Chapter 245: Chapter 231: So Many Black Shadow Demon Cultivators
The fierce battle between the Black Shadow Demon Cultivator and Yang Chanyu caused explosions that sounded like thunder, waking up the entire Fire Persimmon Immortal City.
Unexpectedly, this fight suddenly broke out, drawing the entire Fire Persimmon Immortal City into the battlefield.
Tonight was destined to be a night of intense turbulence.
Fei Si was still handling official duties at his desk when it all started.
Upon hearing the news, he immediately grabbed the seal on his desk, infused it with mana, activated part of the City Protecting Great Array's power, and observed the battle.
He even reviewed the earlier battle scene once more.
Fei Si squinted, his eyes flashing with glints of sharp insight. From Yang Chanyu's appearance to her subsequent actions, he smelled a strong sense of conspiracy.
Quick to react, he immediately ordered the activation of the entire City Lord's Mansion's defensive array to its maximum power.
He then sent someone to report to Meng Kui about this emergency.
Finally, he issued a command to contact the City Guard Army, gathering everyone in the City Lord's Mansion, instructing them not to act rashly.
The situation was unclear, and he needed to see things clearly before taking action.
Yang Chanyu suddenly appeared near the City Lord's Mansion, carrying the Demon Sect True Scripture.
This Demon Sect True Scripture had been the key treasure fiercely discussed by everyone in the city recently.
Yang Chanyu was being pursued and attacked by the Black Shadow Demon Cultivator, who deliberately revealed that she had the Demon Sect True Scripture. It made it seem as if Yang Chanyu had just stolen the True Scripture from the City Lord's Mansion and was intercepted halfway by the Black Shadow Demon Cultivator.
“This is clearly a frame-up!” Fei Si remained expressionless.
He silently reminded himself, “The enemy is in the dark while we are in the light. They have plotted all kinds of schemes, and it's impossible they haven't calculated our response.”
“Therefore, we mustn't act hastily to avoid falling into their trap.”
Fei Si had just finalized his strategy when he heard a familiar roar.
“Black Shadow Demon Cultivator, you finally show yourself. This time, let's see where you run!”
A short, middle-aged man with one blind eye and bulging muscles, looking like a stone pillar, leapt into the sky and charged fiercely at the Black Shadow Demon Cultivator.
The newcomer was none other than Chi Dun, Meng Kui's right-hand man.
Fei Si's vision darkened, and he gritted his teeth in anger: “This reckless brute!”
Chi Dun came with fierce momentum.
He had no interest in the Demon Sect True Scripture and focused all his energy on attacking the Black Shadow Demon Cultivator.
The Black Shadow Demon Cultivator was none other than Sun Lingtong in disguise.
Seeing Chi Dun as a Golden Core Cultivator madly pursuing him, seemingly wanting to tear him apart, even Sun Lingtong felt enormous psychological pressure.
“What's going on?”
Elsewhere, at Ning Zhuo's place.
Zheng Shuanggou and Zhou Nongying were hiding, communicating through sound transmission.
Tonight it was their turn to guard Ning Zhuo in pairs.
Neither of them acted hastily.
After exchanging information, they worried this might be the enemy's plot, trying to lure them out and create defensive gaps around Ning Zhuo.
Boom!
Seeing Chi Dun about to catch up with him, Sun Lingtong, disguised as the Black Shadow Demon Cultivator, hurriedly pulled out a bottle of elixir pills and smashed it to the ground.
Immediately, the black powder turned into a large cloud of black smoke, quickly spreading and obscuring everyone's vision.
Chi Dun did not hesitate for a moment, charging directly into the dense smoke like a wild bull.
Near Ning Zhuo's place.
“Is that the Black Shadow Demon Cultivator?” Zhou Nongying asked.
Zheng Shuanggou frowned deeply, using his detection spell, fully investigating the rapidly spreading black smoke: “It's hard to say, this black smoke is deceptive.”
While speaking, he took out his signature weapon–Sun and Moon Dual Hooks–holding them in both hands.
Seeing his companion eager to join the fight, Zhou Nongying quickly stopped him: “Hold your horses, we have to wait until Lord Zhu Xuanji and the other Golden Cores arrive before making a move.”
“Since you can't be sure, this Black Shadow Demon Cultivator may not be real. It could likely be Fei Si's trick!”
Previously, Yang Chanyu had unexpectedly attacked Ning Zhuo.
After that incident, Zhu Xuanji and others discussed the possibility that Yang Chanyu was hired by Fei Si, colluding with the City Lord's Mansion.
If that were the case, the battle between Yang Chanyu and the Black Shadow Demon Cultivator now would be a staged act by the City Lord's Mansion, spreading a third layer of rumors specifically to deal with Zhu Xuanji's side.
The intent was probably–since everyone was suspecting our City Lord's Mansion of having the Demon Sect True Scripture, now we stage a show where the True Scripture gets taken by someone else, thereby proving we no longer have it.
Boom, boom, boom!
In the depths of the rapidly spreading black smoke came a series of terrifying explosions.
Apparently, inside the black smoke, Yang Chanyu and the Black Shadow Demon Cultivator engaged in a more intense showdown.
Yang Chanyu let out a cold snort, seemingly taking a serious hit, and shouted, “Black Shadow Demon Cultivator, I'll remember this! Since you want this True Scripture so badly, go ahead and take it.”
With that, everyone saw a beam of pink light shoot out from the dense black smoke.
The pink light contained a stone slab.
Soon after, the Black Shadow Demon Cultivator suddenly burst out of the black smoke, flying with all his might toward the Demon Sect True Scripture.
At that moment, all the Golden Core Cultivators watching were deeply shaken.
Who wouldn't want to obtain the Demon Sect True Scripture?
Even though they were already Golden Cores and couldn't switch cultivation techniques, this True Scripture involved the Magma Fairy Palace and the Three Superior Sect Techniques, making it invaluable.
Even if they couldn't use it, contributing it to other factions or trading it would surely yield enormous benefits.
For a moment, everyone's attention was drawn to the Demon Sect True Scripture shooting through the air.
The Demon Sect True Scripture drew a long arc in the sky over Fire Persimmon Immortal City, falling towards a specific corner.
That corner happened to be near Ning Zhuo's home.
This made both Zhou Nongying and the already eager Zheng Shuanggou feel something unusual.
“This is probably the City Lord's Mansion's scheme.” Zhou Nongying secretly warned, “Brother Zheng, hurry and take this True Transmission away to prevent any chaos and to stop the battle from coming here and endangering Ning Zhuo's life.”
Zheng Shuanggou then shot into the sky, dual hooks in hand, heading straight for the Demon Sect True Scripture.
Inside a nearby house.
The Taiqing Palace True Inheritance Golden Core Disciple felt a violent urge.
He had been lurking around Ning Zhuo's residence for some time.
Recently, he had been investigating the source of the rumors and eyeing the Demon Sect True Scripture.
The Taiqing Palace True Inheritance Golden Core Disciple figured that getting the True Scripture would greatly benefit his quest for the Magma Fairy Palace!
Even if he couldn't get the Magma Fairy Palace, the Demon Sect True Scripture would still hold great value to him.
Whether to nurture his own faction or to contribute to Taiqing Palace, it was greatly beneficial.
So, when he saw the Demon Sect True Scripture fly near, he immediately felt a strong urge to seize it.
He quickly took out a set of black clothes from his storage wristband.
“Good thing I prepared in advance.”
If Ning Zhuo, Zheng Shuanggou, and Chi Dun were here, they would have realized: these black clothes were eerily similar to those worn by the Black Shadow Demon Cultivator.
It turned out that the Taiqing Palace True Inheritance had many actions constrained by his Righteous Path identity.
Upon learning about the Black Shadow Demon Cultivator, he immediately started making these clothes.
After all, what did the good deeds of the Black Shadow Demon Cultivator have to do with me, a Taiqing Palace True Inheritance?
Zheng Shuanggou flew straight toward the approaching Demon Sect True Scripture, reaching out to grab it.
A black figure suddenly collided with him.
Boom!
Zheng Shuanggou wielded a single hook, delivering a fierce blow.
He and the Black Shadow Demon Cultivator – Taiqing Palace True Inheritance clashed, both stepping back, and the shockwave sent the Demon Sect True Scripture flying into the air.
“How is there another Black Shadow Demon Cultivator?!” Zheng Shuanggou was shocked.
The Taiqing Palace Golden Core True Inheritance landed, quickly regained his bearings, and shot into the sky.
With a casual wave, he conjured a massive hand with mana to grab the falling Demon Sect True Scripture.
“Not so fast!” This time, it was Zheng Shuanggou who intercepted the Taiqing Palace True Inheritance.
He shattered the mana hand with a single hook.
The Black Shadow Demon Cultivator – Sun Lingtong, was also heading for the Demon Sect True Scripture, but from a farther distance.
Chi Dun was closely following, eyes locked on him.
Sun Lingtong was frustrated: “Chi Dun, this brute, is completely brainless. The Demon Sect True Scripture is right there, but he insists on targeting me.”
Sun Lingtong glanced at the battlefield, puzzled by the appearance of a second Black Shadow Demon Cultivator.
Chi Dun's thinking was straightforward: “I don't care who the real Black Shadow Demon Cultivator is. I'll just catch the nearest one and beat him up.”
Sun Lingtong exerted all his strength, weaving through the buildings of the Fire Persimmon Immortal City to hinder Chi Dun's pursuit.
Being part of the City Lord's Mansion, Chi Dun couldn't act recklessly, causing Sun Lingtong to delay him for quite some time.
Zheng Shuanggou and the Black Shadow Demon Cultivator – Taiqing Palace True Inheritance fought fiercely.
As Sun Lingtong neared, Yang Chanyu suddenly appeared in a flash, directly at the spot where the Demon Sect True Scripture was.
Yang Chanyu grabbed the Demon Sect True Scripture again, smiling elegantly.
With the True Scripture in hand, she attempted to slip through the Immortal City's array's gap and escape via a hidden passage.
A beam of golden light suddenly shone down!
Yang Chanyu was enveloped in the golden light, her speed drastically reducing.
Within the golden light appeared Zhu Xuanji, descending from the sky.
Yang Chanyu tried her old trick: “If you want the Demon Sect True Scripture, take it!”
This time, she tossed the True Scripture directly to the Black Shadow Demon Cultivator – Taiqing Palace Golden Core True Inheritance.
But Zhu Xuanji paid no attention to the True Scripture and continued to charge directly at Yang Chanyu.
Unable to enter the hidden passage in time, Yang Chanyu was forced to change direction, fleeing while casting spells to attack Zhu Xuanji.
The Black Shadow Demon Cultivator – Taiqing Palace True Inheritance was caught off guard by this sudden “good fortune”!
Stepping back slightly, he grasped the True Scripture in his hands.
Upon touching the True Scripture, he felt he had comprehended many cultivation techniques' principles.
“Demon-infused Bloodline Technique!” The Taiqing Palace True Inheritance's eyes widened in delight.
He was now certain this was an authentic Demon Sect True Scripture!
