Free Web NovelChapter 672: Chapter 370: Nine Deaths Evil Technique
Just before Elder Gu Yue returned to his residence, he passed by the residence where Su Que was located.
At that time, Su Que was sitting cross-legged within a stone chamber.
Strands of purple-black True Qi interwove and boiled on his body.
The karmic force within his body had dissipated completely.
He moved his mind slightly, summoning his attributes.
Nine-Turn Celestial Demon Technique (Peak of the 8th Realm 23%) [Top Grade Heaven-Reaching Technique]
As the Nine-Turn Celestial Demon Technique was cultivated, the karmic force continuously produced side effects on his body.
However, he could reverse these side effects.
Therefore, during cultivation, his body felt warm and comfortable.
His flesh and meridians became more resilient and compact.
His remaining lifespan was also gradually extending.
Suddenly, Su Que sensed a wave of spiritual energy penetrating through the stone chamber’s walls, probing towards him.
This wave of spiritual energy was extremely secretive, almost like the air.
If Su Que’s spiritual power was slightly weaker, he might not have noticed this wave of spiritual energy.
’What’s going on?’
Su Que immediately activated the Nine-Turn Celestial Demon Technique to conceal his cultivation.
He controlled his cultivation to remain at the realm of the eighth layer of the Merging Realm.
Quickly, this wave of spiritual energy touched his body slightly and then instantly retracted.
At the same time, Su Que also released his spirit to stealthily sense this person.
He discovered that within this person’s body was a faint power concealing their cultivation.
Not wanting this person to discover him, Su Que didn’t use excessive force with his spirit to probe.
However, he was still able to sense that this person’s cultivation was at the late stage of the Merging Realm.
Before long, this person gradually distanced themselves.
’What is this person doing?’
Being investigated by someone, Su Que felt a sense of crisis arise within him.
He couldn’t allow anyone to threaten his peaceful cultivation life.
Thus, he opened the door of the stone chamber and left the residence.
He released gentle spiritual power to roughly perceive this person’s whereabouts, then followed them.
He discovered that in the city, this person was riding a wolf-shaped spirit beast, wandering around Xianming City.
While walking, they also released spiritual power, seemingly searching for someone.
’Who is this person looking for?’
Su Que wondered in his heart.
’Could it be me they are looking for?’
Su Que knew that he had killed people from the Celestial Sect, and it couldn’t be hidden for long.
After all, these people were not entirely like him, who always cultivated in seclusion with almost no contact with the outside world.
As soon as these people disappear for a period of time, it would arouse suspicion.
Thereby, someone would start investigating these people’s whereabouts.
With questions in his mind, Su Que kept a certain distance from Daoist Gu Yue and followed.
About two hours later, he saw Daoist Gu Yue enter a mansion.
As Su Que approached the mansion, his spiritual power subtly sensed that inside, there was a rather strong aura.
’Could it really be that they have come for me?’
Perplexed, Su Que decided to investigate.
He thought, if the Celestial Sect was looking for him, they must have already searched the City Lord’s Mansion and the Celestial Treasure Pavilion before searching for him.
Therefore, to verify this, he planned to investigate the City Lord’s Mansion and the Celestial Treasure Pavilion.
Considering the cultivators in the Celestial Treasure Pavilion had lower cultivation, he decided to start the investigation there.
He walked into a small alley.
Changed his appearance, donned a different set of clothes.
After less than a quarter of an hour, Su Que walked into the Celestial Treasure Pavilion.
At this time, a clerk came to greet Su Que.
Su Que immediately used Telepathy on the clerk.
Due to Su Que’s powerful spiritual power, and the clerk’s low cultivation.
The clerk had no idea he was being subjected to Telepathy by Su Que.
Su Que instantly gleaned his memory.
And in the memory, he saw an old man with a fierce expression, dressed in white, with white hair and beard.
This old man, he had seen before in the memories of others who practiced the Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons.
’Is it him?’
At this moment, Su Que guessed a series of causes and effects in his mind.
In the clerk’s memory, others referred to this old man as "Ancestral Grandmaster" and knew he was from the Celestial Sect.
He then inferred that the old man likely deduced from his purchase of poison, that he was also practicing the Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons.
This time coming, was to absorb the Myriad Poison True Qi from his poison sac.
Having made this conjecture, Su Que’s thoughts raced in his mind.
’If this person wants to absorb the True Qi from my poison sac, then, I can also absorb the Myriad Poison True Qi from his poison sac.’
’After all, this person is the creator of the Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons, surely the Myriad Poison True Qi in his poison sac is not only abundant but also pure.’
’If I were to absorb the Myriad Poison True Qi from his poison sac, the mastery of the Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons would surely increase greatly.’
Upon thinking this, Su Que wanted to understand the cultivation level of this old man to see if he could plot against him.
However, the clerk’s memory did not contain information about the elder’s strength.
’I wonder if Guan Ji knows?’
Su Que pondered to himself, then said to the clerk, "Do you have any sword techniques here, price is not an issue."
He deliberately said this to indicate he was wealthy.
The clerk, upon hearing this, would definitely go search for Guan Ji.
As expected, as he anticipated, upon hearing this, the clerk’s eyes lit up.
He eagerly invited Su Que to sit down, quickly brewed a pot of tea, poured Su Que a cup, and then immediately excused himself to go upstairs to find Guan Ji.
Before long, Guan Ji came down, and Su Que immediately used Telepathy.
Guan Ji’s cultivation was only at the early stage of the Merging Realm.
With Su Que’s current spiritual power, he wasn’t afraid of being discovered by Guan Ji.
However, Guan Ji didn’t know the strength of this elder either.
He only knew that the elder held a significant status in the Celestial Sect.
After acquiring the memory, Su Que casually brushed off with a few words and then left the Celestial Treasure Pavilion.
