Chapter 857 - 348: News of Cen Zijin (2)

According to this, those female cultivators from Yaochi Palace, Chu Ning believes, are highly likely to have fallen into this person’s hands.

After all, since the Purple Moon Sect has captured many of Yaochi Palace’s female cultivators, the probability is high that they were handed over to this woman for training.

With this thought passing through his mind, Chu Ning feels this is indeed a good opportunity.

If it’s true as Xue Caiyun said, then he might be able to obtain information from a female cultivator of Yaochi Palace.

Moreover, this time, they are going to confront the Yin Demon Sect.

Chu Ning has no reason to be soft on this sect, be it when he was in the Cyan Creek Sect or later in Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands.

Chu Ning has had significant dealings with cultivators from this sect.

The Bone Boat flew half a month before arriving at a mountain area.

Hovering above, one could vaguely see small villas where some cultivators reside in the mountains, with a mountain range closely connected to the back.

Chu Ning’s Divine Sense is strong, so he fears not being discovered by the two Purple Moon Sect cultivators ahead and instead sends his Divine Sense downward to probe.

Wanting to get a preliminary understanding of the situation.

Soon, his face reveals a trace of surprise.

"It’s actually a small mine of Spirit Stones? No wonder the two Demon Sect sects are vying for it."

If a Spirit Stone mine is discovered, it would be a great fortune for a sect.

Although the Spirit Stone mine here doesn’t seem large and only appears to be of low tier.

Presumably, it should only yield Lower Grade Spirit Stones.

But even so, it is indeed worth some sects fighting over.

At the Spirit Stone mine below, the Yin Demon Sect has evidently stationed Golden Core cultivators.

As the Bone Boat just approached, two figures rose into the air.

Seeing the huge Bone Boat, the two’s faces changed, and they cried out in shock.

"Purple Moon Sect, defend!"

As soon as these words fell, figures rose into the sky from below.

"Everyone, take action, leave no survivors!"

Saying this, Xue Caiyun and Wu Lei both flew directly from the Bone Boat to confront the two Golden Core cultivators from the Yin Demon Sect.

The Foundation Establishment cultivators within the Purple Moon Sect, those who participated in tasks previously, are fine.

Those like Chu Ning who had just joined had faces full of wary and hesitant expressions.

However, this clearly did not include Chu Ning.

Just as Wu Lei’s voice fell, Chu Ning had already rushed out with the first batch of cultivators towards the Yin Demon Sect’s station below.

Within the Yin Demon Sect station, there are all Foundation Establishment cultivators, presumably the Qi Cultivation cultivators are in the mountain mine behind.

These cultivators saw Chu Ning and the others enter, and gathered their magical artifacts to meet up.

But Chu Ning proactively seeks out a Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment cultivator, with both hands wearing the Wristband Magical Artifact refined in Wangshan City, pounced directly like a fierce tiger descending a mountain.

This Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment cultivator seemed to still want to probe and did not exert his full strength.

Faced with Chu Ning’s Golden Armor Divine Shadow Fist attack, with one move, he fell into passivity.

After a few punches, this cultivator was directly killed by Chu Ning!

And Chu Ning did not hesitate to charge towards another Foundation Establishment cultivator.

In this combat scenario, Chu Ning’s presence is an overwhelming strike.

Even though Chu Ning has suppressed his revealed cultivation to Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment, he intentionally seeks out those Middle Stage and Early Stage Foundation Establishment cultivators to crush them effortlessly.

In a short period, the Yin Demon Sect cultivators who died at his hands reached nearly seven.

At this moment, the cultivators within the Yin Demon Sect seem to finally realize something’s amiss.

A cultivator who had killed a Foundation Establishment Late Stage Purple Moon Sect cultivator came up.

At this moment, Chu Ning naturally cannot reveal a state where he could crush the opponent.

Yet, he fought evenly with the opponent.

Until the end, Chu Ning made a daring exposure in a situation of "injury" to market a major flaw to this Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivator.

Then seizing the opportunity, he activated the Wristband Magical Artifact in his hand, severely injuring the opponent, and killed him outright.

However, after killing this person, Chu Ning no longer engaged them, but proactively retreated to the back.

Appearing obviously heavily injured, incapable of further combat.

The battle ended swiftly.

The numbers of the Purple Moon Sect evidently had the advantage, and they were better prepared.

Especially those two Golden Core cultivators of the Yin Demon Sect, one was in the Middle Stage, and the other was only in the Early Stage.

This one was killed on the spot by Wu Lei, who suppressed him, then Wu Lei teamed up with Xue Caiyun to kill the other Yin Demon Sect’s Golden Core cultivator.

The Yin Demon Sect cultivators were originally at a disadvantage, and after seeing their two leading Golden Core cultivators fall one after another, they lost their fighting spirit and scattered.

This led instead to a thorough cleanup by the Purple Moon Sect cultivators.

In just half an hour, the ground was left with nothing but corpses.

As for those Lower Tier disciples of the Yin Demon Sect left in the mountain mine, or the loose cultivators caught for labor, the Purple Moon Sect showed no mercy.

At Wu Lei’s command, they were all slaughtered completely.

There were indeed losses on the Purple Moon Sect side, three Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivators died.

And nearly twenty Middle Stage and Early Stage Foundation Establishment cultivators perished.

Wu Lei and Xue Caiyun quickly gathered the cultivators who had finished a round of fighting.

"Although I was engaged with the opposing Golden Core cultivators just now, I observed everyone’s performance at all times and specially assigned people to keep watch."

Xue Caiyun held a Jade Scroll, with her captivating eyes now carrying a bit of Evil Qi.
