absorption, so there was no need to continue increasing it.
What he lacked was a wonderful place like the Spirit Communication Pavilion, which could provide him with enough enlightennt and understanding of the world.
mories and emotions serve as materials, requiring a comprehension of the world to cause these materials to undergo peculiar changes, thereby propelling the realm upward.
Li Chunhou pinched his nose, “We better get going.”
Chu Zhiyuan said, “Third Brother, aren’t we going to search these guys?”
“Forget it.” Li Chunhou waved his hand, “The sll is overwhelming!”
The sll of blood was getting stronger, as thick as substance, making him dizzy.
He couldn’t stand to stay for another mont and just wanted to leave.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled, “What a pity, but let’s follow Third Brother’s advice.”
Fu Zheng gave Chu Zhiyuan a aningful look.
Chu Zhiyuan laughed, “Alright, Xiao Zheng, you and Yuzhen search them and see if there’s any intel.”
“Yes.” Fu Zheng responded with a reluctant expression.
Chu Zhiyuan laughed, “Third Brother, let’s go.”
“Let’s go.” Li Chunhou quickly turned to leave.
He was not only dizzy from the thick scent of blood but also overwheld by the sight of scattered bodies.
The dual assault on his senses made it unbearable, prompting him to escape urgently.
Fu Zheng and Li Yuzhen stayed behind to search the bodies, while Chu Zhiyuan and the others returned to the city.
Fu Zheng’s eyes lit up, and she turned to smile, “Sister Li, shall we begin?”
“There’s nothing much to search.” Li Yuzhen shook her head.
She noticed the exchanged glances between Fu Zheng and Chu Zhiyuan.
It was clear that Fu Zheng was eager to do the searching.
“Sister Li, I’m curious about what these Demon Clan mbers carry on them.”
“Nothing worth seeing.” Li Yuzhen shook her head, “Just so stinking things.”
As they talked, they used the tip of their swords to lift the collars of these Demon Clan experts, setting their concealed items aside.
“Hmm?” Li Yuzhen suddenly squinted her eyes.
Fu Zheng looked over.
Li Yuzhen’s sword tip stopped, revealing a jade bottle.
Fu Zheng asked, “Is it sothing valuable?”
Li Yuzhen sighed and shook her head, “It’s from our Spirit Guards.”
She brought the jade bottle closer, taking a similar jade bottle from her sleeve.
The two jade bottles were identical, both with a painting of a Green Pine and White Cloud on them.
“They really are identical.” Fu Zheng sighed, “Did a Spirit Guard fall?”
Li Yuzhen nodded.
They both fell silent.
The sword tip continued to flick items out; one by one, they landed in a pile beside them.
As they were busy, the sound of fluttering clothes reached their ears.
They glanced over.
A group of City Guards floated toward them, landing not far away.
Their faces showed signs of astonishnt.
The hundreds of bodies were imdiately recognizable as Demon Clan mbers.
To have killed so many Demon Clan mbers, the commotion must have been earth-shattering.
Yet all they heard were two long cries, which belonged to the Twelfth Princess Li Miaotan.
Hearing Li Miaotan’s cries, they rushed over, only to be t with the current scene.
“Greetings, Miss Li.” A middle-aged man clasped his hands solemnly and asked, “What is this…?”
“Just what you see.” Li Yuzhen replied coolly, “The Princess and Prince Consort destroyed them.”
“This…” The middle-aged man found it hard to believe, “All of this was done by the Twelfth Princess and the Prince Consort?”
“Yes.” Li Yuzhen’s longsword was in constant motion, swiftly uncovering one item after another.
The sword tip sorted them quickly; usable items flew into one pile, and useless ones into another.
They moved with amazing speed, gathering two large piles of items in the blink of an eye.
The middle-aged man turned to look at his companions.
They exchanged puzzled glances.
“The Twelfth Prince Consort is indeed formidable,” soone murmured.
They had all heard stories of Chu Zhiyuan slaying experts of the Demon and Demon Clans.
“Truly worthy of being the Twelfth Prince Consort.”
“How long did it take to kill them?”
“Probably a single sword strike…”
“Such a swift sword!”
…..
Among them were individuals with keen eyes who noticed the wounds on these Demon Clan experts.
They deduced that it was a one-strike kill.
Impressed, they couldn’t help but express their admiration.
As City Guards, especially those responsible for areas outside of the city, they had recently encountered quite a few Demon Clan experts.
They were well aware of how challenging it was to kill a Demon Clan expert.
Often, it wasn’t about killing them but them using the Jade and Stone Burning technique.
That often dragged away several experts at once.
This had caused heavy losses for the City Guards, leaving them wary of encountering Demon Clan experts.
They had yet to see a Venerable who could kill a Demon Clan expert in one strike.
…..
Even though Chu Zhiyuan’s face was pale, his speed didn’t slow down.
The Moon Silkworm Frost Robe was supporting him as he moved forward.
Once back inside the city, Li Chunhou let out a sigh of relief, “Finally made it back alive.”
He took a few deep breaths, exhaling the stale air, feeling like he’d been completely engulfed by the sll.
After returning, he’d need several thorough washes and lengthy soaks.
Arriving at Chu Zhiyuan’s small courtyard, they sat at the stone table in the pavilion.
Li Jingchun and You Lan attended them by the side.
“Brother-in-law, I underestimated you.”
“Third Brother, don’t hold too high; it’s rely the magic of the spiritual treasure.”
“Whether it’s with a spiritual treasure or one’s own skill, being able to slay the Demon Clan and Demon Clan mbers marks you as a hero.”
“It’s a pity it can only be used once.” Chu Zhiyuan shook his head, “I have to rest until tomorrow.”
“The Swift Light Sword…” Li Chunhou was filled with admiration.
Chu Zhiyuan asked, “Will this scare these fellows away?”
“No,” Li Miaotan shook her head.
Li Chunhou added, “They are not afraid of death, and they won’t retreat for the Phoenix Bloodline.”
“They don’t fear death, but they won’t commit suicide either,” Chu Zhiyuan reasoned, “What if we do it two more tis?”
“Yes, two more tis!” Li Chunhou said through gritted teeth, “The more we kill, the better.”
To avenge the fallen City Guards and innocent civilians, fiercely slaughtering a group of Demon Clan and Demon Clan experts was necessary to appease the resentnt.
It would also serve as revenge for the people and the City Guards.
“Third Brother, my husband has slain so many Demon Clan and Demon Clan experts,” Li Miaotan said, “Has Father not expressed any recognition, just pretending not to know?”
“Right, I’m going to demand a reward from Father!”
He left eagerly.
As soon as he left, soone reported that the Eldest Prince and Second Prince were coming together.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled, “Big Brother and Second Brother have their sources.”
“Probably everyone knows by now.” Li Miaotan said, “The Court knows too.”
Such news would spread quickly, especially when it involved the experts of the Demon Clan and Demon Clan.
“Haha… Brother-in-law, so satisfying! So satisfying!”
Just as Chu Zhiyuan and Li Miaotan went out to welco them, they saw the Eldest Prince Li Cunren laugh heartily.
The Second Prince Li Cunyi also wore a smile, looking approvingly at Chu Zhiyuan.
Chu Zhiyuan and Li Miaotan led them into Chu Zhiyuan’s small courtyard and sat down for tea.
“Father received word from the Heavenly Palace,” Li Cunren remarked with emotion, “He was quite surprised.”
Li Cunyi expressed his admiration, “We also received news on the way here. Relying on this treasure, brother-in-law, you have been slaughtering the Demon and Demon Clan experts, which is truly thrilling!”
Li Miaotan snorted, “The citizens may not be pleased when they hear it.”
She was aware of the sentints and opinions within the Imperial City, which were very dismissive of Chu Zhiyuan.
Li Cunren said, “After this, the people will undoubtedly be grateful.”
