Chapter 128: Famous Throughout the Cloud and Mist Mountains, A Fearsome Reputational
Clearly, the Shen family and the other two Foundation Establishment families also recognized the importance of this Golden Core Cave Mansion.
If this news was leaked, they would certainly lose this cave mansion.
Even the Golden Core Sect might intervene personally.
So, they had prepared ahead of time.
Once they seized the treasures inside the Golden Core Cave Mansion, they would retreat and leave the area immediately.
Flee far away.
After all, the world was too vast, and not limited to just this place for
cultivation.
As long as they hid in a place tens of thousands of miles away for cultivation, they could alter their identities.
Start cultivation anew.
Anyway, as long as they’re still alive with the Golden Core inheritance, they can
rise from the ashes.
The resources of a mere Foundation Establishment family were far from as important as the Golden Core inheritance.
-My husband, do you plan to get involved?”
Leng Yuexi asked in curiosity.
-No, let’s not. A Golden Core Cave Mansion is not that simple.”
“Who knows what kind of fallback Wanliu Master has left behind.”
“If we fall into their trap, it will be over.”
-We need not bother with them and should focus on our quiet cultivation.
Zhou Sui had no interest in getting embroiled in this murky situation.
After all, he was only a Qi Cultivation Stage cultivator for now, he had no qualification to lay a finger on the treasures of the Golden Core Cave Mansion.
Even with Leng Yuexi at his back, he didn’t want to take the risk.
Because if anything happened to Leng Yuexi in the Golden Core Cave Mansion, he might not be able to survive in the Yunwu Mountain Range.
There was no need to take risks.
Anyway, the treasures he’s got now are more than enough for his cultivation.
“OK, husband.”
Leng Yuexi naturally obeyed her husband’s words.
She wasn’t very interested in Wanliu Master’s Cave Mansion either. The most important thing for her right now was Core Formation.
Swish swish swish!!!
In no time, Leng Yuexi and the clone of Zhou Sui returned to the cave. They also brought back all the storage bags from the corpses of the Yunwu Four Demons.
After all, these were the lifelong treasures of four Foundation Establishment cultivators, they couldn’t be lost.
The time for reaping the rewards was next.
Of course, opening a Foundation Establishment cultivator’s storage bag was
not such an easy task.
They all left unique restrictions within their storage bags. If an inappropriate method was used, it would trigger the restrictions, causing the storage bag to disintegrate instantly, destroying everything inside.
Fortunately, Zhou Sui had obtained the memories of the four. He knew how to unlock the restrictions, so he could safely deactivate them and obtain the treasures inside.
The next morning.
Soon, the cultivators from the Shen family, Mu family, and Xiao family, the three large Foundation Establishment families, discovered the tragic condition of the Yunwu Four Demons’ camp. They also saw the charred remains of the Yunwu Four Demons.
They were all shocked. They had never expected the infamous Yunwu Four Demons to have been killed like this.
“What happened? Why are our fellow Daoists dead? And the murderer is so ruthless, they even cremated the remains?” A cultivator from the Mu family was dumbstruck, utterly incredulous.
After all, he knew full well how fearsome the Yunwu Four Demons were. A Foundation Establishment cultivator who could escape from the Golden Core Sect and gain a reputation in the Yunwu Mountain Range wouldn’t be that simple.
But now, these Yunwu Four Demons were just dead, without any noise.
They didn’t even struggle, which was frightening.
Because anyone who can kill the Yunwu Four Demons easily can naturally kill them as well.
“There are many Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Yunwu Mountain Range, basically they are all here. I believe none of them would attack each other. We all made a Heart Demon oath to assist each other in breaking the Golden Core Cave Mansion. Could they have encountered a second-stage demon beast and perished?”
A Foundation Establishment cultivator guessed the cause of the Yunwu Four Demons’ death.
“Impossible, the Yunwu Four Demons are sharp-witted. They survived in the Yunwu Mountain Range for so long. A second-stage demon beast couldn’t possibly have ambushed them, let alone prevent them from having a chance to escape. Undoubtedly, only a human cultivator could achieve this.” “The question is, most of the Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Yunwu Mountain Range are here. Who else could have touched them? It couldn’t be that a Golden Core Master took action, could it?”
“Did you forget? Isn’t there a late-stage Foundation Establishment woman cultivator? It was probably her doing it.”
“Really? Is that late-stage Foundation Establishment woman cultivator that powerful? She actually killed the Yunwu Four Demons in a moment’s notice?” “Hehe, don’t underestimate women cultivators. She’s a solitary woman who dares to travel alone, disdaining to join others. This is a display of strength.” “Indeed, the strong are always different, always special. I guess the Yunwu Four Demons set their sights on that woman, intending to kill her and seize her treasure, but unexpectedly they were killed instead, dying on the spot.” “One walks night roads often, it was bound to meet ghosts. The Yunwu Four Demons died a worthy death.”
“I saw earlier that the Yunwu Four Demons were a little abnormal, always staring at that valley, seemingly with malicious intentions. But, they encountered a tough enemy and perished.
The many Foundation Establishment cultivators were engaged in animated discussion, gloating over the tragedy.
Since they were able to cultivate to this realm, they were naturally shrewd. The individuals who could kill the Yunwu Four Demons were only a few in number, making it easy to guess who it was.
Even without evidence, the truth probably wasn’t far off.
Some of those Foundation Establishment cultivators with ulterior motives instantly became solemn. Initially, they had some notions about that mysterious Foundation Establishment female cultivator, but now they had no thoughts about her at all.
instead, they felt a secret sense of relief. Fortunately, the Yunwu Four Demons took the fall for them.
If they had acted, they would have followed in the footsteps of the Yunwu Four Demons.
“This!”
At this moment, the many cultivators of the Shen family looked at each other and saw the panic and shock deep within each other’s hearts.
To tell the truth, they did have some ideas about that cultivator in the valley. After all, so many people had joined the exploration of the Golden Core Cave Mansion, yet only this female Foundation Establishment cultivator had not. This led them to suspect that the female Foundation Establishment cultivator had an ulterior motive. Perhaps she wanted to take advantage of them, waiting for the moment they break open the Golden Core Cave Mansion and then launch a surprise attack.
Thus obtaining the advantage of the fisherman who catches the escaping fish. If they could remove this unstable factor before that, then everyone would be happy.
But who would have thought that this female Foundation Establishment cultivator was so fierce, like a strong dragon crossing the river.
She could even counter-kill the Yunwu Four Demons, demonstrating her formidable combat power.
If she knew that the Shen family was the one stirring up trouble, the Shen family would not fare well either.
Fortunately, they had not intervened in this matter. What they did at most was secretly leak some information and did not participate in the plan to assassinate the female Foundation Establishment cultivator.
So, she couldn’t grab hold of their evidences.
Thinking of this, the cultivators of the Shen family felt somewhat relieved, but also had some regrets.
If they knew earlier that the female establishment cultivator was so terrifying, they wouldn’t dare to provoke her in any circumstances..
