Chapter 92 Midnight Attack

Some even went to other countries on the Southern Heaven Continent for training.

In short, every Inner Sect disciple’s journey is a fascinating travelogue.

It’s definitely not like the Outer Disciples or Servant Disciples who do trivial tasks in the sect every day.

Of course, this isn’t absolute; some Inner Sect disciples prefer to train within the sect.

Such people are rare, though, as the sect cannot supply unlimited resources for their cultivation.

To get more, they need to go out and compete for it!

As always, the Shenxiao Dao Sect doesn’t keep freeloaders!

"Everyone! Once we cross this mountain, we’ll be less than ten miles away from the cave. There’s no need for me to say more; you understand. Stay quiet from now on!"

At this moment, Xu Xun’s voice, low and clear, reached everyone’s ears.

Everyone’s hearts tightened; they fell silent immediately, following closely behind Brother Xu Xun and Brother Liang while making their breath as faint as possible.

Most of those present were Inner Sect disciples, who knew that within a ten-mile radius, it was already within the vigilance range of Qi Cultivation Realm cultivators; any slight movement might be detected.

However, this wasn’t absolute.

The members of the Shenxiao Dao Sect either had magical artifacts to conceal their aura, secret techniques, or profound strength to evade detection by tribulation cultivators.

But the Outer Disciples had no such means.

Xu Xun handed over a bottle of elixirs to the Law Enforcement Hall to distribute to the Outer Disciples.

"These are Turtle Breath Pills; they will suppress your aura to the level of insects and small animals for a day!"

As the Law Enforcement Hall disciple handed one elixir to Li Yunjing, he instructed.

"Yes, Brother!"

Li Yunjing glanced at the elixir, seeing others consuming theirs, he didn’t hesitate and swallowed the thumb-sized, green elixir.

The pill quickly dissolved in his body, and Li Yunjing immediately felt the effect, his aura significantly suppressed, becoming incredibly "weak."

This "weakness" was only superficial and did not affect Li Yunjing’s strength.

However, the effect would disappear once he took action.

"Indeed, it’s a good elixir!"

Li Yunjing didn’t look around, using solely his divine sense to investigate. Sure enough, the auras around him were extremely faint, but not as thin as the mentioned mosquito or ant levels.

To Li Yunjing, they had at least a normal person’s aura.

"That’s right! My divine sense is far superior to ordinary people, naturally giving different perceptions. Coupled with our close proximity, I have such feelings."

After pondering for a while, Li Yunjing understood the role of the Turtle Breath Pill, smiling faintly.

When the sun set and the sky darkened, they finally crossed the mountain.

"Tonight, we rest in this forest! At dawn, we’ll storm the cave and eliminate the tribulation cultivators!"

Once there, Xu Xun instructed everyone to hide themselves in the dense forest.

Everyone knew they were now less than three miles from the cave.

This was a very dangerous distance, and at this range, the disciples of the Shenxiao Dao Sect didn’t even dare to make a sound while walking.

During the long night, these Shenxiao Dao Sect disciples formed small groups as they rested.

Li Yunjing, Ma Ye, and Fairy Linghua formed a small group.

The Law Enforcement Hall members gathered together, also responsible for keeping watch.

The Inner Sect disciples Ma Ye introduced to Li Yunjing earlier also formed a group.

The others grouped in threes and fours.

Even in a small-scale operation, the forty-three disciples of the Shenxiao Dao Sect each had their own social circles.

Indeed, where there are people, there is a martial world.

That night, Li Yunjing didn’t choose to cultivate; instead, he lay in Fairy Linghua’s embrace, enjoying the luxurious pillow.

Ma Ye watched with envy, jealousy, and hatred!

Fairy Linghua was not just any ordinary woman; he couldn’t believe Li Yunjing was actually toying with her.

Recalling Li Yunjing’s close relationship with the Yu Family’s young lady, Ma Ye felt even more uncomfortable. "Damn it! How come all the good things happen to this kid Li Yunjing?"

Fairy Linghua’s expression darkened, being treated like this was maddening.

That damned scoundrel! Once dawn breaks and you’re alone, I’ll kill you!

Li Yunjing didn’t care; he just kept comfortable.

Before the action, he knew Fairy Linghua wouldn’t dare turn on him!

That night, the Shenxiao Dao Sect members quietly meditated and nurtured their minds, only the sound of the northern wind and the rustling of forest leaves and creeping insects breaking the silence.

In this dense forest, many poisonous insects came out at night.

Those insects were vicious; one sting could be fatal for ordinary people.

However, these Shenxiao Dao Sect disciples wore either Inner Sect magical robes or Outer Sect Daoist robes, which were either high-grade or top-grade magical artifacts, effectively repelling any insects.

The scorpions, centipedes, poisonous mosquitoes, and other creatures in the forest...

As soon as they approached the magical artifacts of the Shenxiao Dao Sect, they were shattered.

Only the rarest of exotic insects could harm a cultivator’s magical artifacts.

Thankfully, such creatures didn’t exist in this forest.

As for wild beasts, they posed no threat at all.

If secrecy were not a concern, any Outer Disciple could easily wipe out the wild beasts.

None of the animals, whether predatory or herbivorous, dared to approach the forest, sensing the threat posed by the group.

Li Yunjing lay completely relaxed on Fairy Linghua’s soft, plump thighs, resting his head on her. His eyes were slightly closed.

In his mind, he was contemplating the applications of various divine techniques.

Since arriving at the Youlan Mountain Range, Li Yunjing had been revising his previous simulations, meticulously recalculating different scenarios based on the surrounding environment.

Fairy Linghua, on the other hand, looked resigned, constantly thinking of ways to kill Li Yunjing.

Ma Ye had closed his eyes; he couldn’t bear to look at the infuriating pair.

Damn it, Li Yunjing and Fairy Linghua were going too far.

Ma Ye silently cursed in his heart.

Since the mutation in Li Yunjing’s consciousness, his spiritual will had grown exceptionally strong. His inner vision allowed him to see every detail of his muscles, blood, organs, and marrow, clear as day.

This comprehensive inner vision was far superior to before.

Any slightest change in his body was clearly observed.

Mastering every change in his body allowed Li Yunjing complete control over all his abilities, achieving perfect synchronization between mind and body with no delay.

With a single thought, he could instantly achieve whatever he desired.

His reaction speed was incredibly swift.

Li Yunjing was very pleased with his current state.

Under his inner vision, his entire body was flawless and undamaged.

True Essence constantly flowed through his meridians, nourishing his organs and muscles, all observed in great detail.

The only thing he couldn’t see clearly was his brain. Despite the mutation having created a burst of lightning that illuminated the murky darkness, it remained somewhat obscured.

Li Yunjing couldn’t yet clearly see the depths of his consciousness, unsure what secrets lay within.

What had caused the mutation in his consciousness?

Further development and higher cultivation levels were necessary to achieve an inner vision of his consciousness.

"Rustle, rustle!"

Suddenly, Li Yunjing’s ears twitched, as he heard a faint sound coming from about four miles away.

This sound was extremely subtle, seemingly different from the usual crawling insects and venomous creatures, having a distinct rhythm that seemed intentional.

"Could it be someone?"

Upon hearing the sound, Li Yunjing immediately tensed.

He remained with his eyes closed, but fully alert, ready to spring into action at any moment!

At this moment, in the camp, Xu Xun suddenly stood up.

Seeing his movement, several Law Enforcement Hall disciples who were on duty also stood up.

A Law Enforcement Hall disciple quietly approached Xu Xun and asked through sound transmission, "Brother, what’s the matter?"

"Something doesn’t seem right! Wake the others, but keep it quiet!"

Xu Xun didn’t look at him; his black armor blended into the darkness as his bright eyes watched the woods intently, trying to discern something.

"Yes!"

The Law Enforcement Hall disciple’s expression tightened. He quickly signaled to the other disciples on duty.

Without a word, the others understood.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

The Law Enforcement Hall disciples moved swiftly, first waking their fellow Hall members, then the Inner Sect disciples.

Soon, someone reached Li Yunjing’s group, "Get up, but don’t make a sound!"

This person couldn’t help but glance at Li Yunjing twice, envious that this Outer Sect kid got to use a beautiful woman as a pillow.

What was so special about this kid?

At this moment, Li Yunjing didn’t pretend to sleep anymore and quickly stood up.

Ma Ye and Fairy Linghua also got up.

As Fairy Linghua stood, her legs wobbled, almost stumbling if not for Li Yunjing’s support.

Her legs had gone numb from Li Yunjing lying on them.

Fairy Linghua gave him a fierce glare.

He laughed awkwardly, but felt no guilt, nor did he entertain any other thoughts.

Seeing everyone up, Xu Xun signaled to the Law Enforcement Hall disciples. The ten Hall members understood and quickly moved, forming an array in preparation for the possible battle.

"Are there enemies?"

Seeing this, both Inner Sect and Outer Disciples grew serious, grouping for battle.

Li Yunjing took a moment to observe; the Shenxiao Dao Sect disciples showed no fear, and some even had eager expressions.

Evidently, the confidence of being part of a major sect like Shenxiao made everyone believe that even if ambushed, they could slay the enemy and win.

Li Yunjing looked in the direction Xu Xun was watching.

In the far distance, amidst the darkness, something seemed to be slowly moving toward them.

The night was pitch-black; the clouds blocked the moon and stars, and the old mountain emitted miasma, making it hard to see four miles away.

In a normal area, Li Yunjing could easily see four miles ahead.

Everyone else felt the same; aside from Xu Xun, it was hard for anyone to see what lay ahead.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

Suddenly, they heard the sound of something breaking through the air.

Li Yunjing was startled, immediately moving behind Fairy Linghua, his mana surging, and the Cold Star Sword in his hand.
