29: Chapter 29 The Demonic Cultivator Disappeared? Returning to the Sect

"She actually chased after him!"

Wentai's expression changed drastically.

After his previous exchange with that female Righteous Path Cultivator, he was certain that the other party must be a Core Formation Prodigy from some Righteous Path Sect.

Given his current condition, if he were to fight her, he would definitely perish and his Dao would be destroyed.

Without waiting for Wang Jing to react, he immediately grabbed him and fled on his flying sword!

Meanwhile, the owner of the previous voice let out an angry shout and hurriedly gave chase once more.

Not long after the three of them left, another figure arrived in the forest.

"Where are they?"

Bai Yunzhou looked at the severed ropes on the ground and was momentarily stunned.

You must know that Blood-Faced Old Demon had his cultivation crippled by him just moments ago, his hand and foot tendons severed, and even his Storage Pouch had been taken away.

How could the other party possibly escape?

Could it be that someone came to rescue him?

Thinking of this, he immediately became vigilant, releasing his Divine Sense to survey his surroundings.

However, after careful observation, there was no trace of anyone around.

After confirming there was no danger, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, his expression sank.

"I didn't expect that even after crippling Blood-Faced Old Demon's cultivation and severing his hand and foot tendons, I still let him escape!"

At the same time, he also recalled the intelligence he had gathered during his previous encounter with the other party.

The other party was a Disciple of a Nascent Soul powerhouse from the Moyun Sect.

Now that the other party had successfully escaped, they definitely wouldn't let today's matter rest.

More importantly, after disguising himself and arriving in Luoyue City, he was targeted by the other party.

Clearly, there was some kind of tracking mark on him.

And it hadn't been erased even after half a year.

"It seems that if I go out again in the future, I'm afraid I must be extremely careful."

After all, he had exposed all his strength this time just to barely subdue the other party.

If the other party attacked him again next time, they would definitely be fully prepared and extremely cautious.

"It seems this place is not suitable for a long stay; I must hurry back to the Sect."

Thinking of this, he stopped lingering and flew on his flying sword toward the direction of the Qingxuan Sect.

In the blink of an eye, several days passed.

Bai Yunzhou finally returned to the Qingxuan Sect, with no accidents happening along the way.

As soon as he returned, he saw Zhou Zhiting busy cooking.

He exchanged a brief greeting with her and then asked if there was any news from Revered Master's side.

Unfortunately, there was none.

But come to think of it, that made sense.

The Blood Demon Sect was quite far from the Qingxuan Sect, so just the journey alone would take quite some time.

Now that more than ten days had passed, how could news arrive so quickly?

Thus, after greeting her, he prepared to return to his room, but was called to a halt by Zhou Zhiting.

"Right, Senior Brother, after you left, the Sect Master came looking for you, saying that when you return, you should go to his place. It seems the Sect's Old Ancestor wants to see you."

"The Sect's Old Ancestor wants to see me?"

Bai Yunzhou was slightly stunned.

Then he thought of his test results at the Martial Arts Arena before he left.

Presumably, it was precisely because of this that he caught the attention of the Sect's Old Ancestor.

"Do you know which Old Ancestor it is?"

Within the Qingxuan Sect, there were a total of three Nascent Soul Old Ancestors.

One in the Mid Nascent Soul stage and two in the Early Nascent Soul stage.

"It seems to be Patriarch Xing Zhan."

Zhou Zhiting said thoughtfully.

Patriarch Xing Zhan?

Isn't this the Sect's Mid Nascent Soul Old Ancestor?

Bai Yunzhou had heard Zhou Zhiting mention before that Liu Qingmo was currently cultivating under this person.

Could this Old Ancestor be looking for me because of Liu Qingmo's matter?

Bai Yunzhou pondered for a moment and decided to go after tallying the harvest of this trip later.

"Alright, I know about this."

With that, he went straight to the cultivation room, closed the door, and began to tally his gains from this trip.

First was that Medium Grade spiritual armor.

Although this spiritual armor had previously taken a blow from that Foundation Establishment Cultivator of the Qin Family, causing severe damage, and most of the Formations inscribed on it were destroyed...

...but as long as he went to the Sect's Weapon Forging Pavilion and spent some Spirit Stones, it could still be restored.

It was just that he wasn't clear how many Spirit Stones were needed to repair a Medium Grade spiritual armor in the Sect.

"It seems I'll have to go inquire about it later."

Bai Yunzhou pondered for a moment and took out 100 porcelain bottles from his Storage Pouch.

Each bottle contained 100 drops of ten-thousand-year spiritual milk.

This item could definitely be considered a treasure even to Nascent Soul old freaks.

"With these ten-thousand-year spiritual milk, within two months, I will definitely Breakthrough to the Mid Foundation Establishment!"

A trace of joy appeared on Bai Yunzhou's face.

Previously, it took him more than ten days to Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment.

Now that he went out and spent another dozen days or so, there were at most two months left until the three-month deadline.

"However, what I am currently cultivating is still a Qi Refining Cultivation Technique. If I can change it to a Foundation Establishment Cultivation Technique, I suppose the refinement speed will increase a lot."

Bai Yunzhou felt that when he came back later, he could make another trip to the Scripture Pavilion to see if he could find a suitable Foundation Establishment Cultivation Technique.

After all, he had previously consumed the Enlightenment Fruit.

Although the temporary effect of the Enlightenment Fruit had passed now, his Comprehension Ability was far from being as terrifying as it was back then.

But it was still countless times stronger than before.

Presumably, mastering a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivation Technique wouldn't take much time either.

Then he took out another Storage Pouch from his bosom.

This was what he obtained from Blood-Faced Old Demon.

"When this old demon fought with me earlier, the treasures he took out were extraordinary. I suppose there must be quite a few good things in this Storage Pouch of his."

Bai Yunzhou thought to himself, and took out the things inside.

Among them, two items were extremely familiar to him: a blood-red cloak and a bead emitting dense Devilish Qi.

It was just that these two items were already badly damaged and couldn't even be repaired.

This made Bai Yunzhou feel quite regretful.

After all, he had personally experienced the power of these two treasures back then and knew how terrifying they were.

Besides these, he also discovered some other treasures inside.

They were all ordinary Magical Artifacts, and not a single one was a Spiritual Artifact.

Moreover, these treasures were more or less stained with blood stains, which he supposed Blood-Faced Old Demon had obtained through ways like robbing along the road.

"These things are stolen goods and cannot be used normally at all; otherwise, they will easily attract trouble if one is not careful."

Bai Yunzhou decided to find an opportunity later to send them to the underground market to dispose of them.

Apart from these treasures, there were of course some usable things inside, such as Medicinal Pills and the like.

Suddenly, he discovered a Jade Slip among them.

Recorded on it was a basic palm technique of the Moyun Sect, named Moyun Palm.

According to the description in the Jade Slip, although this Moyun Palm was merely a basic Cultivation Technique of the Moyun Sect, its power was quite remarkable.

More importantly, targets struck by the Moyun Palm would leave behind a Moyun Mark inside their bodies.

Anyone who cultivated the Moyun Sect's Cultivation Technique could sense the existence of this mark within their Divine Sense range.

"I suppose it was precisely by relying on this method that Blood-Faced Old Demon was able to recognize me at a glance when he encountered me."

Back then, when his Realm plummeted and his Foundation was destroyed, it was precisely from taking this palm strike from the other party.

Thinking of this, Bai Yunzhou suddenly froze.

Since the Moyun Palm was a basic Cultivation Technique of the Moyun Sect, presumably all demonic Cultivators of the Moyun Sect cultivated it.

Doesn't this mean that as long as he encountered Disciples of the Moyun Sect in the future, he would be directly identified as an enemy by them?

"It seems I must find a way to track down the mark inside my body and resolve it."

Bai Yunzhou continued to browse the related content of the Moyun Palm in the Jade Slip, but unfortunately there was no method to remove the mark.

Fortunately, he would not leave the Sect in the short term, so he didn't need to worry too much about encountering Moyun Sect Cultivators.

After tallying everything properly, he finally left the cultivation room.

Inquiring about the location of the Sect's Main Hall from Zhou Zhiting, he then flew away on his flying sword.

Arriving at the mountain where the Sect's Main Hall was located, he landed from his flying sword and wanted to go straight inside, but unexpectedly was stopped by the gate-guarding Disciples.

"Halt, ahead is the Sect's Main Hall, unauthorized personnel are not allowed inside."

Bai Yunzhou hurriedly explained the purpose of his visit.

Among them, the slightly taller gate-guarding Disciple looked him up and down with doubt in his eyes.

However, when the other person learned his name, their eyes lit up, and they immediately spoke politely.

"I am Liu Hao, I wonder if Junior Brother can take out your identity token for Senior Brother to verify."

Bai Yunzhou hurriedly complied. After confirming his identity, Liu Hao immediately became even more polite.

He even handed the identity token back with both hands while saying.

"So it really is Junior Brother Bai. Please wait a moment while I report this to the Sect Master."

"Sorry to trouble Senior Brother Liu."

Liu Hao hurriedly took out a sound-transmission Jade Slip to notify the Sect Master.

Very soon, Sikong Jian personally came to the entrance and saw Bai Yunzhou at a glance.

First, he looked him up and down, a strange look flashing in his eyes.

"I didn't expect that just a little over a month, this kid's strength would undergo such a huge change!"

You must know that during the previous Outer Sect Test, Elder Zhou Mu led Bai Yunzhou to charge into the Du Family.

When he went to save the day, he had indeed seen Bai Yunzhou, and naturally knew what his strength was like before.

Compared to now, one could say it was a world of difference.

This speed of strength enhancement could be called terrifying.

It seems in the Seven Sects Trials a year later, his Qingxuan Sect will take first place.

Thinking of this, his attitude towards Bai Yunzhou became a bit more amiable, and he said with a smile.

"You little fellow, you're finally back. Come with me, Patriarch Xing Zhan wants to see you."

With that, he waved his sleeve and left with Bai Yunzhou.

Seeing the Sect Master and Bai Yunzhou leave, both gate-guarding Disciples breathed a sigh of relief.

"Who on earth is this Bai Yunzhou? He is merely at the Early Foundation Establishment Realm, yet he can make the Sect Master personally come out to welcome him and be so polite?"

Liu Hao rolled his eyes at his partner.

"Do you know whose Disciple he is?"

The partner on the side shook his head.

"He is a Disciple recently taken in by Elder Zhou Mu."

"A month ago, a direct descendant of the Du Family offended this Junior Brother Bai, and Elder Zhou Mu personally led people to slaughter their way into the Du Family, and the Du Family didn't even dare to let out a fart."

"And half a month ago, this Junior Brother Bai went to the Martial Arts Arena to test his Foundation, and directly went on the leaderboard with his Early Foundation Establishment Realm cultivation."

"That Cao Xun from the Cao Family wanted to make him a follower, but was heavily injured by a single punch from him, and now he doesn't even dare to let out a fart."

"You say, how can a Prodigy like this be someone the likes of you and me can afford to offend?"

After Liu Hao finished speaking, his partner belatedly realized that he had almost offended such a Prodigy just now.

At the same time, he also firmly remembered Bai Yunzhou's appearance to avoid offending him in the future.
