Chapter 461 - 237: The Three Karmic Demon’s Frightened Escape, Slaying the Fake Pill Demon Cultivators

However.

As time gradually passed by.

No support was seen.

The talisman was already showing signs of breaking.

The two fake Pill Demon Cultivators from the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect couldn’t help but smile, and Ye Yue Qingyou’s eyes also burst with fierce killing intent. This time, the Unrestrained Yin Evil Spirit was snatched by that old demon because of the Lu Family.

So, she would not leave any Lu Family member alive today.

"After breaking the talisman, leave no one alive!" Ye Yue Qingyou immediately ordered, activating the array disc to start the pseudo-third-tier trapping array that had long been set up around them.

The Heaven-Reaching River Water rose like stone walls, layer upon layer, covering an area of a thousand feet. Even at full strength, a fake Pill Cultivator could hardly escape. Lu Chan and Leng Sect were well aware of this and felt despair growing in their hearts.

If only they had known.

They wouldn’t have gotten involved in this matter.

Damn it, how did escorting a few second-generation cultivators manage to entangle them with the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect, and even a Demon Pill Demon Cultivator.

Meanwhile, Wen Jiu quietly watched this scene without immediately sending East Spring Undying Bone to save them.

Because there were too many people alive.

Some more had to die.

Otherwise, his lifesaving grace wouldn’t be weighty enough.

As for the Lu Family, in Wen Jiu’s view, if they died, so be it, not to mention these people weren’t any good.

Even if they were, in a cultivation world where the strong prey on the weak, sometimes living is only possible by relying on the mercy of the strong.

If they died.

They deserved it.

Because they were weak.

Wen Jiu was never a merciful person and never placed his hopes of survival on the mercy of others.

Bang—

The talisman shattered on cue.

Lu Chan and Leng Sect couldn’t care about much anymore and immediately charged forward, with only one thought in mind.

Even if they were to die.

They must take a bite out of Ye Yue Lengyou.

"Courting death!"

Ye Yue Lengyou sneered contemptuously, unleashing a black crescent demon artifact of the third tier, which transformed into thousands under the swirling demonic qi, forming a full moon. The full moon fell, instantly enveloping the two, and gradually crushing the talisman and protective spiritual artifact around them, easily stifling Lu Chan and Leng Sect’s charge.

The other two fake Pill Demon Cultivators from the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect charged at the other Lu Family members, yet among them, the strongest was only at Foundation Establishment Perfection. Even if the two fake Pill Demon Cultivators were severely injured, no one could match them.

Whether at the middle stage or late stage of Foundation Establishment, their artifacts were easily broken, and before they could even react, they were struck down by the demon artifacts.

Only Lu Fang was struggling to hold on, protecting Qu Qianqian and two late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators who had already been struck down by the demon artifact.

However, the two fake Pill Demon Cultivators seemed to have no intent to kill Qu Qianqian and the others, instead focusing all their efforts on attacking Lu Fang.

"That’s enough."

In Lengxi Mountain, Wen Jiu immediately controlled East Spring Undying Bone to use Blood Corpse Escape to enter the pseudo-third-tier trapping array, without directly employing the Soul Capturing Technique, choosing instead to use Undying Bone Body to stealthily attack the two.

The Soul Capturing Technique was too recognizable, not suitable for creating a new disguise. However, not using it was fine, as the Undying Bone Body was now comparable to a Golden Core Body Cultivator, undoubtedly what the two severely injured fake Pills could resist.

"Watch out!"

When East Spring Undying Bone suddenly appeared behind one of them, the fake Pill Demon Cultivator next to him immediately sensed the presence.

However.

Just as the words were spoken, the head of the fake Pill Demon Cultivator, who reacted quite swiftly, exploded at this moment.

Bang—

Just one punch.

Together with the body-protecting demon artifact, shattered just the same.

Seeing this, the other Demon Cultivator was horrified, not caring why the Ghost Cultivator pursued by the Golden Core Demon Cultivator could return, nor why he was so powerful, and quickly used an escape technique to flee behind Ye Yue Qingyou.

As for why not escape outward, it was because they were inside a Tier Two Top-Grade traping array, and without the array order, they couldn’t escape.

However.

Just as the escape technique landed.

In the next moment, East Spring Undying Bone also landed, Ghost Hand Condensed Fist, still only one punch to stop his voice abruptly.

"Ye Yue Da—"

Pfft—

Blood splattered, dyeing the night moon in a serene shade.

This sudden scene startled Ye Yue Qingyou, making her hesitant to confront Lu Chan and the others. With an escape technique, she retreated from the trapping array, and a flood of black crescent moons immediately launched towards East Spring’s Undying Bone for the kill.

However, the pseudo-tier three demon artifact that could easily suppress two fake pill cultivators failed to inflict the slightest harm when it struck East Spring’s Undying Bone’s body. Witnessing this scene, Ye Yue Qingyou’s expression drastically changed.

"Impossible!"

Ye Yue Qingyou exclaimed in disbelief, and in the next instant sensed a ghost cultivator’s aura emerging behind her, leaving her even more bewildered. How could the opponent’s escape technique allow them to come and go freely within a tier three array?

Boom——

Wen Jiu accorded Ye Yue Qingyou enough respect and, with a raised hand, unleashed East Spring’s Undying Bone with a hundred blows.

Each punch contained the full force of a Golden Core Body Cultivator, beneath which none could survive.

Feeling the overwhelming threat of death, Ye Yue Qingyou stood frozen, her heart unable to muster any intent of resistance. Though her opponent was supposedly at Foundation Establishment Perfection, why was the ghost body so powerful?

Across the West Mountain Floating Domain, throughout the entire Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect, such an overwhelmingly powerful Foundation Establishment Ghost Cultivator had never been heard of for millennia. She had thought her talent and strength were at the top among fake pill cultivators, enough to look down upon others, but not today, as she couldn’t even compare to a Foundation Establishment Perfection ghost cultivator.

"Who on earth are you?"

Ye Yue Qingyou questioned as she spoke, her tier three body-protecting artifact activating in response, shielding against all of East Spring’s Undying Bone’s punches. Simultaneously, a tier three middle grade escape talisman shattered, instantly whisking Ye Yue Qingyou away.

In the blink of an eye, she was five hundred units away.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, a tier three lower grade body-protecting talisman, a tier three middle grade escape talisman, sure enough, these great sect fake pills."

In Lengxi Mountain, Wen Jiu couldn’t help but sigh.

Perhaps just these two talismans were worth more than everything in the storage bags of everyone present, right?

Wen Jiu didn’t have East Spring’s Undying Bone give chase because who knew what other protective items that woman might have. Instead of risking pursuit of Ye Yue Qingyou, it was better to quickly clear the battlefield and craft a new identity.

Letting Ye Yue Qingyou go wouldn’t expose his identity anyway.

...

The tide of battle reversed.

Two fake pill demon cultivators were dead.

Ye Yue Qingyou fled in defeat.

This scene stirred waves in the hearts of Lu Chan, Leng Sect, and Lu Fang, particularly realizing East Spring’s Undying Bone was merely at Foundation Establishment Perfection, their shock couldn’t settle.

Lu Fang recalled the words and deeds from earlier in the ship, and his heart was mixed with complex feelings. He quickly stepped forward with respect and bowed, "Thank you, fellow Taoist, for saving my life!"

Lu Chan and Leng Sect, relieved, also bowed to East Spring’s Undying Bone, immediately pouring out flattery.

However, compared to others’ flattery, their words were heartfelt.

For if it weren’t for the other party, they surely would have died today.

Wen Jiu controlled East Spring’s Undying Bone and immediately transmitted to everyone, "Establish a silencing spell. You cannot mention today’s events to anyone. If asked, simply say you held out with talismans until now."

Lu Chan, Leng Sect, and a few others quickly nodded.

Daring not to hesitate.

Qu Qianqian and the others did likewise.

Wen Jiu then controlled East Spring’s Undying Bone to clear the battlefield, collecting all the storage bags from the deceased’s area. As for Lu Fang, Lu Chan, and the others’ storage bags, Wen Jiu didn’t take them, since crafting a new alias required their help.

After Lu Chan and the others cast the silencing spell, upon seeing this, they dared not speak further, instead assisting in tidying the uncontrollable pseudo-third-tier trapping array.

Qu Qianqian and the others exchanged glances, and realizing the other party was also from the Divine Fall Mountain Range, they hurriedly stepped forward courteously.

"Senior, I am Qu Qianqian!"

Now she had no protective escort.

This journey’s key figure, Bao Jifei, had already vanished, leaving her no choice but to place her hope in this fellow ghost cultivator from the same region. If he could favor her due to her sister’s connection and offer protection along the way, it would be splendid.

Wen Jiu looked at Qu Qianqian, whose appearance was exquisite and physique stunning, the aura was quite ethereal, immediately bringing to mind the sister who liked finding male furnace cauldrons—Qu Wuyi. Might these two siblings both fancy this?

"Hand over the storage bag."

Wen Jiu, pondering, coldly transmitted through East Spring’s Undying Bone.

Qu Qianqian hesitated for a moment, but seeing East Spring’s Undying Bone’s indifferent face, she dared not hesitate. However, thinking of the many items her sister entrusted her with inside, she could only sigh internally.

After collecting Qu Qianqian and the others’ storage bags, Wen Jiu suddenly looked towards the east of Heaven-Reaching River.

A Golden Core Cultivator was flying over!

In addition, a tier three giant ship followed, with seven or eight fake pill cultivators aboard.

Such a number of fake pill cultivators surely couldn’t be assembled by any ordinary Golden Core Level influence within a few days.

Most likely it’s the Celestial River Guard from West Mountain Floating Domain Lord’s Mansion.
