Chapter 868: Chapter 418: Updating...

But upon realizing he was at the Qi Cultivation Twelfth Layer, he suddenly felt calm.

Moreover, from his words, it seemed that even if he wasn’t the one who killed the original self, he was likely related.

This person must be killed!

Having made up his mind, Tianfu deliberately walked towards a deserted area, and kept talking about the events in Celestial Fragrance Tower, as if intoxicated and unable to extricate himself, to numb the opponent.

Sure enough, seeing him talking about Celestial Fragrance Tower all the way, the opponent had no suspicions, and followed him, getting closer and closer.

A hundred feet.

Fifty feet.

At this moment, a popup appeared before his eyes.

[Chen Jue]

[Age: 50]

[Spirit Root: Middle-Grade Fire Spirit Root]

[Realm: Qi Cultivation Tenth Layer]

[Identity: Ninth Elder of the Chen Family—Enemy!]

Tianfu was overjoyed with the sudden appearance of identity information; this way he no longer had to worry about encountering those who deliberately hide their identities.

After all, even in martial arts novels, those traveling the jianghu had dozens of nicknames, let alone the crueler Cultivation World.

In the memories of the original self, the Chen Family opposed the Tian Family. Though the Foundation Establishment strongholds of both families belonged to the same sect, they were mortal enemies.

Suddenly.

Chen Jue moved.

His figure, like a ghost, passed through the trees, leaving only a Black Shadow in the night, followed by a ball of fire illuminating the small forest path.

With a single hand, Chen Jue, enveloped in red flames, struck towards the back of Tianfu’s head, at a stunningly fast speed.

Tianfu sighed inwardly: Is this a cultivator?

But in his eyes and perception, although Chen Jue’s speed was fast, not only could he see clearly, but he could also sense its weak power.

Following closely, Chen Jue immediately reacted, casually casting a Fire Snake Technique—a technique one could learn at Qi Cultivation Third Layer.

Though it was merely a simple Fire Snake Technique, it was supported by Qi Cultivation Twelfth Layer cultivation!

Boom—

The fire snake flicked its tongue and rushed towards Chen Jue at even greater speed.

Upon seeing this, Chen Jue was completely dumbfounded.

The terrifying incoming temperature and the fierce fire python that shook one’s soul spoke one truth.

Tianfu was definitely not at Qi Cultivation Third Layer!

"No—"

However, at such close distance, Chen Jue had no opportunity to dodge, before he was engulfed by the fire snake in the blink of an eye.

Ah—

Chen Jue let out continual screams.

However, he barely lasted three breaths before he was burned to ashes, except for two items that remained unscathed by the fire snake.

An identity token.

Plus a storage bag.

Tianfu picked up the storage bag and immediately slipped down the mountain path. As for the identity token, it was casually tossed into the bushes by Tianfu.

After circling twice at the foot of the mountain and confirming no one was following, Tianfu quietly returned to the cave dwelling at the mountainside.

Back at the cave, Tianfu quickly activated the array, locked the door firmly, and then carefully opened the storage bag obtained from killing Chen Jue.

Inside the storage bag were thirty Low-grade Spirit Stones, ten times his monthly cultivation resources as an Earth Spirit Root.

There were also two books.

As Tianfu just picked them up, a system popup appeared before his eyes.

[Sleeve Sword Technique]

[Qi Refining Stage Magic, can only be cultivated at Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer and above]

...

[Wind and Cloud Step]

[Qi Refining Stage Body Technique, can only be cultivated at Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer and above]

"With Sleeve Sword Technique, why didn’t Chen Jue use it?" Tianfu pondered for a while, and concluded that perhaps Chen Jue thought it would be overkill for a chicken.

To deal with someone at Qi Cultivation Third Layer, just one strike could kill them, why waste Spiritual Qi in the dantian to perform Sleeve Sword Technique.

"Chen Jue taught me a lesson, if the Chen Family comes to kill me again, no matter how weak they seem, I must assume they are stronger than me!" Even though he had infinite lifespan, he still needed to be cautious.

After all, dying once is quite painful.

Holding the Sleeve Sword Technique, Tianfu quickly asked, "Can I practice swordsmanship?"

[No.]

Receiving this result, Tianfu was not disappointed as he had already anticipated it.

Suddenly.

Noises suddenly arose outside the room.

Tianfu hurriedly put away the spoils of war, and as soon as he opened the door, seven or eight people squeezed inside, including yesterday’s Tian Yue.

The names and identities of the others also flashed in his mind. Without exception, they were all members of the Tian Family.

Once inside, each one angrily shouted to kill the culprit, and asked Tianfu if he had any conflicts with anyone since entering the Wuji Sect this half month.

Tianfu quickly shook his head, "No."

A Seventh-Layer Qi Cultivation Cultivator from the Tian Family immediately angrily said, "It must be those dogs from the Chen Family, there aren’t many in the outer sect who dare to provoke the Tian Family, let alone want to kill us!"

"Yes, it must be the Chen Family. The Chen Family has held grievances with us for nearly a century, and now that our Tian Family has an Earth Spirit Root, they surely want to eliminate it!" Another Sixth-Layer Qi Cultivation Cultivator chimed in.

While everyone was talking over each other, the strongest among them, a middle-aged Ninth-Level Qi Cultivation cultivator angrily spoke, "Let’s find them and blow this matter up, the bigger the better! We must warn the Chen Family, or they will continue with reckless behavior!"

With these words, everyone was angry and ready to drag Tianfu out of the door.

Having no choice, Tianfu could only pretend to be weak, shaking legs and the like.

"How about another day?"

Truth be told, he didn’t want to go.

After just killing Chen Jue, although no one knew the truth, the meaning behind Chen Jue would mean the Chen Family might send someone else, so it’s best to avoid them. Because in the original self’s memory, he was the only Earth Spirit Root within both families.
