Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)

“Tell me where you found it, and I can consider sparing your lives,” Creed Leader Yang said unhurriedly.

He had gone to great lengths to obtain intelligence that someone near Muxue City had acquired what appeared to be Leng Ningxiang’s legacy. He believed that his left arm was surely among her burial goods.

As long as I learn where Leng Ningxiang is buried, I’ll be able to recover my left arm.

But he still couldn’t find it.

The Nine-Netherworlds Creed and the Radiant Sun Creed have just come to the Extreme North, yet they’ve already found my left arm. They must know where Leng Ningxiang’s legacy is.

“What things?” Mu Baiyi and Creed Leader Chi, who were prepared to attack, looked bewildered.

“You put on a pretty convincing act. Looks like neither of you wants to live!” Creed Leader Yang’s expression darkened. Indeed, one doesn’t shed tears until they see the coffin.

Mu Baiyi thought, This Yang fellow is a lunatic. But then again, the Heartless Creed is full of lunatics. As the head of such a creed, it’s only natural that he spouts such crazy nonsense.

Suppressing the urge to curse him out, Mu Baiyi struck simultaneously with Creed Leader Chi.

“Attack together!”

“Golden Crow True Flame!” Countless golden crows formed from the Golden Crow True Flame flew forth from Creed Leader Chi’s eyes, vivid and lifelike.

The golden crows soared toward Creed Leader Yang like lightning. With his arm missing and soul incomplete, he was reluctant to face such a potent yang object and leaped into the air.

“Avici Hell—Grand Millstone!”

An enormous iceberg materialized out of thin air above Muxue City, causing an uproar among its residents. What’s happening? Why has an iceberg suddenly appeared?

Countless bronze chains, seared by flames, descended from the iceberg with a clatter, extending toward Creed Leader Yang in midair. He was ensnared by the scorching chains and dragged toward the iceberg above Muxue City.

The Avici Hell Grand Millstone encompassed the intents of yin and yang. The iceberg represented supreme yin, and the chains represented supreme yang. When a condemned soul was bound to the yin iceberg by yang chains, it felt as if one was ground by a millstone, the torment ceasing only after one had been reduced to dust.

“Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell.”

Lu Yang was still contemplating whether to ask the Everlasting Immortal Fairy to open the ice case. Before he could decide, a loud commotion came from outside.

He pushed open the window and saw Mu Baiyi and Creed Leader Chi fighting someone he didn’t recognize.

“Wow, how did the fight break out?” Meng Jingzhou slapped his thigh in regret. I should never have come to the Extreme North.

I may have avoided running into four great demon kings, but this time, there are four Transcendent Tribulation cultivators.

Who tempers themselves in the mundane world with four Transcendent Tribulation cultivators battling overhead?

~~~

In the backyard, the old horse looked up at the sky, occasionally lowering his head to nibble grass, then looked up again. He hadn’t come to the Extreme North as a guardian this time. He was here to watch the spectacle.

Finally, there’s some spectacle to watch.

~~~

“Why is Mu Baiyi calling the other person Creed Leader Yang? Could he be Creed Leader Yang of the Heartless Creed?” Lu Yang recalled that only the Heartless Creed Leader’s surname was Yang. His true name was unknown, and according to the two captured vice-creed leaders, even they weren’t certain if his real surname was Yang.

“So it really is Yang Kongtong. I didn’t expect this brat to still be alive. He’s a tough one.” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s voice sounded in Lu Yang’s ear.

“I’m surprised that he didn’t die after being dismembered, instead using a secret art to sleep through his tribulation. Or did his harem never intend to kill him, only wanting a part of his body to accompany them forever?” the Everlasting Immortal Fairy speculated.

“Regardless, his method is nowhere as good as this immortal’s Play-Dead Technique.” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy bragged proudly.

If someone were dismembered while playing dead, they would return to life in the same condition once the technique was dispelled. It was unlike Yang Kongtong, whose soul and left arm were still missing.

“Is that to say that the Heartless Creed’s Creed Leader Yang is Yang Kongtong?” Realization dawned on Lu Yang. The Heartless Creed’s heritage truly runs deep.

At home, Su Yuan gazed at the sky nervously. He hadn’t expected a battle to erupt near the martial arts school right after he got home.

I hope Teacher Lu and the others are safe.

Inside Su Yuan’s mental space, the white figure that had sealed away its own power watched the battle between the three creeds through Su Yuan’s eyes. The moment he saw Yang Kongtong, cold sweat poured down his face, and he trembled uncontrollably. Fragments of lost memories surged forth, piecing together the events of his past.

“I... remember now. I am Muxue City’s city lord!”

He jerked his head up, blazing with fury as he roared at Yang Kongtong. “It was you! You killed me and took my place!”

~~~

At Shi Yi’s home, the Ice Jiao Tribe Chieftain had been catching up with the others when he looked up at the sky, his eyes widening and jaw dropping.

“Ancestors above, how did four Transcendent Tribulation cultivators suddenly appear?”

Isn’t it said that Muxue City doesn’t have a single Transcendent Tribulation cultivator?

I’d just come to a parent-teacher conference to make an impression on Lu Yang. Who would have expected such an exciting show afterward?

~~~

Attacks continuously rained down from the sky. If they hit the sky, it would result in serious casualties.

The higher-ups of Muxue City acted simultaneously to block the attacks. They had never imagined that their city lord was no longer the same person.

Muxue City had a Great City Defense Array, but only the city lord knew how to activate it. Yang Kongtong certainly didn’t care about the city’s citizens.

“Oh no, two attacks are coming down on my side at once!” Vice City Lord Ma cursed. He couldn’t block two strikes.

Suddenly, a small wooden sword flew past and deflected one of the attacks.

“Senior!” Vice City Lord Ma was deeply moved, searching for the owner of the small wooden sword. So that sword venerable has been in Muxue City all this time.

“What a nuisance.” Yang Kongtong was losing his patience. Although he held a slight advantage over his three opponents, defeating them quickly wouldn’t be easy.

“Retrieve my arm, complete my soul, and everything will be solved.”

Yang Kongtong moved toward the martial arts school as he fought.

“Oh no, stop him!” Mu Baiyi grew anxious. Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou are inside the martial arts school. Nothing must happen to them!

Besides, I have a vague feeling that if Creed Leader Yang gets close to the martial arts school, there will no longer be any chance of victory.

Seeing Mu Baiyi’s reaction, he was certain that Mu Baiyi had found his arm.

“Incinerating Heaven, Boiling Seas!” Creed Leader Chi and Liu Zhen acted simultaneously. Blazing flames appeared in their palms, a single wisp capable of evaporating a lake.

“Avici Hell—Avici Saber!”

Mu Baiyi wielded the Avici Saber, pitch-black and wreathed in ghostly shadows. It had been nurtured in the Fengdu Ghost City for decades, becoming his life-bound magical treasure after he advanced to the Transcendent Tribulation Stage.

“Plum-Plucking Immortal Palm.”

Unwilling to face these moves head-on, Yang Kongtong repeated his earlier move, striking Creed Leader Chi’s abdomen with his palm.

Creed Leader Chi was sent flying like a kite with a broken string, crashing through the martial arts school ceiling and landing before Lu Yang, writhing on the ground in pain.

Yang Kongtong’s gaze fell upon the two ice cases on the podium

Xue Shilou noticed Yang Kongtong’s gaze and quickly shielded his ice case.

“Found it!”

Seeing Xue Shilou’s reaction, Yang Kongtong extended an invisible giant hand and forcibly seized the ice case.

“My ice case!” Xue Shilou cried out, but to no avail.

Yang Kongtong couldn’t help but caress the ice case. How long has it been? At last, my body is complete.

His lovers hadn’t killed him after dismembering him. Instead, they had each taken a part of him, burying his body parts with them as burial objects. Unwilling to accompany them in burial, he had used a secret art to enter slumber.

During the Great Xia era, his head had been awakened by a little cultivator. He had constantly cajoled the little cultivator into searching for his other body parts, helping him to return to his prime.

“Oh no, don’t let him get the ice case!” Mu Baiyi shouted, realizing that the ice case contained the “thing” Yang Kongtong was looking for.

“Too late!”

Without hesitation, Yang Kongtong crushed the ice case and pulled out an icicle shaped like a sword.

The battle came to an abrupt halt.

The three Transcendent Tribulation cultivators from the two creeds stared at Yang Kongtong in bewilderment. Is this ice sword really something that precious?

“Where’s my arm?!”
