Chapter 146: Ding Hai Sect (II)
Translator: Storm in a Teacup
That Cultivator Luo was actually Xuan Lingzi. Since Luo Jianqing didn’t want to use his own surname, Xuan Lingzi just borrowed it. “Eighth-Level Qi Condensation”, Xuan Lingzi said calmly and released some of his power.
There were altogether nine levels of Qi Condensation, with little differences, so cultivators could hardly know each other’s level.
Zhong Heng had thought that Xuan Lingzi was at Foundation Establishment as he hadn’t sensed Xuan Lingzi’s realm and failed to block his attack. Now, Zhong Heng guessed that Xuan Lingzi was just a little bit more powerful than him, and Xuan Lingzi could hide his power just due to some fortuitous experiences.
A light flashed through Zhong Heng’s eyes. He laughed and said, “Cultivator Luo is indeed young and talented.”
Xuan Lingzi nodded slightly.
However, Luo Jianqing frowned. The “Cultivator Luo” in their conversation made him uncomfortable.
Zhong Heng asked, “What about our Cultivator Wu? You look quite young, must be another talent.”
Xuan Lingzi said coldly, “He doesn’t have any cultivation yet.” Luo Jianqing was baffled. Before he could say anything, Xuan Lingzi continued, “He is my disciple, just enters our sect, so he hasn’t begun cultivation.”
Hearing that, Zhong Heng smiled and said, “I see.”
They continued to walk ahead with Zhong Heng taking the lead. These three men were followed by a dozen of cultivators of Ding Hai Sect. The atmosphere was quite weird, yet Luo Jianqing and Xuan Lingzi seemed not to feel that they were “surrounded” and kept moving forward.
When they reached the last house, Zhong Heng said, “Are you willing to join the Ding Hai Sect?”
Luo Jianqing felt surprised, “We have already joined one sect, can we join another one?”
Zhong Heng waved his hand, “We don’t care about those rules.”
Luo Jianqing beamed, “So if we join your sect, what can we get?”
Zhong Heng said, “The villages and towns for ten miles around have to pay taxes to us. Here, you can have a better life than kings… Besides, you can experience the secret joy of our sect.”
Luo Jianqing pretended to be curious, “What secret joy?”
Zhong Heng said proudly, “It will make you super happy! When you join us, you will know. So now, what’s your decision?”
Luo Jianqing waved, “Thanks for your invitation, but our sect takes a lot of efforts to cultivate my master and I, so we can’t join you. And, it’s widely known that cultivators are forbidden from grabbing ordinary people’s money. I’m afraid you have broken the rules, haven’t you?”
Zhong Heng laughed out and suddenly clapped his hands and they were surrounded by the cultivators following them.
Seeing that, Xuan Lingzi slightly raised his eyebrows, letting Luo Jianqing pretend to be afraid and asked, “Cultivator Zhong, what’re you doing?!”
Zhong Heng sneered and took out his sword, pointing it to Luo Jianqing, “Since you don’t appreciate my kindness and refuse to join us, I can’t let you get out of here alive! An Eighth-Level Qi Condensation cultivator doesn’t deserve a place in Ding Hai Sect. This time, I’ll show you the power of our Grand Master.”
As he finished, he sliced his palm and left a bloody cut.
As blood dripped off and tinted the ground red, Zhong Heng shouted crazily, “Respect to you, Grand Master!”
Luo Jianqing was baffled and turned around subconsciously. He heard strange rustling sound in that last house, as if leaves were growing, crawling up. Delicate fragrance spilled over from the crack of the door and windows. Pink gas quickly pervaded the area and was still expanding.
Everyone, no matter men or women inhaling this gas blushed and shouted excitedly. Then they ran into their houses. Soon, waves of moans and dirty words came out.
Here, two male cultivators of Ding Hai Sect were too anxious to get back to their houses, so they began to copulate in wild, and later another man joined them. Luo Jianqing was deeply shocked. He didn’t know he should first cover his ears or eyes.
Now he complained in his heart: Why doesn’t Xuan Lingzi block my vision and hearing now?!
Those cultivators were too… homely and overweight, with their fat swinging along with their movements. Luo Jianqing didn’t want to take one more look.
Instantly, all the cultivators of Ding Hai Sect were obsessed with copulation. It seemed that the gas had a huge impact on them. Zhong Heng was quite normal, except his red eyes. He was swallowing, saying in a hoarse voice, “When the Hehuan Aphrodisiac of our Grand Master get you, you will understand how fortunate you are to join Ding Hai Sect. If you still refuse my invitation then, I will…”
Zhong Heng wore a wretched smile and leered at Luo Jianqing and Xuan Lingzi, “I will absorb all of your energy. The energy of an Eighth-Level Qi Condensation cultivator must be very delicious. And you, Cultivator Wu, you are even more good-looking than my seductive disciple. Even though you are man, I will shag you!”
As he stopped speaking, he bounced on Luo Jianqing.
It was strange that even Luo Jianqing felt hot when he inhaled the gas. Although his power was restrained, he was still at Out-of-Body. The gas was really strong enough to have an impact on Luo Jianqing.
Even Luo Jianqing could barely tolerate it, not to mention those Qi Condensation cultivators and ordinary people.
This time, Xuan Lingzi didn’t hesitate. When Zhong Heng bounced on Luo Jianqing, Xuan Lingzi narrowed his eyes, and a gold sword light shot from the sky, penetrating Zhong Heng’s head. Just one second ago, Zhong Ling was wearing a licentious smile, yet now his body was split in sunder, with blood gushing.
The three male cultivators copulating beside weren’t scared by this scene. Instead, they became more thrilled. They were spitting foul languages and leering at Luo Jianqing and Xuan Lingzi. Before Xuan Lingzi took care of these mad monsters, Luo Jianqing took out three tiny stones and shot at them.
“Ouch!”
After three cries, the stones empowered by the Realm of Rules penetrated their heads, leaving three blood holes.
Currently, Luo Jianqing felt that the gas was eroding his consciousness. His knees felt feeble. Xuan Lingzi flicked his sleeves and lifted the restraint on Luo Jianqing’s power. Suddenly, Luo Jianqing felt strong spiritual power flooding into his body, and he reached Gold Core.
Now, the gas couldn’t impact Luo Jianqing anymore.
He and Xuan Lingzi split up and killed every cultivator absorbing the energy from ordinary people. But those people would grab Luo Jianqing’s hand when they saw him. They all had bloodshot eyes as if they were spellbound. No matter men or women, they were all wearing licentious faces, obsessed with lure.
Luo Jianqing got rid of their hands, but they had totally lost their heads and tried to get him. As Luo Jianqing was embattled, Xuan Lingzi broke in and dragged him out.
Luo Jianqing asked, “Master, have they all been poisoned by that gas?”
Xuan Lingzi replied, “Exactly. There is only little energy left in their bodies, most of which has been absorbed by those cultivators. What they cultivate is Vessel Skill. These ordinary people are their vessels, from which they can absorb energy for cultivation.”
Hearing that, Luo Jianqing baffled. After a long pause, he asked, “So there is no way to save them?”
Xuan Lingzi took him to the last house and stared at this locked room. He said coldly, “The only way is to kill the mastermind.”
Luo Jianqing turned to the house. Although the sky was brighter, the house looked grim and weird under a mantle of shadow. Frowning, Xuan Lingzi stamped and shouted, “No need for hiding, get out now!”
The next moment, bang!
