Chapter 326: Chapter 326 The Unique Cultivator [Second Update]
This chapter is updat𝙚d by freeweɓnovel.cøm.
News of a demon beast with inconceivably high cultivation had spread among the cultivator circles of Ling City. Even cultivators from other regions had come to know of it.
This was a bustle the likes of which Ling City had never seen before, as a great many cultivators and martial artists all rushed toward Ling City.
Whoever had leaked the news about the ancient tomb remained a mystery, but after Li Xiaoyao and Jiang Lichun met up, they encountered many others on their way to the tomb.
Under the probe of Li Xiaoyao’s thoughts, the cultivation levels of most people could not escape detection.
There weren’t too many true powerhouses; most were in the Condensation Realm.
At this moment, thirty miles outside the ancient tomb, over a hundred cultivators had gathered.
These individuals, either in small groups or alone, sat discussing together or inspecting their weapons, preparing to try their luck in the tomb.
Everyone knew there was a demon beast guarding the tomb, but few had accurate knowledge concerning the beast’s actual strength.
The three members of the Lin Family sat solemnly under a large tree, their faces tense and brows marked with worry.
“It’s been three days now, and Master and Mr. Li haven’t returned,” Lin Qingxuan said, her hands twisted in the hem of her clothes, her voice tinged with anxiety.
Looking up in the direction of the ancient tomb, Lin Xiu said, “Master will be fine. They’re probably on their way back as we speak.”
Only Lin Changfu remained silent with a sigh, for after so much time with no sign of Fang Han and Li Zhong, their chances of survival seemed incredibly slim.
“I fear they might have been devoured by that demon beast.”
Just then, a group of young men and women arrived from afar.
Everyone turned their gaze towards them, sensing the powerful aura emanating from these newcomers.
“So young, yet their presence is so terrifying.”
“Judging by the aura they’re giving off, they’re at least at the Abstinence Realm in their cultivation!”
“Which family do these youngsters belong to, possessing such formidable strength?”
There was a buzz of discussion; the sudden appearance of these youths had taken them by surprise.
Abstinence Realm cultivators in their thirties were few and far between in Xuan Country, and only a handful of families could nurture such talented geniuses.
The arrivals were none other than Li Yu and other members of the Li Family Clan from Xuan Country, totaling seven people.
Li Yu’s gaze swept over the faces of the crowd swiftly and he spoke calmly, “So Li Tu still hasn’t shown up? It seems he doesn’t take even the Thirteenth Elder’s words to heart.”
A man next to him said, “Brother Yu, that Li Tu is good for nothing but chasing after girls. How can he compare to you? Speaking of him in the same breath would only lower your status.”
Although the comment was mostly flattery, Li Yu took pleasure in it.
“Xiaowu, go and find out the details about that guardian demon beast,” Li Yu commanded, then found an empty spot to sit down.
The task given by the family this time was simple: kill a demon beast and incidentally investigate an ancient tomb.
It was said that the demon beast possessed a Spirit Cultivation Realm level, which seemed to surpass their own by an entire realm, but Li Yu and the others felt not the slightest hint of fear.
A Spirit Cultivation Realm demon beast? So what?
To defeat or slay a stronger opponent with lesser strength—that was the capability the members of the Li Family Clan from Xuan Country ought to possess.
…
Li Xiaoyao and Jiang Lichun got out of their vehicle and walked leisurely toward the direction of the ancient tomb.
The pair ambled along without any trace of urgency.
“Looks like a lot of people showed up today,” Li Xiaoyao, looking at the crowds streaming towards the direction of the ancient tomb, picked a cigarette, put it in his mouth and said, “With so many people, that Zhu Jiuyin is going to have a feast. Even if it dies, it’ll die a full death.”
Blue sky, white clouds, green fields—it all seemed quite poetic and picturesque. However, these people had little mood to pay attention to the scenery. They spoke in low voices, discussing the matters concerning the ancient tomb.
“I heard the tomb’s guardian demon beast is incredibly powerful. There’s probably astonishing treasure inside that ancient tomb.”
“Even if there is treasure, you need to be alive to get it. I’ve heard that many powerful cultivators have come this time, even the big sects that usually stay hidden have been stirred.”
“We’re just small fries. Let’s honestly follow behind and hopefully get a sip of the soup. Forget about skyrocketing to the heavens in one step.”
Indeed, the news of the ancient tomb has been well spread, and it’s absolutely impossible for a single person to swallow all the treasures of the tomb alone.
The only and most perfect outcome would be for the major powers to deal with the demon beast together and then share the treasures inside.
A shabbily dressed young man with long hair and clothes full of holes was dawdling towards the ancient tomb.
The young man looked up at the bright sky, raised his hand to shield his eyes as sunlight peeked through the gaps between his fingers, dappling his face.
“Looks like there are a lot of people. Li Yu should have arrived, right?” the youth muttered to himself, appearing somewhat off in the eyes of others.
His gaze swept over the crowd casually and suddenly settled on a young man.
“That person… why does he look so familiar?” The youth’s eyes were fixed on Li Xiaoyao.
From the side, Li Xiaoyao’s profile felt incredibly familiar to him.
Li Xiaoyao, who was leisurely sauntering along, his ears twitched slightly as the sound of wind and footsteps approached from behind. A figure suddenly appeared, standing next to Li Xiaoyao.
“Bro, gimmie a smoke.” The youth had a smile on his face, looking quite sunny, except his face was somewhat dirty, resembling a beggar.
Ordinary people who saw him might keep their distance; those with a shorter temper might curse out loud or even start a fight.
Li Xiaoyao just looked at him, took out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter and handed them over, “Help yourself.”
The youth didn’t seem to know what politeness was. He took a cigarette, put it in his mouth, shoved the rest of the almost full pack into his pocket, lit it up and carelessly said, “My name is Li Tu.” That served as his introduction.
“Li Xiaoyao,” he uttered simply, continuing to walk forward without stopping.
Jiang Lichun gave Li Tu a thorough look and then slowly withdrew his gaze.
Despite his shabby appearance, the breath emanating from Li Tu could not be hidden from the two of them. Beneath the dirtiness lay a clean face that revealed his youth.
Being so young and possessing such uncommon cultivation level, his talent for cultivation must be terrifying. Surely there must be an extremely powerful family behind him.
What puzzled them, however, was why the kid dressed himself so scruffily?
Even a beggar was cleaner than him.
“The two of us, we were one family five hundred years ago,” joked Li Tu cheekily, smoking in a way that resembled a ruffian by the roadside, reeking of unseriousness.
Li Xiaoyao ignored him. Though Li Tu’s cultivation was strong, what did that have to do with Li Xiaoyao?
Having strong personal power was what mattered most.
The habit of kowtowing to the strong was not something Li Xiaoyao indulged in.
“How may I address our senior?” Since Li Xiaoyao wasn’t interested in engaging with him, Li Tu turned to Jiang Lichun instead.
Jiang Lichun also had his own quirks. On hearing this, he gave Li Tu a glance and slowly looked away, completely ignoring his inquiry.
Li Tu felt a bit frustrated. He hadn’t done anything to incur heaven’s wrath or people’s resentment, had he? Why are the cultivators these days so… full of personality?
