The demonic cultivator was shocked. He never expected that not only was this guy unafraid, but he was also challenging him to a fight. The demon asked, “Which force do you belong to? What makes you act so rampant before me?”
Shi Lang sighed and replied, “A maggot with wings is still a larva. I do not like maggots, and they violate cleanliness.”
He was gazing into the eyes of the demon and cast Shura Realm. The demonic cultivator was not afraid. On the contrary, he smiled. The pain people thought was bad turned him into a fool. However, before he could wake up from the attack. Shi Lang appeared next to the man, and his sword flickered.
The demonic cultivator woke up from the illusion and clutched his abdomen. Shi Lang had destroyed his dantian with a stab. The demonic cultivator wailed and shouted, “You fucking pig, why did you destroy my dantian? You should have killed me directly.”
Shi Lang shook his head and replied calmly, “I need to ask you a few questions. So, I needed you to cooperate.”
The enemy replied, “Fuck you! Fuck your mother! What makes you think I will answer you with ease? You defeated me with a sneak attack. Where is your pride?”
Shi Lang was not provoked and thought the enemy would not back off or torture him. The demonic cultivator bit his tongue.
Bo Qingtan was shocked and exclaimed, “No!”
He quickly reacted and punched the side of the enemy’s mouth to break the jaw. Shi Lang nodded and said, “Thank you.”
Bo Qingtan shook his head and replied, “Not a big deal. But I am sorry, I did not check my force and broke his jaw. How will we get information from him?”
The terran shook his head and replied, “I can extract the memories from his soul directly. If you guys do not mind.”
Yun Xue frowned and asked, “Soul extraction is a technique of demons.”
Shi Lang shook his head and replied, “Techniques are neutral. It only depends on how you use them.”
Bo Qingtan nodded, and Yun Xue calmed down too. They were cultivators of the righteous path, but they were not naive. They understand what Shi Lang was talking about. Shi Lang was correct, and the nature of their action defined the nature of the action. The two watched Shi Lang place his palm on the enemy’s skull, and the guy shivered terribly.
The terran saw the memories of the person and withdrew his hand. The guy had turned into a vegetable. Shi Lang sighed and snapped the neck of the man to put an end to his misery. He said, “They have seven members, all move around in groups of two. This guy was left behind because his partner died in the void tunnel.”
Bo Qingtan asked, “What do we do now?”
Shi Lang shook his head and said, “From the memories of this guy, I found that this demon team aims to destroy the inheritances left behind by the human leaders.”
Yun Xue and Bo Qingtan were shocked. They were about to say something when Shi Lang said, “Do not think so much. They cannot attack the inheritances. All of them have protection left behind by the remnant consciousness of the experts. However, still, they should not get away with this sort of crime. We should scrub them when we can.”
The two nodded. Shi Lang channeled lightning energy through the body of the demonic cultivator, and his body turned to ashes.
Yun Xue asked, “You say we should go after the demonic cultivators, but they still outnumber us two to one.”
Shi Lang shook his head and said, “They are working in teams. We can also work in teams. Using the information we have gathered, we can go to the locations where the demon teams are heading. If the inheritances are good for us, then we can accept them. But if they aren’t, we should keep going.”
Bo Qingtan nodded and said, “If we did not gain the inheritance, we might be able to find some treasures.”
Shi Lang and Yun Xue nodded with a smile. They all were cultivators, and they all liked gains. This expedition might bring them some gains like never before.
The trio charged through the woods and found that the deeper they went, the thicker the trees became. After two hours, Bo Qingtan stopped and said, “They were here a few hours ago.”
Yun Xue asked, “How do you know?”
Bo Qingtan raised his hand and revealed a flower. Shi Lang confusedly gazed at the wilting flower, and the former replied, “This is a Scared Spirit Daisy. It wilts in the presence of demonic energy. Otherwise, it blooms forever.”
Shi Lang nodded, and Yun Xue took a glass globe from her space ring. She said, “This globe has a drop of demon spring water inside it. We can track the team closest to us with it.”
The two people were surprised, and Shi Lang asked, “Why did you not take it out earlier?”
The lady said, “We need to collect some demon scent in the globe before the drop of water can resonate with the demons and be used for tracking.”
She rolled her eyes at the two of them, and with a wave of her hand, she moved the air in the surroundings to the ball, and the black drop of water began to shiver. After a few moments, the drop was stuck to the side of the globe.
Yun Xue said, “This drop of water is attracted to demonic energy.”
The men nodded and began to follow Yun Xue through the forest. They came across many beast corpses on the way, and it was easy to identify that the demonic cultivators killed these beasts.
The remains of the corpse had bite marks evident on them. Shi Lang sighed and said solemnly, “These bastards.”
His gaze landed on a dead tiger cub’s corpse. Yun Xue said calmly, “These people need to die.”
Shi Lang replied, “They will. Let’s go.”
The trio rushed over for half a day. On the way, they took one short rest, and Shi Lang deployed the surveillance probes ahead of them. They had the two demonic cultivators under sight when they reached the location.
They were all hiding one kilometer away in the trees. The communicator projected the images from the probes directly onto the leaves. Shi Lang said, “When shall we attack?”
Yun Xue hesitantly said, “Wait till they are at the peak of it. That is when the guard will be the weakest.” 𝑜𝓋𝓵xt.𝚌𝑶𝓂
Shi Lang nodded and gazed at Bo Qingtan, gazing at the leaves. Shi Lang wanted to tease him when the guy said, “This seems too easy.”
Shi Lang raised his brows and asked, “What do you mean?”
Bo Qingtan replied, “They are near an inheritance spot but engaged in dual cultivation. They do not have any guards, and the people of the other forces are also combing the world for these inheritances. What is their intention?”
Shi Lang said, “Now that you mention it, we have been too focused on locating them. We forgot if there is a fisherman between us.”
Yun Xue cast a faint gaze at Bo Qingtan and then at Shi Lang—the terran interacted with his communicator, sending the probes high in the sky. When the probes transmitted the data, they realized things were not simple. They were the furthest hiding team. Two more teams hid five hundred meters from the demonic cultivators in the opposite direction.
Shi Lang said, “These people must have thought out precautionary plans, and that is why they are waiting for the fish to take the bait.”
The three became solemn, and it was good that they did not charge to attack the couple. Bo Qingtan asked, “Can we get more details about those people?”
Shi Lang nodded and said, “Yes, we can. I will give it to you in a bit.”
He controlled the probes and soon they had two different visuals on the leaves. The young man did not use holographic projection because the light could attract attention from the enemies.
They gazed upon the leaves and were surprised. Both groups were wearing similar clothing. Yun Xue said, “I know these people. They are from Moon Tower City.”
Shi Lang gazed at her in askance. Bo Qingtan said, “It is one of the major cities in the central plains. I am curious about why these people are in two groups?”
The terran looked at the two teams and said, “They are staking for the possible backup, and at the same time, they will act like each other’s backups.”
Shi Lang described the strategies to the two and they understood what was going on. Once team A engage in battle, if they cannot solve the enemy, team B will rush in and they will be able to put psychological pressure on the enemy to make a mistake.
Bo Qingtan asked, “How long before you think they will take before attacking?”
Yun Xue replied, “A few hours at least.”
Shi Lang gawked and said, “Cultivators do everything big.”
