Holy Maiden, wait a minute. Why are you asking me to cultivate again?

"Hmm, uh~"

Dongfang Huaizhen let out a long breath, wiped the sweat from Fenxue's face, put on her dress, and looked somewhat resentful.

"Why aren't you as energetic as you were the day before?"

Yesterday, she refined the yang energy within her body and felt she had another breakthrough opportunity. This encounter with Song Zhao further confirmed the existence of such an opportunity.

Unfortunately, this amount doesn't seem to be enough for her to break through to the eighth level of the Golden Core stage.

Song Zhao lamented, "It's all my fault. I've been preoccupied with worries these past few days."

"I came to see the Sect Master for that matter as well."

Dongfang Huaizhen raised his face, as if he knew everything: "That demonic disciple killed someone again, yet you couldn't capture him?"

"Nothing can escape the sect leader's discerning eyes."

Song Zhao stepped forward, wanting to kiss the other's body, but Dongfang Huaizhen dodged him.

"Of course I know."

She rose and went to the window of the Xuan Mansion, pointing to the lake surface as calm as a mirror: "You can see everything in the outside world from this lake."

Song Zhao was both surprised and delighted. He approached Dongfang Huaizhen from behind and asked, "Can you see where that demonic disciple is?"

Dongfang Huaizhen frowned and shook her head, her delicate hand gripping the window frame, her phoenix eyes slightly narrowed: "I can't detect anything."

"That demonic cultivator's methods are too advanced. Perhaps he is not from Xuanzhou, or perhaps he has received the inheritance of some demonic master..."

Song Zhao paused for a moment, then said, "That demonic path comes from the Innate Demonic Sect."

I didn't say anything before because I was afraid of causing unnecessary trouble.

Now that the two of them know each other inside and out, there's nothing wrong with talking about it.

"The Primordial Demonic Sect?"

Dongfang Huaizhen was somewhat shocked by this answer: "How did you know?"

Song Zhao had no choice but to explain: "His magic weapon is unique to the Innate Demon Sect. I saw it in an ancient book."

"That will be troublesome."

Dongfang Huaizhen's expression turned noticeably grim: "The Innate Demonic Sect is the most powerful demonic sect in the Yuan Realm."

"Its sacred grounds are located in the netherworld, yet hidden within the heavens, and it governs numerous dynasties..."

"Below it are thirty-six demon palaces and seventy-two demon mountains. The current sect leader's cultivation is unfathomable, and the previous sect leaders have not yet passed away..."

Upon hearing this, Song Zhao felt even more that the Innate Demonic Sect was an extraordinary existence.

"Why would a sect of this caliber come to a small place like Xuanzhou?" Dongfang Huaizhen was very puzzled.

No disciple of the Innate Demonic Sect would even give the Heavenly Martial Sect a second glance.

Because any one of those thirty-six demon palaces could wipe out the entire cultivation forces of Xuanzhou!

"Could you be mistaken?" Dongfang Huaizhen looked at Song Zhao, secretly hoping that the other party was mistaken.

Otherwise, if the Innate Demonic Sect plots against the Heavenly Martial Sect, it would be tantamount to destroying the sect.

Song Zhao shook his head: "This disciple has not misjudged."

"Then right now, we need to find this person and ask him why he came to my Tianwu Sect."

Dongfang Huaizhen sighed softly, his full chest swaying up and down: "I will use the spiritual cave as the center to activate the sect's grand formation and search for the traces of those people from the Innate Demonic Sect day and night."

"With the sect leader's strength, is it still necessary to activate the formation to search?" Song Zhao was stunned.

Dongfang Huaizhen nodded: "Indeed, the Daoist arts of the Innate Demonic Sect are extremely profound. Even if the formation is activated, it is not certain that the person can be found."

"Are we just going to let him kill indiscriminately within the sect?"

Song Zhao felt nothing but absurdity.

A sect that can't even protect its own disciples is far too weak.

Dongfang Huaizhen saw the disappointment in Song Zhao's eyes and sighed, "What can we do?"

"I am not a Nascent Soul True Monarch, so I cannot find that person's whereabouts based on cause and effect."

"If I had discovered you three or five years earlier, things might have been different."

Dongfang Huaizhen was telling the truth.

The Daoist techniques of the Innate Demonic Sect are truly profound. Since she has not yet reached the Nascent Soul stage, she is unable to trace the cultivators of the Innate Demonic Sect.

If Song Zhao had let her know the benefits of joint cultivation a few years ago, she might have been able to reach the Nascent Soul stage within three to five years if she had studied day and night.

Song Zhao felt disappointed, thinking that with Dongfang Huaizhen's strength, he could find the cultivators of the Innate Demonic Sect.

Unexpectedly, he was trapped by his cultivation level...

He had no choice but to change the subject: "Just now, when I assisted the sect leader in his cultivation, how much did it increase his cultivation level?"

Dongfang Huaizhen pondered for a moment, then touched his flat stomach: "I'm afraid it can save me two or three months of arduous training."

"Only two or three months?" Song Zhao pondered.

He helped Su Fangyue cultivate, saving her three to five years of arduous training, which allowed her to quickly break through from the mid-Foundation Establishment stage to the late-Foundation Establishment stage.

Needless to say, Lin Shuangwan not only suppressed her strange illness, but her cultivation level also skyrocketed.

But to come to Dongfang Huaizhen, saving two or three months of cultivation time is a bit too little.

"Could it be because the difference in our cultivation levels is too great?"

Song Zhao could only make this conjecture.

Seeing Song Zhao deep in thought, Dongfang Huaizhen closed the window and asked, "How was your rest?"

Song Zhao exclaimed "Ah!" and laughed, "I'm afraid it might not be very feasible."

"Unless the sect leader lends a hand."

Dongfang Huaizhen's phoenix eyes were full of suspicion: "How can we liven things up?"

As a woman who had not experienced love for over three hundred years, she was quite inexperienced and naive in this regard.

Song Zhao leaned closer and whispered instructions in his ear: "Just do it like this..."

Dongfang Huaizhen's face flushed instantly, and she touched her itchy earlobe: "Do you men like these things?"

"I also learned about it from the book," Song Zhao said with a mischievous grin.

"Alright then, I'll give it a try, you filthy man!"

"The sect leader truly has a broad mind and a magnanimous spirit."

......

......

The sun sets in the deep valley, creating a scene of twilight.

After a long day, Song Zhao rubbed his face. The Yin and Yang within his body were constantly interacting, making his physique stronger, but he didn't feel like he was about to break through to the late stage of the second level of the Dao Body.

On the contrary, Dongfang Huaizhen sensed the key to a breakthrough and was meditating and circulating his energy in his Xuanfu.

She cultivates the core technique of the Heavenly Martial Sect, the Heavenly Martial Demon Subduing Scripture, and has already reached an extremely profound level.

However, in Song Zhao's opinion, this technique was crude and vulgar, and he never expected that someone would actually use it to cultivate to the Golden Core realm.

Bang!

A soft sound came from Dongfang Huaizhen's lower abdomen, causing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in his spiritual acupoint to resonate.

At the same time, a vortex of magical power appeared centered on her body, frantically absorbing the spiritual energy in the spiritual cave!

From a distance, one could see many illusory figures of gods and demons surrounding Dongfang Huaizhen, which were being destroyed one by one by the cloud of energy she exhaled from her mouth and nose.

Not long after.

Dongfang Huaizhen opened his phoenix eyes, which contained wisps of heavenly light: "My cultivation has broken through one level and I am now at the eighth level of the Golden Core stage."

"Tonight's capture of that cultivator from the Innate Demonic Sect will increase our chances."

"Here's a plum branch for you. Take it. Activate it as soon as you spot any trace of that Innate Demonic Sect cultivator."

"As long as that person isn't a true disciple of the Demonic Sect, they'll probably be tracked down by the formation."

"Yes."

Following instructions, Song Zhao broke off a plum blossom branch in the courtyard and returned to Tianwu Peak.

He did not go anywhere else, but returned to the vicinity of the Grand Elder's palace.

The alert level tonight is even higher than last night.

Including Elder Cui Yu, there are a total of four Golden Core elders in the sect, all of whom are stationed near the foot of the mountain.

Huai Xiaoxiao and her two other students were placed under special protection and were not allowed to go out at all.

Tonight, we must capture the innate demonic cultivator!
