God Sect Cultivators

Over the next three days, Wang Ding and the other three began their journey of harvest, constantly hunting Formed Bone Demons. However, every one of these Formed Bone Demons was a being close to the Qi Gathering level of the Qi Training Realm, so Wang Ding's group only attacked lone individuals each time. The moment they encountered Formed Bone Demons moving in groups, they immediately retreated to a fork in the tunnel and slipped away.

Aside from Formed Bone Demons, there were other creatures in this cavern world, but they were all snakes, insects, rats, ants, and other sinister, venomous things. They were of no use to Wang Ding and the others.

In these three days, Wang Ding's party obtained a full thirty Inner Cores. Among them, Wang Ding had delivered the fatal blow to ten Formed Bone Demons and gained forty merit points for himself alone. However, Wang Ding did not tell the other three that only the person who personally killed a Formed Bone Demon could receive merit.

On the fourth day, Wang Ding and the other three arrived at a fork in the tunnel. Suddenly, Wang Ding stopped. The three behind him were startled and knew something was happening. The four immediately flashed into another cavern and waited with bated breath.

"Tap, tap..." A burst of footsteps came over, followed by the sound of conversation. "Senior Brother Zhang, that Yan Yifei really went too far. Relying on the low-grade spiritual artifact he begged from the true disciple Yun Jingtian, he forcibly occupied the ancient cave residence you discovered. Once we get out this time, we must tell Senior Brother Liu Zhentian. Yan Yifei has a true disciple backing him, but so do we. We'll definitely make him give us justice."

At this moment, another voice sounded. "Junior Brother Song, you worry too much. How could Senior Brother Zhang Wenhua swallow this insult for nothing? Senior Brother Zhang long ago borrowed a low-grade spiritual artifact, the Junhua Sword, from Senior Brother Liu Zhentian precisely to prevent something like this from happening. Senior Brother Zhang's retreat now is merely using Yan Yifei as a spear. When Yan Yifei and his men break through the cave residence, they will certainly suffer losses. At that time, we'll wheel the horse back and strike, seizing the treasures within the cave residence in one move. Yan Yifei will only be able to watch helplessly. Even if he returns to the sect, he won't have the face to go around spreading his own disgrace."

Only then did Junior Brother Song come to a sudden realization. "Brilliant, truly brilliant. I never imagined Senior Brother Zhang had everything planned out from the start. Let's see how that Yan Yifei acts arrogant this time."

Wang Ding and the other three hid in the other tunnel without moving an inch. Only after those three had gone far away did Wang Ding say softly to the others, "You three, this is a good opportunity. I have an idea. We'll quietly follow behind them, wait until both sides are wounded, then make our move and clean up the mess in one stroke. How about seizing the treasure?"

Huang Tutian's face flushed red as he said, "As the saying goes, if Heaven gives and you do not take, you will suffer its harm instead. I'm in."

Long Lingyu and Dongfang Riyue were both from great clans as well, and both were decisive in killing and battle. They had no such thing as a woman's soft-hearted mercy. At this moment, Long Lingyu completely changed from her usual charming and adorable appearance. Her face was filled with excitement, like a little demoness who feared the world was not chaotic enough, and she cried eagerly, "I'm in! It's been ages since anything this interesting happened."

Seeing Long Lingyu so different from usual, Dongfang Riyue was instantly dazzled, and he followed, "I'm in too."

Wang Ding and the other three carefully hid within the cavern, quietly waiting for those three to return. Two hours later, the three came back and entered the tunnel they had come from. Wang Ding's group began to move, trailing the three from far behind as they advanced with extreme caution.

About two hours later, the three in front stopped, and Wang Ding's party also carefully hid far behind them.

"Boom, boom." At this moment, continuous explosions and rumbles came over. It seemed Yan Yifei and the others were currently attacking the restrictions inside the cave residence.

"Senior Brother Yan Yifei, this restriction is about to open. This is truly a heaven-sent benefit. Zhang Wenhua entered a mountain of treasure yet returned empty-handed, letting us profit instead. It seems the destined person for this cave residence should have been Senior Brother Yan Yifei all along."

At this moment, an arrogant voice rang out. "What does Zhang Wenhua count for? How could he compare to our noble status? He's nothing but the bastard son of an aristocratic family. If we were still in the mortal world, I would have dragged him out long ago and humiliated him properly before killing him. Does he think that by currying favor with Liu Zhentian, he can challenge me? That Liu Zhentian merely sits at the very end among those honored at my God Sect's Star God Peak. How could he compare to Senior Brother Yun Jingtian, the number one expert of my God Sect's younger generation, and a scion of palace nobility like us?"

At this moment, another person said, "Exactly. Senior Brother Yun Jingtian said that once he inherits the position of sect master, he will reform the sect. From then on, only the children of palace nobility will be accepted as disciples of our God Sect. How could those lowborn wretches be qualified to enjoy immortality? Only we, born noble, have that right. To think Zhang Wenhua is nothing more than the bastard son of a tiny aristocratic family, yet now he actually sits as an equal with us. I simply cannot endure it."

As the three spoke, they continued attacking the cave residence's restrictions. Under the bombardment of their remotely controlled Magic Tools, the restrictions of the cave residence flickered with light from time to time. As time gradually passed, the protection of the cave residence's restrictions grew weaker and weaker. "Boom!" Under the continuous attacks of Yan Yifei and the other two, the restrictions shattered in response.

"Senior Brother Yan, it's broken!"

"Hahaha, good! Heaven's mandate is with me. Let's hurry inside and take the treasures. After taking out the supreme treasure inside the cave, we will only keep that supreme treasure. The rest will all be offered to the sect. Once we return to the sect, we'll accuse Zhang Wenhua of attempting to seize a fellow disciple's treasure. With the treasure from this cave as evidence, and with Senior Brother Yun Jingtian invited to mediate, when the time comes, I guarantee Zhang Wenhua will die on the execution platform, sliced to pieces by a thousand cuts," Yan Yifei said with a savage expression.

One of the people beside Yan Yifei suddenly said, "Senior Brother Yan, are we really handing the treasures over to the sect?"

"Heh. If we hand them over to the sect, do you think the sect will really take them for nothing? At that time, in order to put on a show for the many sect disciples, they will definitely return the original items to us as rewards."

"So that's how it is. Senior Brother Yan is truly meticulous and leaves no plan unaccounted for. This way, we can obtain the treasure and also get rid of that brat Zhang Wenhua. It really is a method that achieves two ends at once."

As he spoke, Yan Yifei and the other two lifted their feet and walked toward the cave residence. Just then, a sinister voice rang out. "Yan Yifei, aren't you rattling your abacus a little too loudly?"

The instant the words fell, a terrifying Sword Qi came slashing toward Yan Yifei. It was Zhang Wenhua and the other two, who had been hiding in the distance. Originally, Zhang Wenhua had only planned to seize the treasures in the cave and properly humiliate Yan Yifei.

Who would have known that when he heard Yan Yifei was so vicious, intending to frame him, rage would rise from his heart and evil would be born at the edge of his courage. Since one did not do it, one might as well do it thoroughly. He was going to cut Yan Yifei down on the spot.

When Yan Yifei saw that terrifying Sword Qi slashing toward him, how would he dare be negligent? He directly summoned the spiritual artifact he had borrowed from Yun Jingtian, the Heavenly Fire Bead, and smashed it toward the Sword Qi.

In an instant, the Heavenly Fire Bead released streak after streak of raging flame, blasting into the Sword Qi and scattering it directly. However, this was nothing but Zhang Wenhua's feint. The true killing move was the Junhua Sword itself behind the Sword Qi.

Zhang Wenhua knew Yan Yifei possessed a spiritual artifact, and that it was impossible for him to kill Yan Yifei in one strike. Therefore, he used the strategy of openly repairing the plank road while secretly crossing at Chencang: first using the Junhua Sword's Sword Qi in a sneak attack to draw Yan Yifei's attention, then directly using the body of the Junhua Sword to kill him.
