Chapter 28: Senior Sister's Disciple
In the center of Xuanjian City, a building named 【Xuan Yue Tower】.
Ever since 【Xuan Yue Pavilion】 made a name for itself and opened branches throughout the Central Continent, many factions liked to add the character 'moon' (Moon) to their names.
But until now, only 【Pure Moon Flying Sword】 has achieved some success.
Xuan Yue Tower was also one of them. Compared to some minor factions, its background was mysterious, its funds were abundant, and it hadn't gone out of business even though it had always been operating at a loss.
However, no one knew that Xuan Yue Tower was actually jointly founded by some old demons from the Demonic Path. The surface business was completely irrelevant; the only truly important thing was one matter—simulating Divine Souls.
This was a base for cultivating simulated Divine Souls.
A city where the highest cultivation stage was only Celestial Transformation Stage was simply too suitable. Occasionally, one or two cultivators at the Returning Void or Combined Dao stages would patrol, but with prior arrangements, it could be concealed.
But now it wouldn't work. First, there was an ancient cultivator who emerged from seclusion, and then some unknown pauper refined a Ten Thousand Souls Banner.
A series of changes directly made this small city in a fringe area incredibly conspicuous.
The old demons with higher cultivation stages sensed something was wrong and fled overnight. The remaining people either hadn't received the news or couldn't leave.
Dozens of meters deep beneath the building was an extremely vast laboratory.
However, all the equipment inside had now been moved out, leaving the place empty.
“These demonic brats actually set up such a large underground laboratory. Is the Mayor an idiot?”
Behind a massive pillar, a figure whispered.
It was a girl who, at a glance, made one feel she was full of vitality. Her hair was simply tied into a high ponytail, her features were delicate, her black and white eyes were bright, she wore a white T-shirt on top and a pair of black work pants below.
'When I become the Sect Leader, I'll definitely fire him!'
Her name was Chi Jiuyu, a third-generation Disciple of the Sword Sect, and her goal was to become the next Sword Sect Leader.
She had just arrived in Xuanjian City today. While searching for her Shishu, she discovered that several people with very strange auras were carrying a large amount of demonic beast blood essence.
As the future Sect Leader, she felt it was necessary to maintain public order in the cities under the Sword Sect's jurisdiction!
So, she quietly followed them here.
A dark and mysterious basement, a large amount of demonic beast blood essence—these were definitely people from the Demonic Path!
Ding dong!
The phone in her pants pocket suddenly rang, startling Chi Jiuyu.
She quickly pulled out her phone, ignored the pop-up message, and first switched it to silent mode.
Whew~
Only then did she start checking the messages.
“Have you found your Shishu yet?”
The nickname of the person who sent the message was 'My Most Respected Master', and the profile picture was a little yellow duck holding a sword, with the word 'Invincible' written on its forehead. It looked a bit silly.
“Not yet,” Chi Jiuyu replied.
Xuanjian City wasn't small, so where was she supposed to find him?
Moreover, if her Shishu didn't want to show himself, how could she possibly find him?
“Find him as soon as possible. Your Shishu is very generous, especially right after coming out of seclusion.”
“Got it, got it!”
After replying, she put her phone away and continued to sneak deeper inside. Shishu or no Shishu, destroying this den was the most important thing!
Chi Jiuyu carefully passed through room after room. The strange liquid and faint smell of blood remaining on the floor made her increasingly certain that this was a den of people from the Demonic Path!
After passing through a few more rooms, she arrived at an equipment room. Several strange broken devices were piled inside, and she faintly heard voices.
“Young Master, how much longer do we have to stay here?”
“Soon, that Senior's injuries are almost healed now.”
Young Master? Senior?
Indeed, a big fish!
A faint golden light lit up in Chi Jiuyu's eyes as she checked the cultivation stages of the two people through the wall.
Early Nascent Soul, Early Nascent Soul.
Assessment complete: two small fry. Among those at the same stage, she had never feared anyone!
She just didn't know what stage the Senior they mentioned was at. If it was Celestial Transformation Stage, she could give it a try, but Returning Void would be difficult.
Just as she was thinking.
“These juniors indeed didn't handle things thoroughly enough; they still let a little mouse sneak in.”
The cold, hard voice was extremely rough. The golden light in Chi Jiuyu's eyes dimmed. Besides the harsh sound, she also heard a rustling sound of insects crawling.
Turning her head, in the dark and lightless equipment room, was a blurry, indistinct black demonic shadow.
“Holy crap!”
It's over, I've stumbled upon a shark. It's actually a Combined Dao Old Demon!
The two people in the room further inside also sensed something was wrong and ran out.
“Young Master, it seems we were followed.”
The young man wearing sunglasses glared fiercely at his subordinate. Did he need to say that?!
He cupped his hands towards the demonic shadow.
“Apologies, Senior, it was my oversight.”
Then he looked at Chi Jiuyu and said fiercely, “Speak quickly, which faction are you from, and why did you follow us here!”
“Of course, it's because my righteous heart sensed the aura of evil!” Chi Jiuyu said righteously.
What the heck, aura of evil!
The two of them almost couldn't hold back. The person in front of you is a Combined Dao Old Demon, can't you be a little nervous?!
“This person has cultivated the Tai Xu Breaking Delusion Golden Eye. Your little concealment methods cannot possibly hide from her,” the Combined Dao Old Demon explained.
Tai Xu Breaking Delusion Golden Eye, a pupil technique from the Sword Sect's supreme inheritance, the Tai Xu Sword Canon.
Someone from the Sword Sect?
“At such a young age, you already possess this level of cultivation and have cultivated such a pupil technique. In time, you might even surpass this old man,” the Combined Dao Old Demon said indifferently.
“Hmph!” Chi Jiuyu sneered, “You really think highly of yourself.”
Sh-sh-she, has she always been this arrogant?!
The Young Master and his subordinate were both shocked.
Look closely, standing in front of you is an old demon at the Combined Dao stage!
The Combined Dao Old Demon who heard this also paused for a moment, then said indifferently, “Being stronger is a matter for the future. Do you think you still have a future?”
Rolling demonic energy surged, filling most of the equipment room, and Chi Jiuyu was about to be swallowed.
No matter how powerful a Nascent Soul cultivator is, facing a cultivator at the Combined Dao stage is like facing an ant.
Chi Jiuyu's vision blurred, but she suddenly shouted loudly.
“Master, save me!!!”
Buzz!
A grand buzzing sound rang out in the ears of the Young Master, his subordinate, and that Combined Dao Old Demon.
Everything before their eyes rapidly disappeared. Their perspective seemed to be infinitely elevated, the principles of the Great Dao flowed before their eyes, and many cultivation difficulties were answered in this instant.
The Combined Dao Old Demon even felt his cultivation stage loosening, but there wasn't a trace of joy in his heart.
A nearly transparent, faint red phantom figure stepped forward, possessing peerless immortal grace.
His gaze fell, and the Combined Dao Old Demon was startled, because that gaze was not indifferent and emotionless; instead, it revealed extremely rich emotions.
How could this be?
“Bullying my Disciple, you shall be cut down.”
You shall be cut down!
This sound was like a decree from heaven and earth. Infinite fear surged in the Combined Dao Old Demon's heart.
“No!!!”
Amidst the despairing roar, terrifying demonic energy soared into the sky. How terrifying was the full power burst of a Combined Dao stage cultivator?
Logically, a few small Nascent Soul cultivators would be completely unable to stop it, but the rising demonic energy seemed to be isolated in another dimension, having no effect whatsoever.
Chi Jiuyu watched the withered old man in front of her let out a despairing roar, then turn into scattered purple light points like flowing sand and dissipate. She couldn't help but smack her lips.
It's always like this. What exactly do they see?
As the Combined Dao Old Demon died, the Young Master and his subordinate also woke up. The two of them had not been killed.
If they couldn't even defeat someone at the same stage, then dying was what they deserved.
Coincidentally, Chi Jiuyu also thought the same way. She took out a long sword.
“Come at me together!”
Who the heck wants to fight you?!
The two of them finally understood why the old demons in this base ran away so quickly.
“You are Senior Sister's Disciple?”
A person appeared out of thin air at the location where the old demon dissipated. It was Xu Xing, who had just been in the Director of Education's office at Xuanjian City Third Middle School.
