This Is Not the Female Demon Lord I Remembered

Chapter 274: Chapter 265: Good Brother, You Must Not Die!

"Master, is it okay to just use one sword strike?"

Upon hearing that his master’s single sword strike was aimed directly at the enemy’s main camp, Liang Yi couldn’t help but marvel internally at how terrifying cultivation was—resorting to slashing someone over the internet at the slightest disagreement.

"Although your teacher is confident, I am not arrogant. Two cultivators of the same peak level as your teacher—using just one sword strike is indeed insufficient. But using two sword strikes directly might make them alert, so I resorted to a sword-within-a-sword tactic and caught them off guard." Chen Hua’s lips curled into a slight smile.

Seeing Chen Hua smile so cheerfully, Liang Yi and Su Youyi exchanged a look; surely, for someone like their master who could even freeload meals from other sects, notions like the dignity of the strong do not exist.

Meanwhile, Tian Anyu and Gao Wojiu looked disheveled and frustrated.

"This Chen Hua is such a cunning villain!" Gao Wojiu spat out a mouthful of blood angrily—damn it, he even bit his own lip.

He is truly a disgrace to the strong. Daoist practitioners like Su Jianyi from Taoist Sect and Han Ye, who perfected his body refinement to the extreme, were illustrious figures. Each of their battles was fought with full effort, openly and honorably, disdaining any deceptive tricks. They only fought with straightforward sword strikes and punches.

Regardless of the techniques used against them, they were counteracted by a single sword strike or a punch, rightly and honorably.

But this Chen Hua was behaving just like the most cunning Daoist Immortal, lacking any dignity of the strong, attacking however he found convenient, without regard for others’ views.

"In the end, you were careless." Tian Anyu rubbed his right wrist and brushed off the dust in the air, his tone neither salty nor bland. Although he had noticed that sword strike, he couldn’t intercept it in time.

Though they weren’t injured, getting covered in dust was inevitable.

"Hmph, I was careless this time, but next time I will definitely get back at him," Gao Wojiu said with an aggrieved expression, his sentiment not easily quelled.

Tian Anyu curled his lip—speak for yourself, why are you bringing your horse into this but not confronting Chen Hua head-on right now?

"Enough talk, this place is already compromised, prepare to change locations," Tian Anyu stated. He had some complaints about Gao Wojiu; in the end, whether it was achieving immortality or colluding with the Abyss, all he wanted was for the Devouring Spirit Sect to dominate the Mystical Mechanism Continent.

The Abyss had to be released, but not now. However, Gao Wojiu’s primary goal was releasing the Abyss, sidelining both the development of the Devouring Spirit Sect and Tian Anyu’s own cultivation.

Now that the Immortal Path was just reconnected and even he was rushing to climb even higher steps, Gao Wojiu’s Eighth Realm was because his limit is the Eighth Realm, but Tian Anyu is far from reaching his limit. To gain a higher status and say before the Abyss, he must push himself to his full potential.

Same goes for Chen Hua, after such a short time since their last confrontation, Chen Hua had achieved such terrifying progress. Compared to Liang Yi, Tian Anyu considers Chen Hua to be the number one threat to the Abyss.

Ignoring Gao Wojiu, Tian Anyu directly ordered the White Tiger and the Black Tortoise to gather their things and everyone to move immediately, aiming to evacuate before Chen Hua’s arrival.

But in fact, Chen Hua didn’t do so.

He knew the enemy’s lair, and the enemy knew he knew; hence, moving was a given. The enemy thought he would lead a direct surprise attack, but knowing they would quickly relocate, he decided not to go there.

At this moment, Liang Yi had already returned near Youdao Mountain with his master, selecting a location for Purple Cloud Sect’s mountain gate, on a Spirit Mountain still some distance from Youdao Mountain.

But just as Liang Yi was about to do something, a long-missed prompt sound rang.

"Ding! Congratulations on triggering the task [Abyssal Miasma]!"

[Task prompt: The Abyss Seal has been through two epochs, and although it has been somewhat repaired, some loopholes have appeared due to the relentless assaults from the Abyss. The Zen Sect is unable to cope, allowing some remnants of the Abyss to escape. The Prince of Xuanzhou Immortal Dynasty, Zhou Wudao, accidentally encountered the Abyss Envoy, Gao Wojiuigung, and was severely injured into a coma by him, and Gao Wojiu also left something on Zhou Wudao.]

[Task Requirement: Clarify the arrangements made by Gao Wojiu and delay the arrival of the Abyss]

[Task Completion: 0%]

[Task Rewards: 3,500,000 Experience, partial control over Xuanzhou Immortal Dynasty’s black market, one portion of Shu Yue Qing Ming Spiritual Liquid, Xuanzhou Immortal Dynasty favorability +300,]

"Finally, a task."

"Good brother, for the sake of my task, you mustn’t die."

"Control over the black market? Good heavens, the Immortal Dynasty is really lavish, giving away mines instead of merely sending money," Liang Yi wiped away the non-existent drool. With this power, he could be considered a shareholder of the black market, sharing in any profits made; he would truly become a major player.

"Shu Yue Qing Ming Spiritual Liquid?" Liang Yi cocked his head, thinking hard but couldn’t figure out what it was, having never heard of it before.

But Liang Yi wasn’t panicked; what he didn’t know, someone else would.

"Master!"

It was only after consulting an external help that Liang Yi learned that Shu Yue Qing Ming Spiritual Liquid was used for repairing objects.

As long as the object you wanted to repair wasn’t completely shattered into invisible ashes, it could be repaired with this liquid. According to his master, Chen Hua, this involves the range of laws, truly a first-grade Spiritual Liquid.

During a certain epoch, a Great Cultivator from the Inner Imperial Palace, after a heart-stopping battle in a Secret Realm, outshined everyone and seized the Shu Yue Qing Ming Spiritual Liquid, immediately repairing an object he had broken countless years ago. Other Cultivators present at the time exclaimed "Expert"!

You should know, repairing isn’t as simple as just growing it back. For higher Realm Cultivators, injuries aren’t scary, nor is missing arms or legs, as long as you can find the severed limbs to reattach them. The scary part is if you can’t find them after they’re severed.

A Seventh Realm Cultivator with all other parts intact, only his arm was severed. If regenerated, that arm would only restore to barely the strength of Fourth Realm.

It’s impossible to exhibit the power of the Seventh Realm; it would require time-consuming and strenuous efforts to nurture it back.

Moreover, the higher the Realm or those specialized in Body Refinement, the more difficult it is to recover from such injuries. Hence, it shocked the world when the object that Great Inner Cultivator repaired matched his Realm.

Later, a very few Cultivators also obtained the Shu Yue Qing Ming Spiritual Liquid; whether it was Magical Treasures or limbs, or even if they were severely wounded and near death, a sip could save their lives.

After listening, Liang Yi was thoughtful; this thing was like a panacea. He wasn’t missing anything, but that broken sword of his was missing quite a lot, wondering if this would work.

Holding these concerns, he shelved this task for now, deciding to wait until after his venture into the Complete Heaven Sect. With Immortal Dynasty’s extensive family businesses and countless exotic treasures, there was no way Zhou Wudao could die so easily, right?

"Spit, spit, spit, he must die that easily," Liang Yi thought and quickly set a reverse flag, hoping Zhou Wudao wouldn’t be "blessed" to death by him.

Currently, only he and his master were on this Spirit Mountain; to prevent people from Purple Cloud Sect from idly coming near Youdao Mountain, his junior sister and Elder Ju have already gone back to reorganize the arrays of Youdao Mountain.

Elder Zi, summoned by Liang Yi, walked out from the Taihua Xi Yi Bell, surveying the uninhabited Spirit Mountain.

"Not bad, picturesque scenery, serene terrain, abundant spiritual energy," spotted Elder Zi, nodding in satisfaction.

As Purple Cloud Sect possesses its own mountain, they weren’t particularly particular about the location; the primary focus was on fengshui and terrain, which was what Elder Zi valued.

Although this place seemed far from Youdao Mountain, the terrain subtly connected them. If either side needed help, they could directly transition through the earth’s energy, which was quite convenient.

Moreover, due to the connected terrain with Youdao Mountain, the surrounding spiritual energy was exceptionally rich; otherwise, this unclaimed Spirit Mountain wouldn’t have formed.

However, Elder Zi wasn’t concerned; after all, despite Purple Cloud Sect’s decline, its legacy was still formidable. With several Spirit Veins still available, burying them in the earth would turn any place into a land filled with floating immortal essence.

"Is Purple Cloud Sect just left with you, Elder Zi? Can you hold it?" Chen Hua suddenly asked a critical question while standing aside.

To reopen the mountain gate and accept disciples, manpower, material resources, and financial resources are essential. Not to mention material and financial resources, buying a thousand or eight hundred Taoist Sects is still simple for Purple Cloud Sect.

However, it seemed like there was a shortage of manpower; having only one person wasn’t impossible since Elder Zi was a practitioner of the Eighth Realm and could transform into thousands, but it would be quite straining.

Liang Yi also had some doubts; what if new disciples entered the sect and there wasn’t even an attractive female instructor, let alone if the whole sect was just an old man of unknown age, wouldn’t that cause an uproar on the spot?

"Rest assured, I have strategies for these issues, and of course, the sect isn’t just comprised of me alone," Elder Zi stroked his scant beard and cheerfully replied. "Let me first take care of this mountain."

Chen Hua folded his arms, watching with interest as Elder Zi made his move.

He had been to the site of the old Purple Cloud Sect, encountering no anomalies at the time, merely following the process and obtaining a pretty good Sword Technique. As for other core inheritances, he had only heard of them.

Now that the former Sect Leader of Purple Cloud Sect was personally taking action, it was an excellent opportunity for him to glimpse the entirety of Purple Cloud Sect’s Cultivation Techniques, which might even bring him some inspiration.
