Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 367: Whose Lives Were You Planning To Leave Behind Here?

“Who?” Yan Tianzhi noticed the woman who had appeared beside Lu Yang. He had been watching the battle high up in the sky all this time and hadn’t paid attention to Lu Yang’s situation. How had someone appeared in the blink of an eye?

Lan Ting and Bai Ming had similar reactions, having failed to notice Lu Yang summoning his Big Senior Sister through Animal Form Fist.

“Acting Sect Leader?” Lan Ting had seen Yun Zhi when she accompanied her master to the Dao-Seeking Sect for a meeting. Yun Zhi had even tried to tie red strings and matchmake her with Lu Yang. Lan Ting’s shifu later explained to her that Yun Zhi was the acting sect leader of the Dao-Seeking Sect and had unfathomably high cultivation.

In Bai Ming’s case, he recognized Yun Zhi from the exchange between the Five-Elements Sect and the Dao-Seeking Sect. He had heard his master warn that the Big Senior Sister of the Dao-Seeking Sect was the strongest of her generation across immortal sects and not one to be provoked.

Meng Jingzhou smirked confidently. The sudden appearance of the red-robed Transcendent Tribulation cultivator now seemed trivial. He was even willing to join in the battle himself. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

“This is Yun Zhi, our Big Senior Sister, the Acting Sect Leader of the Dao-Seeking Sect,” Meng Jingzhou announced solemnly. “With her here, we’re absolutely safe!”

Lan Ting and the others struggled to understand.

As the acting sect leader of the Dao-Seeking Sect, her cultivation should be roughly on par with the Taciturn Daoist Priest—at most at the Transcendent Tribulation Stage, if we hazard a bold guess. If she fights with the Transcendent Tribulation cultivator in the sky, the shockwaves alone could flip the mountains, turn the seas, and destroy heaven and earth. How is it safe at all?

Yunzhi ignored the crowd, quietly gazing up at the aerial battle. Her face was expressionless, making it impossible to tell what she was thinking.

Lan Ting noticed that the chatty Xia Qun had suddenly fallen silent, trembling uncontrollably. “Lord Xia, are you alright?”

Gulp. Xia Qun forced a smile while swallowing his saliva. “I-I’m fine. See how happy I am! The provincial governor’s saved.”

Yun Zhi turned to look at Xia Qun. “You know me?”

Faced with Yun Zhi’s question, Xia Qun could only reply, “Senior, when the old ancestor left the ancestral grounds to welcome you personally, I happened to be present.”

Xia Qun couldn’t be blamed for being scared. Who is our old ancestor? Hardly anyone throughout history can compare. I’ve never heard of the old ancestor leaving the ancestral grounds.

Who would have thought that the day I prepared to visit the old ancestor, I saw him leaving the ancestral grounds just to receive this unbelievably beautiful senior from the Dao-Seeking Sect?

The weight this senior carries speaks for itself.

Yun Zhi nodded. “We are similar in age. No need to address me as ‘senior.’ You can just call me Fellow Daoist Yun Zhi.”

Xia Qun nodded obediently but didn’t dare comply. If the old ancestor learns of this, I’m afraid I won’t leave the imperial city alive.

Lu Yang was startled. If he’s around Yun Zhi’s age and already at the Basic Fusion Stage, doesn’t that mean his cultivation talent matches Senior Brother Dai Bufan’s?

Meng Jingzhou was slightly puzzled after noticing and associating Xia Qun’s reaction with his talent.

“What came to your mind?” Lu Yang transmitted an auditory message.

“Do you know the surname of the imperial family?”

“I remember it’s ‘Jiang?’”

“Correct. But when the imperial family is outside and needs to conceal their identities, they usually use the surname ‘Xia’ instead.”

“You’re saying that Lord Xia is from the imperial family?”

“It’s possible.”

In the sky above, the red-robed figure let out a creepy laughter as he rescued the two archaic cultivators and fed them restorative pills.

“Your Excellency.” The two archaic cultivators tossed aside all arrogance before the red-robed figure.

“The two of you did well. Hiding you in this secret domain was not in vain. I managed to witness the legendary national fortune and Supreme Sword Projection.”

At his cultivation level, the red-robed figure could draw many inferences from the projection alone. The national fortune and Supreme Sword Projection will undoubtedly be obstacles in our Great Yu Dynasty’s resurgence.

Had the red-robed figure intervened personally, the provincial governor would have used the national fortune to evacuate the cultivators below, not for combat. The provincial governor’s heart sank. The national fortune is related to our foundation. If the archaic cultivators figure out how it’s used, they will come up with countermeasures. At that time, the invincible national fortune will become restricted on every front, its power greatly diminished.

As for this Supreme Sword, even I don’t know its true nature. But if a Transcendent Tribulation cultivator places it in such high regard, it must be of paramount significance.

“I can’t let you live!”

Now that things had come to this, Sect Leader Mi and the others were no longer irrelevant. The provincial governor could only rely on the official seal in his hand.

Activating the nation’s fortune again, he reformed the Supreme Sword, whose sword qi surged with resplendent rays even more dazzling than the sun, as if heaven and earth had just been created.

The red-robed figure sneered, finding the provincial governor’s attempt futile. With the red-robed figure’s ability to temporarily make himself incorporeal, all attacks would only pass through him. Even if his combat prowess was not the highest among those at his cultivation realm, no one could harm him.

As the Supreme Sword Projection descended, a gash appeared in his chest, splitting apart his flesh and revealing the white bones inside.

“What?!” The red-robed figure was shocked. My intangibility ability is a part of a rule and has never failed, yet I was careless enough to let the Supreme Sword Projection injure me severely. “No wonder His Excellency the Imperial Preceptor repeatedly warned me about the Supreme Sword Projection. So this is why! The Supreme Sword Projection can make rules vanish temporarily!”

Crack.

The jade hung behind the red-robed figure’s neck had shattered. This was a precious life-substitution treasure, which meant that the Supreme Sword Projection had already killed him once!

The red-robed figure’s wrath twisted into maniacal laughter. “Now is not the time to fall out with Great Xia, and I originally wanted to spare your life, but since you’ve injured me and courted death, you shall be buried here with those cultivators below!” As he spoke, all signs of playfulness disappeared from his visage, and a suffocating stillness filled the air.

Alluring flowers bloomed beneath his feet, carpeting the whole sky. As he clenched his fists tightly, the flowers withered, and light emerged from the flower buds, coalescing into a whip in his hand.

With a mere flick of the whip, space shattered.

The provincial governor paled. This is a precious treasure that can shatter space. Even if I can withstand it, the cultivators below can’t.

The two archaic cultivators were nearest to the red-robed figure. They were shivering, fully aware of how terrifying he could be on his rampages. During the Great Yu era, he could only quell his rage after slaughtering several cities of people, earning him the epithet “Red-Robed Calamity!”

“All of you shall leave your lives behind!” The red-robed figure roared, his whip crackling with thunder. The entire space was shaking, as if it was about to crumble.

Despair gripped those cultivators below, their hearts plagued with terror. The devastating destructive force on display had surpassed anything they could imagine.

The red-robed figure couldn’t stop laughing his head off as he lashed out with the whip in a powerful strike.

“Hmm?”

His raised arm froze mid-swing, unable to be put down no matter how he tried.

“Wait, it’s not just my arm!”

Horror set in as he realized he was completely paralyzed.

“Spatial Confinement!”

I’m adept at the whip, and my whip is a precious treasure that rends space. How could someone have confined me with space?!

When did it happen?!

A graceful figure with an icy demeanor appeared before him. Her cold eyes carried not a shred of emotion as she slowly spoke.

“Whose lives were you planning to leave behind here?”
