Chapter 108 - 108 Not Heartless, But Amorous
108 Not Heartless, But Amorous
“Fail… How can they fail?”
Iron Tooth muttered uneasily, finding it difficult to accept this possibility.
In his eyes, the people involved in this operation were all senior experts and they were very well-prepared. They should not have failed.
Liu Ruxue couldn’t help but glance at the figure who was in the midst of breaking through the Foundation Establishment realm. Her gaze wavered.
This person’s sudden appearance probably had something to do with the failure of the Demon Cult’s operation.
She thought of something and was secretly shocked, “No way. Did Young Master escape, which caused the sacrifice to fail? Then for some reason, Young Master directly ascended to the Foundation Establishment realm.”
Liu Ruxue injected Spiritual Energy into her eyes and widened her eyes as she looked at the figure in the fire. Then, her body trembled.
Although she still could not see his face clearly, based on his size, she was even more certain that this was Song Shi.
“It really is him!”
Liu Ruxue’s beautiful eyes sparkled. She had long gotten used to Song Shi’s body and knew where there was more meat and where there was less meat. There was no mistaking him this time.
Elder Yuan glanced at Liu Ruxue’s abnormality and calmly replied to Iron Tooth, “The divine projection just now has dissipated. Do you think there’s still a chance that they will do it again?”
Iron Tooth’s expression changed. When he saw powerful auras appear in the distance, he revealed a look of fear, “Looks like something really happened. The two of you can do whatever you want next.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he hurriedly turned around and ran.
This time, the core of the Sacrifice Array Formation was broken. Not to mention that the Dragon Vein Qi was unharmed, by the time the cultivators of Great Qian reacted, even subordinates’ lives like his would be in danger.
Seeing Iron Tooth leave, Elder Yuan said, “Let’s go too. The officials of Great Qian will soon track us here.”
“He’s not done. We can’t leave.”
Liu Ruxue shook her head and turned to walk towards Song Shi.
“It really is him!”
Elder Yuan was surprised to see that Liu Ruxue was so sure.
The originally dejected Big Smart’s ears twitched, and he revealed an ecstatic expression.
A scorching heat wave a.s.saulted their faces. Many of the surrounding houses had already been burned by the flames, and the air was filled with the smell of smoke.
“What a powerful True Essence Energy… No, this person cultivated both Immortality and Martial Arts. What he condensed is even more powerful than the the True Essence Energy!”
Elder Yuan was shocked.
Martial artists focused on internal cultivation and cultivated Genuine Qi and True Essence in the early stages.
Cultivators cultivated the Spiritual Qi of the outside world and cultivated it into Spiritual Energy and Spiritual Essence.
One was inside and the other was outside. They each had their own focus, overlaps, strengths and weaknesses.
It would naturally be perfect if one cultivated both Immortality and Martial Arts. However, very few people would do this. After all, it would take more time and resources. Not to mention that Song Shi was a lone cultivator and did not have the support of a cultivation family or sect.
She clicked her tongue in wonder, “A rogue cultivator can actually cultivate both immortality and martial arts. He’s really a peerless genius. Miss Xue’er, you must bring him to the palace. With his talent, it’s very easy for him to pa.s.s the inspection and successfully enter the inner sect.”
“Yeah.”
Liu Ruxue nodded. She did not expect Song Shi’s Talent to be so powerful. It had only been a short while, but he had already reached the Foundation Establishment realm.
Ads by PubFuture Even as a high-grade spiritual root, she still had to rely on the other party’s help to reach the late-stage Qi Refinement realm so quickly.
This speed had already alarmed the inner sect. But Song Shi was even faster than her!
It could be seen how terrifying Song Shi’s talent was.
“He is definitely a pearl that was buried in the mortal world. Now, we’ve discovered him!”
Elder Yuan smiled. “In the past, Great Qian’s management was very strict. Many cultivation geniuses were buried. Now, they won’t be. He will be the most dazzling genius in this generation.”
“That’s right.”
Liu Ruxue had a complicated expression on her face. She was both impressed and happy. She also felt a little ashamed of being so easily surpa.s.sed.
After all, she had initially treated Song Shi as a Furnace. In the end, he was even more powerful than her. Now, she was like a Furnace to him.
Fortunately, he was moved and changed his att.i.tude in time, turning her into his Dao companion.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
When Liu Ruxue and Elder Yuan was getting excited about what happened, three figures appeared behind them with golden tokens hanging on their waists.
“Someone is at the Foundation Establishment realm. Their aura is so powerful.”
“Are those two demons from the Demon Cult? How dare they stay here?”
The leader glanced at Song Shi, who was in the Foundation Establishment realm. Then, he frowned and stared at Elder Yuan.
“Everyone, you’ve misunderstood. We’re from the Yao Moon Palace. We’re here to protect a disciple of the palace.”
Elder Yuan was neither servile nor overbearing. Her words raised Song Shi’s status by a lot. He changed from a Furnace to a disciple, showing the change in her att.i.tude.
“Yao Moon Palace!”
The Golden Commander of the Demon Slayers Division narrowed his eyes.
The Yao Moon Palace was neither righteous nor evil. Furthermore, it had an ambiguous relationship with the royal family of Great Qian and did not rebel, so he did not show too much hostility to them.
He asked, “You should be an outer sect elder, right? When did you come here?”
“Two days ago, I came to pick up two disciples who were training. One of them happened to touch the threshold of Foundation Establishment and reached it here just now. We’re in the middle of protecting him.”
Elder Yuan directly omitted mentioning their encounter with Sky Demon Cult’s Jiu Yu.
“Oh, he’s already at the Foundation Establishment realm at such a young age. Looks like his future is limitless. The Yao Moon Palace has taken in another good disciple.”
The three Golden Commanders revealed looks of surprise. They knew the tradition of the Yao Moon Palace. Those who could come out to train were all young and outstanding, but those who could reach the Foundation Establishment realm during the training were definitely not simple.
“White River, these two disciples are in your jurisdiction. Do you remember them?”
The commander-in-chief looked to his left.
“This girl is indeed training here. The person inside is at the Foundation Establishment realm. His essence energy is a little terrifying, but I can’t see his exact appearance.”
White River explained the situation to what he knew.
“Everyone, this is my ident.i.ty token.”
Elder Yuan tactfully took out a jade crescent token with the words “Yao Moon” on it. It emitted a special fluctuation.
“It seems that they are indeed from the Yao Moon Palace. What happened today has nothing to do with them, so there’s no need to waste time here.”
The leader nodded.
“Three cultivators, must have came to chase after the Sky Demon Cult cultivators. I saw a cultivator escape that way.”
Elder Yuan pointed in the direction where Iron Tooth had left.
“Thank you!”
The three of them were overjoyed and turned into three streaks of light that flew into the distance.
Elder Yuan sat cross-legged on the ground and said to Liu Ruxue, “Let’s guard him here in case someone kills him as a rebel cultivator.”
“Yeah.”
Liu Ruxue sat down cross-legged and looked at Song Shi, whose aura was getting stronger and stronger. She was at a loss.
Previously, when Song Shi was still at the Qi Refinement realm, she did not think much of it. Now that he had suddenly become a Foundation Establishment cultivator, she felt a little ashamed of her inferiority.
In the cultivation world, realms was determined seniority. She felt that she was not worthy of Song Shi anymore.
“Are you feeling inferior?”
Elder Yuan could tell what she was feeling and pointed it out.
“A little… I’m afraid that he will dislike me in the future.” Liu Ruxue was a little uneasy.
“If he favors the new and throws out the old, it is very normal1. You have to be mentally prepared to be abandoned by him.”
After all, Elder Yuan had been through this before, so she reminded her.
“I don’t think so.”
Liu Ruxue pursed her red lips, “From his att.i.tude towards his family, he’s not a heartless person.”
“Although he’s not heartless, he might be amorous. When you go to the Yao Moon Palace, there will be more outstanding women. Which man can resist it? You have to be prepared to share him with other women.”
Elder Yuan shook her head.
Liu Ruxue was silent. She didn’t want to share her man, but she knew that if Song Shi continued to be this outstanding, such an outcome was unpreventable.
