Chapter 897: Heretical Cultivation Technique
ctly summoned a wind element magic array, trapping the Saint Knight's three-headed dog within it and unleashing the strongest attack.Right after the blacksmith, came Lian Jia's Great Mage and Holy Kni...After the whirlwind, Feng's hind leg kicked off, performing a somersault in mid-air. When he landed, he was already a second-order black tiger, two meters long and one meter five tall. He looked majestic with his fierce eyes staring at Zhou An's direction, revealing his sharp teeth.
After Lian Ri killed Zhou Quan, he didn't dispose of the body. After all, he couldn't use spiritual energy to burn it, and they wouldn't bury him either. Not even flogging the corpse was an act of kindness on their part. This Zhou Quan hadn't spared any female cultivators harm.
In this situation, with the complete corpse lying on the ground for so long, no one bothered to take care of it. What's more, with his storage ring already in Lian Yi's possession, there was even less incentive for anyone to show interest.
Zhou An immediately knew that his younger brother wasn't freshly dead. With a sweep of his divine sense, he confirmed it - the brother had been dead for at least two days. He then noticed the cultivators gathered in the front courtyard. He disregarded his fallen brother and, with a flash of his figure, arrived at the entrance of the courtyard.
"You're all going to be buried with my brother today."
Zhou An finally ripped off the mask from his face, his contorted visage roaring in fury.
"Bah! You heretical cultivator, see who's burying whom today!"
The irritable cultivator immediately retorted, "Right now that our spiritual energy is unsealed, who will die remains to be seen."
Zhou An also noticed that the courtyard's formation had been broken. These cultivators hadn't fully recovered yet. When these forty or so cultivators were all restored, he truly wouldn't be a match for them. Therefore, he didn't say anything more. His wrist flipped, and a spirit sword was already in his hand. He swung the sword toward the crowd.
As the sword light fell, Lian Ri shimmered and vanished from the battlefield for a moment. However, she didn't let the whirlwind leave the battlefield. Instead, she instructed him through divine consciousness to assist the cultivators of Wu Yun Zong in capturing Zhou An.
She took out a comprehensive storage ring from her sleeve, erased the divine sense imprint on its surface, scanned the contents inside, and then took out a jade key.
There was space distortion on top of the jade key. She guessed that the Zhou brothers controlled the teleportation array with this jade key, pulling all five of them into this place. Since they could bring them in, they could definitely send them out.
Liàn Yī was preparing to use the jade key to look for the teleportation formation. Sūn Lánlán had been struck by Zhōu n's sword energy and sent flying into the second courtyard. Angrily, she got up and saw Liàn Yī's figure. Seeing that she couldn't intervene in the fight in the front yard, she went after Liàn Yī.
"Elaine, where are you going"
"Find a teleportation array."
"
I'm with you.
"
The ripples nodded, not refusing. It's a good thing to have one more person looking for them.
This time, guided by the Jade Key, and with both of them having recovered their divine consciousness suppressed in the sea of awareness, they quickly found the teleportation array. It was located at the back of the main hall in the third courtyard, where there were traces of spatial fluctuations.
"There seems to be a prohibition here."
Sun Lanlan used her divine sense to probe around, and made a discovery. She was just about to break the prohibition when she was stopped by ripples.
"First, use the formation to seal off this area. If we break the prohibition, we'll alert Zhou An. He definitely has a jade key as well. If he uses this formation to escape and destroys the other side's formation, we'll be in trouble."
"My senior sister makes a good point."
Sun Lanlan rummaged through her storage bag and found an isolation array disk. She immediately set it up to encircle the area.
"You stay here and keep watch, I'll go to the front yard and see what's going on."
Liàn Yī placed the jade key into her storage bracelet and turned to go to the front yard.
As soon as she stepped out of the main hall, a dark figure flew towards her. She raised an eyebrow and with a flick of her wrist, the deadly silk shot out, instantly piercing the opponent's dantian.
"Pui!" Zhou An, who was already severely injured, spat out a mouthful of blood. His appearance instantly began to age, and the next moment ripples grabbed him with its hands, then pressed its palm against his head and started searching his soul.
Those who arrived late, like Qiao Hao and the other cultivators, saw Lian Ri's actions and couldn't help but twitch their mouths. This female cultivator sure knew how to make a statement.
The whirlwind leaped and stood beside the ripples, shaking its tail and glared at the surrounding cultivators with a menacing look. It seemed to say, "If you dare make a move, don't blame me for being rude."
The ripples' divine consciousness far surpassed her own cultivation level, already close to the Yuanying stage. So, with soul searching, it only took less than three breaths for her to know about the Zhou brothers' affairs.
With a flick of her hand, Lian Ri tossed Zhou An aside, who was already dazed and confused. She then slowly spoke:
The Zhou brothers were led astray by evil cultivators and cultivated a sinister technique that allowed them to absorb the cultivation of their partners through dual cultivation. Even if their partner was more powerful, they would be powerless to resist.
They had been lurking in Bianxia City for over fifty years. Through evil cultivation, they raised their cultivation to the Qi Condensation stage. Their ambition grew larger and larger, and the two of them set their sights on Qi Condensation cultivators. However, this place was remote, and high-level cultivators rarely came here. So, they used the excuse of a missing cultivator to post a wanted notice, luring everyone here.
After both of their cultivations reached the mid-foundation period, these cultivators who accepted missions were no longer able to meet their needs. They then set their sights on our Wuyun Sect, reporting the disappearance of cultivators here to the sect and requesting that the sect send people to help deal with it.
After the two cultivators who took on missions before disappeared, the sect paid close attention to the matter and arranged for our team to come and investigate.
As soon as our squad entered the city, this idiot noticed us. He and his fellow cultivators saw that my cultivation and Senior Joe's could help them break through to the Golden Core stage. They were planning to abandon the city after forming their Golden Cores and become wandering cultivators.
The ripples succinctly explained the ins and outs of the situation.
"What your friend means is that all the people who went missing before..."
Before, the male cultivator who had proactively inquired about Lianyi’s whereabouts looked pained and wanted to say something more, but he couldn't bring himself to utter the latter half of his sentence.
They have all perished.
The ripples finished his words.
The man, upon hearing this, immediately flashed beside Zhou An and slapped the top of his head with a palm, completely obliterating him. Even if the other party had become an idiot, he wouldn't allow this scumbag to live.
The opponent's soul was out of their body, and they looked foolish. This male cultivator casually strangled them.
None of the surviving monks were stopped, except for the lone monk. All the others had partners killed by the Zhou brothers.
Zhou An's storage ring was taken into Qiao Hao's hands. In front of everyone, he emptied the storage ring and did the first thing: destroying the jade slip inscribed with evil techniques. The remaining cultivation resources were then divided equally among them, as a form of compensation.
Although the fatal blow was dealt by Eileen, everyone participated in the killing and some of the resources here came from their storage bags.
The Zhou brothers were massacred, and they all wanted to leave as soon as possible. Lian Yi also told them about the teleportation array she and Sun Lanlan had discovered. Meanwhile, Qiao Hao found that jade key from Zhou An's storage ring. When the two jade keys met, they merged into one, emitting a faint halo.
"Jing, Dao-you, let's go take a look at the teleportation array first."
Joe immediately said.
"Okay."
Jingxing didn't refuse, he also wanted to leave here as soon as possible. He always felt that this place was not very stable.ould be done by himself."Yes, Elder Yue."For the next twenty-odd days, both Wujia Fort and Tianxia First Floor remained remarkably calm. Both sides believed they understood each other's plans and were...
