C3241 An Unexpected Encounter
Because of a misunderstanding, the Fiendish Cultivator chose to self-destruct.
Looking at his inflated body, the Fiendish Cultivator started to let out a final maniacal laugh. "Haha. . . Die with me!"
In the midst of his laughter, the devil cultivator charged at Jiang Ting. Even Jiang Ting could not withstand the self-destruction of a third level Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Of course, he would not die. He had the protection of the Thousand Feathers and the tiger-shaped hairpin, as well as the huge gap of three levels. . . . At most, he would only be heavily injured. If he dodged well. . . He would probably only be covered in dirt.
Hide?
Jiang Ting did not dodge, but stood where he was. "Self-explosion? You are only at Foundation Establishment 3rd Level, how can you have the confidence to self-detonate in front of me?"
He used his mighty energy to turn it into a fierce wind, which slowed down the charging speed of the devil cultivator.
"Don't even think about running!" The demonic cultivator gritted his teeth and prepared to forcefully break through the gale.
At this moment, he suddenly saw a flash of silver light. . . And then, he felt a slight chill on his neck.
What happened?
Before the Fiendish Cultivator could figure it out, he felt as if countless hot blood was rushing up his neck. He felt as if the world was spinning around him.
In the midst of the spinning, he saw his body. However, his body had lost its head.
He also saw that his body, which was about to explode, rapidly returned to its original state like a leaking balloon.
Just as he was about to investigate further, endless darkness attacked him. . . He was engulfed by the darkness, and the fiendish cultivator had lost all his consciousness. Even in his death, he did not even have a name.
He was dead.
Just as he was about to rush towards Jiang Ting, he was instantly killed by Jiang Ting with a sharp blade. Under the huge gap in cultivation base, he didn't even have time to react.
"Bang!" The corpse fell to the ground.
"Rumble. . . " The human head that shot into the sky also landed on the ground. It rolled on the ground many times before slowly coming to a stop.
Corpse head, split into two.
The blood that had spread on the streets of this small town added some more blood to the streets. The blood-stained storage bag of the devil cultivator flew towards Jiang Ting without any wind. The blood that had stained the bag disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The people in the town looked at Jiang Ting with trembling eyes. They wanted to come up and thank him, but they were afraid of Jiang Ting's identity as a "ruthless and heartless immortal. " They were afraid that Jiang Ting would kill them.
They wanted to leave, but they didn't dare.
They could only stand stiffly in front of Jiang Ting.
"Hmm. . . I feel much better now. " Jiang Ting stretched his back. With some laziness and a little smile, he turned around and returned to the flying boat. He controlled the flying boat and broke into the sky again.
He did not care about the thoughts of the mortals here.
Only when Jiang Ting disappeared into the sky did the mortals in the town dare to test his way out of the obstacles, the rooms, and the courtyard.
After that, they naturally wouldn't blame Jiang Ting. Instead, they once again looked at the streets and corpses.
The heartache, sadness, and other emotions that had disappeared because of fear and shock rose up once again. Tears and the like would come at any time.
"Mother, mother, wake up. . . "
"Son, ah! Wuwuwu. . . "
"Damned devil, just what kind of sin has our Southern Ridge Town committed? . . . Wuuuu. . . "
…………
Somewhere within Autumn Water Pavilion, in the sky.
Jiang Ting was flying the flying boat in the sky. His speed wasn't too fast, because he was studying the map. He wanted to see how he was going to proceed without getting close to the area marked with the appearance of the Devil Cultivator Alliance. This was the safest route.
How to fly was the best way to increase the distance between them and the "dangerous" areas.
"Hmph. . . Hmph. . . " Because the anger in his heart had been vented, and because he had obtained the map and had a strand of happy mood, Jiang Ting hummed a song that was rare for him.
It was not a song from this world, and from time to time, words would flash across it. It was also not a language that the people of this world could understand. . . . Of course, the communication between cultivators had never relied on words, but on divine sense.
Regardless of what language or dialect one spoke, and how difficult it was to understand a dialect or language, with divine sense. . . They could understand everything.
After flying for an unknown period of time.
Jiang Ting, who was humming a song to relax his body and mind, was still thinking about the route, when he suddenly turned his head and looked behind him. . . At the distant horizon. Two streaks of light flew over at an extremely fast speed.
If he continued to maintain his current slow speed, he would be caught in an hour.
If he stood still and didn't understand, the two streaks of light would be able to approach him in the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn.
Of course, if he chose to advance at full speed. . . Not to mention that he had a flying boat, even if he did not have a flying boat, the two people behind him would not be able to catch up to him.
"Revenge for that fiendish cultivator?"
After pondering for a moment, Jiang Ting shook his head slightly. " No, according to the markings on the map, there was no stronghold of the Devil Cultivator Alliance nearby. Even if they had sensed that the devil cultivator had been killed, it was impossible for them to arrive so quickly. It seems like it was a coincidence that they were on the same path. "
Most importantly, there was no reaction from his sixth sense at all. . . . Then, if those two were enemies, it would not be a threat to him at all. If they were not enemies. . . Since they were not enemies, why should he care so much?
Thinking of this, Jiang Ting stopped the flying ship and quietly hovered in the sky, waiting for the two rays of light to approach.
Coincidentally, he also had some news that he wanted to inquire about. He didn't know how the situation of the Purple Frost Sect was going in the past half a year.
Soon, half an incense stick of time had passed.
"Phew. . . Phew. . . " Two streaks of light flew to the side of the flying boat, revealing two women dressed in Autumn Water Pavilion garments.
Jiang Ting, who was waiting, raised his eyebrows. Flower Bell?
He didn't know one of them, but he knew one of them. It was none other than Flower Bell.
As for his cultivation base. . . Flower Bell's progress couldn't compare to Jiang Ting's.
Hua Ling was only at Foundation Establishment Stage Level 4, and the woman Jiang Ting didn't know was holding the sheathed Longsword. She was at Foundation Establishment Stage Level 5.
Generally speaking, if they were to fight, they would be able to crush the two of them with their Immortal Arts alone.
On the other side.
Hua Ling and Jiang Chen looked at Jiang Ting with furrowed brows. At this moment, Jiang Ting was wearing a black robe and a bamboo hat.
If it wasn't for the fact that he didn't have the aura of the Devil Dao around him, In this deserted wilderness, you might be mistaken for a devil.
The two of them silently looked at each other.
Following which, the woman holding the sword, Mei Hui, stepped forward and spoke. "How may I address you, Fellow Daoist? Did Fellow Daoist kill the Fiendish Cultivator of Nanling Town?"
Jiang Ting sized him up, but he didn't reply. Instead, he pondered in silence. He was thinking about whether he should announce his identity or not.1
Although he didn't know why the Autumn Water Pavilion would come here, he didn't think the Autumn Water Pavilion would make such a big fuss. Even Hua Ling had been dispatched just to take care of a small Foundation Establishment third level devil cultivator. There must have been other operations after that.
It might have been a treasure exploration, or it could have been a preparation to head to the Purple Frost Sect. . . . Of course, it was only along the way that they were preparing to kill the fiendish cultivator and track him down!
But no matter what it was, they were all people of the Autumn Water Pavilion. Right now, the Purple Frost Sect's Autumn Water Pavilion and the Demon Refining Pavilion had allied together to fight against the fiendish cultivator alliance.
The Purple Frost Sect and the Autumn Water Pavilion were allies.
With Hua Ling's identity, if he were to reveal his identity, and if Hua Ling was willing to help, he might be able to return to the Purple Frost Sect safely, right?
