Chapter 447 - 417: Red-eyed Demon King
"To be honest, Senior Sister Zhao was expelled from the sect by the master early on. As for the exact mistake she made that angered the master, I am unaware of the reasons.""For the answer to that, perhaps you’d have to ask the master."
"All these years, the master never allowed us to mention Senior Sister Zhao in her presence. It seems there is still a rift between them that cannot be resolved."
Saying this, Xuu Qingci’s expression darkened slightly, and he said with some regret, "Now, Senior Sister Zhao is no longer with us. The exact grievance between her and the master can only be known by asking the master."
"For this mission against the Southern Wilderness Demon Beasts, the master will be present. At that time, I will hand over the jade scroll left by Senior Sister Zhao to the master and ask the master again."
Regarding Zhao Hanyun’s demise, Xuu Qingci was undoubtedly saddened and thereafter said no more.
After a few words of comfort from Lu Zhiwei, the conversation ended.
Removing the soundproof restriction, Xuu Qingci bowed to both Lu Zhiwei and Lu Yuanshan before returning alone to the Cold Moon Palace team.
Meanwhile, as Lu Yuanshan and the others rested, the square of Purple Fire Castle was bustling with flying ships, transporting one group of cultivators after another to the frontline battlefield.
The combined forces of the Eight Great Sects, along with cultivators from Dubhe Institute and Nine Cold Mountain, totaled over ten thousand.
Under the arrangement of Wind Yuzi, these cultivators would temporarily form Yellow-Level or Profound-Level teams, dispatched to various locations based on the number of beast tides appearing in different areas.
Notably, a single Earth-Level team emerged.
The Earth-Level team, led by Crystallization Cultivators, included members who were at least Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators, with the team reaching a hundred members.
Among them were ten Crystallization Cultivators and ninety Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
The emergence of this team drew considerable attention.
The Cyan Mountain Sect, among others, also paid attention to this team, later learning that at a place called Bone Demon Cliff, a powerful Tier Three demon beast group had appeared.
The opposition to that beast group was also an Earth-Level team, led by their captain, Liiu Qiumei from Nine Cold Mountain.echniques cultivated and the Tier Four Spiritual Artifacts equipped, she can contend with foes two small realms higher.
This time, Liiu Qiumei finds it tricky and requires help, indicating demon beasts of at least Sixth-Layer Crystallization or higher have appeared in the beast group at Bone Demon Cliff.
Late-stage Crystallization demon beasts pose significant difficulties for Liiu Qiumei.
"I’m not worried about her safety. She has been highly valued by Jiang Daoist over the years and must possess some life-saving Divine Techniques. She won’t easily fall on the frontline."
Zhang Daoqi smiled lightly, referring to Jiang Daoist, which naturally meant Elder Jiang.
...
Three days after Lu Yuanshan and his group rested, on this day, the Cyan Mountain Sect, under Wind Yuzi’s assignment, formed a Profound-level team with the Spirit Sword Sect, Golden Saber Sect, and Dubhe Institute to go to Bone Demon Cliff to clear out a beast group composed of Tier One and Tier Two demon beasts.
The beast group’s numbers totaled over one thousand six hundred.
The team leader this time was Lu Yuanshan.
Lu Yuanshan’s impressive exploits in Pingyao Town were already known to Wind Yuzi and have spread among the Eight Great Sects.
After all, a cultivator at the Eighth-Layer Foundation Establishment handling a Tier Nine Foundation Establishment demon beast with ease is exceedingly rare.
All factions are closely monitoring the strength of cultivators, with some even taking the opportunity to forge connections and expand networks, naturally paying attention to those with formidable strength.
