Chapter 995 - 712: Special Identity

Chapter 995: Chapter 712: Special Identity

Shen Xuan had long seen clearly the human race’s righteous facade, filled with intrigue and filth.

The temple may be small, but the demon winds are strong; the waters are shallow, yet many turtles roam.

Rather than serving others, becoming a pawn, it’s better to focus on improving oneself.

Since deciding to stay in Qin Country and cultivate, the core issue falls upon identity and Dao ground.

Joining a Sect is absolutely out of the question.

Major Sects have Divinity Transformation Celestial Monarchs and many Nascent Soul True Monarchs, with strict rules.

Any slight mistake would easily get noticed by great powers and become controlled by others.

The identity of a Loose Cultivator combined with residing in a core Immortal City becomes the better choice.

The five top Sects of Qin Country: Spirit Control Sect, Myriad Phenomena Daoist Palace,

Among them, Forgetful Sect and Infinity Sect belong to the Demon Dao’s leaders, to be eliminated first.

Although he’s not concerned about disguising as a Demon Cultivator, long-term living in an Immortal City dominated by the Demon Sect brings too many variables, not a long-term plan.

Spirit Control Sect is an upper sect of Bright Flame Sect, closely related.

Heading into their territory would inevitably entangle with past affairs of Bright Flame Sect; avoid if possible.

Thus, the only remaining options are Myriad Phenomena Daoist Palace and Hidden Sword Pavilion.

Actually, Shen Xuan does not have much choice.

He is not a Sword Cultivator, naturally having a barrier with Hidden Sword Pavilion’s Sword Dao inheritance, making it difficult to integrate.

The only suitable place is the core Immortal City under the Myriad Phenomena Daoist Palace, known for its inclusive nature and diverse Daoist Techniques.

Speaking of which, this Myriad Phenomena Daoist Palace is the main lineage located in Lu Country.

This point, perhaps, can be utilized in the future.

...

Shen Xuan traveled stealthily all the way, concealing breath and invisibility, bypassing several dangerous regions; the journey was fairly smooth.

Along the way, he encountered several teams led by Tier Three Demon Kings from the Demon Race.

With his deliberate concealment, the opponents failed to detect his presence.

In fact, even if discovered, it wouldn’t be Shen Xuan in trouble.

However, he was unsure if there were any Transformed Great Demons nearby.

Unwilling to stir up trouble and provoke unnecessary issues, he chose to quietly evade.

Over ten days later, at the outskirts of a continuous mountain range.

This place is close to the force range of Moonrise Immortal City.

On the forest clearing, a fierce battle was underway.

Five Foundation Establishment Cultivators, three men, and two women, each displaying their skills, attacked a large white-browed Tiger Demon.

Tiger Demon Beasts are renowned for their ferocity and combat prowess.

The white-browed Tiger Demon before them was merely Tier Two Middle Grade.

Its combat power was comparable to ordinary Tier Two Upper Grade Demon Beasts.

"Friend Chu, excellent skills! This Liuyun Flying Silk is truly utilized to perfection!"

An elderly-looking Foundation Establishment male Cultivator, holding a heavy Shield, praised after blocking a tiger demon’s pounce.

A woman dressed in a moon-white flowing Immortal Skirt, with an oval face, features as delicate as painting, with a temperament as cool as plum under the moon.

She had just maneuvered a white silk ribbon over ten meters long, remarkably nimble, like rings of white clouds, encircling layer upon layer, binding the tiger demon’s body.

The tiger demon roared continually in rage, with earth-shaking howls and powerful struggles.

Were it not for the White Silk Treasure’s mysterious nature and the Female Cultivator Chu’s masterful control, it might have been broken long ago.

The strength she displayed faintly made her the leader among the five.

The older male Cultivator focused on defense, standing at the forefront.

Another somewhat youthful female Cultivator and two young male Cultivators manipulated Flying Swords, persistently attacking from the flanks, with Sword Light targeting the tiger’s eyes, throat, and abdomen, the softer weak spots.

The tiger demon, though valiant, with the cooperation of the five, suffered several wounds, blood flowing, its breath gradually weakening, seemingly unable to hold on.

"Roar!"

Just as everyone thought victory was assured, a sudden change occurred!

The heavily scarred Tiger Demon let out a thunderous roar, with a trace of ancient savage brutality in the sound waves.

Its Demon Power surged abruptly, muscles swelling, its size seemingly increased by a circle.

A more ferocious and violent aura soared into the sky!

The white flying silk originally wrapped around it emitted the unbearable "sizzling" sound as the Spiritual Light rapidly dimmed.

"Not good! This beast, awakening its bloodline at the brink of death, fell into a berserk state!"

The seasoned male Cultivator instantly detected the anomaly.

"No! It advanced! Tier Two Upper Grade!"

As he finished speaking, the Tiger Demon’s eyes turned entirely red, standing upright, its front claws striking fiercely with the piercing sound of breaking air!

The three incoming Flying Swords were directly flung aside by the tiger’s claws, greatly losing their spiritual nature.

The tiger demon kicked off the ground with its hind legs, its massive body transforming into a streak of yellow-black afterimage, rushing towards the seasoned male Cultivator at an unparalleled speed and ferocity!

"Boom!"

Accompanied by the ear-piercing sound of metal shattering, the heavy Shield let out a mournful cry, immediately broken into pieces!

The older male Cultivator, as if hit by a sledgehammer, was blasted back more than ten meters, crashing heavily into an ancient tree, his face pallid.

At the brink of life and death, without the slightest hesitation, his Spiritual Power burned wildly within, transforming into Escape Light, fleeing towards the outside of the forest without looking back!

"Brother!"

"Go!"

The other two male Cultivators, upon seeing this, were terrified, losing all will to fight, hastily retrieving their damaged Flying Swords, also transforming into Escape Light, swiftly fleeing behind the seasoned male Cultivator.

"Sister!"

The young female Cultivator cried out in horror, losing her color.

"Pfft!"

Female Cultivator Chu felt sweetness in her throat, spitting out a mouthful of Essence Blood, the white flying silk losing its luster, falling softly.

The young female Cultivator gritted her teeth, trying to maneuver the Flying Sword in an attempt to harass the Tiger Demon, buying her sister a chance for survival.

However, the Tiger Demon didn’t even look, casually sweeping its steel whip-like tail, hitting the Flying Sword with a "clang," causing the Spiritual Light to extinguish.

The Tiger Demon’s red eyes were fixed on Female Cultivator Chu, suddenly leaping high, charging down as if Mount Tai were falling!
