Cultivation is just so scientific!-Chapter 286 - 189 Task_2

Chapter 286: Chapter 189 Task_2

Perhaps they thought that this place was close to the spirit beast territory and, given that the Senluo Sect had a vast and great enterprise and was unifying the Ten Thousand Great Mountains, such a trivial matter was not worth their attention.

However, they underestimated the determination of the Senluo Sect to deal with those who dared to provoke them. The three tasks were almost issued simultaneously, and it happened that Li Yuanba was targeting this region for investigation and took on these three tasks.

This kind of task was the favorite of the outer sect combat cultivators. Three early-stage Foundation Establishment Loose Cultivators had limited combat power, and although the task location was somewhat far, going there once could complete all three tasks simultaneously. Who wouldn’t like such tasks?

Li Yuanba looked at the task details and the locations of the three early-stage Foundation Establishment Loose Cultivators were marked very clearly.

He sighed at the formidable intelligence of the Senluo Sect while shaking his head at the reckless audacity of the three early-stage Foundation Establishment Loose Cultivators.

Based on the marked locations, he found the first cave dwelling. He discovered that the cave dwelling had no formation activated and its interior had been cleared out.

...

“Escaped?” Li Yuanba didn’t expect to come up empty and quickly rushed to the second cave dwelling.

This time he sensed that the formation of the cave dwelling was in operation, which suggested that the Loose Cultivator of Foundation Establishment within might still be present.

“Zhang Tiande, you’ve committed a serious offense, come out and face your death!” Li Yuanba shouted sternly at the cave dwelling.

It wasn’t just Zhang Tiande, the master of the cave dwelling inside, but also four Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

“Senior, you must save us!” Zhang Tiande looked at the late-stage Foundation Establishment old cultivator with pleading eyes.

The other two early-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators who had participated in the incident also bowed and earnestly pleaded with the late-stage old cultivator. When they had made their move, they indeed hadn’t realized that the collection team belonged to the Senluo Sect; otherwise, they wouldn’t have dared to rob them even if they had multiple lives.

By the time they realized that it was a collection team from the Senluo Sect, they were too reluctant to give up the Spiritual Objects they had acquired, and the Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the collection team had fled immediately, never giving them a chance to silence them.

What was done was done; they left behind the Spiritual Objects and spared the lives of the Qi Refining Cultivators of the collection team.

In the following days, they lived in fear until they eventually sought help from Mao Bin in the Golden Crow Mountain Range, a strong late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Unexpectedly, Mao Bin agreed to have a look and even brought a mid-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator with him for assistance.

“The matter I’ve agreed to will naturally be handled, but after I save you, you must join us and never betray us!” Mao Bin said with a faint smile on his face as he sensed the level of Li Yuanba from outside.

Although the Ten Thousand Great Mountains were under the control of the Senluo Sect, there were still many forces resisting the Senluo Sect. They didn’t dare to openly challenge the sect, but they would continuously make moves in secret to cause losses to the Senluo Sect.

Many of these cultivators were from sects that had been destroyed by the Senluo Sect, as well as cultivators who had sworn deadly enemies with the Senluo Sect.

The Senluo Sect had destroyed countless sects in the Ten Thousand Great Mountains, and the number of such cultivators was incalculable.

If it weren’t for Li Yuanba coming here this time, three more early-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators would have been added to this group, and Zhang Tiande’s group of three would appear on the Senluo Sect’s hit list.

“Follow me and let’s eliminate the Senluo Sect cultivators together!” Mao Bin said with a laugh as he stepped out after receiving the agreement from the three cultivators.

Li Yuanba was preparing to break the formation when he sensed a powerful aura rising from the cave dwelling.

His figure flashed, retreating a distance as he kept his eyes fixed on the direction of the cave dwelling.

Subsequently, five Foundation Establishment cultivators emerged from the cave dwelling, with Mao Bin’s late-stage aura overwhelmingly pressing towards Li Yuanba from afar.

The gap in cultivation levels had a significant impact in battle. The aura of a late-stage Foundation Establishment was not small for an early-stage cultivator, enough to slow their actions and put their spirits under pressure.

“The Senluo Sect is carrying out its duty, and you dare to defy it. Are you not afraid of being utterly annihilated?” Li Yuanba said sternly, surprised that there were cultivators in the Beishu Ten Thousand Great Mountains who dared to confront the Senluo Sect.

“The Senluo Sect is indeed very powerful, but this is the Golden Crow Mountain Range, my territory,” Mao Bin laughed and proclaimed. “Nine Senluo Sect Foundation Establishment Cultivators have already died at my hands, and you will be the tenth!”

The Golden Crow Mountain Range was quite special. It was close to the spirit beast territory, and Golden Core cultivators didn’t frequent it much. Golden Core cultivators coming too close to this area could trigger a reaction from the spirit beasts.

Spirit beasts could tolerate the presence of Foundation Establishment cultivators, but the appearance of Golden Core cultivators within such close proximity would put them on alert, even to the point of launching a preemptive attack.

It was precisely for this reason that, with his late-stage Foundation Establishment strength and no Golden Core cultivators from the Senluo Sect to interfere, overcoming Mao Bin was possible for other Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Senluo Sect, but killing him was very difficult.

“Mao Bin, hold on, I’ll check!” Li Yuanba, upon hearing this name, felt it was somewhat familiar, as if he had seen it before.

He took out his Identity Jade Disc and found Mao Bin in the wanted list of the outer sect’s combat department, a third-level task with contribution points as high as eight hundred.

“Are you Ling Bin?” he then looked at the Mid-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator beside Mao Bin, asking with a tone of surprise.

“Is this guy in the mask crazy?” Ling Bin, standing beside Mao Bin, felt baffled. There was one late-stage, one mid-stage, and three early-stage cultivators here, while Li Yuanba’s eyes shone eagerly, looking at them as if a miser had found a gold mine.

“It seems there’s no mistake, Mao Bin, you’re worth eight hundred contribution points, Ling Bin, you’re worth three hundred, and you three are worth less each, only fifty contribution points!” said Li Yuanba with a laugh.

He was certainly not crazy. If a fight really broke out, his solitary combat power would be no problem for escaping, but defeating a Late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator was impossible.

But with Jiang Chen present, he needed not worry about insufficient combat power.

“Be careful, this kid is tricky!” Mao Bin, however, coolly cautioned.

At that moment, Li Yuanba gently removed his mask, revealing an indescribably exquisite face.

Even Mao Bin couldn’t help but be stunned, unable to imagine that someone so handsome could exist in the world.

And in that moment of Mao Bin’s astonishment, Li Yuanba released Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen transformed into a shadowy figure, appearing right in front of Mao Bin.

Mao Bin’s spiritual power shimmered, and a Spirit Artifact Shield automatically protected him. As an experienced Late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator with incredibly condensed and vigorous spiritual power, he always maintained his Spirit Artifact in a defensive state, which was his guarantee for having survived so long.

Jiang Chen’s claws, imbued with Sword Intent, carried an unimaginable force and struck the Spirit Artifact Shield.

Mao Bin only felt a simultaneous shock to his body and mind, his body involuntarily stepping back two paces, and the Spirit Artifact Shield before him wobbled, seemingly on the verge of breaking apart.

He could no longer reinforce his defenses; the time for reaction was too short.

Li Yuanba’s tactic of using his appearance worked every time; Mao Bin was not the first, nor would he be the last victim.

Mao Bin’s only hope was the life-saving talisman. If the talisman could repel Jiang Chen, it would buy him time.

Enduring the backlash from the spirit mark of his Spirit Artifact Shield due to the impact of the Sword Intent, he activated three powerful talismans at once, each strike possessing the power of a Late-stage Foundation Establishment.

Seizing the opportunity as he used the talismans, he also discerned what Jiang Chen was.

It was precisely because he saw what Jiang Chen looked like that his scalp tingled, the hairs on his body stood on end, and a chill settled in his heart.

“A top-tier Iron Corpse, not far from becoming a Silver Corpse… This is what an early-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator can have?” Mao Bin thought in horror. Right then, there was only one thing on his mind—to flee the moment the three talismans repelled Jiang Chen.

His blood ran cold, his mind extraordinarly clear.

Being so close to a top-tier Iron Corpse and engaging in close combat with it meant not even two of him would stand a chance, let alone one.

The three powerful talismans struck Jiang Chen, not just the talismans, but Ling Bin, seeing Mao Bin under attack, also launched a Spiritual Flying Axe with a swing of his hand, aiming it at Jiang Chen.

“Boom,” the assaults from the three powerful talismans merely resulted in a loud noise; all three talismans hit Jiang Chen simultaneously, and the flying axe also heavily struck Jiang Chen’s head.
