Chapter 93: Flying Ship

"Caw caw caw..."

A group of crows were cawing loudly in the sky, circling above the corpses and refusing to leave.

Seven or eight scattered cultivators were squatting on the ground, searching the corpses. For them, the clothes and shoes on the corpses were valuable, and if they were lucky, they could even find some talismans and spirit stones.

With over twenty corpses, they naturally had to search thoroughly.

These scattered cultivators were busy with their heads down, and no one noticed a group of people approaching from outside.

The old ghost leading the way pointed from a distance and cautiously said, "Boss, it's right there."

Chi She glanced at the crows densely covering the sky, then looked at the scattered cultivators searching the corpses. His crimson pupils were filled with uncontrollable ferocity.

He extended his hand and a burst of flame shot up into the sky, landing in the midst of the circling crows. The crimson flames suddenly exploded.

With a loud bang, dozens of crows were shattered by the impact of the intense flames, and the charred flesh, feathers, and blood turned into black ashes and fell from the sky.

The scattered cultivators on the ground, busy searching the corpses, were startled. They looked around in fear and quickly noticed Chi She and his group.

Chi She, standing in front, was tall and wore a crimson robe that billowed like clouds. His crimson eyes were filled with a menacing aura, making people feel intimidated.

Moreover, there were also a group of cultivators around Chi She, numbering around twenty or thirty.

Although the scattered cultivators didn't know what these people were up to, they could tell that they were not good people. Without thinking, they turned and ran.

Chi She waved his hand and said, "Capture them all, don't let anyone escape."

A group of cultivators behind him rushed out, and the scattered cultivators in front ran even faster.

Chi She didn't pay attention to these trivial matters. He restrained the killing intent in his eyes and politely said to the cultivator beside him, Mu Yunxiu, "Please help us take a look, Mu Lao."

"Mm."

Mu Yunxiu nodded arrogantly. He was not tall, with a withered and yellowish complexion that made him look like he had a serious liver disease. However, his small eyes were shining brightly, revealing a sharpness akin to a sword's edge.

Under Mu Yunxiu's gaze, Chi She felt a tightness all over his body, making him feel uncomfortable.

Chi She slightly lowered his head and eyes, assuming a respectful posture.

Although he was the leader of the Chi She Gang, in front of Mu Yunxiu, a Foundation Building cultivator, he had to be respectful and polite, not daring to be impolite.

Mu Yunxiu carefully examined the corpses under the big tree, then walked around the courtyard and looked at the bodies of Bai She and Lao Niu for a while.

He sighed and muttered to himself, "Such a fast sword."

The scattered cultivators had disrupted the original state of the corpses, but the wounds on the bodies were not damaged.

The smooth and neat wound on the neck indicated how fast the opponent's sword was.

The old ghost, who was also thin and small, had been accompanying Mu Yunxiu all along, and he was even more nervous, not daring to breathe heavily.

After pondering for a while, Mu Yunxiu said to the old ghost, "Tell me the situation from last night again."

The old ghost was a little nervous. He tried to recall the events of last night while carefully organizing his words.

"Last night, Da Ya and I were on guard duty outside, on that tree."

The old ghost pointed outside, and from this position, he could vaguely see the tree. "I didn't see anyone else on the tree, only Jiu Ye and his two followers came over.

"Not long after Jiu Ye entered the courtyard, I heard an exceptionally sharp and low sword howl."

The old ghost recalled that scene and still had lingering fear. His eyes couldn't help but reveal a hint of fear.

"I turned my head to look and saw a green sword light rushing into the crowd from the courtyard. I couldn't see the situation clearly because the person's sword was too fast. I could only see the sword light crisscrossing and flesh and blood flying.

"In the end, that person released a red halo, I don't know what it was, and with a turn in the air, he beheaded everyone..."

The old ghost had already recounted these details once, but now, standing at the place where the battle took place, he remembered many more details.

Led by the old ghost, Mu Yunxiu and Chi She arrived under the tree where he had been on guard.

Da Ya's body was still lying there, but his clothes, shoes, and socks had all been stripped off. He grinned, revealing two protruding large buck teeth that were particularly white and eye-catching.

Looking at Da Ya's expression, he must have died in extreme terror, wanting to scream but ending up dead in this state.

Mu Yunxiu didn't pay attention to the somewhat comical buck teeth. He lowered his head and carefully examined Da Ya's forehead, then turned his head over to see a large patch of blood at the back of his head.

"It should be the Ice Arrow Technique."

Muyun Xiu stood up and glanced at the big tree. "At a distance of fifty steps, one Ice Arrow Technique can penetrate the skull. What a powerful spell."

Muyun Xiu had never seen someone cultivate the Ice Arrow Technique to such a level before, and it surprised him.

Chishe was even more shocked. He didn't know the Ice Arrow Technique, but he knew that this low-level spell loses its power beyond twenty steps.

He couldn't help but ask, "Muyun, is the opponent a Foundation Building cultivator?"

"It should be. No matter how much a Qi Refining cultivator trains, their spiritual sense range won't exceed fifty steps. To be able to accurately cast spells from fifty steps away and deliver a fatal blow, that's the power only a Foundation Building cultivator can possess."

Muyun Xiu frowned and said, "But there's one problem..."

Back in the courtyard, Muyun Xiu reexamined the bodies of the White Snake and Old Nine.

Chishe was puzzled. "Muyun, what's the problem?"

"If the opponent is a Foundation Building cultivator, why would they sneak attack?"

Muyun Xiu pointed at the bodies of the White Snake and Old Nine. "Both of them clearly didn't resist and were killed face to face."

Both of them were late-stage Qi Refining cultivators and couldn't compare to a Foundation Building cultivator, but they would still put up some resistance.

Chishe thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps this person is just cunning. Even though they are a Foundation Building cultivator, they still like to ambush others from behind."

Muyun Xiu was somewhat astonished. Foundation Building cultivators are much stronger than Qi Refining cultivators. Even if they had some trouble dealing with a group of Qi Refining cultivators, there would be no need for a sneak attack.

But upon further thought, it wasn't impossible.

People are hard to change. Some people are naturally cunning and vicious, and they enjoy ambushing and sneak attacking others.

Muyun Xiu nodded. "That makes sense. This person, whether it's swordsmanship or spells, is undoubtedly at the Foundation Building level."

Chishe's face became serious. "So, besides Li Shuanglin, there is another Foundation Building cultivator hidden in Feima Village."

"The second, third, and fourth elders were all killed by this person!"

He respectfully asked, "Muyun, do you have a chance of winning against this person?"

Muyun Xiu laughed. "This person is probably just a newly advanced Foundation Building cultivator. They are ruthless enough, but lack sufficient experience. As a mid-stage Foundation Building cultivator, killing them is as easy as flipping my hand."

Chishe was delighted. With Muyun Xiu's words, he felt relieved.

If that mysterious cultivator dared to cause trouble in the mountain, they would have no chance of returning!

But Chishe also felt uneasy. Without Muyun Xiu's protection, they would be walking into their deaths if they entered Feima Village again...

Several escaped wandering cultivators were captured and brought back. Chishe personally killed a few of them, partly to silence them and partly to vent his anger.

"Muyun, let's go back."

Although Chishe was angry, he didn't dare to act recklessly. If he brought Muyun Xiu openly into Feima Village, experts from the Cloud-Connecting Sect would arrive the next day.

Muyun Xiu wasn't interested in Feima Village either. He only came to help Chishe because of their relationship.

He nodded and was about to speak when he suddenly felt something and turned his head to look up at the sky. He saw a faint blue light in the distance.

Muyun Xiu adjusted his eyes and activated his spiritual sense. The faint blue light kept enlarging in his eyes. It turned out to be a blue flying vessel, flying towards Feima Village with the wind and clouds.

On the hull of the blue flying vessel were three interlocking white cloud patterns, the emblem of the Cloud-Connecting Sect.

He couldn't help but frown. "Why is the Cloud-Connecting Sect's Qingmu flying vessel here?"

Chishe didn't have Muyun Xiu's ability. He looked up but didn't see anything. However, he knew that Muyun Xiu wouldn't speak without reason.

"The Cloud-Connecting Sect's flying vessel usually arrives on the first day of each month. It's only the twenty-third today, so why are they here?"

Muyun Xiu said, "Leave two people to deal with the bodies. Let's go first. If the people from the Cloud-Connecting Sect see me, it will be troublesome."

Chishe didn't dare to be careless. The group quickly entered the forest and soon disappeared without a trace.

In his own courtyard, Gao Xian, who was practicing boxing, also saw the blue wooden flying vessel.

Gao Xian thought that the Qingmu flying vessel would land in Feima Village as usual, but unexpectedly, the flying vessel didn't stop and flew directly towards the depths of Tengshe Mountain.

He became excited. "The Cloud-Connecting Sect is really quick to react this time. It seems that when it comes to making money, everyone is particularly proactive..."
