My Enemy Became My Cultivation Companion-Chapter 935 - 545: (Bonus 3-in-1)

The fainted headliner was quite good-looking, but even so, the little fox was still better.

Not to mention she's a woman from the White Lotus Sect; such cults are often skilled in all sorts of sinister sorceries, more vicious than the Ming'an Divine Sect. If the latter is a group of fanatic and staunch outsiders, the White Lotus Sect would be a band of madmen practicing fringe and deviant ways.

After some hugging and embracing with the little fox, Chen Yi released his grip, and thinking of how he hadn't eaten meat for several days, he couldn't help but feel itchy inside.

Yin Tingxue was taken aback, quickly retreating into the corner.

Chen Yi sneered, glancing at her. The little fox lowered her head, neither agreeing nor rejecting, only pointing her small finger at Donggong Ruoshu.

He glanced at Donggong Ruoshu, and the stupid girl, realizing it, stared straight back at him.

Chen Yi could only sigh, silently abandoning his plan,

Could it be he wants Miss Donggong, ignorant of worldly matters, to watch a live spectacle?

The little fox was about to stealthily smile when suddenly she heard...

But even so, there are other ways to satisfy...

Yin Tingxue's face turned slightly pale; she glanced at Chen Yi, who looked back without a hint of concession.

How could he think that way? She hadn't done anything wrong...

Feeling miserable inside, she lowered her head, sulking.

It was still early; Chen Yi scanned the headliner on the ground, contemplating whether to perform soul extraction, then asked within the Square Land.

"They'll notice." The old saintess inside the tripod responded slowly.

Chen Yi nodded slightly; the White Lotus Sect excels at exorcism techniques. Direct soul extraction cannot be concealed from them, and avoiding suspicion would be difficult.

"Young man, why not sneak out to take a look?" the old saintess suggested.

Chen Yi listened to this, then asked, "Have you discovered something?"

Since joining the White Lotus Sect, the old saintess had restrained her divine sense to avoid being detected by them. Now speaking out of the blue, who knows what unusual thing she'd found.

"I haven't discovered anything; it's this tripod... it's resonating with other tripods." The old saintess said, "The resonance is very faint, almost undetectable. I only just felt it."

Chen Yi's eyes narrowed. From what he knew, the No-Life Tripod had the ability to devour and refine souls. Given this, the White Lotus Sect's main altar must be hiding something substantial, requiring numerous souls to nourish.

With a thought, Chen Yi didn't hesitate further, instructing the two women to stay put here.

"If she wakes up, just scare her back into fainting."

Donggong Ruoshu nodded heavily, shoving her face in front of the headliner, waiting for her to wake up.

Chen Yi grabbed the concealment talisman; sparks fluttered as the burning talisman turned into layers of hazy light, enveloping him. He flipped out the window, stepping into the shadows.

Daoists seek demons and spirits either by forming hand signs, burning incense, or directly smelling; the methods are varied and strange, but all ultimately aim to find the places with the heaviest "Qi".

All things possess "Qi"; demons have demonic Qi, humans have human Qi, deities have divine Qi, thus the most ancient Taoist skill in the world is Qi Observation Skill.

Leaping onto the rooftop, Chen Yi opened the Heavenly Eye, gazing at the Qi of the White Lotus Sect's main altar.

This side green, that side yellow, here black, there red, various different Qis mixed together, creating chaos and unrest in people's minds. Chen Yi skimmed over it briefly, his gaze stopping at one spot.

There's no Qi there.

In a place as chaotic as an abyss, there was a spot with not a hint of Qi.

Chen Yi pondered slightly, his feet tapping as he jumped over several roof tiles, heading towards that place.

Along the way, he could faintly see several rough dwellings in the outer valley, likely the living quarters of ordinary members of the White Lotus Sect, who weren't allowed near the core area of the main altar. As Chen Yi realized, the further he went, not only did the outer dwellings decrease, but the buildings also became scarcer.

It looked like a forbidden area.

Chen Yi cautiously proceeded, unsure of how many turns he made, bypassing several buildings, standing on the eaves, and then suddenly crouching down, as someone approached.

In the distance, he saw two people walking together. A glance revealed they were Violet Compassion Sage and Huang Duren.

"Big brother, that person is odd. He claims to be from the Divine Sect, but he didn't specify his position," Huang Duren's left arm hung down, able to move slightly. Chen Yi glimpsed from a crack in his sleeve, seeing many patches of flesh twisted together, looking grotesque and writhing, with tiny lights flickering inside, as if nails had sewn the skin together with some unknown spell.

"He has the Divine Sect's token; we're short on people, so that's enough." Violet Compassion Sage replied, "Don't act rashly against him. Once we reach the Demon Refining Abyss, we'll lure him to the front to scout."

Huang Duren chuckled and said, "Big brother, your divine strategy is brilliant."

"Spare me the flattery. You haven't been back long; your strength hasn't recovered, don't be hasty to clash. Once we reach the Demon Refining Abyss, activate the grand formation. There'll be plenty of people for you to kill."

Grand formation...

Hiding in the distance, Chen Yi picked up on something. As he suspected, Violet Compassion Sage had concealed many things during the previous banquet. Their purpose in entering the Demon Refining Abyss was certainly not just to deal with the demons there.

Releasing demons to retaliate against Dragon and Tiger seems easy, but how to control these demons and prevent them from turning against us?

Moreover, recalling the later sentence "there won't be a shortage of people for you to kill".

"Some kind of blood sacrifice ritual?" Chen Yi mused.

"Sacrifices from Xia people merchants..." murmured the old saintess.

"How do you know?"

"Just deduction; Duke Zhou established the Zhou rites, abolishing human sacrifices, though there were occasional sacrifices during the Zhou era, they never matched the prominence of Xia and Shang times. Hence Confucius said: 'The originators of likeness have no successors. For they use human effigies.'"
