"Must be out of fear, you fled to Moon Rhinoceros Lake District! I will challenge you again! And that Chen Ye... dared to touch me with those disgusting tentacles..."
She held her chin, racking her brains about how to get revenge.
Suddenly, she had a brainwave.
"Wait... I can’t beat him now, but my mother has many powerful underlings..."
The girl in the black dress twisted a cold smile,
"You dared to bully me! I will repay it a hundredfold!"
Although,
If mother knew, she would be very angry.
But if I hide it from her, wouldn’t it be fine?
At that time, I only need to disguise and strike again!
That Chen Ye and Xu Qingjun, even if bullied, they won’t find anyone to settle accounts!
Zhang Chuxi grew more and more excited as she thought.
Don’t they love using filthy tentacles to disgust her?
She would slice off all those tentacles!
...
Long journeys, bringing along two disciples, naturally don’t suit crossing by Flying Sword.
"I should look for a flying Magical Treasure..."
Chen Ye sat inside the spirit carriage issued by the sect, thinking silently.
Back then,
He traveled to Lisong Valley also by the sect’s spirit carriage; now having reached Foundation Establishment, he’s still riding a spirit carriage...
Fortunately.
He is no longer who he was; the sect’s arranged carriage is far more advanced than before.
This spirit carriage is drawn by two pure white, air-walking cloud steeds; the carriage is spacious and stable, with soft beast skin cushions inside, a small table, traveling high in the sky without a hint of bumpiness.
"Master, these horses can fly; are they Second Tier Demon Beasts?"
Qing Jun curiously looked at the cloud steed; it’s her first time seeing winged horses.
Chen Ye laughed: "How could it be Foundation Establishment Demon Beasts... It’s just a Demon Beast at the Middle Period of Qi Cultivation."
Zhiwei was much quieter, kneeling beside the low table, fully focused on brewing a pot of Spirit Tea.
The steam enveloped her cool and calm face, her black hair draped around her waist, making her appear ethereal.
Every time Chen Ye saw Zhiwei like this, he always worried she would fly away in the next moment.
His worry is not unfounded.
In the original plot, Zhiwei was eventually found by people from the Hidden Immortal Sect, thus entering the sect and cultivating for hundreds of years.
He mused: "Zhiwei should be destined. But now, the world line has already strayed... I wonder if those from the Immortal Sect will still seek Zhiwei..."
Chen Ye sighed, unable to resist reaching out to pinch Zhiwei’s cheek.
The young girl with the black hair blushed from his pinch, her act broke in a second, she pouted: "Master, stop teasing Zhiwei..."
Chen Ye laughed heartily, just about to say a few more words to tease her, but his expression suddenly turned serious.
"Whoa—!"
At almost the same moment, the two cloud steeds pulling the carriage neighed uneasily, and the carriage abruptly halted in mid-air.
"Master, what’s wrong?" Qing Jun also sensed something amiss, sticking her little head out of the carriage window.
Chen Ye did not immediately reply as his Divine Sense spread out, his expression grew solemn.
He sensed the Spiritual Qi in the area ahead turning chaotic, mixed with nauseating filthy Evil Qi, like ink dripping into a pot of clear soup.
He maneuvered the carriage, slowly lowering altitude, parting the clouds and looking down.
Below, on a vast plain, a small market that should be a resting place for Cultivators was now engulfed in flames!
Dozens of Demon Beasts with crimson eyes rampaged in the market,
Chasing and tearing apart the fleeing Low Tier Cultivators and mortal men.
Such markets, unlike Taoshan, Yunxi, and Moon Lake districts,
Are merely places for Loose Cultivators to trade and rest, mostly containing mortals while Cultivators were mainly at the Early to Middle Stage of Qi Cultivation.
Now, being attacked by dozens of Demon Beasts, the outcome is predictable.
Zhiwei instantly sensed something wrong: "This market is between Lingyin and Moon Rhinoceros District, in the hinterland, why are there Demon Beasts attacking?"
"Look at those Demon Beasts, eyes red, enveloped by black Qi, they’ve long lost their Spirituality, only killing instinct remains. These aren’t ordinary Demon Beasts; they’re magical creatures controlled by Demonic Technique."
Chen Ye explained, activating the Guardian Jade Pendant to notify the sect.
Something is amiss...
According to Peak Master Pang, the Emotion Crossing Sect’s current actions were merely routine harassment.
Then why is the sect’s interior still disturbed by the Demon Cultivators?
It seems the sect is still unaware of this?
"This is bad; could it be that Moon Rhinoceros Lake District met an accident?"
Chen Ye’s heart tightened.
If Moon Rhinoceros Lake District was intact, it’s impossible for Demon Beasts to penetrate the hinterland.
With that thought,
He looked around, his expression cooled.
Far on the horizon, not just one, but multiple directions, all had Demonic Qi spreading.
With his Foundation Establishment Stage eyesight, he could even see some minute black dots wreaking havoc on the horizon, which were evidently flying Demon Beasts.
A moment later, the Jade Pendant in Chen Ye’s hand slightly trembled, a Divine Thought entered his sea of consciousness.
"An unexpected breach in the grand array at Moon Rhinoceros Lake District, allowing demon beasts to penetrate?"
Chen Ye put away the jade pendant, his face clouded with uncertainty.
The sect confirmed the unexpected breach in the grand array at Moon Rhinoceros Lake District and urged him to quickly provide support.
At the same time, it mentioned that many mortal towns and small markets in the interior had been attacked, leaving manpower stretched thin.
He was instructed to help drive out the demon beasts from these small markets if he had the capacity.
"Zhiwei, Qing Jun."
Chen Ye withdrew his gaze and looked at the two disciples beside him,
"The demon beasts below are mostly in the early to middle stages of Qi Cultivation, just right for your training. Qing Jun, you take the lead; Zhiwei, you provide support. I will cover you. Be careful and don’t underestimate the enemy. Also, do not let Demonic Qi invade your bodies!"
"Yes, Master!"
Upon hearing this, Qing Jun flipped her small hand, and the Xiaohan Sword was already in her grasp, its cyan sword light flickering.
The confidence from having just defeated Zhang Chuxi had not yet faded; it was the perfect time to test what she had learned!
Zhiwei, on the other hand, nodded calmly, her eyes swiftly analyzing the chaos below, quickly assessing the distribution and characteristics of the demon beasts:
"Only three demon beasts are at the late period of Qi Cultivation... Qing Jun and I can exterminate this group of beasts!"
Actually,
Chen Ye had never seen Zhiwei in action, but Zhiwei’s cultivation was far more diligent than Qing Jun’s.
Now, she was already at the eighth layer of Qi Cultivation.
It was just unknown how her actual magical battle abilities were.
"Go!"
Chen Ye gave a low shout, his sleeve brushed lightly, and the carriage door silently slid open.
Qing Jun, unable to contain herself, tapped her toes lightly, transforming into a streak of cyan light, directly targeting that late-period Qi Cultivation demon beast.
"Wretched creature! Watch my sword!"
With a brisk shout, Qing Jun’s wrist shook, and the Xiaohan Sword’s light surged, layer upon layer of cyan sword waves surged fiercely, crashing heavily against the Bone Spike Boar with immense force.
"Roar!"
The Bone Spike Boar, enraged by the sudden attack, abandoned its prey on the ground, its crimson eyes locked onto Qing Jun, its body’s bone spikes stood upright, wrapped in black Qi, charging at Qing Jun like cannonballs!
Boom!
Sword waves and bone spike black Qi collided fiercely, the airwaves rolled, clearing all the surrounding smoke and rubble.
The Bone Spike Boar was shaken back several steps, several bone spikes on its body snapped, blood gushed out, it was already heavily injured,
but its ferocity intensified, roaring as it charged again.
"Ah..."
Qing Jun was caught off guard for a moment.
She did not expect the demon beast to make such a strike, even after being seriously injured, it would still attack her fearlessly.
Fortunately, she reacted quickly, the silver light of the Celestial Light Seal flashed on the Xiaohan Sword, the power of the sword momentum suddenly increased, cleaving it in half instantly, and blood rained down.
"Blood..."
The little girl was somewhat dumbfounded, not out of fear but out of novelty.
This was her first time witnessing such a bloody scene.
"Roar!"
Two more demon beasts, attracted by Qing Jun’s sharp sword light, roared and closed in.
One was a giant lizard covered in rock-like scales and the other was a strange bird with wings, spewing poisonous mist from its mouth.
Both were in the late period of Qi Cultivation!
Qing Jun’s pressure suddenly increased.
Her petite figure seemed particularly small under the encirclement of these two colossal creatures, but the sword light became even more dazzling.
"Senior Sister!" Qing Jun shouted.
No need for many words, Zhiwei understood instinctively.
Canchen transformed into a glimpse, a line of cold light suddenly appeared!
Boom!
It turned out to be the Thunderbolt of the fifth layer of the Cyan Wave Sword!
Under this sword, filthy blood splattered, the strange bird’s head rolled off, and its massive body crashed to the ground.
Qing Jun sighed with slight relief, freeing up her hand.
She swiftly formed two seals, one to shatter and the other to break clouds, imprinting them successively on the giant lizard’s heavy scales.
Bam!
The scales shattered, revealing the fresh red flesh underneath, the giant lizard roared in wails, wildly furious.
Though its defense was astounding, these two True Seals easily tore through it!
"Canchen, go!"
Zhiwei shouted clearly.
Canchen glided in a flash, like a star falling from nine heavens, piercing through the shattered scales, instantly mangling its internal organs!
"Roar——!"
The giant lizard let out a piercing wail of extreme agony, its massive body fell with a loud crash, raising a cloud of dust into the sky.
With this, the three most troublesome demons of the late period of Qi Cultivation were all subdued!
"Senior Sister, you’re amazing!" Qing Jun said with a beaming smile of admiration.
Zhiwei shook her head: "It’s not over yet."
"Alright!"
Qing Jun’s fighting spirit blazed, holding her flying sword, she actively charged into the group of demon creatures.
