Chapter 799: Hiring Demonic Cultivators, Eternal Sword Sect’s Conspiracy

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

As Jiang Chengxuan observed, two figures shrouded in dense, malevolent energy made their way into the Eternal Sword Sect’s camp.

This immediately raised his suspicions, as the intense aura of malevolence surrounding these individuals was not characteristic of righteous cultivators.

It was highly likely that they were cultivators from the demonic path.

The thought that the Eternal Sword Sect might be colluding with demonic forces crossed his mind but was quickly dismissed.

It seemed improbable for the Eternal Sword Sect to engage in such foolishness.

However, the possibility of them hiring a few demonic cultivators to assist in the shadows was more plausible.

Given the appearance of these individuals, it was clear they were not from any significant demonic sect, making it difficult to accuse the Eternal Sword Sect of collusion based on their involvement alone.

A cold light flashed in Jiang Chengxuan’s eyes as he decided to investigate further,

“Let’s see what you’re up to.”

With that, his figure vanished as if erased by an invisible hand, thanks to his secret technique, ‘Formlessness’.

At this moment.

Within the Eternal Sword Sect’s camp, the two demonic cultivators were already meeting with the person in charge from the sect, known as the Fiery Sword Emperor, a Seethrough stage powerhouse.

The Fiery Sword Emperor addressed the two,

“Fellow daoists, I trust there are no issues with the task we’ve agreed upon?”

The one-eyed man among them responded with a smile, “Rest assured, Daoist Fiery Sword. We, Yin-Yang Killers, having accepted your commission, will certainly strive to complete it without any mishaps unless we perish in the attempt.

Furthermore, we will keep our mutual information confidential and not reveal a word to outsiders.”

“That’s reassuring,” the Fiery Sword Emperor replied, a slight smile appearing on his face.

He then handed over a jade slip to the one-eyed man, saying,

“Brother Fei Ying, this contains information about that location. Please review it carefully before taking any action.”

“Alright!”

With the jade slip in hand, the Yin-Yang Killers didn’t linger any longer.

After bidding farewell to the Fiery Sword Emperor, they left the Eternal Sword Sect’s camp.

Watching their departure, an Eternal Sword Sect elder approached the Fiery Sword Emperor, expressing concern,

“Senior Brother Fiery Sword, could inviting those two pose any future risks?”

A cold smirk appeared on the Fiery Sword Emperor’s face.

“The possibility of future risks? Do you really think I would keep them around after this is over?”

The elder’s expression immediately changed. Then, he said in realization,

“I see. I understand now.”

Meanwhile, the Yin-Yang Killers, having departed from the Eternal Sword Sect’s camp, made their way toward the location detailed in the jade slip. However, at this moment, the charming woman looked at the one-eyed man and said,

“Brother Cheng, isn’t it too risky for us to work with a sect like the Eternal Sword Sect?”

After all, a sect like theirs will not hesitate to betray us at critical moments.”

The one-eyed man responded with a scoff,

“Don’t worry, it’ll be fine.

Do you think I plan to blindly follow their dictates?

If that were the case, I can almost guarantee those Eternal Sword Sect folks would turn on us in a heartbeat.”

“Then why are we still engaging with them?”

The woman’s confusion was apparent.

The one-eyed man said, “Our cooperation stems from a need for something they possess.

However, you also know that I didn’t really express my needs previously. Instead, I asked for something else.

Right now, half of that item is already in my hands.

The rest depends on how we play our cards.

Rest assured, should things go south, I won’t hesitate to pull us out of the fire. I won’t let us fall into peril.”

As they continued their conversation, unbeknownst to them, a silent observer trailed behind.

Jiang Chengxuan looked coldly at the two people in front of him.

Based on the other party’s current route and their previous conversation, Jiang Chengxuan roughly understood the purpose of the two people’s trip.

“How ruthless.

So, they resort to employing demonic cultivators to do such a thing.

I may have underestimated the Eternal Sword Sect’s willingness to stoop so low.”

The place the Yin-Yang Killers wanted to go to was the nearest mortal city.

Yes.

There were also mortal cities in the Spiritual Realm.

Moreover, the size and population of these mortal cities were even larger than the mortal cities in the lower realm.

What they intended to do was to wipe out that mortal city.

At that time, the Haoran Sect cultivators of the righteous path would definitely come here to check.

Most importantly, according to Jiang Chengxuan’s understanding, there were many mortal relatives of the Haoran Sect cultivators living in that mortal city.

If anything happened to the city, the cultivators of the Haoran Sect who were participating in the war would be affected.

Should any Haoran Sect members come to investigate, they might fall into a meticulously laid trap, altering the war’s course in unforeseeable ways.

However, eradicating a city of such magnitude would not be straightforward, thanks to the protective arrays.

Usually, this kind of array was in a dormant mode.

However, as long as the city was attacked, the hidden and dormant array would be completely revived.

At least for a short period of time, it could help withstand attacks.

Unless the attacker’s strength had already far exceeded the limit of the array.

Only then would it be possible for it to be instantly broken through.

As for those who could do so, they were typically Void Returning Divine Lords.

This was especially so for Void Returning Divine Lords at the Celestial Radiance stage. They were able to do it with ease.

It seemed likely that part of the attackers’ mission included drawing the attention of the Haoran Sect’s cultivators to this city.

In essence, any incident occurring in this mortal city would undoubtedly impact the Haoran Sect cultivators engaged in the frontline.

At this moment, the two demonic cultivators were nearing the airspace above the city, looking down at the countless mortals below with a cruel smirk on their faces.

“Brother Cheng, shall we begin now?”

The seductive woman turned to ask.

The one-eyed man, known as Brother Cheng, shook his head,

“Hold on, let’s first see if there’s any strong presence hiding in that city.”

Apparently.

They were well aware that such a large mortal city might host a powerful protector.

A premature move that alerted such a guardian, prompting full activation of the city’s defensive array, would complicate their mission.

After all, their identities here were more sensitive.

Exposure could lead to being targeted by both the Haoran and Eternal Sword Sects cultivators.

Suddenly, a circle of blue light emanated from the one-eyed man’s eye, scanning every corner of the city.

His gaze finally settled on a young man dressed in white.

“There actually is a Void Returning cultivator stationed here,” he muttered, his expression turning slightly grim.

The seductive woman, noticing the change, looked at him,

“Brother Cheng, what should we do now?

Do we disguise ourselves as mortals to enter the city and deal with him first?”

“I don’t think that will be necessary.”

Out of nowhere, an unexpected voice rang in their ears, startling them both.

They hadn’t anticipated that someone had been concealing their presence so close to them.

“May I ask if there’s been some misunderstanding?”

The one-eyed man immediately retreated with the woman.

As they looked up, they saw Jiang Chengxuan standing calmly not far from them.

He looked at the one-eyed man and the charming woman and said indifferently,

“A misunderstanding? What misunderstanding could there possibly be?

You’re here on behalf of the Fiery Sword Emperor from the Eternal Sword Sect to annihilate this mortal city, aren’t you?

Or am I mistaken?”

“What?”

Upon hearing Jiang Chengxuan’s words, the one-eyed man and the seductive woman’s expressions instantly shifted.

How could he possibly know about their mission?

Had he been shadowing them all along?

The realization filled them with dread.

“Let’s go!”

At that moment, the two of them could no longer care about the mission and instantly disappeared on the spot.

Unfortunately, they hadn’t gotten far before their movements dramatically slowed.

Even the Dharmic powers and thoughts began to slow down.

Jiang Chengxuan approached them leisurely, his expression cold,

“The Yin-Yang Killers, correct?

I’m aware of your past deeds, slaughtering numerous cultivators and mortals for your cultivation.

I’m sorry, but both of you should stay behind today.”

Buzz!

As he spoke, a scroll unfolded in front of Jiang Chengxuan, emanating dazzling light in five colors.

Almost immediately, the one-eyed man and the seductive woman felt their bodies escaping their control.

“This… This is the power of a domain?

How is this possible?”

Whoosh-

Before they could finish their sentence, the scroll in front of Jiang Chengxuan gently enveloped them.

In an instant, they disappeared from sight.

When they reappeared, they were already lifeless bodies.
