26: They barely escaped danger in Chapter 26, and then they encountered demonic cultivators?

Tiandao City.

Qin Family.

Inside the main hall.

Clan Leader Qin Bei looked at the Breakthrough pill in his hand, a look of joy appearing on his face.

"With this Medicinal Pill, this Clan Chief will definitely achieve Core Formation!"

"By then, our Qin Family can become the number one aristocratic family in Tiandao City!"

Just as he was deep in thought, a burst of hurried footsteps came from outside the main hall.

Clan Leader Qin Bei raised his eyes to look, and the people who arrived were precisely several Elders of the Qin Family.

"Clan Chief, we searched the entire eastern district of the Baiduan Mountain Range, but we still couldn't find any trace of that person."

Fourth Elder Qin Yunfan stepped forward and said through gritted teeth.

Hearing this, the previous joy on Clan Leader Qin Bei's face quickly faded.

"He was hit by my Spirit Treasure, so he must have left a Spirit Treasure imprint on his body. As long as he approaches within a ten-mile radius, there should be a resonance. How could we not find him?"

He pondered.

Fourth Elder Qin Yunfan said with some worry.

"Clan Chief, that scoundrel is merely at the Early Stage Foundation Establishment, but the strength he displayed just now is comparable to Peak Foundation Establishment. He is definitely no ordinary Cultivator."

"If he is allowed to recover and bring back reinforcements, our Qin Family is likely to be in big trouble!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone cast their gazes onto Clan Leader Qin Bei, waiting for him to make a decision.

Clan Leader Qin Bei frowned slightly before replying.

"What Fourth Elder said is correct. This child was struck by my Spirit Treasure and was still able to escape. He indeed has some ability."

"But everyone need not worry too much. Now that this Clan Chief has already obtained this Breakthrough pill, it won't be long before I achieve Core Formation Breakthrough."

"By then, our Qin Family can hook up with the Cao family of the Qingxuan Sect!"

"Are we still afraid of this tiny scoundrel?"

Hearing this, everyone finally came to their senses, and joy appeared on their faces one after another.

After all, the Qingxuan Sect was the strongest force within a radius of tens of thousands of li.

No matter how strong the forces behind that scoundrel were, could they possibly be stronger than the Qingxuan Sect?

"What Clan Chief says is right!"

"The Cao family is one of the top aristocratic families of the Qingxuan Sect, and they even possess a Nascent Soul Old Ancestor. If our Qin Family can establish a connection with the Cao family, then we can naturally rest easy without worries!"

"Since that is the case, we should quickly make preparations and assist Clan Chief in making a Breakthrough soon!"

"..."

Meanwhile.

Luoyue City, a thousand li away.

Inside a private room of an inn.

After Bai Yunzhou checked the room and confirmed that no one was peeping, he flipped his hand to cast a sound-isolation barrier, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

Then he came to a chair nearby and sat down, taking off his outer garments to reveal the spiritual armor he wore on his body.

He saw that at the neckline of his Medium Grade spiritual armor, there was shockingly a fist-sized depression.

The surface of the spiritual armor had also grown dim and dull; clearly, the Formation within this spiritual armor had been damaged and required repair.

Bai Yunzhou raised his hand to touch the depressed area, and the icy cold sensation transmitted from his fingertips left lingering fears in his heart.

"What on earth is that treasure thrown by that Qin Family Cultivator? Its power is actually so great that even my Medium Grade spiritual armor almost couldn't hold out against it!"

As he spoke, he carefully removed the spiritual armor from his body.

However, as soon as he took off the spiritual armor, he abruptly sucked in a cold breath.

"Hiss!"

A muffled groan of pain spilled from between his teeth.

He saw that on his chest covered by the spiritual armor, a purple-black bruise was striking to the eye. In the center of the bruise was a trace of a fine bloodstain, which was an injury caused by the lingering might of the Spirit Treasure penetrating the spiritual armor.

The flesh and skin around the wound had long since gone numb, and the slightest movement brought a heart-piercing pain.

Bai Yunzhou forcefully endured the pain, taking out a small jade bottle from his Storage Pouch.

He pulled out the stopper, poured out a light cyan Medicinal Pill for healing, and swallowed it with his head tilted back.

Once the Medicinal Pill entered his abdomen, it quickly transformed into a gentle stream of Spiritual Qi that spread throughout his entire body, slightly easing the pain.

Afterward, he took out another bottle of healing ointment, dipped a clean cotton cloth into a small amount of it, and gently applied it to the bruised area.

The moment the ointment touched the wound, a refreshing coolness came over him, relaxing his tense body by a few fractions.

After finishing treating the wound, he then took a clean set of clothes from his Storage Pouch to put on, leaned against the back of the chair, and closed his eyes to regulate his breathing.

It wasn't until several days later that he opened his eyes once more.

Ever since achieving Foundation Establishment Breakthrough, he had reached the state of inedibility, and even if he hadn't eaten for several days, he didn't feel any discomfort.

Afterward, he checked his wound again, stretched his muscles and bones, and after confirming that nothing was wrong, he finally relaxed.

At the same time, recalling the experience from a few days ago in his mind, a trace of fortunate relief flashed across his face.

"Fortunately, I obtained the spiritual armor in advance before going this time, otherwise I really might have fallen into the hands of those Qin Family people."

"However, after this matter, my feud with the Qin Family can be considered completely established!"

"When there is an Opportunity in the future, I will definitely demand an explanation from them!"

Pondering slightly for a moment, he then remembered that he still needed to go to Luoyue Cliff to look for the ten-thousand-year spiritual milk.

"I wonder if this delay of a few days will cause me to run into that 'Blood-Faced Old Demon'."

According to the recent Opportunity of Zhou Zhiting back then, a month later, she came to Luoyue City to perform a Sect mission, and while being chased and killed by the 'Blood-Faced Old Demon', she hid at Luoyue Cliff and discovered the ten-thousand-year spiritual milk.

Yunzhou worried that the 'Blood-Faced Old Demon' might currently be in the vicinity of Luoyue City.

Although with his current strength, if he were to encounter the other party again, he had a great grasp of being able to slay them.

But having the Qin Family's lesson before him, he felt that before taking action, he should still make some preparations first.

Therefore, after leaving the inn, he found a Cultivator shop in Luoyue City and purchased many self-defense items that could be bought.

For example, Talismans, Formation flags, Medicinal Pills, and so on.

Even though these were just some low-grade Talismans and Formations, their quantity was plenty enough.

If he truly encountered the other party and fought with them, at a critical moment it might just have miraculous effects.

After everything was properly prepared, he then left Luoyue City, flying on his sword towards the direction of Luoyue Cliff.

However, not long after he left Luoyue City, he suddenly felt someone chasing after him from behind.

This couldn't help but make him frown slightly.

"Could it be that I really ran into that 'Blood-Faced Old Demon'?"

"It shouldn't be that unlucky!"

Thinking thus, the speed of the Flying Sword under his feet became a bit faster, and very soon he disappeared within a stone forest.

Not long after his figure vanished, two Qi Refining Layer Nine Cultivators poked their heads out.

"What is going on? We actually lost track of him?"

One of them voiced out in confusion.

"Dammit, that's a really fat sheep! I saw him buy so many things!"

The other person appeared rather annoyed.

However, just as this person's voice fell,

"Whoosh!"

A streak of sword light flashed across the air, and the heads of the two instantly hit the ground.

Immediately following that, not far behind the two of them, a figure walked out from the stone forest and came before them.

"Turns out they were just two Qi Refining stage bandit Cultivators, they really gave me a fright!"

Bai Yunzhou breathed a sigh of relief, then waved his hand to take away the Storage Pouches of the two.

But right at this moment, his body suddenly sank, his legs forcefully kicked against the ground, and he instantly leaped into mid-air. At the same time, he summoned his Flying Sword and fled for his life.

Behind him, an angry shout rang out.

"The brat from half a year ago, it really is you!"

"Stop right there!"
