Imperial Cultivation-Chapter 1135 - 1131: The Beginning

As the number of martial arts masters increased, taverns and inns became bustling.

Especially in the early morning, the taverns were crowded with all sorts of people.

Travelers passing through, new martial arts masters, local residents.

"Did the Cave Mansion really appear?"

A cry of surprise instantly drew the attention of those around.

The speaker was a young swordsman, with a longsword hanging at his waist, looking proud and confident.

Beside him sat three other young swordsmen, all equally spirited.

They laughed and chatted loudly, as if nobody else was around.

"That’s right, it’s called the Feixue Cave Mansion." Another young man slowly nodded. "But the troublesome part is, this cave mansion is not fixed and can only be seen if lucky."

"Not fixed?... What do you mean?"

"It’s as if it has legs and moves by itself, here today, gone tomorrow. Only with enough luck can you see it."

"Isn’t that too bizarre?"

"The world is vast and full of wonders; although strange, it’s not too strange."

"I for one have never seen such a cave mansion."

"These caves are originally from ancient times, how many can we witness?" Another young man shook his head. "How can we find it?"

A young man asked, "Brother Li, did you see it and go inside?"

The proud young man shook his head and sighed. "I just glanced at it from afar before it vanished."

"That’s a real shame."

"So how did you come across it, Brother Li?"

"I was aimlessly wandering outside the city and suddenly looked up to see it in the distance. By the time I got closer, it had already disappeared."

"Odd..."

"I wonder if anyone has been inside. It’s said to hold ancient legacies, extremely mysterious."

"Hard to say, those who entered wouldn’t tell, just silently make their fortune."

"Of course, it can’t be disclosed. Feixue Cave Mansion, truly a fitting name!"

...

Chu Zhiyuan and Lu Xiaolu sat among the crowd, listening to the surrounding discussions.

The two had changed their appearances, disguising themselves as ordinary-looking youths.

After listening to the discussions, Lu Xiaolu chuckled and whispered, "Junior Brother, your trick really is strange."

She hadn’t expected Chu Zhiyuan to make the cave mansion move like this.

Chu Zhiyuan just smiled.

This Biyuan Heaven was unusual; in the Outer Heaven and Little Outer Heaven, it was common.

Many secret lands are like this, with changing entrances and exits.

Lu Xiaolu glanced around.

Though she now had an ordinary appearance, her eyes remained bright and lively as she whispered the Sound Transmission into Secret: "Are there disciples of the Myriad Blood Sect here?"

Chu Zhiyuan replied, "The table to our left, those three are. Two tables away in front, those two as well. And one more table behind, those four also."

Lu Xiaolu widened her bright eyes.

She didn’t expect so many disciples of the Myriad Blood Sect to be present.

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head. "It seems they have mastered the art of concealing their breath."

These disciples couldn’t escape his Super Sense but had the Concealing Breath Secret Technique, making it hard for others to detect them.

Lu Xiaolu frowned lightly, "Concealing their breath... it truly is troublesome."

Even she didn’t sense these experts from the Myriad Blood Sect, naturally hoodwinking others too.

With this, ambushing and scheming against major sect masters becomes too easy.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "It seems they are taking the bait. We can now do as we please."

"Start today?"

"Yes, it shouldn’t be delayed too long."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

This operation was a joint effort by the Four Sects, with their masters lying in wait in secret.

They are ready to storm the Myriad Blood Sect’s lair at any moment.

With them here, their sect’s stronghold remains vulnerable and shouldn’t remain so for long to prevent unforeseen events.

The Four Great Sects scheming against Qinglian Sea and the Myriad Blood Sect, who’s to say there aren’t others from the Demon Realm and Evil Sects plotting against the Four Great Sects?

The sect’s stronghold shouldn’t be left empty for long.

So it must end quickly.

"Junior Brother, I find the Myriad Blood Sect to be much stronger than we imagined."

"They understand the Concealing Breath Technique, clearly hiding their strength." Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

If they hadn’t found their lair and seen the Evil Venerable Statue, they might not have taken them seriously.

All these years and no one discovered their lair; just thinking about it reveals how remarkable it is.

Lu Xiaolu hesitated, "I’ve been wondering if they’re so low-key, could we not be seeing their full strength?"

Chu Zhiyuan turned serious.

Lu Xiaolu said, "The lair we found, is it truly their main one?"

Chu Zhiyuan seemed thoughtful.

Lu Xiaolu said, "Perhaps it’s just my imagination."

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head, "Your concerns are not unfounded; this could be just a part of them, perhaps there’s another lair. When we make a move, we must carefully search for any secret communication with other places."

Lu Xiaolu smiled when she saw Chu Zhiyuan support her idea.

Chu Zhiyuan laughed, "Not undeserving of being my Senior Sister, always so meticulous."

"Always trying to make me happy," Lu Xiaolu rolled her eyes at him, though her lips curled up.

Praise from others didn’t make her as happy, but Chu Zhiyuan’s praise filled her with excitement.

"Senior Sister, I’m about to make a move," Chu Zhiyuan sighed. "Hopefully, not too many will join in the frenzy."

The cave mansion matter involved not only Myriad Blood Sect disciples but many martial arts masters.

Tongyuan City was situated beside the highway with endless passersby, spreading the news quickly.

Such news was particularly sensitive to martial arts masters, who reacted quickly.

Lu Xiaolu said, "There’s nothing we can do about it. Just refrain from killing them."

She knew Chu Zhiyuan’s plan might drag some curious martial arts masters into the vortex.

Chu Zhiyuan nodded, put down his chopsticks.

The two left the tavern together, directly exiting Tongyuan City.

...

"The Feixue Cave Mansion has appeared again!"

A loud shout silenced the noisy tavern.

People looked towards the source of the sound.

They saw four young men putting down their chopsticks and rushing out.

The crowd quickly stood up and followed them outside.

The four young men glanced back at the crowd following them, hesitated for a moment, then ignored them and sped up.

As they ran, the crowd behind followed.

Eventually, they all activated their Qinggong like a gust of roaring wind, rushing out of Tongyuan City toward the south.

They ran south for over ten miles, finally seeing two large characters on a cliff face: "Feixue".

A cliff over two hundred meters high, steep and vertical, those lacking skills in Qinggong didn’t dare to climb.

Among the group of people, only half dared to use Qinggong to rush upward.

When these martial arts masters reached the cave entrance, they found nine passages, twisted and cold, hard to see inside.

So they split into nine groups, each taking a passage inward.

Halfway through, dozens of flying knives suddenly shot from all directions.

These knives were incredibly fast and powerful, hitting their targets, some on vital spots, some not.

Those hit on vital spots fell dead, while others clutched their wounds and exited the cave.

The flying knives were too formidable, and they realized they couldn’t withstand them. No matter how good the cave was, one needed life to enjoy it.

But after these injured people exited the cave, soon almost all of Tongyuan City knew of the cave’s location.

Thus, batch after batch of martial arts masters ventured into the cave, losing their lives or surviving with injuries.

By noon, in the curious eyes of people, the Feixue Cave Mansion turned ethereal, eventually vanishing from the cliff.

People rushed over, finding the area smooth and solid, no different from the surrounding places.

Yet the Feixue Cave Mansion was nowhere to be seen.

This unbelievable event made the Feixue Cave Mansion even more legendary, attracting more and more martial arts masters.

By late afternoon, Chu Zhiyuan and Lu Xiaolu stood side by side on a mountain peak, basking in the evening glow.
