Chapter 73: The Disappearing Fengxi Sect

The Fengxi Sect quickly turned into a scene of purgatory on earth; most of the Fengxi Sect Disciples on the ground had been sucked dry into mummified corpses. These people were simply no match for the Heavenly Demon Sect Disciples.

The people of the Heavenly Demon Sect were all enjoying this slaughter. Quite a few Disciples gave up resistance, hoping to join the Heavenly Demon Sect, but Jiang Cheng did not let them go.

He did not need these people at the Qi Refinement Stage now; they had no utilitarian value to him. If it were before, he might have allowed them in to expand his own influence.

Nowadays, he no longer needed to; his forces had already reached a considerable scale.

He would now select a large number of children with Aptitude from among the Mortals to raise from a young age; only those would be more loyal to him.

After finishing off everyone in the Fengxi Sect, Jiang Cheng could feel that it would not be long before he could achieve a Breakthrough to the Golden Core Stage.

"Chen An, tell people to dispose of these corpses; do not leave any traces at the scene."

"Understood, Sect Master."

"After dealing with this, we must look for our next target."

But no matter how well Jiang Cheng and his men handled it, someone would still discover the anomaly. After all, the people of the Fengxi Sect had friends and family; sooner or later, they would discover that the people of the Fengxi Sect had vanished.

But they would not immediately suspect that a Demon Clan member had done it; they would only think that perhaps the Fengxi Sect had provoked someone else.

Jiang Cheng understood this principle as well. What he had done would be discovered sooner or later; he just wanted to stall for as much time as he could now.

At the very least, he had to wait until he contacted the Demon Clan members. Alright, let me see which unlucky Sect is next.

Meanwhile, over at Su Yu's place, it was as peaceful as ever. Su Ling'er was also by his side watching Su Yu fish. Su Ling'er had not grown much; she still looked like a four or five-year-old child.

Su Yu did not mind this; after all, she was an Innate Spirit. He would have found it hard to believe if she did not have some unique qualities.

Su Ling'er sat quietly by his side watching Su Yu fish, her eyes fixed on the float of Su Yu's fishing rod. Su Yu saw the word 'focus' in Su Ling'er's eyes; it seemed she wanted to eat fish as well.

Usually, when she did not want to eat fish, Su Ling'er would not be like this; she would sit by his side with her eyelids fighting each other.

"It moved, it moved! Uncle Yu, you have a bite, hurry, hurry!"

"Don't be anxious, let me reel it in." After playing with the fish for a while, he managed to land it.

He could also craft a fishing rod that would make fishing very simple, but that would take away the fun for him.

Even if Su Yu came up empty-handed, that 'empty-handed' experience brought him a different kind of feeling.

Cheat at fishing? That would be less practical than just using magical power to grab the fish directly.

Seeing the fish that had been reeled in, Su Ling'er cheered happily.

"We have fish to eat! We have fish to eat!"

Su Yu looked at the big fish in front of him. This fish was quite large; it was just right for his barbecue grill.

"Alright, Ling'er, don't be impatient, you'll have something to eat soon."

"Yay, grilled fish! I love eating grilled fish!"

Seeing Su Ling'er's expression, Su Yu laughed and said, "It'll be ready soon."

The big fish sizzled on the barbecue grill, and the aroma of the grilled fish spread all around. Su Yu smelled the fragrance emitting from the fish. Hmm, it was still missing something. Su Yu sprinkled the new seasoning he had developed onto the grilled fish.

Su Ling'er smelled the aroma from the grilled fish and asked, "Uncle Yu, what did you just sprinkle on it? Why is it different from before? It smells even better than the previous grilled fish!"

Su Ling'er's eyes were filled with anticipation.

"This is a new seasoning I developed; you'll be able to taste it in a moment."

Su Yu looked at the golden-roasted fish in front of him. This was exactly the effect he wanted. His culinary skills could be said to be getting better and better.

Please call him the God of Cooking!

Su Yu picked up the grilled fish and gave half to Su Ling'er.

"You've been craving it, haven't you? Eat up."

Su Ling'er took the grilled fish handed to her by Su Yu and began to feast on it.

"It's so fragrant, delicious!"

Su Ling'er noticed the Seven-Colored Cloud Carp in the courtyard looking towards them.

"If you keep looking, I'll grill and eat you next time!" She even put on a fierce expression, but to Su Yu, it just looked funny.

Just as Su Yu was eating the grilled fish, over on Han Ting's side, she was running for her life.

Han Ting had sustained some injuries, but they were not serious.

Han Ting looked at the Golden Core Stage Yao Beast following them. They had just managed to find a way to temporarily trap this Yao Beast, but she didn't expect it to break free so quickly.

She could still briefly hold off this Golden Core Stage Yao Beast.

After all, she still had quite a few treasures on her that she hadn't used yet.

Some of the treasures given to her by Su Yu and Ye Lin hadn't been used either; these things were her trump cards.

Although she wasn't sure if they would be effective, holding off this Yao Beast shouldn't be a big problem.

Putting aside what Uncle Yu gave her, Uncle Ye Lin was at the Nascent Soul Stage; the things he gave her should be effective.

But Han Ting had not used these treasures yet; she was saving them for the final moment.

Looking at the situation, it seemed she would have to use some of her trump cards today.

Han Ting shouted to the group, "You all go first, I will cover the rear for you."

"Senior Sister Han, if we go, we go together. You are no match for this Golden Core Stage Yao Beast; we cannot abandon you."

"Hurry and leave! I have my own ways, and I still have some means at my disposal. You don't need to worry; if you stay here, you will affect me."

"You all leave quickly! Don't forget my Uncle Ye Lin; he gave me some life-saving means. I won't die that easily, and I shouldn't have a problem escaping."

Hearing the name of Ye Lin, the group felt relieved.

"Since Senior Brother Ye Lin left some means with Senior Sister Han, this Golden Core Stage Yao Beast shouldn't be able to cause Senior Sister Han too much harm."

"Alright, Senior Sister Han, take care."

Watching the others leave, Han Ting stopped running.

The Tiger Yao Beast came up to Han Ting and saw that she was no longer running.

"Knowing you can't escape, you've stopped to cover their retreat, have you?"

"You really are a good person. Don't worry, once I finish you off, none of them will be able to escape either; I want you all to become my rations."

Seeing this, Han Ting did not hesitate any longer. She first took out a protective necklace that Ye Lin had given her. Back then, Uncle Ye Lin told her that this necklace could block a full-force blow from anyone below the Nascent Soul Stage.

Putting on the necklace, she felt much more at ease. She remembered that Uncle Yu had also given her a necklace, saying it could block three attacks.

But Han Ting was not sure if it could block an attack from the Golden Core Stage.

Han Ting then took out some auxiliary equipment from her Storage Ring and put it on.

Things like auxiliary treasures that could increase spiritual power recovery, temporarily boost sword technique power, mitigate attack damage, and increase her speed.

The Tiger Yao Beast nearby was a bit dumbfounded watching this scene. You must be a Sect Saintess out for training, right? You have so many treasures.

Han Ting did not seek to defeat the Yao Beast; she only needed to stall for enough time before retreating.

But just as Han Ting was preparing to block the Tiger Yao Beast's attack, a figure walked out from the woods.
