I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm

Chapter 285: Chapter 188: Familiar Faces “Accidentally” Meet

A wide-ranging reward was issued by the Celestial Secret Pavilion several months ago, but to this day, there is still no news.

Independent Cultivator Alliance, Heaven-Reaching Tower.

Venerable Lin Hai and Venerable Celestial Sound wait for news every day.

”What on earth is the Celestial Secret Pavilion doing? Still no word at this point?”

In the training room, Venerable Lin Hai wielded a heavy blade with great force, each swing scattering terrifying blade arcs that chopped into high-tier puppets, causing violent explosions that shook the entire training room to its core.

Venerable Lin Hai swung his blade to vent his dissatisfaction and urgency, mumbling to himself, appearing somewhat anxious.

Beside him, Venerable Celestial Sound sat cross-legged as always, strumming his lyre strings. Facing the oncoming blade arcs, he flicked his fingers and sent out sound waves that shattered the blade arcs.

”Brother Lin, stay calm. This person is cautious by nature and skilled at disguises. Finding news of this person won’t be easy,” Venerable Celestial Sound spoke calmly.

”But...!”

Venerable Lin Hai put away his Spirit Blade, and the next moment, the token from the Celestial Secret Pavilion in his bosom began to tremble slightly.

Venerable Lin Hai was overjoyed and said excitedly, ”There’s news!”

Venerable Celestial Sound paused his fingertips, raised his eyes, and his eyes shone brightly.

The two men did not waste any more words and immediately headed to the Celestial Secret Pavilion. As they traveled at full speed, they sent a quick message to Venerable Huo Tian. The three traveled in different directions, spending two days and nights nonstop to reach Luotian City - Celestial Secret Pavilion.

Celestial Secret Pavilion.

The three Divinity Transformation powerhouses arrived.

Lin Wanping warmly greeted them and invited them into the Celestial Secret Chamber.

The impatient Venerable Lin Hai looked at Lin Wanping and got straight to the point, asking, ”Where is that person?”

Seeing the other party’s fierce demeanor and eagerness for intelligence, Lin Wanping dared not delay and quickly said, ”Three months ago, the target appeared in the Spirit Taming Sect; a month ago, the Spirit Taming Sect was besieged jointly by the Blood God Sect, the Corpse Refining Sect, and the Celestial Demon Sect. Even the Tier Seven True Spirit, Purple Sky Thunder Beast, was trapped in a Demon Array. At the critical moment, Sword Immortal Li used his superb array techniques to break the Nine Demons Sect’s Demon Array, saving the Spirit Taming Sect from danger.”

”Ultimately, with the assistance of ’Sword Immortal Li’, the Spirit Taming Sect emerged from peril. Subsequently, the Hundred Refinements Sect provided prompt support and successfully annihilated the invading Nine Demons Sect’s Demon Cultivators.”

”Currently, the target should still be in the Spirit Taming Sect.”

Lin Wanping enthusiastically briefed them on Sword Cultivator Li’s intelligence.

The eyes of the three from Venerable Lin Hai’s group lit up, and without delay, they quickly set out for the Spirit Taming Sect.

At this time, Li Mu bid farewell to Venerable Lei Hong and piloted the Celestial Shuttle Spirit Ship to leave the Spirit Taming Sect, heading towards Luotian City.

The two sides were traveling towards each other, with the distance between them getting shorter and shorter.

Inside the Celestial Shuttle Spirit Ship, Li Mu multitasked, carving a puppet core while constantly keeping his divine thought extended, monitoring the situation ahead of the Celestial Shuttle Spirit Ship.

Soon, Li Mu frowned as his divine thought, under the ’Star Concealment’ technique, detected three high-tier cultivators rushing towards him from a hundred miles away. They traveled at lightning speed and were, remarkably, all ’old acquaintances’.

Li Mu was startled, quickly descended the Celestial Shuttle Spirit Ship, and rapidly set up an illusion array and hidden array to isolate himself.

”What’s the matter?” Venerable Lin Hai looked at the suddenly slowing Venerable Huo Tian and asked in confusion.

”Uh! A spiritual ship a few dozen miles ahead has some unusual activity, but forget it!” Venerable Huo Tian frowned, and when he searched with his divine thought again, its traces had already disappeared.

Venerable Lin Hai frowned. Following Venerable Huo Tian’s guidance, his divine thought swept over, but he found nothing.

The three men traveled swiftly, their figures disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Li Mu emerged from the illusion array, watching their receding backs, frowning and contemplating.

If nothing unexpected happened, they should be heading to the Spirit Taming Sect, and the purpose was obvious: his traces at the Spirit Taming Sect must have been exposed! However, they were destined to come back empty-handed.

Li Mu smiled slightly, confirmed their departure, and resumed piloting the Celestial Shuttle Spirit Ship towards Luotian City.

Spirit Taming Sect.

Venerable Huo Tian, Venerable Lin Hai, Venerable Celestial Sound, the three Divinity Transformation Realm figures, arrived in a hurry.

The aftermath of the Nine Demons Sect’s attack was still present, and the Spirit Taming Sect remained on high alert to guard against any eventualities.

As Venerable Celestial Sound and the others arrived, they were quickly blocked by the patrol team.

”Three Daoists, what brings you to our Spirit Taming Sect?” Shortly afterward, Venerable Lei Hong hurried over, smiling as he gazed at the three.

Venerable Lei Hong kept his True Essence concealed, while he sensed that the three before him bore ill intentions, prompting a slight guard to rise in his heart.

Venerable Celestial Sound held his lyre with one hand, expressionless as he asked, ”Sect Master Lei, the three of us have come to track down a murderer.”

”Murderer?” Venerable Lei Hong’s brow twitched. After a brief moment of thought, he guessed a certain possibility, and his expression slightly darkened.

”What murderer? Our Spirit Taming Sect seems to have no dealings with the Independent Cultivator Alliance. Have you come to the wrong place!” Venerable Leiyin cast a glance at Venerable Celestial Sound. While speaking, he covertly sent a flying message to Venerable Qingwei and the Purple Sky Thunder Beast through the token.

Hearing this, the impulsive Venerable Lin Hai couldn’t hold back, shouting, ”The murderer we are looking for is the Qing Xuan Sect’s Artifact Refining Elder, ’Sword Immortal Li’. He is the murderer who killed our brother, Venerable Tianyun.”

”Venerable Tianyun was as close as a brother to the two of us, and the three of us had sworn an oath of brotherhood long ago. Such a blood feud cannot coexist beneath the same sky. We ask Sect Master Lei to hand over this person.” Although Venerable Lin Hai was aggressive, he was not foolish, and he used the principle of righteousness to pressure Venerable Lei Hong into handing over the person.

Venerable Huo Tian’s body surged with fire attribute True Essence, grinding his teeth as he said, ”Sect Master Lei, I have had prior conflicts with that ’Sword Immortal Li’. This person has stolen my treasured possession, which is crucial for my advancement. We ask Sect Master Lei to call him out.”
