Chapter 130: Chapter 109: Meeting Zhu Yan Again, Lihexie Bang, Fusion-Type Cultivation Technique Mixed Element Skill

"Mixed Element Skill—the Cultivation Technique passed down through generations of Sect Leaders of the Mixed Element Sect in Dafeng City. This Cultivation Technique can only merge inner force, but its cultivation difficulty is extremely high. Every time inner force is merged, the Cultivation Technique must be cultivated again from scratch. According to reliable sources, even for the members of the Mixed Element Sect, the fastest person to master this Cultivation Technique took three years. Re-cultivating it afterward takes longer each time. Within the entire Mixed Element Sect, the person who had cultivated it the most times was its founder, but even he only re-cultivated it four times. None of his descendants have ever reached this realm..."

Force Transforming Skill. Mixed Element Skill. Su Chen actually preferred the former, but it had long vanished without a trace. No one had found it for so many years, and he didn’t think he had the heaven-defying luck of a destined protagonist to just stumble upon it casually. Therefore, Su Chen directly shifted his attention to the Mixed Element Skill. Compared to the former, it was much easier to obtain.

The note contained a lot of information about the Mixed Element Skill. One detail stated that the Mixed Element Sect had not been destroyed; instead, it was still clinging to life in Dafeng City. In other words, Su Chen could definitely find the Mixed Element Sect and figure out a way to obtain the Mixed Element Skill.

"No, I don’t even need to figure out a way!" Su Chen muttered. He looked at the introduction of the Mixed Element Sect on the note, his eyes flickering with thought.

The next day, at the Mixed Element Sect.

Once a respectable third-rate faction, the sect now appeared exceptionally bleak and desolate. The three large characters hanging on the plaque were covered in dust and cobwebs from years of neglect. The tightly shut doors were peeling paint in patches, revealing the shriveled, rotting wood underneath. Even in broad daylight, the Mixed Element Sect kept its doors tightly shut, as if worried that someone might come seeking apprenticeship.

Inside the Mixed Element Sect, an argument broke out.

"Father, I’m not leaving! If we leave, we leave together!" a youthful voice rang out, carrying the stubbornness typical of a young man.

The Sect Leader of the Mixed Element Sect, He Yuan, was only thirty-five, yet the hair at his temples had turned white. His face was haggard, carrying a deep sense of exhaustion. He looked at his son, He Chong, with an utmost solemn expression and said in a heavy tone, "Enough, Chong. Now is not the time to fool around. If one person leaves, there is still a chance. If both of us go, we will both lose our lives!"

"Father, how can I sacrifice you just to eke out a living? At worst, we’ll fight to the death against those bastards from the Blood Saber Sect!" He Chong was filled with indignation.

Hearing this, He Yuan’s expression softened slightly, and his tone became a bit gentler. He shook his head and asked, "Fight with what?"

"This..." He Chong was left speechless. He knew how formidable the Blood Saber Sect was. Let alone the two of them, even if they added all the former disciples of the Mixed Element Sect, they still wouldn’t be a match for their enemies.

"Rather than throwing our lives away fighting the Blood Saber Sect, it’s better to preserve our strength. Chong, remember, temporary gains and losses do not matter. If you want to strive for something, strive for eternity. As long as you can make it out alive, there will always be a chance for revenge," He Yuan sighed.

"But, Father..."

"It’s decided. Pack your things tonight. I will escort you out when the time comes." Ignoring He Chong’s reluctance, He Yuan spoke with absolute certainty. They didn’t have much time left, and the Blood Saber Sect wouldn’t give them any time to regroup. He had to send He Chong away tonight.

"Master, there is a visitor outside. He says he has matters to discuss with you."

The father and son had fallen into silence, leaving the main hall dead quiet. Just then, the voice of the old household servant came from the doorway.

"Heh, the people from the Blood Saber Sect truly are haunting us like ghosts. Tell them that if they want the Mixed Element Skill and the formula for the Mixed Element Pill, they’ll have to do it over my dead body. Don’t even think about it otherwise. Tell them to get lost!" Still in a fit of anger, He Yuan replied coldly. The old servant acknowledged the order and withdrew.

"Father, how could the Blood Saber Sect come right now? And they were so polite. Could it be someone else visiting us?" He Chong said after thinking for a moment.

Hearing this, He Yuan gave a bitter smile. "Who would dare visit us now? Everyone is eager to sever ties with us. Regardless of whether he’s from the Blood Saber Sect, visiting at this time means he likely has ulterior motives. It’s better not to see him!"

Upon hearing this, He Chong felt that his father made sense and stopped dwelling on it.

FOOTSTEPS.

Not long after, the old servant returned and bowed. "Master, the man says he is not from the Blood Saber Sect. He also claims to have a way to solve your problem."

At these words, He Yuan and He Chong exchanged a glance. A look of impatience appeared on He Yuan’s face. Just as he was about to tell the old servant to turn the man away, He Chong spoke up. "Let him in!"

After the old servant left, He Yuan looked at his son helplessly. He Chong smiled and said, "Father, there’s no harm in seeing him."

A moment later, a figure came into view. Setting aside his build and appearance, his handlebar mustache was particularly eye-catching.

After sizing Su Chen up for a moment, He Chong asked, "Do you realize that the moment you walked through those front gates, you were already targeted by the Blood Saber Sect?"

Su Chen didn’t speak. Seeing this, He Chong continued, "You said you can solve our problem. You might as well tell us what it is."

"If my guess is correct, you must be planning to leave Dafeng City, right?" Su Chen asked in return.

The two remained noncommittal, quietly looking at Su Chen without saying a word.

"The Blood Saber Sect gave you three days to hand over the Mixed Element Skill and the pill formula," Su Chen said, not keeping them in suspense. "Their goal is to throw you into disarray and force you to leave Dafeng City so they can make their move.

"Of course, whether you leave or not," he added, looking up at the two, "the Blood Saber Sect will have everything arranged in three days and strike at you then. You have no choice but to leave Dafeng City."

Upon hearing this, the way the two looked at Su Chen grew more serious. The facts were exactly as he said. Three days was enough time for the Blood Saber Sect to arrange everything. Even if they wiped out the Mixed Element Sect afterward, the Blood Saber Sect likely wouldn’t face any repercussions in Dafeng City.

"Then what is your solution?" He Yuan asked after a moment of silence.

"It’s very simple. I can escort you out of the city!"
