Chapter 59: Evil Cultist He Long
Facing my question, Xiao Chengqian answered very directly: “That group of people is very mysterious. We went into the mountains and naturally encountered the demon cultivators. We got the news and came here without stopping. I think that group of people, as cultivators, have no reason not to discover the demon cultivators, and there is no reason not to get this news to find the soul of the great demon. But at least I haven’t seen any movement from them, or maybe we were ahead of them.”
“Are there many demon cultivators?” I thought of the seven dangerous places marked on Lao Zhang’s map.
“Nowadays, where can you find many? My grandfather once told me that in the early years, there weren’t many monsters in that mountain range? But to be honest, meeting a more capable one should not be easy, and one of the elders was even injured.” Xiao Chengqian’s face was a bit heavy when he said this.
I didn’t say anything. I absolutely believed Xiao Chengqian’s words. Just like Xiao Xi and Xiao Mao, they were born with a spirit, so their transformation was a bit simpler, but their original form was a weasel, not a powerful existence.
Xiao Chengqian saw that I was silent and continued, “In fact, the two organizations, the Ming and the Dark, are constantly fighting each other. Our faction is considered a centrist faction, caught in the middle, but our strength is there, and it is not easy to move us. Those people take this operation very seriously. I heard that all the people who came were elite-level beings. There should be more than 20 people. Chengyi, you are weak and powerless. You are undoubtedly taking food from the tiger’s mouth. Withdraw?”
“Back then, it was you who took Yang Sheng away. Where is Yang Sheng now? Is he still with you?” I didn’t answer Xiao Chengqian. My attitude was already very clear. How would I know if I didn’t try? Yang Sheng was actually a taboo topic for me and Xiao Chengqian. After all, it involved too much, but this time I couldn’t help but mention it. That tragic battle of the little devils was, in the end, inextricably linked to Yang Sheng.
“Him?” Xiao Chengqian’s face looked a bit embarrassed.
I was going to say something, but at that moment, my face suddenly changed, and the next moment, I subconsciously opened my third eye. After I had done all this, Xiao Chengqian’s face also changed.
Among the younger generation of spiritual beings, few are stronger than me, but Xiao Chengqian, as an outstanding descendant on that side, is naturally not bad either. He also noticed that there was a spiritual being nearby!
What kind of spirit is this that even the old Wu ghost didn’t notice?
But under the Heavenly Eye, I quickly saw it. There was a faint black aura floating in the sky, with only the distorted face of a person. This was a relatively unified form鈥攁 ghost head!
The signature of evil cultivation, the art of raising ghosts!
Once we discovered it, there was no way we could let it go. I was just about to summon it, but then the ghost head suddenly disappeared. The problem was simple. Summoning the ghost head back was quick, and our magic couldn’t keep up, only because we discovered it too late.
“Our conversation just now was overheard.” Xiao Chengqian’s face was ugly.
“It wasn’t much of a eavesdrop. Even if you control the ghost’s head, there is a distance limit to hear our conversation.” I replied, this is my confidence in my own spiritual awareness.
We stared at the mountains on both sides, and our respective people and horses saw that something was wrong with Xiao Chengqian and me, and quickly gathered around us.
“They’re coming,” I said simply. If I still couldn’t associate the ghost head with the evil cult, I would be stupid.
“Give me your opinion.” This is what Xiao Chengqian said to me.
“Let’s join forces for now. No matter who the final owner of the Great Demon’s soul is, we can’t let the evil cultivators get it. It’s more convenient to snatch it from my hands than from theirs, right?” I said very directly. What Xiao Chengqian wanted was just a joint attitude.
“Chen Chengyi, you weren’t so good at talking before, but you were much more impulsive.” Xiao Chengqian suddenly smiled and said.
“The same goes for you. You used to be a hothead compared to Lin Chen.” I was also telling the truth. Lin Chen was obviously more scheming.
It’s just that time makes people grow. It would be strange if Xiao Chengqian didn’t mature quickly under the internal strife of the organization.
We were talking ‘casually’, but at that moment, a group of people finally appeared on the hill over there, and they didn’t come down, just staring at us.
Wu Laogui floated in front of me and whispered to me, “Chengyi, that’s them. I didn’t see the others that day, but the one standing in the middle, wearing a blue jacket, was there that day. He was very powerful. I knew him before I left that sect. He was almost the first person among the younger generation of that sect.”
I nodded without saying anything, because at this time, I discovered that Silly Tiger had woken up, and there was a wave of angry hostility that kept roaring inside me. I didn’t understand why Silly Tiger was so angry, and kept conveying to me that he wanted to get started, so I didn’t have time to answer Wu Lao Gui’s words.
At this time, Xiao Chengqian whispered in my ear, “Chengyi, I have to admit that you are a little better than me. The one in blue, do you see him? His name is He Long. He is very famous in the Ming and Yan organizations. He is one of the top young people in the evil cult, and he is the most competitive and greedy person. He is very vain. After you made a big splash at the Ghost Market last time, he said that he would fight you when he had time.
I didn’t know that the things I did at the Ghost Market had caused so many chain reactions, but a fight? Who’s afraid of who?
Although there has always been a saying among Taoist cultivators that in terms of the stability of the mind and the progress of the cultivation method, those who practice evil cultivation methods are definitely not as good as those who practice the correct method, but in terms of the means of fighting, those who practice the correct method are not as good as those who practice evil. They can only rely on their power to suppress!
This statement is reasonable and well-founded! The righteous people themselves only value their skills, not their techniques, and they are quite cautious in their actions, but the evil cultivators have no scruples and use all means possible, so it is normal for them to be powerful in their fighting skills.
Unfortunately, we have the most secret techniques in the Li family, and we really aren’t afraid of evil cultivation.
I didn’t speak to Xiao Chengqian, but the people on the other side all stopped moving on the hilltop. The man in the blue clothes dismounted, and we couldn’t see his expression clearly, but the next moment his somewhat sharp and evil voice entered Xiao Chengqian and my ears: “Oh, Xiao Chengqian, you poor young master is ahead of the game. It’s no wonder you are. Your status is not as good as before. If you don’t compete to make a contribution, how can you be good? You agree, right? However, it is useless to rush to make a contribution, because even if you are a centrist or a fence-sitter, not a member of our secret organization, you still have to speak with your fists, right? Whoever has the biggest fists, of course, has the right to speak. You are not as good as Lin Chen, hehehe…”
At first, when this He Long spoke, his voice was a little bit high-pitched and insidious, which I could still accept. After all, he was a cultivator of evil, and his character was easily distorted, which was normal in all aspects. But when he smiled, I couldn’t help but get goosebumps.
The voice was even more “charming” than a woman’s. Although it was far away, I clearly saw that he actually reached out with one hand and pretended to cover his mouth, with his fingers curled up like an orchid.
I really wanted to ask Xiao Chengqian what was going on with this He Long, but at this moment, Xiao Chengqian had already clenched his fists, but still looked calm, and responded, “Put away your orchid finger. No matter how you pretend to be feminine, you’re not really a woman , and besides, the organization’s affairs will not be easily swayed by outsiders like you. No matter how Lin Chen and I are, we are all members of the organization. Whether he or I is in a higher position, we are both working for the organization. How can we take care of a delicate man like you?
A delicate man? I couldn’t help but burst out laughing, but I also admired him. Sure enough, Xiao Chengqian is much more mature and calm. He didn’t even flinch when He Long deliberately provoked him.
After all, there will definitely be a fight later, and being able to make the other person angry will give you some advantage in the battle!
“What did you say?” He Long’s voice suddenly became angry, and it became even more shrill. He wanted to provoke Xiao Chengqian’s anger, but he himself became angry first.
The next moment, He Long recited a very broken spell, and with a hand gesture, seven or eight ghost heads immediately appeared from his body and surrounded him.
These ghost heads were extraordinary, all filled with a cold and evil aura, and even the sky on that side seemed to be darkening, as if night was about to fall.
Seeing this, Brother Chengxin narrowed his eyes, and my expression also became solemn. He Long was definitely not simple to be able to cultivate such a powerful ghost.
Right, I can’t underestimate you just because you’re a delicate man!
