Imperial Cultivation

Chapter 905: Chapter 901: Descent

The flying knife has already been examined, and indeed, the ice peak is different from the other snow peaks.

The ice jade contained on the ice peak is not only harder than iron, but also possesses the power to clear the heart and calm the mind, accelerating the circulation of True Yuan.

But because of this, there are always skilled masters there.

These Demon Clan masters are perceptive and sharp, seeing the magical portal appear, of course they cannot ignore it.

Therefore, wanting to quietly enter the Demon Realm is almost impossible.

”While they are unprepared, let’s quickly seize it.” Fu Zheng excitedly said, ”Or kill those guys completely!”

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”Can you eradicate them?”

Fu Zheng nodded vigorously, becoming more excited, ”Every time there are nine people collecting ice jade, no more.”

”Why only nine people?”

”Each of the nine tribes within a thousand miles sends out a skilled master.”

”If you kill these nine people, won’t there be another set of nine?”

”This is a one-time deal.” Fu Zheng laughed, ”But we’ve already profited, from what this guy says, the benefits of the ice jade are numerous.”

Chu Zhiyuan looked at Zhuang Juyue.

Zhuang Juyue slightly furrowed her brows, appearing thoughtful.

”What does Master Zhuang think?” Chu Zhiyuan asked.

Zhuang Juyue sighed lightly, ”These nine are not so easy to kill.”

Earlier she had seen the brawny man in action, his might was terrifying, seeing his palm shadow, the lion-shaped palm shadow made her hair stand on end.

Fu Zheng said, ”Just nine people, they’re just some seniors, if we dispatch eighteen Venerables, we should be able to kill them, right?”

”Sister Fu,” Lu Qingyuan said, ”how can we know if they don’t have preparations now?”

Fu Zheng said, ”They probably don’t expect us to counterattack, they’re just curious why this guy hasn’t been able to get out since he came in, ... hehe, they might send skilled masters in again.”

Lu Qingyuan’s bright eyes flashed as she gently nodded, ”Makes sense.”

She looked at Zhuang Juyue, ”Master, should I open it again to see if I can let more people in?”

Zhuang Juyue looked at Chu Zhiyuan.

Chu Zhiyuan asked, ”How is the cultivation of those remaining eight?”

Fu Zheng said, ”Not as good as him.”

”There aren’t any stronger masters?”

”They’re already among the top of their tribes, no stronger ones.”

”Then directly kill them to prevent changes that might draw more masters.”

”Exactly!” Fu Zheng excitedly said, ”We must catch them off guard, kill them all, and grab the ice jade!”

She felt that at this time, procrastination wasn’t wise, since they knew the situation over there, decisive action should be taken to avoid further complications.

Dragging it out might lead to more masters arriving at the ice peak, who knows?

Chu Zhiyuan looked at Zhuang Juyue.

Zhuang Juyue pondered.

Chu Zhiyuan proposed, ”The Prince Consort Mansion and the Twelfth Princess Mansion send some Venerables, if it’s not enough, the Third Prince Mansion also has some Venerables.”

Zhuang Juyue slowly said, ”The Prince Consort Mansion sends eight Venerables, our sect sends eight Venerables, how about that?”

”Good.” Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

No wonder it’s the Phoenix Sword Sect, they can send eight Venerables without blinking an eye.

Sects below the Four Great Sects have Venerables exceedingly rare, at most two.

Fu Zheng said, ”Your Highness, I’ll go find Sister Li.”

Chu Zhiyuan nodded, ”Ask her to dispatch eight then six Venerables.”

”Your Highness, you’ll go too?”

”Yes, I’m not at ease.”

”Prince Consort...” Zhuang Juyue hesitated.

She felt this matter too risky.

If something unexpected happens, the Phoenix Sword Sect cannot bear the wrath of the Twelfth Princess.

”With Your Highness leading, there’s absolutely no problem!”

Fu Zheng excitedly said.

With Your Highness’s skills, even if trapped in the Demon Realm, he could break through from the Outer Realm Battlefield.

With Chu Zhiyuan present, she immediately felt confident and calm.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, ”Master Zhuang, I’ll go myself to feel at ease, with me there, in critical moments, I can open a portal to escape.”

”Prince Consort, what about me?” Lu Qingyuan asked.

Chu Zhiyuan replied, ”You also come along, double insurance, don’t go and not return.”

Lu Qingyuan showed a smile.

Zhuang Juyue resignedly said, ”Well then, I’ll also go personally.”

Lu Qingyuan hurriedly tried to dissuade her, ”Master...”

Zhuang Juyue gently waved her hand, kind yet firm, ”If the Prince Consort dares to take this risk, why wouldn’t I?”

”...Alright.” Lu Qingyuan could only give up trying to dissuade her.

...

Twelfth Prince Consort Mansion

In the spacious courtyard in front of the screen wall, under a row of strange trees, fifteen Venerables had already gathered.

Zhuang Juyue brought seven Venerables, including Lu Qingyuan.

Mo Qing did not appear due to insufficient cultivation.

Besides Chu Zhiyuan, Fu Zheng, and Li Yuzhen, there were five more Venerables.

Among them, two were tributes of the Twelfth Princess Mansion, two from the Third Prince Mansion’s tributes, and one tribute from the Eldest Prince Mansion.

If the Eldest Prince hadn’t gotten the message, there wouldn’t be a tribute of the Eldest Prince present.

Chu Zhiyuan stood in front of everyone, his expression calm, ”You all understand the situation we are about to face, there is only one requirement, swift and ruthless, the quicker the better, now the Demon Clan has even stronger secret techniques, the power of Jade and Stone Burning is more terrifying.”

Everyone listened solemnly.

”First, let’s discuss the plan and steps, if there are any objections, you can raise them, once there are no objections, then adhere to them strictly, any delay might lead to unpredictable consequences.”

Everyone’s expression was serious, saying nothing.

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”After arriving, hold them back immediately, work in pairs, Fu Zheng you form a group alone.”

Everyone exchanged glances and nodded to each other.

They knew in advance they would face eight Demon Clan Venerables, and had already formed groups.

Chu Zhiyuan continued, ”I’ll cast a secret technique to trap them, preventing them from activating the Jade and Stone Burning secret technique, I’ll handle the rest, your task is to hold them back, not to pursue kills.”

Someone raised a hand, it was a Venerable from the Phoenix Sword Sect, a beautiful middle-aged woman.

Chu Zhiyuan nodded, ”Mr. Liu, please go ahead.”

For a Venerable, even if it’s a woman, she is often respectfully called Mr.

Liu Lvjun smiled serenely, ”So we don’t need to strike to kill?”

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”If you can seize the opportunity to kill, that would be great, but Demon Clan masters are full of vitality, unless you can decapitate them, it’s very hard to kill them in a short time, causing them to become rampant is troublesome.”

”Then we should decapitate them.” Liu Lvjun gently tapped the sword scabbard at her slender waist.

”Yes, decapitate them!” someone echoed.

Being tributes or sect elders, all held high positions, how could they tolerate performing such menial tasks?

Even though Chu Zhiyuan is a Prince Consort, moreover the Twelfth Prince Consort, they still felt rebellious.

Hearing is misleading, seeing is believing.

Even though Chu Zhiyuan’s fame among Venerables is high, very few have seen him in action.

Chu Zhiyuan nodded, ”If you have the power, you can strike to kill, strive for one-kill strikes.”

He could directly destroy their demon crystals, easily killing them, but others didn’t have this ability.

”Then let’s do it, Miss Lu.”

”Yes.”

Lu Qingyuan closed her bright eyes, raised her pale palm, and began drawing arcs in front of her.

Within the arcs, a small black dot appeared and slowly grew as she moved her palms.

Finally transforming into a light gate.

Chu Zhiyuan strode in without hesitation, Zhuang Juyue followed closely.

The rest also entered one by one, relaxing their bodies, letting True Yuan flow, ready to act anytime.

Lu Qingyuan was the last to enter.

As she stopped her True Yuan, the light gate suddenly turned into a black dot and vanished.

Chu Zhiyuan found himself atop an ice peak, a brawny man guarding it, staring in shock as they appeared.

A hundred meters below on the ice peak, six brawny men were wielding Black Iron Shovels chipping away at ice blocks.

Amidst clinking sounds, those ice blocks remained motionless.

Even when moved by a Venerable’s True Yuan, the Black Iron Shovel only left shallow marks on the ice blocks.

Zhuang Juyue abruptly lunged at the brawny man guarding the light gate, while Chu Zhiyuan directly pinched his fingers and started chanting, a golden net fell towards the brawny man, ensnaring him.

Zhuang Juyue unsheathed her sword, the sword light like red clouds enveloped the brawny man.
