Imperial Cultivation

Chapter 1132: Chapter 1128: Investigation

The valley where Myriad Blood Sect is located stirs a sense of familiarity in him.

Similar to the situation of the Evil Sect he saw in Little Outer Heaven.

Inside the valley, there are nine statues, one large and eight small Red Jade Statues.

But the sculptures are not of the elegant middle-aged man he expected.

Instead, it’s a spider-bodied, middle-aged-faced eerie figure.

Chu Zhiyuan frowned.

The demons he saw in Biyuan Heaven were all with human bodies and beast heads, like unfinished Transformations.

While the Evil Venerable he saw in Little Outer Heaven was similar to these statues.

Are these statues also Evil Venerables?

The methods of Myriad Blood Sect seem to align with those Evil Sects from Little Outer Heaven.

All about devouring Essence Blood.

Upon seeing these Evil Venerables, a fire ignited in his heart, filled with killing intent.

Lu Xiaolu thought for a moment and whispered with Sound Transmission into Secret: ”Let’s go back first.”

Chu Zhiyuan turned to look at her.

The sinister gaze startled Lu Xiaolu, Sound Transmission into Secret: ”Junior Brother, do you have a blood feud with them?”

Chu Zhiyuan slowly exhaled turbid air and shook his head: ”Just looking at them makes me want to eliminate them.”

”I want to even more!” Lu Xiaolu quickly nodded: ”But worrying about alerting the snake, moreover, they must have top experts, we may not be able to take them down. Let’s wait for Senior Sisters to join, and then we will raid their hideout and annihilate them!”

Chu Zhiyuan slowly nodded.

There are thirteen Venerables in this valley, six of them being High Rank Venerables.

The nine statues also contain amazing power, they are Sect Treasures.

He felt as if he returned to Little Outer Heaven, eliminating the Evil Sect.

He suddenly withdrew his Super Sense.

The largest statue continually emitted an unusual power sweeping through the entire valley.

He felt it almost swept over him.

The power of this statue is indeed unusual, different from spiritual power, it is more mysterious.

It likely can sense Super Sense.

”Junior Brother, let’s go.” Lu Xiaolu urged again with Sound Transmission.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled at her and gently nodded.

Lu Xiaolu, usually impulsive, was unexpectedly calm this time.

Lu Xiaolu crouched and moved silently through the woods.

Chu Zhiyuan followed her, avoiding the hidden sentries, swiftly moving away ten miles.

Only then did they step on the treetops and continue.

While traversing a forest, Chu Zhiyuan suddenly stopped, pointing below.

Lu Xiaolu was puzzled.

Chu Zhiyuan said: ”There are Myriad Blood Sect disciples ambushing by the roadside, ready to harm people.”

Lu Xiaolu’s spirit lifted: ”What are we waiting for, let’s eliminate them!”

Chu Zhiyuan said: ”Let’s wait and see how they will act.”

”Let’s go.” Lu Xiaolu quickly nodded.

Chu Zhiyuan led her to the left, moving two miles forward, then down into a forest, hiding among the branches.

He nodded towards the opposite side.

Lu Xiaolu squinted her bright eyes, quickly noticing the hidden figures in the opposite forest.

A road is sandwiched between two forests, leading to Tongyuan City.

This road is wide and flat, built by the Court as an official road.

On the other side of the official road, in the forest, two youths are each hiding behind a big tree that one person can embrace.

Lu Xiaolu saw the corners of their clothes.

They haven’t hidden their intentions well, as the road was still empty.

Lu Xiaolu Sound Transmission into Secret: ”Junior Brother, are there many travelers on this road?”

Chu Zhiyuan said: ”Quite a lot, though at this moment, they might be resting.”

It’s noon, the sun hangs high.

Travelers on the road are tired or hungry, they often stop, eat something, drink water, and rest.

They restore their spirit before continuing.

”Are these guys going to attack?” Lu Xiaolu whispered.

Chu Zhiyuan said: ”Expecting them to save people?”

”Junior Brother, how can you be certain they belong to Myriad Blood Sect?”

”I could smell the evil from afar.”

”Junior Brother, your skill is impressive.”

”The key is still Cultivation.”

”With your aptitude, your Cultivation will soon improve, catching up to me.”

”You Senior Sisters’ Guanghan Palace mental method is profound, progresses quickly, I can’t catch up.”

Chu Zhiyuan didn’t feel he could catch up with Lu Xiaolu’s Realm.

He was not the same as before.

Now I have a deeper understanding of Guanghan Palace.

The mental methods of Guanghan Palace are profound, and each disciple has unique qualities that align with the Palace’s methods.

Disciples of Guanghan Palace cultivate rapidly, comparable to the speed of Demon Techniques, making swift progress.

They often attain Venerable Ninth Transitions at a young age, maintaining eternal youth.

My progress is quick, but Lu Xiaolu is no slower than me.

My initial rapid progress was due to the ease of the early stages; it will slow down the further I advance.

”Someone’s coming,” Lu Xiaolu suddenly transmitted via Sound Transmission into Secret.

Chu Zhiyuan glanced over.

Two young men came along the official road, swords at their waists, rushing using Qinggong.

Lu Xiaolu lowered her transmission: ”Will they attack?”

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head.

Lu Xiaolu was surprised: ”Won’t they attack?”

Chu Zhiyuan said: ”Under normal circumstances, they won’t.”

But they saw the two youths drift away, while two in the woods did not make a move.

Lu Xiaolu curiously asked: ”Why don’t they attack? These two aren’t highly cultivated.”

Chu Zhiyuan said: ”These two are likely from nearby cities, if anything happens, it would provoke much concern.”

”... Will they kill those travelers from afar?” Lu Xiaolu quickly understood Chu Zhiyuan’s implication: ”No one will chase... is it to avoid exposing their sect’s location?”

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

Lu Xiaolu scoffed: ”These fellows are quite cunning!”

Chu Zhiyuan said: ”Still not exterminated, not without reason.”

Soon, two travelers on horseback arrived, galloping with urgency.

They were two middle-aged men, knives at their waist, weary faces stained by the road.

Their red horses were filthy as well.

Just as they were about to accelerate, two youths from Myriad Blood Sect suddenly emerged from the woods, landing lightly on their backs, ready to ride.

They didn’t even notice anything unusual until the youths sat down, lightly pressing their shoulders, paralyzing them instantly.

Chu Zhiyuan snorted: ”Now they’re attacking.”

Super Sensing clearly saw them employing Evil Techniques, palms like whirlpools, starting to absorb the Essence Blood.

The two men ahead felt weak, powerless to resist, at the mercy of their captors.

Chu Zhiyuan flicked his fingers.

Two strands of finger force shot like lightning, zigzagging in the air to hit the two youths.

They were so focused on devouring Essence Blood they didn’t react in time and were struck at the back of the head.

Just as they sensed the abnormality and tried to dodge, they were already hit by the finger force.

Their heads swayed, as if struck by a massive log, necks nearly snapping.

Lu Xiaolu clapped her hands, excitedly shouted: ”Bravo!”

Chu Zhiyuan pushed with his right palm.

Two Hand Seals condensed in the air, then each struck a youth respectively.

They slid two measures through the air, crashing heavily into the opposite woods, sliding slowly down a tree.

The two middle-aged men on horseback were pale, body limp, nearly rolling off the horses.

They clasped fists to salute Chu Zhiyuan and Lu Xiaolu, grateful for the lifesaving benevolence.

Chu Zhiyuan waved his hand.

Lu Xiaolu said: ”You may go, be careful along this road from now on.”

”Yes, yes, thank you, young heroine, thank you, hero.”

The two nodded repeatedly, hastily remounted, still shaken, and rode away.

Chu Zhiyuan walked over, observing the two youths already unconscious underfoot.

Lu Xiaolu was puzzled: ”Junior brother, why not just kill them, why spare their lives?”

Chu Zhiyuan said: ”We need to uncover their details and strengths first, better to have targeted methods.”

Lu Xiaolu said: ”They are all tight-lipped, won’t yield under questioning.”

Chu Zhiyuan smiled: ”Senior sister, leave them to me, I will find a way.”

”You excel at interrogation techniques?” Lu Xiaolu asked.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled: ”Know a thing or two, ... Senior sister, you go ahead, I will catch up shortly to distract your eyes from their filthiness.”

”... Okay, I’ll go first, come quickly.”

Lu Xiaolu happily agreed.

She indeed didn’t want to see how Chu Zhiyuan interrogated the two youths, knowing it would be ruthlessly cruel.

As she drifted away, disappearing from sight, a Light Gate brightened, and Chu Liezhao stepped out.

He lifted the two youths, turned, crossed the Light Gate, disappeared from sight.

Chu Zhiyuan then got up to travel, watching Chu Liezhao as he threw the two youths into a mountain forest, activating the Heavenly Illusion Pavilion along the way.

As the two youths woke, they fell into an Illusion Realm, yet were oblivious, thinking they returned to that valley.

Quickly, outside the valley, a group of experts surged in, rushing into the valley.

They instantly counterattacked with valley disciples, maneuvering valley mechanisms, activating statues, with hidden Sect Treasures also emerging.

Fifteen minutes later, Chu Zhiyuan already had a general understanding of that valley and the reality of Myriad Blood Sect.
