Imperial Cultivation

Chapter 914: Chapter 910: Warning

The old man slowly said, ”If it really doesn’t work, we’ll have to resort to spiritual treasures.”

Hu Yuni immediately fell silent.

Although Chu Zhiyuan’s cultivation is strong and he has spiritual treasures, if he really faces the top spiritual treasures, he would be doomed.

However, the activation conditions for these spiritual treasures are demanding and costly.

Before activating them, it is still necessary to weigh the pros and cons.

If Chu Zhiyuan kills too many masters and the other eight sect masters are helpless against him, they will certainly deploy spiritual treasures to extinguish him.

She can’t personally go and kill him to obtain the bounty.

Thinking of this, her bright eyes flashed.

The old man drank the fine wine in his cup, sighed, and said, ”Let’s go.”

Hu Yuni glanced askance at him without trying to stop him.

The old man spoke of leaving, yet did not move, sighing, ”How exactly did he come here?”

”Probably through a certain secret treasure,” Hu Yuni said. ”I’ve heard that the Demon World also has such secret treasures.”

The old man sighed, ”Such secret treasures repeatedly appearing is not a good thing.”

”Don’t we demons have such secret treasures?”

”We don’t need them, we can just pass directly from the Outer Realm Battlefield.”

”With this secret treasure, one can come and go as they please, with such convenient freedom... Is our Demon Clan’s luck running out?”

”Mind your words!” the old man hastily snorted.

Hu Yuni curled her red lips, ”Anyway, don’t stop them from courting death, let them go.”

The old man shook his head.

Hu Yuni said, ”Old Master, you are really quite foolish, can’t you think? They can’t even find Chu Liezhao, let alone kill him!”

”The fear is Chu Liezhao finding them.”

”...That’s them courting death themselves, who can save them?” Hu Yuni hummed, ”You can save them for a moment, but can you save them for a lifetime?”

”Save them for a moment if I can!”

”You...!” Hu Yuni was exasperated.

The old man stood up, planted his beast-head cane: ”With me here, they needn’t think of going down the mountain!”

Hu Yuni sneered, ”You exhaust yourself for nothing!”

The old man stubbornly snorted, took a step out of the small courtyard, and disappeared from sight.

Hu Yuni shook her head and stood up, ”Xiao Lu, I’m leaving.”

”Miss!” The little maid quickly ran over, ”Are you going down the mountain?... To find that Chu Liezhao?”

”Yes, tell him to hurry up and escape, lest he be killed by these old fellows.”

”How will Miss save him?”

”No one else can earn this bounty!”

”But if they come to know... I fear it will be unfavorable for Miss.”

Hu Yuni dismissed, ”Only you and I know, how could Chu Liezhao’s words convince them?”

”...Miss, you are wise!” The little maid understood after thinking and nodded vigorously, her face full of admiration.

This Chu Liezhao has been meditating in the Demon Abyss for ten years, and it’s a chance to step into the Great Heavenly Demon.

Such an opportunity must not be taken by others, it must be in one’s own hands.

Therefore, I must save Chu Liezhao.

Moreover, saving Chu Liezhao might just lower his guard.

With lowered guard, it becomes easier to kill him.

Anyway, it is advantageous in every way; the Miss is truly Miss!

”Let’s go.” Hu Yuni set down the jade cup and vanished into the void.

——

An icy moon hung in the night sky.

Cold brilliance fell on Golden Flower City.

Golden Flower City is a large city of a million people, bustling and lively, giving Chu Zhiyuan the illusion of being in Phoenix Imperial City.

He strolled with his hands behind his back amidst the bustling crowd, not feeling as if he was in the Demon Realm.

It’s merely a bustling city, with an aura of revelry.

He has discovered that the Demon Clan and humans differ little in appearance.

Only after death does atavism occur and differences manifest.

But the Demon Clan and humans differ in constitution, far surpassing humans, with powerful physiques and even strong spirits.

Only by looking at the bodies, humans pale in comparison to demons; in front of the Demon Clan, it is like the difference between a healthy adult and a child.

However, with the path of cultivation, humans can bridge this gap through cultivation.

Among same-level Venerable Realm masters, the difference between humans and demons is not significant, depending on the level of cultivation.

But before reaching the Venerable Realm, humans still struggle to bridge the gap in constitution with the Demon Clan.

Seeing this, Chu Zhiyuan shook his head.

In this outer world, it is not humans cherished by heaven but demons.

Not only are their constitutions strong, but the Demon Realm is also rich in spiritual energy, hastening cultivation speed.

It’s no wonder the Human World has been contracting.

If this continues, the Demon Realm will continue to expand, further compressing the realm of humans.

Being human, evasion is futile; if I can weaken the Demon Clan, I must.

But he knows, simply killing demon masters isn’t a fundamental solution.

There must be a better, simpler, and more precise method.

It’s just that currently, his level is insufficient to access these secrets.

Thinking of this, he suddenly turned his head and smiled.

His figure flickered, disappearing amid the bustling throng, soon appearing atop a mountain outside the city.

The moon in the night sky is pure and flawless, its soft glow falling on the dense forest below his feet, making the forest even more tranquil.

He stepped on treetops, chuckled lightly: ”Miss Hu, why not appear for a meeting?”

Hu Yuni’s figure appeared three meters away, her red dress under the moonlight resembling a flame.

This red dress did not change with shifts in outside light, always as bright red as fire.

Chu Zhiyuan clasped his hands: ”Meeting again? Has Miss Hu gained the confidence to kill me?”

He knows Hu Yuni’s thoughts: killing him for the bounty to step into the Great Heavenly Demon.

Her reappearance likely means she is confident of killing him.

Hu Yuni chuckled and shook her head, ”I’m not confident yet.”

”Then, Miss is here for?”

”To remind you to quickly escape, lest you be killed by a spiritual treasure.”

”Spiritual treasure? What spiritual treasure wants to kill me?”

”Do you think no one can deal with you?” Hu Yuni chuckled lightly, ”Nine Great Sects, any sect has spiritual treasures enough to exterminate you. You have already angered them, they are preparing to deploy spiritual treasures to kill you.”

Chu Zhiyuan mused, revealing a smile, ”So apart from spiritual treasures, no one else has the confidence to kill me?”

The key is still due to the Swift Light Sword, coupled with the Dragon Soaring Bell.

He himself is just at the Fourth Transition, the Fifth Transition can’t handle him, he can barely escape the Sixth, but the Seventh Transition should kill him, let alone the Ninth Transition.

This is the might of spiritual treasures, capable of bridging the gap in cultivation.

Of course, in this world, those able to wield spiritual treasures are indeed few, the requirements are too harsh.

He possesses mighty spiritual power and sufficient insight, able to subdue and wield spiritual treasures.

Those who wield spiritual treasures are often at the Venerable Perfect Realm.

”You only rely on the might of spiritual treasures; without them, killing you would be a piece of cake!”

”Miss Hu, you have spiritual treasures too.”

”Humph, my spiritual treasure still lacks maturity,” Hu Yuni said, ”Once fully mastered, it should kill you.”

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”In that case, I’ll go back, no need to thank you, right?”

”Humph, no need!” Hu Yuni scorned.

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head, ”I won’t kill demons here, I’ll clear near Phoenix Imperial City, they can’t blame me.”

”As you wish!” Hu Yuni dismissively waved her hand, ”Please go.”

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and directly drew an arc, a black dot appeared, then drew another arc, the black dot expanded into a Light Gate.

He took a step into the Light Gate and vanished.

The Light Gate shrank to a small black dot, the dot disappeared into the void.

Hu Yuni frowned, staring at the direction where the small black dot disappeared, feeling he agreed too readily.

For sure, once she’s gone, he’d come back!
