Imperial Cultivation-Chapter 1034 - 1030: Reinforcements Arrive
This single strand of mysterious aura is contained within the dragon’s breath.
Without triggering the dragon’s breath, without sensing it, naturally, one cannot feel the aura contained within.
Even if one can trigger and sense the dragon’s breath, capturing this strand of aura is immensely difficult.
This has already surpassed the limit he can reach; for others in the Demon Clan or Demon Realm, it would be impossible.
Even the top Great Heavenly Demon or Great Sky Demon may not be able to sense it.
He vaguely glimpsed a fraction of the Supreme Heavenly Demon’s method; his luck indeed was quite good.
Even when he’s mentally invigorated, he maintains a tenuous and intermittent mental state.
He must concentrate, yet also split his focus.
The balance within this makes him tread carefully as if on thin ice, consuming immense mental strength.
When he opened his eyes, his brows were already filled with exhaustion.
"Mr. Sun, how is it?" Miao Qingjie watched him intently.
Leng Tieya nodded slowly, "There is some feeling."
"Bless the Demon Ancestor!" Miao Qingjie sighed in relief, then eagerly asked, "Did you sense where the relics are located?"
Leng Tieya shook his head.
Miao Qingjie was momentarily stunned.
Leng Tieya said, "Perhaps it’s too far away, or perhaps my cultivation is lacking; I haven’t felt a thing."
Miao Qingjie fixed his gaze upon him.
Leng Tieya chuckled, "Does Young Master Miao think I want to keep it to myself?"
Miao Qingjie solemnly shook his head, "I trust Mr. Sun wouldn’t do such a thing."
"I’ll try again," Leng Tieya said, "But today is not feasible; I need another day to recover."
Miao Qingjie looked at his pale face, half doubtful.
Sensing this fragmented sword is truly that exhausting?
I felt nothing, is this not possibly all a ploy?
Leng Tieya smiled, "By the way, are there Ghost Bone Sect outposts at those two locations?"
"Almost forgot to mention!" Miao Qingjie suddenly slapped the stone table, excitedly saying, "We found those two outposts!... Mr. Sun, you’ve greatly helped us at Star-picking Cliff!"
Leng Tieya chuckled, "I didn’t expect we actually found them; this time, we can smoothly wipe out the Ghost Bone Sect, right?"
Miao Qingjie snorted, "This time, surely they will be thoroughly exterminated, never to rise again!"
Previously, it was never possible to eradicate them because those two outposts were overlooked, not due to any Grotto Heaven.
He knew, upon hearing this news, everyone at Star-picking Cliff was ecstatic and eager to immediately take action and destroy them once again.
To see this time whether they will rise again or if there truly is a Grotto Heaven.
"These evil demons, if truly exterminated, the entire Demon Realm will be endlessly grateful."
"This time, there’s no issue!"
"Is your sect acting alone?"
"Naturally we will not act alone; we need to ally with several other sects and act together; the Ghost Bone Sect should not be underestimated."
"This is how it should be," Leng Tieya sighed, "No wonder it’s Star-picking Cliff."
Miao Qingjie said, "Mr. Sun, shall I return tomorrow then?"
Leng Tieya said, "Since it’s rare for Young Master Miao to be here, let me show some hospitality and take Young Master Miao on a tour around Wanjiang City, how about it?"
"That couldn’t be better!" Miao Qingjie smiled.
He secretly admired Leng Tieya’s thoroughness.
This was clearly to avoid suspicion and to demonstrate uprightness, ensuring there’s no private search for relics.
Leng Tieya said, "Let’s take a stroll outside; we might perceive something."
"Precisely, precisely." Miao Qingjie hurriedly nodded.
—
Leng Tieya, Miao Qingjie, along with two experts from Star-picking Cliff stood by the turbulent river.
This is the place where they previously met.
Leng Tieya looked toward the turbulent river, concentrating for a moment, then shook his head.
Miao Qingjie said, "Those evil demons from Ghost Bone Sect earlier shouldn’t have been let go."
Initially, he thought those four evil demons were insignificant, but now he feels they shouldn’t have been allowed to escape.
Leng Tieya said, "We’ll have more of those evil demons come later."
Miao Qingjie shook his head, "This might alert the enemy."
If Star-picking Cliff doesn’t intend to act shortly, then it doesn’t matter.
But now that Star-picking Cliff is ready to strike, it might disrupt Star-picking Cliff’s plans.
Leng Tieya said, "I originally intended to quietly deal with them."
Miao Qingjie smiled wryly, "Also, I delayed your action."
"It doesn’t matter; anyway, Star-picking Cliff will soon eradicate them."
"Let them live a few more days!" Miao Qingjie snorted.
His expression gradually became solemn, as his gaze turned toward the distant woods.
In a brief glance, he surprisingly noticed several Ghost Bone Sect experts suddenly slipping into the distant woods.
Leng Tieya seemed oblivious, still staring at the expansive river waters.
He suddenly noticed something strange, turned his head and looked over: "Young Master Miao?"
Miao Qingjie’s expression was grave, he said slowly, "Another expert from the Ghost Bone Sect has arrived, in that grove!"
Leng Tieya turned his head and looked over: "What are those sneaky people doing in that grove?"
Miao Qingjie glanced around and said in a deep voice: "They might be after me!... Mr. Sun, be careful."
Leng Tieya chuckled and said: "Attack you, Young Master Miao? Do they really dare?"
Seeing that he wasn’t too concerned, Miao Qingjie said solemnly: "They might have found something suspicious, these evil demons are very sensitive to danger!"
Leng Tieya chuckled: "If they were really that sensitive, they wouldn’t dare to come over, right?" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞
Miao Qingjie smiled: "Mr. Sun, your swordsmanship is excellent, but if they come all at once, I’m afraid it would be hard for you to retreat unscathed."
"No problem." Leng Tieya said: "I’m not afraid of being besieged with this swordsmanship, the more the merrier... How many are there?"
"At least twenty." Miao Qingjie said solemnly.
He had confidence in his eyesight, even though he only caught a glimpse of five.
But based on his experience, there were at least twenty experts from the Ghost Bone Sect in the grove.
Obviously, his whereabouts had been leaked, and these evil demons were indeed after him.
The four evil demons who escaped knew about his cultivation, so the cultivation of these demons was clearly no less than his, and they were confident in dealing with him.
"Only twenty." Leng Tieya chuckled: "Just wondering how to find them, and now they come at their own cost! ... Young Master Miao, you should retreat first, I’ll hold them off."
"We’ll fight together." Miao Qingjie said solemnly.
His pride as a disciple of the Star-picking Cliff wouldn’t allow him to run away alone.
"Alright." Leng Tieya nodded: "Then let’s fight side by side again and completely clean up these evil demons!"
Of course, he had already noticed the approach of these Ghost Bone Sect experts.
They gathered here with the Golden Ghost Flower as their goal, not Miao Qingjie.
But he felt that the Star-picking Cliff’s actions were too slow, sluggish, which was unfavorable for completing his own mission.
In order to make the Star-picking Cliff act quickly, he needed to add fuel to the fire.
The proactive siege by Ghost Bone Sect experts of Miao Qingjie was an excellent stimulus.
"Kill!" Miao Qingjie shouted in a low voice.
He leaped up and shot across the vast river, rushing toward the grove on the opposite bank.
Leng Tieya followed closely behind.
The other two experts from the Star-picking Cliff followed him, drawing their swords from their sheaths.
As soon as they approached the grove, a group of experts from the Ghost Bone Sect rushed out, with Hand Seal and Fist Shadow flying all over, enveloping Leng Tieya and the other three.
Leng Tieya suddenly accelerated, his figure trailing a series of phantoms, already appearing behind a Ghost Bone Sect expert, sword light flicking across his neck.
A pillar of blood rose, and a head rolled down.
His figure shifted again, arriving behind another Ghost Bone Sect expert, beheading once more.
Columns of blood rose one after another, and heads rolled one by one.
"Kill him!"
An angry roar came from within the grove, and more than twenty Ghost Bone Sect experts charged out.
Miao Qingjie’s face darkened.
A total of forty!
More than he predicted.
These guys had all come to kill him; without Mr. Sun here, he could only flee for his life.
The cultivation levels of these forty evil demons were not weak; he definitely couldn’t withstand them.
These evil demons had become so bold as to dare to encircle and kill him!
Thinking of this, he pulled out a short tube from his bosom and pulled it toward the sky.
"Bang!"
A red light shot up to the sky and exploded in the sky.
A large red flower appeared in the sky, condensed but not dispersing.
The two other Star-picking Cliff experts were invigorated.
Once the signal was sent, all the disciples of the Star-picking Cliff within dozens of miles would sense it and rush over in time to help.
As long as they held on for a moment, reinforcements were sure to arrive.
Leng Tieya killed five Ghost Bone Sect experts in one go.
A long shout came from a distance: "Are you the junior of Star-picking Cliff?"
It was a burly young man, his movement technique extremely fast, appearing nearby in the blink of an eye.
He landed on the riverbank, surveyed the scene in the field, and laughed heartily: "Jing Huai of the Fuyang Sect is here! ... Brother Miao?"
"Brother Jing!" Miao Qingjie smiled: "Thank you, Brother Jing, for coming!"
"Where did these come from? So bold, don’t they know which sect you’re from, Brother Miao?" The burly young Jing Huai laughed, "Is Star-picking Cliff so easy to mess with?"
Miao Qingjie snorted while swinging his sword: "They are evil demons of the Ghost Bone Sect!"
"Ghost Bone Sect!" Jing Huai’s face darkened, the smile vanishing.
He drew his sword and sneered coldly: "Damn it!"
His sword flashed with purple light, exuding an astonishing momentum.
Several more figures drifted over from a distance, greeting loudly.
They quickly recognized Miao Qingjie and joined the battlefield.
