Cultivation begins with planting techniques

died?

The cultivator surnamed Luo, a late-stage Innate Realm cultivator, was pierced through the head by a sword and smashed into a pile of minced meat.
Lu Jinyang, who had just broken the blood-red array and turned back to pursue the fleeing Luo surname cultivator, paused.

Perhaps the scene of the sword light splitting into eight directions had already given them an unparalleled shock.

When they saw Li Ye combine his sword light with his sword energy and use the Thunderous Sword Qi technique to kill the Luo-surnamed cultivator, the shock they felt was not as great as they had imagined.

But when they looked away and saw the scene of devastation, with corpses strewn everywhere, they were shocked.

Looking at Li Ye again, who had turned back with the wooden staff and immediately withdrawn his sword technique, she had a complicated expression on her face and didn't know what to say for a moment.

They had mistakenly believed that the sect leader had sent them to protect Li Ye, and they even harbored some resentment because they had been ambushed by the enemy.

Little did they know that this was just wishful thinking on their part.

With Li Ye's sword skills, he is already considered invincible in the Innate Realm!
This sword technique that splits into eight is considered to be of extraordinary and unparalleled combat power, even among Yuan Dan cultivators!

Even if he were alone, taking down all three of them in a one-on-one fight would be no difficult task for him!
So why would they need to accompany and protect them? It's already a favor if they don't turn around and protect them!
Thinking back on all the previous ideas, instructions, and arrangements, even though Lü Jinyang and the others were already innate cultivators, their faces inexplicably flushed.

However, as disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect, they had seen their share of storms, and such a disparity naturally left them with mixed feelings.

However, Li Ye's identity is extraordinary. As a true disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect, it is understandable that he displayed such sword skills despite the lack of prior preparation.

During their brief moment of stunned silence, Li Ye's voice suddenly rang out:

"Senior Brother Lü was just attacked. I wonder how badly he was injured?"

Upon hearing this, Lü Jinyang suddenly realized what was happening.

As the crisis subsided, the pain in my chest, as if filled with blood, intensified.

Within that gruesome wound, remnants of blood and evil energy writhed, constantly eroding the surrounding flesh and disrupting its magical power, making it quite sinister.

Then Li Ye slowly flew over, and without making any hand seals, he sent out a beam of emerald light to him.

Instantly, Lü Jinyang felt a warmth spread through his body, as if a spring breeze had swept over him. His vitality surged, and even the blood demons in his chest were expelled, with his flesh and blood visibly healing.

Only a few stubborn bloodstains and remnants of injuries remained.

She's in so much better shape than before!
"Thank you, Junior Brother Li! The Longevity Sword Manual's method of cultivating life force is indeed well-deserved!"

Lu Jinyang immediately thanked him, a hint of shame appearing on his face.
"I, Lü, truly dare to call myself senior brother. I was severely injured in a single blow just now, and I still need Junior Brother Li to break the deadlock..."

"Senior Brother Lü, there's no need for such formalities. We're all just wielding our swords to vanquish evil; it doesn't matter who makes the move..."

Li Ye smiled indifferently, "However, your injuries still need to be treated with elixirs to remove the impurities, so it's not advisable to delay any longer. Now that all these Netherworld Sect traitors have been killed, let's head back to camp!"

"According to that cultivator surnamed Luo, our information was leaked because someone in the camp betrayed us. When we return, we must investigate this thoroughly and not let such a villain get away with it!"

"Junior Brother Li is right!"

Lu Jinyang agreed, enduring the pain, while a hint of murderous intent appeared on his face.
"If it weren't for Junior Brother Li's extraordinary abilities, we would probably be in real danger of dying today... We must find that traitor and throw him into prison!"

Watching this scene, Cheng Linjue and Zhuo Xuan, sharing a common hatred for the enemy, couldn't help but have their thoughts churning. Although Li Ye's attitude hadn't changed, after this battle, Lü Jinyang could no longer act like a senior brother, and even unconsciously lowered his posture, somewhat following Li Ye's lead.

If even Lü Jinyang felt this way, then the two of them had nothing more to say to each other.

After witnessing Li Ye's sword light splitting and sword energy thunder sound, Cheng Linjue briefly recalled Li Ye's achievements since joining the sect and realized that his past view of this person as a competitor was merely wishful thinking.

Such individuals are merely lying low while tending to spiritual plants in the herb garden; once they have accumulated enough, they will immediately soar to great heights!
Although he was proud of his talent and ability, compared to others, he was like a firefly compared to the bright moon!

Cheng Linjue was completely convinced!
Fortunately, Zhuo Xuan did not have any intention of competing with her.

After the crisis passed, recalling Li Ye's figure as he ruthlessly broke the deadlock with his sword skills, she looked at Li Ye's face with surprise and admiration.

Even the wooden staff he casually held, which served as a flying sword, took on a special meaning.

As expected of someone who can cultivate spiritual plants like the Pure Spirit Willow and who, even at the innate stage, mastered sword techniques such as sword light differentiation and sword energy thunder, is truly unique!

Lu Jinyang was seriously injured, and no one wanted to stay any longer.

After destroying the blood pool in the town, taking the waist tokens of those Netherworld Sect disciples, and disposing of all their bodies to eliminate all traces, they set off to leave.

As for the withered and decayed state of the Luo-surnamed cultivator's body, which seemed somewhat different from the characteristics of the Longevity Sword Manual described in the sect, the three who had witnessed Li Ye's final strike of the bluish-black sword light pretended not to see it.

It's none of their business to question the true disciples' cultivation methods!
"What a pity. One of them was a late-stage cultivator. If I could have seized all of his cultivation, even if the attributes of his cultivation technique didn't match and the losses would be greater, it should still have been enough for me to break through..."

Li Ye glanced one last time at the small town, where all the corpses had been disposed of and burned to the ground, and felt a slight sense of regret.

However, he still needs the benefits brought by the Heavenly Sword Sect, so he naturally has to maintain some degree of dependence.

He had wasted the time of this group of evil cultivators, but since he was now acting alone, he could do as he pleased.

Reaching the peak of the Innate Realm shouldn't take too long!
………………

When Li Ye and his three companions returned to camp, they reported that someone had betrayed them, causing an uproar throughout the camp.

The elder in charge showed no leniency and took matters into his own hands. After several investigations, he identified the traitor in less than an hour.

Li Ye vaguely remembered this person; he was one of the cultivators who had come to greet him when he first arrived at the camp.

Later, when Lü Jinyang casually judged them, this person seemed to have heard the words, and his expression changed.

Regardless of his intentions, since he committed this act of betrayal, he must naturally pay the price.

After the elders subdued him, they only conducted a brief interrogation to confirm his identity and find out if he had any accomplices, before killing him on the spot without any mercy!

Such swift and decisive handling of the situation drew applause from the disciples who had nothing to hide.

However, a few disciples who were struggling painfully on the front lines and had all sorts of thoughts in mind felt a chill in their hearts and quickly dismissed those dangerous ideas.

With such a "role model" before them, they certainly didn't want to follow in his footsteps! (End of Chapter)
