Realizing This Is A Wuxia World After Cultivating For 300 Years-Chapter 56 - The Dark of the Moon

Chapter 56: The Dark of the Moon

“Please speak.” Cui Heng nodded slightly.

“County Lord, do you still remember the top-notch Inner World Realm expert of our sect that we mentioned earlier?” Xu Bailu asked.

“Of course I remember.” Cui Heng nodded and said with a smile, “However, after defeating Wang Shun’s bandit army, Daoist Nun has never mentioned this matter again.”

“This request is regarding the top expert from my Sect.” Xu Bailu revealed a bitter expression and said with some shame, “To be honest, County Lord, this top expert is my father.

“Ever since the County Lord’s victory last time, I’ve tried to send someone to contact my father so that he doesn’t have to attack the rear of the Yan bandits to prevent himself from being ambushed by the Lotus Flower Monastery and the Grand Prosperity Monastery.

But after a few days, there’s still no news. I’m worried that my father is in danger, so I want to request County Lord to use some divine methods to investigate my father’s whereabouts.”

As she spoke, she took out a book from her sleeve and handed it over with both hands. “I heard that the County Lord likes to collect martial techniques. Some time ago, I accidentally obtained a secret manual from the previous dynasty called ‘Flying Fire Divine Spear’. It’s a top-notch weapon martial technique that can be cultivated to the Xiantian realm.

“Please accept it, County Lord.”

The Yuhua Sword Pavilion was the largest martial sect in Lu County. It could be considered the top sect in the entire Fengzhou.

Such a large sect’s daily expenses were extremely huge.

Therefore, there were many industries under it. They mainly dealt in jade, restaurants, and inns. They were spread throughout the county and had an extremely wide range of sources.

Generally speaking, as long as a person was still in Lu County, they could be found within a day. Even if the scope was expanded to the entire Fengzhou, it would at most take two to three days.

Even if they couldn’t find him, they could at least find some information.

However, four to five days had passed, but there was still no news. It was as if he had disappeared from the face of the earth. This made Xu Bailu very worried, and she could only ask Cui Heng for help.

“Using divine methods to find someone?” Cui Heng was a little surprised.

However, he did not have any methods in this aspect, so he shook his head and pushed the secret manual back. “I don’t know such techniques. Since your father is a top-notch expert, I believe nothing will happen to him. Daoist Nun, please take this secret manual back.”

The Martial Dao’s Inner World Realm was already equivalent to the Sixth level of Qi Refinement. Even if he was chased by thousands of troops, as long as he wanted to escape, he could escape. At most, he would be severely injured and not die.

Therefore, he was not just comforting her when he said that nothing would happen.

“Thank you for your kind words, County Lord.” Xu Bailu was a little disappointed, but she did not take the secret manual back. She shook her head gently and said, “Please accept this secret manual, County Lord. Take it as thanks for taking care of me and my two disciples.”

“It’s just providing a place to stay. What kind of care is that?” Cui Heng laughed when he heard that.

However, he didn’t refuse anymore. After accepting the secret manual, he said, “As the saying goes, one doesn’t accept rewards for nothing. How about this? Recently, I’ve sent out many people to act as sentries and scout out the situation with the Yan bandits. I’ll get them to pay more attention to your father’s whereabouts.”

“Thank you, County Lord!” Xu Bailu hurriedly stood up and thanked him. To the current her, it was good as long as there was an additional channel to find news about her father.

“It’s nothing.” Cui Heng smiled and said, “Please give me your father’s information.”

… .

After lunch.

Cui Heng then chatted with Xu Bailu about the current situation in the secular world and the martial world.

This allowed him to learn a lot of information that he didn’t know before.

He had gained a lot.

Since it was already evening, Xu Bailu invited Cui Heng to stay for dinner.

After dinner, Cui Heng went back.

After all, there were three women in that courtyard. It was not good for him to stay overnight.

After returning to the inner hall of the county office, Cui Heng had nothing to do, so he took out the ‘Flying Fire Divine Spear’ manual and looked at it.

Although the name was not good, this martial technique was quite special.

When using Xiantian True Qi to ignite the tip of a spear with special qualities, the spear, when swung, would have flames accompanying it, disrupting the enemy. It could even affect the fire essence in the world, greatly increasing the power of the spear.

The method of using True Qi to ignite external objects gave Cui Heng some inspiration. At the same time, it also allowed him to relate it to the gains he had obtained from watching the Buddha Fiery Heart Palm.

Hence, he picked up the candle beside him and shook it gently. The wax inside was immediately spilled out.

In the next moment, the dozen drops of wax suddenly turned into terrifying fireballs wrapped in Dharmic powers.

An unparalleled extreme temperature spread out, almost turning everything around into ashes in an instant.

“Hu!”

Cui Heng blew out the fireballs formed by the wax and let them return to normal.

Then, he smiled and nodded. “This martial technique is not bad.”

However, his actions made things difficult for Xu Bailu, who had already reached the Profound Gate realm, and Zhou Caiwei, who was born with sharp spiritual senses.

They were both woken up from their sleep, their faces pale.

Both of them dreamed of dozens of fireballs descending from the sky, burning the entire Juhe County into ashes.

Until late at night, they were still in shock and almost couldn’t sleep the entire night.

Cui Heng did not know about this. After experimenting with this “new spell”, he came out of the room and looked up at the sky.

The moonlight was dim and the stars were sparse.

“The dark of the moon is an opportune moment! It’s perfect for a real experiment.”

With this in mind, he left the county office and instantly appeared outside the county city.

With his second step, he was more than 20 kilometers away from Juhe County.

500 miles was indeed just a walk after dinner.

However, after a dozen steps, a strong gray light that lit up nearby made him stop.

… .

Xu Feng’an lay in the weeds by the roadside. He looked down at his crippled body with a bitter expression.

His heart was filled with despair and sorrow.

As a world-renowned top-notch martial cultivator, his current situation could only be said to be miserable.

The right side of his upper body was almost gone.

It was truly gone.

Not only was his right arm gone, but half of his right chest, as well as his lung, ribs, kidney, and other internal organs, were also missing.

All that was left was a huge bloody hole and a mangled mess.

With such injuries, not to mention ordinary people, even a Profound Gate Grandmaster would definitely be dead.

Even if he had refined his Xiantian True Qi, he could at most struggle at death’s door for a short while.

Only a top figure like Xu Feng’an, who had cultivated to the Inner World Realm and could perfectly control every bit of his flesh and blood, could barely maintain his vitality.

He could even drag such a body and run hundreds of miles to escape.

However, even if he was at the peak of the Inner World Realm, he was still a human, a mortal, a mortal with a physical body. In the end, he could not hold on and fell into a pile of grass by the roadside.

With this fall, he lost the remaining True Qi in his body and could no longer get up.

The so-called characteristic of endless Xiantian True Qi no longer had any recovery effect under such heavy injuries.

Xu Feng’an looked up at the dark night sky, and his eyes gradually became empty.

He could clearly feel his life force draining away. In at most half an hour, he would die and be buried in the wilderness.

In a daze, everything he had experienced in his life began to appear before his eyes.

When he was young and frivolous, he ruled the world. The love and hatred he experienced when he was young, the pride he felt after succeeding, the extreme loneliness he felt after cultivating to the Inner World Realm, the despair and helplessness he felt as he watched his lover die…

In the end, all of his mind was fixed on a young, beautiful figure.

That was his daughter.

It was also his only family in this world, his only concern.

“Xiao Lu…” Xu Feng’an muttered.

However, this breath almost exhausted his remaining aura.

His life was about to be snuffed out.

At this moment, a golden light suddenly cut through the dark night.

It reflected in his already dim eyes.
