Imperial Cultivation

Chapter 1090: Chapter 1086: Companions on the Road

Chu Zhiyuan retrieved his flying knife, frowning as he watched the two groups of people moving away.

These evil demons have such abilities, extremely difficult to deal with.

I have the aura of the Demon Suppressing Divine Tree, and can sense their oddities.

If it were another expert, they probably wouldn’t have this ability and would be caught off guard.

I don’t know how many experts have perished here.

Zhao Simeng withdrew her gaze and looked at Chu Zhiyuan: ”Junior Brother Chu, is your Demon Suppressing Saber truly mystical? Can it really see through the illusions of these evil demons?”

”Senior Sister Zhao, I have an inexplicable aversion to them, and felt something was off, so I gave it a try, and it worked.”

”Good, good.” Zhao Simeng exclaimed: ”Junior Brother Chu, with your abilities, those demons that can change their appearance won’t have a chance.”

Dong Muyu said: ”Junior Brother Chu, you should quickly cultivate and reach Venerable Third Transition; it would be best to accompany you down the mountain.”

Just by sensing the disguises of these demons, he is a hot commodity.

Chu Zhiyuan nodded with a smile.

He then looked towards the direction of the great hall.

Zhao Simeng softly said: ”Guanghan Palace intends to go to Qinglian Sea.”

”Going to Qinglian Sea to assist?”

”After two great demons appeared in Qinglian Sea, stronger forces are needed to suppress them. Apart from Guanghan Palace, two other sects will send experts to assist.”

”Alas...they are going to mock us this time.” Dong Muyu said.

Zhao Simeng nodded gently: ”It’s unavoidable, lives are at stake, and face doesn’t matter then.”

”Just hate that my cultivation isn’t enough!” Dong Muyu said aggrievedly.

Zhao Simeng laughed: ”With your talent, Junior Sister, you’ll soon reach Venerable Third Transition, don’t rush.”

”Alas...fine then.” Dong Muyu sighed.

She was clearly unwilling, especially at this time.

Chu Zhiyuan continued watching the two groups of evil demons moving away.

As they got two miles away, they all changed their appearances.

The originally handsome and dashing figures all transformed into fox-like visages.

Human bodies, fox heads, narrow eyes, shooting bright rays, chilling.

After returning to their original forms, they gathered together and started talking.

Super Sense is not just about sight, but also hearing and other senses connecting.

He clearly heard their words.

Then he saw them transform again. The fox faces quickly changed, and in the blink of an eye, they became the appearances of thirteen women from Guanghan Palace.

Both groups of foxes turned into the appearance of Guanghan Palace women, like thirteen pairs of twins.

Chu Zhiyuan’s expression became serious.

Their transformation technique had surpassed the scope of mere disguise.

Thirteen disciples of Guanghan Palace not only looked identical but also had the same temperament.

Without his kind of intuition, it would be hard to distinguish true from false.

Thinking of this, he turned his head and said: ”Senior Sister Zhao, could they transform into the appearances of the Guanghan Palace sisters to go to Qinglian Sea, ambushing Guiyang Sword Sect and Fuyun Sect halfway?”

Zhao Simeng was startled, her expression changing slightly: ”Very possible!”

Dong Muyu hurriedly said: ”What should we do then?”

Zhao Simeng replied: ”I’ll speak to the Sect Leader, we must agree on secret signals with the other two sects.”

She praised Chu Zhiyuan: ”You truly are Junior Brother Chu.”

Li Hongzhao said: ”Our elders on that side also need to be cautious.”

”Indeed.” Zhao Simeng nodded, gracefully flew away.

Outside, peace had returned.

Chu Zhiyuan and the others retreated again, leaving White Jade Square, returning to his small courtyard.

As he sat down to relax for a moment, a knock came from outside, it was Zhao Simeng herself.

”Senior Sister Zhao?”

”Junior Brother Chu, the Sect Leader invites you.”

”Senior Sister Zhao, for what matter?”

Chu Zhiyuan opened the door of the small courtyard, walking side by side with Zhao Simeng, asking.

Zhao Simeng smiled: ”The Sect Leader wants you to accompany the Guanghan Palace sisters on a trip to Qinglian Sea.”

Chu Zhiyuan hesitated: ”With my cultivation...”

Zhao Simeng said: ”Therefore, the Sect Leader wants to ask your opinion, whether you want to go.”

Chu Zhiyuan frowned in contemplation.

Zhao Simeng said: ”The Sect Leader has the Heavenly Sword, and the Heavenly Sword can have many clones.”

Chu Zhiyuan made a fist with his hand: ”Thank you, Senior Sister.”

He immediately understood Zhao Simeng’s meaning, this was revealing a secret.

If he didn’t know this, just thinking his cultivation was insufficient would make him hesitate.

And in this situation, once agreed, he would surely be rewarded with massive merits, a chance for great fortune.

Zhao Simeng smiled sweetly: ”Even if I didn’t say this, you would understand, Junior Brother.”

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head with a smile.

The two arrived at the base of White Jade Square, passing by twelve disciples of Guanghan Palace.

A sweet fragrance permeated the nostrils, the world seemed suddenly enchanting.

Chu Zhiyuan remained unchanged, following Zhao Simeng onto the steps, entering the great hall.

Inside the hall, apart from Sect Leader Lu Wanshan, was the previous Guanghan Palace expert Qi Qingmei.

Qi Qingmei sat upright on a Taishi Chair, graceful and charming.

She glanced at Chu Zhiyuan entering the hall, her bright eyes flickered, slightly dazed.

Chu Zhiyuan stepped forward, clasped his fist in greeting.

”Zhiyuan, dare you go to Qinglian Sea with the sisters of Guanghan Palace?”

”Sect Leader commands, naturally I follow.”

”Experts of Guiyang Sword Sect and Fuyun Sect should already be on their way, contact is tricky, you go to Qinglian Sea with the Guanghan Palace sisters, and can discern true from false if you encounter them.”

”Yes.” Chu Zhiyuan agreed cheerfully.

He knew there was no need to negotiate, the matter was urgent, couldn’t waste words.

More importantly, in such situations, compliance brings greater gains.

”Good.”

Lu Wanshan nodded approvingly, a clear light flew from his sleeve.

The light stopped before Chu Zhiyuan, a crystal-clear small sword.

The small sword was about a palm length, two fingers wide, and looked like ice sculpture, with faint patterns.

Beyond this, nothing extraordinary.

Lu Wanshan said: ”This is one of Heavenly Sword Avatars, can release a Heavenly Sword Essence, crucial moment use it to preserve life.”

”Thank you, Sect Leader!” Chu Zhiyuan clasped his fist, grasping the sword hilt with his left hand.

The moment the hilt touched his hand, he felt a surge of magnificent power.

This feeling was similar to the Spiritual Abyss Power inside his Lao Gong Acupoint.

Holding this sword, he suddenly experienced an illusion, as if he wielded a great sword, a ten-meter-long sword that could cleave mountains and skies.

He hurriedly released his hand, curiously looking at the small sword floating in the air.

Lu Wanshan said: ”Keep it well and don’t use unless it’s crucial.”

He tossed a small sheath.

Chu Zhiyuan received the palm-length sheath, grasped the small sword, and sheathed it.

Then placed the sword in his bosom, clasped his fist: ”Sect Leader, when do we depart?”

”Go now.” Lu Wanshan said: ”The sooner the better.”

”Yes.” Chu Zhiyuan readily agreed, looked at Qi Qingmei.

Qi Qingmei’s face covered in cold frost suddenly smiled: ”Let’s depart, much obliged, Junior Brother Chu.”

”Senior Sister Qi is too polite.” Chu Zhiyuan respectfully clasped his fist.

The very Qi Qingmei before him might well be Venerable Seventh Transition or Eighth Transition.

This wasn’t using Super Sensing Insight, but more of a guess.

He was always comparing Biyuan Heaven with Outer Heaven Venerables.

But due to few comparison targets, limited contact, couldn’t clearly compare.

Seeing these Guanghan Palace experts couldn’t accurately judge their cultivation.

But since these Guanghan Palace experts were sent to assist, they must be experts.

As the leader, wouldn’t be less than Sixth Transition.

From Dong Muyu’s words, Nine Transitions Venerables are rare, almost impossible, so Qi Qingmei’s cultivation should be Seventh or Eighth Transition.

Qi Qingmei clasped her fist toward Lu Wanshan: ”Master Lu, I shall depart then.”

”Much obliged.” Lu Wanshan solemnly clasped his fist.

Qi Qingmei gently smiled, turned around and walked outside.

Chu Zhiyuan clasped his fist toward Lu Wanshan, waited for his wave, then turned to follow Qi Qingmei, leaving the hall.

At this time, White Jade Square already had no other disciples, only twelve Guanghan Palace experts.

They curiously stared at Chu Zhiyuan.

Qi Qingmei said: ”Let’s go, to Qinglian Sea!”

”Senior Sister Qi, who is this...?”

”Talk while walking, must hurry.” Qi Qingmei said.

She elegantly floated into the air, followed by twelve floating women, lightly gliding onward.

Chu Zhiyuan hurried to catch up, suddenly feeling strained.

Merely using Qinggong wasn’t enough to keep up with them.
