Chapter 115 Demonic Cultivator

"Uncle Sanada and Brother Fifteen have disappeared? When did this happen?!"

On his way back to Wuliang Mountain, Xu Yuanlang suddenly received news that Xu Zhentian had gone missing.

"Seven days have passed. News of vengeful ghosts haunting the spiritual vein they were guarding has been circulating, so the two of them went to investigate."

They sent messages back to their family every day, but the communication suddenly stopped seven days ago. At first, the family thought the two might have gone too far in their pursuit and had no chance to send back messages, but seven days have passed.

After hearing the whole story, Xu Yuanlang frowned. Both of them were late-stage Qi Refining cultivators, so it was normal for them to occasionally not have a chance to send back messages. However, seven days had passed, and a shadow of gloom appeared in Xu Yuanlang's heart. He was afraid that they were probably in grave danger.

"Fourth Brother, where was the last place they disappeared? I'll go and look for them."

Xu Yuanjing took out a map made of animal hide and drew a circle on it.

"here!"

"Oh, so it's near Qinshan. I'm quite familiar with this area."

Xu Yuanjing then put the map away, and looked at him with a worried expression.

"I'll go with you. To be honest, your fourth brother is now a Qi Refining Perfection cultivator, so I can be of some help."

Xu Yuanlang declined his offer and slowly began to speak.

"Forget it, Fourth Brother. I'm used to being alone. Besides, it's just looking for someone; I don't need too many people."

After saying that, he turned and left quickly. Xu Yuanjing watched his back and a faint smile appeared on his face.

"This kid is much more confident than before."

Of course, he didn't hear his fourth brother's praise, and even if he had, he wouldn't have cared. He only had one thought in mind: to find Xu Zhentian and the other man as soon as possible.

When he was stationed at Qinglong Mountain, Xu Zhentian helped him a lot, and he personally taught him a lot of common knowledge about the cultivation world.

Although Xu Zhentian didn't think it was a big deal, Xu Yuanlang was extremely grateful.

"Uncle and Fifteenth Brother, you two must not get into any trouble."

Just as Xu Yuanlang was on his way, Li Luomao happened to come across a gathering place for independent cultivators.

There are many such gathering points near Qinshan. Most of them are places where independent cultivators agree to exchange resources. Generally speaking, there are only about a hundred people in each gathering point.

The gathering point that Li Luomao broke into only had about fifty people, located on a cliff, most of whom were early-stage Qi Refining cultivators.

The cultivators present were shocked when they saw Li Luomao, who was covered in charred black skin and looked like a vengeful ghost. They were astonished that someone could survive such terrible injuries.

However, Li Luomao did not hesitate at all. In a flash, he appeared behind a person, his charred hands quickly grabbing the person's neck and then directly extracting their blood and qi. In just a moment, a living Qi Refining cultivator was turned into a shriveled corpse.

"Demon... Demonic cultivator..."

Upon witnessing this scene, a female cultivator screamed in terror, and the cultivators at the gathering point scattered in panic, immediately turning tail and running in all directions.

"Hehe, we can't let you get away."

Li Luomao looked at everyone with greed in her eyes, as if she had seen a delicious meal.

"Still trying to run?"

The next moment, a black storm suddenly arose on the spot, and countless black blades swept across the ground like swallows.

Whether it was a magical artifact or a cultivator blocking their way, they were all cut in half. In an instant, almost all of the fifty-odd cultivators present had their legs severed.

"Hibari, run!"

Seeing the approaching black spirit blade, the female cultivator Yunxi's expression changed drastically. Almost without thinking, she forcefully shoved her younger sister towards the cliff.

This was their only way out. Although they didn't know Li Luomao, they knew that he was incredibly strong, and that even if everyone present attacked together, they probably couldn't win.

"sister!"

Before Hibari could react, she fell off the cliff, and the last thing she saw was her sister covered in blood.

She didn't know how much time had passed before she slowly woke up.

"woke up?"

A voice that sounded somewhat familiar to her rang out, and Hibari instinctively widened her eyes, then looked at the speaker, her eyes suddenly lighting up.

It was Xu Yuanlang, who had fought alongside them back then.

"Is it you?"

"It's me. We parted ways seven years ago. I never expected to see you again today. What happened? If I hadn't pulled you out of the water in time, you would probably be dead."

Xu Yuanlang threw a few pieces of dry firewood into the fire, and the slowly rising flames warmed the surroundings considerably.

"I might have killed my sister!"

Yun Que's voice was low and she was extremely dejected. Xu Yuanlang's hand, which was putting firewood into the fire, suddenly stopped. Although the Yunxi and Yun Que sisters had not made much progress compared to back then, they were still considered good among the rogue cultivators. How could they have suddenly died?

"Hibari, what exactly happened? Tell me in detail."

Having just lost her sister, Hibari was in a vulnerable state. Her eyes instantly turned red, and she burst into tears.

Xu Yuanlang listened patiently from the side, and after Yun Que vented her anger, Xu Yuanlang finally understood what had happened from her intermittent narration.

"What does that demonic cultivator look like?"

"He looked like a demon, his whole body was like charcoal, but he was very strong and fast as lightning. We didn't even see how he made his move."

My sister pushed me off the cliff at the last moment; otherwise, I would have died too.

Upon hearing Yun Que's introduction, Xu Yuanlang's expression froze.

"Hibari, where did you run into that guy?"

"Um?"

Yun Que looked up with teary eyes, seemingly surprised that Xu Yuanlang would suddenly become so agitated.

"To be honest, I came here mainly to look for someone."

Seven days ago, someone from the Xu family went missing. They investigated the disturbance caused by a vengeful ghost, but the person disappeared without a trace. I feel that the demon-like figure you mentioned is probably the same entity as the vengeful ghost they are investigating.

Upon hearing this, Yun Que fiercely wiped away her tears and then stood up with great effort.

"I'll lead the way, maybe...maybe my sister is still alive..."

Xu Yuanlang looked at Yun Que with admiration. The fear on her youthful and beautiful face had not yet faded, but her eyes held a hint of determination.

"Alright, you lead the way! I don't care who's playing tricks, I'll definitely destroy them."

Xu Yuanlang's voice was filled with an uncontrollable murderous intent.

"However, even so, Yuan Lang, you'd better be careful; this person is very strong."

"Don't worry about that, I have some confidence in my abilities."

Yun Que secretly observed Xu Yuanlang. Unlike back then, he was now radiant and exuded confidence from the inside out.

"Yuen Long, you can definitely handle that guy."
