Imperial Cultivation

Chapter 424: Chapter 421 Statue

Zhou Zhijia’s eyes were bewildered.

Meng Canglan’s beautiful face was solemn.

Two Great Grandmasters were slain just like that?

This truly seems quite trivial.

These are two Great Grandmasters, rare in the world, the topmost power under heaven!

They were so easily killed? And they were the evil-ridden Great Grandmasters of the Evil Sect.

It is well-known that it is hard to kill a Great Grandmaster of the Evil Sect; everyone in the Wuyou Sect knows how troublesome and terrifying they can be.

Yet they were easily killed.

Chu Zhiyuan noticed her shock and said with a smile, ”These two guys just stepped into the rank of Great Grandmasters, and they achieved it with external help.”

He continued, ”If they had time to familiarize themselves for another month or even just ten days or so, things would be different.”

”The Princely Heir’s words are extremely true,” Huang Cheng agreed, ”Their mindset was still at the level of a Grandmaster, unable to fully utilize the power of a Great Grandmaster.”

Tao Haoran laughed, ”Even so, being able to kill them so easily is indeed fortunate.”

When he was about to act, he was quite nervous, cautious, thinking about how to leave safely with the Princely Heir without risking his life.

Evil Sect demons, everyone who sees them should kill them.

But when it comes to the Great Grandmasters of the Evil Sect, it’s different; it’s best not to think of killing them but rather how to escape whole.

The best way to deal with a Great Grandmaster of the Evil Sect is to surround and attack them, using numbers to overwhelm them.

He also didn’t expect it to be so easy.

The fundamental reason was still Chu Zhiyuan.

Although Chu Zhiyuan couldn’t kill a Great Grandmaster, he could disrupt their spiritual power operation.

This was stronger than an ordinary Great Grandmaster.

When a Great Grandmaster faces another Great Grandmaster, their interference with spiritual power is not as strong as Chu Zhiyuan’s.

If it weren’t for the qualitative difference between Gang Qi and Spiritual Energy, he would have been able to kill a Great Grandmaster.

The Fourth Prince is truly terrifying.

If he steps into the rank of Great Grandmasters and advances from Gang Qi to Spiritual Energy, how terrifying would that be?

Possibly becoming a Great Grandmaster killer.

”Great Grandmasters...” Meng Canglan sighed softly, shook her head without speaking.

Although they indeed just stepped into the rank of Great Grandmasters, Spiritual Energy is not fake; when facing a Great Grandmaster, they are not without resistance, and that cannot be fake either.

In the past, when a Grandmaster faced a Great Grandmaster, they were always without resistance.

He broke the norm.

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”With these two pests killed, the remaining ones shouldn’t be a problem.”

He looked at the two corpses, approached, and with the tip of the Bright Moon Saber, gently lifted the clothes on their chests.

The tip of the blade quickly revealed two small statues, only palm-sized, like they were carved from jade.

One was a human figure with many legs, the other a three-eyed human figure.

The body and face were those of a handsome middle-aged person, but the legs turned into eight legs, making it look like a spider at first glance.

The other three-eyed figure had three eyes; besides the two eyes, there was another eye at the position of the nose, which had moved downward.

The face looked narrow and extremely frightening.

The tip of the blade tapped the multi-legged figure, ”Is this from the Huaisu Sect?”

Then tapped the three-eyed figure, ”Is this from the Heavenly Heart Sect?”

Meng Canglan replied, ”It should be like that.”

Chu Zhiyuan examined the two exquisitely carved statues.

They were so lifelike, almost as if they could come to life.

Meng Canglan said, ”Among them, the most notorious is the Heavenly Heart Sect, which our sect has been pursuing but can never completely eradicate.”

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”It’s too easy for them to become Great Grandmasters, so it’s hard to kill them all.”

Masters of the Yuding Sect often have to kill members of the Imperial Family and devour their bloodlines to achieve the rank of Great Grandmaster.

This is not easy, as infiltrating the Inner City of Yujing is difficult, and they are strictly guarded.

While the Heavenly Heart Sect and the Huaisu Sect can become Great Grandmasters through sacrifice alone.

That’s a world of difference in difficulty.

”According to records within our sect,” Meng Canglan said, ”it’s actually not so easy to perform the sacrifice; it requires the right time, place, and people.”

Chu Zhiyuan’s thick eyebrows raised.

The Inspection Department truly had no knowledge of this.

Meng Canglan said, ”So-called sacrifice requires everyone’s willingness, whether it’s the Heavenly Heart Sect or the Huaisu Sect, they need people to willingly participate, or it doesn’t count as a sacrifice.”

Chu Zhiyuan frowned and said, ”The latter group is considered willing, but the previous ones count too?”

The mutilated bodies and bloodied remains looked brutal and cruel.

How could that possibly be willing?

Meng Canglan said, ”The previous ones should count as well; otherwise, they couldn’t become Great Grandmasters.”

Chu Zhiyuan frowned in deep thought.

Meng Canglan said, ”The Heavenly Heart Sect and Huaisu Sect’s demons can become a Grandmaster or reach other Realms by killing and devouring, but to become a Great Grandmaster, it requires sacrifice, people must willingly be killed.”

Zhou Zhijia said, ”Holy Daughter, I really don’t understand; who would willingly be killed.”

Chu Zhiyuan said slowly, ”Driven to desperation, worse than death, then they just want to die quickly to escape the pain.”

Meng Canglan nodded, ”That’s probably it.”

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”Those from the Heavenly Heart Sect, they probably saw illusions, which drove them to die so fervently... this must be a secret technique, borrowing mystical artifacts to use this secret technique.”

His gaze fell on the multi-legged figure, thinking it was likely on it.

For such mystical artifacts, he didn’t easily use Insight, to avoid being targeted by Outer Heaven Power.

Intuition said it was this.

Meng Canglan nodded, ”Exactly so, the Heavenly Heart Sect is actually also called the Confusing Heart Sect, best at confusing minds, but to confuse over a thousand people is almost impossible, ... even with a treasure it’s very hard.”

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”Then it must be due to the right timing, location, and human factors, using when people’s hearts were at their emptiest, coupled with assisting treasures.”

He suddenly kicked a huge green stone.

The man-tall stone was kicked into the sky like a pebble, then fell down.

”Boom!” It crashed squarely onto the two exquisitely carved statues.

Zhou Zhijia frowned.

He felt these statues could be used to trace the demons of both sects, using the sensing abilities of a Great Grandmaster, they should be able to track down disciples of both sects.

It was truly a shame to destroy them like that.

He then sensibly closed his mouth, the Holy Daughter was present, surely she would have thought of this.

If the Holy Daughter said nothing, he had no right to speak.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, ”Miss Meng, do you think they can be destroyed?”

Meng Canglan shook her head, ”They probably can’t be destroyed.”

Chu Zhiyuan kicked the stone again, sending it flying into the sky.

The two statues on the ground were already embedded in the soil.

Chu Zhiyuan gestured, and the long saber that fell to the ground flew horizontally, landing beside the two statues.

Chu Zhiyuan stomped, pulling the two statues from the soil and making them fall neatly onto the blade.

The green stone descended fiercely, smashing down.

”Boom!” The stone struck the two statues solidly, then rolled to the side.

The two statues were unscathed.

Chu Zhiyuan looked at Meng Canglan, ”The material is indeed special, we could use this to sense the demons of the Evil Sect,... I plan to clean up the Evil Sect in the Eastern Territory, I need your sect’s assistance.”

Meng Canglan’s bright eyes sparkled.

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”Do you have a Sealing Spirit Box? It would be best to seal them with it.”

”I’ll have someone send it over later,” Meng Canglan nodded.

Items involving Outer Heaven Power must be sealed with a Sealing Spirit Box to prevent anomalies.

Chu Zhiyuan looked in the direction of Eagle Beak Cliff and smiled, ”Those people won’t also be sacrificed, will they?”

Meng Canglan shook her head helplessly, ”I could not say for sure now either.”
