Chapter 389: Chapter 221: Obtaining a Fifth-Grade Opportunity, Easily Crossing the Tribulation_2
Swoosh swoosh swoosh!!!
At this moment, beams of blood-red light suddenly flew out from the four corpses of the Profound Celestial Sword Sect, seemingly condensing into blood-red talismans that locked onto Jiang Fan’s aura and rushed towards him.
Rumble~~
The next second, the originally quiet Ancient Treasure Exquisite Tower on Jiang Fan moved immediately, forming an invisible spiritual barrier that enveloped all around Jiang Fan’s body.
Thump thump thump!!
The four blood-red talismans struck the spiritual barrier and were instantly dissipated.
It seemed to be accompanied by piercing and miserable screams.
Soon, they vanished from this world, like evil spirits howling and screaming.
"What’s going on?"
Jiang Fan squinted his eyes.
He instinctively realized something was amiss just now.
If the blood-red talismans had attached to him, he would have been in deep trouble.
Fortunately, the Ancient Treasure Exquisite Tower passively defended and blocked the attack.
To be honest, he hadn’t expected that even after the death of the sect cultivators of the Profound Celestial Sword Sect, they could still retaliate.
"Master, if I’m not mistaken, this should be the Profound Celestial Sword Sect’s secret technique — Grudge Soul Attraction."
"This is a curse secret technique."
"If someone kills a cultivator of the Profound Celestial Sword Sect, this curse will attach to the murderer."
"This way, other cultivators of the Profound Celestial Sword Sect will become aware of the murderer’s existence."
"Even if a cultivator of the Profound Celestial Sword Sect approaches, they can naturally sense it."
"That’s why not many dare to kill a cultivator of the Profound Celestial Sword Sect."
"Luckily, the Exquisite Tower resisted the curse’s power, otherwise, Master would definitely become a wanted criminal of the Profound Celestial Sword Sect."
The Ten Thousand Transformations Pill Furnace said with great relief.
"There’s such a secret technique?"
"Why didn’t you warn me earlier?"
Jiang Fan asked.
He couldn’t help but feel fortunate that he had many treasures, otherwise, he really might have fallen for the Profound Celestial Sword Sect’s trap.
It’s just that these Nascent Soul Sect cultivators are indeed not easy to deal with.
Often, getting rid of one would provoke a whole group.
"Master, how could I remember so much?"
"Back in the day following Daoist Wan Hua, I didn’t pay attention to these things at all."
"Because there were too many troubles on our hands, a few more curses didn’t matter at all."
"Of course, Daoist Wan Hua paid the price for it later."
The Ten Thousand Transformations Pill Furnace said helplessly.
As time passed, it also forgot how insidious those Nascent Soul Sect cultivators were.
A little carelessness, and you’d fall into their trap.
Moreover, they are quite hypocritical.
Allowing their sect cultivators to rob loose cultivators but not vice versa.
But there’s nothing that can be done about it.
The Cultivation Realm is such a world where the strong prey on the weak; whoever has the bigger fist has the say.
"However, Master need not worry about anything."
"Since the curse has been neutralized by the Exquisite Tower, the Profound Celestial Sword Sect cannot possibly track Master."
"Although the Profound Celestial Sword Sect is indeed a Nascent Soul Sect, it’s not omnipotent."
"But now that several of their disciples have died, they will likely know soon."
"So Master should escape quickly to avoid being pursued and assassinated by them."
The Ten Thousand Transformations Pill Furnace reminded.
It was very familiar with the temperament of those Nascent Soul Sects, most of whom are vindictive petty people.
If they discovered any signs of the Master, it would likely be an endless battle.
"Hmm."
Hearing this, Jiang Fan nodded.
With a wave of his hand, he immediately collected the storage bags of these Foundation Establishment cultivators.
Then he used the Cyan Lotus Earth Fire Talisman, instantly turning the corpses of these sect cultivators into ashes.
This way, no matter how capable the cultivators of the Profound Celestial Sword Sect were, they couldn’t find any trace of him.
Swoosh!
The next second, Jiang Fan also used the Perfection-level Earth Escape Talisman.
He instantly merged into the depths of the earth, appearing like a flying fish swimming in the depths of the earth, unobstructed by soil and rocks.
At the same time, this also prevented tracking by the cultivators of the Profound Celestial Sword Sect.
Undoubtedly, this decision of his was quite right.
Traveling silently in the depths of the earth, Jiang Fan returned to Seven Stars Peak without being noticed by any cultivator.
After all, most cultivators practice in mid-air and rarely dive into the earth.
Therefore, a cultivator like Jiang Fan is a very rare existence.
This is also his unique method of escape, which can play a significant role at critical moments.
Boom~~
Just as he returned to the vicinity of the Seven Stars Peak, a message instantly sank deep into his sea of consciousness.
"You encountered the assassination attempt of the Profound Celestial Sword Sect cultivators, narrowly surviving a fierce battle and managed to kill that group of sect Foundation Establishment cultivators, narrowly escaping death and passing a life-and-death tribulation. You have gained fifty thousand Luck Points and a Fifth-Grade Opportunity."
Feeling this message, Jiang Fan touched his chin, feeling quite satisfied.
Undoubtedly, this Fifth-Grade Opportunity had already come into his possession, it was this Heavenly Flower.
After all, this is a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Object capable of enhancing Spirit Root talent.
Even Nascent Soul cultivators are exceedingly eager to obtain it.
Yet it had been acquired by his small Foundation Establishment self, indeed a heaven-sent opportunity.
Besides, he also gained a full fifty thousand Luck Points.
As well as the Storage Bags of several sect Foundation Establishment cultivators.
No one knows how many treasures are stored inside.
It was truly a bountiful harvest.
Whish!
In no time, Jiang Fan was back at the residence on Seven Stars Peak.
However, the other Foundation Establishment cultivators hadn’t returned yet; probably, they were still out searching for opportunities.
His return speed was considered quite fast.
...
At the same time, the instant those four Profound Celestial Sword Sect Foundation Establishment cultivators died, their life flames in the sect were extinguished immediately, and their deaths became known to the numerous sect cultivators.
This stirred quite an uproar.
After all, they were within the Profound Celestial Sword Sect’s domain.
Now, four sect Foundation Establishment cultivators had died all at once; it was indeed a significant loss.
No matter what, they needed to thoroughly investigate this matter to see who dared to assassinate the disciples of the Profound Celestial Sword Sect.
Swish, swish, swish!!!
In a short time, one Sword Cultivator after another arrived in a flash, gathering at the place where those few Foundation Establishment cultivators had died.
Among them was a Golden Core Sword Cultivator, with a somber expression.
A vast Golden Core Spirit Sense swept all directions, trying to find clues about the killer.
"Who exactly killed my sect’s disciples?!"
This Golden Core Sword Cultivator was furious beyond measure, and fearsome Sword Qi erupted from him, causing the ground to crack.
But no matter how angry he was, he couldn’t find any trace of the murderer.
This was just impotent rage.
"Elder, the killer seems quite extraordinary."
"Junior Brother Zhang and the others’ corpses were burned to ashes, leaving not even a residue."
"Moreover, the killer left no trace, as if appearing and disappearing into thin air."
"This is absolutely not the work of ordinary cultivators."
A sect Foundation Establishment cultivator said solemnly.
He was very skilled at tracking murderers, so the sect sent him over.
But he felt the crime scene was incredibly bizarre, simply unprecedented.
Because no trace was left at the scene.
This left him at a loss as to where to start.
"Indeed."
"If my guess is correct, the killer of Junior Brother Zhang and the others might be related to Demon Cultivators."
"Only Demon Cultivators would possess such means, making the scene so clean."
"Just why Demon Cultivators would assassinate Junior Brother Zhang and the others, could it be they did something? Or perhaps Junior Brother Zhang and the others discovered something, so they were slain by Demon Cultivators to silence them."
Another sect Foundation Establishment cultivator’s eyes flickered, strongly suspecting that the fierce beast was a Demon Cultivator.
After all, Demon Cultivators have been rampaging and their methods becoming increasingly audacious recently.
"Demon Cultivators did it?"
"Is there no chance it was done by Loose Cultivators?"
The Golden Core Sword Cultivator said solemnly.
"Elder, such a thing is absolutely impossible."
"Not to mention that mere Loose Cultivators have such ability to kill Junior Brother Zhang and the others."
"Even if they had such means, they couldn’t leave no trace at the scene."
"So this matter must have been done by Demon Cultivators."
The two sect Foundation Establishment cultivators spoke decisively, very confident in their reasoning.
The manner in which the killer did it was simply too perfect.
But it was precisely this perfection that exposed the killer’s true colors.
How could ordinary cultivators do such a flawless job?
This was definitely a carefully planned arrangement.
"Damn Demon Cultivators, these locusts."
"If I find them, I’ll definitely hunt them down to the end."
This Golden Core Sword Cultivator was furious.
But he also knew hunting all Demon Cultivators down to extinction was almost impossible.
