Chapter 116: Usable People
After Qingming had acknowledged a master, and the environment within a hundred li was changing toward the Pure Realm of Humanity, Wei Yuan’s range of perception was slowly growing further and further as well. Right now, he could perceive the birds, fishes, even the insects within several li of him.
It was at this moment Wei Yuan noticed a hundred warriors surrounding the dilapidated house Yun Feifei was hiding at. There were five Dao Foundation stage cultivators among the group, and their leader was none other than the young swordsman whose face had been smashed open by his golden cauldron.
Ten li to the west, there was a group of Shaman fighters. It was dozens strong and boasted two Dao Foundation stage warriors.
At the moment, the young swordsman was looking at his direction with astonishment and puzzlement. He did not understand why the main chamber had collapsed all of a sudden, but he wasn’t worried. The Avatar inside the hall was his clan elder; one who was known for his authority. There was simply no way an accident could befall a high Avatar, which was why the young swordsman decided not to check out the situation.
On the other side, the group of Shaman fighters grew restless all of a sudden. Its two Dao Foundation stage cultivators had gotten to their feet and were pacing back and forth with clear anxiety. Shamans were more perceptive toward the changes in the environment than humans, and right now they could tell that their surroundings no longer felt comfortable. Not only did their skin feel unnaturally dry, it was itching non-stop and causing them to scratch themselves incessantly. It wasn’t long before everyone’s skin was covered in bloody marks.
Wei Yuan furrowed his brow slightly and drew upon his limited knowledge of military strategy, pondering the order of his future actions.
The Great Realm was still manifested in reality, and its sphere of influence was just wide enough to encompass the young swordsman’s group. As Qingming transformed the world around it, wisps of spirit energy were beginning to flow out of the earth and enter his body. Finally, his depleted Dao energy was recovering little by little.
A moment of quick thinking later, Wei Yuan realized that it did not matter who he attacked first. The outcome was the same regardless. Thus, he made the snap decision to charge toward the young swordsman. It made sense to deal with the one who delivered himself to his doorsteps first.
As he took off into a run, two rocks on his Dao Foundation took the shape of a square cauldron. He was running at high speed, yet his footsteps were perfectly soundless. No one, not even the young swordsman, noticed a thing. It was because he was now the master of this heaven and earth and granted the privilege of various benefits and conveniences. On the other hand, his enemies suffered limitations such as reduced senses and sluggish circulation of their Dao energy.
