Heaven Refining physique-Chapter 198: Shameless

Grand Elders and the Supreme Elder were mainly the strongest cultivators in the entire sect. This was true for all sects.

This was the reason they held the highest authority within the sect—even the Sect Master had to bow and listen to them.

"So once the Inheritance Site closed, our cultivators decided to search thoroughly along the borders?"

"Yes, Elder Hong."

"I doubt Huan Caiyi and Zhi Hui are capable enough to pull it off, even with traps. And given that Ze Yu is still alive and inside the Forbidden Zone, there is only one conclusion—they have encountered a grade 8 beast."

The Sect Master nodded. He had also come to the same conclusion.

"What is the possibility that Ze Yu has revealed information about Jiang Hao and Ming Yue to the beasts?"

"One hundred percent."

Hong Yi nodded. There was definitely a reason why Ze Yu was still alive until now.

"Looks like whoever captured Ze Yu wants to find Huan Caiyi and the others, but since Ze Yu is still alive, they haven’t gotten to them yet. Very well, I will go and take a look."

Hong Yi was confident in his ability. Although he was the youngest Grand Elder, he was still at Stage 1 of the Tribulation Ascendance Realm, and he doubted any Grade 9 beast would appear near the borders.

If this matter could be resolved with minimum effort from him, then his eighty years would not have been wasted.

"Elder Hong, we must inform Ethereal Cloud Sanctuary."

"I will go there myself. You need not worry."

The Sect Master nodded and stepped aside. Hong Yi vanished.

...

One month later, two cultivators appeared above the Eastern Region. They were flying so high that even cultivators couldn’t see them with the naked eye.

They were none other than two Grand Elders of the Azure Sky Sect and the Ethereal Cloud Sanctuary—Hong Yi and Yao Heng.

Both were Stage 1 Tribulation Ascendance cultivators.

"To think I have to give up on my seclusion of one hundred forty years for merely four cultivators who haven’t even stepped onto the path of Dao."

"Stop complaining. If these four aren’t eliminated, the destruction of our sects might become our greatest shame."

"Sigh... How worthless our sect disciples and elders have become. After this, I shall have words with every one of them."

"Let’s go. The sooner we complete this mission, the better."

"Hm."

...

Yao Ying was comprehending Fate Laws when she suddenly stopped and looked up. After a moment, she closed her eyes again and paid no further attention.

Similarly, in a dimension inside the ring, Yin Ni opened her eyes briefly and said:

"You should go out for a stroll."

Jiang Hao was cultivating when he heard her voice, and he was surprised.

"Senior, are you bored?"

Jiang Hao was a little doubtful. If she were bored, she could leave the ring herself for a while.

"Well, I just wanted to broaden your horizons. There are two Tribulation Ascendance cultivators heading toward the Forbidden Zone. Don’t you feel like taking one of their attacks to see how it feels?"

Jiang Hao’s eyes widened slightly upon hearing Tribulation Ascendance Realm. Wasn’t it said that they did not act unless the situation was truly unavoidable?

It seemed these sects had decided to go to any lengths. It wasn’t entirely surprising, though.

He didn’t know how many losses they had truly suffered, but they were definitely not insignificant—even for such powerful sects. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

The waste of resources might not hurt them much, but the loss of talents would certainly make them feel the sting.

"Actually, let’s go. Now I want to do something," Yin Ni said.

Jiang Hao felt she was smirking as she said that. It seemed she really wanted to stir up some trouble.

"Senior, will it be alright for you?"

Jiang Hao was a bit concerned. After all, it would be his spirit stones that would be used for any mischief she caused.

"Tsk... I can already feel what you’re thinking. So you think your spirit stones are more valuable than the life of two Tribulation Ascendance cultivators?

Don’t you want them to truly feel what despair is?

Even the loss of a single Tribulation Ascendance cultivator is immense for sects from the lower world. Stop being stingy and let’s go."

Jiang Hao was speechless. She seemed more eager than him to do this. Well, it didn’t sound bad.

"Senior, in which direction?"

"Go to the place where your mountain was. With their speed and spirit sense, it won’t be difficult for them to find you."

Jiang Hao nodded and teleported to the exact location. Just as he arrived, he felt someone watching him.

"Don’t worry about anything. If they use their will to attack, it won’t work as long as I’m here. Your protective barrier won’t even need to be opened. We won’t need much time anyway. I’ll act the moment they come close enough. Otherwise, more spirit stones would be consumed if I do it now."

Jiang Hao nodded inwardly but didn’t react externally, as he was being observed.

It didn’t even take a second before two old cultivators appeared in front of him. They weren’t ancient, but definitely past their prime.

"What do we have here? A Soul Sea Realm cultivator at the border of the Forbidden Zone."

Yao Heng sneered a little. It was quite a surprising indeed. They had just arrived and, by sheer luck, found one of their targets.

Hong Yi was pleased as well. It seemed their fortune was not bad. With Jiang Hao in their hands, finding the others wouldn’t take long.

The only thing that disturbed him slightly was the look in Jiang Hao’s eyes, and how he had appeared out of nowhere. He hadn’t sensed any spatial fluctuations—so it was clear that Jiang Hao had not used any minor teleportation talismans.

Well, it didn’t matter. Jiang Hao could act brave all he wanted. It was normal for someone who had always tasted victory. Now that he stood before them, he could forget about even thinking of escaping.

"Jiang Hao... you’ve truly become a headache for us despite your meager cultivation realm. I suppose it was fun while it lasted, wasn’t it?"

Hong Yi spoke, showing no urgency in capturing Jiang Hao.

Jiang Hao watched everything calmly. He was honestly quite amused by their words.

"It is true that the cultivation realms of myself and my companions are meager before mighty figures like you. But to hunt us, two Tribulation Ascendance Realm cultivators have come... I wonder, do you two even know that the word shameless exists in this world?"
