“I see.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Tianze had a sudden realization: “No wonder the brothers were continually burning the granary of Misty Cloud City and causing chaos around the city, secretly slaughtering cultivators. They probably did this to distract the attention of the Immortal Mist Sect cultivators, making them unsure of our intentions, thereby creating the opportunity to destroy the Seventh-Order formation.”
He instantly understood why his brothers, despite exposing their tracks, insisted on creating havoc in all directions.
The purpose of all this was to destroy the second-stage formation of Misty Cloud City.
Once this formation is obliterated, the entirety of Misty Cloud City becomes as easy as capturing something in a bag.
“Indeed.”
The middle-aged cultivator nodded: “Unfortunately, it seems that the cultivators of the Immortal Mist Sect have seen through our scheme. Even though we kept burning their granaries in an attempt to scatter their forces, they still haven’t slackened their defense of the formation’s nodes.
To say that the Immortal Mist Sect indeed has capable people would be an understatement. But alas, their reign ends tonight, I will lead a group of Loose Cultivators, storming the City Lord’s mansion of Misty Cloud City, drawing their attention.”
“At that time you can seize the opportunity to attack the other formation nodes. As long as one can destroy a single formation node, then the second-stage array collapses completely, and then our cultivators from the Ghost Demon Sect in Foundation Establishment stage will be able to break in and finish the job.”
He tightened his grip into a fist, his body radiating an intense aura of bloodlust.
“But brother, the lord’s mansion is guarded by two Foundation Establishment cultivators, one is the ancestor of the Lu family, and the other is Leng Yuexi, the Young Sect Master of the Immortal Mist Sect. They are both in the late stages of Foundation Establishment cultivation and their abilities are no mean feat.”
Xu Tianze was quite astonished, he didn’t expect his brother to dare to lead an attack on the City Lord’s Mansion, it seemed like a suicidal attempt.
After all, once a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage is fully enraged, other cultivators are almost certainly doomed.
“Haha, what’s there to fear?”
The middle-aged cultivator chuckled: “Though the ancestor of the Lu family is a late Foundation Establishment cultivator, he is more than two hundred years old now and near the end of his lifespan. Also, he was said to have been injured before and is critically impaired. As for Leng Yuexi, the Young Sect Master of the Immortal Mist Sect, she is even less noteworthy. She was previously surrounded and attacked by more than a dozen Foundation Establishment elders of our Ghost Demon Sect, and was even poisoned. She has merely been relying on pills to hold on, she wouldn’t have enough power to defend herself.” “Of course, even so, they’re still at the Foundation Establishment stage of cultivation, and are not to be trifled with. Luckily, before entering Misty Cloud City, Sect Master bestowed upon me three ‘Second-stage Thunderbolt Talismans’.
If I run into a Foundation Establishment cultivator, I can throw these three second-stage Thunderbolt Talismans at them and I bet even a Foundation Establishment cultivator would have a hard time. With some luck, I could seriously injure them in an instant.”
He said smugly, hinting at his hidden trump card.
“Second-stage Thunderbolt Talisman?!”
Xu Tianze was immediately filled with awe; he knew of the rarity of these second-stage talismans. Any one of them could easily cost hundreds of middle-grade Spirit Stones, and even if you had the money, you might not be able to buy one.
For an ordinary second-stage Talisman Master, to produce a single second-stage talisman would require backbreaking effort.
The value of such a talisman is therefore self-evident.
However, it must be said that a second-stage talisman is indeed worth its price.
Even a Qi Cultivation stage cultivator could use a second-stage talisman to mount an attack potent enough to inflict serious damage on a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
This is one of the special techniques that Qi Cultivation cultivators possess to kill a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Clearly, in order to deal with the two Foundation Establishment cultivators of Misty Cloud City, the Ghost Demon Sect has spared no cost.
It’s no wonder then as to why his brother was willing to undertake such a dangerous task; without some ace up his sleeve, who would willingly march into certain death?
“By the way, I hear you’ve taken a liking to some female Qi Cultivation cultivators and are planning to make a covert move?”
The middle-aged cultivator flashed a small smirk at Xu Tianze.
“Yes.”
Xu Tianze nodded: “My cultivation technique requires the energies of some late-stage Qi Cultivation female cultivators. It happens they have appeared nearby, so I thought to make a move. I didn’t expect you to be aware of this.” “Not bad, this is the spirit of the Ghost Demon Sect cultivators; see a woman you like, snatch her; see treasure you desire, grab it.”
“All the treasures in this world should belong to the strong.”
“The weak can only crawl at our feet and howl.”
“After we breach Misty Cloud City, we brothers will lend you a hand and help you fulfill your dreams.”
The middle-aged cultivator gave off a murderous aura, his eyes filled with bloodlust.
Obviously, in his eyes, this was a kind of reward for his disciples. It was a way to win their loyalty.
“Thank you, brother. With the help of my brothers, I believe this time nothing can go wrong.”
Xu Tianze was immediately pleased.
His original plan was a bit dangerous; after all, he was just a cultivator in the ninth layer of Qi Cultivation, and it was risky trying to deal with three late-stage Qi Cultivation females.
But with the help of the Ghost Demon Sect brothers, then, it was stage one to nine all at once.
Rumble—
Just when these cultivators from the Ghost Demon Sect were about to discuss something or plan their next move, suddenly, an invisible wave of soul energy struck them.
It was silent and traceless!
This is the power of the Dream Soul Gu – Dream-Invasion!
At this moment, Zhou Sui immediately launched his attack.
Instantly, the unprotected Ghost Demon cultivators of the Ghost Demon Sect, unaware that they were about to be attacked here, were plunged into a dream state, becoming as stiff as wooden chickens.
“Damn it, we’re under attack!”
This middle-aged cultivator also felt bewildered. But one of his magic artifacts was activated at that moment, forming an incandescent spiritual barrier, and he immediately snapped out of it.
He was both surprised and furious, having no idea who had launched an attack on him.
But there’s no doubt that such an attack on the soul was terrifying, utterly silent and insensible.
If he hadn’t been wearing a top-grade magic artifact, The Mind Crystal Pendant, capable of warding off soul attacks,
he would likely have fallen victim to the attack at that very moment.
Despite that, he felt quite bewildered as though someone had hammered his head fiercely.
He felt slightly dizzy and saw stars spinning around him.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!
The next second, several golden lights flew across the sky, like golden sword lights.
They were the Gold Eating Bugs, fifty Gold Eating Bugs appeared immediately at this place.
Zhou Sui had pulled out all the stops to utterly annihilate these cultivators from the Ghost Demon Sect.
He gave no quarter.
These Gold Eating Bugs were extremely fast, their wings created an illusion as they moved like light, bolting towards the cultivators of the Ghost Demon Sect. “You’re courting death!”
The middle-aged cultivator roared angrily. He was an experienced warrior and had abundant combat experience.
In the face of such a desperate situation, he was still able to fight back.
With one wave of his hands, dozens of first-grade superior talismans from his body were flung out like they cost nothing.
It was as though dozens of spell attacks were erupting simultaneously; needless to say, the sheer power of this attack was unthinkable.
Rumble
The talismans exploded instantly on impact with the Gold Eating Bugs, producing rumbling noises.
Thick smoke rose, and debris flew around..
