Chapter 17: Clinging to Senior Sister's Thigh

It was as if that person was unlucky. If both sides had three people and fought head-on, with the powerful magic artifact in his hand and superior cultivation, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he would have the advantage, or at least the fight would be evenly matched. I{•------» «------•}I Unfortunately, this person was not old. In his youth and success, he was a bit too arrogant, boastful, and lacked vigilance. Before he could even unleash half his strength, he was successfully ambushed by a ghost soldier, who decapitated him with a single strike.

At the second level of Qi Refining, even after undergoing the second Marrow Cleansing and Hair Washing, the human body's natural defense is far inferior to that of demonic beasts. The reason human cultivators can suppress demonic beasts and other异修 (yi xiu -异类修行者, cultivators of other species/types) is because they are good at using tools. After the ghost soldier cast Bloodthirsty Art, a single strike could wound a Giant Snake to the bone, let alone the neck of a mere human cultivator at the second level of Qi Refining.

As the arrogant young man's head flew upwards, Chen Ge and Wei Hua revealed ferocious and cruel smiles. One began casting Netherflame Bullet, while the other cast Profound Yin Shield on himself. While directing the small sword to shoot, they charged forward. After Lei Dong's successful strike, he immediately drove the ghost soldier to attack the female disciple from Extreme Yin Cave next to him.

That female disciple also had the strength of the first level of Qi Refining, but under the ghost soldier's aura of a killing blow, she was somewhat intimidated before the fight even began. Her face turned pale, and in her panic, she clumsily controlled her Ink Green Small Sword to meet the enemy. The other male disciple, in utter shock, immediately chose to flee. He hadn't run a few steps before Wei Hua's green sword pierced his calf. Immediately after, Chen Ge's Netherflame Bullet almost blew him into several pieces.

Whoosh~ Lei Dong's Ink Green Small Sword also arrived abruptly. 6̶9̶s̶h̶u̶x̶.̶c̶o̶m̶ While the female disciple was struggling to deal with the ferocious ghost soldier, he mercilessly cut her throat with the sword.

The entire process took less than a few breaths. However, it was filled with countless dangers. Especially that guy at the second level of Qi Refining, he should be a core disciple of Extreme Yin Cave. If he had fully unleashed his combat power, it was hard to say who would have won. The three unfortunate brothers, all sweating profusely, looked at each other, seeing a hint of paleness on each other's faces. When they were decisively killing, they didn't feel much, but once it was over, they all felt a lingering fear. Of course, this was also because the three opponents were all novices with insufficient experience. After being ambushed, their minds were in disarray. In their haste, they didn't even cast any spells.

Although everyone had completed missions and killed demonic beasts before, killing people with spells was a first for them. Fortunately, all three were people with relatively firm Mental Fortitude. Knowing that things had come to this, the remaining task was how to deal with the aftermath.

The three divided their labor and began to search the belongings of these three people. The male and female were clearly poor. Besides some magic artifacts and items issued by the sect, they only found two spirit stones and four bottles of Lesser Vitality Pills. As for the guy at the second level of Qi Refining who was decapitated, his Storage Bag contained only three spirit stones and five bottles of Lesser Vitality Pills, and was otherwise empty. However, the flying sword magic artifact in his hand, called Fire Cloud Sword, was extremely extraordinary. The scorching fire aura emanating from it was far beyond what the Ink Green Small Sword, a novice's trash, could compare to.

After Chen Ge inspected it again, he said with great joy, "We've struck it rich this time. This guy probably hasn't had this flying sword for long, and it's not deeply refined. As long as we put in some effort, we can erase his imprint before long."

"We'll talk about it when we get back," Lei Dong knew that it was not advisable to stay here for long. He quickly drove the ghost soldier to devour the flesh and blood of the three Extreme Yin Cave people. After the ghost soldier became more agile with satisfaction, the three immediately set off.

They didn't take the Yangguan Avenue, but instead chose small paths and traveled at the fastest speed. The arduous journey was without incident. Although they were disheveled, they returned to Myriad Ghost Cave unharmed. As soon as they returned to Myriad Ghost Cave, the three dared not delay, They went everywhere, praying to gods and buddhas, requesting an audience with Myriad Ghost Ancestor. Unfortunately, not only did no one agree to notify the Ancestor, but they also drew a round of ridicule. They said that ordinary disciples at the first level of Qi Refining had no right to request an audience with the Ancestor?

But at this time, it concerned their lives and property. The three had no choice but to brace themselves and visit Zuo Chao, who was only six or seven years old. This was because Zuo Chao was not only a direct disciple of Myriad Ghost Ancestor but was also quite favored by him. Most importantly, he was still a child, so perhaps a few coaxing words could achieve their goal. Who knew that they would still be blocked by the extremely indifferent Servants who specifically served him. They said Zuo Chao was in Closed Door Cultivation, attempting to break through to the third level of Qi Refining and was not seeing guests.

Even though Chen Ge said all sorts of nice things and even offered spirit stones as bribes, the Servants dared not disturb Zuo Chao's Closed Door Cultivation breakthrough.

Helpless, the three brothers discussed it and decided to ask Ding Wanyan for help. As for whether Senior Sister Ding would agree to see them, the three had no confidence at all. They had never interacted with the high and mighty Ding Wanyan before.

With some trepidation, they found the entrance to Ding Wanyan's room. Fortunately, Ding Wanyan was no longer a child like Zuo Chao and didn't need someone to serve her. Even with Chen Ge's experience, he was still uneasy and hesitant at this moment. Lei Dong took the initiative and stepped forward to press the visitation function on the Gatehouse Restriction.

However, after a long while, there was no response. They didn't know if Ding Wanyan was in Closed Door Cultivation or simply not at home. Lei Dong, unwilling to give up, pressed it twice more and waited for a while, but there was still no reaction. The three looked at each other. Did they really have to ask Zhou Minghua, with whom they had a feud? Just as the three were about to leave dejectedly, they saw a slight change in the Gatehouse Restriction, and a slightly cold voice came to their ears: "May I ask who it is?"

"Junior Brother Lei Dong, and Chen Ge, Wei Hua. We have an urgent matter and wish to see Senior Sister Ding. We hope Senior Sister will grant us permission." Hearing Ding Wanyan's voice, they were overjoyed as if hearing heavenly music. They quickly replied in a deep, respectful voice.

"Lei Dong?" Ding Wanyan murmured softly, as if trying to recall who these people were. However, after a slight hesitation, she still opened the door. Her demeanor was pure and serene, neither happy nor angry. She stood at the doorway, with no intention of inviting them in.

"Lei Dong greets Senior Sister Ding." Now that they were asking for a favor, Lei Dong was exceptionally humble, his demeanor filled with respect. There was no sign of any awkwardness despite Ding Wanyan being two years younger than him. Chen Ge and Wei Hua also hurried forward to pay their respects.

Seeing that the three of them looked somewhat disheveled and exuded a smell of sweat, Ding Wanyan wrinkled her cute nose and asked, "What important matter do you gentlemen have with me?"

"Senior Sister Ding, the matter is like this." Lei Dong cleared his throat and told the whole story, not hiding anything, not even the transplantation of the nearly hundred-year-old Lingzhi. As Lei Dong spoke, before he even mentioned that they had killed people, Ding Wanyan's originally calm expression became slightly cold: "The people from Extreme Yin Cave have gone too far. Are they bullying us, Myriad Ghost Cave, into having no one? Come, I'll take you to get revenge."

Even though Ding Wanyan had excellent temperament and outstanding aptitude, she was, in fact, just a twelve-year-old young girl. Previously, hearing Lei Dong and the other older disciples respectfully call her Senior Sister made her feel a bit favorably towards them, somewhat accepting these Junior Brothers. Upon hearing half the story, her own Junior Brothers, who were on a mission to dig for Lingzhi, were ambushed and demanded to be searched and robbed. She immediately became angry. Especially since the other party's words seemed extremely disrespectful towards Myriad Ghost Cave, and even Myriad Ghost Ancestor. And Myriad Ghost Ancestor treated her very well, doting on her like his own daughter. Ding Wanyan decided to go and teach that ignorant fellow a profound lesson.

"Senior Sister, please let Junior Brother finish," Lei Dong was slightly moved by Ding Wanyan's protectiveness. But a bitter expression appeared on his lips: "In fact, it's like this. Junior Brother and the others were forced, but we didn't want to surrender. In our desperate resistance, we ended up killing all three disciples from Extreme Yin Cave."

"What?" Ding Wanyan's expression was suddenly shocked. She had initially thought this was just a matter of mutual bullying. However, she never expected that these three seemingly pathetic Junior Brothers had actually killed the other party? Now, things had gotten big...
