Clan Cultivation: I Transmigrated With My Smartphone-Chapter 690 - 607: Saintess Xing Lan (Additional Update!)

PS: This chapter counts as a supplementary update!

...

Lin Yuan, an elder of the Qiankun Sect, had numerous treasures in his storage bag, including the Qiankun Map, a treasure sword, and other valuables, all of great worth.

But Lu Xuanji did not even glance at them and disappeared with Qinglian.

Whish, whish!

Lu Xuanji activated the Vertical Earth Golden Light and vanished.

During his escape, he once planned to shatter the void and flee. But he seemed to think of something and forcibly halted.

After about ten breaths, Lu Xuanji's figure flickered and he stopped his steps.

Boom, boom, boom!

The void shattered, and a sound emerged in the void, descending upon the scene of the incident, observing everything, constantly scanning the surroundings, and searching for clues.

"The people from Qiankun Sect, they arrived too quickly!"

Qinglian looked at this scene, slightly surprised, and a nameless fear flashed in her heart.

At the same time, there was a hint of relief.

Many cultivators are accustomed to stepping forward to reap the spoils of battle and leaving with various treasures after killing an enemy.

But Lu Xuanji forcefully restrained this desire and quickly fled.

If greed had led him to covet the loot, he might have already been tracked down by that enemy.

"Quick, hide!"

Lu Xuanji said, activating a secret technique, disappearing into the ground with Qinglian.

...

Rumble!

The void was torn open, and just less than ten breaths after Lu Xuanji left, a cultivator descended.

This cultivator wore brown battle armor, tall and mighty, with a physique as strong as a bull. Standing there like a tower, he wore a mask and held a heavy sword as tall as a person in his hand.

Upon arriving at the battlefield, the cultivator's eyes flashed like lightning, quickly observing everything on the battlefield and searching for pertinent information.

He sniffed the air, his ears slightly twitching, as if searching for something,

"Interesting!"

The cultivator said, his voice somewhat hoarse, "This person uses impressive tactics. After killing Elder Lin Yuan, he retreated immediately and vanished without taking any loot. Cautious indeed. Such a cultivator is somewhat difficult to deal with."

At this moment, the void flickered, and a female cultivator descended.

She wore a purple palace garment, her figure graceful, her face extremely beautiful, with willow-leaf eyebrows and phoenix-shaped eyes, her eyes like cold stars with an added touch of evil qi; her bosom was towering, her legs slender and smooth, round and elegant, with a waist thin enough to be held in a hand. Her skin was like white jade, heroic and valiant, appearing rather martial.

"Elder of Celestial Punishment, have you found the culprit?"

The female cultivator inquired.

"No!"

The Celestial Punishment Elder spoke, words laced with regret, and sighed, "That person is extremely clever. After killing a Void Refining Elder, he took no spoils, making tracking impossible. Furthermore, he used secret techniques to disrupt the battlefield's aura, leaving the magical energy on the battlefield quite chaotic, making it difficult to determine what kind of divine secret technique the culprit used."

"As for Elder Lin Yuan, he suffered a fatal attack. With a single strike, he was reduced to ashes, his soul scattered into oblivion."

"However, I can broadly infer some characteristics of the culprit: the suspect is a Void Refining Cultivator, but his cultivation is not too high, at most the third layer of Void Refining; the suspect does not come from any major sects but is a loose cultivator, or from a small faction; finally, the suspect excels in saber techniques, being a top-tier swordsman!"

A Void Refining Elder is a significant figure in the Qiankun Sect.

But now, due to her involvement, he fell to calamity.

No matter what the final investigation result is, whether the culprit is captured, she is bound to face the corresponding consequences.

The Celestial Punishment Elder asked, "Star Mistress, what kind of magic and divine techniques did the female cultivator use, and how did she appear?"

The female cultivator said, "Elder, this is the appearance of that female cultivator."

Saying so, she activated her magical power, transforming it into the image of a female cultivator in the void.

This female cultivator, in a cyan dress, had an aura as serene as a lotus, her breaths smooth and placid, seemingly ready to break through shackles at any time and enter a new realm.

The Celestial Punishment Elder looked at the female cultivator's appearance, activated the [Arctic Divine Calculation], and tried to deduce information from her appearance, but after a moment's effort, he gave up, "This female cultivator's appearance is disguised through secret techniques, making it impossible to deduce her true information."

The Saintess spoke, "Elder, that female cultivator excels at Cyan Lotus Sword Qi, her true form is a cyan lotus, and her realm is at half-step to the peak of Void Refining."

The Celestial Punishment Elder remained silent, and after a long while said, "Difficult indeed! With my abilities, deducing her information is a bit challenging. We must request Elder Celestial Secret's help to calculate some of her details."

The Saintess seemed to understand something and nodded, "Elder, I understand!"

...

Hidden underground, Lu Xuanji concealed himself.

Utilizing the Earth Escape, he quickly withdrew.

Constantly moving, he had distanced himself far from the battlefield.

Arriving in a small town, the two temporarily settled down and breathed a sigh of relief.

Killing a Grand Elder of the Qiankun Sect was like stirring up a hornet's nest, surely triggering an investigation and pursuit by the Qiankun Sect.

Qinglian said, "Xuanji, sorry for causing you trouble and leading to the tragic death of people from the Human Race!"

Lu Xuanji laughed, "This is not your fault but the fault of being weak. If I had the cultivation of Harmonization, would the Qiankun Sect dare to pressure me, dare to call a stag a horse? If I had the cultivation of Tribulation Crossing, would I fear the Qiankun Sect? All mistakes stem from one's own weakness!"

Qinglian frowned, "I never expected that woman to be the Saintess of the Qiankun Sect. Yet, the Saintess's strength was surprisingly lacking."

Lu Xuanji laughed, "That Saintess is indeed strong, but just not stronger than you. With the Qiankun Sect's deep foundations, the Saintess they produced is strong. However, your true form being a cyan lotus, and with years of diligent cultivation and comprehension, you've long surpassed your limitations. Defeating her is normal."
