Cultivation Starting from Full Talent-Chapter 459 - 457: The War Concludes

Deep within the Demon Dragon Mountain Range, in the cave mansion of Fire Dragon True Monarch.

Ning Daoran, disguised as Independent Practitioner Jianjia, stood in front of the cave mansion using the Earth Tunneling Technique.

Surrounding the cave mansion were three layers of protective prohibitions, sadly all of which were sloppily constructed and crude in craftsmanship. Truly, the Demon Clan had no decent Array Masters; even the prohibitions of Fire Dragon True Monarch’s cave mansion were so easily breached.

Ning Daoran felt speechless, summoned ten thousand Fire Devouring Ants, and rapidly cast numerous spells to break the prohibition as quickly as possible.

Time is life, capturing that demon fox sooner means fewer casualties for Qianyuan Sect.

The reason for Ning Daoran’s haste wasn’t that he was all that altruistic, it was more that Fire Dragon True Monarch was currently attacking Qianyuan Sect, rendering the cave mansion absolutely safe. In addition, over the years, Fire Dragon True Monarch must have accumulated quite a bit of Dragon Demon Essence, making it time to reap the benefits.

In less than the time it takes to finish a cup of tea, the cave mansion prohibition was opened!

"Whoosh!"

Ning Daoran glided into the cave mansion and immediately saw the astoundingly beautiful demon fox in a white dress.

"Ah?!"

The demon fox was applying facial makeup in a mirror and was shocked upon seeing Ning Daoran intrude, her complexion turning pale with fright.

But she quickly recognized that this person looked extremely familiar – it was the very same man from before!

"Why did you come back?"

The demon fox was panicked, her face full of anxiety.

"Be quiet."

Ning Daoran raised his hand and launched dozens of Golden Silk Swords. The blades encircled the demon fox from all directions, sword tips aimed directly at her lovely face as he said, "If you’re subjugated, can the distant Fire Dragon True Monarch sense it?"

"I..."

The demon fox wanted to lie, but Ning Daoran turned into a streak of lightning to appear behind her, knocked her over with a chop of his hand, and commenced a Soul Search!

In an instant, the answer surfaced; indeed, there was.

After the last incident, Fire Dragon True Monarch had planted a mark in the palm of the demon fox. If the mark was damaged, he would sense it and could return to his beloved’s side with utmost speed.

"So that’s it."

Ning Daoran lifted a finger, and a thread of Sword Qi drifted out, crushing the marked palm of the demon fox in an instant!

By now, Fire Dragon True Monarch at Qianyuan Sect should have sensed it.

Ning Daoran quickly began to loot the cave mansion.

Sure enough, he found a small pile of Dragon Demon Essence. Though not as much as he had previously obtained here, it was still a welcome addition.

Furthermore, in a room filled with old objects, Ning Daoran found a very old handbook with bloodstains on it – the relic of some Great Cultivator slain by Fire Dragon True Monarch.

The handbook contained the inheritance of an array path.

Supreme Path Burning Sky Array, a Fourth-order Middle Grade Killing Array!

"Oh my god..."

Ning Daoran was ecstatic, finding treasure without trying! He had been vexed by his lack of a Fourth-order Killing Array, especially given the difficulty in reverse-engineering the Falling Star Array. Now, with this Array Dao inheritance, creating his own Fourth-order Killing Array would be no problem at all!

He quickly pocketed the handbook – good items, all taken away.

"You..."

The demon fox woke up in pain, saw her crumbled palm, and burst into tears.

"Shut up."

Ning Daoran used a Spiritual Artifact rope to tie her to a pillar and then continued his search, taking all the good items from the cave mansion, leaving nothing behind for Fire Dragon True Monarch.

That candlestick was not bad, although not a Magical Treasure, it had some Spiritual Energy and looked very delicate, quite decorative inside the cave mansion.

Ning Daoran pulled out the candles and threw them away, then tossed the candlestick into his Storage Bag.

Onward, a gold bowl looked fine, so he took it, and there was also a pair of ivory chopsticks...

A crime, a crime, protecting wildlife is everyone’s responsibility, but taken nonetheless.

He was grabbing items faster and faster.

The demon fox’s face was covered in tears: "Those chopsticks were left to me by my mother, Fellow Daoist, could you possibly..."

"No!"

Ning Daoran continued to take items, a clothes rack was good – it seemed to be crafted from some kind of Spirit wood, so taken, and that toilet was quite decent, recently Big Stupid Deer developed a weird habit, feeling that as a Golden Core Stage Great Cultivator, defecating in the wild was no longer appropriate, quite the bad habit indeed... spoiled too much...

However, Ning Daoran still raised his hand and used a streak of Mana to collect the Spiritual Artifact Level rosewood toilet into the Storage Bag, for Old Lu’s use, to avoid constipation.

The demon fox cried even more.

This guy in front of her was appealing, he had taken everything that could be taken from the cave mansion, yet seemed utterly oblivious to her.

The little vixen felt indignant – was she less worthy than that silver candlestick and the rosewood toilet?

Even, there was a bit of disappointment in her heart.

He tied her up to the pillar but had no further actions. What was this supposed to mean, was he looking down on her?

In a moment.

Ning Daoran had looted the cave mansion clean, turned to leave, and before departing, frowned and said, "Tell your husband, the moment he leaves your side, I will come again. Advise him to be prudent."

With that, he drifted away, not taking a single fox with him.

In terms of beauty, Little Bai from Spirit Garden Cave Heaven was even more attractive than this demon fox, no need for her.

...

Qianyuan Sect.

Within the Mountain and River Treasure Scroll, the sounds of thunder echoed endlessly.

Fire Dragon True Monarch unleashed his formidable might, bombarding with a frenzy of fiery red lightning, leaving Monarch Qian Yuan utterly incapable of retaliating, to the point that even the Mountain and River Treasure Scroll started to show fiery red cracks.

Even this mid-grade Spirit Treasure could not withstand the power, clearly illustrating just how powerful Fire Dragon True Monarch had become since advancing to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage.

But just as he was about to smite the severely wounded Monarch Qian Yuan with a slap, a sudden thought crossed his mind, a seal within him shattered, and Fire Dragon True Monarch let out a massive cry as a blaze shot up into the sky, immediately leaving the Mountain and River Treasure Scroll!

From a distance came a thunderous boom, as True Monarch Yelan unleashed her Innate Divine Ability, piercing through the chest of True Monarch Tu Yang!

"Master!"

Zhang Ningxin and the other disciples were shocked and rushed to offer aid.

But they were all swept aside by a wave of demonic aura from True Monarch Yelan.

Watching True Monarch Tu Yang barely hanging onto life, Zhang Ningxin’s heart shattered. Risking the dispersion of her own Golden Core energy, she still stubbornly clashed with True Monarch Yelan.

Unexpectedly, from the forest nearby, two figures suddenly emerged and silently knocked Zhang Ningxin unconscious, then swiftly carried her away.

The other disciples hadn’t even reacted when a flash of lightning vanished, and their Senior Sister Ning Xin had disappeared without a trace.

"Fire Dragon Taoist!"

True Monarch Yelan floated in the air, frowning and asking, "What happened?"

"Disaster has struck!"

Fire Dragon True Monarch said gravely, "Some Human Clan thieves have attacked my Cave Mansion, and the fate of my beloved is unknown. I must return to my Cave Mansion immediately! Fellow Taoist Yelan, will you join me?"

"Very well!"

With a howl, True Monarch Yelan sped off with Fire Dragon True Monarch towards the north.

With the two Great Demons gone, a swarm of beasts still wreaked havoc in the mountains, led by three Third-tier Late-stage Demon Beasts. Even after Fire Dragon True Monarch and True Monarch Yelan left, they continued their slaughter of Qianyuan Sect disciples, reluctant to leave such a feast of flesh and Essence Qi.

Just then, golden lightning suddenly burst from the clouds above.

"Ah?"

A group of Qianyuan Sect disciples were astonished and looked up.

Below the clouds, a stunning figure descended gracefully, clad in a white dress with an exquisite, flawless face, a silver Spiritual pattern imprinted between her eyebrows, and her figure graceful and flowing, holding an Immortal Slaying Sword!

Lu Xianzi, she truly came!

Even knowing that it was two Nascent Soul Demon Beasts attacking Qianyuan Sect, she still made her way here!

No wonder everyone says that Lu Xianzi is the future Righteous Leader of Sangyu Country, there might be some truth to that.

"Nine Heavens Profound Evil, transform into Divine Thunder!"

"Majestic heavenly might, draw it forth with my sword!"

Lu Xianzi, with righteousness on her face, let out a battle cry, and in the sky, a revolving Array Plate of lightning appeared, leading to the fall of countless bolts of lightning. Alongside her, attacking the swarm of beasts on the mountain was like cutting through melons and vegetables!

Although she missed the two Nascent Soul Great Demons, Lu Xianzi mowed down a wave of lesser foes.

However, in the hearts of Qianyuan Sect disciples, with Lu Xianzi there, Qianyuan Sect was saved, she was the Righteous savior.

...

"Master!"

A group of disciples from Tuyang Peak rushed to the aid of True Monarch Tu Yang. freewebnσvel.cøm

Sadly, the Nascent Soul Early Stage Cultivator’s chest had been completely pierced, and he was now gasping for air, his heart channels compromised, his cultivation plummeting to the Golden Core Stage, his face aged and weary.

"I..."

True Monarch Tu Yang’s eyes were filled with tears, never anticipating that his life of cultivation would end this way.

Far away, the Mountain and River Treasure Scroll slowly shattered, and a bloodied figure silently fell from the scroll, it was Monarch Qian Yuan.

"Brother..."

True Monarch Tu Yang turned pale.

It was over, Qianyuan Sect was truly finished.

If both of the Nascent Soul cultivators were to fall, who among the new generation of disciples could support such a legacy?

He looked up to Lu Xianzi in the sky, slaying demons with her sword, full of envy. Unfortunately, Lu Xianzi was the Holy Daughter of the Immortal Cloud Sect, unrelated to Qianyuan Sect.

At that moment, a flash of lightning came from the north, swiftly transforming into the appearance of Master Qiu Shui, who lightly landed on the peak of Luoxia Peak.

Ning Daoran stood with one hand behind his back, leisurely looking towards Qianyuan Sect.

Both Nascent Soul Demon Beasts had been lured deep into the Demon Dragon Mountain Range, so this battle meant Qianyuan Sect was preserved. By doing this much, Ning Daoran already considered himself to have fulfilled his obligations to Qianyuan Sect.

"Master..."

Zhang Ningxin, brought by two Class A Paperfolk, slowly regained consciousness. She slowly stood up and looked towards Qianyuan Sect, sensing that her master’s, True Monarch Tu Yang’s, energy had plummeted to the Golden Core Stage and was extremely weak, nearly at death’s door.

Next, Zhang Ningxin saw Ning Daoran, weary from travel.

She knew, it must have been Ning Daoran who did something in the depths of the Demon Dragon Mountain Range, otherwise the two Great Demons would not have left Qianyuan Sect.

"Fellow Daoist Ning..."

Zhang Ningxin, crying, said, "My master, he..."

"Senior Tu Yang, as the Deputy Sect Master of Qianyuan Sect, fought against Nascent Soul Demon Beasts during the Sect’s downfall and ultimately died a heroic death. This is his destiny. Ning Xin, you need not be too heartbroken."

"But, I..."

Zhang Ningxin knelt on the ground, tears raining down.

Ning Daoran frowned and thought; if he were to act now, healing with the Divine Skills of the Eternal Green Technique at the twenty-seventh layer would be trivial, easy enough to mend True Monarch Tu Yang’s heart channels. Although it wouldn’t allow him to return to the Nascent Soul Stage immediately, his foundation was deep enough that it wouldn’t take many years, so there was still a chance for redemption.

But why should he save him?

Just because of the saying, ’repay evil with kindness’?

Ning Daoran scorned this idea; to him, it was none of his business.
