Two Realms Shuttle Gate: Don't Call Me a Demon! Chapter 71

Chapter 71: Chapter 69: Departure

“It's too late to regret now; all of you, stay right where you are.”

Seeing that Su Jie and his group remained silent, Lu Feng stroked his white beard, thinking they had been intimidated.

“I thought you had some real strength. To dare call yourself a Heavenly Master with such skills?”

Chen Yun didn't even know where to begin her criticism—a Heavenly Master at the Second Level of Yunling Realm, what a grandiose facade.

She had actually been startled for a moment and had made too much of a small issue.

Gu Weonian couldn't help but snicker and said, “Staying here, he must've grown accustomed to flattery.”

“After all, it's just a small town. It's already remarkable to have Cultivators here.”

Su Jie shook his head. Shaoshan Town was just a small place; those who could stay here were mostly Cultivators with poor talent and resources.

Truly talented and formidable individuals would have long joined various sects or entered into major clans and noble families, or else they would forge their own enterprises. Who would lack such ambition to domineer in a small town?

The current situation made sense. If a place as small as Shaoshan Town could produce Cultivators at the Fourth or Fifth Level of Yunling Realm, Ghost Ridge Palace would have been trampled flat long ago; it wouldn't have stood for so many years.

Those on par with Ghost Ridge Palace Disciples were mostly elite disciples from renowned sects Righteous Sects. A place like Shaoshan Town at best could be considered a breeding ground for Loose Cultivators—lacking talent and resources, a far cry from higher echelons.

Su Jie didn't plan to delay any further and addressed Lu Feng, “If you're sensible, clear the way now, and I can pretend this never happened.”

Lu Feng, with his head held high, thought Su Jie had chickened out and arrogantly said, “You expect to leave after offending our Chu Family? Without kneeling and knocking your head on the ground several times, offering a batch of compensation gifts, I won't be so easy to talk to.”

“Seeking death.”

Chen Yun was very displeased with Lu Feng's disrespect towards Su Jie and immediately charged forward to teach the old man a lesson and vent Su Jie's anger.

“How audacious, a bunch of juniors! Let me teach you how to respect your elders and the way of the Taoist; how dare you be so disrespectful to your seniors,” Lu Feng bellowed when he saw Chen Yun daring to confront him. He angrily clapped his hands together with a swift motion.

Tianyuan Inversion.

Spiritual Power burst forth from Lu Feng's palms, transforming into a surging river.

Unfortunately, due to his inadequate Spiritual Power, the technique lacked force, far from the dominance of a great river and more resembling the gentle flow of a stream. It was shockingly lethal to ordinary people, but against a group of Demon Cultivators, it was nothing more than a futile effort.

Chen Yun took the lead. Without even employing her Ming Sheng Bat, she dispersed the stream of Spiritual Power with her enhanced punches and kicks, then closed in on Lu Feng.

Lu Feng's complexion underwent a drastic change, losing his earlier composure, and he cried out in panic, “Quickly come help me, these people are not easy to handle.”

While calling for help, he struck rapidly with both hands while reciting incantations.

“Behold my Palm Thunder.”

Crack!

Electric currents danced between his fingers, striking out at Chen Yun.

Chen Yun reined in her steed to dodge the Palm Thunder. The sizzling electricity, accompanied by static, grazed the neck of the Horned Scale Horse, causing its mane to stand on end, before her hand landed on the wall beside the street, smashing several bricks and leaving behind a charred handprint.

With that level of power, Lu Feng still had the gall to boast, “Ha ha, you see the might of the Palm Thunder now, do you? Kneel and surrender quickly if you don't want to suffer.”

Su Jie stroked his chin and made a judgment, “His Spiritual Power isn't pure enough! The Cultivation Technique he's practicing is no good.”

At the same Second Level Cultivation of the Yunling Realm, if Su Jie knew the Palm Thunder, its power would be two to three times stronger than the old man's.

“Overestimating oneself.”

Chen Yun pulled out her horsewhip while on horseback, infused it with Spiritual Power, and lashed down fiercely. Timing it perfectly with the arrival of another Palm Thunder, she struck Lu Feng's leg with her whip, sending him tumbling to the ground.

“My leg.”

Lu Feng screamed in agony, clutching his broken thigh. It seemed he hadn't suffered much in his daily life, as such a minor injury had him crying out as if it were life-threatening.

The cultivators following Lu Feng hadn't reacted yet and were just about to come forward to help when they saw their leader being whipped over, followed by the lash of a whip that left them howling like ghosts and wolves.

Even the Chu Family members who came with them were whipped to the ground. In the blink of an eye, the entire scene was overturned by Chen Yun alone.

Although the whip couldn't withstand the continuous use and started breaking inch by inch, it was already enough, as there were no longer any Chu Family members who could stand before her.

“How should these people be dealt with?”

Chen Yun looked towards Su Jie, expecting him to make a decision.

The other disciples did the same, since in their opinion, not only did Su Jie master the White Bone Sky Slaying Sword, he also had a deep friendship with Pei Haibing. In Pei Haibing's absence, the disciples looked to Su Jie for leadership.

“Just loot them and leave.”

Su Jie understood Chen Yun's intention and shook his head.

They had come to purchase supplies, so a fight was normal and no one would delve deeply into it.

If they killed someone, however, things could get out of hand easily; if they attracted the attention of a righteous sect, the repercussions could be severe.

Chen Yun nodded and dismounted to loot a few cultivators of their resources.

But these poor sods really had nothing, with poverty written all over them, hardly possessing any worthwhile cultivation resources.

After all, if they were reduced to being the local landlord's sacrifices in some backwater town, how rich could they be?

“How dare you do this to us? I am a member of the Chu Family. Our family has a powerhouse at the Third Level of Yunling Realm studying under the Purple Mist Sect. If you offend our Chu Family…”

Lu Feng, who was being robbed, cried out more sorrowfully than when his leg broke, desperately clutching his money pouch.

“A big shot at the Third Level of Yunling Realm, huh? It seems your Chu Family isn't good for much apart from boasting, which you seem unrivalled in.”

Chen Yun would not indulge the other party, kicking Lu Feng until he coughed up blood and became listless.

Seeing that Chen Yun meant business, the others obediently offered their money to avoid further beating.

After a thorough plunder, Chen Yun only managed to loot some worthless cultivation materials. Even the elixirs and talismans were defective products sold off due to their flaws. The only thing that caught her eye was five low-grade Spirit Stones.

This was a commonly used cultivation material in the outside world. The Spirit Stones contained abundant natural Spiritual Power, which could speed up one's cultivation. They served a similar purpose and held nearly the same value as Blood Marrow Crystals.

The only difference was that Blood Marrow Crystals were suitable for Demon Path cultivation, while Spirit Stones could be used by both the righteous and demon cultivators.

For this reason, Spirit Stones were the hard currency of Tianyuan World, serving as the general mainstream currency among cultivators.

Chen Yun returned to Su Jie's side, intending to give him the Spirit Stones she had looted.

“Keep them for yourself.”

Su Jie waved his hands, then asked Chen Yun, “Have you advanced to the Fifth Level of Yunling Realm now?”

During the battle, Su Jie noticed that Chen Yun's displayed strength suggested she had possibly broken through to the Fifth Level of Yunling Realm.

“Thanks to the Blood Marrow Crystals last time, my Lifebound poisonous insect made a breakthrough, and as a result, so have I.”

Chen Yun was far from complacent; she originally possessed cultivation at the Yunling Realm Fourth Level, and her Lifebound poisonous insect was the rare Ming Sheng Bat, which was considered talented among the disciples of Ghost Ridge Palace.

Now, over two months later, with the batch of Blood Marrow Crystals provided by Su Jie, her Ming Sheng Bat had advanced to a low-grade poisonous insect, and it was very normal for her to boost her cultivation to the fifth level of Yunling Realm.

Su Jie nodded and then turned to look at Gu Weonian.

Gu Weonian, with a wry smile, spread his hands and said, “I'm getting old, and my potential is nearly exhausted, I still can't break through.”

“These things can't be forced.”

Without saying much more, Su Jie swept his gaze over the townspeople hiding behind windows and street corners spectating and cast a glance towards the Chu family mansion. He then pulled on the reins, “Let's go, let's head back.”

The seven or eight disciples immediately followed Su Jie and dashed out of Shaoshan Town.
