My Cultivation Starting from Archery

"Wait!"

Xue Xianrong had just taken out the box when he sensed someone approaching from behind.

"Damn it!"

Zhang Wuya cursed, "It's that Lu Shengzhi, what are they doing here?!"

"Senior Brother Xue!"

With a helpful demeanor, Chen Sansi led Lu Zhiyong and others over, "Do you need our help?"

"Where did this Demon Beast come from?!"

Without waiting for a reply, Lu Zhiyong had already noticed the massive Moving Mountain Ape attacking their fellow disciple sister and charged forward with his flying sword.

"..."

Xue Xianrong saw this group of unexpected visitors and knew his plan had already been thwarted, with the risk of exposure.

He had no choice but to echo, "Yes, we also discovered a Demon Beast here, so we rushed back to check the situation."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's rush in together, slay this Demon Beast, and then split the Copper Coins!"

Chen Sansi summoned the Shangqing Sword and joined the lineup to besiege the Moving Mountain Ape.

"Roar—"

Even if the Moving Mountain Ape had great Qi Power, it couldn't withstand the assault of more than ten people. Its tough skin was quickly cut by blades, its flesh and bones constantly torn, as blood sprayed out like a gushing spring, emitting a tragic wailing sound.

"..."

Xue Xianrong closed his eyes, unable to bear watching.

"This..."

Zhang Wuya and the others looked on with deep pain.

The Moving Mountain Ape was a very rare spiritual beast, not only strong in combat but also exceptionally loyal to its master. The most crucial point was...

This spiritual beast had the potential to form a Core!

Xue Xianrong had secretly raised it in the back mountain as a last-resort lifeline, not knowing how much time and resources it had cost. It had finally reached the second-tier peak, never expecting it to die in such a humiliating way.

"You wretched beast, meet your end!"

The hot-blooded Lu Zhiyong, with his hands performing incantations, unleashed a brilliant show of Sword Moves. The Shangqing Sword before him shone with golden light, layers of Sword Qi tearing through the sky, piercing the huge body of the Moving Mountain Ape. He then leapt into the air, chanting incantations, and with all his strength, delivered a dazzling Sword Move, severing the Demon Beast's entire head.

"Boom!"

Accompanied by a deafening roar, the giant creature crashed to the ground.

Lu Zhiyong stood on the corpse's back, slowly pulling out the Shangqing Sword, feeling a surge of War Intent as he basked in his own glory.

Xue Xianrong pressed his eyes shut forcefully.

"Is Senior Sister okay?"

Chen Sansi communicated telepathically, "What exactly is that Evil God meant for?"

He had only heard the other side say that the blind woman had fallen into evil, and the Evil God could awaken demonic barriers, but he didn't know any of the specifics.

For example, had Jiang Xiyue truly fallen into evil? If not, what was the situation Xue Xianrong claimed to have seen with his own eyes?

Understanding these would be necessary to find a way to solve the problem at its root.

The blind woman didn't respond, only swept through the air over everyone's heads with a biting chill, disappearing towards the direction of Star Peak Mountain.

"Eh?"

The various cultivators were somewhat displeased.

They had come over to help, but the woman in black left without even a word of thanks.

"Forget it, forget it."

Lu Zhiyong said, "Our Sister Jiang usually keeps to herself, don't take it to heart.

"Senior Brother Xue!"

He came to the elder's son's front, seeking to earn credit, "Did I come in timely fashion?"

"Was there progress in the recent Shangqing Sword technique?"

"If there was, could Senior Brother Xue put in a good word for me with our Master?"

"Hehe."

Xue Xianrong forced a smile, "Certainly, certainly."

"This second-tier peak Demon beast, even if split, each of us would get a good number of Copper Coins."

Chen Sansi said, "Brother Lu, let's take it back and exchange it first."

"Alright!"

The group lifted the Demon beast's corpse and took to the air.

Only after they had gone far, did Xue Xianrong finally contain his anger, "Outrageous, outrageous!"

"Senior Brother!"

Song Jing said, "That Lu Shengzhi deliberately led people over here!"

"I've said it before."

Zhang Wuya snorted coldly, "That guy doesn't know how to appreciate favors and should have been taught a lesson long ago!"

"This person knows what we're up to."

Xue Xianrong's gaze was dark, "It indicates that he knows the inside story and, nine out of ten, is in cahoots with that Jiang."

"I originally didn't want to involve others for the sake of fellowship, but if he insists on harboring Demon cultivators, then he can't blame me!"

...

Dragon Elephant City.

Chen Sansi and the others returned to the dojo and exchanged the Moving Mountain Ape for Copper Coins to split evenly.

He noticed that the bulletin board had a few more tasks.

Among them was "investigate the Mortal Dead Village".

It seemed that even those above didn't have a clue about the happening at the Dead Village.

This wasn't a solution.

Just like back in Beiyang, Chen Sansi and the others knew that the Seven Killings Sect was spreading a Demon Technique, but they were powerless, nearly causing a huge disaster in the end.

"Right."

He suddenly thought of the Demon Slaying Sect's extensive information network. Shangguan Siheng and those people were recently in Si Xue Dao, maybe they might know something.

However, this would have to wait until they lived through Mingquan Lake.

After splitting the Copper Coins, Chen Sansi and Lu Zhiyong, along with others, found a place and briefly discussed how to proceed with the task.

Two days passed in a flash.

Leading ten Qi Refining Disciples, they left Dragon Elephant City and headed straight for the Tianshui Border.

At the edge of Star Peak Mountain, there was a pass, tightly adjacent to the banks of the Tongtian River, marking the boundary between two continents.

Outside the pass lay the vast wilderness filled with Demon Clan camps.

Standing on the city wall, Chen Sansi gazed at the flickering bonfires in the darkness and quickly identified a suitable gap to infiltrate.

They didn't leave the city; instead, they used the underground tunnels within the city to enter the surging river, employing Water-Avoidance Spells to cross the several hundred zhang wide Tongtian River, then continued forward using the Earth Tunneling Technique.
