I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 345 Deviating from Course (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Which state is this?

“Dui, Duizhou.”

The old man was covered in cold sweat. The golden needle and red thread that pierced his soul made him tremble with fear, and he dared not resist at all.

Jiang Yi frowned slightly. They had gone completely astray, ending up in Duizhou, which was northwest of Qianzhou.

"Who's in charge of Duizhou?" Jiang Yi continued to ask.

"Water Moon Palace".

"Who are you? Why are you here attacking merchant ships?"

The old man hurriedly said, "I am a cultivator from the Ghost Night Sect. I heard that some merchant ships from the north have recently gotten lost and ended up here, so I thought I'd try my luck."

Jiang Yi's expression turned cold. "How did you get this information?"

The old man swallowed hard, somewhat hesitant to speak. Jiang Yi moved his mind, and the red thread binding his soul suddenly tightened. The old man's face turned deathly pale, and he felt excruciating pain in his sea of ​​consciousness.

"I'll tell you, I'll tell you. It was when some of my senior brothers from the Ghost Night Sect went out to sea to hunt demons that they encountered a merchant ship coming from the north. There was only one Golden Core cultivator and a few dozen Foundation Establishment cultivators on board. They were no match for them. After slaughtering the ship, they reaped a considerable harvest, which is why I came... came..."

Jiang Yi sighed inwardly. It seemed that the other survivors from the Northern Xuan had finally managed to cross the Boundless Sea, only to fall into the hands of this group of evil cultivators.

Jiang Yi extracted some more information about Duizhou from the old man. His gaze turned cold, and he was about to kill him when he suddenly heard Hua Luosha's voice.

"Wait, how about giving him to me?"

Jiang Yi was shocked, "Are you so desperate for food?"

"Pah!" Hua Luosha retorted angrily. "You can question my character, but you can't question my judgment! I'm only interested in his corpse-refining techniques and want to search his soul. You hypocritical righteous cultivators, don't you find it troublesome to ask so many questions!"

"Oh, here you go."

The old man heard Jiang Yi talking to the air beside him, but he couldn't see anyone at all. He looked around in horror.

He was clearly the evil cultivator of the Ghost Night Sect, so how come this woman was even more bizarre than him?
However, in the next instant, a cold hand suddenly covered the old man's head. Before the old man could cry out, an extremely powerful divine thought invaded his sea of ​​consciousness.

He tried to struggle, but the golden needles and red threads bound him tightly.

Moments later, the old man bled from all seven orifices and collapsed to the ground, dead.

Hua Luosha took the blank jade slip, recorded all the information about Duizhou from the old man's memory, and handed it to Jiang Yi.

"Eastern Continent is truly a place where Golden Core cultivators are everywhere and Nascent Soul cultivators are as common as dogs. Even their small Ghost Night Sect has five Nascent Soul cultivators in charge. The highest cultivation level of the number one sect in Dui Continent, Water Moon Palace, is actually a Void Refinement Realm cultivator, which is even higher than the Nascent Soul Realm. It's terrifying!"

Jiang Yi took the jade slip and the storage bag from the old man, returned to the ship, and briefly told Qin Yi and the other Golden Core cultivators about the situation in Duizhou.

"It looks like the gale-force winds on the Boundless Sea will pick up in the next few months, so it's no longer possible to travel to Qianzhou by sea. We'll have to go through Duizhou instead."

After Jiang Yi finished speaking, she noticed that Qin Yi and the others all looked hesitant, indicating that they were not really willing to go to the Tai Xuan Sect.

Qin Yi honestly said, "Fellow Daoist Heying, to be honest, I just fought against the corpse-refining technique controlled by the evil cultivator and found that the corpse-refining technique here is completely different from that of my Chimeizhai. I am very curious about this. If possible, I would like to stay and investigate further."

The Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Demon Sect behind Qin Yi all nodded in agreement.

The name Tai Xuan Sect sounds like a sect that follows the orthodox path of cultivation, so they might not be allowed to continue refining corpses. Rather than being unwelcome in the past, it would be better to find a place that is more suitable for them.

The Eastern Continent is vast and rich in resources; there will always be opportunities for them.

The cultivators of Bai Zang Valley and Chong Valley were the same; each had their own ideas. Having finally arrived at a new place, they always wanted to explore it on their own before deciding whether to continue serving the sect.

Jiang Yi didn't press the matter, but simply made a copy of the jade slip and handed it to Qin Yi, saying, "In that case, we'll meet again someday."

Jiang Yi left with Hua Gu without any hesitation. She still needed to go to Tai Xuan Sect to ascertain the situation of her master and the others, and find Zhao Cangyun's whereabouts before she could travel with peace of mind.

After Hua Luosha disposed of the body, everyone knew that with such a commotion, there was no time to waste, and after making their decision, they all scattered. Jiang Yi and Hua Luosha, following the route in the old man's memory, rode on the back of the white crane that Hua Gu had transformed into, heading towards 'Sui City,' the closest city to the sea.

Duizhou is a land of many marshes, with a cold and damp climate and numerous lakes and swamps. Guiyemen is located deep in a swamp teeming with poisonous miasma outside Suicheng.

Hua Luosha removed the "blinding effect" and readily returned the items to Jiang Yi. She glanced at the streaks of light behind her, then deliberately moved closer to Jiang Yi, her breath as fragrant as orchids.

"Tell me, aren't you curious about what the Ghost Emperor's legacy is all this way?"

Jiang Yi looked down and rummaged through the old man's storage bag, then casually said, "I'm curious, will you let me see it?"

Hua Luosha smiled seductively, "Of course...no way!"

"A Golden Core cultivator is actually so poor!"

Jiang Yi took everything out of his storage bag. Apart from a hundred or so spirit stones that could be considered mid-grade in Beixuan, he only had three bottles of unknown pills, a few talismans, a Ghost Night Sect identity token, and some bone materials.

"Not even a single magic weapon, what a poor bastard!" Jiang Yi complained.

"You shattered three of their protective magical artifacts with a single sword strike, have you forgotten?"

Jiang Yi was taken aback. The Hidden Scale Sword was a spiritual sword, and the power of the Hidden Edge Sword was extraordinary. Once it was unleashed, it was difficult to stop.

Jiang Yi collected all the spirit stones and threw the storage bag along with the remaining items to Hua Luosha.

"Thank you."

Hua Luosha rolled her eyes, "I'm not a junk collector."

Despite saying that, she deftly stuffed the storage bag into her sleeve; she could use the Ghost Night Gate's token.

Suizhou was a long way away, and Hua Luosha hadn't had a proper chat with Jiang Yi during the past six months on the ship. Except when the monsters attacked, Jiang Yi was always sleeping.

Hua Luosha suddenly remembered something, took out a book from her storage bracelet and handed it to Jiang Yi.

Have you read this book?

Jiang Yi glanced down and realized that this was not the "Phoenix Shadow Chronicle" that Qi Tian had given her before, which was a fabrication by a person named Lou Tianji.

Hua Luosha asked mysteriously, "Do you know who this Lou Tianji is? When I first discovered this book, I was so angry I almost laughed. What do you mean, 'I'm deeply in love with you'? I immediately put a bounty on the black market to find out Lou Tianji's identity, and guess what happened?"

"Don't say it, I won't listen!" Jiang Yi rolled her eyes.

"Oh dear~" Hua Luosha exclaimed coquettishly, "I won't keep you in suspense any longer, this Lou Tianji is your junior sister, Liu Taozhi!"

"Huh?" Jiang Yi was shocked. This despicable content was actually written by Yao Yao?

Hua Luosha chuckled, "Otherwise, why do you think I would tolerate this thing spreading everywhere? She's your junior sister. Even if I don't care about the monk, I have to consider the Buddha. I can only let her go."

"Nine out of ten biographies about you in the Beixuan world were written by your junior sister under an alias. Lou Tianji, Lou Tianji. If your junior sister hadn't become a sword cultivator and instead devoted herself to writing vernacular stories, she could have become the richest woman in the region."

Jiang Yi chuckled. No wonder Yao Yao was always so rich, buying her so many things.

Yao Yao should have been among the first to evacuate, and she should have settled down in the Tai Xuan Sect by now, right?

Once we arrive in Suicheng, we'll see if there's a teleportation array that can take us directly to Qianzhou.

"Oh, right, there's something else I haven't had a chance to ask you yet," Hua Luosha said, starting another conversation. "Do you think the demonic tide of Beixuan will spread to Dongzhou?"

Jiang Yi's eyes darkened. "It's only a matter of time. You've taken the Ghost Emperor's inheritance. You'd better consider the consequences yourself."

"What do you mean?" Hua Luosha asked, puzzled.

As the night stretched on, Jiang Yi recounted to Hua Luosha the sins committed by the Nine Emperors.

　The second update will be a little later; let's have lunch first.
