Incredible Sect Simulator-Chapter 636 - 604: Reward in Hand

"Ah!"

A wretched scream from Wei Zicang echoed from underground, sounding particularly pleasing to the ears.

At this moment, merely by listening, a cultivator could locate Wei Zicang's hiding place.

Lu Yuanshan also knew that his attack had obviously struck Wei Zicang.

Sure enough, with a loud crash, a large cloud of dust soared into the sky, and a figure burst out from the underground.

From the form and posture, it was clearly Wei Zicang.

Two Golden Spirit Mother and Child Blades were stuck in his body, piercing his shoulders, blood streaming profusely.

Ignoring Lu Yuanshan and his own injuries, he performed a secret escape technique, expending his vital blood, turning his head and flying towards the distant sky.

With the support of this secret technique, his speed almost turned him into an afterimage, a red light streaking across the heavens and earth.

Yet even so, this was simply a minor trick in front of Lu Yuanshan.

Lu Yuanshan effortlessly performed the Purple Extreme Escape Light, transforming himself into a streak of purple light, catching up to Wei Zicang in an instant with a flash.

As Lu Yuanshan wielded a torrent of crystallization-stage magical power, this power surged towards Wei Zicang like a tidal wave.

Wei Zicang didn't have time to dodge, completely engulfed by the crystal power, as if suppressed by mountains from all sides, trapped tightly in midair.

"Fellow Daoist! Fellow Daoist! I don't believe I've offended you, why do you pursue me relentlessly?"

"Can we not discuss and resolve any grievances?"

Facing imminent death, Wei Zicang finally lost his composure, hastily pleading for mercy, a cunning glint flashing in his eyes.

Being ensnared by Lu Yuanshan's magical power, he believed he had no chance of escape.

"Why kill you?"

Lu Yuanshan responded, a glint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

He manipulated the crystallized magical power like a giant hand, binding Wei Zicang tightly, rendering him completely immobile, unable to mobilize his inner magical power.

This caused Wei Zicang's expression to change subtly, trying once more to break free, to no avail.

This only made him more acutely aware of the gap between himself and the crystallization stage.

"Speak freely, senior!"

Wei Zicang said, having already changed his address from "fellow Daoist" to "senior," showing his dread of Lu Yuanshan.

Glancing around, he saw Song Minghui and other disciples slaying demon cultivators, clearly gaining the upper hand in the battle, so Lu Yuanshan wasn't in a hurry to kill Wei Zicang.

"Do you remember him?"

Lu Yuanshan took out a portrait of Li Zonghe from his Storage Bag and unfolded it in front of Wei Zicang.

The portrait displayed Li Zonghe's naive and appealing face, looking only in his early twenties, with a hint of youthful innocence.

Wei Zicang, upon seeing the portrait, recognized Li Zonghe and a trace of panic flickered in his eyes.

In the next instant, he feigned ignorance, pretending not to recognize him.

"What's the meaning of this, senior?"

He naturally recognized Li Zonghe in the portrait.

Moreover, he recalled the scene when he killed Li Zonghe back then.

It turned out the other party was seeking vengeance for a friend or disciple.

In that case, he couldn't possibly admit it.

Concession meant no chance for survival.

"Feigned ignorance."

Lu Yuanshan's eyes revealed killing intent, obviously seeing through Wei Zicang's pretense.

The crystallization magic enveloping Wei Zicang grew stronger at Lu Yuanshan's command, pressing Wei Zicang's face red, his expression pained.

"Mercy, senior, mercy!"

Wei Zicang pleaded urgently, pained and begging for mercy.

Lu Yuanshan remained unmoved, showing no signs of relenting.

He wanted to see whether Wei Zicang's resolve or tongue would give in first.

"Whether he speaks makes no difference."

"I can use the Soul-Searching Technique to find the answers you need, Father."

Lu Ping's voice sounded, and without waiting for Lu Yuanshan's response, he commenced the Soul-Searching Technique to probe Wei Zicang's memory.

"No..."

Sensing a Divine Thought invading his body and mind, scrutinizing his soul and memory, Wei Zicang showed extreme fear.

"What are you doing?!"

What kind of method was this, able to extract soul memories! Unbelievable!

"Mercy, senior, mercy!" 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Wei Zicang pleaded desperately, completely panicked.

Lu Ping remained impassive, and in a moment, despite Wei Zicang's last panicked cries, completed the memory extraction.

Wei Zicang, after being subjected to the Soul-Search, had a damaged soul, leaving him in a dazed state without any resistance, ripe for slaughter.

"You may execute him."

Lu Ping instructed Lu Yuanshan to kill him.

Schlock!

Lu Yuanshan, understanding, immediately acted, and the powerful crystallization magic crushed Wei Zicang, utterly destroying him, filling the air with the scent of blood, ending Wei Zicang's life completely.

"Elder Wei!"

"What? Even Elder Wei wasn't his match and was slain!"

With Wei Zicang's death, the surrounding demon cultivators became like startled birds, paralyzed with fear, and immediately fled in all directions.

At this moment, Zhang Nianchuan, Song Minghui, and others pursued the demon cultivators relentlessly.

The battle quickly concluded as the group took action.

In less than an hour, the demon cultivators in this stronghold were thoroughly eradicated.

A dialogue box appeared before Lu Ping's eyes.

[Campaign Task: Clear the Blood Demon Sect disciple stronghold in Xiaozhu County, Qi Kingdom, avenge Li Zonghe, task complete]

[Completion Reward: 9200 Reputation, Three-star Resurrection×1]

...

As the system dialogue box appeared, Lu Ping's eyes lit up, his gaze fixed firmly on the [Three-star Resurrection].

The effect of which was self-explanatory, highly practical.

In addition, the 9200 Reputation Points were significant.

Ignoring the rewards for the time being, Lu Ping's attention swiftly shifted towards Lu Yuanshan.

Lu Yuanshan inquired about the specific circumstances of Li Zonghe's murder.

After reading Wei Zicang's memory earlier, Lu Ping understood the cause of Li Zonghe's death and immediately informed Lu Yuanshan.

As it turned out, over ten days ago, Li Zonghe traveled through Xiaozhu County for experience, hearing from a bandit who narrowly escaped that demon cultivators were causing chaos here, endangering local mortals.

Seeing this, Li Zonghe decided to investigate the strength of these demon cultivators, intending to eliminate them, but was discovered by Wei Zicang.

Li Zonghe was forced to act.

However, Li Zonghe's strength at that time was only at the Eighth-Layer Qi Cultivation, no match for Wei Zicang, resulting in an unfortunate outcome, killed by Wei Zicang.

Li Zonghe didn't even have the chance to call for sect aid, dying far from home.

This was how Li Zonghe met his end.

"Zonghe..."

Upon learning the full story, Lu Yuanshan clenched his teeth in secret.

If he had come to Qi Kingdom earlier and eradicated this demon stronghold, Li Zonghe wouldn't have perished.

Meanwhile, it reinforced Lu Yuanshan's resolve to eliminate the demon cultivators of the Blood Demon Sect quickly to prevent them from further harming other cultivators and mortals.
