CHAPTER 152: CHAPTER 152: ROOTING OUT THE DEMON CULTIVATOR IN RUYI TOWER

Song Minghui was at the Seventh-Layer Qi Cultivation, and now without Zhao Xuanyi leading, the remaining two loose cultivators were only at the Third and Fourth Layers of Qi Cultivation, posing no threat to her.

In less than ten moves, Senior Sister Song disposed of the two loose cultivator remnants, severing their heads with one sword, blood splattering on Stone Mountain.

Afterwards, she utilized the Light Body Technique, following Zhang Nianchuan to pursue Zhao Xuanyi.

Chased by Song Minghui and Zhang Nianchuan, Zhao Xuanyi’s speed was slower than theirs, and he was soon caught up to, forced to activate the Black Ox Banner, and once again fight back.

After merely a dozen moves, the Black Ox Banner was sliced in half by Song Minghui’s sword, losing its spiritual power.

Zhang Nianchuan seized the opportunity, his Cyan Bamboo Sword swift as lightning, piercing Zhao Xuanyi’s throat in his terrified gaze.

The head marked with a scar rolled on the ground, completely lifeless.

The loose cultivators that had been entrenched in Shuangjiao Mountain for years were completely wiped out.

The battle at Shuangjiao Mountain came to a successful end.

During their clearing of the loose cultivators’ storage bags and collection of loot, Lu Ping on Cyan Lotus Mountain saw two system dialogue boxes appear.

[Doorway Affairs: Begging for rain and blessings for the people of Qingping Village, affairs completed]

[Completion Reward: Reputation 300, Water Sword Talisman ×3]

...

[Doorway Affairs: Eliminate the rogue loose cultivators at Shuangjiao Mountain, affairs completed]

[Completion Reward: Reputation 590, Cultivation Technique of Evergreen Skill]

...

Reputation Points gained, feeling delightful.

Three Water Sword Talismans, tier reaching Tier One Middle Grade.

The Cultivation Technique of Evergreen Skill can also be passed down together.

After Song Minghui and Zhang Nianchuan completed the Shuangjiao Mountain affairs, they rested for a night and returned to the Cyan Mountain Sect to report.

The completion of the Shuangjiao Mountain loose cultivator clearing was reported to Lu Yuanshan.

After finishing this affair, the two decided to descend the mountain once again, preparing to head to Flame Capital City.

To capture the demon cave demon cultivator Yang Wangyuan.

According to the sect leader’s introduction, this demon cultivator has already settled in the Ruyi Tower of Flame Capital City, and his whereabouts are already known.

As for why even his whereabouts could be so clearly grasped, Zhang Nianchuan and Song Minghui were somewhat puzzled.

No sign of the sect leader going out to investigate or gain experience.

No spies were dispatched by the sect nor an intelligence department built to inquire about news and monitor dynamics everywhere.

How could the sect even know the whereabouts of a rogue demon cave cultivator named in Flame Capital City?

Thinking deeply about it, there’s a mysterious sense of awe.

The Cyan Mountain Sect seemed to be more mysterious and powerful than they realized, far from being as simple as it appeared.

At the same time, they felt a sense of pride.

Although the Cyan Mountain Sect was currently small scaled, with few disciples, it was by no means ordinary.

One day when met with fortunate circumstances, it would certainly transform into a dragon.

"Minghui, Nianchuan, there’s something inappropriate about you two capturing Yang Wangyuan together."

"Although Yang Wangyuan is a Seventh-Layer Qi Cultivation cultivator, logically speaking, with your joint efforts, you can capture him."

"But after all, he comes from the demon cave, carrying demonic dao magical artifacts, and if he has already refined the Seven Evils Ghost Yin Banner, with your combined abilities, you might struggle to cope, don’t take risks lightly."

Lu Yuanshan was still very concerned about the safety of Song Minghui and Zhang Nianchuan.

They were the elite among the disciples of the Cyan Mountain Sect.

The father had previously mentioned wanting these two to break through to Foundation Establishment in two to three years, becoming Foundation Establishment cultivators.

They were the Foundation Establishment seeds of the Cyan Mountain Sect.

"I’ll notify Elder Zhiwei to accompany you, so you can look out for each other, which puts my mind at ease."

The Seven Evils Ghost Yin Banner, at great success, could confront Ninth-Layer Qi Cultivation cultivators head-on, and to prevent failure, a Peak Qi Cultivation cultivator must be dispatched to accompany.

Lu Changfeng was still in secluded cultivation, showing no signs of coming out.

Within the sect, only Lu Zhiwei remained.

With the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword in hand, Lu Zhiwei’s strength could be considered invincible in the Qi Cultivation Stage, as long as not met by Foundation Establishment cultivators, she’d entirely be capable of self-defense.

"Then it’s up to Second Elder to accompany us."

Song Minghui understood Lu Yuanshan’s concern, feeling warm inside, and discussed with Zhang Nianchuan about waiting for Lu Zhiwei to accompany them.

They didn’t wait too long, as that afternoon, Lu Zhiwei set off with Song Minghui and Zhang Nianchuan, heading straight to Flame Capital City.

The capture mission couldn’t afford delay.

Flame Capital City was located to the west of the Cyan Mountain Sect, over fourteen hundred miles away, already bordering the Yanhuang Desert.

This was an emerging city, established for only over ninety years, under the jurisdiction of Shuntian Prefecture in Lushan County.

After Lu Zhiwei and the others set off, at the same time, Lu Ping saw through the system display the avatars of Lu Zhiwei and the other two, moving in a straight line towards Flame Capital City.

Opening their avatars, he could even see the strength details and simple personal panels of the three.

Regarding the three heading to Flame Capital City to capture the demon cave demon cultivator Yang Wangyuan, Lu Ping wasn’t worried whether they would return safely.

As long as the Seven Evils Ghost Yin Banner wasn’t refined, given Song Minghui and Zhang Nianchuan’s capabilities, dealing with Yang Wangyuan wouldn’t be difficult.

Moreover, even if the demon banner was refined, wouldn’t Lu Zhiwei be accompanying?

The Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword was definitely able to destroy the Seven Evils Ghost Yin Banner.

Dealing with Yang Wangyuan wasn’t a problem at all.

Lu Ping wasn’t planning to sit around doing nothing either.

Though Yang Wangyuan was confirmed to be in the Ruyi Tower in Flame Capital City, exactly what he looked like, and specifically which person he was, would take some time to confirm.

As a consciousness body, Lu Ping taking on the role of detective was very fitting.

No one could detect his presence.

Finding Yang Wangyuan wasn’t a difficult task.

Due to time pressure, preventing Yang Wangyuan from leaving Ruyi Tower and going elsewhere, Lu Zhiwei and the others traveled at full speed, moving swiftly, covering five to six hundred miles a day.

Lu Ping couldn’t keep up with his consciousness body’s speed.

Therefore, upon noticing through the system that the trio had reached the Ruyi Tower, Lu Ping didn’t hesitate.

Spending 5 Reputation Points, he exchanged for an [Instant Transmission], teleporting beside the trio.

Lu Zhiwei was unaware of Lu Ping’s arrival.

After the trio entered the Ruyi Tower, they stationed themselves and carefully monitored every guest.

The inn was bustling with people, including merchants, offspring of officials, loose cultivators, ordinary citizens, and countless others, making the scene very vibrant.

During one morning of observation, the trio gained nothing, without spotting any odd individuals.

Soon in the afternoon, Lu Ping leveraged his consciousness body advantage for a full afternoon of monitoring.

The entire observation process, simply put, involved close surveillance of everyone in the inn, including their words, actions, and gestures, even when alone.

Coupled with the keen eye of a Golden Core Ancestor, the results of this observation were satisfying, fitting the name of the Ruyi Tower.

Lu Ping found Yang Wangyuan.

On the second floor of the inn, there stood a middle-aged man with small eyes and thin eyebrows, with a somewhat dark complexion, wearing a black robe.

Seemingly unimpressive, he was precisely Yang Wangyuan.
