Chapter 179: Sweeping Out the Hell Path Stronghold (Part 1)
Celestial Vein Sword Mountain.
When it comes to supporting friends, Sword Cultivators have always done a fantastic job. Delicacies from all over the Cultivation Realm, Spirit Fruits and fine brews are delivered like flowing water.
Some are clearly freshly picked from the ground, filled with abundant Spiritual Qi and the unique aura of the Eastern Domain...
Li Ye's heart stirred.
He looked around and saw his second senior brother, who had been absent until now, raising a cup to him with a gratified smile:
"You've done well."
"When you return, the sect and the master have rewards for you."
"Next is True Man Li's banquet, enjoy yourself!"
After transmitting his voice, the second senior brother drank the wine in his cup dry, gave Li Ye's Rice Robe woven from rice grains a look of envy, and quietly left.
Li Ye watched his brother's departing figure, his lips couldn't help but lift into a smile. This time, without the sect's assistance, I successfully formed a Golden Core, and such a unique core at that.
Actually, what he most wanted to boast about was to his master and senior brothers and sisters!
Especially Senior Brother Su and others, they probably haven't formed their Golden Core yet, whereas I've already done it—really want to see their dumbfounded expressions.
"Why are you laughing, Brother Li?"
Wei Qingye next to him asked curiously, "Could it be you thought of something good again? With so many Taoist friends present, why not share to make us all happy?"
At the banquet scene, only the two of them were Golden Core, no other Sword Cultivator elders sitting here, just so they could be carefree.
"I indeed have something I'd like to invite everyone for." Li Ye understood Wei Qingye's hint, simply stood up and said loudly, "Have you all heard of the Hell Path?"
Cultivators looking towards Li Ye nearly all frowned, how could they not have heard of Hell Path?
This line of Demonic Cultivators is notoriously evil. If not for their rat-like skill in digging hiding places, they'd have been dug out and beaten to death by the big sects long ago.
Taoist Friend Zhu from Qiongguan Mountain first spoke, "Taoist Friend Li, do you know where the Hell Path's stronghold is?"
"Yes."
Li Ye nodded, "I know, and I can determine their stronghold location. We just need the elders of Celestial Vein Sword Mountain to draw a line of Sword Qi for us to enter that stronghold."
"What's so difficult about that?" Wei Qingye also wanted to reclaim dignity for a long time, eager to try.
He directly said, "Once you know their spatial location, I'll immediately ask my master to help, and call a group of senior brothers to support!"
Sword Cultivators sitting nearby were even more fiendish with few words, "Where? How many? Are we to kill them all?"
The eyes of other cultivators also showed eagerness.
For them, not to mention the treasures of Hell Path, just the fame from eradicating its stronghold is enough for them to gain benefits.
Especially Loose Cultivators, if they gain this fame, their future path will surely be much smoother—having fought together, aren't they friends?
"Since True Man Li invited, and it's a good thing to wipe out Hell Path, we shall risk our lives with the gentleman!"
"We are all Righteous Path cultivators; it's our duty to eradicate the Demon Sect!"
"...Even though all are Demon Sect, but we're not the same as Hell Path!"
The last sentence was, of course, uttered by the white-robed Demonic Cultivator. She swept a glance at the surrounding cultivators expressionlessly; they were still a bit embarrassed since those to be eradicated were just beside them...
The scene was a bit awkward for a moment.
Fortunately, Li Ye's gentle voice from the main seat came:
"Taoist Friend is from Yaoxiang Demon Sect, right?"
"I've heard about your sect's situation; indeed, it can't be said to be an absolute Demon Sect. Regardless of sect relations, you're a friend of mine, Li Ye!"
This statement is quite bold.
But Four Seasons Sect is indeed more lenient compared to those sects. Apart from some 'bad people' affecting their farming cultivation, generally speaking, friends are worldwide.
Moreover, this is Li Ye's first banquet after forming his Golden Core, so even if some dislike Yaoxiang Demon Sect, they can't say anything.
"..."
The Yaoxiang Demon Sect female cultivator he treated with such sincerity was momentarily stunned.
As a Demonic Cultivator, she usually sees all kinds of plots and backstabbing, never witnessing such spring sun-like smiles?
There was no mixture of reluctant and deliberately false formality, only pure friendliness towards a friend.
Her face under the mask turned slightly red.
She showed no sign on the surface, only nodded slightly.
"Hmm."
"Thank you, Taoist Friend Li."
Other cultivators might not notice anything, but Wei Qingye keenly noticed a hint, transmitted to Li Ye teasingly, "Did you see this Demonic Cultivator blushing? Was it intentional on your part?"
He was answered only by Li Ye's slightly bewildered look and a clear, warm smile with no disguise, "What are you talking about?"
"..."
At that moment, Wei Qingye almost suspected this might be some Hehuan Demon Sect Cultivator.
But not really, Hehuan Demon Sect always exploits their allure, but it doesn't quite compare to Li Ye's naturally pleasant smile.
Wei Qingye shook his head, changed the topic:
"Brother Li, although you and I are already Golden Core, these Taoist friends are just Foundation Establishment; should we truly venture to Hell Path, casualties will inevitably occur."
"It's your matter; if there are indeed casualties..."
"That's what you're worried about." Li Ye replied, "No need to worry. Do you see this Rice Robe on me? Inside is pure Spiritual Power transformed from those grains in Ring Heaven Domain.
