The Birth of Sword God-Chapter 209 - 181: Going Down the Mountain to Vanquish Demons

Chapter 209: Chapter 181: Going Down the Mountain to Vanquish Demons

Medicine Mountain, Liu Residence.

Another steward of the Outer Sect also had his own troubles, which also stemmed from Chu Huaixu.

Steward Liu Tianfeng pushed open the door and glanced at his son Liu Chengqi, who was drunk and collapsed on the table, frowning slightly.

"Do you plan to live such a life of drunken stupor every day?" he couldn’t help but reprimand.

Liu Chengqi half-lay on the table, caressing the jade pot with his hand, without responding.

Steward Liu wanted to scold him a bit more, but in the end, he only sighed.

Since emerging from the Cold Pool Secret Realm, his beloved son had become like this, starting to give up on himself.

Especially after having to watch Chu Huaixu steal the spotlight, leaping from a mere Pseudo Spiritual Embryo to becoming the Profound Yellow Leader, Liu Chengqi felt increasingly unbalanced inside.

That day in the dungeon, the father and son had checked Chu Huaixu’s spiritual embryo together.

Although it was unclear what opportunities lay beneath the Cold Pool Secret Realm, it must have been a grand fortune!

Liu Tianfeng sat down next to his beloved son and said:

"Chengqi, as your father, I hope you can understand that from Chu Huaixu’s numerous performances in the East Continent Grand Competition, it’s clear that his comprehension and mindset are both excellent."

"He even mastered the ’Dao Scripture,’ which might be his greatest transformation."

"Even without obtaining the opportunities beneath the Cold Pool, he would still have achieved great things."

"Otherwise, the Sixth Elder would not place such importance on him."

"You shouldn’t think that everything he has today is solely because of that Cold Pool Secret Realm, nor should you feel that he stole your fortune."

Hearing this, Liu Chengqi suddenly went mad, pushing the jade pot and wine glasses off the table with a crash.

Reeking of alcohol, he shouted, "How could he not have stolen my fortune!"

"If it weren’t for your sycophantic ways, trying to win favor with the Sixth Elder, and listening to that Niu Yuanshan’s suggestion, giving them the jade token fragments, they wouldn’t have been able to enter the Secret Realm!"

"Had he not gone in, everything in that Secret Realm might have been mine!"

"Apart from them, only I was left inside, while everyone else was kicked out early!"

Liu Tianfeng’s expression changed, but having had his son late in life and with his wife already passed, he became increasingly indulgent.

After taking a deep breath, he tried to speak patiently, "The Cold Pool Secret Realm has now been transformed by the Inner Sect cultivators into a training ground. You can try to venture in again yourself."

"That day, you were trapped in the Illusion Realm for too long and were eventually kicked out..."

Liu Chengqi still wouldn’t listen, yelling, "If it hadn’t been those two who went in but the registered disciple we had arranged from the start, I might not have chosen that path when selecting the entrance!"

"Even if I didn’t succeed that day, I would still have another chance in the future!"

"As long as the opportunity is still there, it is mine!!!"

"All because of your fawning ways, you made Chu Huaixu a wedding dress!"

"You shouldn’t have listened to that dog Niu Yuanshan’s suggestion, and you shouldn’t have given them the fragments of the Pill King Token!"

Hearing this, Liu Tianfeng was left speechless.

In truth, he did feel a bit of regret, realizing he shouldn’t have listened to Niu Yuanshan’s suggestion that day.

But ultimately, he never really took a mere Pseudo Spiritual Embryo seriously at the time.

The thinking back then was: the worse his talent, the more it proved his extraordinary background.

Who would have thought he was a latent dragon hidden in the abyss.

In the end, Liu Tianfeng didn’t say much more.

He simply said, "Tomorrow, I will lead a team down the mountain to complete an exorcism mission."

"Chu Huaixu will also be joining the team."

"Since you have such deep obsessions, I will find an opportunity to ask him what he actually gained beneath the Cold Pool."

Liu Chengqi didn’t respond upon hearing this.

During the East Continent Grand Competition, he watched each of Chu Huaixu’s matches, always standing in a corner.

He often wondered if his damaged spiritual embryo had recovered, would he also shine brightly on stage?

What made him feel even worse was that in the first few matches, Chu Huaixu defeated his opponents using the [Eight Desolates Roaming Dragon] technique he had taught him!

It was simply a stab to the heart!

...

...

The next day, Chu Huaixu and Han Shuangjiang arrived outside the Disciple Courtyard at the appointed time.

Liu Tianfeng and Mo Qingmei, the two stewards, had arrived early.

For this trip down the mountain, they planned to take a total of 20 Outer Sect disciples.

Seeing Chu Huaixu, these Outer Sect disciples were quite excited.

Completing a sect mission alongside the Profound Yellow Leader provided ample material for stories when they returned.

Due to Chu Huaixu’s overwhelmingly strong performance in the arena competitions, everyone felt inexplicably reassured upon seeing him.

Even though he was only at the First Realm of cultivation.

Once everyone was present, Mo Qingmei smiled and said, "Senior Brother Liu, you have more experience leading teams than I do. Why don’t you give them a talk?"

"Sure."

Steward Liu looked at everyone and said, "The Exorcism of Chi Xi Stream is a response to a call for aid from a Sword Sect disciple."

"A disciple named Zhao Qianfeng discovered signs of evil cultivators at Chi Xi Stream while traveling down the mountain."

"He followed them and subdued one, extracting information that revealed an evil cultivation altar hidden beneath Chi Xi Stream."

"As he couldn’t handle it alone, he sought our Daoist Sect’s assistance for reinforcements nearby."

"Today, while taking you down the mountain for training, remember to prioritize your own safety and do not act recklessly."

"If you can’t beat them, then run!"

"Our Daoist Sect has a large base; we can return and request reinforcements."

"Eliminating evil is the purpose of our exorcism missions."

"But it must be prioritized on the basis of preserving your own lives. Do you all understand?" he shouted.

"Yes, Steward Liu!" the crowd responded.

When Chu Huaixu previously played ’Borrowed Sword,’ he’d heard that the newbie sect missions of the Daoist Sect were the easiest.

Players were basically just along for the ride.

Like this exorcism at Chi Xi Stream, the Daoist Sect had dispatched two stewards along with 20 Outer Sect disciples.

In essence, even if only half the team was sent, it would be more than enough to handle the situation.

The focus is mainly on being cautious and steady.

The Daoist Sect is powerful enough to simply steamroll through!

"Knowing that the evil cultivators are hiding beneath Chi Xi Stream with an altar already set up does make things much easier," Chu Huaixu thought.

This way, it won’t take too long, and they can presumably go and return swiftly.

The group followed the two stewards down the mountain.

Near the foot of the mountain, at the [Beast Hall], each person received a Black Cloud Steed.

This horse was a hybrid between a spirit beast and a regular horse. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

It didn’t possess much strength, not even considered a low-tier spirit beast, but it excelled in speed, capable of traveling a thousand miles in a day, had considerable spirituality, was easy to control, and very easy to tame.

As a cultivator, just releasing your aura of power would immediately let it know your strength, causing it to become extremely obedient.

Chu Huaixu thought that this creature’s intelligence might be similar to that of a Border Collie...

After a long journey, the group quickly reached the designated rendezvous point.

The Sword Sect disciple named Zhao Qianfeng was already there waiting.

He wore an outer sect token from the Sword Sect on his waist and had a cultivation level of the Second Realm Fourth Heaven.

His appearance was not particularly distinctive, except that his eyebrows were a little light and sparse, almost like a man without eyebrows.

Throughout the journey, Chu Huaixu was actually quite worried.

He wasn’t afraid of encountering danger during the trip, but rather feared that Han Shuangjiang’s Qi Fortune Saint Body might trigger, causing the group to accidentally stumble into some secret realm.

This is why he volunteered for the task, not letting Han Shuangjiang choose one.

If that happened, the Sword Sect disciple waiting here might think that the esteemed Daoist Sect was not punctual!

It could even result in being stood up...
