Chapter 275: Chance Encounter
“What ideas do you have?” Han LingFeng curiously asked.
“Heheh, Heaven’s secrets cannot be revealed!” SongZhong replied in a mysterious manner.
“Hateful man, let’s see if you will talk!” Han LingFeng angrily pounced onto Little Fatty, punching him with her little fists.
While those fists of hers would shatter the bones of a mortal with just a light punch, in front of SongZhong, it was akin to a gentle ma.s.sage. Not only did they not cause him pain, they even incited an evil fire in him. He had resisted for a long time to preserve his gentlemanly image in front of SiYu and SiYun, but he caved and immediately took the chance to flip Han LingFeng over. What happened next was akin to 'divine wrath descending from the heavens', but it was more like filling the sky with the feelings of spring!
Thousands Desire Sect, despite being a demonic sect, was still pretty well known, with a history around the same magnitude as that of the Jade Pearl Pavilion. It was said that there was a behemoth behind it lending it support, which did not lose out to the Mystical Sky Sect. If it was not for that, then how would someone endure having a snoring person sleeping beside him on a narrow bed? The Mystical Sky Yard would have long annihilated the Thousands Desire Sect, instead of only limiting themselves to small scale fights.
The headquarters of Thousands Desire Sect was not considered far from Jade Pearl Pavilion, around two hundred thousand li at most. With the skills of a YuanYing expert, only a day would be needed to arrive there.
As a demonic sect, the ways of the Thousands Desire Sect would definitely be more aggressive. A circ.u.mference of tens of thousands of miles around their sect was their area of influence. The righteous sects like the Mystical Sky Yard as well as the Jade Pearl Pavilion only dared to expand up to ten thousand miles around themselves.
The headquarters of the Thousands Desire Sect was also huge, spanning over a few thousand miles in total. Other than the central Thousands Desire Altar, its surroundings were dotted with a few experts here and there.
The reason why all the experts of the Thousands Desire Sect stayed in cave dwellings instead of pavilions despite them being less comfortable was that the protection offered by the caves was higher compared to living up above in the pavilion. This was due to the lack of trust between the demonic cultivators. All those fellows were constantly on tenterhooks, afraid of being plotted against by others, hence their cave dwellings were all situated quite far apart from each other. Furthermore, the traps that lined each cave dwelling were… extremely perverted.
Although this made the overall defense of the Thousands Desire Sect slightly weaker, their personal defence had been raised up a notch. Of course, even if we were to that their overall defence was slightly weaker, the sect’s defensive formation was still not something that could be broken with a mere thought. At least, even if SongZhong were to ram straight with his Golden Dragon Boat, he would still only meet with defeat!
However, no matter how st.u.r.dy a castle might be, the interior would still be full of weakness. The Thousands Desire Sect was of no difference. This was the linchpin in SongZhong’s plan.
On this day, in the perimeter of the Thousands Desire Sect, a tall and st.u.r.dy fellow stealthily appeared. This infiltrator was SongZhong. In order not to alarm anyone, he carefully made his way into enemy territory, using the demonic witches to test the road. This journey of over ten thousand miles had taken almost a month.
However, SongZhong was no in a rush at all. To plot against a large sect such as the Thousands Desire Sect without patience, that would be an impossible task. This was especially so since the surroundings were all in its area of influence, with the possibility of him running into an enemy at any point. Thus, SongZhong was even more wary than usual, not even daring to fly too high above ground, sticking close to the surface as he proceeded. As such, though his flying speed would be excessively slow, the advantage was that he would not be spotted easily. This was especially so since he had employed the Mist Concealing Technique, hiding his entire figure in a cloud of fog. Without looking in detail, one would easily not be able to spot him flying.
Just as SongZhong was proceeding forwards cautiously, he received a jolt to his mental senses and found out that the demonic witches had pa.s.sed on news that four cultivators were up ahead. They seemed to be disciples from the Thousands Desire Sect!
SongZhong’s fatigued mind was jolted awake in an instant, hurriedly linking his thoughts to the demonic witches, commanding them to continue observing those four.
The four of them comprised of two males and two females. The males looked to be around twenty odd years in age, one clad in yellow robes and the other in pink, their faces full of gorgeous makeup. One look and you could tell that they were nothing good.
The two women were dressed in white and red respectively. Coquettish to their bones, their flirtatious behavior was capable moving anyone. How could they be the daughters of a normal family? This could not be blamed on them, the Thousands Desire Sect was the best when it came to using unorthodox cultivation methods like cultivating inner desires, and it was most effective when used in dual cultivation. Obviously, these four were practicing such methods.
Amongst the four of them, three were at the XianTian stage; only the red-robed female was still a foundational cultivator. All four seemed to have been a.s.signed to do surveillance, and since they were already tired from walking, they decided to stop for a while to rest.
SongZhong immediately felt that this was strange; as cultivators, it shouldn’t have been a difficult thing to use their flying swords, and even if they were in charge of patrolling, it should not be more than just cursory glances. How could they be so worn out to the point that they needed a rest? Could there actually be an ulterior motive involved? Thinking up to this point, Songzhong decided to calm his emotions and called the demonic witches to secretly position themselves beside the demonic cultivators to eavesdrop on them.
The yellow-robed cultivator drank a mouthful of clear water that he brought before complaining with a depressed expression, “Senior, these past twenty days we’ve only been patrolling day after day, is there really such a need?”
“Precisely!” The white-robed female also replied a little grumpily, “Isn’t SongZhong just a JinDan cultivator? To have the members of the great Thousands Desire Sect tormented so, having thousands of us patrolling day after day, this is going to kill us!”
