Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

A demon beast that seemed to have cultivated a unique technique, whose strength was comparable to a Core Formation late stage cultivator, a Core Formation late stage cultivator possessing a high-grade magic weapon, plus a Core Formation early stage cultivator equipped with a special defensive magic weapon—this was not something their four-man team could easily handle. Since that was the case, they couldn't force the issue.

Zhao Guangnai quickly made a decision and chose another solution: reason and negotiation! As for the Yang Yuan Crystal, he would treat it as Guan Yinglong's delusion, and it was very likely just that.

"Fellow Daoist Fire Crow, it's been a century. I didn't expect you to join our ranks. Congratulations!" Zhao Guangnai raised his hand to stop the three behind him, and spoke to the glaring Fire Crow Daoist from a distance of thirty-odd feet, his tone calm and measured, without any hint of joy or congratulation.

"Elder Zhao is still going strong in his old age. Your cultivation is becoming more profound, only half a step away from Great Perfection, truly admirable!" Fire Crow Daoist cupped his fist, saying in a serious tone.

Zhao Guangnai was six hundred years old, nearing his end. His cultivation had not improved for many years, always stuck in the state of being 'only half a step away'. Therefore, Fire Crow Daoist's words, though polite, were not exactly kind.

Zhao Guangnai was experienced and deeply scheming, and seemed to have not heard this, only smiling slightly: "We old folks are getting old, the world belongs to these young people."

As he spoke, he pointed to Zhang Yuanjing, and said: "Although this fellow Daoist has only recently entered the Core Formation stage, his strength is extraordinary. I have made several attempts, but have not been able to defeat him. May I ask how you are addressed?"

Zhang Yuanjing cupped his hands: "This humble Daoist is Zhang Jing, greetings Elder Zhao."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Guangnai raised his eyebrows and said faintly: "So it's Fellow Daoist Zhang, a pleasure to meet you. My good-for-nothing disciple, the one who calls himself Spirit Sword, must have fallen into your hands. However, at that time, your realms were equal, and he took the initiative to challenge you to a duel. Life and death are determined by fate, so I have nothing to say."

He then pointed to Guan Yinglong, who was being held by Ape Thirteen, and said to Fire Crow Daoist: "Fellow Daoist Fire Crow, in the past century, my Crimson Blood Valley has finally added such a Core Formation junior, hoping that he will inherit the foundation and pass on the torch. Please be accommodating and release him. What conditions do you have? Feel free to bring them up for discussion!"

Fire Crow Daoist chuckled: "Elder Zhao has asked the wrong person. This Fellow Daoist Zhang is in charge here. Ask him if he agrees, I will listen to him!"

Zhao Guangnai said "Oh", moved his deep eyes like a pool of cold water, and looked at Zhang Yuanjing again: "Fellow Daoist Zhang is truly unfathomable! Admirable, admirable! Please raise your hand and spare the life of my Guan Shizhi!"

Zhang Yuanjing had just used all his skills to escape from this old Daoist, and was quite wary of his strength, knowing that it would be difficult to gain any advantage today, so he said: "Elder Zhao is too polite. This humble Daoist has already sent a message that as long as your sect hands over my junior, this Fellow Daoist Guan will naturally be released."

Zhao Guangnai still had an ancient well-like appearance, and asked softly: "Who? What does she look like, how old is she, what is her cultivation base?"

Zhang Yuanjing quickly said: "A demonic cultivator, a woman who looks to be in her thirties, surnamed Zhang, named Zhang Xuan."

Zhao Guangnai turned to Hong Guanghao and said: "Sect Leader, is there such a person in the valley?"

Hong Guanghao quickly shook his head: "Zhao Shixiong, there is absolutely no such person!"

Zhao Guangnai then said to the Core Formation early stage cultivator behind him: "Yingwu, go to the Demon Slaying Pass and check the traffic records to see if such a person has entered the valley."

Zhang Yuanjing looked coldly at his performance, his face full of mockery and disbelief, but he did not speak to provoke him.

After a short while, the Core Formation early stage cultivator swept back and reported in a low voice: "Zhao Shibo, there is no record of a female demonic cultivator entering or leaving."

Zhao Guangnai looked at Zhang Yuanjing again, and said expressionlessly: "Fellow Daoist, you see, my valley does not have the person you are looking for."

Zhang Yuanjing sent a thought to Ape Thirteen, asking him to throw Guan Yinglong to him, then reached out and patted him on the forehead, waking him up, and then said to Zhao Guangnai: "He was the one who captured the person. He said that the person has been handed over to Xing Guanghan. I wonder where Elder Xing Guanghan is? Please ask him to come out and answer."

Zhao Guangnai said "Oh", and said to Guan Yinglong, who had a splitting headache and was still confused: "Guan Shizhi, is what Fellow Daoist Zhang said true?"

Guan Yinglong did not say anything, and after recovering, he just looked at Hong Guanghao with his eyes. Hong Guanghao turned his head away and ignored him.

Guan Yinglong hesitated for a moment, and said: "Reporting to Zhao Shishu, this is true!"

Hong Guanghao snorted coldly: "Guan Shizhi, you can't talk nonsense. There are records of all entrances and exits of the mountain gate, but there is no trace of this person!"

Guan Yinglong licked his lips and said with his head down: "This disciple handed over the person at Tongyun Palace. I just don't know if my Shifu has returned to the valley?"

Hong Guanghao raised his thick eyebrows, his eyes flashing with cold light, and was about to speak when Zhao Guangnai said faintly: "Elder Xing left the valley two months ago and has not returned yet! Do you know his whereabouts?"

Zhang Yuanjing looked impatient, while Fire Crow Daoist once again transmitted his voice, telling him to be calm and pointing out: Crimson Blood Valley has two factions, one headed by Zhao Guangnai and the other headed by Xing Guanghan. The two factions have been fighting for more than a hundred years, and Xing Guanghan's faction has always had the upper hand. Now that only Zhao Guangnai has come forward, there must be something wrong within the valley. Just wait and see.

Guan Yinglong still lowered his head, and after a few breaths of silence, he looked at Hong Guanghao and said: "Sect Leader Shishu, Shifu said that he was going back to the valley to deal with some matters. He will definitely come back."

The implication was that he was convinced that his master Xing Guanghan was in the valley.

Hong Guanghao sneered and said: "Guan Shizhi, Xing Shixiong is indeed not in the valley. If you want to live, talk to Elder Zhao properly!"

Zhao Guangnai glanced at Hong Guanghao, who avoided his gaze and looked at the mountain wall on the side.

A trace of anger flashed in his eyes, but he ignored this person, and instead said to Guan Yinglong: "What is so special about that female demonic cultivator that you had to ask Elder Xing to come out of the mountain?"

Guan Yinglong looked at Hong Guanghao again, who looked at the side of the mountain wall and did not look at him at all.

"Speak, you can only live if you speak clearly!" Zhao Guangnai's tone was a little gloomy.

Guan Yinglong was silent for a moment, and suddenly said: "Candlelight Yin Art."

"What?" Zhao Guangnai's eyes widened, his eyes filled with shock and anger, and he shouted in a low voice, "What's going on!"

Hong Guanghao, Lu Guangyuan, and the Core Formation early stage cultivator Xu Yingwu were all shocked when they heard the words "Candlelight Yin Art".

Guan Yinglong's body trembled, and he said very quickly: "The technique practiced by that female demonic cultivator is very similar to the Candlelight Yin Art. This disciple asked her, and she also said it was the Candlelight Yin Art. However, this disciple did not dare to make a hasty judgment, so he sent someone to send a letter to Shifu. Shifu soon came to Tongyun Palace, and after seeing the female demonic cultivator himself, he repeatedly tested her, but said nothing, and took her away. As for where she went, this disciple really doesn't know, because Shifu never mentioned it."

Zhao Guangnai's face was as gloomy as water, and his eyes were full of ferocity as he looked at Guan Yinglong. After a long time, he asked: "When did Xing Guanghan leave Tongyun Palace?"

Guan Yinglong said: "Probably, about a month ago."
