Chapter 206 - 146: The Death of Xu Bai, the Powerful Effect of Gluttonous Belly! _2
This person was the Second Elder of the Supreme Mystery Sect, his cultivation was unfathomable.
Chief Mu nodded: “Xu Bai has followed him for more than 20 years, though they were master and disciple, they were more like father and son, such deep affection, it’s understandable that he’s unable to accept it all at once.”
“Indeed!” The Second Elder slowly said: “The bond between master and disciple can even be deeper than that of father and son. I hope Junior Lu can soon move on from the pain of Xu Bai’s demise.”
Nie Xuan also said: “If revenge can be taken for Xu Bai, I believe it would make things much better!”
Chief Mu said: “To take revenge for Xu Bai, under the current circumstances, only Jiang Yuan might have a shot!”
“Once someone from the Divine Bridge Realm goes there, that unknown entity will hide, and we won’t be able to detect any anomaly.”
“Only when someone from the Spiritual Sea Realm goes there, will he show up!”
“Exactly!” Nie Xuan nodded as well.
Jiang Yuan’s Mansion.
As soon as Lu Qingshan came here, he could feel the spiritual energy of Jiang Yuan’s cultivation.
After pondering for a moment, he did not go in, but headed to the front gate instead.
He knocked a few times.
Shu Xiaoxiao, who was in cultivation, heard the knocking and promptly came to open the gate.
“Pleasure to meet you, senior!” Shu Xiaoxiao said.
She then said: “Young Master is in the middle of his practice!”
“I know!” Lu Qingshan nodded: “But I have a very important matter to discuss with him.”
At this moment, Jiang Yuan also sensed something abnormal at the front yard.
He slowly stopped his practice and said: “Sect Leader, please come in!”
After his words, Jiang Yuan also appeared in the front yard.
“I apologize for interrupting your cultivation!” Lu Qingshan said with slight regret.
He paused and then continued: “However, there’s something that requires your help!”
Jiang Yuan replied: “Take a seat and let’s talk!”
As they sat down in the pavilion, Shu Xiaoxiao was quick to pour them a full cup of tea each.
After taking a sip, Jiang Yuan said: “Sect Leader, feel free to speak directly. If there’s anything I can help with, I’d be more than willing to offer my assistance!”
“Good!” In response, Lu Qingshan finally managed to show a hint of a smile.
He took a couple of sips of his tea, organized his thoughts, and then announced: “Xu Bai has fallen!”
“What!” Jiang Yuan was startled, looking at Lu Qingshan in disbelief.
With a pained expression, Lu Qingshan said: “I still don’t know who killed him!”
“What happened?” Jiang Yuan promptly asked.
“Take a look at this! It’s a document that the Deacon Hall submitted over a dozen days ago.” He conjured the scroll files from his hand over to Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuanquickly took it, and his gaze swept over it.
His eyes immediately narrowed.
After a moment, he exhaled a cloudy breath.
“Sect Leader, what happened next?”
Lu Qingshan said: “After the loss of two disciples who had just broken their meridians, I sent the Fourth Elder to investigate, but he came back with no clues! We initially thought that the unknown entity had vanished, and we just considered ourselves as being out of luck!”
“But who would’ve thought that soon after the Fourth Elder came back, we received more bad news that many villagers from numerous villages had all disappeared overnight.”
“So, considering the unknown entity didn’t dare to show up when the Divine Bridge Realm Fourth Elder was there, we sent Xu Bai who was only in the fifth level of Spiritual Sea Realm. But he had understood two laws which made his combat power equivalent to the eighth level of the Spiritual Sea Realm!”
“Nevertheless, even Xu Bai couldn’t return alive. I went to retrieve his body a few days ago and found clear signs of an intense battle. This proves that the enemy didn’t completely crush him. Regardless, under these circumstances, Xiao Bai had his small movement charm which should’ve been used but wasn’t. I dug up the ground three feet deep in search of clues but found none!”
After hearing what Lu Qingshan had to say, Jiang Yuan finally understood.
That unknown being’s cultivation should be below the Divine Bridge Realm, around the ninth level of the Spiritual Sea Realm.
He had a treasure that can hide his aura and appearance, could detect the arrival of a Divine Bridge Realm cultivator in advance, and could also suppress the space, rendering the small movement charm useless.
Looking at it this way, the situation is indeed troublesome.
Every time a strong cultivator goes there, the entity hides. If a weaker one goes, they get killed.
No wonder Lu Qingshan has come to seek his help, as he will surely lure out that entity with his current cultivation level.
Jiang Yuan pondered for a while and then slowly said, “Sect Leader, I will take this mission, but I will need another 15 days.”
“Do you plan to break through in these 15 days?” Lu Qingshan looked at Jiang Yuan and asked.
“Yes!” Jiang Yuan nodded, his eyes gleaming.
“In that case, take these.” he waved his hand and three bottles of Lingering Pills appeared in front of Jiang Yuan.
He then said: “These three bottles of pills were originally prepared for Xu Bai, but now that he has no chance to use them!”
Jiang Yuan took them and said: “Sect Leader, rest assured, if that unknown entity doesn’t flee within half a month, I will surely avenge Senior Brother Xu Bai!”
With these three bottles of Lingering Pills, Jiang Yuan had more confidence in breaking through within half a month.
Initially, relying on the Spirit Gathering Array, he predicted he would require a month to break through the sixth realm of the Spiritual Sea.
If he wants to break through in half a month, he would need to rely on his recently developed Innate Qi Movement, Gluttinous Belly.
He needed to absorb and refine spiritual energy externally, while consuming spiritual stones and medicinal pills internally for absorption.
With such a two-pronged method, his speed of filling up the Spiritual Sea would be much faster.
Hearing Jiang Yuan’s words, Lu Qingshan immediately nodded: “Alright! You go and cultivate, I’ll guard for you here.”
Jiang Yuan also nodded. He could tell that Lu Qingshan was in a hurry. Since his direct disciple Xu Bai had died unjustly, he surely wished to take revenge for his disciple immediately.
