Chapter 298: 179. This is what a Demon Cultivator looks like_2

This attack no doubt terrified Patrol Envoy Chen, prompting him to once again raise that magical artifact.

“I call upon the Crimson Spring Treasure Light!”

Patrol Envoy Chen shouted loudly.

The blood light reappeared, directly breaking through Tan Shuchang’s elemental energy hand.

Seeing the might of the “Crimson Spring Treasure Light,” Patrol Envoy Chen instantly felt reassured and then looked at Tan Shuchang with eyes filled with disdain and hatred.

“King Jinwu had already sought my help, yet you still killed him, showing complete disregard for me. Nevertheless, considering you are part of the lowly and inherently wicked, I will overlook this matter. But for you to strike at me, that is an unforgivable sin, you truly are courting death…”

As if listing Tan Shuchang’s crimes, Patrol Envoy Chen spoke coldly.

However, Tan Shuchang was not interested in hearing the rest.

So a blood shadow clone that had already arrived behind Patrol Envoy Chen snatched the gourd-like magical artifact from his hand.

Then, a streak of Bloody Sword Qi slashed across his neck.

There was no spray of blood, but Patrol Envoy Chen’s head had already fallen to the ground, eyes wide open in disbelief, as if he couldn’t believe that he had died so abruptly.

Seeing Patrol Envoy Chen die like this, several portly men changed their expressions dramatically.

“You actually dared to kill Brother Chen! Do you have any idea who Brother Chen is? You’ve committed a grave sin! You are undoubtedly going to die! Your family will also suffer for your actions, doomed indefinitely, cursing you for ten thousand years!” However, despite their shock, they still found the spirit to threaten Tan Shuchang.

Upon hearing this, the blood shadow clone threw the severed head in front of these men.

“I do not know the identity of this Brother Chen. As the saying goes, ‘Ignorance is not a sin,’ so this grave sin should not be upon me but should fall on you who knew. How about this, you’ve committed a grave sin and will implicate your family. Being naturally benevolent, I’ll just kill you and ensure your family members remain unharmed.”

Tan Shuchang’s voice rang out.

This time, he was looking at the men with a gentle smile on his face.

“Now thank Tan Someone for his benevolence!”

Upon hearing this, the men’s faces turned red with embarrassment. After all, with their status, they had never encountered such a situation before. But their reaction was quick, and the next second, they each chose a direction and fled.

Their methods of escape were all different.

Some used ordinary methods, seen soaring into the sky on their swords, not traveling ten miles in a flash but rising rapidly.

Some had strange methods, turning directly into a Mountain-Sea Beast, and as they ran, clouds were drawn in, forming layers of cloud steps.

Others had methods similar to Tan Shuchang’s, their bodies surging with blood light, turning into a bloody rainbow.

Tan Shuchang watched them flee but did not pursue them, as several blood shadow clones had already intercepted them and, without waiting for the men to react, had slain them on the spot.

However, there was an exception. It was the one who used a method similar to Tan Shuchang’s. The man bellowed, “I am the thirty-seventh generation descendant of High Immortal Crimson Spring Child. If you kill me, the High Immortal Crimson Spring Child will never let you off!”

Nevertheless, Tan Shuchang’s blood shadow clone did not delay, taking advantage of his distraction to immediately take his life.

So you see, when you’re running away, you need to concentrate, and you should not make empty threats.

By now, Tan Shuchang, who had wiped out all the humans and ghosts in the area, had already found the treasure of this place.

It was a peach tree with a body radiating seven colors.

On the peach tree hung seven peaches, each with only one color. Among them, three peaches were ripe, while the other four were not yet mature.

This would mean two rounds for those people and ghosts.

But to Tan Shuchang, he didn’t care whether they were ripe or not, he simply uprooted the tree.

Then, Tan Shuchang looked toward the white bones.

Indeed, the bones began the same action as before, and in an instant, they vanished without a trace. At the same time, the Soul Flag sent a message.

It was the message that the bones had found another treasure.

However, with these two experiences, Tan Shuchang first sensed the area, and upon discovering that the place suppressed his own perceptive abilities, he sent a blood shadow clone ahead.

Then, the blood shadow clone saw the treasure as well as the ghosts lurking all around.

The ghosts were setting up a cauldron at that time.

Beside the cauldron were cages woven from green vines, and in those cages were children.

But these ghost creatures set up the cauldron not for their own satisfaction.

Because compared to blood food, they still prefer gold and candle offerings.

The cauldron that was used to brew a soup with precious medicinal leaves to cook these children was in fact for entertaining a few cultivators who were present.

These cultivators also had the appearance of being large and round.

They had oily, glowing skin, a rosy complexion, and an air of wealth about them. Every movement they made was distinguished and sophisticated, clearly of those who had long been in high positions.

However, they also looked as if they were cast from the same mold as those who had been slain by Tan Shuchang earlier.

And so, Tan Shuchang made his appearance.

…

Primordial Heavenly Realm.

Just moments before, when the person claiming to be the thirty-seventh descendant of Crimson Spring Child, a High Immortal, was slain by Tan Shuchang’s Bloody Sword Qi Incarnation, some disturbance rippled through that mysterious Long River.

In this Long River, light and darkness were in constant rotation, when the light reached its zenith it would evolve into darkness, and when darkness reached its zenith, it would turn back into light.

Here stood a palace invisible to ordinary cultivators.

In the palace, a young man with a beauty surpassing all women looked down upon the Land of the Four Pillars, his eyes revealing a whirlwind of emotions.

“My dear brother, you really do have a ruthless heart. You’ve even killed my thirty-seventh great-grandson without hesitation…”

So spoke the man.

However, while he said this, his words obviously carried a different implication.

If he could, he would actually like to use this as a reason to “righteously eradicate kin”, to kill this “dear brother” that was transforming into an Immortal Path Creature.

But unfortunately, he couldn’t.

Not because he liked to follow the rules.

But because the Crimson Spring Path wouldn’t allow it, and the Path of Many Evils, represented by his mother, would not permit it either.

When a creature begins its transformation into an Immortal Path Creature, and there is already an Immortal Path Creature on this “Path”, then that Immortal Path Creature must patiently wait until the other’s transformation is complete before it can make a move against them.

If not, the Crimson Spring Path will start to sever ties with him and directly bestow powers to give birth to another Immortal Path Creature.

Immortal Path Creatures can become powerful enough to exceed the limits of their own Path.

But Immortal Path Creatures are always bound by the rules of the Dao.

…

Tan Shuchang successfully harvested the third type of precious medicine; as for the corpses on the ground and the vanished Yin God apparitions, these were not worth spending too much ink on.

Then, Tan Shuchang turned his attention to a certain set of white bones.

He was checking to see if there was a fourth location.

But this time, the bones no longer responded.

So, Tan Shuchang reluctantly carried the bones back. At the same time, he gave an order through the No-Lead Soul Banner, telling the other bones to return as well.

Unlike this set of bones, the others had not gone far, still wandering around Ghostly Ridge.

It was clear that only this one was special.

As for why these bones hadn’t revealed themselves before and even appeared somewhat dull, that was understandable. It was like asking a wealthy man to work like a common man and start all over again; such a rich man simply wouldn’t be able to become wealthy again, for their every waking moment would be consumed with just making ends meet.

It was the same with this particular set of bones.

No matter how special, constantly disturbed by the other bones, it had no chance to demonstrate its uniqueness.

What’s more, it was also lacking the most basic resources.

Tan Shuchang’s impulsive act had in fact perfectly compensated for what these bones had always been missing. Therefore, the first order of business after returning was to refine these bones into the “main soul” of the No-Lead Soul Banner.

That’s just the way of a Demon Cultivator.
