Immortal Life: Starting with Daily Last Words

Chapter 99 Kill

The following evening, at the summit of Jinyang Mountain.

Yu Daoxuan watched Tie Ting and his group disappear into the horizon before turning his gaze to the sixty or seventy fellow disciples who were fully prepared for battle.

Among these people, there were twenty cultivators at the late stage of Qi Refining.

Several of them were familiar faces, such as Zhu Hongyi, Zhou Keyi, He Zhixia, Wei Lanzhi, Zheng Bao, and others.

In addition, there were more than forty disciples at the mid-stage of Qi Refining who accompanied them.

Yu Daoxuan walked to a spot not far in front of the disciples and deliberately released the aura and pressure of a ninth-level Qi Refining cultivator.

He always kept a low profile in the sect. Although he was somewhat famous for his talisman skills, several senior disciples standing opposite him had far more experience than him. If he didn't show some of his cultivation, it was hard to guarantee that some of them would disobey him.

Facing the intense gazes of the crowd, Yu Daoxuan remained calm and spoke in a booming voice.

"The Cai family of Yiping colluded with demon cultivators of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect to harm countless infants and make Blood Infant Pills. Such evil deeds are unforgivable."

"Today we are heading to the Cai family and are determined to wipe them out to uphold the prestige of our sect. Fellow disciples, please obey our orders strictly and do not act without authorization."

"I will obey my senior brother's orders!"

The lower-ranking disciples responded in unison, their voices imposing.

Standing in the crowd, He Zhixia looked at Yu Daoxuan, who was now exuding an air of arrogance, and felt a mix of emotions.

Most of the recent sea patrol missions were assigned and dispatched by her according to the wishes of the three chief elders.

In terms of seniority, she was the most senior among them, and logically she should have been in charge of this mission.

But she knew in her heart that she had been implicated and lost her position because she had offended some of the higher-ups because of her brother's affair.

Yu Daoxuan saw all of this.

Of the six disciples who were all at the ninth level of Qi Refining, only Zhu Hongyi, Zhou Junyi, and Zhou Keji spoke up in agreement, while the other three remained silent.

Without another word, he said in a deep voice, "Prepare to depart!"

Before he finished speaking, he raised his hand and patted the storage bag at his waist.

A burst of bluish-white light suddenly bloomed, and the palm-sized spirit ship swelled in the wind, instantly transforming into a spirit ship several dozen feet long, which hovered steadily in mid-air.

Ordinary first-tier spirit ships can only carry eleven or twelve people at most, while second-tier spirit ships can accommodate hundreds of people. Sixty or seventy people are more than enough for this trip.

This second-tier low-grade spirit ship was temporarily lent to him by Cao Can. Its flight speed far exceeds that of ordinary spirit ships, and at full speed, it can rival the escape speed of a Foundation Establishment early stage cultivator.

Yu Daoxuan's figure flickered, transforming into a stream of light and landing steadily on the spirit ship.

The other disciples followed suit, leaping into the boat one after another.

After everyone had boarded the ship, Yu Daoxuan activated the spirit ship, set off with the formation, and soared into the sky towards Yiping Island.

Yiping Island is more than 600 li away from Jinyang Island.

Two hours later, the group arrived at the waters near Yiping Island in their spirit boat.

To avoid being discovered by the Cai family, Yu Daoxuan put away the spirit boat and led his disciples to sneak towards the Cai family under the cover of night.

As night deepened, the moon shone brightly and the wind howled—perfect time for murder.

The Cai family's ancestral home is located on the Yi River in the center of Yiping Island.

The cultivators of the clan lived on the Crescent Moon Island in the middle of the river, while the mortals of the Cai family mostly lived on both sides of the riverbank.

During his month-long sea patrol, Yu Daoxuan had already thoroughly investigated the situation of the nearby cultivation forces.

The Cai family currently has more than fifty cultivators, including ten late-stage Qi Refining cultivators. The most powerful cultivators are the clan leader Cai Fuguang and the eldest elder Cai Fuming, both at the ninth level of Qi Refining.

The remaining forty-odd Qi Refining cultivators in the early and middle stages are not a threat.

Before long, Yu Daoxuan and his party arrived at a dense forest by the Yi River.

He instructed his disciples to stop and rest for the time being, and then sent ten of his fellow disciples, including He Zhixia and Zheng Bao, to lie in ambush on both sides of the riverbank to prevent any escapees from getting away.

After making the arrangements, he led the remaining disciples and, under the cover of night, quietly made their way to Xieyue Island in the middle of the river.

The area around Xieyue Island spans dozens of miles, and the group quietly made their way to the edge of the island in the middle of the river.

Yu Daoxuan transmitted his voice to Zhu Hongyi and a senior brother named Cheng Man: "Senior Brother Zhu, Senior Brother Cheng, I would like to trouble you two to quietly go and take care of the cultivators guarding the Cai family's gate."

Although his side was far stronger than the enemy, Yu Daoxuan was always cautious in his actions.

Zhu Hongyi and Cheng Mansu are known for their agility and speed, making them perfect for carrying out such surprise assassination missions.

The Cai family built over a hundred pavilions and buildings on the island, which stretch in a north-south direction, resembling an ancient-style town.

Moments later, the two early-stage Qi Refining cultivators outside the south gate of the Cai family fell silently at the hands of the two men, without even having time to send out a warning signal.

Yu Daoxuan strode towards the gate, coldly surveying the Cai family's protective formation.

In order to achieve a swift victory, he immediately ordered, "Fellow disciples, follow me to break the formation."

As soon as he finished speaking, he unhesitatingly summoned the Chongming Sword, channeling his inner energy into the sword like a tidal wave, and fiercely slashed at the array light barrier.

The other disciples of the Qingyuan Sect also unleashed their most skilled attack techniques.

In an instant, various magical powers intertwined like a rainbow, suddenly piercing the night sky.

The Cai family's island-protecting formation is a first-grade high-quality defensive formation. When fully activated, it can withstand the combined attack of three or four Qi Refining Level 9 cultivators.

However, the island's protective array is usually only kept half-open to save on spirit stone expenses, and is only fully activated when attacked.

Yu Daoxuan's trip was secretive and cautious, and his arrival was sudden. The formation was still in a semi-activated state, making it much easier to break through.

"boom!"

After several rounds of attacks, the array's light barrier trembled violently.

Ultimately, like shattered glass, it transformed into a shower of light and vanished without a trace.

The loud crash of the shattering formation instantly alerted all the Cai family cultivators on the island.

"Everyone, follow me and kill!"

Yu Daoxuan let out a low shout, his magical power surging as he used his Wind Control Technique to ride the wind and gallop towards the main hall of the Cai family.

The other cultivators of the Qingyuan Sect followed closely behind, their magical artifacts gleaming with a chilling light, their killing intent soaring to the heavens.

""

The atmosphere inside the main hall of the Cai family was solemn.

Clan Chief Cai Fuguang stood in the main seat, his face somber. He looked at the First Elder Cai Fuming beside him and asked in a deep voice, "First Elder, have all the talented young members of the clan been properly relocated?"

Cai Fuming, whose hair and beard were both white, bowed slightly upon hearing this, his tone tinged with sadness and weariness.

"They have been secretly sent away in batches, but they are causing some trouble over there and don't understand the clan leader's good intentions."

Upon hearing this, Cai Fuguang sighed softly, his worries lingering in his heart.

He had been worried ever since he chose to join the Ten Thousand Demons Sect.

A few days ago, the family's spirit ship carried a large number of Blood Infant Pills to Fuchan Island, but there has been no news of them since.

During the days when he had lost contact with anyone, he tossed and turned every night, unable to sleep, and his ominous premonition grew stronger.

"Sigh, is it really worth joining the Ten Thousand Demons Sect for a single Yuan Sha Pill?"

The First Elder, Cai Fuming, gazed at the clan leader before him, whom the clansmen called wise and mighty, and sighed softly.

The other party is the most talented person in the family in the past hundred years. He claims to have a mid-grade spiritual root, but in fact he has a high-grade spiritual root.

However, the Foundation Establishment stage was like an insurmountable chasm, firmly blocking his path of cultivation.

Without Foundation Establishment Elixir or Foundation Establishment Pill, achieving Foundation Establishment is extremely difficult, and may even result in serious injury.

By the time Cai Fuming noticed something amiss, the other party had secretly defected to the Blood Refining Hall of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect in order to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

In order to obtain the Yuan Sha Pill that could help them break through the Foundation Establishment barrier, the entire Cai family had no choice but to embark on a path of no return.

To avoid detection by the Qingyuan Sect, the Blood Infant Pills initially produced were made using mortal infants from the Cai family.

"It's worth it, of course it's worth it."

Faced with the elder's questioning, Cai Fuguang's gaze suddenly hardened, a hint of obsession and ruthlessness flashing in his eyes.

"Now that the Blood Refining Hall Master has bestowed upon me the Yuan Sha Pill, I only need to switch to cultivating the Heavenly Demon Secret Technique to successfully establish my foundation by consuming the pill."

"At that time, my Cai family will become a Foundation Establishment power, no longer needing to be bullied by other Foundation Establishment powers. Instead, we will be the ones to bully other Qi Refining powers."

Cai Fuming looked at his stubborn and resolute appearance and was about to say something more when he was interrupted by a deafening bang.

The entire Cai family estate trembled violently, and tiles from the roof of the palace fell in a flurry.
