Chapter 404: Chapter 253: Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique! Slaying a Dao Yi Sect Disciple!

"Be careful."

Seeing that Jiang Shu had made up his mind, Lu Qingling didn’t say much more. With the Great Teleportation Talisman, they were already in an invincible position.

No matter what happened, they wouldn’t end up dead or their Cultivation destroyed.

However, they would need to be extremely cautious in the subsequent tomb exploration.

The two exchanged a look, and suddenly, Lu Qingling put away the treasure ship and waited in midair.

Before long, a treasure ship broke through the waves, and five figures leaped out. The leader was none other than Zhang Shangqing.

"May I know how to address this young lady?"

At this moment, Jiang Shu’s aura was restrained. He stood behind Lu Qingling and was directly ignored by Zhang Shangqing.

In Zhang Shangqing’s eyes, of this pair, only Lu Qingling was worth a second glance.

Perhaps her Divine Skills were far inferior to his. But in a battle among Cultivators, Divine Skills were only one aspect; the enhancement that Treasures provided to Cultivators was still significant.

This time, he paid close attention and immediately noticed that the sword in Lu Qingling’s hand was no ordinary item. The pearl hanging before her white neck also faintly radiated spiritual power, exceptionally potent.

Not to mention, during the battle against the Four-clawed Winged Tiger Flood Dragon, she had also used a delicate flying knife.

Including the treasure ship, she possessed at least four Spirit Rank Treasures. This was not something an ordinary Loose Cultivator could own.

What defined a Loose Cultivator? They didn’t join a Sect, possessed no Cultivation Technique or Divine Skills, and couldn’t forge Treasures themselves. They could only seek Treasures by venturing into dangerous locales or by ambushing others at sea. Most Treasures acquired this way were lower Spirit Rank, common items.

This young lady is truly not simple.

Having confirmed his thoughts, Zhang Shangqing didn’t rush to act. He wanted to probe further.

"After we killed the Four-clawed Winged Tiger Flood Dragon just now, my junior brothers and I took a look. We noticed that the wounds left by your flying knife, young lady, were quite remarkable, saving us a fair bit of effort."

"Therefore, we considered sharing some materials from the Four-clawed Winged Tiger Flood Dragon. Besides, the Endless Sea is fraught with danger. I’m not afraid when I’m alone, but with my junior brothers, I might be stretched thin. We were hoping you, young lady, would team up with us to hunt Demon Beasts. Rest assured, we’ll divide the materials based on contributions during battle."

"It will be absolutely fair; you can rest easy, young lady. As for your companion, he can join us too. In the Endless Sea, there’s safety in numbers, wouldn’t you agree?"

"Ling Qingqing."

Lu Qingling casually gave her false name, saying, "There’s no need for cooperation; my friend and I are used to going it alone. As for the Four-clawed Winged Tiger Flood Dragon, I didn’t contribute much to that fight, so I won’t take credit for it. If there’s nothing else, I’d ask this cultivator from the Dao Yi Sect to please stop following us."

"Senior Brother Zhang, these Loose Cultivators at sea really don’t know what’s good for them!"

No sooner had Lu Qingling finished speaking than a Dao Yi Sect Disciple behind Zhang Shangqing stepped forward, pointing at Lu Qingling and scolding,

"Following our Senior Brother Zhang, not only will the dangers in the Endless Sea be minimized, but it will also be easier to track Demon Beasts. It’s purely beneficial!"

"Your wariness... could it be that you don’t trust our Dao Yi Sect, don’t trust Senior Brother Zhang?"

"Do you realize you’re insulting our Dao Yi Sect!"

His voice was firm, taking the moral high ground. The Primordial Power around the Dao Yi Sect Outer Disciple churned, as if he were about to strike. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

A treasured sword was drawn with a SWISH.

He had followed Senior Brother Zhang many times and knew this rhetoric had often worked wonders. If Loose Cultivators couldn’t resist striking first, then they, the Dao Yi Sect Disciples, would have justification to formally retaliate.

Even if they annihilated the Loose Cultivators, any powers backing them wouldn’t dare to move against the Dao Yi Sect.

However, at this moment, the scene was eerily silent.

The waves rolled, and the wind blew gently.

Lu Qingling merely frowned, showing no intention of preparing to fight.

"Junior Brother He, step back," Zhang Shangqing finally spoke after a long pause. "Miss Ling, I apologize. My junior brother grew up in the Sect and has extremely deep feelings for it. He was impolite just now. I hope you can forgive him."

"This invitation was rather presumptuous of us. Miss Ling, you are free to leave."

One played the good cop, the other the bad cop. Seeing that it didn’t work this time, Zhang Shangqing wasn’t worried.

So, they’d been discovered. He would just increase the distance and arrange a ’chance’ encounter later. It could be a heroic rescue or an opportunity to take advantage of a crisis. Knowing the fish was so delectable, how could he let it simply slip off the hook and escape?

"Leave, and then continue following us, is that it?"

Just as Zhang Shangqing thought he had handled the situation perfectly, perhaps even currying some favor with Lu Qingling, Jiang Shu spoke with a cold laugh.

"If we attack, it’s an assault on Dao Yi Sect Disciples. If we don’t, you’ll keep pestering us, following us, and orchestrating ’chance’ encounters. You Dao Yi Sect Disciples don’t focus on your Cultivation; instead, you’ve become experts in these despicable tactics."

"How dare you!"

The moment Jiang Shu finished speaking, an undisguised flash of anger crossed Zhang Shangqing’s eyes.

Yet, mingled with that anger was a hint of delight.

He was angry because Jiang Shu’s words were a true insult to the Sect.

He was delighted because these words gave him a genuine opportunity to strike!

What Sect Disciple wouldn’t act when their Sect was insulted?

From his sleeve, an image-recording pearl was swiftly put away. His longsword was drawn from its scabbard, his Primordial Power surged, True Fire blazed, and his spiritual power connected heaven and earth.

In an instant, great winds rose like tides, and cloud shadows stirred.

Divine Skill, Azure Sky Flowing Cloud Sword!

In his view, this man who had been standing beside Ling Qingqing was nothing more than a sharp-tongued cur. He couldn’t possibly withstand his Divine Skill. A single strike of his sword would be enough to slay him!
