Chapter 92: Attack on Old Man

Atlas Studios Atlas Studios

On the Nine-tailed Mountain, the construction of the sect was already more than halfway completed. Numerous grand halls stood, and towering buildings seemed taller than the sky.

For example, the installations for cultivation techniques, alchemy, weapon refinement, the Dao comprehension, and other functional buildings had already been completed.

As the saying goes, clothes make the man. It was the same for this sect. It had a grand hall with carved railings and jade pavilions arched into the sky. The Qingyun Sect now resembled a large sect.

In addition, the Dao fate here was rich, and the spirit energy was abundant. It was as if everything was plated with a layer of immortal splendor that emitted a holy glimmer.

‘The Nine-tailed Mountain was not tall, but its scenery was beautiful. Various rare flowers and trees were everywhere on the mountain, and many precious birds and spirit beasts resided there. Faint immortal mist lingered at the peak, causing the sect to seem even more extraordinary.

‘The back mountain of Li Yu’s residence had already become the spirit herb garden.

Under Shan Ruoshui’s care, the herb garden was brimming with life as it was filled with various precious spirit herbs.

“Mandarin, you can’t eat that!”

Shan Ruoshui was busy in the herb garden. She rushed to the orange cat’s side angrily and picked it up. “You little kid, why are you getting more and more naughty by the day!”

Upon hearing Shan Ruoshui’s scolding, the orange cat shrunk its neck like a human. It stuck out its tongue and smiled fawningly.

Shan Ruoshui was now friends with a group of wild cats. Under the nurturing of the Ancient Dao Fortune Tree, not only had they developed intelligence, but their bodies had also undergone changes, and they had already become spiritual beings.

This particular orange cat followed Shan Ruoshui every day and ate and drank in the spirit herb garden.

He ate precious spirit herbs and drank Shan Ruoshui’s spiritual dew and spiritual spring nurtured by her Unitary Heavy Water.

With the Ancient Dao Fortune Tree present, the dew and spring water on the mountain contained rich spiritual energy and Dao fate.

After being nurtured with the Unitary Heavy Water, it contained rich contents and was highly beneficial.

It had a great effect on watering certain special and precious spirit herbs.

Hence, this orange cat was becoming smarter. It could even begin to cultivate and speak human language.

Shan Ruoshui taught the cats a cultivation technique as well. Of course, she got the cultivation technique from Li Yu.

Everything had a spirit. As long as it is guided to the right path, demons could also cultivate into the Great Dao and become immortals.

“Sister Ruoshui, let me have a bite of this violet sun root. I can tell you a super-shocking secret about Brother Li Yu!” The orange cat had a sly smile on its face.

“Isn’t it just the Ancient Dao Luck Tree that actually came out of his feces?” Shan Ruoshui was unamused.

“Huh? How, how did you know?”

“Sa Hua has already used this secret to exchange for the Ground Core Grass from me!”

“Huh? This stinky Sa Hua, how can he do this? Eh, wait, doesn’t Sa Hua not know how to speak with humans? Is this bad guy lying to me?”

Shan Ruoshui smiled and did not say a word as she placed the orange cat back on the ground.

“Sister Ruoshui, I was the one who told him this secret, so it counts as me who told you that. So, you should reward me with a Ground Core Grass too!” bargained the orange cat.

“Help me dig a hundred holes obediently. If ‘m happy, I might reward you with one!” Shan Ruoshui said with a smile.

Then, she picked up the spirit herb saplings she had cultivated from the water buckets.

“Hehe, Sister Ruoshui is the best. I’ll marry you once I obtain my human form through cultivation!” As the orange cat spoke, it used its furry claws to dig the hole with all its might. It created a hole in a few steps with great skill.

“Silly, you’re a female cat! Also, how do you know about marriage?”

“Theard it from those craftsmen. They said that when they earn enough money, they’ll go home and find a pretty wife and have a bunch of babies!”

Shan Ruoshui smiled as she buried a spirit herb seedling in the ground. “You’ll learn more from me and our Brother Li Yu!”

In the air hundreds of kilometers away from the Nine-tailed Mountain, Mo Wuhui walked in the air, each step covering dozens of kilometers.

“How did Li Yu cultivate his human body to a physique stronger than the Ancient God Body! What an unbelievable brat!”

When Mo Wuhui first arrived in the Great Xia Dynasty today, he was baffled to see Li Yu’s physique was human.

Later on, he found out that it was an actual human body.

Moreover, it was rumored that Li Yu had even spoken the mantra of the Great Dao half a month ago. Although he was unsure if it was true, there was no doubt that this kid was a freak.

“It’s a pity to kill such a monstrous genius. Why don’t I refine him into a Puppet Child!”

As Mo Wuhui thought about this, he took another step forward and saw a bolt from the blue sky striking down.

Mo Wuhui instantly reacted to dodge, but the lightning still struck him regardless.

With a bang, a circle of ripples appeared.

The terrifying energy tured into a shockwave that swept away the clouds in a radius of dozens of kilometers.

Mo Wuhuis figure was blasted far away before he could stabilize himself.

Magic power surged through his body as dark gray gas condensed into a giant skeleton phantom that enveloped his body.

What is going on?

Mo Wuhui frowned.

Iclearly dodged it earlier, so why am I still hit?

The lightning was strange and powerful.

He would feel nothing if he got struck by ordinary lightning, but the power contained in that bolt of lightning was much stronger than regular tribulation lightning.

If it had been a cultivator below the Profound Void Martial Stage, the poor fellow would have disintegrated on the spot.

“There are no fluctuations of any array formation in the surroundings, nor do I sense any special domains or the energy of natural oddities!”

‘Mo Wuhui flew to the spot where he had just encountered the lightning. He did not sense any abnormalities, nor did he suffer more lightning attacks.

“Maybe I have killed too many, and the Heavenly Dao has sent down the divine punishment lightning!” Mo Wuhui guessed.

However, he kept feeling that something was amiss, that he had a bad feeling.

He could not be sure of it at the moment.

Since the lightning did not appear again, he did not hesitate anymore and continued his flight.

In next to no time, the Nine-tailed Mountain had already appeared in front of him. Mo Wuhui’s figure flashed and appeared at the foot of the mountain.

Then, he walked along the mountain path towards the Qingyun Sect’s mountain gate. He knew very well that there was no Protective Mountain Array there.

He was never a headstrong person, nor did he like to make a fuss.

Anything that could be resolved silently would definitely not cause any commotion.

He had once slaughtered a large sect overnight without alerting the birds on the trees.

Of course, those birds were killed by him in the end.

It was not until a few months later that the disciples who had returned from their missions discovered that there was no longer anyone alive in the sect.

“Uncle, what’s the matter?” A Qingyun Sect disciple patrolling at the mountain gate stopped Mo Wuhui and asked with a smile.

Mo Wuhui had a benevolent look and a friendly smile as if he was an old man from the nearby village. Hence, the disciples did not see anything suspicious about it.

Furthermore, many people have come to visit the sect recently. So they were already used to it.

Mo Wuhui smiled kindly, but no one noticed the cruel killing intent hidden in his eyes.

He could kill indiscernibly. He did not need to touch these disciples to silently claim their lives.

However, at this moment, Mo Wuhui’s expression switched as if he was petrified. At the same time, a bolt of lightning suddenly appeared in the sky above his head and struck his body silently…

This time, there were no energy ripples or sound.

If not for Mo Wuhui’s twitching body and muffled groans, one would even suspect that the lightning was an illusion.

Those few disciples retreated in fear and ran far away.

It was not that they did not have compassion, but they had heard about Gu Yugi’s incident.

They knew that this sudden bolt from the blue must not be touched.

Or else, the lightest punishment would be getting bald, and not a hair would grow. The worst would be death.
