Chapter 232: Little Cutie (4/4)
On the borders of the Primordial Battlefield, somewhere within a secret valley…
Black-robed figures stood there quietly, blending into the darkness.
Facing them was a person in a dark-red robe, looking exceptionally evil and malevolent.
“Sect Master, we confirmed that Young Master is imprisoned inside the sect town.”
“Young Master has the array flags, which we need to release Lord Sacred Spirit. We must be very careful!”
“What do you mean by we have to be careful because Young Master has the array flags? Do you mean we can afford to be careless and let him die if he doesn’t have the flags?”
“I don’t mean it that way. I am just saying that Young Master has been imprisoned for over 10 days, and we need to move quickly.”
“Yes, the Heavenly Demon day is tomorrow night. We don’t have much time left.”
…
The black-robed figures started a heated discussion.
At this point, the red-robed man said calmly, “Quiet.”
The man looked very imperious. Every member of the Evil Spirit Sect quietened down the moment he spoke.
He said mildly, “It is my fault that Hei Yuan failed and was captured by the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground. I did not teach my son well enough. I will punish him severely after we rescue him.
“But Hei Yuan’s life is not the most important thing now. The most important issue is the Heavenly Demon array flags in Hei Yuan’s hands.
“I have schemed for thousands of years just to release Lord Sacred Spirit today.
“After I release Lord Sacred Spirit, I will gain recognition, and my status in the sect will rise greatly.
“Everyone here will also be rewarded by Lord Sacred Spirit. You will enjoy a smooth pathway to Immortal Ascension!”
The eyes of the black-robed figures glittered with anticipation at his words.

“I am willing to sacrifice my life for the sake of the Evil Spirit Sect!”
“All hail the Evil Spirit Sect. All hail Sect Master. Today we sleep on the floors. Tomorrow we will be immortals!”
“Strive hard! Go! Go! Go! Turn the grotto-heavens and sacred grounds upside down. Our sect will stand proud and triumphant!”
…
“Don’t worry, Martial Uncle Bai Gu has already started to prepare the ‘Sky-Covering Array’. The moment the array formation is completed…”
The red-robed man looked very pleased when he saw that everyone was getting increasingly excited and motivated.
He suddenly gazed out of the valley.
As the Sect Master of the Evil Spirit Sect, he had already reached the Saint stage and was exceptionally sensitive to his surroundings.
He could clearly feel something moving through the space-time continuum.
This meant that someone was traveling through space-time to come here!
“We have an enemy attack! Who is in charge of the array formation for concealing our aura? How did we get uncovered?”
The face of the red-robed man turned grave. He still looked very calm, but his inner thoughts were in turmoil.
After all, they were just 100 miles away from the sect town, where the two sacred grounds, six grotto-heavens, and 12 blessed-lands were stationed.
To normal people, 100 miles might be considered very far.
But to cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage and above, this distance could be covered within moments.
Don’t tell me our plan has been exposed, and the sacred grounds’ people have already discovered our location?
Things would not be so bad if it was only their location that had been uncovered. He was more worried about the other sects knowing about their plan and were closing in on them.
If so, they would be in deep trouble.
Don’t be mistaken that this red-robed man was all that great. He might have already reached the Saint stage but was only at the lowest level of that realm.
They would be in grave danger if they were discovered and surrounded by the other sects.
The red-robed Sect Master and those black-robed members all fixed their eyes on the vibrating space, waiting vigilantly.
Finally, a crack opened in the space, and a youth in a white outfit appeared.
His hair was jet black, his brows thick and straight. He was very handsome and possessed an exceptionally refined and elegant bearing. He looked like a deity who had just descended from the heavens.
This man was really extraordinary. Even those Evil Spirit sect members couldn’t help sighing at the sight of him.
How could there be such a gorgeous man in this world!?
Meanwhile, the handsome man emerged from the space.
He had a relieved smile on his face and looked like he was in a rather good mood.
But he soon felt the slew of eyes fixed upon him, all displaying a whole range of emotions, from “vigilance”, “fear”, and “murderous intent” to “astonishment”, “entrancement”, and “lasciviousness”. The smile on his face stiffened the moment he noticed them.
Yes, this gorgeous man was Shen Tian.
Having already seen similar black robes on Hei Yuan and his cronies, Shen Tian instantly knew this bunch of people were not good folks.
One, two, three…
Shen Tian took a quick count and saw that there were more than 10 of these Evil Spirit practitioners.
And their auras were at the Nascent Soul stage and above. None of them were weak.
Even so, Shen Tian was not especially worried. After all, he could defeat a Nascent Soul Blood Demon when he was just at the Foundation Establishment stage.
A human at the Nascent Soul stage was smarter and more coordinated in battles than a Nascent Soul Blood Demon.
But don’t forget that Shen Tian was already a Golden Body cultivator.
Shen Tian’s battle prowess had increased by more than 10 ten times over the past half a month!
If he exhibited his full abilities, he could easily rank within the top 10 in the Golden Core List. He might even prove a threat to the top five and top three positions.
A normal Nascent Soul cultivator was no threat to him at all. He could settle them in just a couple of moves. But the problem was not all of these black-robed folks were ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSome were at the peak Nascent Soul stage, while a couple were already Heavenly Venerables at the Soul Formation stage.
Was a Heavenly Venerable at the Soul Formation stage someone who Shen Tian could easily defeat in one round?
He would need at least a few rounds!
Moreover, there was that fellow in those great red robes.
He had an aura that seemed to hold unfathomable depths. Shen Tian had no idea just how powerful he was.
There was no way Shen Tian could afford to provoke someone as powerful as that.
So it was true that when one’s providence decreased, they would definitely encounter unlucky things.
Wrong move, wrong move! He had really made the wrong move this time!
Things were not looking good. Be prepared to run away!
While vigilantly looking at the Evil Spirit sect members, Shen Tian gave a small smile. “Made a wrong turn. Didn’t mean to barge in. I didn’t hear anything. Goodbye.”
With that, Shen Tian turned lightly and strode out of the valley. His demeanor remained exceptionally refined and graceful.
A murderous glint flashed past the eyes of the red-robed Sect Master. “Since you are here, let us kill you!”
Damn, they were indeed Evil Spirit sect members! Killing someone, no questions asked? So scary!
The corners of Shen Tian’s lips twitched. He ramped up his speed and fled out of the valley.
At the same time, he was desperately transmitting a message to Heavenly Venerable White Lotus on his Saint Token, calling for help.
I didn’t give you the Nirvana Holy Liquid for nothing. Now that I am in trouble, Aunt-Master, you must save me!
The Evil Spirit sect members heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing Shen Tian run away.
This proved that his appearance was not an ambush.
“Since you are here, don’t go! This valley is surrounded by array formations. It is impossible to transmit any messages out of here.”
A figure shot out of the group of black-robed people, straight toward Shen Tian.
“Haha, what a handsome young man. Come with me, and I will give you some proper training!”
A coquettish voice sounded out from under those robes, hair-raising and spine-chilling. “Little cutie, I possess the Ecstasy Bliss Sutra, let’s cultivate it together! I guarantee that you will be in euphoric paradise.”
