Chapter 275:
Chapter 275 – Peeping
This news from the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect instantly ignited everyone’s nerves.
The Immortal Cloud Sword Sect’s predicament today lies in the fact that there is no continuation of people at the Harmonization Realm, and all the various measures that are being taken nowadays are also aimed at allowing the cultivation of the sect members to continue to increase, so that someone can break through to the Harmonization Realm.
As long as another Harmonization Realm was produced, the Divine Flame Sect was afraid that it would immediately retreat away from Immortal Cloud City. Otherwise, when the time came to be surrounded by two Harmonization Realms of the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect, the Divine Flame Sect would probably turn into history.
Prior to the incident, the number of peak Orifice Practicing Realm powerhouses that the Immortal Cloud Sword Faction possessed had actually been three. However, just as it was extremely difficult for the Viscera Realm to break through to the Orifices Practicing Realm, the breakthrough of the Harmonizing Orifices Realm was even more difficult.
And the breakthrough of the Orifices Realm, if it fails, there is almost no possibility of starting over again, not to say that there are no heavenly treasures that can make up for the trauma, but the kind of heavenly treasures that you can’t get.
The Immortal Cloud Sword Sect possessed a spirit tree, this was something that everyone knew, and part of the credit for the strength of the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect had to be attributed to this spirit tree.
This kind of spirit tree was already extremely rare, the kind of spirit treasure that could make up for a failed breakthrough was several times rarer than this. With the past strength of the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect’s Dual Harmonized Orifices Realm, it hadn’t been able to collect that kind of spiritual material.
As a result, the three peaks of the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect’s Vessel Practicing Realm, before, were not in a hurry to break through, wanting to build up some more. But having reached this position today, delaying any further would only make the situation even more difficult.
The Immortal Cloud Sword Sect purposely spread this news this time, more or less with the intention of boosting morale in mind, and at the same time, they also wanted to stir up the nerves of the Divine Flame Sect to see if the Divine Flame Sect had any actions.
In case the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect succeeded, the Divine Flame Sect would have to leave immediately, and all the things they had obtained before would have to be spat out one by one. The possibility of the Divine Flame Sect being indifferent was slim to none.
Of course, it was also possible that this news was the Immortal Cloud Sword Faction putting out fake news, after all, things like breakthroughs, it wasn’t like they said which specific day they would break through.
Between the lofty mountains, Chen Fei’s figure leapt, thinking about the Immortal Cloud Sword Faction.
The alchemy tasks within the Dan Master Alliance would most likely experience some fluctuations due to such news. Chen Fei’s concern was naturally whether or not the Spirit Snow Pill’s tasks would decrease.
Nowadays, relying on the situation of the two factions competing against each other, Chen Fei had gained a lot of benefits. Otherwise, if Chen Fei wanted to open up thirteen orifices, according to the number of alchemy pills within the previous alliance, it would take at least six or seven years.
This speed was naturally already very fast as well, but compared to today’s efficiency, it was undoubtedly a lot worse again.
In all things, one was afraid of comparison, and also afraid of going from luxury to frugality, that was too much of a test of one’s heart.
Less than an incense stick, Chen Fei saw a huge manor appear in the distance, this is exactly the destination this time, Mo Yang Villa.
Mo Yang Villa, a property of the Xian Yun Sword Sect, the nature is somewhat similar to the Xian Yun Merchant Team, and this mission, it is the Xian Yun Sword Sect that issued the order, letting the Yuan Chen Sword Sect handle the completion.
The Immortal Cloud Sword Sect also knows that if it orders a mission to fight against the Divine Flame Sect, all sects will resist, after all, that is more or less a bit difficult.
Then Xian Yun Sword Faction simply handed over other chores to the various sects, going into battle to kill the enemy didn’t dare, there was always no reason to refuse other things, right?
Yuan Chen Sword Sect indeed can’t refuse, nowadays a lot of chores have already crowded out all the time of Yuan Chen Sword Sect’s aperture training realm, this time it is the other aperture training realm can’t go away, and thus this task was given to Chen Fei.
Chen Fei’s figure flickered and stood in front of the door of Mo Yang Villa, and soon, the people of Mo Yang Villa spotted Chen Fei and hurriedly greeted him.
“But Yuan Chen Sword Faction, Palace Master Chen?” Qian Jianlong arrived in front of Chen Fei and arched his hand.
Qian Jianlong was a Viscera Practicing Realm martial artist, but when facing Chen Fei, Qian Jianlong was not cautious, but instead looked at Chen Fei with an attitude of equality, and the bottom line was naturally the Immortal Cloud Sword Faction.
Although the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect was in constant trouble nowadays, and was even at risk of being destroyed, but in today’s world, the deterrent power for other sects around it still existed.
Qian Jianlong, as the Lord of the Mo Yang Villa, his status was there, and he did not need to grovel to Chen Fei.
“Villa Master Qian!” Chen Fei arched his hand.
“This way please, Hall Master Chen, the other one has already arrived and is now resting in the lobby.” Qian Jianlong gave a slight lead with his right hand and led Chen Fei to the middle of the mountain manor’s hall.
As soon as he crossed the threshold, a gaze was projected on Chen Fei’s body, and the gaze was filled with aggression, as if he wanted to tear him alive.
Chen Fei turned his head to look, and met that gaze directly. The air in the lobby fluctuated slightly, and Qian Jianlong, who was on the side, stifled a grunt and involuntarily took a step backward.
“Chen Fei of the Yuan Chen Sword School? Truly a later generation!”
Fang Zhehua looked Chen Fei up and down, withdrew his gaze, picked up the tea on the table and took a light sip, saying expressionlessly.
“Elder Fang is too kind.”
Chen Fei arched his hand and walked over to a side chair and sat down. The subordinate at the side hurriedly served the tea, then carefully retreated to the side.
Chen Fei picked up the teacup and rattled the tea leaves with the lid as some information about Fang Zhehua flashed through his mind.
Elder of the Changhong Sect, it had been more than twenty years since he had broken through to the Orifice Practicing Realm, there was no way to know exactly what level his cultivation had reached, and he hadn’t really put up a fight in many years.
Rumor had it that Fang Zhehua was cold and mean, and did not show any respect for many people.
That collision of gazes just now was considered a dismount, and Chen Fei was bound to make a bit of a fool of himself in order to close the show if his mind power was insufficient and he was scared back. “Many thanks to both of you for being able to come to the manor today, Qian Mou makes a long story short, first of all, the things that happened this time, with both of you to say a little bit.” Qian Jianlong seemed as if he did not see what had just happened, arching his hand at Chen Fei and Fang Zhehua.
“From what I’ve heard, it was the loss of the Green Yang Grass planted by Mo Yang Villa, as well as the Blood Snakes that were kept were stolen as well? Then what have you all grasped, just explain the situation.”
Fang Zhehua waved his hand, not wanting to hear any more about the content of the mission, and instead asked Qian Jianlong to directly explain the circumstances of the discovery.
“What Elder Fang said is very true.”
Qian Jianlong smiled faintly and clapped his hands as the subordinate outside the door brought in two plates holding the Green Yang Grass as well as a dead blood snake.
The Green Yang Grass was not a spirit material level herb, and when swallowed directly, it did not have much of an effect in promoting cultivation. However, Qing Yang Grass can be used to feed demonic beasts, and at the same time, the refining of some spirit pills also requires the use of Qing Yang Grass as a supplementary material.
Therefore, although the green sun grass is not a spiritual material, but the value is very high, also because of this, the immortal cloud sword sect will be set up under the Mo Yang Villa, used to plant the green sun grass specially.
As for the blood snake, a kind of demonic beasts, blood and flesh have not bad energy, boiled and swallowed, for the body refining realm, can greatly enhance the cultivation.
Even for the Orifice Training Realm, swallowing the flesh of a blood snake had the effect of cultivation promotion. It was definitely not as good as a spirit elixir like the Spirit Snow Elixir, but it was definitely faster than cultivating on one’s own.
As for the blood snakes, the one with the best effect was the blood snake’s bile, which could be taken to brighten the eyes, and when taken in large quantities, it could even enhance the power of the mind to a certain extent.
The terrain of the Mo Yang Villa is very suitable for the growth of blood snakes, and it is in the hinterland controlled by the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect. For decades, nothing has happened.
But recently, there had been a succession of incidents where the Green Sun Grass and the Blood Snake had been lost.
The first to suspect it was definitely the Divine Flame Sect’s people. However, this place was in an area under the absolute control of the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect, so if someone from the Divine Flame Sect really came here, the possibility of being discovered was too high, and there was a danger of them perishing.
And if it was really someone from the Divine Flame Sect, I’m afraid that not just a little bit of Green Sun Grass and the Blood Snake would be lost, but the entire Mo Yang Villa would have to be wiped out.
Only then would it be in line with the Divine Flame Sect’s consistent style of behavior.
This time, the mission issued by the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect was to find out the reason for the loss of the Green Sun Grass and the Blood Snake. The Immortal Cloud Sword Sect suspected that it was a recent loose cultivator who saw the current situation and couldn’t help but strike.
Thus, the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect’s request is very simple, catch the person who stole it and kill him directly, without bringing him to the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect.
“At first, the Green Yang Grass wasn’t lost, it was just that many blood snakes shriveled up. Towards the end, we realized that the blood snakes were being secretly bled, and that someone was stealing the snake blood.” Qian Jianlong whispered.
“To be able to secretly bleed without God realizing it, then it’s obviously done by someone from your mountain villa. Even if it wasn’t someone from the mountain villa, it must have been someone from the mountain villa who conspired with someone from outside to do this.”
Fang Zhehua asserted that the defense of the Mo Yang Mountain Villa was actually very strict, and before the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect sent out its ministry, there was even a strong practitioner of the Orifices Realm sitting here.
It was just that nowadays, they had all been transferred away by the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect to other, more important areas to hold down the fort.
But even so, the number of Viscera Realm martial artists inside the mountain villa is also very high, almost every place is patrolled. After all, the Green Yang Grass and the Blood Snake were of great value, and could easily attract the prying eyes of others.
“Previously, we concluded the same thing, and thus inventoried the entire mountain villa, but in the end, we found nothing.”
Qian Jianlong shook his head and picked up the blood snake on the disk, turning its wound over and showing it to Chen Fei and Fang Zhehua.
Chen Fei glanced at it and realized that on the blood snake’s body, there was a section of black wounds, which were fine and neat, obviously injured by a force that could be controlled.
And this force was extremely strong, this point of wounding had directly destroyed the blood snake’s exuberant life force.
“A few days ago, a group of guards were on patrol and came across a black shadow, which was drifting around and was grabbing a blood snake to extract its blood. The guards went forward to stop it, the black shadow threw down this blood snake and disappeared in the twinkling of an eye, the guards were unable to intercept it.” Qian Jianlong said in a deep voice.
“Black shadow? It seems like it’s really the work of a loose cultivator!”
Fang Zhehua frowned, although most of the techniques of the loose cultivators were not worth mentioning in the eyes of the big sects, it had to be said that there were quite a few strange techniques in them.
Those strange arts might not be able to fight head on, but in terms of dodging and hiding to gather breath, they all had unexpected power.
“That thief shouldn’t be at the Realm of Practicing Aperture, otherwise I’m afraid that even if there were formations within the mountain villa, they would be mostly destroyed, and that thief wouldn’t have to flee in a daze like that.”
Qian Jianlong smiled and said, this blood snake was obviously the other party was surprised and lost control of his power, killing the blood snake by mistake.
Fang Zhehua nodded, agreeing with this point of view.
Chen Fei didn’t say anything, with a move of his right hand, the blood snake flew in front of him, Chen Fei sensed a trace of breath left in the flesh of the middle snake, and there was indeed no trace of Yuan Qi.
