Imperial Cultivation

The next morning, Chu Zhiyuan was practicing his skills in his small courtyard at Kebifeng.

He was practicing the Ziyang True Scripture.

As the sun rose to the top of the sky, he absorbed the purple light and mental power, making it more and more solid.

The solidification of the rising sun advanced by leaps and bounds. The purple light came from the void, endlessly. The cultivation of the Rising Sun Picture was limited by mental power.

Even as a grandmaster, mental power was still scarce and would soon be exhausted, requiring recovery the next day.

His mental power was endless. If there was no one around, practicing for a day or two would be easy.

Such progress, one day is equivalent to more than a month for others, and ten days is equivalent to more than a year.

He was curious if he could practice the Rising Sun Picture to the level of the Kunlun Visualization Picture.

If he could, what would happen when he reached that level?

As he looked through these statues one by one, Xiao Ruoling and Shen Hanyue arrived.

They had also received the news that the Worry-Free Sect's collection had arrived and came to see how many there were.

Discovering this box, Shen Hanyue clicked her tongue, "Isn't the Worry-Free Sect against evil sects? How come they have so many?"

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and shook his head.

Shen Hanyue said, "Sure enough, they are insidious. They say they are against them, but they are secretly taking action."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and nodded.

Shen Hanyue was still very perceptive.

If they were against them, where did these evil sect statues come from? Could they have been exchanged with the evil sects?

Naturally, they were obtained by killing evil sect experts.

He used to blame the Worry-Free Sect for appeasement, but now it seemed that the Worry-Free Sect still had a trace of bloodthirst.

They had not completely given up on killing evil sect experts, but they never revealed it.

Xiao Ruoling said, "So many statues are indeed not easy to obtain."

Shen Hanyue snorted, "Their family has a large business, we can't compare."

Within the sphere of influence of the Invitation Moon Palace, many of those sects were perfunctory.

They did not fully commit to killing evil sect members.

Killing evil sect members was too dangerous and could easily cost them their lives.

If the evil sect members had not harmed them, they had no motivation to fight them to the death.

The Invitation Moon Palace did not press them too hard. Only the direct disciples of the Invitation Moon Palace would never let go of evil sect members.

Chu Zhiyuan turned to look at Xiao Ruoling.

Before Xiao Ruoling could ask, Shen Hanyue rushed to ask, "What's wrong?"

Chu Zhiyuan said, "There are evil sect members around here. Look, this is the one-eyed evil sect, and this is the four-eyed evil sect."

As Chu Zhiyuan spoke, he picked up two statues.

One was a human statue with one eye.

The other was a human statue with four eyes.

The only eye of the one-eyed statue was in the center of its forehead.

The four-eyed statue had a pair of eyes on the back of its head.

Chu Zhiyuan saw hundreds of red lines on the one-eyed statue.

Among them, there were two thickest lines. Judging from the brightness of the red lines, they should be innate experts.

There were more than three hundred red lines on the four-eyed statue. The three thickest red lines were light red, obviously all at the innate realm.

"Impossible!" Shen Hanyue laughed, "Absolutely impossible. We have already cleared the area around us."

Chu Zhiyuan said, "It should be within ten miles. There's a village over there, right?"

Xiao Ruoling nodded lightly, "There is a village. They are nearby farmers who occasionally help us with farm work."

Shen Hanyue frowned, "Could they be the problem? Are there evil sect members there?"

She said in disbelief, "That's impossible. We've checked."

The Invitation Moon Palace, of course, strictly guarded against such things and would never allow evil sect members to get close.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "We might as well go take a look."

"Let's go," Shen Hanyue said impatiently.

The mountain village at the foot of the mountain had a total of more than one hundred households, making it a large village.

Every household was built along both sides of the small river, and then slowly went up the mountain.

There were nearly fifty households on each side. At this time, the sounds of chickens and dogs crowing could be heard from time to time.

The smoke from the courtyards shrouded the mountain village in a layer of green smoke, and the smell of burning firewood filled the air.

This was the unique smell of the mountain village, full of a strong atmosphere of life.

Chu Zhiyuan went straight to a small courtyard and with a flick of his sleeve, sealed the acupoints of a family of three in this small courtyard.

Xiao Ruoling, Shen Hanyue, and the four girls followed in, looking at the family of three.

A middle-aged couple and a girl.

The middle-aged couple looked simple and honest, no different from the surrounding farmers.

The girl was about eighteen or nineteen years old, with a small nose and small eyes, looking very cute.

Her face was tanned black and red, especially her cheeks, which were particularly red, obviously from working too much in the sun.

Seeing this girl, Shen Hanyue felt a little soft-hearted and turned to look over, "Are you sure there's no mistake?"

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, "The whole family of three belongs to the Four-Eyed Demon Sect."

"I'll take a look." Shen Hanyue stepped forward and pressed her hand on the girl's shoulder, sending a stream of energy through.

The energy circulated around the girl's body, and Shen Hanyue's expression suddenly became solemn.

Xiao Ruoling knew what was going on at a glance, stepped forward and pressed her hand on the middle-aged woman's shoulder, and her expression also darkened.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "You didn't notice anything before, did you?"

"What's going on?" Shen Hanyue asked in confusion, "It shouldn't be. They shouldn't have been able to hide it from us."

Chu Zhiyuan said, "This four-eyed evil sect and that one-eyed evil sect may have very strange mental techniques."

He flicked his sleeve.

The girl's acupoints were immediately unsealed.

Her small eyes suddenly shot out a cold light as she pounced towards Chu Zhiyuan, pulling out a short sword from her sleeve and shooting it over.

Chu Zhiyuan dodged sideways.

The girl tapped her toes, her figure turning lightly, and stabbed at Chu Zhiyuan again, like a flying swallow.

Chu Zhiyuan reached out and took the short sword, while simultaneously slapping her away.

The girl immediately spat out a blood arrow in the air, and then took advantage of the momentum to escape outwards.

Chu Zhiyuan stood with his hands in his sleeves, watching her quickly disappear, already shooting out of the small courtyard, escaping to the sky.

Xiao Ruoling and Shen Hanyue exchanged glances.

They watched Chu Zhiyuan let the girl go, but did not take action to stop her.

The girl shot out several hundred meters, already reaching the small river, turned her head to look, and saw no pursuers.

She was immediately overjoyed, but did not relax. She flew up and was about to cross the small river to the other side, escape into the opposite forest, and leave completely.

But as soon as she flew into the air above the river, her figure fell straight down, smashing into the river like a stone, and flowing down the small river.

"Bang!" The river water splashed, and several fish flew to the bank of the river, turned their bellies up, and were already dead.

And the girl turned into a cloud of blood mist, dyeing the river water red, and flowing downstream.

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head.

Fortunately, he felt something was wrong, let her escape, and did not die by his side.

He already understood that these three people were all dead earth, all exploding upon death.

The methods of this four-eyed evil sect are indeed powerful.

Xiao Ruoling and Shen Hanyue heard the muffled "boom" and knew what had happened.

They floated out of the small courtyard and quickly came to the river, watching the few strands of red water gradually drifting away with the river.
