I Have a Compass for Opportunity

Chapter 406 - 221: Foundation Establishment Trial

Daoist Huixie stared fixedly at the man for a while, his True Essence raging within, causing the surrounding Spiritual Qi to stir.

The man faced Huixie’s might directly, showing no fear on his face, his gaze becoming increasingly fierce.

One was Daoist Huixie, a renowned Demon Cultivator at the Peak of Foundation Establishment in the Linlang Domain.

The other was an evil corpse sealed for five hundred years, a terrifying existence that remained active despite being besieged by countless Foundation Establishment cultivators from the three major sects of Jiuli State.

About to clash, neither seemed afraid of the other.

As the pressure from both sides collided, a battle at the Peak of Foundation Establishment was about to erupt.

"Heh!" Suddenly, Daoist Huixie laughed, withdrew his might, and put away his brush pen, his switch from anger to laughter without any warning.

"I’ll give you some face."

After speaking, Daoist Huixie left as if nothing had happened, with his hands behind his back, soaring through the sky.

Only the evil corpse remained in that void, watching Huixie leave before retracting its gaze.

Then the evil corpse turned its gaze towards the disciples of the Wind Chasing Division in front, fixing its eyes upon Liou Yuan among the crowd.

As the evil corpse cast its gaze,

Liou Yuan seemed to sense something, his body stiffened, and he turned his neck to look towards the corpse’s direction.

He saw only a withered, ominous tree crown shrouded in death, and nothing else.

"Faster!" Liou Yuan wiped away the sweat from his forehead caused by tension, continuing to urge the group forward.

Traveling day and night for several days like this, the Fixed Star Compass would occasionally act up, making Liou Yuan’s heart pound.

Yet the compass needle only shifted, and they had not encountered any attacks.

This left Liou Yuan doubtful, secretly speculating if there was something wrong with the compass.

Until seven days later, when the soaring body of Qingxiao Mountain appeared on the horizon, only then did the weight on Liou Yuan’s heart lift.

Because at this time the Fixed Star Compass finally calmed down.

"What the hell!" Liou Yuan, made overly cautious by the compass these past few days, couldn’t help but mutter, "Could this compass be broken?"

Despite this, Liou Yuan did not slow down at all in the group entering Qingbao County.

Fearing that moving slowly might lead to dying outside the city.

Fortunately, no accidents happened throughout the journey into the city.

Until seeing the barrier of the Star Shining Celestial Array rising above Qingbao County, only then did Liou Yuan feel at ease.

Their return was naturally impossible to conceal.

The Qingxiao Sect’s senior brother, Bu Moying, along with the Wind Chasing Division disciples led by Jia Panshan stationed within Qingbao County immediately came forward to meet them.

Seeing the Wind Chasing Division disciples led by Yan Yingsi looking so miserable, having lost several members, everyone knew something major had occurred this trip.

Bu Moying didn’t dare to ask details, he simply comforted everyone’s injuries, then sent someone to Qingxiao Sect to retrieve top-grade Healing Medicine, before finding an excuse to leave.

He always managed affairs thoroughly, knowing well that as an outsider it wasn’t appropriate to be present for internal matters of Five Extremes Mountain.

The disciples of Wind Chasing Division within Qingbao County had heavy expressions.

Because they didn’t see Tian Qiweng.

Liou Yuan was also covered in wounds, which led the battle-hardened Wind Chasing Division disciples to vaguely guess something.

But no one asked more questions, and they followed Yan Yingsi back to the courtyard under the arch bridge.

Until Liou Yuan took out Tian Qiweng’s head and placed it before everyone, for a moment, the Wind Chasing Division disciples remaining in Qingbao County held their breaths.

Even the ever-active Yi Qingyue slightly lowered her head, her expression downcast.

Fortunately, the Wind Chasing Division disciples were accustomed to life-and-death separations, and those brave enough to remain were prepared for the possibility of their demise, none of them cried.

According to the rules of Disciplinary Hall, disciples who died in battle outside were to be buried in the Disciplinary Hall’s Lie Mountain.

If no remains were left, they used the belongings of the deceased to set up a cenotaph.

So the group gathered the remains of the fallen Disciplinary Hall disciples, including Tian Qiweng, preparing to take them back to Five Extremes Mountain for a proper burial after the mission in Qingbao County was completed.

For any Disciplinary Hall disciple who died in service, the sect would provide generous compensation to their family, and if any family members possessed cultivation potential, they would become Outer Sect disciples without assessment, sent to cultivate in Five Extremes Mountain’s Outer Sect.

"It’s also a comfort for the deceased," Liou Yuan heard this rule of Disciplinary Hall for the first time and silently nodded, highly appreciative of Five Extremes Mountain’s approach.

Though the sect’s disciples were fiercely competitive, Five Extremes Mountain stood on principle when it came to major issues.

The affairs of the demon lair were concluded.

The returning Wind Chasing Division disciples, including Yan Yingsi, were all injured to various degrees.

These people naturally settled in the courtyard where Liou Yuan had set up the Cold River Illusionary Water Array to heal, without joining the city’s Wind Chasing Division disciples to withstand Demon Cultivators.

Including Liou Yuan.

In the battle against Xu Hetong, Liou Yuan suffered much more severe injuries than Yan Yingsi. Fortunately, they were mostly superficial, looking intimidating but given Liou Yuan’s present physical resilience, he would recover in ten days or so.

He also settled down peacefully, using the excuse of recovering to continue tempering the Geng Metal Spiritual Qi.

Having refined seventy percent of the Geng Metal Spiritual Qi, only thirty percent remained, Liou Yuan estimated he could completely refine it during his recovery period.

The days passed methodically like this.
