night.
Chu Tian stood on a high cliff, overlooking the Tiangui Sect camp below.
"Stealing things like that should be done at night." Lord Rat lay on Chu Tian's shoulder, poking his ear holes with the tip of his tail: "Lord Rat has a lot of experience in this kind of thing!"
There were bonfires everywhere in the camp, and next to each bonfire there was a mountain of human heads piled up.
I don't know how many people of Qizhou were slaughtered by these Tiangui cultists, and their heads were piled up next to the bonfire as decorations. Many Tiangui cultists sat next to the bonfire, laughing and talking loudly, holding up wine pots and wine jars and drinking happily.
Being possessed by evil spirits not only greatly enhanced the strength of these Heavenly Ghost Cultists, but also completely released the dark side of their hearts and the most brutal and evil side of their characters.
They feasted and drank excessively, and even countless Heavenly Ghost followers made love here casually. Countless wriggling bodies rolled in the firelight, against the backdrop of those hideous human heads. The scene in the camp was like the eighteen levels of hell.
Dozens of miles away is Chu Family Fort.
The walls of Chu's Fortress were ablaze with flames, and large groups of Chu's private soldiers in iron armor were patrolling back and forth. Occasionally, a group of Heavenly Ghost Cultists would approach by accident, and a hail of arrows would immediately fall from the top of the wall, mercilessly shooting these Heavenly Ghost Cultists to death on the spot.
"Their relationship is not very harmonious!" Chu Tian looked in the direction of Chu Family Castle and said thoughtfully.
"From what Master Shu has gathered, their relationship is not only unharmonious, but also extremely sinister." Master Shu muttered in a low voice, "That day when you led Lu Gu and Hong Gu to break out of Ying Xiu'er's camp, You Qianxun was fighting with Shui Bingyu, a member of the Shinto sect. When both were about to be defeated, Yin Youyou, another member of the Ghost sect, took the opportunity to launch a sneak attack."
"Who are you attacking?" Chu Tian asked Shu Ye curiously.
"They were both attacked by her, so they teamed up to fight back against Yin Youyou. In short, it was a chaotic battle. The Spirit Dao Sect's Great Sun Thousand Army and Great Night Breaking Army also got involved. In the end, everyone was injured and retreated."
Lord Rat wagged his long tail and sighed heavily, "In short, it's because of the human race that they don't live up to expectations. Otherwise, the five Dao species would have fought each other to the point of bloodshed, which shows how bad their relationship is. If the human race had lived up to expectations, how could they have become blood sacrifices?"
Chu Tian said nothing.
Who knew about the Six Paths? Those things were too old, and there was no point in pursuing them. Chu Tian was only concerned with the present. He only wanted to rescue Ying Xiu'er and give the people he rescued a glimmer of hope. This was Chu Tian's most urgent pursuit.
"Later, we may have to fight You Qianxun head-on. Master Shu, how much strength do you have now?" Chu Tian turned his head and looked at Master Shu who was lying on his shoulder.
Master Shu's face suddenly turned bitter. He hesitated for a while and said solemnly, "Anyway, you just feel weak all over. I forgot how I got all these injuries. Anyway, after being treated and adopted by your Chu ancestor, Master Shu's vitality has recovered a little. But eighteen years ago, in order to save you, Master Shu sacrificed a front tooth!"
With a grin, Master Rat pointed at his two bright front teeth and said, "So, the injury has worsened. Over the past eighteen years, the teeth have grown back, but the damage to the vitality is too severe. It's easy and pleasant to bully some minions, but how about dealing with You Qianxun who is half a step into the Saint Realm?"
A scarlet murderous light flashed in Master Shu's eyes: "It's impossible to kill her without damaging her vitality, but I have a 70% to 80% chance of seriously injuring her or scaring her off. After all, you know Master Shu's abilities!"
“Don’t use black pepper ghost mushrooms anymore!” Chu Tian shuddered and hurriedly reminded Rat Master.
"Tsk, Master Rat has many tricks up his sleeve. If you don't need the Black Pepper Ghost Mushroom, then don't use it!" Master Rat laughed strangely a few times, and the flesh on his belly rolled around. No one knew what strange thing he was looking for in his belly.
Chu Tian looked back at the dark forest behind him. Agou, Aque, as well as Hu Dali and Laohei who had just rushed back, were lurking in the forest with a group of wolf monsters who had swallowed the most green light balls from ghosts in recent days and had their strength increased the most, ready to provide support at any time.
They also brought a large number of fire bombs brought by Hu Dali and Lao Hei. The fire bombs made by the bandits in Zhen Sanzhou were extremely destructive and had amazing power. After being processed by Shu Ye, Chu Tian believed that these fire bombs would definitely give You Qianxun a surprise.
The night gradually deepened. The crazy and merry Tiangui followers were still flesh and blood after all. They were tired from the fun, and many of them just lay down beside the campfire and fell asleep. In the camp, only the arrow towers and watchtowers were still moving. The Tiangui followers on duty forced themselves to stay awake and stood there looking around.
Occasionally, a group of Tiangui followers would walk listlessly through the camp. They were the sentries responsible for night patrols.
An invisible gust of wind blew under Chu Tian's feet, and his body was as light as floating catkins. He jumped down from the high cliff and slowly descended to the ground.
In the spiritual orifice between his eyebrows, after the magic power in the stone lamp turned golden, Chu Tian's control over the Wind and Thunder Seals deepened. After his magic power increased several times, flying in the air on the breeze had become an instinct for him.
Landing silently on the ground, Chu Tian's body bounced slightly, and a few faint lightning patterns flashed under his skin. His body was like an arrow shot by a strong bow, and instantly flew nearly a hundred feet away.
This was the terrible explosive power that the power of thunder brought to Chu Tian. If it were someone else, such a rapid acceleration would certainly cause a thunderous explosion. An invisible breeze swirled rapidly around Chu Tian, and the air in front of him parted silently. He flew so fast without making any sound.
After the second body tempering, Chu Tian felt that his body seemed to be able to be called the "body of wind and thunder".
The power of wind and thunder had become a part of his body and his instinct, as if he was born to be a part of wind and thunder. He could blend into the wind as easily as breathing, turning himself into a wisp of agile, invisible wind.
With a faint golden light flashing between his eyebrows, Chu Tian broke into the camp of the Heavenly Ghost Sect.
"The Great Dream Divine Canon" was activated, and a wave of magical power covered an area of a thousand feet in radius. Wherever Chu Tian passed, the sentinels of the Heavenly Ghost Sect fell limply one after another and fell into a deep sleep involuntarily.
The Tiangui believers who were already fast asleep were snoring even louder, sleeping like the dead.
Chu Tian waved his hands casually, and large tracts of dream seeds emerged from his heart. All the Tiangui believers wherever he passed were planted with dream seeds by him, which became a help to his cultivation.
The closer he got to the core of the camp, the more carefully Chu Tian restrained the coverage of the power of "The Great Dream Divine Scripture".
Gradually, Chu Tian compressed the power that made people sleep to a range of three feet around him, and he had already arrived outside You Qianxun's central military tent.
