My Cultivation Starting from Archery

Chapter 138 Seeking Immortal Tower, Gaining Spiritual Energy!

Sha Wenlong looked down at the severed heads beneath his feet, his remaining left pupil trembling slightly, as his brows furrowed even more.

Refining Internal, killing Hua Jin?

This wasn't just a minor realm advancement, but a major one!

The Sect Master of the Yu Yang Sect was truly useless.

The question is...

What about the Witch God Sect?

Why didn't the hidden Witch God Sect Followers strike?

It wasn't just Huang Tianrong who was killed.

After the other sect disciples received reinforcements, they either died on the spot under a flurry of chaotic blades or were captured without a struggle, daring not to resist in the slightest.

"General Chen, you..."

Yu Song found it even harder to believe.

He'd thought that trouble was brewing, but it turned out to be Huang Tianrong who ran into trouble...

Qi-Blood countering the force of Hua Jin, what did that even mean.

After a long while, Sha Wenlong finally managed to regain his composure, "General Chen did well. That undercover disciple revealed his own identity and almost let them escape, fortunately, General Chen, by his own power, killed the Sect Master of Yu Yang, preventing grave consequences. You deserve the greatest credit for this mission."

"Thank you, General Sha."

Chen Sansi clasped his fist, his expressionless.

"We did not collude with the Witch God Sect!"

A disciple from the Yu Yang Sect roared desperately, "Your accusations are merely to take control of the Daluo River for yourselves, to collect the silver!"

"You scoundrels!"

Yu Song kicked him twice, then took out a Vajra Pestle, "Then what is this? Found in your Sect Master's room!"

"..."

Several disciples stared at the Vajra Pestle, their faces filled with disbelief.

This item was a tool used by Witch God Sect Followers to collect Heart Blood!

"Impossible!"

"How could our master collude with the Witch God Sect Followers?"

"The third elder brother who died was his favorite disciple!"

"..."

"Still trying to be tough? Fleeing alongside Huang Tianrong, aren't you showing your guilt?!"

Yu Song commanded, "Take them all back, lock them up in the death prison of Liangzhou and await their fate! Announce the severed heads of Huang Tianrong and the few dead True Disciples to the public, compel everyone to cooperate with the investigation, and whoever dares to resist shall be deemed a conspirator of the Witch God Sect and be executed without mercy!"

They left one after another.

Chen Sansi, however, looked at the headless corpse of Huang Tianrong, his gaze intense and unflinching for a long while.

It wasn't due to lingering anger.

But rather...

Before Huang Tianrong died, he saw a trace of black aura on this man!

It was exactly like the aura on Sect Leader Zhang Huaimin of the Seven Absolute Sect, just comparatively much fainter.

The reason Chen Sansi did not capture him alive but killed him in the last moment was that he feared the opponent might suddenly increase his realm just like Zhang Huaimin, which would complicate matters greatly.

After all, no one would be there to help him, and he had to prioritize his own life.

"In the end, the Witch God Sect Followers still didn't show themselves."

It was a puzzle to him.

And Huang Tianrong didn't seem to be lying; could it be that he really hadn't colluded with the Witch God Sect and was wronged? Then what was the black aura about?

Ci Yun Temple...

Chen Sansi suddenly thought of a possibility.

Zhang Huaimin was at the Meridian Passage Realm.

Then it was highly likely that he had also attended a Dao Conference and consumed the mysterious Nourishing Spirit Soup!

Stay updated via empire

Could that be the source of the black aura in their bodies?

But that was wrong.

If the Immortal Elixir contained black aura, the Qi Observation Skill should have detected it.

At any rate..

He needed to be even more cautious around Ci Yun Temple.

"General!"

Zhao Kang reported in, "The cleanup is done, shall we descend the mountain?"

"Hmm."

Chen Sansi nodded, leading the troops waiting at the foot of the mountain.

The subsequent matters were not his responsibility.

After the Reserve Camp took control of the Yu Yang Sect, they carried out a thorough three-day and three-night search, but could not find more evidence of their collusion with the Witch God Sect. In the end, they concluded that only Huang Tianrong and a few True Disciples were guilty.

But after days of torturing the still-living disciples to death, they failed to extract a satisfactory explanation.

Thus, the matter was left unresolved and came to an end.

Finally, it was time for merit awards.

Inside the tent, Sha Wenlong announced to everyone, "General Chen, for killing the enemy across a major realm, is credited as having the greatest merit for this mission and is to be awarded one Class B merit, with a reward of three thousand taels of silver!"

"..."

Lu Shuhua and Xie Sishu's faces revealed their difficulty.

Five Class C merits were equivalent to one Class B merit.

Where would they find such opportunities to earn merit again after this? A Class A merit, which was above a Class B merit, required actual battle to obtain.

It seemed that the position of the Chief True Inheritor was beyond their reach now.

Moreover, Refining Internal to combat Hua Jin, even if it was only a third-rate sect's Hua Jin, would be very difficult. Probably only Cao Fan would be able to compete with this man.

"General Chen, congratulations!"

Lu Shuhua and Xie Sishu stepped forward to congratulate him.

Signifying that they had effectively given up on the competition.

"You shouldn't have harbored any such aspirations in the first place!"

Bai Thingzhi bluntly said.

After leaving, Chen Sansi once again saw Yin Han Wen and Cao Fan practicing in the Martial Arts Arena, and a strong killing intent surged within him.

This confusion must have been instigated by someone with the surname Yin.

Sha Wenlong was of the Profound Image Realm, so it was not a good time to kill him.

But this dog Yin Han Wen!

Chen Sansi didn't want him nauseatingly flitting in front of him anymore.

If he left Yin Han Wen alive, who knew what kind of backstabbing would occur in the future!

The problem was, next to Yin Han Wen was an old servant at the Meridian Passage Realm.

Chen Sansi hadn't yet reached Hua Jin, and even if he did, it was impossible for him to kill someone at the Meridian Passage.

But what about using a spell?

Sword Qi Skill!

After all, it was a spell used by Immortals; it should be able to kill a Meridian Passage Realm individual, right?

The only issue was the lack of Qingxuan Energy, or rather, Spiritual Energy!

Seeking Immortal Tower!

It couldn't be avoided!

Determined, Chen Sansi, covered in blood, returned home.
