Chapter 91 Demonic Cultivators Appear

In the Boundless Forest, Chen Li was cleaning up the traces of the battle.

Suddenly, the Spirit Cat in the spirit beast pouch stirred, so Chen Li released it.

The cat meowed and pointed in a direction for Chen Li; Chen Li saw that it was the direction of Duan Ya Mountain.

"Is there still something over at Duan Ya Mountain?" Chen Li guessed the Spirit Cat's intention.

The cat meowed twice.

Chen Li nodded, understanding the little cat's intention. After finishing cleaning up, he flew on his sword back toward Duan Ya Mountain.

...

One day later, Chen Li appeared outside a pavilion. A simple first-grade defensive Formation was set up outside, which Chen Li easily broke through before walking inside.

The pavilion was divided into three floors. The Spirit Cat led him to the second floor. Chen Li scanned with his Divine Sense and found no Cultivators, only one Mortal.

On the second floor, the Mortal maid was staring blankly into the distance, her eyes revealing numbness and despair. Seeing Chen Li come up, she thought those Immortal Master Ma and the others had returned.

She had long been used to not seeing them return for a few days; they would go out every so often, but this trip was quite long!

Turning her head and seeing Chen Li, she was a bit dumbfounded.

The Spirit Cat meowed a few times at this Mortal maid and then pointed to the third floor for Chen Li.

"Immortal Master, are you here to look for Immortal Master Ma?"

Chen Li was stunned. Seeing she was a Mortal, he asked, "What is your relationship with them?"

"I am a maid."

Chen Li looked into the Mortal maid's eyes and knew what was going on. He said, "They are already dead; you can leave."

The Mortal maid seemed unable to believe it. "Really?"

Chen Li nodded, then ignored the Mortal maid and walked up to the third floor.

Seeing Chen Li leave, a glimmer of light appeared in the maid's dull eyes. Heaven had eyes. She bowed to Chen Li's figure and walked out of the pavilion.

On the third floor, the Spirit Cat pointed to a room.

Chen Li saw some Restrictions set up outside the room's door. A minute later, the Restrictions were lifted.

Walking into the room, there were many herbs of relatively young age, as well as quite a few Magical Artifacts and low-grade spiritual items. It seemed they had robbed many people.

The Spirit Cat jumped onto a box and meowed at Chen Li!

Chen Li picked up the box and opened it, discovering a small piece of thunder bamboo root.

The Spirit Cat jumped back onto Chen Li's shoulder. What was this?

Chen Li began to carefully examine the root. When his Divine Sense and mana probed inside, he discovered a trace of lightning power being released.

Seeing this, the Spirit Cat gestured to Chen Li. Chen Li could roughly guess its meaning: this lightning power could suppress Devilish Qi or evil Cultivators, and its age could reach ten thousand years.

Chen Li understood. To others, it might be useless, but he had the Divine Jade that could accelerate growth!

The longer the age, the more lightning power it would have!

Chen Li learned that this cat did not originally belong to Immortal Master Ma, but was robbed from a Sect Disciple who had come out for training; this thunder bamboo root had been obtained by robbing that Sect Disciple.

Chen Li put away the thunder bamboo root and packed up all the low-grade spiritual items. A few minutes later, Chen Li left the pavilion.

...

On a mountain path, after the Mortal maid came out, she tried to follow the mountain path home, but she got lost.

At this moment, her heart died!

Suddenly, a person with nine snakes circling their head appeared, emitting a sinister Yin Qi.

The Mortal maid was startled and only heard this person speak.

"Little girl, I see that your heart is filled with hatred and unwillingness. Join my Dao, and even a Mortal can practice cultivation."

The Mortal maid seemed to be no longer afraid; she didn't even fear death now.

She thought of those evil Immortals who burned, killed, and looted, treating Mortals like ants. She craved power to slaughter these evil Immortals.

She calmly looked at this sinister Cultivator. "Okay."

...

After coming out, Chen Li wandered around the vicinity of Duan Ya Mountain again. He prepared to go to the Taixuan Sect next.

He bought quite a few Talismans here in the Cultivation Market to replenish his resources.

At this moment, he was in a Talisman shop in the Cultivation Market when suddenly many people outside shouted.

Chen Li immediately released his Divine Sense to gather information.

"True Person Bai has arrived; entry and exit from the Cultivation Market are prohibited!"

"Ah? Why?"

"I heard Lin Feng is dead!"

"True Person Bai said that he kept a soul lamp for the Late Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators who paid tribute to him in this vicinity. Yesterday, Lin Feng's soul lamp went out!"

"Ah? To dare to kill a Late Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator, wouldn't that mean they must be at the Foundation Establishment Perfection or False Core Realm?"

"Is True Person Bai here to find the murderer?"

"I don't know. It's said that all incoming Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators must go over for questioning."

Chen Li frowned and exerted his Qi Concealment Art with all his might, suppressing his aura. He was already prepared to run.

Suddenly, a wave of Divine Sense enveloped the entire Cultivation Market. Chen Li felt it; at this moment, the Golden Core Cultivator's Divine Sense had also scanned over him.

Chen Li thought to himself, 'I won't be exposed, will I?'

If they used a trick to inspect Storage Pouches, he would be directly exposed. Damn it, if he had known, he would have left earlier.

Just when he was about to be exposed, the enveloping Divine Sense quickly dissipated and withdrew. Suddenly, screams rang out from outside.

"Ah! It's a Devilish Cultivator! Everyone run!"

At this moment, Chen Li saw Devilish Qi spreading throughout the Cultivation Market. Devilish Cultivators with strength comparable to the middle or Late Foundation Establishment Stage were on a killing spree.

He could also hear True Person Bai's angry rebuke: "Very well, you've infiltrated my territory! You devilish brats, die!"

By a twist of fate, True Person Bai had flushed out these lurking Devilish Cultivators. Within a few breaths, Chen Li followed the crowd and escaped the Cultivation Market, though many Devilish Cultivators also fled in other directions.

True Person Bai followed closely behind these Devilish Cultivators.

Chen Li immediately changed direction and flew toward the Taihu Mountain Range. He had thought there were no Devilish Cultivators infiltrating near Nanwu Kingdom? It turned out they had just been lurking.

Chen Li had to abandon his plan to go to the Taixuan Sect for now. Plans could not keep up with changes; the strength of these Devilish Cultivators could not be underestimated.

He had just obtained the thunder bamboo root, which he could take back to accelerate its growth and forge a few Flying Swords with strong lightning attributes.

In Yuanwu Prefecture, at a Cultivation Market in the prefecture city, a medium-sized shop was being renovated.

Chen Songli was currently inside the shop.

Suddenly, Chen Li arrived. Chen Songli smiled and said, "Father, you're back!"

Chen Li nodded and told her about the Devilish Cultivators. Chen Songli was shocked.

Chen Li told her not to panic and to return home first to formulate a prevention plan.

At Black Magpie Mountain, the sun was bright today!

Chen Li asked Chen Songli to tell the others, while he went to the Great Sun Seed Jade Immortal Cave to plant that small piece of bamboo root first.

Inside Morning Sun Hall, seven people gathered.

Zhu Lingyue already knew about the matter; these Devilish Cultivators were too cunning.

"I presume everyone already knows about the matter. There should be quite a few Devilish Cultivators infiltrating Nanwu Kingdom; they must just haven't been exposed yet."

"Therefore, I returned today firstly to notify you of this news, and secondly, to prepare for sneak attacks by the Devilish Cultivators!"

Everyone knew that items with lightning attributes could suppress these Devilish Cultivators, so everyone should carry some lightning-attributed Magical Artifacts or Talismans when going out during this period.

Chen Songxiao said, "I can forge weapons like blades and swords with lightning attributes!"

Chen Songli also said, "I will set up a Teleportation Array at the shop so we can teleport back in time, and I also plan to create some Formations with lightning attributes."

Several people thought of solutions one by one. Chen Li said, "Good. Since everyone has a solution, I will also prepare to make some Magical Artifacts with strong lightning attributes later, so everyone will have one in their hands!"
