There was a circle of wooden chairs in the spacious hall.
The faces of the cultivators sitting on the wooden chairs were all extremely unfamiliar and cold.
Hei Luo respectfully reported, "Nine Serenities Hall Master, according to our informants, the disciples of the Sword Sect have arrived at Burial Ridge today and entered the Qiu Clan to inquire about the situation. Just as we expected."
Nine Serenities Hall Master's voice was hoarse as he asked, "Have you investigated the identities of the people who came?"
"Two people from the Sword Sect came this time. One of them has an ordinary appearance and his cultivation base is restrained. We don't know what methods he has, but we don't have any information on him. He should be an ordinary disciple of the Sword Sect.
The other cultivator is quite famous. "A sinister smile appeared on Hei Luo's pale face.
"What do you mean?" Nine Serenities Hall Master's interest was piqued.
Hei Luo firmly said, "The other cultivator is the first on the Yellow Rankings, Haoran Sword, Ji Chuan."
"Ji Chuan." Nine Serenities Hall Master repeated the name and immediately let out a sinister laugh. "In that case, it can be considered an unexpected gain.
This Ji Chuan has been at the top of the Nascent Soul bounty list in Hades for quite some time. This time, we'll take him as a bonus. "
They had long wanted to get rid of Ji Chuan as soon as possible.
However, Ji Chuan was at the top of the Fourth Realm Cultivator Rankings. Ordinary Fifth Realm cultivators weren't even his match.
If they sent a powerful Spatial Tempering cultivator to ambush Ji Chuan, although Ji Chuan wouldn't be a match for them, everyone knew that the speed of sword control techniques of sword cultivators was the fastest among the Six Cultivators of True Virtue.
In addition, the methods of the Sword Sect's disciples were unpredictable. Thus, if Ji Chuan wanted to escape, it wouldn't be too much of a problem.
However, once they attacked, they wouldn't be able to kill Ji Chuan in a short period of time and erase all traces. By the time the human reinforcements reacted and arrived, the ones to die would be the cultivators of Hades.
If they were unlucky, they would be able to uncover more information and possibly implicate an entire hall of cultivators of Hades.
Under such circumstances, unless they were absolutely certain that they could kill Ji Chuan, the Hades Hall wouldn't rashly attack him.
If they wanted to kill Ji Chuan, they would have to send a Sixth Realm cultivator, that is, a Deity Transformation cultivator...
However, this was human territory after all, and the Hades cultivators' movements were restricted everywhere.
Even in the Hades, Divine Transformation Realm cultivators were people with extremely high statuses. It should be known that the existence of the Prefecture Branch Palace Master was only at the Void Refinement Realm.
For Deity Transformation cultivators of the Hades, the cost and time required to set up their identities was undoubtedly extremely high.
In addition, the higher the cultivation level of the cultivator, the fewer the number of cultivators. Their methods were also clearer. Once they made a move, the possibility of their identity being exposed would be greater. This was one aspect.
On the other hand, Deity Transformation cultivators were related to many aspects. As the saying goes, a slight move in one part could affect the whole situation. They couldn't be easily lost.
You Hades set up an ambush to kill that human genius, but can you be sure that the human genius didn't intentionally expose his traces and use himself as bait to lure Hades into action?
Hades had suffered such a loss before.
Because of his impulsiveness and blindness, he had rashly attacked the genius cultivators of the Human Clan without careful consideration.
As a result, they were ambushed instead. In the end, several Prefecture Branch Palace Masters were wiped out and suffered heavy losses. Thousands of years of preparation and concealment went down the drain.
With this as an example, whenever Hades cultivators took action, they would either be extremely cautious and make ample preparations, or they would do so with the intention of making a trade from the very beginning.
However, there had to be a return on the exchange.
For someone like Ji Chuan, if you sent a Deity Transformation cultivator to make trouble for him, it would be a waste if they fell into an ambush. How could Hades be willing to gamble with a Deity Transformation cultivator?
Gambling with the life of a Deity Transformation cultivator just to get rid of a Nascent Soul cultivator?
The Hades cultivators weren't crazy.
Therefore, even though the Hades cultivators had an endless desire to kill Ji Chuan, due to the awkward situation, they could only allow Ji Chuan to do as he pleased most of the time.
The situation of the genius cultivators of the Human Clan was basically the same as Ji Chuan. Generally speaking, they were still free and aboveboard.
After all, it couldn't be said that the cultivators of the Human Clan were so scared by a hidden Hades cultivator that they didn't dare to leave their sect, could it?
… …
"It's almost time. Get ready to move. Let's end this quickly and settle everything before the next batch of people from the Sword Sect arrives!
If this operation goes smoothly, even the Sword Sect will suffer great losses. "Hallmaster Nine Serenities stood up and gave the order in a cold voice.
There was a hint of pride in his tone. "We're just a small provincial branch. If we really succeed, even the headquarters will have to look at us in a different light!"
It was no wonder that he was so proud.
An existence at the level of the Sword Sect was filled with murderous intent. Even the headquarters of Hades wouldn't dare to face them head-on.
If their plan succeeded, the Sword Sect would have to bear a grudge against them.
This was a monstrous merit, and also a great scheme to subdue the superior!
The other high-level Devil Cultivators also stood up at this moment. Like Hallmaster Nine Serenities, they pressed their hands to their chests and spoke in a solemn and fanatical voice.
"The Heavenly Devil is formless and mysterious. Joy, sorrow, and sorrow, all return to dust!"
.....
Lu Qingshan and Ji Chuan's figures slowly landed in front of a small Origin Orchid vein.
The hundred or so Cultivation Clans of various sizes in Burial Ridge were mostly built on Origin Orchid veins.
Of course, the Origin Orchid vein occupied by the Qiu Clan was the largest and most productive.
This time, the vein that Lu Qingshan and Ji Chuan had come to belonged to the Luo Clan.
The Luo Clan was a small clan ranked at the bottom of the Burial Ridge. The strongest cultivator in the clan was only an early-stage Golden Elixir.
Naturally, the vein they owned was only a small one.
Similarly, the Origin Demons entrenched in such a small vein weren't strong and there weren't many of them.
"According to what Clan Head Qiu said, as soon as these Origin Demons are eliminated, a new batch of Origin Demons will immediately emerge from the source and make a comeback."
Ji Chuan said in a low voice, "The problem is, how do these Origin Demons know that the previous batch of Origin Demons has been eliminated?
There must be a hidden hand that we don't know about. "
"If we can find this hidden hand, we might be able to get a glimpse of the whole leopard and follow the vine to the melon."
"Then let's use the Origin Demons in this small vein as practice and see how they'll make a comeback," Lu Qingshan said coldly.
Ji Chuan nodded. "Let's do it then."
The two of them flashed and entered the vein without any hesitation.
The Origin Demons in the Qiu Clan's vein were relatively stronger. There was more than one rank-five Origin Demon. Naturally, they had to be careful.
However, the Origin Demons in this small vein were only rank-three at most. To them, slaughtering them was as easy as chopping vegetables. Hence, they didn't have much to worry about.
For efficiency's sake, the two of them even created a huge commotion after entering the vein to attract the Origin Demons.
"If all the Origin Demons that invade Burial Ridge are invaded by Devil Qi like the Origin Demons in the Qiu Clan's vein, they won't attack us fearlessly even if they know that there's a huge difference in strength between us," Lu Qingshan said.
Ji Chuan nodded slowly.
A moment later, several scarlet eyes appeared in the surroundings and pounced on Lu Qingshan without hesitation.
Lu Qingshan sucked in a deep breath. "As expected … the Origin Demons invading Burial Ridge have all been corroded by Devil Qi."
Whoosh!
In the next moment, with a thought, strands of Sword Qi left his body and flashed like flying swords.
One of the Origin Demons pouncing on Lu Qingshan flew into the air and was about to howl when a sword light flashed and a huge gash appeared on its neck. Blood splattered everywhere.
Blood rained down.
Lu Qingshan didn't need to use his flying swords to deal with these Origin Demons. Just the strands of Sword Qi were enough.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Whoosh! Three more strands of Sword Qi flew out and mercilessly reaped the Origin Demons' fragile lives.
In a breath's time, the Origin Demons that had just gathered were all wiped out.
Lu Qingshan wasn't satisfied. He continued to head deeper into the vein with Ji Chuan, constantly clearing out the Origin Demons that occupied the vein.
When they reached the bottom of the vein, a huge late-stage third-rank snake-shaped Origin Demon appeared before them. It occupied the richest part of the vein.
Just like the one they'd seen in the Qiu Clan's vein, the snake-shaped Origin Demon was constantly devouring the Yellow Springs Death Qi in the vein. It flicked its scarlet tongue as it stared at Lu Qingshan.
When he saw this, Lu Qingshan only snorted coldly.
"Go!"
A bolt of lightning flashed as the Peach Blossom Sword left his body.
Nirvana Piercing Sword Intent gathered in the sword, and the Peach Blossom Sword instantly shot toward the snake-shaped Origin Demon.
The snake-shaped Origin Demon was covered in a layer of grayish-yellow scales that looked extremely tough.
However, it was useless.
When the flying sword collided with the snake-shaped Origin Demon's scales, a cold light flashed across the Peach Blossom Sword.
A wave of piercing Nirvana Will instantly burst out.
Nirvana Piercing Through Everything.
When the Peach Blossom Sword's tip touched the tough scales, they didn't even produce a single spark before they were turned into nothingness.
Following this trajectory, the flying sword pierced through the snake-shaped Origin Demon's vital point.
Fresh blood splattered everywhere. It was a one-hit kill!
