“Elder, what should we do now?”
The Ghost Demon Sect disciple asked nervously.
If we continue like this, they’ll be sitting ducks once the cultivators of the three
major sects arrive.
They needed to make a decision now.
“Has Leng Yuexi been found yet?”
The foundation-building elder clenched his fists and asked.
“No, Leng Yuexi disappeared long ago, leaving no trace.”
“We have split into three teams to search for the woman.”
“One team is in Misty Cloud City, one is in the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, and another one is guarding the routes to the Immortal Mist Sect.”
“However, no team has found any suspicious persons.
“It’s as if the woman has suddenly vanished into thin air.”
The Ghost Demon Sect disciple said helplessly.
Truth be told, he had left no stone unturned, yet he could not find Leng Yuexi.
She should not have been able to travel far since she was already poisoned.
However, they could still not find any trace of the woman, which was extremely frustrating for him.
“Damn Leng Yuexi, damn Immortal Mist Sect.”
The foundation-building elder ground his teeth.
If he had captured Leng Yuexi, he could have used her as leverage against the Immortal Mist Sect.
Then, with the Immortal Mist Sect hesitant, they, the Ghost Demon Sect, still had a chance to turn the tables.
But now, not only had the sect’s golden core cultivator been severely injured, they had not even captured a hostage.
They had only succeeded in losing out on their investments and had ruined their reputation.
He simply could not comprehend how the woman managed to slip away from right under his nose.
“No matter, we can’t delay any longer. We need to retreat now.”
“There’s no need to risk our lives with the three major sects, or we’ll surely face
heavy losses.”
The foundation-building elder immediately decided to retreat.
After all, he was not a fool. There was no way he could resist the alliance of the
three major sects.
Staying here would simply mean death.
Although he was reluctant to give up on capturing Leng Yuexi, there was no choice left at this point.
He could simply give up on the idea of capturing Leng Yuexi.
Several days later.
Zhou Sui, who was cultivating in the depths of the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, also noticed the movement in Misty Cloud City right away, as he had left a clone there.
After all, even if he left Misty Cloud City, he wanted to be aware of its situation. It would be convenient for future actions.
“Can’t believe it, the Ghost Demon Sect is actually retreating?!”
Zhou Sui widened his eyes.
He could sense the panic among numerous Ghost Demon Sect cultivators, just like homeless dogs, hastily retreating from Misty Cloud City.
The more arrogant they were before, the more miserable they were now.
“Did the Immortal Mist Sect win? Or did the Ghost Demon Sect encounter some difficulties?”
Zhou Sui secretly speculated. He didn’t know yet what happened to the Ghost
Demon Sect, but judging by the situation in Misty Cloud City, these demon cultivators were indeed retreating quickly and disappearing from this city.
He felt somewhat frustrated.
He had only just left Misty Cloud City, and those demon cultivators started to flee.
They were obviously mocking him.
Of course, even if Zhou Sui knew the Ghost Demon Sect was leaving, he wouldn’t remain in Misty Cloud City.
After all, whether to avoid the upcoming danger or help his Dao partners become Foundation-building Cultivators, he needed to dwell deeper into the cloud and fog mountains for cultivation. The so-called danger avoidance was just one of the reasons.
Most importantly, he did not know if the Ghost Demon Sect genuinely left or feigned a retreat, only to turn back and attack.
Or perhaps they were setting a trap to lure out Leng Yuexi.
Regardless of the situation, he couldn’t be bothered.
For he had already withdrawn from the game and reached the cloud and fog mountains.
Reminded of this, Zhou Sui temporarily ignored the matters occurring in Misty Cloud City and looked at his virtual panel.

■■It seems that in the short term, both my Spiritual Root and Cultivation are difficult to break through, and further cultivation is still needed.”
Zhou Sui stroked his chin.
After advancing to the nineth Layer of Qi Cultivation, his cultivation speed slowed significantly. Despite having Dao partners and pills, it would take a year or two to break through the nineth Layer of Qi Cultivation.
It was the same with his Spiritual Root.
Although his Spiritual Root improved every day, compared to its initial boost, the speed of his Spiritual Root progression had significantly slowed down. Advancing to the sixth stage Spirit Root would take a considerable amount of time.
Of course, his lifespan was exceedingly long.
Before reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm, he already had a lifespan of 210 years, leaving him with plenty of time and no need to hurry. As for his progress in the Four Arts of Cultivation, it was clear that he had reached a bottleneck.
This was due to limitations imposed by his Dao partners.
After all, the Dao partners currently only had the first-order level. Unless they advanced to the Foundation Establishment Realm, it would be difficult to achieve the second-order realm.
-This means the current focus should not be my cultivation, but the cultivation of my three Dao partners.”
“If they can advance their cultivation to the Foundation Establishment Stage, then the efficiency of dual cultivation would be significantly enhanced.
“After all, dual cultivation with a woman at the Qi Cultivation Stage or the Foundation Establishment Stage is totally different.”
“I already have twelve Foundation Establishment natural herbs. The only thing lacking is a second-order Demon Core or a Golden Jade Lingzhi.”
“I can’t get the Golden Jade Lingzhi, but being in the Cloud and Fog mountains, it’s still plausible to get a second-order Demon Core.”
“The reason why it’s hard to hunt second stage Demonic Beasts in the Cloud and Fog mountains is the fog. It blocks the cultivator’s sight, making it easy to be ambushed by the beasts.”
“But I’m different. I have clones and hundreds of Gold Eating Bugs that can act as eyes and bait to attract the second stage Demonic Beasts. Then, Leng Yuexi can kill them.”
Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes.
Honestly, he believed this method was more feasible.
After all, he had a Foundation-building Cultivator like Leng Yuexi at his side. If Leng Yuexi personally took action, what would a mere second stage Demonic Beast matter? They would surely be caught with ease.
Originally, he was considering raising a first stage Demonic Beast to the second stage.
But after some careful thought, having a Foundation-building Cultivator by his side, why would he need such a time-consuming and laborious task?
