Starting My Cultivation With Time Management-Chapter 844 - 82: No Yunmeng Sword Scabbard

Chapter 844 -82: No Yunmeng Sword Scabbard

Soon, the people from Shushan appeared abruptly from the outside, just like they had in the historical timeline.

The crowd from the Six Paths suddenly braced themselves as if facing a formidable enemy, but since Alliance Leader Wei had not yet given the command, they could only prepare to defend themselves at any time.

Jiang the Witch, seeing the arrival of the Shushan group, slyly uttered some provocative words to lure Su Jian, the Sect Leader of Shushan, into action. As expected, he was directly hit by the shadow of the Jiaolong’s tail, his figure stumbled, sustaining serious injuries.

Seeing An Zhisu gritting her teeth in anger, Wei Dongliu merely watched coldly, thinking to himself that if even Su Jian could be beaten like this, it would be wonderful to seize this treasure. When it came time to transcend tribulation, simply place one of these treasures to fend off the thunder, the key being that no expenditure of True Yuan was needed.

He then transmitted a secret message to Jiang Lian, whispering:

“This shadow of the Jiaolong’s tail is produced by a demon hiding within the statue, activating and inducing the statue.”

“Mhm.” As the Great Unrestrained Heavenly Demon, Jiang Lian could certainly detect the anomaly in the statue and nodded, “This statue is indeed interesting, it should be made from the remains of a demon ancestor.”

Her voice paused for a moment, then said:

“If the Shushan group hadn’t come, we could directly launch a strong assault and break the statue despite the counterattacks.”

But now that the Shushan people are right beside them, attacking the demon inside the statue would simply be foolish, equivalent to gifting others with wedding dresses and allowing Shushan to freely launch their attack.

Sly as Jiang the Witch and shrewd as the old thief Wei, naturally they wouldn’t do such a foolish thing.

“From what I see, it’s unlikely that the demon will just sit there and wait for death; it must be waiting for an opportunity,” Wei Dongliu continued, “If there is a change later, you’ll lead your men to forcibly break in and loot the treasure. I will restrain the Shushan people as much as possible from the outside.”

“Then please cover for me, my husband,” said Jiang the Witch with full confidence.

“If the opportunity arises, I can also conveniently take this treasure for myself,” Wei Dongliu said, “There are two cores in this Magical Treasure of the statue: one is the scale seven inches below the dragon’s apex, and the other is the central armored plate of the turtle shell. Apart from these two, the rest is useless.”

Her husband wants this thing? Jiang the Witch was somewhat surprised.

In her view, this statue was nothing more than a turtle shell Magical Treasure. Apart from diving into it to activate and reflect external attacks, there was nothing else worth paying extra attention to.

But since her husband wanted it, there was no harm in getting it for him to play with when the time came.

Everyone in the arena was staring at the statue, on one hand noticing that it was undergoing some ominous changes, and on the other hand, hesitant to attack for fear of retaliation, with enemies lurking on the side. At the moment, everyone was stalled, unable to make a move.

Wei Dongliu silently scanned and saw that inside, the demon was undergoing a strange fleshly transformation.

Under the scales, powerful claws of a Jiaolong began to emerge, and round disks started to rise on its back, gradually revealing the majestic patterns of the Xuan Gui.

To some extent, it was becoming more and more like the Xuanwu statue itself, which exuded a sense of dominance and grandeur.

But the problem was that the Xuanwu statue was made up of two demons! If this single demon was to transform into a combination of the two, it would neither be commanding nor impressive, but rather nauseating to behold.

At the same time, this transforming snake demon was also slowly absorbing the bloodline power within the Xuanwu statue.

To be honest, Wei Dongliu wouldn’t care even if the snake demon transformed into Godzilla, with their Cultivation Realm being so established. What’s the use of merely enhancing its Bloodline Rank? Could it defeat so many of them?

But the other party was absorbing the bloodline power contained within the remnants of the statue — that was the essence of this Magical Treasure!

Why do I need this magical treasure to transcend the Heavenly Tribulation? There are plenty of things capable of transcending the tribulation, but essentially, they all consume the cultivator’s True Yuan, and during the tribulation, every bit of True Yuan is extremely precious. Thus, a magical treasure like this, which consumes the internal power of the bloodline to withstand external attacks, truly holds the most precious value.

Seeing the opponent recklessly squandering the fundamental essence of the magical treasure, Wei Dongliu couldn’t bear it and hastily roared:

“Now is the time!”

The cultivators of the Six Paths had been taut with tension all along, and upon hearing the order from Alliance Leader Wei, they disregarded the lingering image of the Jiaolong’s tail, unleashing their prepared offensive techniques towards the statue of Xuanwu in a fierce bombardment.

Fierce attack!

Although the Bashe was hiding inside the statue, it was not completely blind to the outside world. Seeing that the Human Race had finally launched a strong attack, it dared not continue to huddle inside and hastily used spells to complete the final step of its mutation, then forcefully broke the Xuanwu statue, revealing its hideous and terrifying true body.

Jiang the Witch immediately led her people to charge forward, aiming for the entryway to the inner hall which was previously obstructed by the Xuanwu statue but now finally exposed.

Just as they brushed past the side of the monster, passing through the fragments of the statue, a hook and roll of the surrounding black mist quickly secured two items in hand, before turning and heading without looking back into the inner hall.

The people of Shushan were caught off guard and also directed their attacks towards the monster. Due to the sword immortals’ attacks being exceedingly sharp, they swiftly drew the majority of the monster’s attention.

Wei Dongliu also deliberately ordered everyone to relax their assault, to let the monster engage more with Shushan, even occasionally intervening to annoy the Shushan sword immortals to no end.

Only when the monster was finally on the verge of faltering, did Wei Dongliu issue another command. Everyone hurriedly evacuated from the Xuanwu Temple, to prevent Shushan from dealing with the monster and then turning to them with freed hands.

Upon leaving the Xuanwu Temple and retreating from the rainforest area, Wei Dongliu then ordered:

“First, take refuge in the southern marshes.”

“Alliance Leader Wei,” True Person Youlan inquired, “are we to lie in ambush for the Shushan people coming out later?”

Wei Dongliu gave him a puzzled look.

With Sect Leader Su Jian, Weed-Cutting Sword Immortal An Zhisu, Tai Yin Sword Master Ling Yunpo, and a host of Peak Masters and elders on the opposing side, are our few hands going to ambush them, or are we just delivering ourselves up to them?

“Prepare to provide support later.” Seeing that True Person Youlan still didn’t understand, Wei Dongliu could only explain briefly and to the point.

True Person Youlan finally remembered the disparity in fighting power between the sides. Furthermore, their side had already split their cultivator forces, logically seeing no reason to use half of their troops to ambush the entire opposing team, so retreated in embarrassment.

Before long, cultivators from the Six Paths began to flee from the temple one after another, saying that the burly men of Shushan were massacring inside, and that they were no match at all.

But fortunately, due to having gained a significant advantage earlier, nearly every escaping cultivator from the Six Paths had their storage bags nearly filled with various treasures.

True Person Youlan reviewed the spoils and compiled a list for Wei Dongliu to peruse.

Wei Dongliu took a careful look. Although there were items that would tempt an ordinary cultivator, his current perspective and experience meant there were indeed few that could catch his eye…

Hmm, why isn’t the Yunmeng Sword Scabbard here?

Given Ling Yunpo’s presence on Shushan’s side, it was certain they hadn’t acquired the Yunmeng Sword Scabbard, so he had originally thought that it had fallen into the hands of someone from the Six Paths.

It seemed he would have to wait for his wife’s return before making further inquiries.
