Imperial Cultivation-Chapter 1138 - 1134: The End

Lu Xiaolu pursed her lips and smiled, "If they manage to make it here, we can capture them all at once and won’t need to force our way into their old nest, right?"

Chu Zhiyuan replied, "Let’s hope they’re arrogant enough."

If the Myriad Blood Sect can’t swallow this insult and insists on taking this Cave Mansion.

Through a full-force attack or by sending more top-tier experts to destroy us here, it would save us a lot of trouble.

If their old lair only has statues without top-tier experts, it’s not a significant threat.

We’ve already dealt with a batch of experts, and if more come in this wave, all the better.

Lu Xiaolu frowned in thought, "Hard to say."

The Myriad Blood Sect acts discreetly and has strong control over its disciples.

Located near Tongyuan City, yet Tongyuan City remains oblivious—it seems easy but is incredibly difficult.

Because it goes against human nature.

For the disciples of the Myriad Blood Sect, consuming essence is instinctual, inherent.

For them, the people of Tongyuan City are like the most delicious food, always at their lips, yet they can resist.

We have to admit, the control the Myriad Blood Sect has over its disciples is impressive.

In such circumstances, it’s hard to predict what they will do.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "It seems we need to provoke them." 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Lu Xiaolu quickly asked, "How to provoke?"

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Let them know what this Cave Mansion holds."

"What is it?" Lu Xiaolu asked, "What is the greatest temptation for them?"

"The Clear Heart and Calm Mind inheritance," Chu Zhiyuan said, "Spread the word there’s a secret technique, the Ice Heart Jade God Technique."

"Ice Heart Jade God Technique..." Lu Xiaolu lightly furrowed her brows, pondering if she’d ever heard the name.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "I once mentioned this secret technique in an ancient book within the sect, passed down from ancient times, extremely profound."

Lu Xiaolu asked, "What’s so profound about it?"

Chu Zhiyuan said, "It can harmonize with heaven and earth, penetrate the heavens and earth, achieving venerable status in a day."

Lu Xiaolu chuckled.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, "Senior sister doesn’t believe it?"

"Junior brother, you really exaggerate," Lu Xiaolu laughed, "If such a secret technique existed, I surely would’ve heard of it."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, "It indeed exists."

Lu Xiaolu said, "Alright, alright, spread it as such, but until now, no one’s really broken in, how to spread it out?"

Chu Zhiyuan said, "How about letting experts from the Guiyang Sword Sect or Fuyun Sect move out? They also broke in once, got injured, but coincidentally acquired a Jade Pendant."

"...Hmm, this can work." Lu Xiaolu said, "Give the Myriad Blood Sect some pressure, make them anxious, once anxious, they’ll panic."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded with a smile.

"Junior brother, you’re really bad." Lu Xiaolu giggled, "I’ll go tell senior sister."

...

In the wide cavern, Zhou Chongming, Chen Chengzhi, and Jing Qianxing gathered at the cave entrance.

Not far behind them, over eighty experts gathered, each forming a sword array, on high alert.

Zhou Chongming, with a solemn expression, quietly watched the distant mountain peak.

Chen Chengzhi and Jing Qianxing stood by his side, silent.

Though many people were in the cave, it was quiet enough to hear a pin drop.

After a while, Zhou Chongming broke the silence, "Junior Brother Jing, is everything alright on that side?"

Jing Qianxing smiled, "My three junior nephews are both stable and clever, absolutely no problem."

Zhou Chongming looked at Chen Chengzhi, "Junior Brother Chen, is the Jade Pendant alright?"

Chen Chengzhi said, "Rest assured, it won’t show any flaws; it’s indeed an Ancient Jade."

Zhou Chongming nodded slowly.

Jing Qianxing sighed, "We’ve already eliminated dozens of Myriad Blood Sect experts; I didn’t expect this ploy to be so powerful."

Chen Chengzhi said, "The key is that Xiao Chu is formidable; Heavenly Sword Peak’s luck is indeed remarkable."

Jing Qianxing shook his head, "Can’t be envious."

Among the Four Great Sects, each divine artifact has its wonders; the Heavenly Sword’s power is not the strongest, but it has the magic of projected clones.

It connects to a small world, thus drawing the elite of the small world to ascend to Biyuan Heaven.

Previously, the Four Great Sects were indifferent to the Heavenly Sword’s magic.

Because throughout history, those brought up were often too old, with little potential.

Their aptitude wasn’t bad; otherwise, they wouldn’t become Emperor, but unfortunately, they’re too old, their lifespan near its end.

Yet unexpectedly, this year there appeared one so young.

Judging by the momentum, it’s a rapid ascension.

This is indeed great luck.

Zhou Chongming smiled and said in a deep voice, "Hopefully, the Myriad Blood Sect won’t resist the temptation and will dispatch a large number of experts."

"We’ve done our utmost; the rest is up to fate." Jing Qianxing of the Fuyun Sect said, "If they don’t fall for it, then it’s heaven’s will not to destroy them."

"Even if they don’t fall for it, we’ll storm into their lair and destroy them. If heaven won’t destroy them, we will!" Chen Chengzhi sneered.

Jing Qianxing glanced at him, shaking his head.

Chen Chengzhi snorted, "Not knowing their lair is one thing, but knowing it and letting them roam free—I can’t sleep at night!"

"Alright, destroy them." Jing Qianxing quickly said, unwilling to cause discord at this time.

Zhou Chongming said, "Of course this time we won’t let them roam free! ... If this plan fails, then on to the next one."

"That’s more like it." Chen Chengzhi nodded.

Jing Qianxing said, "If this plan doesn’t work, then we’ll have to resort to a full-force attack... A full-scale assault, then."

He’s realized that this time, it’s necessary to wipe out the Myriad Blood Sect, whether with soft or hard tactics; they have to be relentless.

Chen Chengzhi said, "Unless it’s the last resort, we naturally won’t forcefully attack their lair... If nothing else works, we’ll simply besiege them, exhaust them to death, see how long they can hold out!"

"This is a good tactic!" Jing Qianxing immediately agreed.

Zhou Chongming nodded with a smile, "If nothing else works, we’ll use this tactic."

He suddenly turned serious, "They’re here!"

The other two concentrated, their expressions turning serious as well.

From afar came twenty-four experts, though distant, they already sensed the presence of their kind.

Among these twenty-four experts, there were definitely Nine-Turn Venerables, no lesser than themselves.

Carefully contemplating, they calculated the number.

Chen Chengzhi said, "Four Nine-Turns, perhaps?"

Jing Qianxing shook his head, "Probably six; the Myriad Blood Sect conceals so many top-tier experts."

In the world, having one Nine-Turn Venerable already makes a sect second-rate, first-rate has no more than nine Nine-Turns, only the Four Great Sects exceed ten.

But looking at the Myriad Blood Sect, it definitely exceeds ten, such strength?

"Prepare to take down these guys." Zhou Chongming said, "Don’t mess up."

"That’s impossible." Chen Chengzhi chuckled, "If Xiao Chu can kill them, how can’t we, with so many?"

"Yes, take them down," Jing Qianxing said solemnly.

If they can’t take down these Myriad Blood Sect experts, they’d lose face.

He glanced up at the opposing mountain peak.

Earlier, Qi Qingmei and Chu Zhiyuan stood atop that peak.

Now they’re gone, clearly hiding after seeing the Myriad Blood Sect experts moving out.

...

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Muffled booms were unceasing, echoing from the cave to the opposite mountain peak.

Chu Zhiyuan and Qi Qingmei stood side by side on a large boulder, quietly observing the opposite cave.

It’s noon, already no Martial Arts experts spectating.

Only the intense battle within the cave.

The Three Sects each set up sword arrays, and equipped with Spiritual Artifacts, heavily injured the Myriad Blood Sect experts in a torrential assault.

Qi Qingmei watched intently, while Chu Zhiyuan, through Super Sense, used Insight.

With careful planning and surprise, the Myriad Blood Sect experts lost half their numbers instantly.

Including the six Nine-Turn Venerables.

Nine-Turn Venerables stood at the pinnacle of Martial Arts, yet under the coordinated assault of the sword array and Little Heavenly Sword, they were swiftly slaughtered.

With the Nine-Turn Venerables gone, the remaining experts couldn’t stir up trouble, easily crushed by the experts of the Three Sects.

In less than fifteen minutes, the cave had quieted down.

Bodies of the Myriad Blood Sect disciples were flung outside the cave.

Chu Zhiyuan nodded with satisfaction.

In the Myriad Blood Sect lair, the top-tier experts had now lost three-fourths of their strength.

Only four Nine-Turn experts remained, the others not reaching Nine-Turns.

This time truly caught the Myriad Blood Sect off guard, coupled with the allure of the Ice Heart Jade God Technique.

The Ice Heart Jade God Technique wasn’t something he saw in the Heavenly Sword Sect’s ancient books but found in the Myriad Blood Sect’s archives.

...

As the sun set, its remnants shone on the valley of the Myriad Blood Sect’s lair.

Hundreds of experts silently infiltrated.

With so many experts gone, the valley’s defense was greatly diminished.

Chu Zhiyuan led Four Sects experts, bypassed the traps, and silently infiltrated the valley.
