In Daqing Mountain, there once was a cave dwelling where a Nascent Soul Level Great Cultivator cultivated in seclusion. However, during his Heavenly Tribulation, he unfortunately perished.
Weii Hong, only a Quasi Golden Core Expert who had yet to form a real Golden Core, could not take this treasure for himself. So, he used his son, Weii Yang, to make connections through the Wuji Sect, hoping his master would co to lend a helping hand.
But the Great Elder was in a critical phase of his retreat and did not personally attend. Instead, he sent his confidant, Ninth Elder Du Sha, who arrived with two disciples of the Half Golden Core level, under the guise of training to help.
They had just planned this affair, preparing to choose a day to enter Daqing Mountain for the treasure. However, at this critical juncture, Fairy Ling of the Cloud Sea Sect suddenly paid a visit, which made them uneasy.
This was why Weii Hong asked this particular question.
After a mont of contemplation, Ling Shuanghua replied with a dimple smile:
"Within that Nascent Soul cave dwelling, there is a three-thousand-year-old strange fruit. I only want that fruit; you can deal with the rest as you wish. Also..."
Hearing that Ling Shuanghua only wanted a strange fruit, both Weii Hong and Ninth Elder Du Sha felt a surge of excitent.
They knew that if she had demanded most or all of the treasures inside, they wouldn’t dare to refuse.
The Cloud Sea Sect was too powerful, powerful enough to erase the entire Green Mountain Town from the map with just the flick of a finger. They dared not provoke nor could they afford to provoke them.
Just as they were getting excited, Ling Shuanghua suddenly shifted her tone, giving them a feeling like Mount Tai was pressing down on them.
Weii Hong and Du Sha exchanged glances, then tremblingly asked, "Are there any other demands, just command us, immortal!"
Ling Shuanghua, full of pride, responded: "I want you to capture that rapist within three days!"
After speaking, she thought of sothing else and casually added, "Bring him alive; I want to end his life personally!"
Hearing this request from Ling Shuanghua, rather than another share of the treasure, Du Sha felt a great relief and said, "Rest assured, Fairy, our Wuji Sect will do our utmost, and will not fail the task."
Weii Hong also ca forward to say, "To not hide from the immortal, my son has already located the rapist, but we have not confird it yet, which is why we dared not report to you. I believe it won’t take long before we bring good news!"
Before his words even finished, a guard rushed over in a hurry.
Seeing this, Weii Hong was overjoyed. Capturing the rapist not only would secure the relic treasures from Qingchengg Mountain but also might allow his son, Weii Yang, to enter the esteed Heavenly Extre Immortal Sect of Cloud Sea Sect, a fortune as great as ancestral blessings.
As the saying goes, ’when one man gains the Dao, his poultry and dogs ascend to heaven’. Perhaps their Weii family might turn their fortunes and no longer have to endure hardship in this desolate place.
However, the guard didn’t co to share good news, but to deliver bad news.
"The City Lord, sothing terrible has happened; the Young City Lord has been killed by the rapist!"
Hearing this news, Weii Hong felt as if he had plunged from heaven into hell. His body violently shook twice, nearly fainting on the spot.
He stepped forward, and like grabbing a chick, firmly grasped the guard’s neck.
"What did you say? The Young City Lord was killed?"
The guard, trembling, replied, "Yes, he was killed by that rapist with a palm strike!"
Weii Hong, with round eyes and hysterical, shouted, "What were Wan Jia, Du Yi, and the City Lord’s Mansion Guard doing? What are they all eating?"
Wan Jia and Du Yi were high-level Venerated Elders of his City Lord’s Manor, both at the peak of the Foundation Establishnt Late Stage, and the City Lord’s Mansion Guard had many strong n. Such a formidable force, even if faced by him, a Quasi Golden Core Expert, had to be temporarily avoided.
"They all died, the City Lord’s Mansion guards were also more than half dead, only a few of us luckily survived!"
"What, all dead?"
This ti not only Weii Hong was shocked, but even Du Sha of the Wuji Sect could not help but be taken aback.
However, regarding this, Ling Shuanghua’s expression remained calm and unwavering, showing no signs of surprise. It seed that this result was not unexpected for her.
The guard, terrified, stuttered in response: "Yes, they are all dead. Moreover, he also killed more than a dozen Foundation Establishnt Experts, even the three Ge brothers perished in the street!"
Weii Hong’s fury soared to the heavens, and he hysterically roared, "Where has that thief gone now?"
"It seems he has headed in the direction of Daqing Mountain, I couldn’t see clearly, I don’t rember distinctly!"
"What a useless waste, a complete waste. Unable to even discern the whereabouts of a living person, what use do I have for you?"
Before the words could settle, Weii Hong fiercely slapped out, instantly killing the guard with his palm. Blood splattered everywhere, a sight utterly shocking.
To this, the elders and deacons of the Wuji Sect had beco accustod to such events and paid no mind to this unfortunate soul, instead turning to console Weii Hong, urging him to calm his anger and to accept the inevitable with grace.
Ling Shuanghua rely furrowed her brows slightly, not because of the guard’s grueso death, but because the manner of his death displeased her.
Not to ntion the super sect Cloud Sea Sect, but just the Wuji Sect alone. Their disciples consider themselves above all others, never treating these lower beings as humans.
In the eyes of these high-ranking figures, these servants’ lives are as insignificant as ants. Their death is trivial and nothing to fuss over.
Hearing the consolations from Du Sha and others, Weii Hong realized his earlier misbehavior and hurriedly apologized to Du Sha and Ling Shuanghua.
He quickly ordered his n to drag the unfortunate guard’s body out and clean the floor, lest these dirty remains offend the eyes of the distinguished figures.
Once the atmosphere had eased slightly, Elder Du Sha of the Wuji Sect respectfully said to Ling Shuanghua, "Fairy Ling, that thief must also be heading for the relics in Daqing Mountain. If we head to Daqing Mountain, we can surely capture and kill him!"
Ling Shuanghua nodded slightly, agreeing to the suggestion.
...
Their conjectures were correct; Li Chen indeed headed towards Daqing Mountain.
Li Chen stood aloft, gazing far into Daqing Mountain. He discovered that the mountain and river formations naturally ford an Array.
Beyond that, he faintly sensed powerful True Yuan fluctuations at the center, seemingly a Forbidden Barrier.
After a mont of contemplation, Li Chen prepared to make his way there.
To avoid revealing his trail, Li Chen did not use Sword Control this ti, nor did he employ his True Yuan; he relied solely on his physical strength to delve deeper.
Along the way, he encountered nurous Demon Beasts.
However, on the periphery, they were mostly low-level Demon Beasts, with even third-level Demonic Beasts rarely seen.
But deeper inside, and further in by hundreds of miles, third-level Demonic Beasts started appearing, and occasionally, even fourth-level Demon Beasts.
Usually, Li Chen would avoid them if possible, not entangling himself with them. If necessary, he would kill them with a single palm.
The combat strength of third-level Demon Beasts is comparable to a regular Foundation Establishnt Expert. As long as they were not too troubleso, Li Chen could eliminate them in a single encounter.
Thus, his journey was relatively smooth.
After traveling several hundred miles, the sunset had already fallen. The crimson afterglow spilling through the forest seed to drape it in a red gauze.
Since entering the Immortal Sect, Li Chen had hardly rested, not even having a chance to eat. This continuous combat had genuinely wearied him.
He hunted a third-level Demon Beast, a Tri-Horned Antelope, planning to roast it whole right there to comfort his own internal organs.
It took Li Chen almost half an hour to roast the antelope to a crisp and greasy state, and just as he was about to indulge, the entire forest trembled violently.
In the distance, beasts and birds that had just returned to their nests frantically fled, as if a horrifying entity was chasing them from behind.
Realizing this, Li Chen’s brows slightly furrowed.
"It can’t be, have they caught up so quickly?"
...
