Chapter 42: Chapter 42 Demon Cave

After a brief preparation, Lu Yuanshan gathered three disciples, namely Song Minghui, Zhang Nianchuan, and Lin Han.

Recently, these three have all completed tasks for the sect.

Song Minghui and Zhang Nianchuan assisted Lu Zhiwei in going to Little Stone Town to clear out the Tree Cave Foxes. That battle was a great success.

Lin Han, on the other hand, went to Little Cloud Lake with Lu Xuelian and others to capture Cyan-tailed Spirit Fish, also returning victorious.

With these three accompanying Lu Changfeng, their strengths are worth noting, all above the fifth layer of Qi Cultivation, making Lu Yuanshan’s mind a little more at ease.

"Let’s set out together."

The disciples accompanying him were all assembled; seeing it was Song Minghui, Zhang Nianchuan, and Lin Han, Lu Changfeng made a large gesture.

The four swiftly descended the mountain and headed directly toward Tide Sound Town.

Over the two hundred mile journey, the four unleashed the Wind Manipulation Technique to travel at full speed, reaching in just a little over one hour.

Meanwhile, Lu Ping was still in the sect.

It wasn’t that he changed his mind about going; it was his consciousness body’s slow movement speed. By the time he floated to Tide Sound Town, it would be too late.

So there’s no need to rush.

The system has a [Instant Transmission] function.

Xuu Yi was already in Tide Sound Town, and Lu Ping only needed to spend 5 Reputation Points to instantly transmit to Xuu Yi’s side.

That’s the plan.

Execution followed; Lu Ping did exactly that.

After checking Xuu Yi’s personal attribute information, found his location was in Tide Sound Town, Lu Ping had no hesitation left.

Reputation Points deducted by 5, Lu Ping activated [Instant Transmission], choosing Xuu Yi as the destination.

In an instant, his entire body suddenly twisted and, with a flash, he felt the world spin around him.

When his vision returned, Lu Ping discovered he was already in a different place, transmitted to within ten meters of Xuu Yi in Tide Sound Town.

...

Tide Sound Town was established on the southern bank of a tributary of Lingxi. This tributary flows swiftly, emitting sounds akin to tides, hence the name.

Currently, there is no government office in Tide Sound Town, nor a prefect overseeing it, leaving the residents to rely on mutual supervision, creating their own rules.

It could be considered an isolated paradise.

But now there’s a demon cultivator wreaking havoc in the town—without the court’s protection, the peace has been shattered.

With no cultivator overseeing it, only Xuu Yi resides here; dealing with the demon cultivator depends solely on him.

Now, Lu Changfeng and his group have arrived.

Upon entering the town, they noticed the atmosphere was strange; most of the townsfolk were hiding in their homes, doors tightly shut.

Clearly, rumors of the demon cultivator’s presence have spread, instilling fear in them.

Those who could escape have fled to seek refuge, while the remaining elderly, women, and children can only pray and hide for safety.

Feeling the oppressive, fearful ambience in the town, Lu Changfeng’s group immediately searched the area, trying to locate signs of the demon cultivator for an early elimination.

Yet after a round, no traces were found.

The demon cultivator is hiding deeply after being wounded, not daring to surface for now.

Without finding the demon cultivator, they chose to first meet with Xuu Yi.

Declaring their identities as cultivators from Cyan Mountain Sect, they inquired of the local villagers and learned of Xuu Yi’s whereabouts, arriving at a pond where Xuu Yi was recovering.

"Elder, why have you come?"

"Please have a seat."

Upon entering, Lu Changfeng’s group saw Xuu Yi sitting cross-legged on a blanket, greeting them courteously.

Lu Ping had been waiting for quite some time, having already explored Tide Sound Town thoroughly; he too had not discovered any sign of the demon cultivator, causing some frustration.

The system still showed an experiential mission, indicating the demon cultivator should still be in Tide Sound Town.

Are demon cultivators this good at hiding?

"How’s your injury?"

Lu Changfeng cut to the chase, scrutinizing Xuu Yi, able to clearly smell the scent of blood and herbs on Xuu Yi.

"Nothing serious, a few days of recovery should do it."

Xuu Yi replied.

"Tell us about the demon cultivator."

"Elder, how did you know a demon cultivator appeared in the town?"

Injuries are hard to hide; anyone with sharp eyes can see them, but how did Elder Lu know there’s a demon cultivator active in Tide Sound Town?

He intended to request aid from the sect, sending fellow disciples to eliminate the demon cultivator, but he hadn’t started messaging yet.

The elder came with the disciples.

The sect’s information is astonishingly on point.

"I heard from the Sect Leader there’s a demon cultivator here, so came by."

"I see."

Xuu Yi was momentarily stunned, curious how the Sect Leader knew, but no longer focused on the query, choosing not to delve further.

During the encounter, Xuu Yi explained the situation of the demon cultivator to Lu Changfeng and the others. The demon cultivator appearing in Tide Sound Town, so far, seems to be a lone individual.

At least, Xuu Yi had only discovered one. There might be other demon cultivators colluding, hiding near Tide Sound Town.

From the magical combat situation, the opponent’s strength was at Qi Cultivation Seventh Level, possessing a Demonic Dao Magical Artifact, Seven Evils Ghost Yin Banner.

The chaos here, slaughtering mortals, aimed at extracting mortal spirits to refine the Seven Evils Ghost Yin Banner.

"Seven Evils Ghost Yin Banner, wasn’t this a type of Demonic Dao Magical Artifact once used by Blood Demon Ancestor?"

Upon hearing about the Seven Evils Ghost Yin Banner, Song Minghui immediately felt apprehensive.

The Seven Evils Ghost Yin Banner is an extremely vicious Demonic Dao Magical Artifact requiring the extraction of a large amount of mortal spirits for refining.

Once refined, this evil demon treasure can foster seven late-stage Qi Cultivation evil ghosts to aid in battle, capable of continuously absorbing more spirits to advance.

Just at Tier One level, the Seven Evils Ghost Yin Banner can invoke trepidation in late-stage Qi Cultivation cultivators.

When refined to its limit, it can advance to a higher tier Nine Evils Ghost Yin Banner. This level of Demonic Dao Magical Artifact, with the souls within the banner, possesses Golden Core level combat power, compelling even late-stage Golden Core cultivators to retreat.

Back then, during the magical chaos in Lushan County, Blood Demon Ancestor of the Three Demon Venerables utilized a Tier Three Nine Evils Ghost Yin Banner to breach Cyan Mountain Sect’s Tier Four Sect Protection Array, Li Fire Celestial Ruins Array, attacking Cyan Mountain Sect.

When the Tier Three demon treasure emerged, combined with Blood Demon Ancestor’s Golden Core cultivation, it instantly devastated half of Cyan Mountain Sect.

Numerous Cyan Mountain Sect disciples were devoured by evil ghosts, resulting in a scene resembling a hellish purgatory.

Afterward, four Golden Core Ancestors from Dubhe Institute arrived together, using Immortal Dao Treasure Vast Heaven Mirror in a battle against demon cultivators, killing Rakshasa Ghost Lord and Celestial Corpse Daoist among the Three Demon Venerables, blood shedding over Cyan Lotus Mountain.

Blood Demon Ancestor forfeited his cultivation, abandoning the Tier Three Demonic Dao Nine Evils Ghost Yin Banner to narrowly escape, fleeing beyond Lingxi State never daring to emerge, nor daring to step into Chu Kingdom again.

"Seven Evils Ghost Yin Banner is a unique artifact of Blood Demon Ancestor’s lineage. How could such an evil demon artifact appear in Tide Sound Town?"

Zhang Nianchuan furrowed his brows, boldly speculating: "Could it be that this demon cultivator is from Qi Kingdom’s Demon Cave, a disciple of Blood Demon Ancestor’s lineage?"
