Chapter 18: Black Mountain Sect
"I don't understand military tactics or play politics. In this situation, I think we should just create chaos and upheaval," Qi Yuan expressed his peculiar opinion.
"I'll see if I can recruit some underlings in the Yi Guan Forbidden Zone to help you," he said after chatting with Jin Li for a while before logging out of the game.
The Yi Guan demons were difficult to deal with during the day. He had to wait until night to confront them. Spending too much time in the game took a toll on his mental energy, so Qi Yuan didn't stay in the game world for too long.
"I need to change my routine," Qi Yuan thought. "For the time being, I should play the game at night and rest during the day."
"I need to speed up my progress and clear the game. Maybe then I can collect all the fragments of the Heavenly Dao. According to the Heavenly Dao Foundation Theory, the Heavenly Dao is the best spiritual material for foundation building. If I build my foundation with the Heavenly Dao, I'll be the top disciple among the Five Peaks!"
With these thoughts, Qi Yuan said, "It's still early; I should go walk my blade."
"Recently, I need to walk it more frequently. It feels like it's about to develop a mind of its own."
"Will it develop intelligence in about a month? Why so early? Could it be related to my insight into the Heavenly Dao Foundation?"
As Qi Yuan walked with his ordinary iron kitchen knife, he pondered, "I wonder if, once it has developed intelligence, I can use it to kill a Yuan Dan master."
He looked forward to it.
He had modified the Spirit Refining Technique for a long time. The blade he was cultivating would undoubtedly be extraordinary.
In the short term, he couldn't break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, so his power couldn't change significantly. But the blade could give him extraordinary strength.
Qi Yuan wandered leisurely on the road of the Shen Guang Sect.
At this time, a group of disciples in black tight-fitting outfits hurried past. These disciples were from the Shen Guang Sect's Jin Guang Hall.
Jin Guang Hall was the law enforcement hall of the Shen Guang Sect, dealing with internal and external matters. These disciples were rushing outside the mountain gate, clearly because something urgent had happened.
However, when they saw Qi Yuan, the disciples from Jin Guang Hall stopped. "Greetings, Senior Brother."
Qi Yuan looked at the law enforcement disciples of Jin Guang Hall, especially the leader, and nodded. "No need for formalities, you all hurry along."
"Thank you, Senior Brother," replied the leader, Zheng Jianghe, and then the group hurriedly left.
Qi Yuan was quite familiar with Zheng Jianghe. Due to his own... unusual behavior, he had been taken to Jin Guang Hall several times and had become acquainted with Zheng Jianghe.
Watching Zheng Jianghe's back, a stream of words appeared in Qi Yuan's mind.
【This is a righteous cultivator who, at this moment, only wants to kill.】
"Then you have to endorse it for me," Qi Yuan said, glancing at Jiang Lingsu. Although she was young, her appearance and temperament were outstanding, far surpassing the so-called '98 Flowers' and '00 Flowers' of his previous life.
"Endorse?" Jiang Lingsu didn't understand.
But the topic didn't continue, as Qi Yuan had to start his game grind.
At night, Qi Yuan entered the game.
The Yi Guan Forbidden Zone was silent.
Suddenly, a pale arm reached out from the soil.
Qi Yuan was online.
He wielded a large sword and continued to sneak around. Before long, he arrived at a forest.
Clothes hung from the trees, and if one didn't look closely, they might think it was a bunch of corpses.
Qi Yuan chose a spot with fewer Yi Guan demons. He raised his large sword and stayed vigilant, watching his surroundings.
"Indeed, at night, their senses are significantly dulled, and their connection weakens. How much will it weaken?"
During the day, if he appeared so blatantly with his large sword, the Yi Guan demons would have noticed him long ago. But now, they hadn't.
This confirmed that their senses were indeed dulled at night.
Qi Yuan approached and stabbed a bellyband with his large sword. The bellyband shattered instantly.
He looked around; the other Yi Guan demons hanging on the trees didn't react.
Qi Yuan smiled. "Does this mean I can quietly kill all the Yi Guan demons in one night?"
With this thought, he moved on to the next Yi Guan demon and repeated the process.
Experience +200.
He wielded the large sword, killing with ease. However, after killing the thirtieth Yi Guan demon, the remaining demons on the trees finally reacted, waking up one after another.
But unlike the organized response during the day, they seemed chaotic and disoriented at night.
"Hunting time!" Qi Yuan thought, seeing this as his chance.
