Chapter 195: Chapter 140: A Desperate Dog Will Leap Over a Wall!
Golden Spring City was almost turned to ruins by a single punch from the Memory Illusion.
It seemed that the Evil Cultivators and those corpses used as Blood Sacrifice materials also turned to ash with that punch.
Although Su Ping hadn’t been able to save the citizens of the entire city, he did manage to prevent their desecration by Evil Cultivators.
When looked at that way, had he not done another great deed of immeasurable merit?
Even though there was no longer any Evil Qi around, Su Ping, who was temporarily without Memory Illusions, still didn’t plan on entering the city to clean up the battlefield.
Instead, he entrusted this heavy task to the Spiritual Rats White and Grey.
As Spiritual Rats, they had an astonishingly keen intuition for rare items in the Immortal Cultivation World.
In their diligent search,
Su Ping found quite a few precious material fragments among the ruins of Golden Spring City.
They seemed to be the contents of the black-robed elders’ storage bags.
Clearly, the storage bags couldn’t withstand the power of the North Dipper Greedy Wolf Fist and broke instantly, causing the contents to scatter.
The inferior quality ones were naturally obliterated by the shockwaves, while the better ones maintained their general shape and were blown to the surroundings of the battlefield.
Additionally, within the crate crater that was once the City Lord Mansion,
White managed to dig out a top-grade Spirit Stone.
Su Ping guessed that the activation of the Blood Sacrifice Array relied on this top-grade Spirit Stone that was priceless in the market.
However,
“Between the Second Tier talismans exchanged for life and the rare top-grade Spirit Stone,”
“the team these three Evil Cultivator elders belong to… they’re a deep well!”
“Is it possible that their activities in Golden Spring City were just one tentacle of a vast, evil organization?”
“Fortunately, the guilty have their retribution. If anyone seeks revenge, let them find Yun Kong, the Exorcism Mage!”
With this in mind, Su Ping’s Divine Sense swept over Songdou and his companion lying unconscious in the dense forest.
He decided to spare their dog lives.
However, having offended him and colluded with Evil Cultivators, they could escape death but not punishment!
With a thought from Su Ping, two syringes appeared in mid-air, held by a Divine Skills arm, which injected the liquid condensed from dozens of waste pills into the two men’s bodies.
In their unconscious state, they both showed pained expressions.
Due to the previous battle, their meridians were already ruined, and their Cultivation was reduced to that of a cripple.
In the world of Immortal Cultivation, this issue wasn’t too big—hard-hearted use of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures could still give them a chance to start over.
But now, having been injected with so much waste pill liquid and completely contaminated by Pill Poison, they were in a dire situation.
They were like Loose Cultivators who grew up consuming waste pills.
Even with naturally great talent, they were ruined, and aside from Su Ping, the initiator, no one in the Immortal Cultivation World could clean these Pill Poisons.
“Hm?”
The source of this c𝓸ntent is freewebnøvel.coɱ.
Not long after Su Ping had silently finished all this, he noticed that White and Grey had found several Jade Scrolls and wooden tablets among the ruins.
Su Ping was familiar with the wooden tablet; Young Master Songdou had relied on it to save his life.
He hadn’t expected the tablet to be so sturdy, able to remain intact even after his punch.
And these few Jade Scrolls… it was clear at a glance they were all tainted with Evil Qi.
They must have been spared because of the Evil Qi’s protection.
Dealing with these Evil Qi Jade Scrolls, Su Ping already had the experience and was not in a hurry.
He waited until White and Grey had scoured Golden Spring City over and over again and could no longer find anything valuable.
Only then did Su Ping recall them and quietly left this place of strife.
About five or six two-hour periods after Su Ping left Golden Spring City,
An Immortal Boat quickly arrived above the city.
Immediately, several Golden Light monks flew down from the deck, quickly noticing Golden Spring City’s abnormalities.
“Hm?”
“Amitabha, it seems a Taoist friend has taken the initiative to eliminate the Evil Cultivators here before us!”
“Our Buddha is merciful, pity the world’s suffering is so vast.”
“The residual Formation traces in this city… it’s the Blood Sacrifice Array of the Black Nether Sect!”
“Quickly report to the Great Golden Light Temple! Traces of the Black Nether Sect have been found near Golden Spring City!”
One of the monks, wearing a red Kasaya, said somberly:
“It seems the informer did not lie; they truly could have used a Blood Sacrifice on the entire city!”
“No, such a big event couldn’t have been prepared in just a day or two. How could the nearby Cultivation forces have not noticed anything?”
“And the Song family of the Cultivator Alliance is also suspected of being involved with the Black Nether Sect!”
“Where is the largest Cultivation power located nearby?”
The monks seemed to realize something and their expressions changed as they flew back to the Immortal Boat.
They also noticed the unconscious Songdou and his companion in the dense forest.
After reaching the Immortal Boat, one of the monks threw a Treasure Bottle, directly sucking in the two unconscious men as witnesses to take away!
If all the information was accurate, at least the Song family within the Cultivator Alliance couldn’t escape their association with Evil Cultivators!
Not long after this Immortal Boat, rumored to have a Buddhist Sect background, departed,
As many as ten more Immortal Boats arrived one after another.
Even one of the large Immortal Boats had a Combat Puppet floating above it, standing at fifty meters tall and covered in Golden Armor, showing the importance they placed on this matter.
At the same time,
Su Ping was in a cave, feeding the Evil Qi Jade Scrolls to a captured large rat, and then, with the help of a Purification Potion, he managed to clean the Jade Scrolls of Evil Qi in exchange for the rat’s baldness.
Only then did Su Ping take his gains back into the Pot Cave Heaven to read the contents of these Jade Scrolls.
Several of the Jade Scrolls mainly recorded various Evil Techniques,
Especially those concerning how to use the pervasive Evil Qi to corrupt living beings.
Su Ping gained some insights.
Of course, Su Ping himself had no intention of using these Spells, but understanding the key aspects meant he could better prevent these Evil Techniques.
Of course, that could only be Su Ping.
Other cultivators with such thoughts often found that the more they knew, the easier it was for evil qi to erode and corrupt them into evil cultivators.
Therefore, in the Immortal Cultivation World, knowledge related to evil cultivators was typically exterminated.
Privately keeping evil techniques was, at least publicly, absolutely forbidden in all major sects.
Apart from these evil techniques, the last jade scroll was not a cultivation technique, but rather a set of admonitions from the Black Nether Sect elders to their followers, along with their insights and experiences with related arrays.
“Black Nether Sect?”
Upon seeing this name, Su Ping murmured it to himself and then recalled it in his mind.
He found he knew very little about this power.
In his memory, it was only mentioned in a few diaries stored in some cultivation families’ archives.
This seemed to be a demon path sect that was originally active in the north.
They were like those tenacious and irritating cockroaches that couldn’t be stamped out, despite being consistently targeted by the Chi Yuan Immortal Sect.
For hundreds of years, they had continued to stubbornly survive.
However, no major incidents had occurred as they were suppressed by the Immortal Sect.
Now that the Chi Yuan Immortal Sect had retracted their influence, the north had fallen into a paradise for evil demons due to the Evil Qi Tide.
Had the Black Nether Sect also moved south from the north to expand here?
Having finished the content of the jade scroll, Su Ping did get some answers.
The three robed elders were elite disciples of the Black Nether Sect.
Their coming to Golden Spring City was not a spur-of-the-moment act for these evil cultivators.
It was part of a larger plan.
Moreover, Su Ping noticed the jade scroll mentioned a pill called the Soul Stabilizing Pill.
It seemed that the Black Nether Sect used this pill as a reward for their internal disciples and partners to incentivize them to serve.
“Soul Stabilizing Pill?”
“It’s a pity that pills are too fragile; I don’t have a finished product to analyze.”
“However, from the name and the abnormalities of the evil cultivators I encountered, perhaps this pill could prevent the evil cultivators from losing themselves too quickly while using evil techniques?”
“So, is this also the reason and confidence that this demon path sect allows disciples to become evil cultivators?”
“But, this is playing with fire. Those robed elders still seemed to be influenced by the evil techniques in their self-awareness and emotions. It wouldn’t be surprising if they lost themselves one day!”
“However, perhaps this level of risk is acceptable in the eyes of the demon path? After all, the risk of studying other demon path skills might not be lower than these evil techniques?”
Su Ping rested in the Pot Cave Heaven until the Memory Wand’s cooldown ended.
Only then did he return to the Immortal Cultivation World.
But, he did not go back to Nine Leaf Mountain Workshop.
Instead, after looking at the map, he headed for the nearest cultivation family outpost.
With the Memory Illusion, Su Ping grew a bit bolder.
Realizing that this was not an isolated incident in Golden Spring City,
Su Ping guessed that after the incident, it would force some forces colluding with evil cultivators to make desperate moves!
This was a great opportunity to take advantage of chaos, oh, no… to act the hero and eliminate demons!
He couldn’t miss it!
There were originally three cultivation families in the region closest to Golden Spring City.
However, with problems in the Immortal Sect, two of them had fled to the Overseas Islands.
There were a few family members who had stayed to hold the fort, but after Cloud Mountain Workshop was occupied and there was no response from the Immortal Sect,
these two families just completely withdrew, selling off their ancestral grounds at a very low price to other sect powers that came to take over.
These sects took over, but they only sent over a few people to act as watchmen.
The only remaining force that could be considered a local tyrant was the Golden Spring Bai Family from the Immortal Cultivation families.
The Golden Spring Bai Family was also considered an old family within the Immortal Sect, having been founded 800 years ago by the direct descendants of a True Disciple.
But in the last few hundred years, although the Golden Spring Bai Family had produced Inner Sect disciples and several inner and outer sect deacons,
there had been no more geniuses at the level of True Disciple born in the family.
As the first and second generation elders gradually died of old age or accidental deaths,
the Golden Spring Bai Family had been in decline year by year.
Now, the only thing propping up the Bai Family was a Supreme elder at the Foundation Establishment stage who was not in Golden Spring City, but could not leave the main peak.
However, in terms of family heritage, the Golden Spring Bai Family was definitely the cream of the crop in this region.
The fact that they could occupy a second-tier low-grade Spirit Vein as their family residence spoke volumes.
Additionally, the second-tier top-grade Big Array guarding the residence, having been modified and strengthened by many old ancestors,
was on par with the protective formations of the large workshops.
Moreover, each generation had left behind some Spiritual Artifacts and Spiritual Beasts to protect the lineage.
The Golden Spring Bai Family thus had more capability to defend themselves than other Immortal Cultivation families, and after weighing the pros and cons,
they only sent a small portion of their members to the Overseas Islands.
The main lineage and the majority of the family members still lived on the family grounds, and even after the turmoil in Cloud Mountain, they took in some Loose Cultivators to strengthen their manpower.
When Su Ping arrived at the mountain where the Golden Spring Bai Family was situated,
he saw more than a dozen Immortal Boats continuously attacking the Bai Family’s protective array.
Brilliant ripples surged upon the dark red light screen.
From afar, Su Ping noticed something abnormal about the Golden Spring Bai Family as well.
Although he couldn’t see clearly because of the formation,
he could sense a sinister red light shining from inside,
and vaguely pick up on an aura similar to a Blood Sacrifice Array.
Clearly… those in the Golden Spring Bai Family who had colluded with evil cultivators realized that the incident had occurred, so they chose to make a desperate move.
They sacrificed the entire Bai Family and used the family array to buy time!
