NOVEL WEB Chapter 154.2
Li Tianyan found a dying woman in a cave where an evil cultivator was on the fifth level of Qi Condensation. The woman’s body was covered only by a rag, and the exposed areas were covered with scars. Her pupils were so dilated that she might not survive until tomorrow.
Cheng Qi couldn’t help but widen his eyes when he saw this. Although he had seen similar scenes many times in Li Tianyan’s memory, it was still hard to accept that it was happening right in front of his eyes.
Subsequently, similar situations were discovered in other caves one after another. Li Tianyan guessed that these were the people the fishermen outside had said they would deal with tomorrow.
As he was thinking this, he saw several low-level evil cultivators coming in with sacks and pulling the women in the cave into them. Li Tianyan couldn’t help but frown at this sight.
As the spiritual eye went deeper, the evil cultivators appearing in the cave became stronger, and more and more women were found and captured. There were even female cultivators among them.
Cheng Qi couldn’t bear to look at some of the scenes in the cave, but Li Tianyan kept staring intently, searching the entire cave of the Hehuan Sect. Even the evil cultivator at the peak of Foundation Establishment didn’t notice Li Tianyan peeking.
Li Tianyan’s brows furrowed tighter and tighter. For some reason, the closer to the day of action, the more he felt that something was going to happen, so he didn’t dare to be careless and observed carefully. Finally, he discovered a problem in a dungeon.
After seeing that person, Li Tianyan felt a little calmer. Although he didn’t know what her purpose was, the situation in the cave did not allow for any further hesitation, so he could only act quickly.
Li Tianyan took out a few jade slips and drew a detailed picture of the situation in the cave. The evil cultivator’s cave was like an ant nest with many side roads. To save time, Li Tianyan divided the team into ten groups for action.
These cultivators all had people they knew well, and they were quickly divided into ten small groups, with one person selected as the group leader. Li Tianyan handed ten storage bags to these people and told them the action plan.
Several team leaders took out the jade slips from their storage bags and found that it was a map of the Hehuan Sect’s cave, which was much more detailed than the one the sect had given them. Even the number and cultivation levels of evil cultivators in each cave were clearly recorded, as if Li Tianyan had just come out of the evil sect cave.
Moreover, each jade slip marked a different route. The team leaders immediately understood that these were the passages they were to take.
Li Tianyan waited until they all understood, then took out a black robe, put it on, and took a Hidden Silence Pill. The others did the same.
Hidden from the eyes of the villagers on Hongdao Island, the team went straight to the door of the Hehuan Sect. The restrictions on the door were easily unlocked by Li Tianyan, and everyone sneaked into the cave silently.
Li Tianyan and Cheng Qi were walking in front, but they suddenly stopped after walking for a while, and the others also stopped. Not long after, the conversation of two evil cultivators came from far and near.
“These mortals are really useless. They have only been here for a short time, and they’re already no good. It’s not our turn yet.”
“There are so many people in the sect, we can only wait for our turn. Besides, haven’t we caught the female cultivator? When will it be our turn?”
“Why don’t we send these women out tonight, then let’s go across the sea to have some fun and improve our cultivation as soon as possible. It will up for us to decide how many female cultivators we want in the future.”
“Okay, we might as well go out and eat something good.”
As soon as they finished speaking, the two evil cultivators were struck by two silver needles that penetrated their heads. Their bodies couldn’t even react, and they took two more steps forward before suddenly falling to the ground.
To avoid revealing his whereabouts, Li Tianyan put away the two corpses before continuing to walk inside. He met low-level evil cultivators along the way, and they were all dealt with quickly and quietly.
The others followed quietly, and even Sang Zixin, who usually loved joking the most, had a serious face at this time. Every time they passed a fork, a team would break away and go on their own mission.
.
In the end, only Li Tianyan and Cheng Qi were left. Their target was the leader of the Hehuan Sect deep in the cave. Where that guy lived, several female Qi Condensations who had just been captured were imprisoned. Li Tianyan saw that there were still some who could be saved.
Because of the effect of the Hidden Silence Pill, they walked in the passage of the Hehuan Sect undetected by the evil cultivators passing by. Any low-level qi-condensation evil cultivators they encountered either had their foreheads pierced by a silver needle or their souls devoured by the nether fire submerged in the sea of consciousness.
The two of them got rid of many disciples of the Hehuan Sect along the way and also met people who were captured. Unfortunately, they rescued three people in a row, but the people were all exhausted and the two had no choice but to temporarily find a hole to settle them down.
After killing the evil cultivator in a cave, a shuanger, who was laying on the stone bed, looked at the two of them with deathly eyes and said dryly, “Kill me.”
Seeing that he was still conscious, Cheng Qi took out a cloak and covered him with it. He looked up at Li Tianyan for help with a confused look on his face.
Although the shuanger’s condition was better than the three just now, he could only survive for ten days at most. These ten days would only be torture for him, but if he wanted to kill an innocent person, Cheng Qi hesitated.
Li Tianyan took out a pill and gave it to Cheng Qi, “Let him decide for himself.”
The shuanger seemed to understand Li Tianyan’s meaning and picked up the pill without hesitation, swallowing it in one gulp. Upon seeing this, Cheng Qi could only stand up and leave silently. There were still many people who had just been captured in the cave waiting for them to rescue, and they could not stay here for too long.
