Chapter 356 - 203: Linglong Sword Tian Qiweng (2)
Every disciple at the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer has a reputation in the Outer Sect of Five Extremes Mountain, and they are not to be underestimated.
Following Liou Yuan’s gaze, that Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer disciple appeared to be around thirty years old, with a medium build, a gaunt face, and slightly sunken cheeks.
On his back hung a long spiritual sword emanating a chilling murderous aura.
A fierce scar slashed diagonally from the corner of his left eye, adding a hint of ferocity, narrating a thrilling story of a past fierce confrontation.
Despite the scar crossing his face, the sharpness in his eyes remained undiminished.
When Liou Yuan scrutinized him, his gaze also timely turned toward Liou Yuan, sizing him up. Upon seeing Liou Yuan’s face, a slight smile appeared in his eyes as he softly called out Liou Yuan’s name: "Liou Yuan."
After Liou Yuan killed Liou Tao, his notorious reputation spread far within the Outer Sect, and few were unaware of him.
Similarly, Liou Yuan recognized the scarred man’s identity, directly calling out his name: "You must be Linglong Sword Tian Qiweng, Brother Tian. I’ve heard much about you, a pleasure to meet."
Tian Qiweng, a veteran disciple of the Fifth Peak, and also a member of the Wind Chasing Division.
In the Wind Chasing Division, he’s considered one of the older members, and having survived numerous battles, his strength is certainly not weak.
Though not among the top ten experts in the Outer Sect, he certainly ranks within the top twenty.
To rank within the top twenty of the entire Outer Sect at the Five Extremes Mountain, under Foundation Establishment, one could almost take on any notorious task.
Relying on his Linglong Sword, he has slain over a hundred notorious figures, earning great fame.
"It’s all just a hollow reputation, not worth mentioning; Mr. Yan is much more accomplished." Tian Qiweng awkwardly smiled, being one of the candidates bested by Yan Yingsi in the captain contest.
Seeing Liou Yuan’s arrival, Tian Qiweng was more than pleased, praising, "I’ve heard Mr. Tang mention that a master would join our Wind Chasing Division. I pondered over who could earn such attention from Mr. Tang."
"I never imagined it’d be you, Brother Liou Yuan. Haha, someone like you is just what our Wind Chasing Division needs."
Both Tian Qiweng and Mr. Tang shared the sentiment that a ruthless figure like Liou Yuan suited the Wind Chasing Division, whether confronting demon cultivators or capturing notorious figures requires someone more fierce.
"It’s my first time executing a mission for the Wind Chasing Division, and I will need your guidance, Brother Tian," Liou Yuan courteously smiled.
Not wanting to attract attention, Liou Yuan wore a Night Concealing Mask to suppress his cultivation to the Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer, yet even so, no one underestimated him.
The other five members mostly gazed at Liou Yuan with caution.
Liou Yuan not only slew Liou Tao but also defeated Zhan Huaping, who possessed superior magical artifacts, in Erosion Land.
Among the crowd, except for Tian Qiweng, none dared claim they could definitely beat Zhan Huaping.
After the pleasantries, Liou Yuan glanced around but did not see Yan Yingsi’s figure and was about to inquire.
Mr. Tang’s slow figure emerged from the Wind Chasing Division’s hall, plastered with notorious figures’ portraits, explaining to everyone, "Yingsi led our team to Qingbao County half a month ago, and you are the last batch to go."
"As per usual, you seven will be led by Tian Qiweng. Once you reach Qingbao County and rendezvous with Yingsi, further arrangements will be made by her."
Though Mr. Tang’s cultivation seemed low, only Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer, he spoke with assurance, even Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer Tian Qiweng respectfully listened.
Witnessing this, Liou Yuan couldn’t help but ponder inwardly, "This Mr. Tang is no ordinary person; previously keeping Yan Yingsi, and now commanding Tian Qiweng respectfully — doesn’t seem like a Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer."
With these thoughts, Liou Yuan couldn’t resist secretly using Evil Eyes to scrutinize Mr. Tang further.
Yet no matter how many times he looked, Mr. Tang’s cultivation in Liou Yuan’s vision remained at Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer, with spiritual power even more flimsy than typical.
"This time, the reward points are based on the cultivation level of the slain demon cultivators: Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer grants five points, Eighth Layer eight points, Ninth Layer fifteen points."
"The demon cultivators’ aura will be recorded in your Disciplinary Hall disciple waist tags, return them for me to register, and I will report collectively."
The veteran Disciplinary Hall disciples weren’t new to group missions; Mr. Tang’s words were clearly an added explanation for Liou Yuan.
While speaking, he also specially smiled at Liou Yuan.
Liou Yuan naturally understood Mr. Tang’s care and nodded with a smile.
Afterwards, Mr. Tang briefly summarized the action details for this operation.
"By Sect Leader’s orders, any cultivators practicing demon skills are demon cultivators, regardless of their sect — be it Lingxiao or others, even disciples of Five Extremes Mountain dare to practice demon skills should be slain first."
"Even with a Golden Core background, do not hesitate; after their execution, the sect will back you, ensuring nothing remains."
These final words strongly reflected Five Extremes Mountain’s style and perfectly matched Xuanyi’s Hundred Ghosts Asura reputation.
Years ago, he acted similarly, regardless of background, executed first.
These words undoubtedly reassured everyone present.
Even Liou Yuan couldn’t help but smile, "So long the Sect Leader promises the sect’s backing, I can go on this trip reassuredly and kill without worry."
Mr. Tang had exhaustively covered what’s needed, Liou Yuan glanced at him and nodded toward Tian Qiweng.
Acting as temporary squad leader, the latter understood, and with a grand gesture towards the six members including Liou Yuan, said in a steady tone, "Set out!"
