Chapter 40: Demonic Cultivator

"The Yu family went to the Yi family yesterday, saying they wanted to destroy them, but unexpectedly… their entire army was wiped out!"

"The Yu family destroying the Yi family? How is that possible? Aren’t the Yu family relatives of the Yi family? How could they want to destroy them?"

"Hehe, you don’t know this, do you? The three great families of Green Cloud City used to balance each other, and any family could not destroy the other two. But now the Lei family and Huang family are gone, and only the Yi family remains. Naturally, the Yu family wants to rule Green Cloud City alone, but unexpectedly, the Yi family ends up being the victor!"

"The Yi family’s secrets are really deep. It is said that Yi Qianmo is now an immortal. According to news from the Yi family, Yi Qianmo has received the Tianyuan Decree and is about to go to Tianyuan Academy for training. After the Yu family head Yu Changqing took people to the Yi family, the Yu family was destroyed!"

"Immortal!!!!"

In an inn in Green Cloud City, there was a lot of discussion. When the topic of immortals came up, everyone gasped in surprise.

The events at the Yi family have spread throughout Green Cloud City. They could never have imagined that the three families that had stood strong in the city for a hundred years would all be destroyed in just half a month.

Once, the Yi family was wronged and had to get along with everyone, but overnight, they became the biggest family in Green Cloud City. They knew that from then on, this city would belong to the Yi family.

While everyone was talking, a man in black with a hat nearby asked, "Which way is the Yi family going?"

The people discussing turned to look at him, and one joked, "Are you going to join the Yi family too? I suggest you not bother; the Yi family now has so many stage masters, it’s like a sea of cows. Even among the innate experts, there are seven or eight. If you’re not exceptional, you won’t even qualify to work for the Yi family."

"I ask you, which way is the Yi family going?"

The man in black repeated himself, and the temperature in the tavern suddenly dropped a few degrees.

The person swallowed hard and pointed in a direction. After the man in black left, the tavern became lively again.

……

Inside the Yi family’s secret room, Yi Qianmo was glowing. He had taken the last few Qi Nourishing Pills, planning to break through from the first level of the Qi Refining Stage to the third level.

But he didn’t expect that the Chaotic Sword Body consumed much more than he imagined. Upon reaching the second level of the Qi Refining Stage, he used up all the Qi Nourishing Pills.

"It seems that to advance, relying only on the Qi Nourishing Pill is not enough!"

Yi Qianmo thought to himself, "However, with my current level, defeating Yu Youwei would be easy. I still need to visit Green Dragon Mountain!"

The Qi Nourishing Pill, at the Qi Refining Stage, is just an ordinary pill because its effects are mild, so most cultivators can use it. But to enhance their power and refine spiritual energy, they need more powerful pills.

On the way to Green Dragon Mountain, besides looking for rare herbs to make pills, Yi Qianmo’s most important task is still to find Yu Youwei, and he remembers that Yu Youwei left at only the first level of the Qi Refining Stage.

Although the Yin and Yang are combined, Yi Qianmo practices the Chaotic Sword Body, which is more than enough to crush Yu Youwei.

After resting for a moment, Yi Qianmo got up and walked out of the secret room, but at that very moment, his expression suddenly changed.

Outside the secret room stood a person in black clothes wearing a straw hat, the hat was surrounded by black cloth, making it impossible to see their face, but this person’s aura made Yi Qianmo feel uneasy all over.

"Who are you?"

Yi Qianmo asked solemnly.

"The one who will kill you!"

The man in black spoke with a hoarse voice, as if his throat was broken.

"Are you from the Xuanyuan Sect?" Yi Qianmo asked curiously.

"Xuanyuan Sect?"

The man in black looked a bit confused, "You have quite a nerve to offend the Xuanyuan Sect, but there is no need for them to kill you; I will take care of it myself this time."

As soon as he finished speaking, a strong aura of blood curse surged from the man in black, and the terrifying spiritual pressure made Yi Qianmo shiver uncontrollably.

In front of the man in black, he didn’t even have the strength to draw his sword!

"Foundation Establishment Stage!"

Yi Qianmo exclaimed in surprise, "The aura of blood curse, you are a demonic cultivator!"

"You little one, born humble, but your knowledge is vast."

The man in black slowly walked over, and with each step, the pressure around him grew stronger, making Yi Qianmo’s body tremble even more.

"Clang!"

With a flash of sword light, Yi Qianmo activated the Sword Pill, and spiritual power erupted from his core, driving his sword straight at the man in black.

"Sizzle!"

The man in black extended two fingers. Though it seemed slow, he caught Yi Qianmo’s sword between them, and the spiritual power on it instantly vanished.

"Ding!"

The man’s fingers flicked the sword lightly, and a terrifying force traveled down the blade, causing Yi Qianmo to be thrown back, blood pouring from his hands, and his energy surged violently, almost making him fall to the ground.

Just then, the man in black moved swiftly, grabbed Yi Qianmo’s throat, and lifted him up. A terrible spiritual power coursed into him, sealing all the energy pathways in his body.

"Tell me, how did you get into the cave?"

The man in black said coldly.

At that moment, Yi Qianmo finally saw the face beneath the black veil; it was not a face, but a mask that looked like a terrible monster, which was very frightening.

"You… have reached… the Foundation Establishment Stage, which means…" Yi Qianmo’s face turned red, and he was slightly out of breath, "which means… you just… broke through to the Foundation Establishment Stage!"

"Hmm!"

The man in black pondered for a moment and tightened his grip, "Whether I break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage is none of your business; you should worry about your own life!"

"You haven’t fought recently, have you?"

Yi Qianmo asked.

"Little beast, you’re asking for death!"

The man in black let out a cold snort, and the dark energy of the blood curse immediately entered Yi Qianmo’s body.

In an instant, his skin turned a deep black, as if he had been poisoned; this was the power of the Demon Path Technique, which corrupted a person’s blood and flesh.

"I will give you three breaths of time. If you dare to talk back to me again, I will take your life!"

The man in black threatened.

Yi Qianmo could not use his spiritual power. He could communicate with the Sword Pill, but he knew that against a Foundation Establishment Stage demon cultivator, even using the Sword Pill would not be enough to win.

Not to mention, this was in his Yi family’s territory; if a fight really broke out, the entire Yi family would likely be destroyed.

But he did not beg for mercy; instead, he stared at the man in black with his bulging eyes and said, "Do you… feel… the spiritual power in your meridians… becoming unbalanced?"

The man in black was momentarily stunned; he did not expect Yi Qianmo to still be talking back to him at this point and immediately increased his strength.

But just at that moment, the man in black’s body trembled slightly, and Yi Qianmo felt the restraint loosen. He quickly activated his spiritual power, sent it into his left foot, and delivered a powerful kick to the man in black.

The man in black was kicked back a few steps, and he let go, causing Yi Qianmo to fall to the ground. He coughed violently while gripping his sword and immediately began to use his spiritual power to dispel the blood curse energy around him.

But at that moment, the man in black had already recovered, gathering the blood curse energy in his fist and throwing a powerful punch towards Yi Qianmo’s abdomen.

"If you don’t want to die, then behave yourself!"

Yi Qianmo lifted his head and stared at the man in black, surprisingly not moving or dodging.
