Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1306: Chapter 699: Retribution

This is truly taking things to the extreme, in the entire Cultivation World, Great Cultivator Luo Pei’s reputation is completely ruined, even worse than when he was an Independent Cultivator.

Upon hearing the news from the Fuliu Sect, Li Shiming couldn’t help but shake his head.

But revenge has its order. He would first deal with the White Emperor Sect, then find an opportunity to retaliate against the Fuliu Sect.

It’s quite amusing to think that the Fuliu Sect, a sect with abundant resource points, dared to put Great Cultivator Luo Pei on the wanted list.

Great Cultivator Luo Pei was using Sword Escape to fly, a technique of the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion’s Sword Escape, which Li Shiming shared with the Heavenly Ghost.

The ’Black Water Sword’ spirit treasure was used as the vehicle for Sword Escape, its speed was not much slower than the common ’A Step to Heaven’.

Of course, the ’Black Water Sword’ was only maintained at the peak Fourth-grade level, without exposing the aura of the spirit treasure.

His cultivation was also suppressed to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage by the ’Hidden Phoenix Jade Talisman’, as he intended to catch people off guard.

According to intelligence, a Nascent Soul combat team from the White Emperor Sect was nearby, an area frequently visited by Sword Cultivators of the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, both sides considering it a small battlefield.

Even the intelligence department of the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion couldn’t precisely locate this White Emperor Sect’s Nascent Soul combat team’s position, only providing a rough area.

However, Li Shiming used the drone satellite system’s monitoring data, along with information from the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion’s own Sword Cultivators, to exclude Sword Cultivators from the area, accurately pinpointing the White Emperor Sect Nascent Soul Cultivators’ positions.

While using Sword Escape, Great Cultivator Luo Pei checked the monitoring information sent by Li Shiming.

He was posing as a Sword Cultivator of the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, since his magic weapon was a flying sword, employing the Sword Escape technique of the ’Sky-Surging Sword Intent Technique’.

Without drawing near to perceive his aura, one would not discover he was not a Sword Cultivator.

On the monitoring screen provided by the drone satellite system, six blurry figures appeared ahead, judging from experience, it was a combat team of two Nascent Soul Middle Stage practitioners and four Nascent Soul Early Stage practitioners.

As Great Cultivator Luo Pei drew within a certain distance, he sensed the aura of an array, which should be an alert array set up by the White Emperor Sect Cultivators.

Alert arrays are often arranged in areas requiring vigilance. As soon as a cultivator approaches from above, the alert array senses it and informs the cultivator through the communication array.

Great Cultivator Luo Pei harbored not only an Earth Thunder Nascent Soul, but also shared the sensitivity to arrays with Li Shiming, making it impossible for even the most concealed alert arrays to escape his perception.

However, he had no intention of destroying the alert array, as there was simply no need.

His goal was to lure the White Emperor Sect’s Nascent Soul Cultivators to him, his intent being to take revenge on the White Emperor Sect.

Just as he desired, upon receiving the alert array’s message, the six Nascent Soul Cultivators immediately flew towards Great Cultivator Luo Pei.

The six Nascent Soul Cultivators were ecstatic, as their team could once again besiege a Sword Cultivator. Regardless of the Sword Cultivator’s strength, their numerical advantage and seamless coordination would indeed deal a heavy blow to this Nascent Soul Middle Stage Sword Cultivator.

Soon, the six Nascent Soul Cultivators saw Great Cultivator Luo Pei, and he saw them too.

The distance between the two parties grew closer, each able to discern the other’s countenance.

”Hmm, why does this cultivator’s face look so familiar?” one of the Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivators among the six wondered suspiciously.

Nascent Soul Cultivators have excellent memory, able to recall with ease any information they’ve glimpsed.

”It resembles the cultivator on the wanted order issued by the sect in conjunction with the Fuliu Sect. No, it’s a Great Cultivator!” Another Nascent Soul Cultivator recalled and replied.

Upon recalling the Great Cultivator, his voice instinctively rose, even using spiritual power to enhance it.

Regrettably, by this time, the distance between the six Nascent Soul Cultivators and Great Cultivator Luo Pei was nearly within combat range.

Upon employing ’A Step to Heaven’ with the Earth Thunder Nascent Soul, Great Cultivator Luo Pei’s figure vanished from the spot, reappearing at a distance of three hundred meters from the six Nascent Soul Cultivators.

Prepared long in advance, ’Black Water Flood Sky’ was activated, and concurrently, a Great Cultivator’s pressure descended upon the six Nascent Soul Cultivators.

Even the two Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners, after enduring the suppression of Great Cultivator Luo Pei’s cultivation, found their actions delayed, their reaction speeds significantly slowed.

The four Nascent Soul Early Stage Practitioners couldn’t even move, the terrifying pressure of a Great Cultivator rendering them incapacitated.

The black tidal wave rushed towards them at great speed, enveloping them without any surprise.

Great Cultivator Luo Pei faintly smiled, his Divine Sense capturing a Nascent Soul, forcibly safeguarding a Nascent Soul Early Stage Practitioner’s nascent soul from the onslaught of ’Black Water Flood Sky’.

The remaining five Nascent Soul practitioners were annihilated without even the faintest resistance, their nascent souls included.

”Return to Great Cultivator Chang Ju and tell him, I’ve recovered!” Great Cultivator Luo Pei said to the nascent soul casually.

The tone he used to relay the message sounded as if he were speaking to an old friend, though the nascent soul clearly understood why, the White Emperor Sect’s wanted order was self-explanatory.

Once released, the nascent soul hurriedly fled at full speed into the distance.

The reason he spared a life was primarily to ensure that the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion wouldn’t take the blame.

Should the White Emperor Sect assume the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion dispatched a Great Cultivator to slay Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners, the conflict between the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion and the White Emperor Sect would escalate to the Great Cultivator level, which would not align with Li Yuanba’s interests.

He didn’t linger, as this month’s planning was far from limited to this location.

In a span of just over twenty days, he had repeatedly assassinated the White Emperor Sect’s Nascent Soul Cultivators, exceeding thirty in number.

This behavior of a Great Cultivator bullying juniors is almost unheard of in the Cultivation World.

In regular circumstances, bullying juniors would inevitably invite a powerful cultivator to confront you, and if they can’t find you, they would retaliate against your juniors.

But Great Cultivator Luo Pei was different, now he reverted to his identity as a Loose Cultivator, and not just any Loose Cultivator, he was practically a lone star, estranged from anyone in the entire Cultivation World.

Perhaps Great Cultivator Luo Pei previously had descendants on Anyu Island, but all the cultivators on the island, including Anyu Island itself, were decimated by spirit beasts. Even if some descendants survived, they bore no relevance to the current Great Cultivator Luo Pei.

In the main hall of the White Emperor Sect’s headquarters on the Central State Continent, Great Cultivator Yan Gao was nearly driven mad, and the three Great Cultivators under his command lowered their heads cautiously, lest they become the outlet for Yan Gao Great Cultivator’s rage.

”Chang Ju, Shi Dong, how could two Great Cultivators fail an ambush on one Independent Cultivator Great Cultivator? Didn’t you claim Luo Pei was seriously injured? Does this appear like serious injury to you?” Great Cultivator Yan Gao’s fury finally erupted at the two Great Cultivators responsible for capturing Luo Pei.

Great Cultivators Chang Ju and Shi Dong had confidently reported back that Great Cultivator Luo Pei was heavily wounded, forced to suppress his injuries and flee, and wouldn’t recover in less than three hundred years, if he survived at all.

But it’s been such a short time, even consuming a High-grade Fourth-Grade Healing Spirit Pill of a Great Cultivator couldn’t restore injuries so rapidly.

What they did not expect was that Great Cultivator Luo Pei indeed consumed High-Grade Fourth-Grade Healing Spirit Pills, not just one, but as many as three.

This allowed him to recover from his injuries in just one month, leading to this frenzy of retaliatory action.

”The Fuliu Sect must have concealed something. I received intelligence that Luo Pei initially visited the Fuliu Sect to inherit the ’Innate Wood’, and later the Fuliu Sect sent him to Ganlu Temple to inherit the ’Ganlu Divine Water’ abilities, likely indicating that Luo Pei made strides in divine skills, earning a special admission into the Fuliu Sect!” Another Great Cultivator, Ning Xi, coolly analyzed.
