Han Ye had nearly perfected the attribute of ‘Sword Art Mastery’. With his top-level swordsmanship and incredible speed, there was no way the Qi Cultivation Realm and Foundation Establishment Realm demonic disciples could escape from under his watchful eye.
Not only had he killed the Evil Tiger Jiang Kui and nine Foundation Establishment Realm demonic disciples, he also did not let go of the remaining Qi Cultivation Realm demonic leftovers who had escaped from the prison cart.
These were all considered examination points, crucial in determining whether he could be promoted to a direct disciple.
When the Dragon Sparrow Sect assigned the task, they only allocated ten assessment points for demonic disciples below the Foundation Establishment? Han Ye speculated that this was because higher-ranked demon cultivators posed a greater threat, while lower-ranked ones were only a disorderly mob, prompting the ranking.
Luckily, eliminating a Golden Core Realm demon cultivator would award him five hundred assessment points.
On this trip, before even starting the mission, he had already earned a thousand evaluation points. He now had accumulated four thousand points and was short of three thousand; he should have enough.
Han Ye glanced at the Golden-spotted Giant Tiger not far away, commanding the Saber-toothed White Tiger next to him:
“Go.”
This Heavenly Thunder Swift Tiger was a Spirit Beast he had tamed during his mission, which now could be put to good use.
Both being Spirit Beasts, the Golden-spotted Giant Tiger obviously lost momentum. Seeing the larger and more ferocious Heavenly Thunder Swift Tiger, its fur emitting a crackling sound like thunder, it whimpered.
“Afraid? That makes things easier.”
Han Ye withdrew a yellow talisman from his storage ring.
“Signing this Beast Taming Talisman indicates another Spirit Beast has been added to my command.”
Liang Lian jumped down from the back of the Golden-spotted Giant Tiger and quickly helped Pang Kong who was trembling from loss of blood and had a pale face.
At the same time, he was watching the robed youth standing in the distance with curiosity. His heart was filled with awe.
Pang Kong stared at Han Ye with trembling lips: “He…he was able to defeat dozens of demonic disciples single-handedly. Even the Joint Attack Array couldn’t hurt him… He doesn’t seem very old, which sect’s disciple is he?”
With a hollow gaze, Han Ye looked at the pale-faced Pang Kong, took out an elixir, waved his hand grandly, and stuffed a pill into Pang Kong’s mouth.
A miraculous thing happened. The other party’s face visibly began to flush, even the dirty blood on his arm started to crust over. It seemed his life had been saved.
Han Ye then turned his attention to the corpses of the nine evil path Foundation Establishment disciples and Jiang Kui. He searched their bodies and found a large number of cultivation resources, including elixirs, middle and lower grade magical artifacts, Spirit Stones, gold and silver, and Array Base Jade Stones.
Han Ye placed the ten Array Base Jade Stones together and nodded slightly: “Though these demon cultivators are impoverished, taking this set of Array Base Jade Stones is worth tens of thousands of Spirit Stones.”
The Array Base Jade Stones held by Jiang Kui and the nine Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators were of the best quality, and could form a Joint Attack Array capable of trapping a late-stage Golden Core cultivator.
The quality of the Array Base Jade Stones held by the Qi Cultivation Realm demon cultivators were significantly of lower quality. Even if they were added together, their value would not match that of the ten Array Base Jade Stones.
Impressed by the formidable cultivation and superior appearance of the white-robed youth, Liang Lian, full of curiosity, went over to the youth cautiously and bowed politely, saying earnestly:
“Former Prefect of Xiangnan Prefecture, Liang Lian, was escorting demon cultivators on his way to take office in the Capital City. May I know your honorable name?”
Han Ye turned his body and glanced at the man. The moment he saw him, a faint smile flashed across his face, “Prefect Liang, don’t you recognize me?”
“You are…”
Liang Lian was momentarily stunned, his eyes full of disbelief.
“You are Han Ye!”
Only after repeatedly confirming and closely looking at the still rugged and extremely masculine face, did he truly confirm that the person in front of him was indeed Han Ye.
He had not expected that the young tenant farmer of the past had now become a being capable of chopping down the Golden Core!
“It is me.”
Han Ye nodded and shifted his gaze to the corpses of the soldiers on the ground, and said in a deep voice, “This request from Fufeng State was initiated by you, right?”
Liang Lian sighed slightly, “Alas… yes, unfortunately, they were killed before reaching Fufeng State.”
“This…”
Pang Kong was surprised to see Prefect Liang knew this young man. Liang Lian immediately introduced him, “This Immortal was an old acquaintance of mine. He is a distinguished member of the Dragon Sparrow Sect in Qingyun State.”
Upon hearing this, Pang Kong’s expression became clear, and his eyes were filled with more respect when looking at Han Ye.
In the territory of Great Zhou’s Twenty-Four States, the Dragon Sparrow Sect was a top-tier power, like a local overlord in their eyes. It was a sect that could rival the Ten Demonic Sects and the Heavenly Demon Sect.
The power of the sects in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were above the various countries. Even, to some extent, the position of the rulers of some nations was influenced by the local sects.
After witnessing so much on his journey, Han Ye was slightly curious upon seeing that the Seven Evils Sect’s demon cultivators were still running rampant around Jingji. He asked doubtfully, “Does the alliance between the Demonic Sect and the Demonic Cult really have such a great effect? What are they plotting?”
From what he had observed, the disciples of the imperial court alone were not enough to suppress the demon cultivators in the human world.
More sect disciples would have to step in to achieve that.
“You’re heading to Dragon City to take office, right? This mission is still valid, isn’t it?”
Han Ye asked.
Liang Lian was stunned for a moment, then nodded lightly, “Of course it is valid.”
“Good..”
