I Outworked the Entire Cultivation World

Chapter 644: Chapter 591: True Rakshasa Order

The Black Armor Bee Swarm dispersed into the night. The half-dead Nascent Soul in Jiang Yuebai’s hand was tightly bound by vines, and together with Fake Chenzhou’s body, they were dragged underground and vanished without a trace.

Jiang Yuebai stepped out from the shadows, fearlessly facing the Divinity Transformation Cultivator.

”Old man, borrowing my name comes at a high price. Are you prepared to pay the price?”

The Divinity Transformation Cultivator scoffed dismissively, sneering, ”That depends on whether you have the life to back it up!”

No sooner had he spoken than the Divinity Transformation Cultivator struck suddenly.

Jiang Yuebai smiled, making no move to resist, as her entire being exploded into a puff of dust under the Divinity Transformation Cultivator’s palm.

The Divinity Transformation Cultivator waved his sleeve to disperse the dust, ”A fake body?”

He hastily spread his Divine Sense to scan the surroundings, but found no trace of her. He searched for a while at the spot where the corpse disappeared and in the direction where the Black Armor Bee Swarm escaped, yet still found nothing.

The Divinity Transformation Cultivator’s face was clouded with gloom, suddenly struck by a foreboding sense.

The commotion tonight was too great. Even though the Zhuge Family had discovered his identity, they had no concrete proof, nor had they seen his true form. As long as he didn’t admit to anything, no one would dare to rashly target the Xiong Family.

The Divinity Transformation Cultivator cast a deep glance in the direction of Yuping Mountain, whose Spirit Vein was far superior to the Xiong Family’s territory, and indeed, the best Cave Heaven Blessed Land in the entire Seven Stars River Basin...

To avoid complications, the Divinity Transformation Cultivator could only temporarily leave; should the escapee summon the Zhuge Family’s Divinity Transformation Cultivator, things would turn disastrous for him!

Meanwhile, Jiang Yuebai delayed with the White Vine Avatar masquerading as the Chenzhou Wanderer, successfully bringing Moh Baichun and Zhuge Ziqian back to Guan Nanbao.

No matter how arrogant, the Divinity Transformation Cultivator dared not directly attack Guan Nanbao.

If he did, he would provoke the Divinity Transformation Elder of the Yuquan Sect to take action, sanctioning the Zhuge Family to retaliate.

After all, with the Realm Lord of the Upper Three Tours and the Immortal Palace still present, certain rules had to be followed, and excuses needed to be made.

Tonight, to save lives, Jiang Yuebai couldn’t confront the Divinity Transformation Cultivator directly. To defeat an early-stage Divinity Transformation, she needed Bai Jiuyou’s power and full concentration to have any confidence.

Her main body had just resisted the Divinity Transformation Cultivator’s attack, dual-tasking as her clone swiftly assaulted and killed the Fake Chenzhou from behind, exhausting her strength significantly. To be safe, escape was the immediate priority.

Moreover, she had other means to make those people pay!

As she said, borrowing her name was extremely costly!

”Fellow Daoist Wangshu, thank you for saving my life tonight. I, Ziqian, wish I could repay you...”

The three paused outside the Lou Family’s courtyard gates. Zhuge Ziqian, struggling to stay upright, expressed gratitude to Jiang Yuebai, while Moh Baichun interjected, panting heavily.

”Enough, enough. If you want to thank her, just give her more Spirit Stones when you return. Now, come with me; it’s crucial to find a place to heal. Please, Junior Sister Wangshu, pass this information back to the Zhuge Family.”

Moh Baichun relayed what Jiang Yuebai wanted to say, as Jiang Yuebai took the Jade Scroll given by Moh Baichun, called over a Lou Family disciple, explained the situation, and had the Lou Family disciple find a place for the two to heal.

”There’s no rest tonight; I should continue my work!”

Gripping the Jade Scroll, Jiang Yuebai disappeared in a flash.

Lou Guanqing and the Yuquan Sect’s Spiritual Martial True Monarch had yet to return. Meanwhile, beast roars and reverberating clashes continued to erupt in the adjoining mountain forests of Guan Nanbao, suggesting the tension in battle remained high.

Guan Nanbao was essentially holding, as the northwest over which Jiang Yuebai was responsible was deathly quiet, devoid of any beast appearances.

The cultivators guarding the city gates were perplexed as to the whereabouts of the Beast Tide, but the inferno from the direction of the Seven Stars River shore only blazed brighter.

The next day, as daylight broke, Lou Guanqing and the Spiritual Martial True Monarch returned, covered in beast blood and remnants.

The Spiritual Martial True Monarch went to rest first, while Lou Guanqing, as the Family Head of the Lou Family, needed to review last night’s battle reports and prepare for any unforeseen events.

”Family Head, a significant event has occurred!!”

Lou Guanqing had barely sat down in the conference hall, not even sipping his tea, before the alarming voice outside startled him.

He quickly strode out and snatched the pages from the message-delivering disciple.

The disciple caught his breath, quickly reporting, ”For some reason, the Beast Tide from the northwest changed direction last night, charging towards the riverbank, leaving several underwater mining sites, shell fields, and other enterprises of the Heavenly Star Sect in ruins. The Heavenly Star Sect disciples suffered heavy casualties and significant losses!”

Lou Guanqing’s eyes sparkled, his hands trembling, ”Good, good, wonderful! Heaven is truly helping me!”

The heavy losses of the Heavenly Star Sect meant they wouldn’t be plotting expansion for a while, giving them a breather.

Could this all be the work of True Monarch Wangshu?

”Additionally,” the message disciple continued, ”that Chenzhou Wanderer killed the female Evil Cultivator who impersonated her, dumping the body at the site of the Heavenly Star Sect’s market workshop on the east shore of the Seven Stars River. She also issued a Rakshasa Order against the Heavenly Star Sect and the Xiong Family jointly. The genuine Rakshasa Order is here for you to see, Family Head.”

The message disciple produced a black fan-like Token from his bosom, bearing nothing but the demon-text character ’Zhou’.

Infusing his Divine Sense into the Token, it suspended in mid-air and radiated black light forming text,

[The unscrupulous Xiong Family, along with the Heavenly Star Sect, joined the Evil Cultivators of Jiuxiao River in arson, murder, and plunder, vilifying the name of Chenzhou – unforgivable! In three days, those who use this Rakshasa Order to slay a disciple of the Xiong Family and Heavenly Star Sect shall receive a Cultivation Technique. Those who wish to live, dissociate from the Xiong Family and Heavenly Star Sect within three days, lest time run out!]

Lou Guanqing was incredulous upon reading the message, ”The Xiong Family? The Heavenly Star Sect has support from the Xiong Family? And could this Rakshasa Order be genuine?”

The message disciple shook his head, ”I am uncertain about the Xiong Family matter, but the Rakshasa Order is definitely real. Only a hundred Rakshasa Orders have been issued, and I went through great lengths to obtain one myself, which I believe is genuine. A Foundation Establishment stage disciple of the Heavenly Star Sect also seized a Token, but when he tried to destroy it, he was killed by the array backlash within the Token.”

”Recently, many desperate Loose Cultivators have gathered in the Seven Stars River Basin, lured by bounties. They now hold Rakshasa Orders, waiting to try their hand in three days. Others have studied the Rakshasa Order, stating that the Talisman Array on it is highly complex, likely containing a real sealed Cultivation Technique.”

Lou Guanqing felt a chill surge to his head; it was an extremely ruthless move.

Those desperate Loose Cultivators, eager to verify the Token’s genuineness, would certainly strike the disciples of the Heavenly Star Sect and the Xiong Family. Even if the Tokens were eventually proven false, distributing more could have resulted in a signficant loss of disciples already.

If the Token were to be real, granting a higher-grade Cultivation Technique as a reward for killing a more powerful Cultivator...

Lou Guanqing felt his throat tighten, barely daring to contemplate further. Not to mention Heavenly Grade Cultivation Techniques, even a single Earth Grade Cultivation Technique or secret technique would drive everyone into a frenzy.

The method of embedding text in such Tokens, to be unsealed under specific conditions, was not difficult for Nascent Soul Cultivators. Many bookstores trading in Cultivation Techniques had similar methods, combined with proprietary Talisman Arrays, ensuring infallible security.

Lou Guanqing clenched his numbed fingers, ”Chenzhou Wanderer, truly worthy of the name Poisonous Hand Rakshasa!”

At this moment, he couldn’t help but feel fortunate for heeding Chenzhou Wanderer’s advice that day, avoiding reckless action. Otherwise, if he had offended her, the Rakshasa Order might have included the Lou Family’s name.

The consequences would have been unimaginable!
