I Outworked the Entire Cultivation World-Chapter 170 - 144

"Who goes there!"

Two Feather Clan extraordinary people blocked the way, hovering in the air with wings flapping, long weapons pointing at Jiang Yuebai.

If they hadn’t seen the Seven Evils Banner in her hand, they would have attacked already.

Jiang Yuebai tossed the Token into the air, "I’m new here, coming to deliver a message."

The Token projected the image of the female cultivator. The two extraordinary individuals carefully examined it, while Jiang Yuebai held her head high without fear, as if daring them to take a closer look.

Divine Sense and Heavenly Eye Technique scanned Jiang Yuebai’s entire body and found nothing amiss. The two extraordinary people exchanged a glance, then looked at Zhao Fuyi behind Jiang Yuebai, and let out a short whistle.

Two male cultivators from Three Elements Sect emerged from hiding, one at Early-Stage Foundation Establishment, the other at Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment.

The extraordinary people handed the Token to the mid-aged male cultivator, Dong Kun, at Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment, and retreated into a vigilant stance as the other Early-Stage Foundation Establishment cultivator stood silently by.

Dong Kun held the Token, scrutinizing Jiang Yuebai up and down, "How did you sneak in? Did anyone uncover your identity?"

Jiang Yuebai chuckled, "I followed Duan Yingfei from the Sun Erosion Sect, provoked them into a fight with the Heavenly Interence Sect on the way, both sides suffered, and I seized the chance to kill Duan Yingfei and escape."

Jiang Yuebai took out the Sun Erosion Sect Tokens belonging to Duan Yingfei and Ding Yan. Dong Kun took them to inspect, and then asked, "You said you were here to deliver a message, what is it?"

Jiang Yuebai glanced around, leaned in slightly, and whispered, "Among the Heavenly Interence Sect disciples that fought with Duan Yingfei’s team, there was a direct disciple of Lii Jiuchuan. I learned from her that her master suppressed her cultivation to enter as well."

Dong Kun was shocked, "Impossible! The master has made thorough arrangements, there’s no way Lii Jiuchuan could sneak in."

Jiang Yuebai looked troubled, "I’m not sure if it’s real either, the advance camp is already sealed, I had no choice but to come here to report."

"And I overheard that Lii Jiuchuan’s direct disciple mentioned her master has past ties with True Monarch Fuyi, could Lii Jiuchuan have sneaked in to secretly protect True Monarch Fuyi?"

Behind Jiang Yuebai, Zhao Fuyi’s face, hidden under a mask, contorted as she struggled to endure.

Dong Kun scrutinized Jiang Yuebai again, his gaze landing on Zhao Fuyi in the back, and frowned.

"You belong to the Ghost Spirit Sect, why do you have corpse control?"

Zhao Fuyi felt a shiver in her heart, but Jiang Yuebai just sneered.

"Senior brother, you don’t understand, these days it’s tough for us Holy Sect disciples to get by. Having another skill gives us a better chance to survive, and who says members of the Ghost Spirit Sect can’t learn techniques from the Profound Corpse Sect?"

Jiang Yuebai leaned in a bit, "Besides, the three sects secretly compete. If I can’t continue with the Ghost Spirit Sect, having this corpse control skill makes it easier to switch to the Profound Corpse Sect, don’t you think, senior brother?"

Dong Kun was taken aback, "Makes sense."

These days, it’s tough everywhere. Even this nobody in front of him is working hard, he figured he might also need to learn another skill so he wouldn’t be outdone!

Dong Kun withdrew his thoughts and approached Zhao Fuyi, "Your corpse control looks good, where did you get it? That slim waist..."

Dong Kun reached for Zhao Fuyi’s waist, causing her heart to skip a beat.

Smack!

Dong Kun’s hand was snatched by Jiang Yuebai, her eyes cold.

"This corpse used to be someone I greatly respected, but unfortunately, she looked down on me and humiliated me publicly. In a fit of anger, I killed her when she was wounded and put a lot of effort into refining her into a puppet. I don’t want anyone else to touch her but me."

Jiang Yuebai shook off Dong Kun’s hand. Dong Kun was somewhat displeased and was about to speak, but Jiang Yuebai flipped her hand to reveal five Mid-Grade Spiritual Stones, secretly passing them to Dong Kun.

"Little sister is young and ignorant, please don’t mind me, senior brother. These Spirit Stones are all I have, consider it my apology. Honestly, it doesn’t matter to me whether the message is delivered or not. It’s more appropriate for you to report such important news. The advance camp is filled with fleeing cultivators from various sects, and I don’t want to get caught up in that mess. I just want to live a few more days, I hope you’ll be lenient, senior brother."

Dong Kun discreetly accepted the Spirit Stones and handed back the Token.

"I understand, if it weren’t for survival, no one would want to risk their neck doing this. I’ll report the news, you can go ahead."

Dong Kun gestured to the two extraordinary people to move aside. Jiang Yuebai gracefully bowed and secretly signaled Zhao Fuyi with a glance as she passed through between the two extraordinary individuals. Zhao Fuyi followed rigidly.

"Wait a moment!"

Just as they were about to pass, the Early-Stage Foundation Establishment male cultivator, who had been silent, suddenly stopped Jiang Yuebai.

Jiang Yuebai’s scalp tightened, but she maintained a relaxed demeanor, turned, and asked with a smile, "What is it?"

"A major incident happened in the Sun Erosion Sect not long ago, do you know what it was?"

Jiang Yuebai’s fingers tensed, and Zhao Fuyi stopped behind her, the atmosphere tense.

Jiang Yuebai laughed while walking back, "Of course I know, how could I not know about such a big incident, wasn’t it... Zhao Fuyi!"

Suddenly shouting, Jiang Yuebai glared behind them, and amidst their moment of distraction, she immediately summoned the Eight Arrays Plate, and dense white mist instantly engulfed the narrow valley path.

She then took out a handful of Mid-Grade Spiritual Stones, maneuvered swiftly through the white mist, and in no time, a clear shout echoed from deep within the fog.

"Wind-Fire Heaven Extreme Array, activate!"

Blazing flames engulfed the skies instantly, forming vortexes spiraling outward in the rushing winds, the temperature steadily rising, incinerating everything in their path.

The two extraordinary individuals were engulfed by the tongues of fire without time to react, turning to ashes.

Jiang Yuebai moved like a shadow, the Shadow Moon Mother and Child Blades attacked silently, striking the two cultivators from behind while they resisted the fiery vortex, decapitating the Early-Stage Foundation Establishment cultivator with one strike.

Dong Kun was horrified, his Seven Evils Banner had just been summoned before it too was devoured by flames, and he got engulfed by the fire as well.

"Who are you really?"

Jiang Yuebai remained silent, facing Dong Kun’s desperate counterattack. Her Condensing Light Mirror emerged, spells and hidden weapons alike extinguished in the mirror’s glow.

Buzz!

The Shadow Moon Mother and Child Blades flashed with chilling light, Dong Kun swung his knife in a slash that missed, his head rolling off into the flames.

Crack!

The sound of Spirit Stones shattering came one after another, the Wind-Fire Heaven Extreme Array only sustaining for about thirty breaths because Jiang Yuebai used full force from the start.

Zhao Fuyi stood in the safe zone, watching the surrounding flames fade away gradually. Jiang Yuebai, in black, had spots of blood splattered across her face, her eyes fierce as she grabbed the returning Shadow Moon Mother and Child Blades.

At Jiang Yuebai’s feet were two charred, headless corpses.

Zhao Fuyi was in shock, surprised by Jiang Yuebai’s quick array deployment, her swiftness in killing, and even more so by her decisiveness!

Turns out, Jiang Yuebai’s full strength surpassed what it had been before by threefold!

At this moment, Zhao Fuyi couldn’t help but feel a tinge of regret in her heart.

Jiang Yuebai swiftly collected the lost souls and storage bags from the corpses, spread out the Wind Net as a precaution around them.

"This place is no longer safe, we must leave quickly!"

Zhao Fuyi took a deep look at the Eight Arrays Plate as Jiang Yuebai retrieved it and followed her in a sprint, bypassing the Fire Maple Forest where Fire-Eating Beetles lurked, until they reached an abandoned mine to find a temporary safe place to rest.

Zhao Fuyi lifted her mask, "Is this what you meant by not understanding? You set the array faster than I expected just from hearing me explain it once, does that make me overestimate you?"

Jiang Yuebai pursed her lips, "I just tried it at random, it was pure luck that it succeeded once. I had it planned out, if it didn’t work, I would fight hard, it would just take longer."

"You’re really good at hiding things!"

Jiang Yuebai’s face suddenly moved close to Zhao Fuyi’s, squinting to examine her closely, smiling teasingly.

"Is True Monarch Fuyi regretting not taking in such an excellent disciple as me? But alas, I already have a master."

Zhao Fuyi huffed coldly and turned away.

Jiang Yuebai felt content, released the Cloud Lark Puppet for surveillance around, and was about to inspect her spoils when a familiar figure suddenly appeared in the Movie Viewing Mirror beside her.

Jiang Yuebai dispelled the Illusion Array, the person cautiously investigating the spiritual energy fluctuation.

As their eyes met, the person’s gaze lingered on Jiang Yuebai for just a moment before falling onto Zhao Fuyi behind her.

"Master!"

"Weimian?"

The mid-stage female cultivator cried tears of joy, leaping past Jiang Yuebai to Zhao Fuyi.

Jiang Yuebai remembered Tang Weimian. She was Zhao Fuyi’s third disciple, ranking third on the Heavenly Interence Sect’s Foundation Establishment combat strength list.

She was also the captain of the third team for this Secret Realm arraying mission, representing the Heavenly Interence Sect.
