Chapter 68

"Amu, you actually have such divine power?" Lishui fell from the Tianxuan flying saucer, his expression extremely agitated.

Just now, Amu shocked Lishui greatly. Amu could have a powerful physical body, use magical treasures to slay a ninth-stage cultivator, and even kill Yang Yun, all of which could be explained.

But flying with the wind, using the Qiankun Ruyi Bracelet to cast a defensive light screen, and powerful divine sense attacks, these were all techniques. Without a divine root, one absolutely could not practice them. Amu's performance today was far beyond that of a mere cultivator who could not cultivate a divine root.

"I'll explain it to you slowly!" Amu smiled bitterly, raised his hand, and picked up the two broken swords on the ground. "Senior Brother Lishui, do you recognize these two swords?"

Lishui calmed down and shook his head, saying, "I don't recognize them. But the two people just now were definitely disciples of Beihan. Forming light into swords and using the Divine Ice to Sever Immortals is a unique technique of Beihan. Moreover, to cultivate this technique, they must be no ordinary people!"

Amu nodded, then frowned, as if he had thought of something, and scanned the small courtyard.

"Are there still enemies?" Lishui asked.

"No, there's no one within a few miles!" Amu shook his head.

"Senior Brother Lishui, you once said that a senior expert lived in this small courtyard. Do you know who it was?" Amu suddenly asked.

"Hmm? I don't know. I heard it was someone from thousands of years ago, just a legend. What's the matter?" Lishui replied.

"The cultivator who self-destructed just now had the power of the highest realm of cultivation! But look at this small courtyard?"

Only after Amu said this did Lishui notice that the walls, houses, and even an ancient tree in the courtyard were completely undamaged.

It was as if the battle had never happened, except for a few blue stones in the courtyard that were shattered. Lishui clearly remembered that these stones were moved into the courtyard later.

"Strange!" Lishui was also puzzled.

"It seems that this small courtyard, though small, is not ordinary!" Amu's divine sense spread out, but he could not detect anything unusual.

It was just an ordinary small courtyard, everything remained the same. He really didn't know how the courtyard remained unscathed in the self-destruction of the cultivator, even blocking all the aura.

"Was it the Li Elder's lineage just now?" Lishui asked.

"He is the most suspicious, but it's hard to say!" Amu replied, "I have two soul treasures on me, and it's also possible that someone took a desperate risk while the sect leader is in seclusion!"

"Beihan's rules state that private battles among disciples, killing to seize treasures, will result in the destruction of the soul and the end of the path! Two middle-stage cultivators assassinated, and one of them died by self-destruction, so there must be at least a spirit-level figure behind them!" Lishui said.

"Exactly! Perhaps they were just testing my strength, but unfortunately, one died and one went mad, so they won't get what they want!" Amu sneered.

"Should we tell Senior Brother Tieyun?" Lishui asked.

"Hmm?" Amu frowned, thought for a moment, and shook his head, "On the Tongtian Peak, we don't know who is an enemy and who is a friend, so we should be cautious!"

Hearing this, Lishui took a deep breath. Amu's words clearly showed that he did not trust Tieyun.

Tieyun's status was special, and on the Tongtian Peak, he was the leader. If Tieyun also wanted to deal with Amu, it would be very bad.

For a moment, Lishui felt surrounded by danger, with Amu at the center of the storm, and he felt powerless to help.

"Let's wait and see. No matter who it is, they won't dare to make a fuss after losing two people. We will secretly guard ourselves and go to the Luorui Peak tomorrow." Amu said.

"That's the only way!" Lishui frowned, "Chief Bai, we can trust!"

"Am I the fish on the chopping block?" Amu sneered, "If they want my life, they will have to face a mountain of corpses and a river of blood!"

As he spoke, Amu felt the shadow of the magic coffin in his dantian sway, and the blood demon aura rolled like a tide. The magic coffin deep in the dantian also trembled slightly.

With the magic coffin, one can traverse the three realms! If a small Beihan Sect could trap someone with a magic coffin, it wouldn't be called a magic coffin!

Hearing Amu's words, Lishui felt a chill, but he knew that with Han Qianli in seclusion, Amu might become a target. If I don't kill others, others will kill me!

"Senior Brother Lishui, let's go inside! I'll tell you about my cultivation!" Amu saw Lishui's thoughts and smiled.

"Okay!" Lishui responded, and the two brothers entered the house together.

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

The next morning, Amu did not go to the Tianzi cave for cultivation, but went to the Luorui Peak on the Tianxuan flying saucer.

The Luorui Peak was only a hundred miles from the Tongtian Peak, and it took Amu only a short while to arrive.

After killing Yang Yun, Amu's name spread throughout Beihan. Although everyone still did not believe he could cultivate a divine root, no one dared to look down on him, and he was still the sect leader's named disciple.

Everything went smoothly. Using the prestige of killing Yang Yun and the title of the sect leader's named disciple, the disciples of the Luorui Peak did not dare to be negligent and immediately reported to Bai Yifeng, who immediately summoned Amu.

"Amu, why did you come?" Bai Yifeng was meditating in the back mountain and was surprised to see Amu.

"Salute to Chief Bai!" Amu bowed, "Amu has important matters to report!"

"Hmm? What is it?" Bai Yifeng's expression changed, knowing that if it were a small matter, Amu would not have come to the Luorui Peak to find him.

"Last night, someone tried to assassinate me on the back mountain of the Tongtian Peak!" Amu said.

"What?" Bai Yifeng stood up, his eyebrows raised.

"Two middle-stage cultivators, one dead and one escaped. These are their flying swords!" Amu took out the two broken swords from the Qiankun Ruyi Bracelet and handed them to Bai Yifeng.

Bai Yifeng took the swords, his divine sense sweeping over them. They were two middle-stage cultivation treasures, typical flying swords for middle-stage cultivators. Unfortunately, these were ordinary flying swords, and no special marks could be seen.

"Are there any other clues?" Bai Yifeng frowned.

"They must be from Beihan, as they used the Beihan secret technique 'Forming Light into Swords, Divine Ice to Sever Immortals.'" Amu briefly recounted the events of last night, glossing over how he repelled the enemies.

Hearing Amu's words, Bai Yifeng's expression turned even colder. In fact, without Amu saying it, Bai Yifeng already knew it must be someone from Beihan, as outsiders could not break through the Beihan mountain protection array silently, unless they were legendary scattered soul-level cultivators.

"Fengzhao!" Bai Yifeng called a name.

"Disciple is here!" Not far away, a young cultivator in a purple robe, with a fiery face, appeared silently.

When this purple-robed cultivator appeared, Amu was surprised. This purple-robed cultivator must be at least a grand completion middle-stage cultivator, likely a spirit-level cultivator like Han Bingyi and Mei Lingfeng.

"Fengzhao, within an hour, investigate all 1,371 middle-stage cultivators of Beihan, see who is missing and who is injured! Then report back quickly!" Bai Yifeng's voice was cold, his anger evident.

"Disciple understands!" Fengzhao said.

"Do not alarm the snakes, especially the Tongtian Peak lineage!" Bai Yifeng added.

Amu came directly to the Luorui Peak to find him, and Bai Yifeng naturally understood Amu's thoughts. The Tongtian Peak lineage was the most suspicious, especially the Li Elder's lineage.

"Disciple understands!" Fengzhao bowed and then disappeared without any visible movement.

"Instant teleportation!" Amu was surprised, as this was a skill that only spirit-level cultivators could possess.

"That's not instant teleportation, just a small technique!" Bai Yifeng explained, "Fengzhao is my eldest disciple and a spirit-level cultivator!"

"Another spirit-level cultivator, Beihan Sect truly has many hidden talents!" Amu praised.

"Indeed, a cultivator child can make two middle-stage cultivators retreat, one dead and one injured!" Bai Yifeng looked at Amu meaningfully.

"Cough, cough!" Amu coughed, "Amu just relied on magical treasures, it was a lucky chance!"

Bai Yifeng smiled faintly and did not ask in detail about how Amu killed the middle-stage cultivators.

Looking at Amu again, Bai Yifeng sighed, "Amu, when the sect leader went into seclusion, he entrusted you to me. So you can rest assured, as long as I am here, I will ensure your safety in the Beihan Sect. Focus on your cultivation!"

Hearing this, Amu naturally understood the implications. It seemed that although Han Qianli's seclusion was rushed, he still made corresponding arrangements and instructions for Amu. The actions on Luoyun Cliff were to intimidate, and leaving Bai Yifeng as a backup.

"Thank you, Chief Bai!" Amu respectfully said.

Bai Yifeng nodded without saying more.

"The sect leader has only been in seclusion for three days, and someone is already plotting against you in secret. This clearly shows they do not respect me, Bai Yifeng!" Bai Yifeng thought, a killing intent flashing across his face, "I was too careless! Once I find out who is behind this, I will make sure they are destroyed."

Less than an hour later, Fengzhao returned, still coming and going without a trace.

"Did you find anything?" Bai Yifeng asked.

Fengzhao frowned, "Master, I have carefully investigated, and all 1,371 middle-stage cultivators of the eight lineages of Beihan are present, with no injuries! I just checked again, and there are no abnormalities!"

"Impossible!" Amu said firmly, "Those two must be Beihan disciples!"

"Amu, do you not trust me?" Fengzhao's face showed displeasure.

"Feng, you misunderstood! Last night, the attackers clearly used the Beihan middle-stage killing technique, how could they not be Beihan disciples?" Amu explained.

"Heh heh!" At this moment, Bai Yifeng sneered, "A grand move! It seems someone in the eight lineages of Beihan wants to take advantage of the sect leader's seclusion to turn the world upside down!"

"Hmm?" Amu and Fengzhao both looked at Bai Yifeng.

"Beihan's disciples above the initial stage should all be recorded, but only the cultivator children are known by each lineage. Now, two middle-stage cultivators are not on the records, which means they have been privately raised for years with the intention of rebellion!" Bai Yifeng's face showed intense killing intent.

Seeing Bai Yifeng's expression, Fengzhao quickly lowered his head. Those familiar with Bai Yifeng knew that he was a genius, reaching the intermediate spirit level in just 150 years of cultivation, making him the first in a thousand years in the Beihan Sect.

Despite his handsome and noble appearance, Bai Yifeng was known for his ruthless actions. When he first became a middle-stage cultivator, he single-handedly challenged seven sects in the northern wilderness, leaving a trail of blood, far more ruthless than Han Qianli.

Even Fengzhao, his eldest disciple, was always cautious around Bai Yifeng.

"Fengzhao, go and invite your five uncles!" Bai Yifeng's face was tense.

"Yes!" Fengzhao did not hesitate and disappeared instantly.

The Luorui Peak, including Bai Yifeng, had six spirit-level cultivators, one of whom was an elder of the Beihan Sect. In terms of the number of spirit-level cultivators, it was the best among the eight lineages. Now that Bai Yifeng was gathering six people, it seemed he was planning a major move.

"Amu, tell me the truth, what level of cultivator can you handle without harm?" Bai Yifeng looked at Amu and asked slowly.

Amu took a deep breath and said, "If it's a life-or-death battle, no one below the spirit level can kill me!"

Hearing this, Bai Yifeng's expression changed. Although he had overestimated Amu in his heart, he still underestimated him.

"You are truly a demon!" Bai Yifeng sighed, then said, "But, very good!

"Amu, today's matter will be kept secret, and I will handle everything for you! Since no one below the spirit level can kill you, no one can harm you in that back mountain courtyard. Spirit-level cultivators cannot step into that courtyard, so you will be safe at night."

"Uh? Spirit-level cultivators cannot step into that back mountain courtyard?" Amu was surprised.

"Exactly, that back mountain courtyard is a unique place in Beihan. Even I cannot enter it. You can rest assured! Last night's incident will not happen again. I will also secretly dispatch people to protect you!" Bai Yifeng said.

"Thank you, Chief Bai, I will take my leave!" Since everything was resolved, and Bai Yifeng and the spirit-level cultivators of the Luorui Peak had matters to discuss, Amu had no reason to stay.

After bidding farewell to Bai Yifeng, Amu returned directly to the back mountain courtyard. Since it was safe, Amu decided to temporarily not go to the Tianzi cave for cultivation. After all, the Tianzi cave was now a ruined cave.

(There will still be one update tomorrow, and the next two weeks will still have no recommendations, which is extremely painful!)
