Imperial Cultivation-Chapter 1186 - 1182: Breaking the Seal

Chu Zhiyuan said, "They are probably using this Jade Pendant for the first time."

"But it may not necessarily be the first time," Ding Huanchun replied.

Chu Zhiyuan nodded slowly.

It couldn’t be confirmed whether it was the first time or not.

Maybe it had been used before.

Ding Huanchun examined the Jade Pendant in his hand, gritted his teeth, and said, "We can’t hide this matter, it must be reported." 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Chu Zhiyuan nodded, "The sooner, the better. You should go now."

Ding Huanchun clasped his fists, turned, and hurried away, his expression heavy.

Chu Zhiyuan watched him leave, his expression grave, as he took out the Jade Pendant from his chest.

He closed his eyes and began to concentrate and sense.

The Super Sense expanded outward.

Ten miles away, three middle-aged men stood on a mountain peak, gazing towards this side.

The mountain peak stood majestically, half obscured by white clouds and mist, making it indistinct.

They were standing in the mist, their eyes gloomy like wolf eyes, observing this side.

It was clear their vision could penetrate the white mist to see the situation here.

Chu Zhiyuan squinted his eyes slightly, observing the three men, knowing they were the masterminds.

The three middle-aged men were solemn, their gazes cold and serious, remaining silent for a long time.

After Ding Huanchun left, they finally broke the silence.

"Who is this?" The central middle-aged man’s figure was tall and burly, with a face like Crown Jade, his demeanor was calm as an abyss, and he said slowly, "Ruining our great plan!"

"No idea." The other two shook their heads.

"Haven’t seen this person before."

"But looking at how he’s getting along with Ding Huanchun, he’s certainly an acquaintance."

"A Court Honored Expert of the City Guard?"

"It’s possible."

"We must find a way to eliminate him!"

"..."

The three of them fell silent again.

They admitted that if it were them facing the impact of over sixty experts, they could never handle it so easily.

All they could do would be to escape.

Over sixty experts, all in the Venerable Realm, with small Realm differences—First Transition, Sixth Transition, Eighth Transition, and even one Ninth Transition.

So many Venerable Realm experts attacking simultaneously, even a Ninth Transitions Expert would find it difficult to withstand.

Not to mention there was Miracle Technique, capable of Jade and Stone Burning at any time.

This person had astonishingly killed all over sixty experts within just a dozen breaths, an unbelievably terrifying strength.

"What Senior Brother said is correct, we must find a way to eliminate him!" a slender and strong middle-aged man said in a deep voice, "However, Senior Brother, this one might be very hard to deal with."

"Difficult or not, we must deal with him!" the tall and burly middle-aged man said, "If we don’t eliminate him, our plan will be very hard to carry out, ... has he already seen through the wonder of the Dustless Tears?"

"It seems he has noticed something amiss."

"...This person ruined our great plan!" the tall and burly middle-aged man said coldly, "He must not live!"

"Senior Brother, how can we kill him?" The third member of the trio, an ugly-looking man who always remained silent, couldn’t help but shake his head this time and said, "It seems we can’t kill him, right?"

"...The only option is to invoke the power of the Evil Venerable!" the tall middle-aged man said slowly, his voice grave.

The other two men changed their expressions slightly.

"Think it over, Senior Brother!" the ugly middle-aged man said in a deep voice.

The other slender, strong middle-aged man shook his head, "It’s not the time yet."

Invoking the power of the Evil Venerable required a huge cost, one that was expensive and unbearable.

The tall middle-aged man said in a deep voice, "Can our Elders handle him?"

The two middle-aged men shook their heads.

"Then how do we kill him?" the tall middle-aged man said coldly, "Shall we let him go about freely, continuing to disrupt our best plans?"

"I’ve heard the Court has already offered Lifespan Extension Pill as a bounty, and the Evil Extermination Department and the Demon Hunting Bureau are vying for it," the ugly middle-aged man said slowly, "This person should not be from the Evil Extermination Department or the Demon Hunting Bureau."

The other two nodded.

The Evil Extermination Department knew about the Evil Sect, and the Evil Sect knew about the Evil Extermination Department.

Such an expert, and so young, would never be unknown.

"Why not use another to kill?" the ugly middle-aged man said in a deep voice, "The Wanxiang Sect or the Qianye Sect, they are recently also plotting to break into the Imperial City, and also the Giant Spirit Sect is reportedly sending out their Divine Son."

The tall middle-aged man said, "Is the Giant Spirit Sect’s Divine Son real?"

"Senior Brother, the Divine Son is said to have already left the mountains, and will reveal himself this time."

The tall middle-aged man said in a deep voice, "The Giant Spirit Sect has huge ambitions!"

"The Giant Spirit Sect releasing their Divine Son this time is not to be underestimated, maybe this Divine Son can kill him!"

"This Divine Son won’t listen to us."

"We can pass the message to them, this Divine Son is surely proud."

"It might not work." The tall middle-aged man shook his head, "In the end, we still rely on ourselves."

"Senior Brother..."

The two middle-aged men both showed signs of persuasion.

"This indignation is hard to swallow!" The tall middle-aged man took a deep breath.

Such painstaking planning, originally thought to be foolproof, but in an instant, all efforts went down the drain.

This kind of grievance and frustration made his heart boil with murderous intent that was hard to suppress.

The ugly middle-aged man said, "Senior Brother, with the Dustless Tears in hand, we will eventually break into the Imperial City, just can’t get in first."

The tall middle-aged man said in a deep voice, "He may have seen through the wonders of the Dustless Tears."

"So what?" The ugly middle-aged man smiled faintly, "Knowing or not knowing, what’s the difference? Can he possibly break the Dustless Tears?"

"Impossible!" The tall middle-aged man shook his head.

The slender, strong middle-aged man also shook his head.

The ugly middle-aged man frowned, "I feel something is not quite right, how about we go back first?"

The slender middle-aged man quickly nodded, "Let’s leave quickly, don’t let him track us."

He had long harbored thoughts of retreat but was embarrassed to show cowardice, so he held on strongly.

He faintly felt a chill inside his heart.

That guy was too strange, who knew if he could sense their observation.

This guy couldn’t be measured by common logic; if he could sense it and chase after them...

"Let’s go." The tall middle-aged man said in a deep voice.

The three of them turned around and leaped off the mountain peak, heading for the distance.

Just after they left, a Light Gate appeared in the Void, Leng Tieya stepped out of the Light Gate, standing on the mountain peak.

He looked down at the spot where the three had stood, and gracefully left.

Super Sensing Illumination enveloped the three, trailing them unhurriedly.

...

Chu Zhiyuan opened his eyes but didn’t hurry to leave the city gate, continuing to stand aside with folded arms.

The City Guards felt relieved at heart.

Seeing Chu Zhiyuan’s slaughter and Insight on the Evil Demons firsthand, they were filled with awe and admiration.

With Chu Zhiyuan standing beside them, they felt full of security without any fear.

Especially the four who used the Candle Demon Eye, they felt very assured in their hearts.

The previous two had made them nervous, their confidence shaken; if Chu Zhiyuan weren’t beside them, they would be uneasy and insecure.

Seeing Chu Zhiyuan by their side, their hearts were calm, and they weren’t afraid to make mistakes.

Chu Zhiyuan took out the Jade Pendant, holding it in his hand, and observed it with Insight.

Various auras entered this Jade Pendant, trying to figure out its interior.

The Super Sense was blocked, unable to see its marvels.

Only the aura of the Demon Suppressing Divine Tree could stimulate an anomaly within it.

The Jade Pendant flashed with Golden Light.

Super Sense took the opportunity to see, vaguely realizing that inside the Jade Pendant was a mass of Golden Light.

Like a miniature sun.

It was emitting Golden Light, yet seemed to be devouring the surrounding aura, strange and contradictory.

Any other aura entering got devoured by this miniature sun.

But when the aura of the Demon Suppressing Divine Tree entered, not only did this miniature sun not devour it, it even showed signs of repelling it, wanting to expel it.

Its Golden Light flashed, pushing the aura of the Demon Suppressing Divine Tree outwards, trying to push it further away.

Chu Zhiyuan felt amazed.

Since obtaining the Demon Suppressing Divine Tree, he had never encountered a force capable of expelling its aura.

This Dustless Tears was indeed fantastic.

But trying to observe its marvels had shown no progress.

He shook his head continuously and suddenly turned to look.

Ding Huanchun brought two elders, floating over, the previously-seen Court Honored Experts from the General Mansion, Su Lingxuan, and Zhou Chaoyang.

Chu Zhiyuan clasped his fists in greeting.

Su Lingxuan and Zhou Chaoyang smiled.

Su Lingxuan sighed, "Only Mr. Chu can discover such a thing."

Chu Zhiyuan sighed, "Senior Su, did you discover the wonders of this Jade Pendant?"

Su Lingxuan shook his head, "Never seen such an item, very troublesome, let’s see if we can find a way to restrain it."

He took out a White Pearl from his bosom, dim like a mass of light, "This is the All Things Pearl, with Insightful prowess."
