CHAPTER 664: CHAPTER 532: OBTAINING THE QIANKUN PURPLE GOLD BAMBOO

With Huang Daxian dead, the Green Thunder Dao Sect was headless like scattered dragons. The remaining disciples were slaughtered as easily as chopping vegetables, eliminating all of them in just a few moments by the well-trained sword cultivators from the Hunyuan Sect.

"Brother Jun indeed has miraculous strategies; not only did we obtain the Qiankun Purple Gold Bamboo, but we also eradicated the Green Thunder Dao Sect. We have truly achieved a great merit this time."

After slaying the Daoist disciples, the disciples of Hunyuan Sect were thrilled to see the dozen or so Qiankun Purple Gold Bamboo samples.

These disciples from the Hunyuan Sect were not the sect’s elites but a team out on expedition, led by the young man who had previously provoked Huang Daxian, named Jun Yu, a top ten fighter among the Outer Sect members of the Hunyuan Sect, and also ranked nine hundred and eighty on the mainland’s Reincarnation List.

Once the news of the Qiankun Purple Gold Bamboo spread, the sect had already declared that anyone who brought back the bamboo could exchange it for a Martial Art.

They were sword cultivators, bound to practice only the sect’s swordsmanship for life. Martial Arts were of no use to them, but at least they could exchange them for several Elixir Pills.

"What a lackluster bunch, just a few stalks of bamboo have you showing such joy?" Jun Yu disapproved and ordered them to collect the chopped Qiankun Purple Gold Bamboo.

Speaking of which, Huang Daxian was simply courting death.

The Prohibition set by Huang Daxian was meant to conceal his aura.

These young sword cultivators from the Hunyuan Sect couldn’t have discovered him at all.

But that day, to please Qing’er, he released his Thunder Bell. The treasure’s light alarmed these sword cultivators, who secretly monitored him for a whole day and night, finally finding the opportunity to annihilate the Green Thunder Dao Sect.

"What do you mean, Brother Jun?" The Outer Sect Disciples looked puzzled.

"I’ve already received information that the Ghost Emperor from the Underworld Yama Palace, Yan City Lord, and the Young Sect Master of the Jueqing Sect will soon arrive at Purple Bamboo Ridge one after another. I’ve sent a message to Elder Gu in the Outer Sect. He is nearby; when we combine the forces of our two groups, we will certainly be able to annihilate the leaders of the Dark Forces and the demons."

Jun Yu, still young, had great ambitions.

He was deliriously happy yesterday upon receiving the encrypted report from Alliance Leader Song of the mercenaries.

The Underworld Yama Palace represents the pinnacle of the dark forces on the mainland.

The Ghost Emperor Wu Chong and Yan City Lord, Yan Jiu, are the most wanted criminals hated by all countries and sects.

Jueqing Sect is a branch of the Ancient Demon Sect, which has significantly expanded its influence in the Central Plains over the years, even showing tendencies of merging with another major Demon Sect, the Primordial Demon Cave.

These dark forces and demon sects are thorns in the eyes of any adherent of the Righteous Path, despised and yearned to be eradicated swiftly.

What is a minor Green Thunder Dao Sect compared to them? If he has the chance to kill any one of them, he could return to the Hunyuan Sect and instantly be promoted to an Inner Sect Disciple. Then, he could ascend to a status second only to thousands, much like Senior Brother Chen.

"You’re not lacking in confidence, but do you really think you can exterminate the people from the Underworld Yama Palace and Jueqing Sect with just you?"

Before Jun Yu’s eyes flashed a figure, appearing not far away.

The person had a beauty surpassing flowers, with slender, beautiful peach blossom eyes that presently flickered with a cold light. The Hunyuan Sect disciples, both male and female, felt their heart rates falter and their eyes dull, staring blankly at the newcomer.

Jun Yu’s Divine Soul staggered as well, but given his superior cultivation, he realized something was amiss when his soul faltered. He swiftly deployed the mental method of his sect to expel the distracting thoughts from his mind.

"Bold creature, from which demonic sect do you hail, daring to employ seductive techniques to befuddle our sect’s disciples?" Jun Yu bellowed, his righteous aura shattering the romantic illusions of the disciples by his side.

The disciples, faces flush with embarrassment, suddenly awakened and realized they had been charmed by the foe’s technique.

"Without even knowing who I am, yet boldly claiming to take my life, should I call you foolish or fearless?" Bo Qing chuckled playfully, his demeanor lazy and scorn evident on his handsome, thin lips as he idly twirled a lock of his black hair between his fingers.

"What, you are Bo Qing of Jueqing Sect?" After the initial shock, Jun Yu was overjoyed.

It was as though he had serendipitously found what was hard to seek; the Young Sect Master of Jueqing Sect, out here alone, was the perfect opportunity to strike him down.

Immediately, Jun Yu didn’t even care about the Qiankun Purple Gold Bamboo anymore and gave his command.

"All disciples, form up and take him down."

Remembering Ye Lingyue’s words, Bo Qing didn’t linger. He moved as if stepping on air, fleeing towards the other end of Purple Bamboo Ridge.

His flight further convinced Jun Yu of his lack of strength, and dozens pursued Bo Qing relentlessly.

"Little Zhiyo, take Baobao to a safe place. We’ll meet at the entrance of Purple Bamboo Ridge around noon," Ye Lingyue quickly glanced at the departing Hunyuan Sect and Bo Qing, then split up with Little Zhiyo and darted towards the bamboo forest.

Huang Daxian had violently chopped down several bamboo trees; because of Bo Qing’s appearance, the Hunyuan Sect had not managed to cut the remaining seven or eight stems of Qiankun Purple Gold Bamboo, which now advantageously fell to Ye Lingyue.

The sky was already bright; the Qiankun Purple Gold Bamboo, just as Baobao had said earlier, had begun to wilt.

The Qiankun Purple Gold Bamboo, flourishing and withering nine times, sprouted from the earth at night and shed its leaves at dawn, shrinking in size with leaves falling and branches thinning—in just half an hour, it reverted back into an exquisite stalactite-like bamboo shoot.

Ye Lingyue wasted no time. Upon seeing the bamboo shoot, her fingers transformed into claws grabbing the shoot. She pulled out the Star Saliva Dagger, dug up the shoot, and indeed, beneath the fertile soil were thick and thin meridians, webbed together.

The bamboo shoot, as if sensing malicious intent, squirmed ceaselessly like a child, its pointed tip pricking Ye Lingyue’s palm.

Ye Lingyue located the thickest meridian, and with swift precision, she sliced it off, then quickly transferred the bamboo shoot into Hong Meng Heaven.

Following the same process, the remaining seven or eight Qiankun Purple Gold Bamboo were also transferred into Hong Meng Heaven by Ye Lingyue.

The transplanted bamboo shoots quickly came back to life in the fertile soil of Hong Meng Heaven, rapidly taking root and sprouting.

In just a month or so, these Qiankun Purple Gold Bamboos would burgeon and swiftly grow into a lucrative "money tree" for refining Qiankun Bags.

After completing all this, Ye Lingyue left Hong Meng Heaven, satisfied, and immediately went in search of Bo Qing.

While she was quite confident in Bo Qing’s skills, or more precisely, in the Spiritual Artifacts he possessed, facing many with few could still lead to surprises.

Yet what Ye Lingyue didn’t anticipate was that this time, Bo Qing really did encounter significant trouble.
