Incredible Sect Simulator-Chapter 408 - 378: No Need to Go Far, I’ll Take Action
"The demon beast is inside here; it’s a wolf demon. We’ve temporarily trapped it, but..."
Zhang Mengqing paused, pointed at the large courtyard, and showed a troubled expression on his face.
"This wolf demon is not weak, probably reaching around the Fourth Layer of Qi Cultivation. If it weren’t for the magical artifact bestowed by the clan leader, I truly wouldn’t have been able to trap it within this courtyard."
The courtyard belongs to an ordinary prominent family, and due to the appearance of the wolf demon, the family inside had already fled in fright, leaving behind the large courtyard with the wolf demon temporarily trapped within.
After temporarily trapping the wolf demon, Zhang Mengqing immediately lit a wolf smoke to contact the Zhang Family, hoping to get assistance.
This is what led to Zhang Zhiwen and Chu Qin witnessing the scene of the wolf smoke burning.
"A strength around the Fourth Layer of Qi Cultivation, Uncle Six, this is more than just tricky."
Learning the rough strength of the demon beast, Zhang Zhiwen showed an expression more difficult than crying, shaking his head slightly, and said, "My cultivation level is only at the Second-Layer Qi Cultivation. How could I be a match for that demon beast..."
Having said that, at this moment, Zhang Zhiwen no longer hid his strength and thoroughly revealed his aura.
"Second-Layer Qi Cultivation..."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Mengqing sensed the intensity of Zhang Zhiwen’s aura and froze for a moment, saying, "Virtuous nephew, when Uncle Six saw you last year, you were already at Second-Layer Qi Cultivation. How come after more than a year, your cultivation hasn’t progressed much?"
His words, paired with Zhang Mengqing’s wry smile, didn’t carry any sarcasm or ridicule towards Zhang Zhiwen.
"Uncle Six, you’re aware of the current situation of our Zhang Family; even the daily spirit stone expenses are tight. For us younger members, it’s very difficult to have spirit stones to aid in cultivation, let alone resources like spirit pills."
"Ah."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Mengqing naturally knowing Zhang Family’s current situation, couldn’t help but sigh, choosing not to dwell further on this topic.
"Since neither of us can deal with the demon beast inside, let’s patiently wait for the family to send someone to assist."
Zhang Mengqing said helplessly, "For now, that’s all we can do."
Hearing this, Zhang Zhiwen was taken aback, then looked towards Chu Qin with a hesitant expression.
"Zhang Dao You, are you thinking of asking me to intervene?"
Seeing the hesitation on Zhang Zhiwen’s face, Chu Qin quickly guessed his thoughts.
With a Late-stage Qi Cultivator by his side, why would he opt for distant support from the Zhang Family?
If it were himself, he would think the same way.
"Haha, letting Chu Daoist have a laugh."
Zhang Zhiwen embarrassedly scratched his head, with a hint of anticipation in his expression, "I wonder what Chu Dao’s strength is..."
Since Chu Qin had cultivated the Qi Concealing Technique and usually did not reveal his cultivation level, Zhang Zhiwen was unclear about Chu Qin’s exact strength, only knowing he was more capable than himself.
With Zhang Zhiwen expressing himself, Zhang Mengqing, standing aside, turned his attention to Chu Qin, a sense of curiosity arising about Chu Qin’s identity and background. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
Upon first meeting Chu Qin, Zhang Mengqing assumed that Chu Qin was a friend of Zhang Zhiwen.
After all, it’s quite normal for cultivators to make friends.
From his appearance, Chu Qin seemed younger than Zhang Zhiwen.
This led Zhang Mengqing to subconsciously believe that even if Chu Qin was a cultivator, his strength should be similar to Zhang Zhiwen, around Second and Third Layer Qi Cultivation.
Facing the simultaneous scrutiny from Zhang Zhiwen and Zhang Mengqing, Chu Qin smiled lightly, withdrew the Qi Concealing Technique, and released his aura.
"My cultivation, Eighth-Layer Qi Cultivation."
Chu Qin spoke, revealing his level of cultivation.
"Eighth-Layer Qi Cultivation!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhiwen first froze, muttering to himself, somewhat surprised by Chu Qin’s strength.
As for Zhang Mengqing, his expression was somewhat incredulous at the moment, almost thinking he had misheard, immediately sensing Chu Qin’s released aura carefully.
"Indeed, Eighth-Layer Qi Cultivation!"
Zhang Mengqing’s gaze sharpened, the expression in his eyes showing a few traces of admiration when looking at Chu Qin.
"May I ask where this Daoist friend is from?"
Zhang Mengqing inquired.
Originally planning to call him "young friend", but upon consideration thought it inappropriate, given the other’s cultivation was several small realms higher than his own.
"Haha, look at me, forgot to introduce you to Uncle Six."
Zhang Zhiwen slapped his forehead.
"This is Chu Qin, a disciple of Cyan Mountain Sect, Chu Dao You."
"So this Daoist friend is from Cyan Mountain Sect, pleasure to meet you."
Zhang Mengqing nodded slightly, seeing that the other was young, possessing such strength was no surprise.
The Cyan Mountain Sect now belongs to a Foundation Establishment Sect, with Foundation Establishment Cultivators stationed, and its predecessor was even a Golden Core Sect, possessing the legacy left by the Golden Core Ancestor, something known to Zhang Mengqing as a cultivator in Lushan County.
"Pleasure to meet you."
Chu Qin smiled slightly, saying, "By the order of my sect leader, I’ve come to assist Zhang Dao You in evaluating the spirit roots of the Zhang Family children in Pingyang Town."
"I see."
Only then did Zhang Mengqing understand.
Chu Qin didn’t want to speak too much on this, his gaze turning to the courtyard, saying, "The strength of the demon beast inside, if truly around the Fourth Layer of Qi Cultivation, there’s no need to wait for distant assistance, I shall take action."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhiwen and Zhang Mengqing glanced at each other, their faces showing an expression of delight.
"Then we trouble Chu Dao You, inside please."
Zhang Mengqing took the initiative to lead the way without being polite, as removing the demon was urgent; the magical artifact trapping the beast wouldn’t support much longer, and within an hour, the wolf demon would break free from its constraints.
Chu Qin nodded slightly, following Zhang Mengqing to the courtyard entrance.
"I’ll activate the magical artifact barrier. Chu Dao You, virtuous nephew, please be careful."
Zhang Mengqing formed a seal with his hands, pointing remotely at the entrance to the courtyard.
The magical artifact sealing the courtyard is an enemy-trapping spiritual artifact called ’Cage Lock’, a Tier One Top-Grade item.
It is precisely with the aid of this magical artifact that Zhang Mengqing could temporarily trap the wolf demon within this courtyard.
The entire courtyard is currently under the seal of the Cage Lock.
As the magical artifact barrier slowly opened, ripples of power of laws arose, and a man-sized opening appeared.
Before the three stepped inside, a sharp snarling sound suddenly came from within the opening, and a black figure suddenly flew out, pouncing on Zhang Zhiwen.
"It’s the demon beast!"
Zhang Mengqing reacted swiftly, spotting the beast’s figure fly out, immediately shouted.
Zhang Zhiwen’s expression changed, despite Zhang Mengqing’s earlier warning to be on guard, facing the sudden attack of the demon beast inevitably left him a bit panicked, causing his expression to freeze for a moment.
"No worries!"
At this moment, before Zhang Zhiwen could make a move, a voice sounded beside him.
