My Beasts Grind Proficiency For Me

A flicker of movement, almost imperceptible, passed through Yang Jing's eyes, but his expression remained unchanged. He tapped lightly on the Demon-Catching Tripod, and the Wanhua Child, understanding the unspoken command, released a faint, nearly undetectable wisp of Demonic Qi.

The goatee-wearing Cultivator was completely unaware. The Demonic Qi bewitched him so effectively that even his protective Defensive Magical Treasure failed to activate, leaving him with almost no power to resist.

"Is there anyone else in the Cave Mansion?"

Yang Jing asked coldly.

"There are three of my associates inside the Cave Mansion."

The goatee-wearing Cultivator answered obediently.

"What are their Cultivation levels and what are their skills like?"

When Yang Jing heard there were three more people in the Cave Mansion, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

The goatee-wearing Cultivator's mind was now completely enthralled by the Demonic Qi of the Five Aggregates Demon. With no intention of hiding anything, he spilled everything he knew, holding nothing back.

It turned out that he and the three men inside the Cave Mansion were disciples and Guests of the Ruan Family, the Nascent Soul Clan that controlled the Marketplace. They were stationed in the Cave Mansion to lie in wait for their target.

With a thought, Yang Jing transformed into water vapor, concealing his form.

"Go back into the Cave Mansion."

He commanded in the goatee-wearing Cultivator's ear.

The goatee-wearing Cultivator immediately turned and went back into the Cave Mansion.

"Third Brother, who was that? Is it the person those brutes are waiting for?"

A Cultivator was seated in the main hall, his aura heavy and his Magical Power harmonious. Among Golden Core Cultivators, he could be considered an expert.

However, Yang Jing had seen far too many Golden Core Cultivators with this level of Power. Among the Golden Cores who participated in the Contest of the Nine Marvels, this man wouldn't have even made the list.

The goatee-wearing Cultivator looked at the elder brother he normally revered as a god and suddenly broke into a bizarre smile.

The next moment, a nearly imperceptible chain of Spiritual Light suddenly appeared, binding all the Golden Core Cultivators present. One Golden Core Cultivator, who had been hiding in mid-air clutching a Spirit Talisman, plummeted straight to the ground.

Yang Jing materialized, walked over to the Cultivator, and picked up the Spirit Talisman.

The Cultivator stared at Yang Jing's sudden appearance, his face a mask of utter horror. He had awakened a Minor Divine Technique related to Water Escape at birth. After a century of painstaking cultivation, he had finally mastered Water Escape in the Middle Stage of Golden Core, enabling him to hide within the ambient water vapor.

Relying on his Water Escape, he had committed countless unspeakable deeds for his family, yet he had always emerged unscathed. It wasn't until today, after witnessing Yang Jing's Water Escape, that he finally understood the true meaning of making a fool of oneself.

Of course, Yang Jing had no time for the man's petty thoughts. He formed a hand seal for a Spell, casting a Forbidden Technique to seal the communication Spirit Talisman. Then, he had the Demon-Catching Tripod use its Demonic Qi to inflict Demon Contamination on the four Cultivators.

Under the Wanhua Child's control, the four Cultivators revealed everything they knew, holding nothing back.

Only then did Yang Jing understand the whole story.

Three months ago, three sticks of Upper Realm True Incense appeared in the Marketplace. This incense was a supreme treasure for cultivating one's Dharma Aspect, and it also had the divine effect of enhancing one's Divine Sense. Even though its Tier was only Tier Three Upper Grade, it still sparked a fierce bidding war.

The Ruan Family possessed a lineage that practiced a Dharma Aspect Cultivation Technique, so they were determined to obtain the Upper Realm True Incense. At the auction, another group also competed relentlessly for it.

The Ruan Family's Direct Lineage won the first two sticks, but the price was much higher than in previous years. When it came to the third stick, the other party refused to back down no matter what, bidding a sky-high price and snatching the third stick of Upper Realm Divine Incense.

As one of the masters of the Marketplace, the Ruan Family immediately decided to murder the buyers and steal their prize. Although the other party was extremely cautious and left the Marketplace right after winning the Upper Realm Divine Incense, they were still chased down by the Ruan Family's Cultivators.

The moment the two sides clashed, the Ruan Family suffered a devastating blow due to their opponents' immense Power.

Two Body Cultivators displayed astonishing combat prowess, killing the pursuing Golden Core Cultivators almost instantly. The remaining Foundation Establishment Cultivators were utterly powerless to resist.

In that battle, the Ruan Family suffered disastrous losses. Not only did they lose the Upper Realm True Incense they had worked so hard to purchase, but three of their Golden Core Cultivators were also killed. One of them was even a descendant of one of the clan's Nascent Soul Elders.

Having suffered such a major loss, the Ruan Family—who were used to acting as local tyrants—could hardly let the matter rest. They mobilized a large number of their clan's disciples and Guests to hunt down this group of Cultivators.

Despite such a massive mobilization, they still couldn't capture their targets. In fact, they lost several more Golden Core Guests in the process.

Among that group was one person whose Cultivation had reached Perfect Golden Core; ordinary Golden Cores were no match for her and would die in a single exchange. Another wore a suit of Treasure Armor that rendered him nearly impervious to all techniques.

The Ruan Family was even forced to have a Nascent Soul Elder intervene personally, but he only managed to injure the woman at Perfect Golden Core, allowing the entire group to escape.

It was only then that the Ruan Family realized they had provoked a tough opponent. They not only dispatched two Nascent Soul Elders to hunt them down but also set an ambush in the Cave Mansion the group had originally rented.

They figured that although the group was being hunted, they hadn't fled the area because they must be waiting to rendezvous with someone. The four men in the Cave Mansion were merely bait. At the slightest sign of trouble, the Golden Core Cultivator hiding with Water Escape was to activate the Spirit Talisman, notifying the Ruan Family's Nascent Soul Elders and activating an Array to suppress the newcomer.

Having learned the full story, Yang Jing felt a wave of lingering fear. 'If I hadn't succeeded in Refining the Taiyin Demon-Suppressing Armor before I set out, my disciples might not have been able to escape from the Ruan Family unscathed.'

'I wonder how Si Taizhen's injuries are.'

He glanced at the four men. With a crook of his finger, incomparably sharp strands of Sword Silk shot out and decapitated them all.

Then, his form blurred as he executed Water Escape and flew away from the Marketplace.

A moment later, a massive curtain of light hastily rose over the Marketplace, sealing it off from the outside world. Faced with this shocking development, the Cultivators within the Marketplace grew anxious, asking each other what could have happened to cause the city to activate its Grand Array with such urgency.

Meanwhile, in the Cave Mansion, several Cultivators from the Ruan Family had surrounded the scene, their expressions grim as if facing a powerful foe.

A middle-aged man in fine clothes used his Magical Power to levitate one of the heads from the floor.

"The attacker is a Sword Cultivator with exceptionally high attainment in Swordsmanship. He's mastered Refining Sword into Silk. They had almost no power to resist before they were all decapitated."

Even though he had witnessed many formidable Sword Cultivators, the man in fine clothes was still stunned by this display. A single sword strike had annihilated the Divine Souls of all four men. Not the slightest trace of Alien Magical Power remained on the wounds, dashing his hopes of tracking the culprit through their magical signature.

'A Sword Cultivator who can train their Swordsmanship to such a level is invariably the type to repay grievances directly. They will repay the kindness of a single meal and avenge the smallest slight. If they suffer a loss, they will absolutely never let it go.'

'Thinking of this, a chill crept into the man's heart. To have offended such a Sword Cultivator... Even with the Ruan Family's ten thousand years of history, this would be a grievous blow.'

He had almost no doubt in concluding that the Sword Cultivator who killed the four men was a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

'How could a mere Golden Core Cultivator possibly produce such devastatingly sharp Sword Silk?'
