I Can Upgrade My Talent Infinitely

Chapter 560: Chapter 387: Combat 8-Star

The headquarters of the Demon Spirit Sect.

Supreme Elder Zhao Chongguang listened as the Demon Spirit Sect Leader reported some very bad news.

Three of the Demon Spirit Sect’s subordinate Foundation Establishment Influences had been wiped out without a sound, including the powerful Hundred Beasts Sect.

There had been no calls for help.

The Demon Spirit Sect Leader only learned of the situation when a disciple from the Hundred Beasts Sect, who had been away on a mission, returned to find his sect destroyed and came to report it.

Upon learning of the situation, the Demon Spirit Sect Leader immediately sent messages to the other subordinate Foundation Establishment Influences. Two of them did not reply.

The implication was obvious.

Therefore, the Demon Spirit Sect Leader immediately reported the situation to Supreme Elder Zhao Chongguang.

"Alright, I understand."

As soon as he heard the news, Zhao Chongguang felt a headache coming on.

Foundation Establishment Influences being wiped out so silently... a situation like this made Zhao Chongguang think of only one possibility: the mysterious Spirit Refiner.

’Why hasn’t the Purple Mist Sect’s mysterious Spirit Refiner gone back?’

After calming himself down, this was the first question that came to Zhao Chongguang’s mind.

The Black Dragon Hall was already making moves against the Purple Mist Sect. The mysterious Spirit Refiner should have returned. They should be causing trouble in the Black Dragon Hall’s own Earth Realm, so why were they still lingering here?

As he thought about it, an idea occurred to Zhao Chongguang.

’Does the mysterious Spirit Refiner think our Demon Spirit Sect is an easy target?’

After dismissing the Demon Spirit Sect Leader, Zhao Chongguang rose and left his residence.

He was going to find someone.

Ding Muchi, the Elder from the Black Dragon Hall stationed here as a Guardian.

Ding Muchi’s Cultivation was at the mid-stage of Core Formation, and he was not far from reaching its peak.

If one were to ask who was the most powerful person within the Demon Spirit Sect right now, it would undoubtedly be this Elder from the Black Dragon Hall.

For every year Ding Muchi spent here, the Demon Spirit Sect had to give him fifty Middle Grade Demon Stones.

This was a full ten Middle Grade Demon Stones more expensive than the price for the Black Dragon Hall Elder who had previously served as Guardian for the Celestial Demon Sect.

An Elder from the Black Dragon Hall had said:

Fifty Middle Grade Demon Stones is already a bargain. Considering the situation with the mysterious Spirit Refiner and the current strength of your Demon Spirit Sect, it should be at least eighty Middle Grade Demon Stones.

The only reason it’s just fifty Middle Grade Demon Stones is that we’re taking into account that the mysterious Spirit Refiner is from the Purple Mist Sect.

Ever since Ding Muchi had been stationed here as Guardian, Zhao Chongguang had rarely interacted with him.

Ding Muchi himself had said not to disturb him unless it was for something important.

He needed to hurry up and cultivate to the late-stage of Core Formation.

The Core Formation Demons of the Black Dragon Hall were different from those of the Demon Spirit Sect. The former were ambitious, believing that Core Formation was not their final stop and that they had a chance to ascend to the Nascent Soul Stage in the future.

Most Core Formation Demons from Core Formation Influences felt that it would be an incredible achievement just to cultivate and break through to the late-stage of Core Formation. As for the Nascent Soul Stage, most didn’t even dare to dream of it.

"Fellow Daoist Ding."

Zhao Chongguang had arrived at Ding Muchi’s residence.

"Ah, Fellow Daoist Zhao. If you have something important, just say it." Ding Muchi glanced at Zhao Chongguang before looking away, seemingly entering a state of meditative rest with his eyes closed.

Seeing this, Zhao Chongguang didn’t comment on Ding Muchi’s attitude. Instead, he stated the reason for his visit.

"Fellow Daoist Ding, the mysterious Spirit Refiner from the Purple Mist Sect has appeared in our Demon Spirit Sect’s Earth Realm..."

Before Zhao Chongguang could finish,

Ding Muchi’s eyes snapped open upon hearing this.

This time, his eyes remained open.

"What did you say?! The mysterious Spirit Refiner has appeared in your Earth Realm...?" For a moment, Ding Muchi couldn’t think of a reason why the Spirit Refiner would appear in the Demon Spirit Sect’s territory so soon. He asked, "This can’t be without reason, can it?"

Not even twenty years had passed since the destruction of the Celestial Demon Sect.

Their Black Dragon Hall had even taken action against the Purple Mist Sect. No matter what, it shouldn’t have been possible for the mysterious Spirit Refiner to show up here so soon.

If they were going to surface, it should have been in the Black Dragon Hall’s territory.

"That’s right."

"I knew it. Tell me the details."

Zhao Chongguang nodded and began to recount the cause of the incident from the beginning.

As Ding Muchi listened, he began to look at Zhao Chongguang as if he were an idiot.

He made no effort to conceal the look in his eyes.

"You actually trust the Ghost Cultivator factions? The Black Ghost Cave and the Ghost-Controlling Sect are pushing your Demon Spirit Sect into a pit of fire."

"It shouldn’t be that serious." Zhao Chongguang knew he had been set up by the Black Ghost Cave and the Ghost-Controlling Sect, but not to the extent Ding Muchi was suggesting. "If our Demon Spirit Sect were destroyed by the Celestial Cloud Sect, the disadvantages would outweigh the advantages for both the Black Ghost Cave and the Ghost-Controlling Sect."

"Fellow Daoist Zhao, your thinking is flawed," Ding Muchi said bluntly.

"What insight does Fellow Daoist Ding have?"

Zhao Chongguang was here to ask for help, so he adopted a very humble attitude.

"The Black Ghost Cave and the Ghost-Controlling Sect don’t believe your Demon Spirit Sect will be destroyed by the Celestial Cloud Sect."

"Why?"

"Because of me." Ding Muchi pointed to himself. "As long as I am here, even if the Celestial Cloud Sect wipes out all of your Demon Spirit Sect’s subordinate Foundation Establishment Influences, they won’t dare to attack this place."

Ding Muchi’s confidence didn’t come from his own strength, but from the Black Dragon Hall behind him.

As an Elder of the Black Dragon Hall, his perspective was much broader.

Spirit Refiners were the weakest faction in the Qionglin Domain. Even the Purple Mist Sect, a Nascent Soul Influence, had very limited power to act.

Furthermore, the Purple Mist Sect tended to do things secretively and rarely acted out in the open.

"Fellow Daoist Ding, I understand this point." Zhao Chongguang nodded. He knew very well that as long as Ding Muchi was their Guardian, the prestige of a Black Dragon Hall Elder was enough to ensure the Celestial Cloud Sect wouldn’t dare to attack the Demon Spirit Sect directly.
