Chapter 684 Unfortunate Demonic Cultivator...
Having decided to check out the seal located below the now destroyed Raging Flame Sect, Xuan Hao didn't waste any time in checking out how much his dantian had recovered over the past few days since his two domains had merged together and he had successfully reached the Ninth Stage of the Domain Lord Realm.
"Still nowhere near fully recovered… Looks like I will have to wait until I recover more before going to check out the seal below the Raging Flame Sect."
Seeing that the state of his dantian was still far from good enough for him to enter the underground below the Raging Flame Sect where the seal was located, Xuan Hao closed his eyes and sat down before focusing back on repairing his dantian.
Given the current recovery speed of his dantian, he should be able to recover enough to check out the seal located below the Raging Flame Sect over the next few weeks.
At the very least, he still had some time before he would have to leave for the capital city of the Sky Empire.
…
At the same time Xuan Hao was doing his best to repair the damage that had been done to his dantian during the merger between his two domains, Bai Ning, Hui Ying, and the rest of the disciples from the Flying Sword Sect officially entered the chaotic Azure Sky Kingdom-
"So, this is a demonic cultivator…!"
Not taking long before the group encountered their first demonic cultivator in the process of devouring the body of a dead cultivator through the use of some kind of primal demonic cultivation technique that required the demonic cultivator to eat the other party to devour their cultivation and improve his own.
"Wow, I have never seen a demonic cultivator before… To think they are evil enough to eat a human…"
"So scary! Looks at the blood all over his face and the- Ah-!"
"This blood… He is eating someone!?!?"
"Wah! Let's just kill it!"
The young disciple who had never seen such a scene before all showed different expressions filled with both shock and disgust at what they were seeing, some of the more faint-hearted disciples even ended up fainting after seeing what the demonic cultivator was doing…
"Everyone, calm down! Remember that we are here to deal with these demonic cultivators and stabilize the current chaotic situation of the Azure Sky Kingdom!"
Stepping up to stabilize the situation and calm down the young disciples of the Shattering Star Sect, one of the more senior elders said this before pointing towards the demonic cultivator that had just noticed the group of elders and disciples from the Star Shattering Sect.
"This demonic cultivator here can be considered to be the weakest among demonic cultivators and has reached a realm known as the Lesser Demon Realm, a realm that is comparable to the Foundation Establishment Realm. Above that are the Higher Demon Realm that is comparable to Core Formation Realm.
The demonic cultivators in the Lesser and Higher Demon Realm are the ones you will be fighting, while us elders will take care of the more powerful demonic cultivators roaming the Azure Sky Kingdom!"
As the elder finished talking, all the disciples from the Shattering Star Sect nodded their heads attentively as they had already calmed down after listening to the elder. Even the demonic cultivator located not too far away from them no longer seemed as scary as before and instead invoked the fighting spirits of some of the disciples who looked like they were about to jump out and attack the demonic cultivator at any moment.
…
"This…"
At this moment, the demonic cultivator could not help feeling a shiver run down his spine as he also listened to what the elder from the Shattering Star Sect was saying.
Just a few seconds earlier, he had been filled with happiness after breaking through to the Peak of the Lesser Demon Realm. However, this all changed when the large group of disciples and elders from the Shattering Star Sect showed up.
Even if the demonic cultivator had no idea about where the group had come from, he understood very well that they belonged to some sort of sect, and they had come to the Azure Sky Kingdom to deal with the demonic cultivators that had recently entered the kingdom from the Frozen Wastelands.
"Elder, can I deal with this demonic cultivator?"
"No! Elder, senior brother Chua here already reached the Core Formation Realm! Let me deal with the demonic cultivator!"
"What are you two talking about? Both of you are in the Core Formation Realm, you should let us Foundation Establishment Realm disciples deal with this Lesser Demon Realm demonic cultivator!"
""Yes!""
"Let us deal with it, you seniors can deal with the Higher Demon Realm demonic cultivators!"
Suddenly hearing the disciples start discussing who would get to "deal" with him, the demonic cultivator in question did not know whether or not to laugh or cry in his current situation.
I should just have stayed back in the Frozen Wastelands…
Swish-!
Swish-!
Swish-!
As this thought occurred to the demonic cultivator, a few seniors at the Core Formation Realm decided to attack the demonic cultivator before any of the younger disciples still in the Foundation Establishment Realm had any time to react-contemporary romance
Ptsh-!
Instantly killing the unfortunate demonic cultivator without giving him any chance to escape.
"Ah! The seniors already attacked!"
"How unfair… Not even giving us juniors a chance to see how a demonic cultivator fights…"
"Tch… These seniors just want the contribution points. Not even caring enough to let their juniors gain a little fighting experience with a demonic cultivator!"
Feeling his vision slowly going dark and the world fading from his view, the demonic cultivator did not know how to feel after hearing the junior disciples still in the Foundation Establishment complaining over how their senior brothers and sisters had taken away a precious opportunity for them to learn about fighting demonic cultivators.
Thank god those senior disciples ended things quickly…
Not able to stop such a thought from forming as he slowly felt the last bit of life leave his body, the demonic cultivator died.
…
So that was a demonic cultivator…
Having seen the scene of the demonic cultivator devouring the body of a cultivator that he had killed, Bai Ning felt like he understood why demonic cultivators were so hated by everyone.
"Well… Now that the demonic cultivator is dead and we have arrived in the Azure sky Kingdom, all of you will split up into pairs of two people or more before going out to hunt down demonic cultivators on your own!
You are already paired up with someone ahead of time, the person who is on the same demonic beast as you, will also be your partner during this time in the Azure Sky Kingdom!"
Not wasting any time listening to the complaining disciple who wanted to fight with the demonic cultivator, the elder who had stepped up to explain a bit about demonic cultivators once again took control of the situation as he said this.
"Wait… I'm paired up with that annoying girl-"
"Well then everyone, we wish you luck! Make sure to use the emergency talisman given to you beforehand in case you encounter a dangerous situation, we elders will go on ahead to deal with any of the stronger demonic cultivators that might be lurking around the place!"
Swish-!
Swish-!
Swish-!
Not giving any of the disciples any time to say anything about this arrangement, the elders seemed to have some kind of tactic understanding, as they all quickly jumped off their demon beasts before disappearing in the distance.
The only elder who remained back was a Beast Taming Elder that was in charge of guarding the demon beast during the duration of their time in the Azure Sky Kingdom.
"The elders really left after pairing me up with that annoying girl…"
Not knowing what to say after he saw the elders disappearing in the distance, Bai Ning turned to look toward Hui Ying who was similarly staring towards him.
From the looks of it, they would have to work together to hunt down demonic cultivators during their time in the Azure Sky Kingdom… And from the looks of it, the elders had no intention of allowing them to hunt demonic cultivators on their own.
In a sense, Bai Ning understood that this was for safety and make sure that they would be safer in a completely unfamiliar place. Especially considering that most of the disciples were still below the age of 20.
But… Why did I have to be put together with that annoying girl?
In a similar situation as Bai Ning, Hui Ying looked like she was struggling to say something as both of them continued staring at each other without saying anything for a few minutes.
"Wah-! You win! Your stare is far too much! Let's just get going… I have a feeling that beast taming elder will not be happy if we stay around for too long…"
Giving up their little staring competition first, Hui Ying jumped off the demon beast before signalling for Bai Ning to do the same.
"Indeed… Looks like we will have to get going…"
Knowing that he would not be able to get another teammate, Bai Ning jumped off the demon beast before both of them made their way further inside the Azure Sky Kingdom together.
