Mortal Cultivation to Immortality: I Have 108,000 Techniques

"laugh!"

With a flash of cold light from the crescent blade at Zhang Yi's fingertip, he took Yan Nanfeng's head.

He remained calm, removed the storage bag, and burned the body to destroy the evidence.

He did this because he had a better plan.

Yan Nanfeng possesses considerable cultivation and rich experience in combat. His ability to wield the Golden Dragon Sword indicates that he holds a very high position within the Yan family.

Zhang Yi can use this person to cleanse the magical artifacts such as the White Gold Snake Sword and the Gilded Ring.

but.

Wan Xiaoshan is a better choice.

Wan Xiaoshan is guileless, kind-hearted, and trusts Zhang Yi completely. Moreover, he comes from the Wan family of Kuyashan.

Although the Wan family's power is not as great as the Yan family's.

but.

The Wan family is a vassal family of the Giant Sword Sect, and they should not be underestimated.

Wan Xiaoshan served as a witness.

Zhang Yi publicly claimed that Yan Nanfeng died at the hands of the Black Fiend Sect.

The magical artifact was obtained by him after killing the evil cultivators of the Black Fiend Cult.

Even if the Yan family suspects something, so what?

Is it possible to enter Huangfeng Valley, capture Zhang Yi, and interrogate him to find out the truth?

By killing Yan Nanfeng, Zhang Yi can not only obtain the Golden Dragon Sword, but also clear its name through Wan Xiaoshan.

He can use it openly and honestly, which will greatly increase his chances of winning on the dueling platform!

Half an hour later.

Inside a secluded cave at the foot of Tianwu Terrace.

Wan Xiaoshan woke up groggily, and the first thing he saw was a familiar figure.

"Little Shan, you're awake!"

Zhang Yi's face lit up with joy.

"So it's Brother Zhang?"

After Wan Xiaoshan recognized the person, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"You were ambushed by the Azure-Patterned Daoist and almost lost your life."

Zhang Yi's expression was grave as he asked with concern, "Xiaoshan, weren't you with your clansmen? How did you get targeted by Qingwen?"

Wan Xiaoshan gave a wry smile and mumbled, "I heard there's an ancient cultivation cave here, so I couldn't resist coming with a few friends..."

"An ancient cultivation cave?"

Zhang Yi just wanted to roll his eyes.

There aren't that many caves waiting for you.

Wan Xiaoshan truly deserves to be called the most innocent person in the cultivation world!

The other cultivators were still unconscious.

Their clothes were very luxurious, clearly indicating that they were also cultivators from aristocratic families, and like Wan Xiaoshan, they had been targeted by evil cultivators.

"Oh, right!"

Wan Xiaoshan remembered something else and hurriedly asked, "Brother Zhang, when I was knocked unconscious by the poisonous smoke, I vaguely heard a cultivator from the Yan family come to my rescue."

Where is that Fellow Daoist Yan?

Zhang Yi then revealed a somber expression and took out the storage bag he had obtained from Yan Nanfeng.

"I met Fellow Daoist Yan nearby. He asked me to save Xiaoshan and the others first. After I brought you here, I will go back to help Fellow Daoist Yan. It's already..."

Zhang Yi slowly shook his head and sighed, "I only killed two evil cultivators, and Fellow Daoist Yan's belongings are all here."

Not only Yan Nanfeng's relics are here.

The three magical artifacts left behind by Yan Xue and Yan Han—the Golden Snake Sword, the Gilded Ring, and the other two—are also in the storage bag.

at this time.

The other cultivators gradually woke up.

They were initially bewildered, but after Wan Xiaoshan explained, they quickly understood what had happened.

"Liu Mucheng of the Liu family in Qingshui City thanks Fellow Daoist Zhang."

A handsome young man bowed deeply and solemnly said, "I have nothing of value to repay you, but I will inform my uncle and he will certainly thank Fellow Daoist Zhang handsomely."

These evil cultivators are truly hateful! I will definitely have my uncle wipe them all out!

"The Liu family of Qingshui City?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yi seemed to be deep in thought and looked at Wan Xiaoshan.

Wan Xiaoshan excitedly explained, "The Liu family also has a Foundation Establishment stage expert in charge!"

Moreover, he has become a disciple of a Core Formation stage elder in Yellow Maple Valley!

Liu Mucheng slightly raised his chin, looking quite arrogant.

"Your uncle wouldn't happen to be...?"

Zhang Yi asked tentatively.

Liu Mucheng cupped his hands in greeting, "My uncle, Liu Jing, is a disciple of Master Li of Huangfeng Valley."

"I see."

Zhang Yi suddenly realized.

No wonder Liu Mucheng exuded righteousness, giving him a sense of déjà vu.

It turns out he was a relative of Liu Jing, and they were even uncle and nephew.

That's not surprising!

That's not surprising!

If it is related to other Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Zhang Yi might need to find a way to escape immediately to avoid attracting the covetousness of Yan Nanfeng's relics.

Since it is Liu Jing.

Zhang Yi decided to stay there and wait for the other party to come looking for him.

Liu Jing is a rare true gentleman in the cultivation world!

It's unlikely they would commit murder and robbery.

of course.

Zhang Yi would not entrust his life and death to others.

He instructed Wan Xiaoshan and other aristocratic cultivators to send transmission talismans to Tianwutai, explaining their current situation.

In this way.

Even if Liu Jing's image as a virtuous gentleman was a facade, he still had to be cautious.

Zhang Yi did all this quite openly, without any intention of avoiding Liu Mucheng.

A moment later.

A streak of light pierced through the air and arrived.

After landing, a male and a female cultivator emerged, both appearing to be only twenty-five or twenty-six years old.

The man had a refined and scholarly appearance, while the woman had fair skin and a round face.

"Mucheng?"

One of the refined-looking men called out anxiously and rushed into the cave.

The fair-skinned woman hurriedly followed.

Liu Mucheng struggled to his feet and walked out of the cave. "Uncle!"

The refined gentleman was clearly Liu Jing!

"Thanks to this Fellow Daoist Zhang for his intervention, otherwise my nephew and the others would certainly be in grave danger!"

After exchanging greetings, Liu Mucheng pointed at Zhang Yi and said...

When Zhang Yi saw Liu Jing and the other two, he felt a chill run down his spine.

Their magical power was far greater than that of Qingyan Zhenren!

They were undoubtedly all Foundation Establishment cultivators, and they seemed to be not far from the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.

"This junior greets Senior Liu."

Zhang Yi bowed respectfully.

Liu Jing had already learned the general outline of what had happened from Liu Mucheng.

He strode forward, helped Zhang Yi up, and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Zhang has profound magical power and a solid foundation. He will surely become one of us in the future."

We can simply treat each other as equals!

The fair-skinned woman stood with Liu Jing and smiled, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, are you going to participate in the Ascension Ceremony? Which sect do you plan to join?"

Zhang Yi answered truthfully, "Yellow Maple Valley."

"Hahaha! Very good!"

Liu Jing patted Zhang Yi's shoulder forcefully, "Mu Cheng must have told you that we are disciples of Huangfeng Valley."

With your profound cultivation and your ability to slay evil cultivators, it won't be difficult for you to secure a spot. From now on, we'll be fellow disciples!

Zhang Yi hurriedly declined a few times.

"What kind of expression would Liu Jing have if he knew that I killed Yan Nanfeng?"

Zhang Yi thought to himself.

Liu Jing revived the people in the cave one by one, then took out a blue wooden boat and made a hand seal.

The wooden boat spun around and disappeared into a distance of three zhang (approximately 10 meters).

Once everyone was on the flying boat, Liu Jing made a hand seal and transformed into a streak of azure light, disappearing towards the Heavenly Mist Platform.

A moment later.

The airship passed through a thick fog and landed on a flat area on a mountaintop.

Several anxious-looking cultivators were pacing back and forth. When they saw Liu Jing, they quickly surrounded him.

"Senior Liu, have you found my son?"

"Thank you, senior, for saving my son's life!"

"Fellow Daoist Liu, where is my nephew Nanfeng?"

"Xiaoshan, why aren't you thanking Fellow Daoist Liu for saving your life!"

The crowd started talking all at once; they were none other than Wan Xiaoshan's teachers and relatives.

Liu Jing raised his hand to calm himself down and said loudly, "Fellow Daoists, please don't be impatient. Please listen to what I have to say."

"The fact that your nephews and descendants survived is not due to my efforts, but rather to the rescue by Fellow Daoist Zhang."

All eyes turned to Zhang Yi.

Upon hearing this, the Qi Refining cultivators repeatedly expressed their gratitude.

Several Foundation Establishment cultivators, though somewhat dissatisfied with the term "fellow Daoist," refrained from objecting out of respect for Liu Jing.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, where is my nephew Nanfeng?"

An elderly man in a brocade robe asked in a deep voice.

Zhang Yi glanced at Liu Jing.

Liu Jing stepped forward, shielding Zhang Yi behind him, his expression grave. "Fellow Daoist Yan fought valiantly against more than a dozen evil cultivators to rescue his fellow Daoists, fighting to the death without retreating, ultimately succumbing to exhaustion!"

"Died from exhaustion?"

The old man in the brocade robe was taken aback, then roared, "I don't believe it! Let that brat come out and confront me!"

Liu Jing's face darkened. "I am also deeply saddened by the fall of Fellow Daoist Yan Nanfeng, but he died for the sake of eliminating demons and protecting the righteous path. How heroic!"

Fellow Daoist Zhang also fought against evil cultivators and saved the lives of more than ten people.

"Fellow Daoist Yan wants to confront him, a mere Qi Refining cultivator? Is he trying to bully me by relying on his cultivation level? Why not confront me, Liu, instead?"

At this time.

Zhang Yi stepped forward, holding a storage bag in his hand, and said, "Senior Yan, please accept my condolences."

Fellow Daoist Yan Nanfeng instructed me to save Brother Xiaoshan and the others first, which is why I was surrounded and killed by the evil cultivators. Fellow Daoist Nanfeng's belongings are here.

Before he could finish speaking...

The old man in the brocade robe couldn't wait any longer and reached for the storage bag, saying, "Give it to me."

"Wait!"

Liu Jing raised his hand to stop him, "If the storage bag is in my hands, I will definitely return it to its rightful owner."

But this was taken by Fellow Daoist Zhang at the risk of his life to kill the evil cultivator. If I let you take it away like this, people will only criticize me, Liu Jing, for being generous with other people's money.

"If Fellow Daoist Yan wants a storage bag, he must give Fellow Daoist Zhang a sum of spirit stones as a token of gratitude!"

This statement came out.

Some people echoed this sentiment.

"Fellow Daoist Liu, your righteousness is truly admirable! We deeply respect you!"

"Fellow Daoist Zhang is a good person! How can we let a good person suffer?"

"I heard that Yan Nanfeng is carrying the Golden Dragon Sword, which is a top-grade magic weapon."

"If it were me, I would definitely have kept the storage bag. Fellow Daoist Liu's noble character makes me feel utterly ashamed!"

Hearing these words of praise, Liu Jing felt incredibly comfortable from head to toe.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang is a gentleman of utmost righteousness, as I, Liu Jing, have said!"

Who's in favor? Who's against?

Zhang Yiyi is as righteous as the heavens.

So Liu Jing's wholehearted protection of Zhang Yi can be considered as speaking out for justice and upholding the righteous path!

Zhong Weiniang looked at Liu Jing with adoration and infatuation.
