The man was wildly ambitious, eager to build a name for himself.
So whenever he was tangled up with the experts from the Celestial Fragrance Pavilion, Chu Lingguang would thrust out his spear at critical moments, discreetly assisting Hu Yanlin in killing their opponents.
Hu Yanlin didn’t understand why Chu Lingguang was doing this. ’Does he want to resolve our grudge? To compensate me for my losses?’
If so, he could accept that.
And so, he went along with it.
With Chu Lingguang’s help, he went on a rampage, chasing down and slaughtering the assassins from the Celestial Fragrance Pavilion, much to the amazement of his colleagues from the Demon Suppression Bureau.
Eventually, one of the top experts from the Celestial Fragrance Pavilion threw caution to the wind and charged straight for Yang Lijun.
He Mingxuan tried to block his path, but the expert still broke through.
THWACK!
The man struck Yang Lijun in the center of her back, snapping the strap of the wooden box. He snatched the box and fled deep into the dense forest.
"Where do you think you’re going?"
He Mingxuan gave chase.
Of course, Chu Lingguang couldn’t allow a heart capable of awakening all corresponding powers to fall into the hands of the Celestial Fragrance Pavilion.
SWOOSH!
But just then, a Sword Shadow shot out from behind them.
Chu Lingguang felt a wave of power so intense it made his scalp tingle.
He saw a Sword Shadow that seemed to have a mind of its own. It was not only incredibly fast but also cunning, effortlessly intercepting the expert from the Celestial Fragrance Pavilion.
With a few quick slashes...
The sword light flashed.
And just like that, the leader of the Celestial Fragrance Pavilion—an expert far more powerful than both the Cloud Mist Flood Dragon and the Humanoid Wolf Demon—was slain by the Sword Shadow.
The Sword Shadow also retrieved the wooden box he carried.
It returned to where the group stood.
Chu Lingguang turned and saw a young man who had controlled a White Jade Treasure Sword to kill the Celestial Fragrance Pavilion leader from afar and retrieve the wooden box.
"Telekinesis," He Mingxuan exclaimed in shock.
Chu Lingguang froze. He thought of Mind Power.
Mind Power was a force that originated from the Sea of Consciousness. Only when one’s Sea of Consciousness Power reached a certain level of strength could it evolve into Mind Power, transforming from the intangible to the tangible.
"An expert from Yuanchu Mountain."
This cultivation Skill was unique to Yuanchu Mountain.
Everyone’s thoughts turned to the same place.
"Official Yang."
Mo Shan caught Yang Lijun in his arms.
The Celestial Fragrance Pavilion leader’s palm strike had been too terrifying. Yang Lijun’s Dharma Aspect had shattered, her Qi Power was running rampant, and her internal organs were obliterated. She wasn’t going to make it.
Chu Lingguang sighed.
He had wanted to save Yang Lijun, but the attacker had been too fast. Plus, with the nearby Wolf Demons and other experts keeping him occupied, there was nothing he could do.
SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!
The young man had obtained the wooden box.
He manipulated the White Jade Treasure Sword, killing the remaining Wolf Demons from afar.
Seeing how dire the situation had become, the few remaining experts from the Celestial Fragrance Pavilion tried to flee. But they had barely taken a few steps before the young man’s White Jade Treasure Sword caught up to them, and they were all decapitated.
The expressions on everyone’s faces changed drastically.
The young man’s method of killing from afar was terrifyingly powerful.
It was as if he was from another world entirely.
Even the worldly He Mingxuan looked on with fear in his eyes. He led his subordinates in bowing to the young man from a distance.
Chu Lingguang also adopted a humble posture.
’The man is too strong. Even if I were to awaken the three hundred sixty-three powers of the fourth layer of my Mental Realm, I still might not be his match.’
’Just how powerful must a Sea of Consciousness be to form Mind Power?’
’With Telekinesis that strong, his power must be above the True Martial Realm.’
’This must be one of the legendary Qi Refining Realm experts.’
’He feels so much stronger than Yun Hong.’
’Perhaps he’s also an Inner Sect Disciple from Yuanchu Mountain.’
’As I thought, even Yuanchu Mountain covets a heart capable of awakening all responses. It’s a good thing I didn’t get any funny ideas, or I’d have no choice but to meekly hand over the wooden box.’
’If he sensed I had any ulterior motives, my life would be in danger.’
’In short, this is not someone I can afford to provoke.’
’And Yuanchu Mountain is even less provokable. No matter what, I have to find a way to enter Yuanchu Mountain and cultivate there.’
The young man paid no attention to the crowd.
In his eyes, even Chu Lingguang was just a common mortal. His Sea of Consciousness Power was merely a cut above the average person’s; he was still not worthy of the young man’s notice.
He opened the wooden box in front of everyone.
Chu Lingguang watched with curiosity. What kind of heart could awaken all responses?
However, when the wooden box opened, the contents made the young man’s expression freeze. An all-consuming rage instantly erupted from him, enveloping everyone present in a shroud of terror.
Yang Lijun, who had been on the verge of death, suddenly felt as if her last wisp of soul had been seized. She couldn’t even die.
