Cultivation: Immunity to Negative Effects

Chapter 259: Chapter 259: Rage and Investigation

The next instant, Yu Wan reappeared a thousand miles away.

At the same time, she clutched a Protective Jade Talisman that radiated a powerful aura.

Her luck was good, however. The teleportation had not only taken her far from the battlefield but had also landed her right next to an Immortal City.

She quickly flew inside and crushed a Tier Three Communication Talisman, sending a distress message to the Cyan Cloud Sect.

Pfft!

Then, her face finally paled, and she couldn’t stop herself from spitting out a large mouthful of dark red blood.

Clearly, even though she had escaped, she had still been inevitably wounded by a sliver of the enemy’s Sword Qi.

’Damn it! I don’t care who you are, just you wait! I, Yu Wan, will not let you get away with this!’

Yu Wan quickly took out a precious Healing Elixir and swallowed it, only to find her injuries were still extremely severe. Gritting her teeth, she secretly swore this oath in her heart.

This time, not only was she gravely injured, but two powerful sect members had died, and she had lost a Tier Four Shifting Talisman and a Middle Grade Magical Treasure.

Even the items she had bought at the auction were gone.

Those items had been given to the Cyan Cloud Elders for safekeeping, which should have been safer. But with the Elders’ deaths, everything had surely fallen into the hands of that mysterious cultivator.

And even though she was alive, she would be punished upon returning to the Sect. Not even her master could completely protect her.

After all, the losses she had caused this time were too great.

Moreover, while her injuries could be healed, it would certainly cost her a great deal of Cultivation time and Spirit Stones.

Furthermore, for someone as proud as her, this experience was a massive psychological blow.

—

’What a pity! That bitch actually had a Tier Four Shifting Talisman and a Middle Grade Magical Treasure. That old fossil from the Cyan Cloud Sect really dotes on her!’

Meanwhile, a hundred miles from where the Cyan Cloud Elders were killed, a tall and upright Golden Core male cultivator stood atop a large mountain, facing Golden Crow City.

This man was none other than Zhang Chi. One hand was behind his back, while the other gestured through the air.

Everything a hundred miles away was enveloped by his powerful Divine Thought, and the seven Magical Treasure Flying Swords were under his complete control.

After shaking off the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower Master’s pursuit, he hadn’t left. Instead, he had returned to the outskirts of Golden Crow City.

He hadn’t gotten close, however. His Divine Thought was comparable to that of a Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator, allowing him to perceive the situation from over a hundred miles away.

The reason he had returned was precisely to attempt to kill Yu Wan.

He knew it was unlikely to succeed. After all, the major sects placed great importance on their Nascent Soul Seeds. This was especially true for Yu Wan of the Cyan Cloud Sect, who was the most valued disciple of that Supreme Elder.

But that didn’t stop him from giving it his best shot. Even if he failed, he could still teach her a lesson.

SWISH!

At that moment, Zhang Chi shook his head slightly. With a wave of his hand, the Sword Array a hundred miles away instantly dissipated. The Sword Light circled the scene once, then swept up all the spoils of war and brought them back.

Only then did Zhang Chi truly depart from the vicinity of Golden Crow City.

Phew!

Xiao Yunhong, the Cangwu Twin Sisters, and the others couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief, only then realizing their backs were soaked with cold sweat.

The sudden appearance of the Sword Array and its powerful execution of the Cyan Cloud Elders had clearly terrified them.

They had all been extremely worried that the attacker would come for them next.

If that happened, they wouldn’t be able to escape even if they tried. Their fate would most likely be the same as the three from the Cyan Cloud Sect.

Fortunately, the attacker paid them no mind. The Flying Swords merely circled near them once before leaving with the spoils.

"Thank goodness we didn’t speak ill of that senior Sword Cultivator behind his back, and we didn’t agree to help just now!"

"Exactly! That Yu Wan and her group must have been running their mouths. That’s why they were targeted!"

"See? What did I tell you? I was right! He distinguishes between friend and foe and is by no means someone who kills the innocent! That bitch Yu Wan didn’t believe it, and look at her now!"

Afterward, they couldn’t help but feel incredibly fortunate.

Even with the Flying Swords long gone, looking at the scene still felt as surreal as a dream.

RUMBLE...

It took them a while to completely calm down. Just as they were preparing to leave, two streaks of Escape Light arrived at almost the same time. It was the two Nascent Soul powerhouses from the Golden Sun Sect and the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower.

Clearly, the earlier battle had alerted them, but unfortunately, they had arrived too late.

Or rather, the battle had ended too quickly.

In fact, before the two Nascent Soul experts arrived, the attacker could have easily ambushed and killed the members of the Cangwu Sect and the Profound Yin Sect if he had wanted to.

"What happened here?"

Both Nascent Soul experts wore looks of confusion.

"This is what happened..."

Xiao Yunhong and the others didn’t dare to hide anything, immediately recounting everything they had seen in detail.

They didn’t know the attitude of the two Nascent Soul experts, so they didn’t add any personal opinions, much less reveal their admiration or even reverence for the mysterious cultivator.

After all, this incident involved the Cyan Cloud Sect. Their loss of two Golden Core Peak powerhouses made the matter extremely serious.

If things went as expected, the Cyan Cloud Sect was bound to launch a frantic manhunt for the culprit.

"Damn it! It’s that villain from before! How dare he double back? And to ambush a Nascent Soul Seed of the Cyan Cloud Sect? Unacceptable! I must find him and kill him. Fellow Daoist Jin Yang, would you be willing to lend me a hand?"

Hearing the account, the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower Master was both shocked and enraged. Only now did he realize he had been tricked.

Furthermore, he felt that the other party was blatantly provoking him.

"Of course. However, I still have a cauldron of Elixirs that I haven’t finished refining. You should go on ahead. I’ll catch up with you later," Fellow Daoist Jin Yang said with a nod.

Obviously, he had no intention of getting involved in this matter.

In any case, the attacker wasn’t killing indiscriminately; he had only killed some Tribulation Cultivators.

Even the three from the Cyan Cloud Sect seemed to have been targeted only because they were badmouthing him behind his back.

More importantly, the Golden Sun Sect currently had no home base. Provoking this powerful expert of unknown origin was clearly not worth the risk.

After all, even if he was confident he could kill the man, his target wouldn’t just wait around to be killed.

If he offended him and the man launched sneak attacks, he himself would be fine, but the cultivators of the Golden Sun Sect would suffer terribly.

"Fine. If you won’t help, I’ll search on my own. I’ll even team up with the Cyan Cloud Sect. If that’s not enough, I’ll go find Celestial Star True Monarch. I refuse to believe I still won’t be able to find him then!"

The Ten Thousand Treasures Tower Master was very disappointed but didn’t press the issue, nor did he have any intention of giving up.

The reason was simple: they were already enemies. He would only be at ease once the man was dead.

Fortunately, he believed that someone so powerful must have a background; it was impossible for him to just vanish without a trace.

Then, the Nascent Soul expert from the Golden Sun Sect returned, and Xiao Yunhong’s group also departed. The Tower Master immediately began to search the area and, as expected, soon found the spot where Zhang Chi had been standing.

He continued his pursuit, but after reaching a Marketplace, he completely lost the man’s trail.

Luckily, the Supreme Elder of the Cyan Cloud Sect contacted him shortly after. The two major powers, the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower and the Cyan Cloud Sect, joined forces and quickly uncovered some useful clues.

For instance, the target was a VIP at the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower and seemed to have mastered several of the Hundred Skills of Immortal Cultivation to a high degree.

Furthermore, the clues pointed to the suspect most likely being a cultivator from one of the major powers near Golden Crow City.

"Senior Brother Celestial Star’s Celestial Mechanism Calculation Skill has reached Tier Four thanks to that treasure. If we go to him, we can definitely find the culprit much faster!"

Thus, the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower and the Cyan Cloud Sect immediately used their vast connections to begin a secret investigation of Golden Core cultivators from the major powers in the surrounding area.

Feeling that this investigation was too slow, the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower Master and the Cyan Cloud Sect’s Supreme Elder immediately set off together for the Star Sect.
