Chapter 1043 Beginning

Whether it's the Supreme Celestial Demon, the Supreme Celestial Monster, or the Spirit Lord, they are all legends.

There's almost nothing you can truly understand unless you become one of them.

Whether one can be resurrected after death is impossible for a Venerable One, but it may not be impossible for a Spirit Venerable One.

If one can create clones, it's not surprising that other spirit lords possess some special supernatural abilities.

"Really?...No, I don't think so?" Miao Qingjie scratched his head. "I've been looking for remains, and I've only found one so far. Shouldn't we look for the others?"

Hu Yunni's bright eyes shone brightly as she stared intently at him.

Miao Qingjie touched his face: "Am I really acting strange?"

Hu Yunni stared at him, then beckoned her hand towards Leng Tieya: "What do you think, Mr. Sun?"

“...I didn’t realize that.” Leng Tieya shook his head: “Ever since he met Young Master Miao, he has shown an extraordinary enthusiasm for the remains.”

“We’ve never been this enthusiastic before,” Hu Yunni said.

Miao Qingjie asked somewhat uncertainly, "Maybe it's because we finally found it, and there's hope? That's why we're becoming more and more eager?...I'm really acting strange?"

He also became somewhat paranoid.

Leng Tieya said, "I wonder if there is any treasure that can detect anything unusual."

If such a treasure exists, one must be even more careful.

Hu Yunni took out a celestial stone from her sleeve and handed it to Miao Qingjie: "Here, wear this."

Miao Qingjie was taken aback, and quickly waved his hand: "This is yours, Junior Sister Hu, how can I accept it!"

Each disciple received a Celestial Star Stone Pendant, and Hu Yunni only received one.

Hu Yunni said, "I have other soul-protecting treasures."

Miao Qingjie smiled and quickly accepted the Heavenly Star Stone Pendant: "Then I shall accept it without hesitation."

Hu Yunni stared intently as he put on the Heavenly Star Stone Pendant, and the pendant showed no abnormalities.

She looked away: "It seems that Senior Brother Miao is alright."

She still felt that Miao Qingjie was different, even though the power was blocked, the influence still lingered.

Miao Qingjie put on the Tianxing Stone Pendant and immediately perked up: "Let's go, Mr. Sun, let's go take a look."

Leng Tieya looked at Hu Yunni with an inquiring expression.

Hu Yunni said, "I'll join you too."

"That would be perfect," Miao Qingjie readily agreed.

……

Leng Tieya stood on the shore, put the broken sword fragments back into the box, and closed his eyes.

Miao Qingjie closed the black box and put it back in his pocket.

Hu Yunni stared intently at Leng Tieya, her bright eyes shining as she focused on sensing his presence.

Leng Tieya sensed his surroundings, while she sensed Leng Tieya's presence.

After a moment, she regained her composure and gently shook her head.

She was completely heartbroken.

It is indeed an aura that cannot be perceived and cannot be forced.

She glanced at Miao Qingjie.

Could it be that the Mr. Chu that Senior Brother Miao mentioned really has amazing abilities? Is the so-called "luck" not just nonsense?

Leng Tieya remained calm, but his face quickly turned pale, indicating that he was rapidly consuming his mental energy.

He appeared calm, but his heart was far from at peace.

The aura of the broken sword fragments clung to the white callus inside the Laogong acupoint on the left palm.

The aura suddenly became dozens of times stronger, and the perception of the surroundings instantly became dozens of times clearer.

The aura emanating from the broken sword fragments drew out the aura emanating from the right palm of the Supreme Heavenly Demon.

With this aura, the range and clarity of sensing the surrounding aura are greatly enhanced.

He opened his eyes and shook his head helplessly.

There was no trace of skeletal remains nearby, indicating that there were no more skeletal remains within a radius of ten or even a hundred miles.

There are only two hands here. Where are the feet and the torso?

"No, oh well, what a pity." Miao Qingjie looked disappointed.

“There’s nothing to regret,” Hu Yunni said. “It might not be a bad thing.”

Leng Tieya said, "Let's try again tomorrow, maybe the sensing won't be accurate."

"Okay, I'll try again tomorrow." Miao Qingjie nodded hurriedly.

Hu Yunni said, "Let's deal with those demons first, then go back into the cliff. Once we understand the remains, we might be able to find the others with them."

Miao Qingjie agreed, wishing he could immediately return to Zhaixing Cliff to erase the power on the remains so he could sense them with peace of mind.

Leng Tieya said, "The aura on those remains must be very strong, so I won't be needed then."

Miao Qingjie quickly waved his hand: "It wouldn't be possible without Mr. Sun's help."

Hu Yunni said, "Mr. Sun, rest assured, we will not do anything like crossing the river and then burning the bridge."

Leng Tieya smiled and clasped his hands in a fist salute.

When they returned the next day, Leng Tieya still shook his head in disappointment.

At the same time, he extracted a wisp of energy from the broken sword fragments and injected it into the Laogong acupoint on his left hand. This made the energy attached to the white cocoon even more concentrated, further enhancing his sensing range.

Even under these circumstances, no similar aura could be sensed nearby.

He then worked with Miao Qingjie and Hu Yunni to expand outwards from Wanjiang City, eventually reaching a distance of one hundred li.

But still found nothing.

Miao Qingjie was completely heartbroken this time.

They returned to Wanjiang City, and as soon as Leng Tieya returned to his courtyard, Miao Qingjie came to visit again.

"Mr. Sun, would you like to join us in exterminating the evil forces of the Netherbone Sect?"

“I won’t go,” Leng Tieya said, shaking his head. “To avoid any mishaps.”

"Really not going?" Miao Qingjie asked curiously.

In his memory, Leng Tieya hated these evil spirits to the bone and would never let them go if given the chance.

Leng Tieya said, "With you all taking action, there's no need for me to do it."

Miao Qingjie clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Mr. Sun, why don't you lend us a hand?"

Mr. Sun's swordsmanship is astonishing; in terms of killing power, he is comparable to Junior Sister Hu.

With such strong support, how could he not use it, especially since Junior Sister Hu also strongly urged him to go?

"...I'm afraid my going will cause problems."

"Mr. Sun and Junior Sister Hu acted together."

"That's fine."

Leng Tieya readily agreed.

Miao Qingjie chuckled twice and shook his head: "Mr. Sun, don't overthink it."

“I didn’t think much of it,” Leng Tieya laughed. “You still have self-awareness.”

Miao Qingjie nodded.

He also felt that Leng Tieya was aware of the situation and wouldn't be delusional.

"Then let's set off."

"So fast?"

"Our senior brothers and sisters have arrived and are waiting for us."

Dozens of experts from Zhaixing Cliff infiltrated the city under various identities and joined Hu Yunni and her group.

"it is good."

……

A bright moon hangs high.

The night is as cold as water.

Leng Tieya and Hu Yunni sped side by side, their feet brushing past the treetops.

The moonlight fell on them, casting a faint, hazy glow.

Cold Iron Cliff remained silent.

Hu Yunni's status was indeed extremely high; even with so many experts from Zhaixing Cliff coming, they all obeyed her commands.

Hu Yunni glanced around with her bright eyes, alert and careful, concealing her presence.

Leng Tieya also concealed his aura.

Hu Yunni made a gesture.

According to Leng Tieya's super-sensory perception, dozens of experts from Zhaixing Cliff, a hundred meters behind him, dispersed and maintained a distance of about ten zhang, vaguely forming a fan shape, and stopped moving, hiding in the forest.

Leng Tieya raised an eyebrow.

The disciples of Zhaixing Cliff are well-trained and have practiced their offensive techniques.

Hu Yunni turned to look at Leng Tieya and whispered, "Let's find the hidden mole."

Leng Tieya nodded.

Hu Yunni pointed to his left, then to her right, and then to herself.

Leng Tieya nodded and floated to the left front, while Hu Yunni went to the right front.

They each climbed over the opposite mountain peak from either side and disappeared into the woods on the shady side of the peak.

Their figures flashed through the forest, moving as fast as lightning.

Without a sound, Leng Tieya flashed a streak of light across the necks of two Yougu Sect experts.

Don't give them a chance to speak.

On the other hand, Hu Yunni was also graceful and light, as swift as a shooting star, and appeared behind the two Yougu Sect experts in a flash, silently patting the back of their heads with her jade palm.

They knew nothing when a sharp pain shot through the back of their heads, their vision went black, and they died instantly.

Leng Tieya killed two spies and continued forward without stopping, then beheaded two more in the woods.

These hidden stakes are all in pairs, requiring quick movement and swift swordsmanship to eliminate them silently.

He continued relentlessly, fighting his way from the mountainside to the summit, then down to the valley, where he charged in alone, killing silently.

The valley was silent; the entire western altar of the Yougu Sect had fallen asleep.

Until a bell rang, echoing throughout the valley.
