Anti-fraud manual for the cultivation world

Chapter 101 You Lost

Hua Mingyuan slowly collapsed, his face filled with disbelief.

He doesn't understand!

An entire valley of livestock helped him cultivate. Every one to two months, a Qi Refining Level 7 cultivator would be released for him to absorb. Although a Qi Refining Level 7 cultivator wasn't much, over the decades, he had absorbed countless Qi Refining Level 7 cultivators.

In addition, he himself was also diligently cultivating and never slacked off for a single day.

Why?

Why couldn't he defeat a mere prefect who had entered the mortal world?

What exactly went wrong?

Honglin looked at him calmly: "Can't figure it out?"

Hua Mingyuan managed to utter three words with difficulty: "I can't figure it out!"

Hong Lin sighed softly: "You disciples of the Demonic Sect have simply practiced the [Common Path Demonic Scripture] incorrectly! The Common Path Demonic Scripture is a mental cultivation method that emphasizes dedication, but you've turned it into plunder. When your cultivation level is low, plundering others is exhilarating, and your realm advances rapidly. But when your realm reaches your level, your state of mind has a greater impact than your cultivation. Although you've absorbed countless people, how many years has it been since you've improved your realm? Are you truly unable to understand this, or are you unwilling to face it and forcing yourself not to think about it?"

Hua Mingyuan: "!!!"

""

Honglin said, "Put it down!"

Hua Mingyuan's expression suddenly twisted, and a massive surge of spiritual energy rose from his body.

Honglin frowned and quickly retreated.

Suddenly, countless golden rays shot out from Hua Mingyuan's body. His flesh disintegrated and shattered, and a golden inner core burst through his skin and floated in mid-air. Then, countless light needles shot out from the inner core, rushing out in all directions. Wherever the light needles passed, they pierced through walls and broke through the soil, piercing through everything they encountered.

Hong Lin shot out the red thread in her hand again, intercepting the light needle in mid-air and shattering it.

But she could only stop a limited number of them; most of the light needles still struck the surrounding houses, leaving them riddled with holes and collapsing under their piercing rays.

Then, the inner core that was suspended in mid-air exploded with a "boom", and the huge shock wave spread in all directions. Hong Lin could only protect the side of the yamen from the shock wave, but she could not block the shock wave from the other directions at all.

They could only watch as this force surged towards the surrounding houses.

Just as the shockwave was about to destroy the most prosperous area in the center of Jiangzhou City, a middle-aged man wielding a black longsword jumped out of the silver shop in the east. He raised the longsword and blocked the silver shop. A wall of air appeared on the black sword, blocking the shockwave completely.

He is the Jiangzhou Hall Master of the Black Knife Sect!

To the west, the old beggar from the Righteous Alliance stood in front of a restaurant, pushing his palms forward with immense force. With a thunderous roar, he blocked all the spiritual energy rushing westward.

But the south side wasn't so lucky. With no one to protect them, the immense power of the Golden Core's self-destruction destroyed the southern street, spreading for hundreds of meters before it was finally stopped by a group of onlookers who managed to stop it.

On a distant rooftop, Tie Cangzhou of the Jinzhu Gang, who had been watching the commotion for a long time, said, "The Demonic Sect has lost. Let's go." A large number of Jinzhu Gang members who had been hiding and watching disappeared into the streets and alleys.

On the other side, the Green-skinned Tiger from the Yangtze River Gang also let out a 'heh' and flew backward, disappearing into the night.

In the distance, two pale-faced women from the ghost city drifted slowly away into the night sky.

The explosion of Hua Mingyuan's inner core was quite a commotion. Bai Dan and Mo Xuanye, who were fighting at the time, were also caught in the shockwave. They stopped fighting at the same time and fell to the sides. Mo Xuanye looked at the direction of Hua Mingyuan's explosion with shock and disbelief, and then fled in another direction without looking back.

Bai Yan wanted to give chase, but after flying a few meters forward, she suddenly noticed an array plate lying on the ground. As soon as she flew above the array plate, it suddenly unfolded, and several chains intertwined around her, sealing her off.

She lunged forward, but was bounced back by the chains and couldn't get out for a while.

"Damn it! That bastard Mo Xuanye even left a trap array while he was running away."

Bai Yan had no choice but to give up the pursuit and focus on breaking the formation.

The battle inside the government office was also nearing its end.

The three demonic sect disciples, Li Gu and his group of four, were already at a disadvantage in the siege. They were hoping that Hua Mingyuan and Mo Xuanye would come to their aid, but Hua Mingyuan was defeated and self-destructed, and the three demonic sect disciples instantly lost their will to fight.

When morale collapses, even magical artifacts become difficult to use flexibly.

A golden dragon seized an opening, opened its blood-red maw, and bit a disciple of the demonic sect.

Cai Xinzi's belt also got tangled in a disciple of the Demonic Sect.

Li Gu and Zhang Yi simultaneously struck the last disciple.

Three disciples of the Demonic Sect fell down at the same time.

"We won!"

Cai Xinzi laughed loudly: "Those bastards from the Demonic Sect, serves you right for being so arrogant."

Niu Xin, Ma Zhi, and Cai Xinlan, the three cheerleaders, cheered even louder from behind.

The Immortal Emperor quietly finished reading, feeling quite gratified. He no longer needed to take action or worry about revealing his whereabouts. He could now stay in Jiangzhou in peace and look for a compatible Daoist partner.

She turned around, preparing to leave the place.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Li Gu and Zhang Yi standing in front of the demonic sect disciple they had defeated—

"Want to take a drag?" Li Gu asked Zhang Yi in a low voice, though he was asking himself rather than her.

Zhang Yi shook his head: "I can't absorb even a little bit; my meridians are about to burst."

Li Gu turned his head and looked in the direction where Hua Mingyuan had just self-destructed.

The moment the Golden Core self-destructed, Li Gu sensed the immense spiritual energy within Hua Mingyuan's body. The power of this spiritual energy as it surged out in all directions was such that even with the combined efforts of Hong Lin, the Righteous Alliance, and the Black Blade Sect, they could only block three sides. The remaining side was only managed to be stopped a few hundred meters away by a large group of independent cultivators.

Judging from the appearance, Hua Mingyuan's cultivation level was much higher than Hong Lin's, but he lost in actual combat.

Why is that?

Is this the result of practicing the [Common Path Demonic Codex] in the wrong direction?

Is the effect less noticeable at lower levels, but greater at higher levels?

Li Gu glanced down at the demonic sect disciple lying at his feet, abandoning his idea of ​​absorbing his cultivation. He needed to readjust his mindset; plundering was not the right thing to do. Instead of absorbing cultivation from others, he should take Liuwei Dihuang Pills to improve his own cultivation; perhaps the effect would be better.

The Immortal Emperor nodded slightly: "A wise decision. This isn't how you practice the [Common Path Demonic Scripture]. Alright, there's nothing more to see. Let's go."

"Hey, what are you still spacing out for?" Cai Xinzi jumped up excitedly: "Niu Xin, Ma Zhi, you two immediately contact all the Six Doors brothers you can reach and tell them to get up and work overtime—we're going to raid the Hongya Sect and the Jiangzhou branch of the Demonic Sect tonight."

Kailong laughed and said, "Hey! Before Hua Mingyuan made his move, he said that they had already left the Demonic Sect and that attacking the government office was their own doing. He said this at the gate of the government office, and there must have been people in the surrounding houses who heard it. We can't pin the crime of treason on the Demonic Sect."

Cai Xinzi chuckled: "I won't investigate them for treason, but for stealing and selling other sects' secret manuals and smuggling salt. Crimes that we didn't dare to investigate before can now be investigated. Come on, let's investigate the Demonic Sect's book and salt business thoroughly."

Chiron shrugged.

Li Gu and Zhang Yi exchanged a glance. "Alright! We'll just follow along."
