The Villain Has Something to Say

Chapter 160: Throw the Instrument to Choose a Husband & the Fei Hua Sect (II)

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

Luo Jianqing abandoned True Nine-Petaled Lotus Record, and that was no difference from betraying his master. Xuan Lingzi certainly wouldn’t kick him out of Yu Xiao Peak for this, but it might become a problem for both.

It was True Nine-Petaled Lotus Record that enabled Yu Xiao Peak to stand top among others in Tai Hua mountain.

After few days’ consideration, Luo Jianqing decided to confess to Xuan Lingzi. However, just as Luo Jianqing made up his mind, they felt a horrible spiritual wave rolling up from the distant west, sweeping over hills. Mountains were shaking and earth was cracking.

Luo Jianqing and Xuan Lingzi looked at each other for some moments and released their full power. They transformed themselves into two bright lights, flying to the exploding site. Fifteen minutes later, they had travelled for almost thirty miles, and they finally saw a black flare of explosion.

The flare could be seen rising to the sky, as if the hellfire were searing the Heaven and Earth. Even the air was being scorched by the flare, and the dimension was twisted. The black flare was just like a huge flaming mountain, and Luo Jianqing had been overwhelmed by the scorching heat even if he was miles away from it.

He stared at the black flare from distance and fell into great shock, “Is that a demon?”

Xuan Lingzi frowned, “It’s not Fiend Qi, maybe a demon.”

They didn’t come closer to prevent it, as they had seen several high-ranking cultivators were combating the flare. It was not easy to sense the realm of a demon, but Xuan Lingzi could sense the realms of those cultivators.

“Five Body Fusion Cultivators, three Tribulation Passage Cultivators and… the third master of Fei Hua Sect, the early-stage Da Sheng Period Cultivator-Lady Yun Xian.”

Luo Jianqing felt a little reassured when he heard the realms of these cultivators, yet the last name made him confused, “They are the cultivators of Fei Hua Sect?”

Xuan Lingzi nodded, “Hundreds of years ago, I saw that Yun Xian on the battleground. She is indeed one of the masters in Fei Hua Sect.”

After a thought, Luo Jianqing asked, “I think they can handle it. Should we help them?”

Xuan Lingzi first shook his head and then nodded, “Well. Let’s see.”

Then, they witnessed an earthshaking battle.

A Da Sheng Period Cultivator, three Tribulation Passage Cultivators and five Body Fusion Cultivators!”

They forged a power that was even formidable in cultivation world. However, in face of this black flare, they never let down the guard and all stayed alert. They even set the famous Hundred Flowers Formation of Fei Hua Sect.

The Fei Hua Sect was the only one that exclusively recruited female cultivators among One Mountain, Four Sects, Eight Clans and Sixteen Schools.

As one of the four sects, Fei Hua Sect was brilliant. Although not so powerful as Tai Hua Mountain or Duan Hun Sect, these tough female cultivators overshadowed Gui Yuan Sect and Shen Jian Sect with amazing power. There were no talents in younger generation of Fei Hua Sect, so none of them could parallel Fo Zi of Gui Yuan Sect, but the average power of Fei Hua Sect was quite remarkable.

The battle between men and demons hundreds of years ago took a heavy toll on Tai Hua Mountain, yet Fei Hua Sect was spared from that suffering. The Hundred Flowers Formation helped them a lot in that battle. Each time, they appeared in group of ten or even hundreds, so the horrible formation had killed countless demons. The Hundred Flowers Formation was as hard as turtle shell, and as sharp as a sword.

“Although there are nine high-ranking cultivators, their Hundred Flowers Formation is less compelling than expected,” Luo Jianqing murmured, “I’ve heard that the power of this formation will accumulate with more cultivators. If a hundred Da Sheng Period Cultivators gather and use this formation, it can kill a late-stage Deity Transformation Period master!”

Xuan Lingzi echoed slightly.

Luo Jianqing asked, “Master, is that true?”

Xuan Lingzi said, “The number of Exalts in this world combined is less than fifty.”

Luo Jianqing laughed, “Then it’s true. If a hundred of Deity Transformation Period cultivators use Hundred Flowers Formation, they probably can kill a Deity!”

On the other side, the battle had raged on.

The masters of Fei Hua Sect in light yellow looked serious. They joined hands and formed the Hundred Flowers Formation. When the formation extended, the scent of flowers was pervasive in the air, as if hundreds of flowers blossomed together, petal following petal. These petals with spiritual power dancing in the air briskly. They seemed harmless, yet when they flew to the black flare, these petals cut it like a sharp knife quickly and forged into the flare.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The formation clashed with the black flare, giving out loud crashing noise.

Meanwhile, cultivators of Fei Hua Sect still gained the upper hand in this tense battle.

The black flare howled painfully, with its monster-like roars attacking the cultivators, but it had no chance to break down the formation as strong as iron. The huge noise echoed across mountains, yet this was unpopulated wilderness, so no one would hear it.

After numerous attacks from the formation, that demon finally showed his true form. Exposure to sun drove the demon mad. After a loud roar, its massive and huge body exploded!

That was indeed a fight-to-death battle.

Lady Yun Xian and other cultivators immediately stepped back. Luo Jianqing heard a sign from Xuan Lingzi, but in the next second, Xuan Lingzi had already stood in front of the explosive demon.

In an instant, the gold Xuan Lingzi Sword shined brightly, overwhelming the black flare. Xuan Lingzi didn’t underestimate this powerful and explosive demon. He fixed his eyes on it and tapped his sword quickly to transfer his spiritual power onto the sword. Then he raised his sword and approached the demon.

In a sudden, the gold sword light rose from the ground and rushed to the ugly demon.

The power of its explosion and gold sword light clashed, giving out loud noise.

Then, the crowd saw Xuan Lingzi hanging in the air, sword in hand. He was coldly looking at that demon which had been burnt to ashes. Luo Jianqing flew to him immediately and saw Xuan Lingzi putting his sword back. The gold nine-petal lotus was shining and stretching mildly, falling back to his forehead. That scene added some softness to his cold face.

The skill he had used was the last sword skill in True Nine-Petaled Lotus Record-Nine Lotus Rising to the Sky.

Seeing this skill, other cultivators from Fei Hua Sect from the distance recognized Xuan Lingzi, despite the effect of his face-changing pill and the absence of robe of Tai Hua Mountain.

Lady Yun Xian led others to greet Xuan Lingzi and told him what all these was about.

It turned out that each sect decided to search the traces of hidden demons within their territory after Xuan Lingzi told Sir Hao Xingzi what they encountered in Ding Hai Sect. Fei Hua Sect suspected that a Tribulation Passage demon might hide in four possible places. So, four teams were sent to investigate.

And the team led by Lady Yun Xian found that Tribulation Passage demon.

Xuan Lingzi and Luo Jianqing didn’t say much after they knew the whole story.

Although her realm was lower than Luo Jianqing, Lady Yun Xian was still his senior, so she didn’t use honorific form, “Since fellow cultivator Xuan Lingzi and your disciple come to our territory, we should entertain you as our guests. Please return to Fei Hua Sect with me so that I can elaborate this black flaring demon with you.”
