Chapter 1222 - 341: Cloud Descending Sect Incident (4)
Really? Not at all...
Yuchi paused for a moment, pouting a bit, then snapped his fingers. In the man’s smiling eyes, there appeared a watermelon heated in a microwave.
Man, dead.
This time, Yuchi learned his lesson. Instead of saying he’s trapping the opponent inside his Spiritual Energy Barrier, he said he’s trapping them outside of it, mainly to avoid getting bloodstained.
Who knows if the opponent’s blood contains some virus? After all, many viruses are transmitted through blood. It’s better to be slightly cautious in the future.
Kids, have you learned?
Next, using a bamboo stick, he fished the Storage Ring out of the green goo, found a small pond, cleaned the ring thoroughly, and finally checked its contents. Unfortunately, there was still nothing inside the ring to prove it belonged to the Cloud Descending Sect. This was somewhat disappointing; it seems things will have to proceed slowly.
"Now I’m certain the one who ordered the Cloud Descending Sect to kill me is the sect’s Grand Elder."
"Is this guy really someone who goes through with his threats? To be honest, I could make the Grand Elder stop the hunt for Yuan’Er, but there’s no need. Since I’ve already provoked the Cloud Descending Sect, let’s completely eradicate them before they can react."
Yuchi glanced at his increased Dao Points, cheerfully muttering to himself, "It’s definitely not because the Cloud Descending Sect is a wealthy sect."
"Definitely not."
The Dao Points were initially at eight hundred thousand. After acquiring the gold and silver left by this guy, they’ve surprisingly reached one million, making it back to a seven-digit figure.
Which is rather nice.
This is probably because the opponent was quite strong. After all, he dared to cause trouble for Chen Weiran. Also noteworthy is Yuchi’s reason for wanting to eliminate Chen Weiran.
It’s not because he wants to kill Chen Weiran now; the time isn’t right. He primarily wants to assess how much Chen Weiran is worth while observing the stance of Cloud Descending Sect.
Currently, Cloud Descending Sect’s attitude remains ferocious. After being paid, they even killed the Director of the Celestial Capital Department right in front of you.
Kinda fierce!
...
In the following days, Yuchi stayed around to observe the situation.
He soon discovered that the Cloud Descending Sect had quite a bit of business. He saw new orders arriving at the sect every day, with new members dispatched daily to complete assassination missions.
Of course.
In normal circumstances, this wouldn’t concern Yuchi much.
But now, since he intends to completely wipe out the Cloud Descending Sect, he’ll tail any sect disciple who leaves.
Subsequently, he asks them the same three questions he asked the previous man. Once confirming that no one can answer these questions, he immediately takes them away with a Spiritual Energy Burst.
Then picks up the Storage Rings nobody wants off the ground.
Originally at a million Dao Points, after eliminating six people within this week, his coffers soon reached two million, which is quite efficient.
And currently, Cloud Descending Sect remains unaware of this situation. They still don’t know they’ve been completely trapped by Yuchi. Some who completed assignments returned to the sect, both men and women, discussing topics unique to themselves.
For instance, breaking someone’s neck this time, or the words spoken by the person taken out this time right before dying—quite a few of them. They talked as if jesting.
Yuchi himself positioned at the exit.
In his hand appeared a book, a thick ledger detailing all notable persons around Jiangzhou City, their lives already prominently priced. Of course, Yuchi didn’t recognize many, and topping the list was the Observatory’s leader.
Song Qingshan.
His father-in-law himself was surprisingly worth fifty thousand silver taels. Apparently, killing off someone at the Golden Core Stage does require substantial manpower and resources.
"Why don’t I help my father-in-law pay the price here?"
"Isn’t he bored inside the Observatory? I could pay the fee, then send Cloud Descending Sect people after him, let him experience the meaning of a son-in-law’s filial piety?"
Yuchi chuckled to himself. Of course, it’s all in jest. But through this ledger, one can also discover some insights, "It seems the strongest person is my father-in-law, a Cultivator several layers into the Golden Core Stage. Other than Golden Core Stage Cultivators, there’re those at the Core Formation Stage."
"Hence, the Cloud Descending Sect’s ability to handle danger can be deduced as being at the Golden Core Stage. Therefore, their Sect Leader should also be at the Golden Core Stage."
Golden Core Stage, huh.
Previously considered Golden Core Stage to be formidable, especially when first encountering Yuluo; it seemed like a nightmarish entity.
But after seeing many, Golden Core Stage just feels like this, not overwhelmingly strong.
This is mainly due to the previous spectacle at the State Capital, where Nascent Soul Stage cultivators perished for gold and silver, quite a shocking scene.
How many years must one cultivate to reach Nascent Soul Stage?
Following the benchmark set by Qian Qun, she’s now around two thousand, poised to break into Nascent Soul Stage after reaching Spirit Storage Stage. Outside, it’d take thousands of years, meaning a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator must have lived for several millennia—an ancient monster.
