36: Chapter 36: Tian Lei Zi's Glorious Achievements!
"Junior Brother, don't worry, nothing will happen."
The Girl in Green Dress pursed her lips and smiled, speaking softly to reassure him. It seemed she thought Zhao Changsheng was scared and wanted to retreat, which was why she said this.
Regarding the Girl in Green Dress's words, Zhao Changsheng could only sigh lightly in his heart. All that was left was for him to prepare more thoroughly.
Just like that, the two of them traveled without another word, and Zhao Changsheng made ample preparations precisely to prevent any accidents.
Soon, the two arrived at a place that was both remote and extremely dark.
This was the Cold Palace of the imperial palace. Finding this place was also Zhao Changsheng's deliberate doing, because he knew very well that the real Sect Master of the Black Fiend Cult was inside this Cold Palace, and not in another Incarnation.
"Senior Sister, if nothing unexpected happens, the real Sect Master of the Black Fiend Cult should be inside here. However, it's not suitable for us to alert the enemy. We must act slowly. Only then can we achieve a one-hit kill to avoid any mishaps."
Zhao Changsheng's words caused the Girl in Green Dress to frown, then she pointed somewhat uncertainly at the Cold Palace not far away.
"Are you sure the real Devil Head is inside?"
"I guarantee there won't be any problems, Senior Sister. Please rest assured."
Afterwards, Zhao Changsheng didn't hide much and explained how the real Sect Master of the Black Fiend Cult had refined an Incarnation, used that Incarnation to command other Black Fiend Cult Cultivators, while he himself hid in the Cold Palace to Cultivate and cover his tracks.
"If what you say is true, then this Sect Master of the Black Fiend Cult is truly cautious enough."
After listening to Zhao Changsheng's words, the Girl in Green Dress nodded.
"If he weren't cautious enough, how could he have survived until now, let alone developed such a large Devil Sect? So we must be extra careful and absolutely cannot be the slightest bit careless. What we need to do now is lure him out under the pretext of rescuing him, then strike suddenly. Strive for a one-hit kill, leaving no future trouble. Even if we can't kill him in one hit, we must severely injure him. That way, our chances of exterminating him later will be much greater."
"And once his main body dies, that Incarnation will naturally cease to exist."
Zhao Changsheng continued.
"You really think things through, and you really know a lot."
The Girl in Green Dress gave Zhao Changsheng a meaningful look and said with deep implication.
"This is also something I just guessed; I didn't think of it before. It was mainly deduced from what those Black Fiend Cult Cultivators said earlier. So I can only say I'm clever enough, not that I know a lot."
Zhao Changsheng chuckled and boasted about himself.
"Pah, how shameless!"
Regarding the reason Zhao Changsheng gave, the Girl in Green Dress rolled her eyes without any courtesy.
"Senior Sister, do you have any means for a one-hit kill? Whether it's a Divine Ability or some other treasure, anything is fine as long as it can achieve a one-hit kill and must be capable of exterminating a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator, preferably a Late Stage one. I'm worried this Sect Master of the Black Fiend Cult might really be a Late Stage Cultivator."
Zhao Changsheng pressed further.
"No. If Eldest Senior Sister were here, perhaps she could, because among the Divine Abilities she Cultivates, there is one that can achieve a one-hit kill against Cultivators of the same Realm. But the drawback is also significant—it requires a lot of time. If there isn't enough time, it can't be executed and might even lead to backlash. So unless absolutely necessary, Eldest Senior Sister rarely uses that Divine Ability."
The Girl in Green Dress shook her head, her expression somewhat gloomy as she spoke.
"But don't you have the talisman treasure Revered Master gave you? As long as you use that thing, naturally you can achieve a one-hit kill."
The Girl in Green Dress suddenly realized and then said with a somewhat dissatisfied expression.
"I just wanted to save some trouble. Senior Sister, your powers are vast and mighty, certainly surpassing mine. Besides, I plan to keep that thing as my trump card. As for exterminating that Sect Master of the Black Fiend Cult, I have a better choice."
After speaking, Zhao Changsheng took out a blue orb the size of a walnut.
When she saw this blue orb, the Girl in Green Dress's expression immediately changed.
"heavenly thunder seed! I never imagined you actually possess such a treasure. When did you obtain such a treasure? With such a treasure, what are you worried about the Sect Master of the Black Fiend Cult for? Just throw this thing over, and anyone below the Core Formation Stage will almost certainly be exterminated upon contact, with almost no chance of survival. Decades ago, I was fortunate enough to witness it once—two Late Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators were directly exterminated by a single heavenly thunder seed."
The Girl in Green Dress blurted it out almost without thinking, and a flush of excitement appeared on her face, as if a great burden had been lifted from her shoulders.
Previously, she was worried she couldn't protect Zhao Changsheng's safety. Now it seemed she had purely overthought it; her Junior Brother's preparations were too thorough.
"Relying solely on this one heavenly thunder seed, I'm afraid it's completely insufficient, so we must be extra careful."
Zhao Changsheng still shook his head, not as happy as the Girl in Green Dress.
"Alright, no more talking. I'll go in and bring the person out. You hide here. Once I've distanced myself from him, you immediately throw this heavenly thunder seed."
"As long as nothing unexpected happens, I guarantee he will die without a doubt."
The Girl in Green Dress didn't take Zhao Changsheng's worries to heart at all and directly prepared to take action.
"Then Senior Sister must be extremely careful, absolutely must be careful, and absolutely cannot be the slightest bit careless, lest he suddenly ambushes you."
Hearing the Girl in Green Dress's words, Zhao Changsheng once again reminded her, sounding somewhat verbose.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen."
The Girl in Green Dress was also getting a bit impatient listening to him. She waved her hand and immediately set off towards the Cold Palace gate, opening it with a bang.
The guards watching the gate were instantly killed by her. For a Late Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator like her, killing two Qi Refinement Stage Cultivators was all too easy, a matter of an instant.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Changsheng could only sigh helplessly.
Immediately after, he completely concealed his physical form and aura, revealing not the slightest trace.
At the same time, his eyes were fixed intently on the Cold Palace gate.
Inside the Cold Palace, the Girl in Green Dress had already found the real Sect Master of the Black Fiend Cult. At this moment, the Sect Master of the Black Fiend Cult was cowering in a corner as if frightened, trembling all over, and kept saying:
"Immortal Revered Master, spare my life!"
"Immortal Revered Master, spare my life!"
That trembling, pitiful appearance made the Girl in Green Dress begin to doubt Zhao Changsheng's words. But on the surface, she still didn't show any abnormality and instead tried her best to soothe him in a gentle voice:
"Don't be afraid, I'm here to save you!"
...After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Zhao Changsheng personally saw the Girl in Green Dress leading a trembling middle-aged man out of the Cold Palace.
