Chapter 62: Chen Xuanxin

Three days after the great battle with the demonic cultivators, a team of cultivators finally arrived. Liu Xingfeng had already been waiting in front of the camp with several Xiaoyao Sect cultivators early in the morning.

This team of cultivators had more than thirty people, led by three Foundation Establishment cultivators. Seeing the people arriving in front, Liu Xingfeng finally set down the worries of the past few days.

"Little sister really didn't expect that this time it would be you, Brother Chen, who came in person."

The leader among the three Foundation Establishment cultivators, an old man with a rather kind appearance, was Chen Xuanxin, a eighth-layer Foundation Establishment cultivator sent by the Xiaoyao Sect to support them.

The other two Foundation Establishment cultivators, one tall and one short, the tall one was named Yuan Shengtang, a sixth-layer Foundation Establishment cultivator, and the other was named Chu Yanlong, whose cultivation was already at the fourth layer of Foundation Establishment, a cultivator who had been at Foundation Establishment for less than thirty years.

Chen Xuanxin wore ordinary gray Daoist robes and looked like a kind and approachable person, but the spiritual power pressure he emitted was the genuine kind that only Foundation Establishment cultivators possessed.

Chen Xuanxin stroked the beard at the corner of his mouth and smiled at Liu Xingfeng, "Haha, Junior Sister Liu is too polite. Hearing that there was news of the demon Yang Wuqi, how could I not come and see? This old demon has slipped through my hands several times, causing me to lose all face in the sect. If I cannot kill this demon, I am afraid I will have this heart disease for the rest of my life."

Liu Xingfeng nodded and said, "Brother Chen, although we found Yang Wuqi's hiding place this time, this demon fought with me a few days ago, and the cave dwelling where they were hiding has already been exposed. He may have already fled this place."

"No matter. I have dealt with this demon for several years and know that this demon is extremely cunning. I have some experience in dealing with this demon. Compared to others who want to find his tracks, it is better for me to come and see for myself, isn't it?"

"Senior Sister Liu, take us to see the old demon's lair first." If they went earlier, perhaps Brother Chen could find Yang Laomo's tracks more easily.

Chu Yanlong on the side had a somewhat anxious temperament and urged Liu Xingfeng and the others.

"Very well, I will have to trouble the two senior brothers and Junior Brother Chu."

Liu Xingfeng also knew that this Junior Brother Chu was a famous impatient person in the sect. Seeing this situation, she quickly seized the time to take Chen Xuanxin and several other Foundation Establishment cultivators toward Yang Wuqi's cave dwelling.

Four sword lights soared into the sky and soon flew to a height of a hundred zhang. For Foundation Establishment cultivators, flying on swords was several times faster than the full speed of Qi Refining cultivators. The two-hundred-li journey took the four of them less than half an hour to arrive.

Seeing the altar that had been destroyed, Chen Xuanxin said somewhat heavily, "We haven't met for several years, and Yang Wuqi has indeed made some progress. Hearing from Junior Sister Liu that when she fought him, this old demon had an extra demonic blade magic treasure."

"That demonic blade used by the old demon that day was very powerful. Fortunately, this magic treasure was not yet complete, otherwise I am afraid it would be very difficult for me to fight this demon."

Liu Xingfeng told the three Foundation Establishment cultivators at the scene in detail about some of the details of the battle with Yang Wuqi that day.

Although Liu Xingfeng's cultivation was one layer lower than Yang Wuqi's, she had two powerful second-grade mid-quality magic treasures, and her fighting ability was not inferior to an average fifth-layer Foundation Establishment cultivator.

However, compared to Yang Wuqi holding the demonic blade, she also felt that her current cultivation and divine abilities were still somewhat lacking.

That day, Yang Wuqi was also afraid that there were other Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Xiaoyao Sect nearby, so he had no intention of fighting Liu Xingfeng and only wanted to escape. It was not until later that Liu Xingfeng pursued him relentlessly that Yang Wuqi had no choice but to use the demonic blade to get rid of Liu Xingfeng's entanglement.

Otherwise, if Yang Wuqi had sacrificed the demonic blade to fight for his life from the beginning, Liu Xingfeng would inevitably have been more seriously injured and might not have been able to retreat unscathed.

After hearing Liu Xingfeng's words, Chen Xuanxin sighed and said with some worry:

"Looking at this situation, what this demon is refining here seems to be this demonic weapon. Once Yang Wuqi refines this magic treasure, I don't know how many people will die at his hands."

Chu Yanlong said, "It seems that this old demon has already left this place. Brother Chen, see if you can find the tracks of this demon, and before Yang Wuqi refines the demonic blade, kill this demon to eliminate future troubles."

"Brother Chen, I will take you to Yang Wuqi and their cave dwelling to see if you can find some tracks of this demon."

The four of them soon arrived at the cave dwelling opened by the demonic cultivators. It was a pity that after Yang Wuqi had been tracked by Chen Xuanxin for several years, his actions had become very cautious and decisive. There were no clues left in the cave dwelling that could allow Chen Xuanxin to track him.

After escaping Liu Xingfeng's entanglement, he sent a sound-transmission to his disciples, informing them of a new meeting point, and then directly abandoned the lair he had painstakingly managed for several years, soon fleeing the Fuyun Mountain Range.

The camp, which had been quiet for several days, became lively again because of the team of Xiaoyao Sect cultivators brought by Chen Xuanxin and the others.

Seeing dozens of cultivators entering the camp, Song Qingming initially thought they were nearby Flying Cloud Guards mobilized by Liu Xingfeng to replace them and continue the mission.

Later, feeling that these cultivators all had a somewhat arrogant appearance, it was not until he went to ask Wei Tong that he learned these people were sent by the Xiaoyao Sect to clear out demonic cultivators.

After Liu Xingfeng and the four returned to the camp, Song Qingming and the other Flying Cloud Guards soon received instructions to retreat to Guiyunfang, and the camp here was handed over to the Xiaoyao Sect cultivators who came to clear out the demonic cultivators.

Gao Yuyao and Xu Ziyan naturally stayed in the camp with their master Liu Xingfeng to help search for the tracks of demonic cultivators.

As the Foundation Establishment cultivator managing the Flying Cloud Guard, Liu Xingfeng also made some timely rewards to Song Qingming and the other eleven guards after the great battle with the demonic cultivators that day.

Including Song Qingming, the few who were still alive all received a merit reward worth twenty spirit stones. Song Qingming and the others could exchange for equivalent spirit items or spirit stones at any time once they returned to the Flying Cloud Guard station in Guiyunfang.

Fearing that they would walk too slowly with several seriously injured personnel and be easily attacked by demonic beasts on the road, Liu Xingfeng specifically arranged for several late-stage Qi Refining Xiaoyao Sect disciples to help protect them and return to Guiyunfang smoothly.

After the battle with the demonic cultivators, Song Qingming's Lieyang Sword was completely damaged not long after, and later it was all thanks to the Wujin Shield magic treasure and the spirit talismans on his body that he persisted until the end.

He originally wanted to find Shi Mofeng to help refine a magic treasure, but now that the old Daoist Shi was seriously injured, he naturally could not help him refine magic treasures in the short term. He could only return the materials from the Flame Rats to Song Qingming. Later, after learning that they were about to return to Guiyunfang, the old Daoist Shi also enthusiastically introduced Song Qingming to a famous weapon refining workshop in Guiyunfang.

After returning to Guiyunfang this time, he would also have to purchase one or two suitable magic treasures to replace the vacancy left by the damaged Lieyang Sword. Now that he was not short of spirit stones, only having this one Wujin Shield magic treasure was indeed a bit shabby.

After Song Qingming and the others left, Chen Xuanxin and several other Xiaoyao Sect Foundation Establishment cultivators searched the Fuyun Mountain Range for two months but could not find the tracks of the demon Yang Wuqi. In the end, they could only return empty-handed to the Xiaoyao Sect.

Gao Yuyao continued to stay in the Flying Cloud Guard with her master Liu Xingfeng for training, while Hu Daozhen and the others were lucky enough to return to Guiyunfang with them.

After leaving the camp, because they were carrying seriously injured people like Lu Yunfei, Song Qingming and the others could only slow down their pace. It was not until half a month later that they returned to Guiyunfang.
