Chapter 21 Ascension to Capture the Murderer
"These Shadow Needles truly live up to their reputation as top-grade spiritual artifacts. Killing these Body Refinement cultivators without the protection of spiritual artifacts or protective robes is a piece of cake!"
In the blink of an eye, after annihilating the remaining six people and six cranes, Xu Yan retrieved the Shadow Needle and the Thunderclap Sword, his expression relaxed and his mind clear.
During the process of killing these six people, the other outer disciples did not have any special treasures, so they naturally had no power to resist.
Only the female cultivator who started the trouble hurriedly summoned a Vajra Talisman for protection.
This talisman can withstand attacks from low-grade spiritual weapons for a while.
However, when it encounters the top-grade spiritual weapon, the Shadow Needle, it is destroyed with just one strike.
"Fortunately, I recently fished out the Shadow Needle, otherwise, with only the Thunderclap Sword, I would probably have had to go to the Jade Dynasty world to take refuge."
Xu Yan shook his head slightly.
For a cultivator at the Physical Body Realm, possessing a spiritual artifact is an extraordinary opportunity.
Who would have thought that he not only possessed two magical artifacts, but one of them was also a top-grade magical artifact!
It can only be said that these people did not die unjustly.
Greed is not a problem; after all, there are plenty of people in the cultivation world who are tempted by treasures and kill to steal them.
But if you are weak and greedy, you must be prepared to be finished!
Ultimately, weakness is the original sin.
"I need to go into seclusion again for a while and break through as soon as possible!"
Xu Yan had this thought.
During this period, he was either in the mine or in the wilderness.
After nearly twenty days of continuous practice, it became somewhat tedious and boring, and I felt restless and restless.
Having previously killed a group of underground demons and fished out a top-grade spiritual artifact, he was just about to show off his skills, kill more demons, and collect the power of destiny.
As a result, in the blink of an eye, the arrogant attitude of these Feathered Immortal Sect disciples made him realize that low-level cultivators really had no dignity in the cultivation world.
If he hadn't had a trump card this time, he would have really had to humble himself, fawn over others, and obediently offer up the treasure to beg for his life.
He is now rich in resources and treasures, and is about to be hunted down by the Feathered Gate. He has temporarily given up his idea of killing the underground demons and plundering the power of destiny.
The most urgent task is to elevate one's level of understanding.
Once he reaches a higher level, even if all the demons in the Black Rock Mountains are killed, there will still be enough demons waiting for him to harvest when he dives into the deep abyss.
……
This was the crime scene, and other Yuhua Sect disciples might appear at any time. Xu Yan stopped thinking about it and quickly ran down the cliff to collect his spoils.
Previously, these cranes had not flown very high, and since the disciples of the Feathered Ascension Sect were all highly skilled and wearing ceremonial robes, their bodies were not mangled beyond recognition even after falling from the sky.
The most valuable items among them are the flying swords of the two leading inner disciples.
Both are low-grade spiritual artifacts; one is a blue flying sword with water attribute, and the other is a red flying sword with fire attribute.
The water and fire Taoist robes worn by the two were the same style as those worn by Xu Yan himself.
He didn't look at it much and just ripped it off.
During this process, he also found a pair of gauntlets in the hands of the leader, which looked quite extraordinary, probably at the level of a top-grade magic weapon.
Without a doubt, with these top-grade magical gauntlets, this person's close combat strength is absolutely astonishing.
Each of these two inner disciples had more than ten jade talismans on them, all of which were standard jade talismans issued by the Feathered Ascension Sect to both inner and outer disciples.
Xu Yan already had his own set of methods and didn't look at them much.
As for elixirs, he only found six Bigu Pills.
Although these two were inner disciples of the Feathered Ascension Sect, compared to his current wealth, they were definitely penniless.
Apart from the male and female disciples who were stronger and whose magic swords were all high-grade magic weapons, all the other items on the six outer disciples were standard outer disciple equipment.
In addition, each of the eight people had a spirit beast token, which Xu Yan also collected.
After packing everything up, it came out as a large, bulging bag, which looked like it contained quite a lot of things.
"It's a pity there's no personal storage space. I wish I could fish up a magic pouch someday!"
Carrying the large package, Xu Yan felt a little uncomfortable.
The physical cultivator carrying a bundle, even though he was wearing a high-class water and fire Daoist robe, did not have the demeanor of a cultivator at all.
Unfortunately, forget about finding the treasure pouch in the Great Yan Dynasty.
The Treasure Pouch of the Eternal World is a spatial treasure, falling between a top-grade spiritual artifact and a low-grade magic artifact. Its price is even higher than that of an ordinary low-grade magic artifact, around 400,000 White Yang Pills.
Typically, newly advanced cultivators in the Divine Power Realm need to accumulate a certain amount of wealth before they can afford this treasure.
Moreover, to purchase this treasure, one would likely need to go to Xuanhuang City, or other large markets established by other immortal sects.
Otherwise, even with money, you couldn't buy such a treasure.
The crime scene is very close to the tree hole where he used to live, so he can't stay there for the time being.
Xu Yan tied a speed talisman to his leg and quickly left the place.
He traveled hundreds of miles away to find a secluded cave. He then communicated with the coordinates of the Immortal Execution World deep within his consciousness, and with a flicker, he vanished without a trace.
Not long after Xu Yan left, the cries of cranes came from high above, and a flock of cranes descended near the cliff.
More than ten figures stood proudly atop the crane.
These people wore water and fire robes, or even higher-grade spiritual artifact robes. They exuded a powerful aura and their every move revealed their majesty.
Each and every one of them was actually a master at the tenth level of the Divine Transformation Realm.
They stared at the corpses of their fellow disciples, the cranes, and the demon yakshas stripped of their robes, below the cliff, their faces grim.
"Who on earth dares to be so audacious as to wantonly slaughter my Yuhua Sect disciples? This is a grave disrespect to my Yuhua Sect!"
"Outrageous! Absolutely outrageous!"
"How dare they harm my disciples on my Yuhua Sect's territory! This is a trampling of my sect's dignity! They must be apprehended swiftly, imprisoned in the Immortal Prison, and severely suppressed!"
"Dare to kill a disciple of my Feathered Ascension Sect? This is an unforgivable crime! Let us scatter and pursue him; do not let this fiend escape!"
"Send messages to all regions, informing all fellow disciples to seal off the Black Rock Mountains and capture this fiend at all costs!"
"This sudden attack by the subterranean demons, including members of the Red Dust Demon Sect and the Yellow Springs Demon Sect, could it be that our fellow disciples killed these demons, and we've been retaliated against by the demons who came here?"
"We must inform Senior Brother Gao as soon as possible so he can make a decision on whether to report to the sect and request a few more senior disciples!"
In a short while, the group split into three groups, each riding a crane, and disappeared without a trace.
……
Xu Yan reappeared in the same place he left last time, near Caomiao Village.
To the north of Qingyun Mountain lies the Hongchuan River, a major river, while fifty li to the south lies the important town of Heyang, a strategically vital location controlling the vital passage between heaven and earth.
Xu Yan has all the cultivation resources on him, so he doesn't need any worldly possessions. There's no need for him to settle down in Heyang City.
He looked up and gazed at the Qingyun Mountains not far away, then decided to go directly to the back of the Qingyun Mountains to cultivate.
The Qingyun Mountain Range stretches for hundreds of miles, with the Qingyun Sect occupying seven main peaks. Including the disciples, the total number of Qingyun Sect members is less than a thousand, making the vast mountain range very open.
The back mountain, in particular, is very quiet and unobtrusive, making it ideal for his cultivation.
With this in mind, Xu Yan used the Swift Travel Talisman to continue his journey.
