Li Chengfeng appeared to be closing his eyes and meditating, but in reality, he was stabilizing his newly advanced cultivation realm.
These people were unaware that he had actually surpassed a level, yet he deliberately suppressed his cultivation, feigning the fourth level of Qi Refining to mislead his opponents.
He had already conceived the idea of retreating, but he was not in a hurry to act, instead calmly responding to the situation.
Moreover, although the number of Blood Shadows had not been fully replenished, with only five remaining, he had mastered the two great skills of the Life-Death Step and the Wither-Bloom Finger.
Despite failing to learn the Substitute Puppet Technique, it still strengthened his determination to escape. His mind raced, contemplating how to leave quietly without being noticed.
If he successfully escaped and returned to the sect, he would inevitably face sanctions from the Blood Demon Sect, at which point, Senior Brother Xue Wenlong would certainly not let him off.
Xue Wenlong, as a second-generation cultivator, definitely possessed life-saving treasures.
Just as he was pondering, baleful energy surged out of the Earthly Fiend Cave, like billowing black smoke, instantly dropping the surrounding temperature to freezing point, forcing everyone to form protective barriers with their spiritual power to resist it.
Xue Wenlong's eyes flashed with fanaticism as he clenched his fists and said, "The Earthly Fiend is about to erupt, but the most essential part is still hidden within it, we must delve deeper."
He turned to Li Chengfeng and ordered, "Junior Brother, go in and investigate first, we will provide support from behind."
The smiles on their faces revealed a threat, if Li Chengfeng refused, he would be thrown into the cave.
Li Chengfeng looked terrified, trembling as he said, "Senior Brother, I am afraid, there may be unknown dangers within this cave."
Xue Wenlong sneered, "As a disciple of the Demonic Path, how can you be so timid? How can you cultivate like this?"
Li Chengfeng seized the opportunity to request, "Senior Brother, can you grant me a Blood Spirit Pill to embolden me?"
Xue Wenlong coldly laughed, "Blood Spirit Pills are so precious, if not for fear of you being eroded by the baleful energy, why would I give you one so easily? Enter quickly, or don't blame me for being ruthless."
Li Chengfeng nodded in agreement and floated towards the cave entrance, but in his heart, he was already prepared to escape.
He stepped into the cave entrance and felt the baleful energy invading his body, but this baleful energy was not fatal to him, instead, it became a supplement to his cultivation.
He activated the Wither-Bloom Sky-Piercing Art and frantically absorbed this baleful energy and death energy, this was the first time he had encountered such rich baleful energy, so naturally he would not let this opportunity pass.
Soon after, his expression suddenly changed, his divine sense was exceptionally strong, even surpassing that of ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators.
His divine sense range had expanded to six hundred meters, far exceeding cultivators of the same realm.
He suddenly discovered traces of a formation ahead, within which were hidden six cultivators.
They abandoned distracting thoughts, focused and vigilant, with magical artifact shields on their bodies to resist the invasion of Yin energy.
The leader was dignified, righteous, with eyes as firm as rock, his cultivation had reached the peak of Qi Refining. Judging from their attire and aura, they were actually disciples of the renowned Heavenly Sea Sword Sect, one of the Eight Righteous Sects.
The Heavenly Sea Sword Sect was known for its offensive power, its sword techniques were like the sky and the sea, and it had a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator overseeing it, its strength should not be underestimated.
At this moment, Li Chengfeng instantly realized that he was trapped, this was undoubtedly a carefully designed trap for Xue Wenlong.
He originally thought that his caution could avoid all disasters, but he did not expect to fall into this trap after all.
He momentarily suspected that this might be a conspiracy of the Fallen Copper Coin, but after careful consideration, he felt that it was not.
After all, the Fallen Copper Coin could only provoke people's anger and self-destruction, and could not influence people's fortunes.
He felt indignant, if he was in the hands of the Blood Demon Sect disciples, he might still have a chance of survival, but facing these six sword cultivators, each of whom had reached the peak of Qi Refining, especially the leader, who had already stepped half a foot into the Foundation Establishment realm, his strength was terrifyingly despairing.
Faced with such a desperate situation, Li Chengfeng felt both unwilling and helpless.
He understood that even if he could escape and tell Xue Wenlong, the other party might not believe him. Moreover, even if the other party believed him, how could he retreat unscathed under the fierce attacks of these sword cultivators?
This would undoubtedly expose his strength. At this moment, he was caught in a dilemma.
However, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of the principle of "finding life in a hopeless situation."
He decided to take a gamble and pretend not to have discovered these sword cultivators and continue forward.
And similarly, the other party also discovered his existence.
A cultivator with large ears and sloping shoulders next to the leading sword cultivator said disdainfully, "Senior Brother, look how insidious and cunning these people of the Demonic Path are.
They actually sent a small demonic cultivator at the fourth level of Qi Refining in to scout the way and die. Xue Wenlong is not too stupid after all!"
"Hmph, but so what? Today is destined to be his day of death. He actually dared to tease the Heavenly Sea Sword Sect's Fairy Xu Huixin, then he is destined to die.
I will definitely kill him for the Fairy, and the other heads will be sent to the Fairy as a congratulatory gift.
The Fairy is currently in closed-door cultivation to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, once she leaves seclusion, she will definitely succeed in Foundation Establishment. If I send this congratulatory gift, I will definitely be able to gain her favor.
When the time comes, if I break through my realm again, that will be a beautiful story."
Although these words were whispered, Li Chengfeng's hearing was exceptionally acute, and he heard them all.
He understood in his heart that it turned out that Xue Wenlong had teased the Heavenly Sea Sword Sect's beautiful fairy, Xu Huixin, arousing the murderous intent of her admirers, which led to him being trapped in this dead end. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Beauty is a disaster!"
Just as he was pondering, suddenly a figure broke through the air, and a cultivator holding a long sword had already placed it against his throat.
The cold sword blade made him shiver. He quickly begged for mercy: "This fellow Daoist, please be merciful! I am just passing by this place and have no ill intentions. I will leave now..."
However, the cultivator sneered, "A small demonic cultivator still wants to leave? We are righteous cultivators, since you are a member of the Demonic Path, then don't think about leaving alive!"
As soon as Li Chengfeng heard that they were cultivators from the Heavenly Sea Sword Sect, he was immediately so frightened that he collapsed to the ground.
He quickly begged for mercy: "Several Immortal Masters, please spare my life! I just joined the Demonic Path not long ago and haven't harmed anyone. You see, my strength is only that of a rogue cultivator.
I was forced to come here by them. I am really not a demonic cultivator!"
As he spoke, he displayed the spiritual power on his body, which was indeed the righteous spiritual power cultivated by the Wither-Bloom Sky-Piercing Art. This spiritual power showed a milky white light, although it was thin, it was indeed so.
Seeing this scene, those cultivators were also somewhat surprised.
The handsome leading cultivator nodded and said: "Rogue cultivators are indeed like rootless weeds.
It is rare that you can cultivate to the fourth level of Qi Refining at such a young age. Are you willing to join my Heavenly Sea Sword Sect?"
Li Chengfeng cursed inwardly, but his face revealed an uncontrollable excitement, and he asked with a slightly trembling voice: "Are you serious, Senior Brothers? Don't deceive me!"
"Our dignified Heavenly Sea Sword Sect, a righteous sect, absolutely keeps its word, otherwise, wouldn't we be slapping ourselves in the face?" The leading cultivator said solemnly.
