Chapter 143: 139. Exterminating the Red Fire Gang (2/2)
139. Exterminating the Red Fire Gang (2/2)
【Sage's Art: Legend has it that this is a Dharma Spell realized by an immortal who was tired of the nightly carousing and the waste of vast amounts of Spirit Stones in the Joyous Immortal Sect. Casting this spell can completely eliminate one's own or another's carnal desires for a certain period.】
Chen An carefully read the content in the notification message.
To summarize it simply, if he used this Sage's Art on himself, he would enter the Sage Mode.
And it was the kind of Sage Mode that completely severed carnal desires!
If this were in the past, Chen An would definitely have sighed upon seeing this reward from the system, feeling that this spell was useless.
But now, having been constantly troubled by that fox demon, he felt a surge of excitement in his heart the moment he saw the reward was such a spell!
"This Sage's Art happens to perfectly counter that fox demon's Charm Technique, and since my cultivation has now broken through to the Golden Core Stage, I shouldn't have to fear that fox demon anymore!"
Chen An's face was full of smiles.
Over the next few days.
Chen An kept restraining himself from going to dally with his wives and concubines.
He continuously suppressed his carnal desires.
It was only when he was about to break the critical point and could no longer resist the urge to go dally with his wives and concubines that he used the Sage's Art on himself.
Then, he instantly entered Sage Mode.
Afterwards, he looked at his wives and concubines on the bed, disheveled and posing in various seductive ways, looking exceptionally alluring, yet he felt not a single urge to dally with them in his heart.
In fact, he even felt a little like vomiting.
The abstinence effect of this Sage's Art far exceeded the medicinal efficacy of the Severing Emotion Pill!
It exceeded it by dozens or even hundreds of times!
"Husband, how is the abstinence effect of this Sage's Art?"
Wen Zhiyun, who was lying on her side on the bed in a very shameful, seductive pose, couldn't help but ask when she saw that Chen An remained unmoved by her flirtations.
Chen An also said bluntly: "Uh... I feel a bit like vomiting when I look at it."
"That's great!" Song Huaying, who was also on the bed, tucked away her high-raised buttocks, sat up on the bed excitedly, and said with a face full of joy: "Husband, you won't have to fear that vixen when you go out in the future!"
Shen Qingyi, who was to the side, was more rational and leaned toward being conservative: "Husband, do not be careless; it is better to be cautious. Just because you can resist our temptations does not mean you can resist that fox demon's Charm Technique."
Gu Xinyue also nodded: "Husband, Sister Shen is right."
"It's fine. I didn't count on relying solely on the Sage's Art to resist that fox demon's Charm Technique. As long as it can help me block her for a brief moment, I have full confidence in escaping from her hands."
Chen An said with full confidence.
Seeing this, the wives and concubines could not say much more.
They just told him to pay attention to his safety.
In a flash.
Time arrived at noon the next day.
Chen An sat on the bed and glanced at the large number of notification messages that had popped up from last night until this morning.
【Alchemy Experience +4, Wood Spirit Root aptitude +4】 x54
【Divine Sense strength +4】 x48
【Fire Spirit Root aptitude +4】 x66
【Sword Technique +2, Gold Spirit Root aptitude +2】 x78
"Not a small harvest."
Chen An whispered, then got dressed and went to make lunch.
His wives and concubines were still sleeping, so he let them sleep a while longer; there was no need to disturb them.
He had to be a considerate husband.
After all, the reason why his wives and concubines were so exhausted this morning was entirely his fault.
More than an hour later.
The family of seven sat together in the hall eating.
Taking advantage of everyone being present, Chen An announced something to his wives and daughters: "My cultivation and Alchemy Dao are both quite outstanding now. I plan to go to the Heaven and Earth Sect after the meal to see if they are recruiting people."
After hearing this, Shen Qingyi asked: "Husband, do you want to join the Heaven and Earth Sect?"
"Mm, I do have this idea for now."
Chen An sipped some light spirit vegetable soup and said in a calm voice: "This world is full of crises; one either encounters gang wars or Demon Beast disasters. As a rogue cultivator, life is truly much harder."
"That is indeed true."
Shen Qingyi nodded to show her agreement.
She used to be a disciple of the Xuanhuang Sect; as long as she was within the Great Thousand Domain, she could receive protection from the Xuanhuang Sect wherever she went and never had to worry about her personal safety.
But ever since she defected from the Xuanhuang Sect, her life now was truly lived in fear every day, and she had to worry about survival every day.
However, the lucky thing was that she met Chen An, enjoyed the joy she had never experienced in the past few decades, and experienced the happiness of being a woman.
"Husband, why don't we establish our own sect and form a Golden Core family?"
Wen Zhiyun did not want to live under someone else's roof and put forward this idea.
After hearing this, Chen An couldn't help but recall the scene he saw that day: a large group of people from the Void Kun Gang rushed into the Qin Clan Firm with blades, seemingly having some conflict with the Qin Family and coming to smash the shop.
That was how families were.
Once one wanted to grow stronger, one would inevitably come into conflict with other forces.
This did not fit Chen An's philosophy of keeping a low profile.
He thought about it and felt it was better to live under someone else's roof and receive protection, as it could reduce many risks.
Thus, he tactfully rejected Wen Zhiyun's proposal.
Wen Zhiyun was not angry either, but nodded very sensibly and said: "Mm, then we will listen to Husband; our family will join the Heaven and Earth Sect together."
"I wonder what life in the sect is like; it must be very colorful, right?" Song Huaying was full of longing and anticipation.
Gu Xinyue, standing to the side, felt the same.
Wen Zhiyun rolled her eyes at these two younger sisters and said with some annoyance, "Don't get too happy too soon. A sect as large as the Heaven and Earth Sect must be filled with beautiful women; by then, Husband will surely be taking concubines non-stop again."
Gu Xinyue fell silent after hearing this.
Shen Qingyi was likewise silent.
Song Huaying, however, seemed a bit out of place, saying with anticipation and excitement, "That would be great! The more concubines Husband takes, the more sisters I'll have."
Ying is beyond saving... Wen Zhiyun shook her head.
Seeing that the topic was going in the wrong direction, Chen An hurriedly stated his position: "Stop worrying about nothing. Your husband isn't as licentious as you imagine; having the four of you is enough for me."
"Heh."
Wen Zhiyun gave her signature cold laugh.
Shen Qingyi smiled lightly and said, "Husband, there is no need to make such a promise to us; it would be bad if you went back on your word later. If Husband truly meets a woman he likes, feel free to bring her home; I won't mind."
Good wife!
Chen An gave Shen Qingyi a thumbs-up in his heart.
But he did not show it on his face.
About half an hour later.
The family of seven finished their meal.
Chen An used his Divine Sense to check the items in his Storage Bag.
After confirming that everything that needed to be brought was inside, he bid farewell to his wives and concubines and soon set off via Sword Flight toward the Heaven and Earth Sect.
The tunnel was very far from the Heaven and Earth Sect.
If he were to run on land, he wouldn't reach his destination for ten or eight days.
But now, Chen An's mastery of the Sword Flight Technique had reached the grandmaster level, and his flight speed was comparable to that of a powerhouse at the Golden Core Late Stage or even the Nascent Soul Early Stage.
He could fly to the Heaven and Earth Sect in less than an hour.
At this moment, a burst of conversation rang out from a forest ten miles away.
"Quick, set up the formation!"
"Don't let this Heavenly Demon Bear escape!"
"Gang Leader Xie, if you all keep holding back and saving your strength, we will break up immediately!"
"Gang Leader Zhou, don't be angry. We have been putting in the effort, but this Heavenly Demon Bear is just too thick-skinned, which is why we haven't been able to injure it."
"Quick, quick, quick! Brothers of the Black Wind Gang, let's assist Gang Leader Zhou in slaughtering this Heavenly Demon Bear together!"
"..."
Gang Leader Xie? Gang Leader Zhou? Black Wind Gang?
Hearing these keywords, Chen An immediately associated them with the Red Fire Gang.
The Gang Leader of the Red Fire Gang was surnamed Zhou.
Could it be that these two gangs were working together to hunt a Demon Beast?
And what kind of Demon Beast was a Heavenly Demon Bear?
Curious, Chen An immediately flew via Sword Flight in the direction the sound came from.
He was now a great Golden Core cultivator, and a great Golden Core cultivator who had mastered a Golden Finger-level divine ability, as well as various grandmaster-level Dharma Spells.
As long as he didn't run into a powerhouse at the Golden Core Late Stage or above, he would be fine no matter how recklessly he acted.
Besides, just taking a look from high in the sky while using Sword Flight posed no danger at all.
After only a moment.
Chen An had flown over ten miles.
He arrived in the high sky above the source of the sound.
Relying on his powerful eyesight, which far exceeded that of cultivators at the same level, he saw two groups of people below surrounding and beating a massive black bear.
The two groups were wearing the uniforms of the Red Fire Gang and the Black Wind Gang, respectively.
Just as he had guessed earlier, it was indeed the people from the Red Fire Gang and the Black Wind Gang working together to hunt a Demon Beast.
And the Demon Beast they were hunting, a black bear as large as a small hill, was frantically erupting with Spirit Power to fight back.
The spiritual pressure it emitted had already reached the Golden Core Mid-stage.
It was roughly at the Golden Core Fourth Layer.
In terms of strength, it was stronger than both the Gang Leaders of the Red Fire Gang and the Black Wind Gang.
But alas, the enemy was outnumbered, and it was eventually killed by the cultivators of the two gangs working together.
"Gang Leader Zhou, what are you doing?"
"What am I doing? Naturally, I am wiping out your Black Wind Gang to swallow the Heavenly Demon Bear all for myself!"
"Zhou Tianyi, you will meet a miserable end!"
A burst of cursing suddenly came from below.
High in the sky, Chen An remained silent, looking down at the situation from above.
Seeing that the Red Fire Gang had truly wiped out the Black Wind Gang, he couldn't help but lament that the hearts of men in the world of immortal cultivation are truly sinister.
He then dove down via Sword Flight, intending to play the role of the oriole behind the mantis stalking the cicada for the Red Fire Gang, letting them experience the sinister nature of the cultivation world as well.
