Chapter 418 – Reentry
Breaking through in battle was often a dangerous moment for cultivators. However, for the Shaman Cultivators, breaking through in battle was one of the easiest ways to advance.
Due to the fact that he had been practicing the Bloodthirsty Incantation, Jiu Li’s cultivation had always been suppressed to the second stage of the Power Witch Realm. Now, with the help of constantly killing fierce beasts and demon beasts, he had finally broken through the second stage and advanced to the third stage.
Even though there were more than ten corpses of ferocious beasts lying on the ground, and blood was flowing all over, Ning Bin’s expression was still solemn as he said: “There are more and more of these beasts, and their strength is also getting stronger and stronger, and they seem to have some intelligence as well. The Tuo Wu Shan is currently filled with ferocious beasts, and even the Sirius Gate has reduced their spying on us, hehe, this is also considered a pleasant surprise.”
Wu Shuo was currently acting as Protector for Jiu Li, while Yang Junping and Su Baozhang were inspecting the corpses of the fierce beasts.
Yang Junshan would naturally not tell the two of them that these so called “fierce beasts” had all instinctively cultivated demonic energy, they could already be considered Spirit Demon Beasts, but he still smiled: “This is not bad, at least the collection of various types of spirits will become much easier.”
In fact, in the past few years, the number of wild beasts in Yuzhou had increased greatly and their strength had become more and more powerful. News about them had already attracted the attention of many people, and there were even news that came from outside the Yuzhou.
After Jiu Li made a breakthrough, in order to speed up the process, the group had rushed over the moment they met a group of beasts. With the strength of the five Perfection of the cultivator s, as long as they were not realms of life s in person, there was nothing they could do to stop them.
After a few more days, the group finally arrived at the outskirts of Yu Cheng. The distance from here to Yu Cheng was only around a hundred li, and with the Hunchbacked Beast’s leg strength, it only took a few hours. However, at this time, everyone stopped because there were a dozen headless corpses below their feet.
“The corpses may have rotted, but their heads were chopped off. Clearly, it wasn’t the work of a horde of beasts. Someone else did.” Ning Bin looked at the corpse on the ground and frowned.
“But why did they take their heads off? Could it be that someone has a life or death grudge against this group of people?” Yang Junping casually asked.
“It’s not revenge, it’s Ouyang Peilin’s men.”
Yan Qinxi looked at the crowd, and the others obviously did not have any extensive information about the Tan Xi Sect, so she explained: “I believe everyone has heard about the internal strife and division of the Ouyang Family, Ouyang Peilin was originally the first grandson of the Ouyang Family, after killing the two clan members, he left the Ouyang Family, and then brought the clan members who followed him back to the outskirts of the Yu Cheng, these people call themselves’ devils’, after killing, not only absorbed the flesh and blood essence to cultivate their devilish techniques, but also used the corpse to refine devilish tools, it seems like these corpses are too numerous, so they only took away the most important heads, the others left behind in the wilderness.”
However, in the end, those who had gone back to the Ouyang Family had all become street rats. Looking at the current situation, it did not seem like what the rumors said, instead, it was that the group of Ouyang clansmen who called themselves the Demonic Cultivator were killing the cultivators surrounding the Yu Cheng.
“In the beginning, the cultivators of the Ouyang Family had been hiding and hiding, but later on, the situation changed. That Ouyang Peilin actually broke through once again in a short period of time, with strength comparable to the cultivators of the Gangli Accumulation Realm Realm. Furthermore, there was also a member of the Ouyang Family, Ouyang Yulin, who had also advanced to the realms of life.”
“With the two of them joining hands, coupled with the fact that the devil arts are extremely strange and hard to guard, it caused the two cultivators that surrounded them to suffer, especially the two remaining cultivators of the Ouyang Family, who were injured by two of their own families, to lose out to the powers around the Yu Cheng. As such, the powers around the Yu Cheng are no longer people that dare to provoke them, while the other large sects have been busy filling the void in the power gap left by the fall of the Heaven-Shaken Sect, they don’t care about the Yu Cheng anymore, so …”
Ning Bin said in disbelief, “Is this Demonic Cultivator really that powerful? It’s fine if you want to advance in a short period of time, but the Ouyang family’s two Spiritual Masters are veteran cultivators who had advanced to the realms of life for many years. How did they actually get injured by these two brothers?
Yan Qinxi shook her head: “Brother Ouyang has two magic tools in his hands, one of them is a blood alms bowl and the other is a white bone flag, their power is not inferior to spirit artifacts, especially that Ouyang Peilin, it is said that he has trained a divine ability that is not weaker than treasure arts, his strength is extremely tyrannical.”
Ning Bin exhaled, and said: “Looks like this Yu Cheng isn’t at peace either!”
Everyone’s heart became heavy, the rest of the journey continuing with the group of Demonic Cultivator as their topic. Everyone continued to ask Yan Qinxi for information about these Demonic Cultivator as well as details of their battles, in the future, they would be prepared to face each other.
He knew even more than Yan Qinxi about the habits of demon cultivators. It was just that for no reason at all, he could not act omniscient in front of everyone, and could only listen to the discussions of the crowd. Afterwards, he would once again try to once again use his basics to enlighten the people on the points they could make.
After Yang Junshan and the rest entered the Yu Cheng, they quickly attracted the attention of various powers in the Yu Cheng. After all, with the Great Miss Yan of the Tan Xi Sect at the head of the group, there were five people in the Great Perfection Stage out of eleven, three of them were in the late stage of the martial arts realm, and the remaining three were all in the baleful qi realm.
Most importantly, Yan Qinxi and Yang Junshan had caused quituckus in the Heaven-Shaking Peak last time, so not to mention killing Ouyang Zhenlin, the two of them actually escaped easily after entering the forbidden array and being surrounded.
After the incident, there were people who confirmed that the two had used the Earth Escape Glyph to escape, and those two had clearly come from the forbidden array. Otherwise, the two of them would not have escaped into the forbidden array under the pursuit of the Ouyang Family.
Yan Qinxi and Yang Junshan were able to break into the forbidden array, no one believed that since the two of them had only obtained two Earth Escape Glyph, there must be other treasures, which was undoubtedly exciting for the cultivators who were searching for treasures in the ruins of Heaven-Shaking Peak.
After that, the place where the two of them initially entered the forbidden array became the hottest spot for people to enter and exit. Amongst the tunnels that were opened up near the Heaven-Shaking Peak, the speed of this pathway was the fastest.
After everyone found a place to rest, they discovered that there were a few suspicious cultivators nearby. It was clear that they had been targeted after the last incident.
No one took it to heart. Forget about the strength of the masses, just based on the face of Young Miss Yan, who would dare to provoke the current Tan Xi Sect?
After settling down, everyone started to discuss when and where to enter the mountain. According to Yan Qinxi’s plan, it would naturally be from the place where she and Yang Junshan had entered the forbidden array last time.
Previously, the two of them had a great harvest after breaking through the fourth layer of restrictions. Now, everyone had broken through the sixth layer of restrictions. This was the most deep part of all the known tunnels, and who knew how many good things had been unearthed.
After Yan Qinxi finished speaking, everyone turned to look at Yang Junshan, but Yang Junshan did not notice at all, and did not know what he was thinking.
Yan Qinxi suddenly became impatient and kicked him: “I’m waiting for your opinion, speak!”
Oh, “Yang Junshan looked around, and seeing that everyone’s gaze was on him, he laughed:” Although I know some Dao of arrays, but one of your two families ihousand year old sect, and the other was a hundred year old tyrant, did they not bring one or two cultivators with them to the Heaven-Shaking Peak this time? Before I give my opinion, should your two families ask their own array masters for their opinions?
Yan Qinxi and Ning Bin looked at each other, and Yan Qinxi muttered: “I knew it!”
With that, he looked at Lu Jing who was behind him. Lu Jing “chuckled” and took a step forward: “Although I know formations, my attainments cannot compare to little friend Yang’s. In Xishan Village’s battle, it is said that little friend Yang used many formations to trap Xiong ZhangFeng, which allowed your father to successfully kill him.
Speaking to here, Lu Jing paused, and said: “Since little friend wants to hear my opinion, then I will be frank. In fact, I do not agree to continue following the route Junior Disciple Yan and Little Brother Yang took last time, and the reason is very simple, it is unknown how many people are following that path, and after the last incident, once we re-enter this passage, our team will immediately become the target of everyone.”
Lu Jing then looked at the three people of the Ning Family, Ning Qing stood out from behind Ning Bin and said: “I also agree with Fellow Lu’s suggestion, but if it’s not enough, how can I create a new path from there, and if I can go deep into the Heaven-Shaking Peak’s ruins, that is still a problem. My suggestion is to first go to Heaven-Shaking Peak’s grounds and check the area tomorrow, then chooslace to try.”
Yang Junshan clapped his hands, and said: “Then that’s it, tomorrow we will go to Heaven-Shaking Peak, I’m afraid there will be a lot of people waiting for us when the time comes!”
On the second day, Yang Junshan and the rest left the Yu Cheng and headed towards the Heaven-Shaking Peak. There were still many people following behind them, and there were even some who did not have any basic concealment, thus they followed behind the group of people.
“It seems like the factions that are in charge of these factions are already waiting for us, and they don’t even want to bother hiding the most basic of them all.” Yang Junshan smiled slightly.
Yan Qinxi snorted and said: “Then they will be disappointed, this time we will not leave from that direction.”
However, Ning Bin said: “Did you guys hear the news? There are many powers in Yu Cheng searching for traces of Heaven-Shaken Sect cultivators, whether it’s outside or outside. The news of Heaven-Shaken Sect sending people has already spread throughout the various powers, and everyone thinks that people from Heaven-Shaken Sect must have methods to easily enter and exit the forbidden array.”
