158: Chapter 158 Demonic Cultivator and Sword Intent

Seeing Jiang Yuwei's clothing start to tear, Su Li hurriedly chose to turn around first.

Mo Zixing, however, did not have that thought.

His gaze remained on Jiang Yuwei, observing her state after the Breakthrough.

The afterglow of the setting sun spilled onto her, outlining the young girl's increasingly exquisite and well-defined silhouette.

In fact, Jiang Yuwei's original figure already surpassed that of most female Cultivators of the same age.

It was just that compared to the mature charm of Su Li and Liu Qingyan, she still seemed a bit too thin.

After this change, the Junior Sister's shoulder lines became a bit rounder.

Compared to her previous immaturity, she now possessed a bit more of the bright and moving charm unique to young girls.

The effect of the Creamy Papaya was surprisingly significant.

Some more time passed.

The spiritual energy around Jiang Yuwei's body began to be slowly absorbed back, all flowing into the crystal-clear Crystallization within her Dantian.

Her Aura steadily rose.

Finally, it successfully stopped at the Realm of the first level of the Crystallization Stage.

The Breakthrough was successful.

"Senior Brother, I had a Breakthrough!"

Jiang Yuwei excitedly opened her eyes, jumped up from the ground, and ran towards Mo Zixing.

But just as the Junior Sister threw herself into Mo Zixing's arms, she felt a chill all over her body.

Moreover, the feeling of the Senior Brother hugging her seemed a bit different from before.

Jiang Yuwei was stunned for a moment.

She looked down.

Only then did she discover that the clothing on her body had long since shattered into those few strips of cloth.

Hanging on her body, they couldn't cover much of her skin at all.

"Ah!"

Her little face instantly turned beet red, and she hurriedly used her hands to cover the torn parts of her clothes.

Her little feet also subconsciously rubbed against the ground, wishing she could find a crack to crawl into.

When she had the Breakthrough, all her attention was focused on her Dantian, so she didn't notice that her clothes had long been torn by the spiritual energy.

"Alright, don't be shy."

Mo Zixing held back his laughter.

He reached out and took his outer robe from the Storage Ring's space, gently draping it over the Junior Sister.

Inside the space of the Storage Ring.

Sect Master Bai Ruotong, in her sleep, only felt a lightness on her body, grumbled with dissatisfaction, but did not wake up.

In the courtyard of Qingdan Peak.

The large outer robe covered the Junior Sister completely, revealing only a little red face.

"Oh, right, Senior Brother."

She suddenly raised her head, a trace of confusion on her face:

"Just when I reached the most critical moment of my Breakthrough, I seemed to sense a very special Sword Intent coming from the west."

"That Sword Intent seemed to carry a biting Aura of slaughter, faint yet extremely sharp, as if it could pierce through one's heart."

Mo Zixing raised an eyebrow slightly, feeling a bit surprised.

Strange Sword Intent coming from the west?

Was there?

With his Divine Sense at the fifth level of the Golden Core, if he got serious, it was more than enough to cover the entire Qingdan Peak.

Yet he hadn't detected any fluctuations of Sword Intent at all.

Mo Zixing suddenly remembered.

On Jiang Yuwei's system panel, there was a red Luck trait called [Daughter of Luck].

Could this be the special ability of a Daughter of Destiny?

Was that Sword Intent a mysterious Opportunity she sensed, or some kind of danger?

He turned his head to look at Su Li and asked:

"Did you sense it?"

Su Li shook her head gently, her brows slightly furrowed, as she gripped the Qinglan Sword in her hand:

"I didn't sense it either."

"However, I have heard that the valley to the west has not been peaceful lately. It seems there are Demonic Cultivators appearing, and several people passing by have already gone missing."

"Demonic Cultivators usually have sinister methods; they are indeed hard to guard against."

Demonic Cultivators? Sword Intent?

Mo Zixing noted these two keywords in his heart.

If there really was some Opportunity, it would be a pity if someone else took it first.

Even if it really was a Demonic Cultivator, he couldn't let them cause trouble near the Mingyu Sect and threaten the safety of Su Li and the others.

After dealing with other matters, he would have to go see for himself.

Just at this moment.

A soft sound of footsteps came from afar.

Mo Zixing turned back to look and saw Liu Qingyan walking quickly towards here.

She was still wearing that same robe, her posture remained gentle and graceful, and a tender smile was on her clear and beautiful face.

"Revered Master."

Mo Zixing went up to greet her.

"Zixing, you are back."

Liu Qingyan walked up to him and reached out to gently brush the dust off his shoulders.

All these days, she had been worrying about Mo Zixing's safety every day. Now seeing him safe and sound, she finally heaved a sigh of relief:

"This trip to the Qingyun Sect must have been very dangerous, right? Were you injured?"

"I am fine, Revered Master."

Mo Zixing shook his head, feeling a slight warmth in his heart.

Her gaze quickly fell on Jiang Yuwei, and a look of pleasant surprise appeared in her eyes:

"Yuwei, has this reached the Crystallization Stage?"

"Not bad, the progress is indeed very fast. It seems you haven't been slacking off during this period."

"Thank you, Elder Liu!"

Jiang Yuwei smiled embarrassedly and wrapped the Senior Brother's outer robe tighter around herself.

"Oh, right, Revered Master."

Mo Zixing asked:

"Is it true that Demonic Cultivators have been running rampant in the valley west of the Sect recently?"

The smile on Liu Qingyan's face faded slightly, she nodded gently, her tone a bit heavy:

"It is indeed true."

"In the recent period, quite a few Cultivators have gone missing in that area, including several Outer Sect Disciples from our Mingyu Sect."

"The Sect has already sent two Elders with a few Disciples to investigate, but no useful news has been sent back yet."

"I see."

Mo Zixing nodded thoughtfully.

It seems he needs to go check the situation as soon as possible.

Danger is also an Opportunity.

After all, it was the Sword Intent that Jiang Yuwei sensed.

If there really were good things, and someone else happened to get them by chance, it would be a huge loss.

"Let's not talk about this."

Liu Qingyan showed a gentle smile again:

"After you and Great Elder Qin left, the other Elders in the Sect also successively sent gifts to celebrate your formation of the Heavenly Dao Golden Core."

"I didn't open them for you; I've kept them all in your room. You can go back and check them yourself later."

"Alright, thank you, Revered Master."

Mo Zixing nodded and fell silent for a moment.

Great Elder Qin Cangyue had always been loyal to the Sect, and before leaving, he had even specially given him his treasured Essence Wind Bamboo Armor.

He didn't expect that this trip to the Qingyun Sect would result in him never returning.

What a pity.

He raised his head, looked into Liu Qingyan's eyes, and said in a low voice:

"Revered Master, Great Elder Qin... will not be coming back."

"He was struck by the Alchemy Fire of the opposing Elder at the Qingyun Sect and sacrificed on the spot."
